643: Chen Xuan takes action to punish

Seeing this, Luo Menglan’s expression turned cold. Calmly, she raised her hands and slowly formed a seal in front of her.

In an instant, the space around her underwent a strange distortion. The previously smooth air seemed to be arbitrarily kneaded by an invisible pair of hands.

Following this, black cracks appeared out of thin air, emitting a heart-pounding Qi from within.

Luo Menglan let out a soft cry, pushing her hands forward fiercely. The black cracks instantly expanded, and countless streams of dark Sword Qi surged out, like a group of wild horses unleashed, roaring towards the Purple Dragon.

The Sword Qi and the Purple Dragon crashed together in mid-air with a thunderous impact. For a moment, light spilled everywhere, and the enormous roar shook the entire palace violently.

Chen Xuan was repeatedly forced back by this powerful impact. He widened his eyes, watching the scene with an anxious expression, wanting to rush forward to stop them, but was blocked by the violent Immortal Qi, unable to get even a single inch closer.

Facing Luo Menglan’s move, Purple Spirit Goddess gritted her silver teeth, rapidly changing her hand seals. The light on the Purple Dragon’s body grew even stronger, its scales shimmering with dazzling purple light. It struggled to swing its body, shattering the surrounding Sword Qi.

Meanwhile, Luo Menglan looked at ease. She increased the output of her Immortal Qi, and the black Sword Qi surged out like a tide, endlessly, submerging the Purple Dragon.

"Stop! Don't fight anymore!" Chen Xuan cried out anxiously, but his voice seemed so small amidst the intense sounds of battle.

If this battle continued, he couldn't bear it, no matter who got hurt.

However, the two Fairies were already consumed by battle, completely deaf to Chen Xuan’s shouts.

Purple Spirit Goddess’s delicate body trembled, her clothes fluttering. She raised her Immortal Qi to its limit, and the Purple Dragon let out an earth-shattering roar, breaking free from the Sword Qi’s restraint, and lunged towards Luo Menglan again.

Luo Menglan was not to be outdone. The power of space around her surged wildly, completely distorting the surrounding space, forming a massive spatial vortex, attempting to swallow both the Purple Dragon and Purple Spirit Goddess.

Seeing the situation spiraling further out of control, the anxiety in Chen Xuan’s heart instantly transformed into anger. His aura surged wildly around him.

"Enough!"

He roared, and a powerful force erupted from his body, quickly condensing into a transparent protective shield in front of him.

This protective shield emitted a faint golden light, blocking all the rampant Immortal Qi around it.

Chen Xuan, shielded by the barrier, slowly and laboriously advanced towards the center of the battlefield.

With every step he took, it felt as if he carried a thousand pounds of force, and the ground beneath his feet cracked.

Purple Spirit Goddess and Luo Menglan were locked in a fierce battle when they suddenly sensed this familiar Qi. Both were startled and instinctively turned their heads to look.

They saw Chen Xuan approaching them with an angry expression, and the anger in his eyes made their hearts tremble.

"Chen Xuan, it's dangerous! Get out of here!" Purple Spirit Goddess exclaimed.

Luo Menglan’s expression also changed drastically, and she hastily tried to stop the spatial vortex.

However, the power of the spatial vortex and the Purple Dragon had already spiraled out of control, making it difficult to completely dissipate them immediately.

Chen Xuan, however, disregarded everything and charged directly into the chaotic battlefield.

Seeing this, Purple Spirit Goddess and Luo Menglan were greatly alarmed. Both simultaneously exerted all their strength, forcibly suppressing their Immortal Qi, and brought an end to the fierce confrontation.

As the Immortal Qi dissipated, the battlefield gradually returned to calm, but the palace was already a mess.

Chen Xuan stood between the two, his chest heaving violently, the anger in his eyes still not fading.

"What exactly are you doing?" His voice was low and angry: "For me, are you going to kill each other like this?"

Purple Spirit Goddess and Luo Menglan lowered their heads, like children who had done wrong, not daring to meet Chen Xuan’s eyes.

They had never seen Chen Xuan so angry, and their hearts were filled with guilt.

"Husband, we… we were wrong," Purple Spirit Goddess said first, her voice carrying a hint of a sob.

Luo Menglan also softly said, "Chen Xuan, I was too impulsive, I'm sorry."

Chen Xuan looked at the two, the anger in his heart gradually subsiding, but his expression remained serious.

"Since you know you were wrong, then you must accept the punishment of family rules. Both of you, you truly disappointed me today."

After speaking, he walked to Purple Spirit Goddess's side. Purple Spirit Goddess's delicate body trembled slightly, instinctively wanting to dodge, but then dared not move due to the guilt in her heart.

Chen Xuan's hand slowly rose, hovering in the air for a moment, as if accumulating some kind of power. Finally, with a "smack," it landed heavily on Purple Spirit Goddess's ( ).

Purple Spirit Goddess’s body stiffened abruptly, and a blush instantly spread across her face, from her earlobes all the way down to her neck. She never expected Chen Xuan to punish her in such a way. Both ashamed and indignant, the "tears" in her eyes almost welled up.

"Husband…" Purple Spirit Goddess whimpered, her voice as faint as a mosquito. This strike made her ( ) ache, and filled her with even more shame and embarrassment, wishing she could disappear.

Chen Xuan ignored Purple Spirit Goddess’s delicate complaint and turned to walk towards Luo Menglan.

Seeing Chen Xuan walking towards her, Luo Menglan was flustered. She bit her lower lip, closed her eyes tightly, looking like a docile girl ready to be slaughtered.

Chen Xuan’s hand rose again. This time, Luo Menglan’s body trembled slightly, and her heart rate accelerated sharply, almost leaping out of her throat.

"Smack!"

A similarly crisp sound, exceptionally loud in the quiet palace.

Luo Menglan felt a burning sensation on her ( ), and the temperature of her face instantly soared. She was both startled and ashamed, yet had nowhere to vent, so she could only bury her head lower, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Chen Xuan, you… how could you do this!" Luo Menglan’s voice trembled with shame and indignation. This form of punishment was simply too… advanced for her. She had never imagined she would be treated this way.

After delivering these two blows, the anger in Chen Xuan’s heart had mostly dissipated.

He looked at the two embarrassed women in front of him and said softly:

"I did this only to make you remember today’s lesson, so you won't do things you regret because of a moment's impulse. Both of you are incredibly important to me. I don't want to see either of you get hurt."

Purple Spirit Goddess and Luo Menglan felt a mix of emotions after hearing Chen Xuan’s words.

"Husband, we truly know we were wrong. This concubine just… just doesn't want to leave you, Husband!" Purple Spirit Goddess sobbed.

Luo Menglan also nodded slightly, softly echoing, "Chen Xuan, in the future… in the future, I won't be like this, but… I just want you to come back!"

At this point, tears welled up in her eyes too.
