99: Chapter 99 He gave so much!

Ji Jinian heard Yun Xiyue's words, "I promise you."

His heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled.

"Hahaha! I don't have to die!"

"Elder Cao, my Revered Master has agreed!"

"Did you hear? My Revered Master has agreed to serve you!"

"Quickly release me! Release me now!"

Ji Jinian writhed excitedly on the stone bed, making the chains clatter.

On his withered and sunken face, not a single trace of guilt toward his Revered Master could be found.

There was only the ecstasy of surviving a disaster.

Even seeing Cao Kun standing still, he recklessly began to urge him:

"Revered Master, what are you still standing there for?"

"Why haven't you quickly helped Elder Cao out to rest?"

"It's too dirty here; don't let Elder Cao's shoes get soiled!"

Yun Xiyue stood where she was.

Her cold eyes had completely lost focus.

She looked at the man on the stone bed, who was worse than a dog just to stay alive.

She felt her stomach churning, disgusted to the extreme.

This was the "good" disciple she had spent hundreds of years pouring her heart and soul into cultivating.

Selfish, despicable, without a bottom line—nauseating!

"Release you?"

Cao Kun wrapped one arm around Yun Xiyue's slender waist, looking at the deliriously excited Ji Jinian on the stone bed, and spoke leisurely.

"When did I ever say I would release you?"

Ji Jinian immediately grew anxious, shouting at the top of his lungs, "You clearly said just now that as long as my Revered Master agreed to your conditions, you would..."

"I would what?" Cao Kun interrupted with a cold sneer.

"I only asked her if she could reconsider my proposal."

"I never promised that if she agreed, I would let you go."

Cao Kun's shameless wordplay completely stunned Ji Jinian.

"You... you went back on your word! You have no honor!"

Ji Jinian's eyes nearly burst from their sockets as the fear of despair surged into his heart once more.

Cao Kun scoffed, not bothering to pay attention to his barking.

Holding Yun Xiyue, he turned and walked out of the Stone Room.

At the door, Cao Kun stopped and gave an instruction without looking back.

"You just stay right here."

"Don't worry, since your Revered Master has paid the price, I will naturally look after you."

"I'll give orders that only ten old hags will serve you every night."

"I'll leave you with just one breath of life each day."

"I'll guarantee you live a long life."

After speaking, Cao Kun snapped his fingers.

The stone door slammed shut with a boom.

Completely sealing Ji Jinian's desperate screams and vicious curses inside.

Yun Xiyue allowed Cao Kun to hold her, walking with staggering steps through the dim passage.

Listening to her disciple's inhuman wails behind her.

Deep in her heart, an indescribable sense of gratification actually arose.

Yun Xiyue even felt that Ji Jinian ending up like this was entirely deserved; he deserved to die.

The hundreds of years of Revered Master-disciple bond had completely snapped the moment Ji Jinian begged her to compromise.

Since you could betray me to save your own life.

Then being tormented to death inside is your own retribution.

Cao Kun keenly noticed the emotional change in the woman in his arms.

He laughed inwardly.

This aloof mature beauty's psychological defense had been smashed open with a giant hole by Ji Jinian himself.

As for the rest, it was time for him to fill it in ruthlessly.

After leaving the Dark Prison.

Cao Kun did not stop.

He picked up the limp Yun Xiyue in his arms.

"Ah... what are you doing!"

Suddenly being lifted caused Yun Xiyue to let out a short cry of surprise, instinctively wrapping her arms around Cao Kun's neck.

"Naturally, I'm going to collect this Elder's payment."

Cao Kun gave a wicked smile as spiritual energy surged beneath his feet.

He flew straight toward the Medicinal Garden Pavilion on the back mountain of Lianxiang Peak.

That was where the dream began; it had been a long time since he'd been there, and he missed it a little.

...

Returning to the pavilion,

Cao Kun walked to the bedside and let go.

"Aiya..."

With a soft cry, Yun Xiyue fell directly onto the soft silk quilt.

She quickly sat up, pulling her messy white clothes together to tightly cover her exposed skin.

She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.

Things had come to this; having fallen into the hands of this Devil Head, she couldn't resist at all.

But she had her own bottom line.

"If you want this skin, then take it."

"But I will never cater to you. Give up on that..."

"Mmph..."

All protests and pretenses were blocked by Cao Kun's domineering kiss.

At first, Yun Xiyue gritted her teeth and remained silent, intending to play dead to get through it.

As long as she remained as unresponsive as a log.

This shameless scoundrel would eventually find it boring.

But she had no idea how domineering the Chaos Unity Art Cao Kun cultivated truly was.

Nor did she know what a fatal attraction the Blazing Sun Spiritual Root had for the Water Spirit Root.

Her proud composure and the Dao Heart she had cultivated for hundreds of years.

Quickly collapsed and turned into a pool of spring water.

At first, Yun Xiyue felt only humiliation and pain.

But as time passed, she clearly felt it.

With every fusion of spiritual energy.

That strange grayish-black spiritual energy was continuously washing away the Impurities within her body.

She had been stuck at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage for a full sixty years.

In these sixty years, to Breakthrough the Bottleneck, she had consumed countless Medicinal Pills and suffered many hidden injuries.

These pill toxins and hidden injuries accumulated deep within her Meridians.

They became the greatest obstacle that made her cultivation hard to move an inch.

She even thought she would be stuck here for the rest of her life.

But now.

Those stubborn pill toxins and hidden injuries were actually resolved so easily.

Even the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Bottleneck now showed faint signs of loosening!

Yun Xiyue was completely stunned.

What kind of Heaven-Defying Cultivation Technique was this lecherous man cultivating?

It could actually help wash away hidden injuries in the Meridians and aid in a Breakthrough through Dual Cultivation feedback?!

Her pure and noble top-grade Water Spirit Root, receiving such immense benefits, directly defected.

It began to circulate uncontrollably.

Her hands, which had been pushing against his chest, had at some point...

...weakly climbed onto Cao Kun's neck.

"Mm?"

"You... shut up... woo..."

"Oh!"

"Then, do you still not want it?"

"...Mm."

...

Several hours later.

The clouds dispersed and the rain ceased.

Yun Xiyue lay limp in the silk quilt.

Her black hair was soaked with sweat, clinging tightly to her crimson cheeks, making her look charming and moving.

Where was there any of the cold majesty of a sect's Grand Elder left?

Her body felt lighter and more transparent than ever before.

The Nascent Soul Middle Stage Bottleneck had completely shattered.

Now, she only needed an opportunity.

And she could naturally step into the Nascent Soul Late Stage that countless people dreamed of!

Yun Xiyue bit her lower lip.

She didn't know how she should feel when facing Cao Kun now.

Did she hate him?

Of course she did; this bastard used the most despicable means to make her cry out...

But.

He gave simply too much.

Just then.

Several wonderful System notification sounds rang out in Cao Kun's mind.

[Ding! Detected the target has developed deep physiological dependence and psychological wavering!]

[Congratulations, Host, for successfully capturing the sixth Jade Beast—Yun Xiyue!]

[Initial taming value: 5/100!]

[Reward: 500 task points!]

[Current task points balance: 24,200 points!]

Cao Kun leaned against the headboard.

Looking at the numbers jumping on the System panel.

The initial taming value was only 5 points, but Cao Kun didn't care at all.

Although her body had completely fallen under the washing of the Chaos Qi.

Her heart was surely still a bit awkward and tsundere.

This was normal.

After more "communication" in the future, the taming value would naturally rise.

The total task points balance had also reached 24,200 points.

It was time to go to the System mall.

And spend a wave on his group of charming and beautiful Jade Beasts!
