69: Chapter 69 Yu Yuanchu lends a helping hand, Long Jiaonan, you can't escape!

"Get in."

Following Yu Yuan Chuyu's order, Ye Xiu unceremoniously climbed into the purple-canopied carriage that symbolized the highest authority in Lizhou.

The interior of the carriage was not particularly spacious, but it was decorated quite elegantly.

A faint scent of sandalwood mingled with the unique, orchid-like fragrance of Yu Yuan Chuyu's body.

Fermenting in the cramped space, it was enough to make one feel slightly intoxicated even before drinking any wine.

"Young Master Ye, please sit."

Yu Yuan Chuyu sat up straight, hands folded on her knees, attempting to maintain the dignity of a Prefect.

However, the blush that had yet to fade from her pretty face...

...and those eyes that dared not look directly at Ye Xiu in an attempt to hide her panic, completely betrayed her nervousness in this moment.

"Lord Yu Yuan, don't be so reserved."

Ye Xiu chuckled mischievously, and instead of sitting on the guest seat opposite, he quite naturally squeezed in beside Yu Yuan Chuyu.

Their shoulders were almost touching.

"You..."

Yu Yuan Chuyu's body stiffened, and she subconsciously wanted to move away.

But she was enveloped by Ye Xiu's scorching pure Yang Qi.

This was a sign that he had just achieved a Breakthrough in the Transformation Dragon Realm, and the Solar True Fire within his body had not yet completely calmed down.

In this enclosed carriage, Ye Xiu was like a mobile furnace.

Baking this Empress, who was dressed in purple robes and silver armor with white mourning clothes underneath, until her whole body felt feverish.

"Young Master Ye, men and women should not touch..."

Yu Yuan Chuyu bit her lip, her voice trembling.

"We are both people of the Jianghu; we shouldn't be bound by trivial matters."

Ye Xiu leaned in close to her ear, looking at her translucent earlobe, and whispered with a laugh:

"Besides, I have a flaw."

"If I'm too far from a beautiful woman, I feel weak all over. And if I'm weak, I won't have the energy to catch that beautiful snake-woman later."

"You—!"

Yu Yuan Chuyu was choked with anger, but helpless.

She could clearly feel the man's scorching breath spraying against her neck.

That tingling sensation rushed straight from her spine to her brain.

Causing her long-frozen Dao Heart to produce a trace of indescribable longing.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore."

Seeing that Yu Yuan Chuyu was about to die of shame and anger, Ye Xiu knew when to stop.

He closed his eyes, his nostrils flared slightly, and a flash of sharp light passed through his different-colored gold and silver eyes.

"Found her."

"The scent on that beautiful snake-woman is quite pungent; I can smell it from ten miles away."

"Stop the carriage!"

Ye Xiu barked a command.

The carriage stopped in response.

At this moment, they had chased her into a secluded valley deep within the dense forest.

It was shrouded in mist, exceptionally hot and humid, and surrounded by strange flowers and plants.

And from the deepest part of the secluded valley, the sound of splashing water could be faintly heard.

"She's just ahead."

Ye Xiu jumped off the carriage first and reached out to help Yu Yuan Chuyu down in an extremely gentlemanly manner.

Yu Yuan Chuyu glared at him, but did not refuse, using his strength to leap down.

The two of them concealed their Qi, like two agile cats, and silently parted the grass, sneaking toward the direction where the sound of water came from.

The further they walked, the stronger the scent of peach blossoms in the air became.

Finally.

When the two parted the last layer of banana leaves.

The sight before them instantly made the murderous Yu Yuan Chuyu blush red, and caused Ye Xiu to stare blankly.

Before them lay a naturally formed emerald hot spring.

Steaming hot, with clouds and mist swirling around.

And in the center of the hot spring, on a smooth blue stone.

Lay a stunning figure that made one's blood boil.

It was none other than the recently escaped Long Jiaonan!

At this moment, her transparent peach-colored palace gown was completely soaked by the spring water.

Sticking tightly to her body, outlining those exaggerated S-shaped curves.

She had her back to them, her long black hair wet and draped over her jade-like back.

She seemed to be healing her wounds.

She extended her frost-white wrist, applying a green ointment to her body.

Her mouth emitted bursts of soft moans that made one blush:

"Mm... so painful..."

"Damn Ye Xiu... he was so ruthless..."

"Shameless!"

As a ruler of a nation, how had Yu Yuan Chuyu ever seen such a lascivious and erotic scene?

Especially upon hearing Long Jiaonan's bone-melting groans, she felt goosebumps all over her body.

"Clang!"

The yu yuan sword in her hand instantly unsheathed.

The Sunset Sword Intent erupted, turning into a crimson streak of light, striking directly at the enchantress in the hot spring.

"Long Jiaonan! Die!"

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't be impulsive!"

Ye Xiu was quick-witted and fast-handed, grabbing Yu Yuan Chuyu's wrist.

"What are you doing?!"

Yu Yuan Chuyu glared at him:

"This enchantress has committed countless evils and is a remnant of the Dragon Control Sect; now is the perfect opportunity to kill her!"

"Kill?"

Ye Xiu shook his head, his gaze fixed tightly on the panicked beauty in the hot spring:

"Such a top-tier stunner, wouldn't it be a pity to kill her?"

"Besides, I haven't asked where the Dragon Control Sect's headquarters is yet."

"Catch her alive! She must be caught alive!"

At this moment.

Long Jiaonan in the hot spring was also startled by the sudden Sword Qi.

"Who?!"

She turned her head abruptly, water droplets still hanging on her beautiful face, her eyes full of fear.

When she saw Ye Xiu's half-smiling face, and the murderous female general in purple robes and silver armor beside him.

Long Jiaonan's heart instantly turned cold.

"Ye Xiu?! Yu Yuan Chuyu?!"

"You pair of wicked lovers! How dare you join forces to bully a weak woman like me!"

Cursing aside, Long Jiaonan reacted extremely quickly.

"Splash!"

She slammed her hand against the water, and her entire body soared into the sky like a lotus flower emerging from the water.

The soaked peach-colored palace gown fluttered in the air, revealing large swathes of skin, making Ye Xiu exclaim in appreciation.

"Want to run?"

Ye Xiu's lips curled up slightly; he didn't draw his sword, but instead reached out to untie the wine gourd from his waist.

"I let you run once before because I, this Young Master, cherish beauty."

"This time, even if you grow wings, don't think about flying out of the palm of my hand!"

"Wine God Curse: Demon-Binding Rope!"

"Pop!"

Ye Xiu pulled the cork from the gourd and took a deep gulp of Guanghan Osmanthus Wine.

"Pfft!"

He sprayed out a mist of wine.

The wine mist instantly solidified in the air, turning into dozens of crystal-clear, wine-scented spiritual chains.

These chains seemed to have a life of their own, weaving into a large net in the air and covering the head of Long Jiaonan!

"No! What is this ghost thing?!"

Long Jiaonan wanted to dodge, but discovered that those chains seemed to have eyes; no matter how she twisted her willow-waist, she couldn't escape.

"Bind!"

Following Ye Xiu's low shout.

Those spiritual chains instantly tightened.

"Ah—!"

A delicate cry.

Long Jiaonan was yanked down from the sky.

Moreover, the way she was tied... it was truly too "artistic."

The chains were wound in an extremely tricky way around her soaked, delicate body.

Digging into her plump breasts, tightening around her slender waist.

And it bound her long, beautiful legs together in an extremely shameful posture.

The peach-colored palace gown, under the tightening of the chains, clung even closer, almost becoming a second layer of skin.

Outlining every inch of her sensitive curves to the fullest.

"Thud!"

Long Jiaonan fell heavily onto the grass by the hot spring.

She struggled desperately, but the more she struggled, the tighter the chains became, leaving her panting and flushed with red.

In that state, how could she look like a captured Devil Head?

She looked clearly like a stunning slave waiting to be favored!

Ye Xiu walked over slowly, looking down at the once arrogant Young Sect Leader.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

"Miss Long, this pose... is quite unique."

"It seems your Dragon Control Sect is not only good at raising snakes, but also quite good at... this sort of thing?"

"You... kill me!"

Long Jiaonan was ashamed and angry to the point of death; she would rather die in battle than suffer such humiliation.

Especially with Yu Yuan Chuyu standing nearby, watching her coldly.

"Kill you?"

Ye Xiu crouched down, extended a finger, and gently stroked her burning cheek, finally resting it on her trembling red lips:

"I, this Consort, already said that I wanted to catch you alive."

"And..."

Ye Xiu leaned in to her ear and laughed mischievously:

"Didn't you say you wanted to dig out my eyes?"

"Now I'm right in front of you, why don't you dig them out?"

"You... wuwuwu..."

Long Jiaonan completely collapsed, and actually burst into tears.

With this crying, that feeling of a beauty in tears, naturally seductive and charming, became even more pronounced.

It made even Yu Yuan Chuyu, who was standing nearby, feel her face flush and her heart race.

"Ye Xiu!"

Yu Yuan Chuyu really couldn't watch anymore; she stepped forward and poked Ye Xiu's back with her scabbard:

"That's enough!"

"If you keep messing around like this, what kind of decorum is that?"

"Hand her over to me; I want to take her back to the government office for interrogation!"
