236: Chapter 236 Springtime on the Dragon Throne

Inside the grand hall, the atmosphere had reached a peak of romantic tension.

As her inner garment slipped off, Wu Mingkong's delicate body, like mutton-fat white jade, was completely exposed to the air.

She closed her eyes in shame, her eyelashes trembling, her hands clutching the armrests of the Dragon Throne in desperation, her knuckles turning white from the strain.

"Look at me."

Xu Chen's voice was low and raspy, carrying an unquestionable command.

Wu Mingkong instinctively shook her head; how could she dare to look? Every second of this moment was an ordeal for her, yet it was also mixed with an indescribable anticipation.

"Disobedient?"

Xu Chen chuckled softly, leaning down to take her extremely sensitive earlobe into his mouth, his tongue giving it a gentle flick.

"Ying..."

Wu Mingkong felt as if she had been struck by lightning; a numbing sensation instantly spread through her body, and her already weak frame lost all strength.

"Since you're being disobedient, I'll just have to punish you."

Xu Chen's large hand slid down along her breathtaking curves, finally coming to rest on her flat, firm lower abdomen, gently tracing circles.

"This is the source of the Nine Yin Severed Meridians, isn't it?"

Feeling the bone-chilling cold gathered at her Dantian, Xu Chen's gaze darkened.

"Mm..." Wu Mingkong was no longer able to think, only able to let out an instinctive nasal sound.

"Don't be afraid, it won't be cold for much longer."

"Ah!"

A cry of pain mixed with a panicked scream echoed through the grand hall.

The intense pain made her snap her eyes open; her beautiful eyes were filled with mist as she looked at the man on top of her with a hint of accusation.

Xu Chen's Hongmeng Origin Body was the purest Yang physique in the world, while Wu Mingkong's Nine Yin Severed Meridians were the ultimate Yin poison.

When these two diametrically opposed forces collided within the body, the resulting reaction was like celestial thunder igniting earthly fire.

"So hot..."

Wu Mingkong writhed uncomfortably as the heat surged wildly through her meridians. Everywhere it passed, her frozen acupoints were brutally forced open, and the cold poison that had accumulated for thousands of years melted away like snow under a scorching sun.

"Relax, Mingkong."

Xu Chen gently kissed away the tears at the corners of her eyes. "This is the intersection of Yin and Yang, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Feel it, accept it."

Under his guidance, Wu Mingkong gradually stopped struggling.

She could clearly feel the cold poison that had plagued her all her life receding at a visible rate. In its place was an unprecedented sense of fullness and warmth.

This feeling was too wonderful.

It was like a withered tree meeting spring, or a long drought meeting sweet rain.

As the cold poison dissipated, it was replaced by an unspeakable emptiness and longing.

"Husband..."

She couldn't help but call out the title she had been forced to use in the Sea of Consciousness; this time, however, it came from her heart.

"I'm here."

Xu Chen responded to her, no longer suppressing his desires as he began a vigorous conquest.

Inside the grand hall, the spring colors were boundless.

The pure gold Dragon Throne, a symbol of supreme imperial power, had now become a bed for their pleasure. The carvings of the nine-clawed golden dragons shimmered under the light of the night pearls, as if witnessing this epoch-making union.

From her initial pain and shyness, Wu Mingkong gradually sank into a state of indulgence.

She was a natural-born ruler, with the blood of both conquest and submission flowing in her veins. Yet before Xu Chen, she was willing to be a small, conquered woman.

Her hands tightly gripped Xu Chen's broad back, her nails leaving scratches behind. Her voice transitioned from suppressed moans to high-pitched cries of pleasure.

"I... I'm going to break..."

She pleaded incoherently for mercy, yet met his movements with even more intensity.

At this moment, all her empress's dignity and imperial ambitions were cast to the winds.

In her world, only the man before her and this overwhelming pleasure remained.

Looking at the empress beneath him, her eyes misty with desire and fully in bloom, Xu Chen's sense of accomplishment reached its peak.

This was Wu Mingkong!

The iron-blooded empress who had left a profound mark on history and struck fear into the hearts of countless geniuses!

Now, she was yielding to him in pleasure, allowing him to take whatever he desired.

This thrill of conquest was a hundred times more intense than any divine weapon or peerless cultivation technique.

"Mingkong, remember this moment."

"Ah—!!"

Wu Mingkong let out a long scream.

Within her Dantian, the Nine Yin Severed Meridians that had suppressed her for so long completely shattered in an instant, transforming into the purest Extreme Yin Energy and nourishing her body in return.

Boom!

A terrifying aura erupted from her body.

It was the pressure of a Quasi-Emperor, but it no longer carried a deathly chill; instead, it was filled with newfound vitality and dominance.

Her cultivation had not only recovered at this moment but even showed signs of further progress!

Xu Chen also benefited greatly.

The Empress's Primordial Yin, combined with the Extreme Yin Energy from the resolved Nine Yin Severed Meridians, was a supreme tonic for someone with the Hongmeng Body.

He could feel the bottleneck of the mid-stage Saint Realm he was stuck at actually loosening a bit.

After a long time.

The storm subsided.

Only the sound of their heavy breathing remained in the grand hall.

Wu Mingkong lay limp on the Dragon Throne, her body covered in red marks from their pleasure, her eyes dazed, clearly not yet recovered from the climax.

Xu Chen reached out to pick up the Dragon Robe scattered on the floor and gently covered her with it.

"How do you feel?"

He asked with a mischievous grin, his finger gently grazing her nose.

Wu Mingkong came to her senses and glared at him in shame and anger. She tried to get up but found her whole body weak and sore, unable to move at all.

"Are you... are you a beast?"

She gritted her teeth and cursed, but her voice carried a hint of coquettishness and satisfaction.

"A beast?"

Xu Chen raised an eyebrow. "It seems Your Majesty isn't quite satisfied with the results of the treatment just now. How about another session?"

"Don't!"

Wu Mingkong was so frightened her face paled, and she quickly huddled into the Dragon Robe. "Enough! Truly enough! I... I'm already cured!"

She was truly afraid.

This man's stamina was like a bottomless pit; if they went again, her old bones would truly fall apart.

"Cured?"

Xu Chen reached out and grabbed her wrist to examine her.

Sure enough, the Nine Yin Severed Meridians had been completely uprooted, her meridians were unobstructed, and the spiritual energy in her Dantian was incredibly abundant.

"Since you're cured, is it time to talk business?"

Xu Chen put away his playful grin, his expression becoming a bit more serious.

"Business?" Wu Mingkong was taken aback, then looked at him warily. "What do you want to do?"

"Don't be nervous."

Xu Chen helped her tidy her messy long hair and said calmly, "Although you've recovered now, I'm afraid this Great Xia Dynasty is no longer the Great Xia in your memories."

Hearing this, Wu Mingkong's eyes dimmed slightly.

It was true.

Thousands of years had passed.

The world had changed.

The old friends from back then had likely long since turned to dust. Was the current Great Xia still her Great Xia?

"No matter what it has become, since I have awakened, I will take back this land."

A sharp glint flashed in her eyes—the dignity belonging to an empress.

"Very good."

Xu Chen nodded in appreciation. "This is the Wu Mingkong I know."

"However..."

He changed the subject, reaching out to pinch Wu Mingkong's chin, forcing her to look at him.

"The land is yours, but you are mine."

"Never forget that."

Looking into his domineering eyes, the last bit of pride in Wu Mingkong's heart completely melted away.

She leaned gently against Xu Chen's chest, closed her eyes, and whispered:

"I... I understand."

"Husband."
