192: humiliation

In the end, Immortal King Yu Luan did not take things too far.

She quietly watched Su Quan's flustered back as he fled, her cherry lips curling into a delighted smile.

The meat has been delivered to her mouth; it must be tasted slowly to savor its flavor!

Returning to Lanyue Hall.

Su Quan leaned against the closed palace doors, his body gradually slumping down. His eyes were red and swollen from crying, as if he had suffered a great grievance. He kept wiping his lips with his sleeve until he saw blood, only then stopping.

"Mother, Aunt Yu Luan is a bad person. She's bullying Xiao Quan!"

Su Quan's eyes were misty with tears as he murmured to himself, "No, I have to take my little sister and leave this place immediately!"

He turned around, intending to open the door and leave, but his hands hesitated and stopped in mid-air.

"It wasn't easy for my little sister to find a place where she could Cultivate in peace and avoid the hardships of wandering outside. As her older brother, how can I only think of myself and ignore my sister's situation?"

"If we leave now, my sister will definitely be angry with me, right?"

"But if we don't leave, that bad woman, she..."

Su Quan's haggard brows were filled with conflict.

Watching this from outside the screen, Su Qianqian's heart shattered.

"I... I am truly a beast. I only thought of myself and never realized the enormous sacrifice Brother made for me!"

She slapped herself hard, her cheek swelling red. It seemed this was the only way she could alleviate the guilt in her heart.

In the end, Su Quan chose to stay in humiliation.

However, Immortal King Yu Luan had no intention of letting him off. Every time they met, she would pin him in a corner for all sorts of kisses and ravishing. She seemed to greatly enjoy the youth's weak and submissive appearance in her arms.

As time passed, her behavior became increasingly excessive.

"Aunt!"

Su Quan curled up at the head of the bed, his legs pressed tightly together and his hands shielding his knees. He looked at the approaching woman with terror, pleading softly, "You really can't do this. My mother is your best friend!"

"It is precisely because your mother is this King's best friend that I must take good care of you!"

Immortal King Yu Luan gave a charming smile, emphasizing the words 'take care of,' then wantonly pulled the youth into her embrace. "Little darling, you wouldn't want your sister to know about what happens between us, would you?"

Hearing the mention of his sister, Su Quan felt as if his weakness had been seized, leaving him at a loss.

"As long as you are obedient, Aunt will not let your sister lack for cultivation resources!"

Immortal King Yu Luan's hands wandered as she narrowed her beautiful eyes in enjoyment, her voice carrying a faint hint of threat. "But if you aren't obedient, don't blame Aunt for being ruthless. If some accident happens to your sister, like Qi Deviation..."

"Stop... stop talking! I'll promise you. I'll promise you anything!"

Su Quan shed tears of humiliation and pain, as if he had abandoned all dignity. "As long as you don't hurt my sister..."

"That's a good boy!"

Immortal King Yu Luan was satisfied and casually let down the bed curtains.

The divine dragon exhales mist as the jade phoenix cries; everything is understood without words... Days passed in this peaceful manner.

With the support of Immortal King Yu Luan's massive resources, Su Qianqian's cultivation went very smoothly.

In just five short years, she broke through from Grand Unity Golden Immortal to Grand Celestial Immortal. Then, she took another ten years to break through from Grand Celestial Immortal to Nine Heavens Profound Immortal, leaving her only one step away from the legendary position of Immortal Lord.

However, there is no wall in the world that does not leak wind.

The sordid affair between Su Quan and Immortal King Yu Luan eventually reached Su Qianqian's ears through rumors and gossip.

"Sister Liu, did you see? Young Master Su went to stay overnight at the Immortal King's Dao Palace again!"

"Isn't that normal? I used to think our Immortal King didn't care for men, but it turns out she just hadn't met a top-tier specimen like Young Master Su!"

"Yeah, yeah. Young Master Su's physique is truly vigorous. What woman could resist that temptation?"

"Sigh, by clinging to the Immortal King's thigh, he won't have to worry about food, drink, or cultivation for the rest of his life!"

"..."

A few Immortals were slacking off and gossiping, but they were overheard by Su Qianqian, who had just finished her secluded cultivation.

"Brother? Staying overnight? Vigorous?"

Su Qianqian froze on the spot, failing to react for a moment.

But immediately, her beautiful eyes turned blood-red. She felt a surge of angry blood rush to her head, and her dark hair danced wildly.

What was going on?

Given Immortal King Yu Luan's seniority, how could she be fooling around with her brother!

No, she had to find the two of them and get a clear explanation!

Surging rage caused her to almost lose her reason. Her Immortal Qi blasted back several guards, and without waiting for an announcement, she barged straight into the palace. Naturally, she saw the two figures embracing behind the bed curtains.

The memory clicked into place.

Su Qianqian let out an incredulous roar.

Everything happening before her eyes destroyed her last shred of hope.

"Brother, you can't sleep with her!"

"Aunt Yu Luan, you are unworthy of your status as an elder! Let go of my brother!"

"..."

Immortal King Yu Luan, her mood interrupted, had thunderous rage in her beautiful eyes, and a terrifying killing intent erupted.

"Guards, take her..."

She didn't finish her sentence.

Because Su Quan had already leaned in proactively, kissing the corner of her lips and displaying his passionate side without any reservation.

The youth was meticulous; he knew that if the woman finished her sentence, Su Qianqian would likely not escape death today.

However, this scene falling into Su Qianqian's eyes completely shattered the sacred and noble image of her brother in her heart.

She was restrained by an Immortal Lord and dragged outside.

She struggled violently, letting out roars and curses.

"Su Quan, what are you doing? You lowly man!"

"She is your Aunt Yu Luan! I won't allow you to sleep with her!"

"You are the dignified Emperor's Son of the Su Family! Do you have no sense of shame or ethics? You vile man, go to hell! Die!"

"..."

Su Quan did not defend himself. He only kept the back of his head turned toward the girl as two lines of clear tears fell, causing Immortal King Yu Luan to let out continuous, delighted laughter.

Outside the screen.

Every curse was like a sharp blade, stabbing deeply into Su Qianqian's chest.

She kept slapping herself, her eyes almost blind from crying. Her legs gave way, and she collapsed to her knees on the ground.

"I am a beast! I am a beast!"

"I misunderstood Brother!"

"Brother made so many sacrifices for me, yet I said such hurtful things. I truly deserve to die!"

Within the Void Chaos.

The speed at which Su Quan gained regret value skyrocketed, and his Divine Soul repair had already reached 70%. He grinned; he felt no heartache for Su Qianqian's miserable state.

To Cultivate the Dao, one must first Cultivate the heart.

Su Qianqian's character had flaws, which was a major taboo on the Emperor Road.

If this incident could temper her Heart-Nature, it would be a good thing!

The images continued.

Since that night, Su Qianqian had become completely cold toward Su Quan.

She had once sought out Su Quan for a confrontation.

But the answer she received killed her remaining hope.

"Why can't I sleep with Aunt Yu Luan?"

"Aunt Yu Luan is an Immortal King. She is enough to provide me with a wealthy life."

"As for physical purity and such, is it really that important?"

"Slut!"

This was the final evaluation Su Qianqian gave him. She then went into secluded cultivation, and life seemed to return to its former tranquility.

But only Su Quan, as Immortal King Yu Luan's bedfellow, could scent a trace of danger beneath this surface-level peace...
