363: Chapter 363 Poisonous Miasma Enters the Body: The Deadly Temptation of the Pure Lotus

Burning red lips, filled with desperate madness, pressed haphazardly against Xu Chen's chin and the side of his neck.

Ji Qingyun's slender and delicate arms erupted with startling strength at this moment, tightly encircling Xu Chen's neck. Her face, originally as cold and aloof as a Fairy, was now completely overtaken by a layer of seductive crimson.

It was a strange, intense heat capable of incinerating all reason.

"Qingyun! Wake up!"

Xu Chen's brows furrowed deeply. His hands, like iron pincers, decisively caught Ji Qingyun's jade-like hands, which were frantically tearing at his robes.

At this moment, the desolate Basin was fraught with danger; the fragmented Imperial Formation could trigger spatial turbulence at any time.

Although Xu Chen didn't consider himself a Liu Xia Hui who remained unmoved by beauty, he would never absurdly take advantage of a pure Demoness who had just taken human form in such a ruined and perilous place.

However, the overbearing nature of that primordial joyous poisonous miasma completely exceeded Xu Chen's expectations.

This pink poisonous mist, hidden deep within the Killing Formation, was colorless and odorless, specifically targeting the Yao Race with top-tier Bloodlines. Once it entered the body, it would instantly ignite the victim's most primal fires of passion, even completely clouding their Divine Soul with this lustful fire.

"So hot... Save me..."

With her hands pinned by Xu Chen, Ji Qingyun didn't regain her senses; instead, she let out a charming, sobbing moan that could make one's bones go soft.

She twisted her graceful body restlessly, trying to break free from the restraint. Her moon-white, elegant long dress was already in disarray from her violent struggling, exposing large patches of skin as white as frost or snow to the turbid air.

Her eyes, clear as autumn waters, were filled with shimmering tears. They were the aggrieved droplets shed during the frantic battle between her instinctive resistance and the endless longing brought by the Poisonous Miasma.

Looking at the pitiful yet naturally seductive sight before him, even Xu Chen's Supreme Sword Heart couldn't help but throb violently.

The visual impact of pulling a high-and-mighty, holy Fairy down into the mortal realm was the cruelest test for a man's self-control.

"Don't be afraid. I'll force the poison out for you right now."

Xu Chen took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the trace of restlessness in his heart.

He wrapped one hand around Ji Qingyun's slender waist, which could be spanned by a single hand, while his other hand formed a sword finger, a cluster of brilliant purple-gold Hongmeng Creation Qi condensing at his fingertip.

This power, carrying the purest vitality from the dawn of creation, was pointed without hesitation by Xu Chen's finger onto the center of Ji Qingyun's brow.

A purple-gold halo instantly enveloped Ji Qingyun's entire body.

According to Xu Chen's plan, the Hongmeng Purple Qi should be enough to purify all filth in the world; dealing with a mere Poisonous Miasma should be a simple task.

To his surprise, a sudden change occurred.

The moment that Immemorial pink Poisonous Miasma touched the Hongmeng Purple Qi, it wasn't dissolved; instead, like a hungry wolf smelling the scent of flesh, it instantly began to boil!

Ji Qingyun let out a pained groan, her delicate body arching violently.

Within Xu Chen's mind, the silent System panel popped up without warning, and cold text quickly appeared.

[Target's current state is abnormal.]

[Cause: Inhalation of primordial joyous poisonous miasma.]

[Danger Rank: Fatal.]

[Analysis Report: The Poisonous Miasma has penetrated deep into the Demon Emperor's Bloodline and is frantically devouring Primordial vitality to strengthen itself. Conventional spiritual energy detoxification will cause the host's Origin to completely collapse.]

Seeing the text on the System panel, Xu Chen's expression darkened completely.

The ancient emperor who set up this Killing Formation was truly an old pervert. To think he hid such an aphrodisiac that merges with the life Origin in a place of death!

This Poisonous Miasma had already grown together with Ji Qingyun's Creation Green Lotus Origin. If it were forcibly removed with external force, it would be equivalent to draining her life Origin along with it.

"Give it to me... I beg you..."

In the brief two breaths of time while Xu Chen was thinking, the Poisonous Miasma inside Ji Qingyun erupted again.

She completely lost her last shred of reserve, and relying on the powerful physique of the Yao Race, she suddenly broke free from Xu Chen's one-handed restraint.

She opened her arms and, like a moth to a flame, crashed heavily into Xu Chen's embrace. Her burning body pressed tightly against Xu Chen without a gap, and her long, straight legs even instinctively wrapped around his waist.

Xu Chen only felt a faint fragrance wafting toward him.

In Ji Qingyun's blurred eyes, pink watery light flickered. She stood on her tiptoes, her red lips urgently seeking Xu Chen's, kissing and biting haphazardly.

Coldness and indulgence, holiness and depravity.

These two diametrically opposed qualities merged perfectly in Ji Qingyun at this moment, turning into the most lethal poison in the world.

Feeling the burning fire in his arms, Xu Chen's Adam's apple bobbed with difficulty.

He was a normal man, and a Young Master of the Imperial Clan full of vigor. If he could remain unmoved when his beloved woman took the initiative to throw herself into his arms like this, he might as well castrate himself.

"You little vixen, you've really got me hooked."

Xu Chen gave a bitter laugh. He didn't push Ji Qingyun away; instead, he used his arms to tightly pin her restless body and lifted her up entirely.

"Bear with it. I'll take you to find a clean place."

Xu Chen lowered his head and whispered a comforting word by her burning ear.

How could Ji Qingyun listen to any of that?

She only felt that this broad chest was the only life-saving straw she could grasp. Her hands tightly gripped the fabric of Xu Chen's back, and she buried her burning face in the crook of his neck, letting out bursts of unbearable, low weeping.

Xu Chen dared not delay any longer.

He pushed the perception range of the Heavenly Dao Divine Pupils to its peak, searching rapidly through this scarred Basin.

Heaven does not betray those who are diligent.

After passing through a dense area of spatial rifts, Xu Chen's gaze locked onto a black stone wall at the edge of the Basin.

The stone wall appeared normal on the surface, but under the analysis of the Divine Pupils, a hidden defensive Formation pattern flickered faintly. This was clearly a man-made secret Immortal Cave!

It must have been a temporary residence created by the Ancient Powerhouse who laid down the fragmented Imperial Formation while in seclusion here.

Xu Chen was overjoyed.

Holding Ji Qingyun, he turned into a purple-gold streak of light and instantly appeared in front of the stone wall.

He was in no mood to slowly crack the Formation's entrance restrictions.

Xu Chen directly raised his right leg. A phantom of the True Dragon Treasure Technique wrapped around his leg, carrying peerless, violent kinetic energy as he kicked hard at the eye of that hidden Formation pattern.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar resounded.

That defensive Formation, which had endured countless years, shattered like fragile glass under Xu Chen's brute-force kick. The heavy black stone door collapsed inward, kicking up a large cloud of ancient dust.

Xu Chen strode inside.

The interior of the Immortal Cave wasn't large; it was a secret stone chamber carved from a single piece of Warm Jade.

In the center of the stone chamber sat a wide jade bed. Several luminous pearls embedded in the surrounding walls emitted a soft glow, illuminating this enclosed little world.

Most importantly, there was an intact isolation Formation here, completely blocking out the nauseating smell of blood and the deathly cold wind from outside.

Xu Chen carried Ji Qingyun to the side of the jade bed.

The bed was spotless; apparently, the jade had an automatic dust-repelling effect.

Xu Chen had just placed the beauty in his arms onto the bed and was about to straighten up.

But Ji Qingyun clung to his neck, refusing to let go. The immense pulling force brought Xu Chen down with her onto the wide jade bed.

The moon-white dress had already slipped off mostly during the previous entanglement.

Ji Qingyun's flawless shoulders and exquisite collarbones shimmered with an enticing pink glow under the soft light of the luminous pearls. She lay on her back on the jade bed, her black hair spreading out like a waterfall.

She looked at Xu Chen pressing down on her, her eyes full of mist revealing a longing that was almost a plea.

"Help me..."

She parted her red lips, her voice raspy and charming, like the bewitchment of a siren.

Xu Chen propped his hands up on either side of her.

Looking at the Descendant of the Demon Emperor beneath him, who was being tortured by lust and had completely cast aside all her coldness and defenses, Xu Chen's breathing also became heavy.

He slowly lowered his head, gazing deeply into those blurred eyes.

"Qingyun, remember this clearly. Today, you were the one who provoked me."

Xu Chen's voice was low and raspy, carrying an overbearing tone that brooked no resistance.

"From this moment on, you, this Creation Green Lotus, can only be planted in my, Xu Chen's, courtyard for all eternity. No matter who it is, don't even think about taking you away."

Ji Qingyun couldn't understand these words of sovereignty; she only instinctively tilted her head back, meeting Xu Chen's burning breath.

Xu Chen gave a soft sigh.

"Pardon my offense."

The moment the words fell, Xu Chen no longer restrained the fire in his heart.

He took the initiative, lowering his head to heavily kiss those soft red lips he had long desired.

The temperature inside the stone chamber climbed abruptly at this moment.
