18: A flash of cold light came first, and then a dragon rushed out!

As night fell, Ye Linger, her body heavy with exhaustion, slowly entered the Cold Moon Palace.

She gently pushed open the door, and the bright moonlight streamed in, casting her curvaceous figure in a long shadow.

"You're back. You handled today's matter very appropriately." A low, slightly indifferent voice suddenly came from the depths of the main hall.

In an instant, Ye Linger's beautiful eyes narrowed sharply. She hadn't sensed anyone's presence in the hall.

She immediately looked up and saw Xuan Tianchen sitting quietly in the center of the main hall, a difficult-to-describe calmness on his face.

"You actually tampered with this dagger!" Ye Linger's voice carried a hint of anger.

She fiercely threw the dagger, still stained with Ye Fan's blood, towards Xuan Tianchen.

The dagger cut a cold arc through the air, and finally, with a "clink," landed on the ground in front of Xuan Tianchen.

Seeing this, Xuan Tianchen's handsome face showed no emotional fluctuation, remaining as cold as ice.

As he slowly waved his hand, the dagger instantly transformed into a brilliant stream of light and, at an extremely fast speed, landed in his palm.

For a moment, he seemed to be in his own world, casually toying with the dagger, which still bore mottled bloodstains.

A short while later, he slightly tilted his head and let out a soft laugh, his laughter carrying an elusive meaning.

"That was just a small punishment This Imperial Son gave Ye Fan. Don't worry, Ye Fan is very resilient; he won't die!"

"Xuan Tianchen, I've already agreed to become your Dao Companion, so why are you still so relentlessly targeting Ye Fan?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Linger's emotions seemed agitated, and her voice unconsciously rose a few octaves.

Seeing her reaction, Xuan Tianchen then coldly snorted, "Please understand the situation. From beginning to end, it was Ye Fan who provoked This Imperial Son.

This Imperial Son not killing him on the spot already counts as showing him the utmost benevolence!"

"In any case, I have fulfilled my agreement, and I hope you will also keep your promise!" Ye Linger's face was flushed, her tone resolute.

"Of course!" Xuan Tianchen's expression was arrogant as he slowly stood up.

At this moment, Ye Linger frowned tightly and said in a tired, low voice, "I'm tired and need to rest. Please leave, Imperial Scion!"

"Miss Ye, saying that is a bit too formal. We are already engaged, so of course, we should be together!"

Xuan Tianchen took a step forward, his gaze fixed on Ye Linger's delicate body.

Seeing this, Ye Linger's body trembled involuntarily, and a flicker of anger and fear passed through her eyes.

"But we haven't even gotten married yet! It's truly improper for an unmarried man and woman to be alone in a room!"

"Enough nonsense!" Xuan Tianchen coldly shouted, his aura suddenly erupting.

Immediately after, a powerful and domineering force instantly filled the entire hall.

Xuan Tianchen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he directly reached out to grab her.

In an instant, a powerful suction force swept forth.

Like an invisible giant hand, it instantly brought Ye Linger before Xuan Tianchen.

"What do you want to do?"

Fear appeared on Ye Linger's face, and her voice began to tremble.

"Hehehe, what do I want to do? Naturally, I want to have a good, in-depth discussion and explore life with Miss Ye!"

Xuan Tianchen's lips curved slightly upwards, his smile carrying a hint of wickedness and wantonness.

"How dare you be so frivolous and disrespectful to me in my Ye family? Aren't you afraid my father will punish you?"

As she spoke, tears welled up in Ye Linger's beautiful eyes, as if they could spill out at any moment.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Tianchen then laughed deeply, "Hahaha, I am the son of the immortal emperor! I ask you, in the entire Three Thousand Worlds and the Heavens above, who dares to punish me?"

His arrogant laughter echoed through the Cold Moon Palace, causing the surrounding space to tremble slightly.

Xuan Tianchen lifted Ye Linger's delicate body in his arms and then slowly walked towards her boudoir.

At this moment, Ye Linger, her immortal power restricted, could only struggle desperately, shouting loudly, "Help! Someone, please help!"

However, her voice seemed to be swallowed by the room, like a stone sinking into the sea, not a trace of it escaping.

There was only one reason for all of this: the entire Cold Moon Palace had already been sealed by a powerful restriction set by Elder Yan.

Xuan Tianchen looked down at Ye Linger in his arms, the corners of his mouth curving slightly into a wicked, charming smile.

"Hehehe, stop your futile struggles. Even if you scream until your throat breaks, no one will come!"

His voice was low and hoarse, carrying a hint of mockery and triumph.

Upon hearing this, Ye Linger's face grew even paler.

She bit her lip tightly, her eyes filled with despair and anger.

She never imagined that she would fall into such a predicament.

"Xuan Tianchen, I hate you!"

Finally, Ye Linger couldn't help but let out an angry roar, her voice filled with grief and unwillingness.

However, this roar changed nothing; instead, it made Xuan Tianchen laugh even more wildly.

He gently stroked Ye Linger's face, his tone laced with sarcasm: "Hate me? Later, when you experience the greatest pleasure of your life, you might even fall in love with me!"

Saying that, he looked down at Ye Linger and directly used the famous Huashan Dragon Claw Hand!

In Xuan Tianchen's opinion, though a forced melon might not be sweet, the key was that it quenched his thirst!

He didn't care whether Ye Linger was willing or not; as long as he could obtain her body and satisfy his desires, that was enough.

At this moment, Ye Linger's heart was filled with fear and despair.

She knew what kind of fate awaited her if no one came to save her.

Two lines of crystal-clear tears gushed from Ye Linger's beautiful eyes, slowly sliding down her cheeks.

Her eyes revealed endless sorrow and helplessness, her pitiful appearance making people feel a pang of pity.

Not long after, Xuan Tianchen carried Ye Linger to her boudoir.

At this moment, Ye Linger, unable to call out to heaven or earth, her tears instantly gushed forth like a broken dam.

She struggled desperately, crying out in a mournful voice, "No! Please, let me go!"

However, Xuan Tianchen remained completely unmoved.

With a wave of his hand, he instantly revealed her true appearance.

Everything that should be there, was there, and it wasn't small!

Under Ye Linger's desperate gaze, Xuan Tianchen directly struck, a cold gleam arriving first, then rushing out like a dragon!

Ye Linger felt an immense sense of humiliation and fear; her eyes were filled with hatred and despair towards Xuan Tianchen.

But this, in turn, gave Xuan Tianchen an ineffable feeling of delight.

Although sincerity might not beget sincerity, speed could certainly bring forth a delightful sound of wind.

Under Xuan Tianchen's dragon-like thrust, Ye Linger's heart sank into an icy abyss.

Her beautiful fantasies of love were completely shattered at this moment.

She felt as if her soul was being torn apart, swallowed by endless darkness.

The next morning... When everything was over, Ye Linger lay on the bed like a lifeless puppet, motionless.

Xuan Tianchen, filled with satisfaction and pleasure, left the room without looking back... Inside the Ye family patriarch's main hall, Ye Nantian's deep eyes had been fixed on the direction of the Cold Moon Palace.

"Ling'er, your father has failed you!"

At this moment, Ye Nantian's face seemed to have aged considerably.

As a Quasi-Emperor Expert, how could Ye Nantian not know about Xuan Tianchen staying in the Cold Moon Palace last night?

But with the Tinder Plan not yet implemented, for the sake of the Ye family members and Ling'er's safety,

As a father, he could only watch his daughter fall into a fiery pit.

"Xuan Tianchen, if you do not treat Ling'er well in the future, even if it means fighting to the death, this old man will surely kill you!" Ye Nantian's eyes hardened with murderous intent as he said in a deep voice.
