131: Is this the end for you two?

Facing Chu Qianqian's questions filled with shame and indignation, and those eyes so red they looked ready to drip blood...

Lu Yi did not stop to explain anything.

He simply gave a wicked smirk and directly sealed her non-stop little mouth.

"Mmph—!"

All protests and angry curses were blocked back into her throat, turning into a string of broken whimpers.

At this moment, Chu Qianqian had only just regained control of her body.

Her spiritual energy was unstable, her Divine Soul was unsettled, and her mind was in a state of extreme chaos.

How could she be a match for Lu Yi, this long-premeditated, energetic "old wolf"?

Lu Yi did not hold back because of her awakening.

On the contrary, his offensive became even more uninhibited and fierce than before!

For he had discovered a fact that made him extremely excited.

Compared to the high-and-mighty version of her just now—who, while cooperative, always carried a sense of stiffness and coldness as if she were "granting a favor" or "completing a task"—

The current Chu Qianqian's reactions were far too real and green!

That heartfelt shame, the tremors born of sensitivity, the powerless struggle to push him away... this intense sense of contrast was like a potent drug, giving Lu Yi an unprecedented surge of stimulation and excitement.

"Since you're awake, then feel it properly!"

He thought to himself as his offensive fell like a violent storm, not giving her a single moment to catch her breath.

"Woo..."

Chu Qianqian had originally wanted to resist, to mobilize her spiritual energy and blast this bastard away.

But under the tsunami-like assault, her reason was shattered into pieces!

Shame, pleasure, terror, despair... all sorts of emotions intertwined, tangling her nerves like a mess of hemp.

They left her mind blank in an instant, utterly unable to think or gather even a shred of resistance.

She was like a small boat in a storm-tossed sea, liable to capsize at any moment.

However, just as the battle grew increasingly intense...

Crack—!

A crisp sound suddenly rang out.

The barrier that had been keeping the two of them suspended in mid-air shattered without warning.

That barrier had originally been maintained by a superb and exquisite Water-Control Technique.

Now, the control had shifted back to Chu Qianqian's original self, whose mind was in chaos and who knew nothing of this secret technique.

Coupled with the intensity of the battle, how could she have the energy to distract herself with controlling such complex spiritual structures?

The barrier collapsed instantly, turning into a sky full of crystal-clear water droplets that showered down.

"Not good!"

Seeing that the two were about to lose their support and fall into the Jade Pool below.

"Hmph!"

Lu Yi gave a cold snort.

While he didn't understand any exquisite Water-Control Techniques and had no leisure time for such delicate work...

He had plenty of strength!

"Open for me!"

With a thought, the incredibly thick Power of the Stars within his body suddenly erupted!

There were no fancy tricks, just a simple, crude release of spiritual energy!

Boom!

An invisible shockwave exploded outward with the two of them at the center, forcibly pushing away the surrounding pool water that was trying to rush in!

In the depths of the Jade Pool, he forcibly carved out a vacuum zone that, while ugly and not perfectly round, was absolutely solid and dry.

He forcibly maintained this small "battlefield" between them.

Deep within the mist, the sound of water surging intertwined with the sounds of battle... an unknown amount of time passed.

This intense "battle" finally came to an end as the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped.

Lu Yi let out a long breath and stood up, feeling refreshed.

He slowly and methodically straightened his somewhat messy collar, a satisfied smile hanging on his face.

It was as if the tireless, wolf-like beast from just a moment ago wasn't him at all.

He turned around and looked at the figure huddled in the corner of the spiritual energy barrier.

At this moment, Chu Qianqian's originally smooth long hair was wet and plastered against her face and neck.

Those beautiful eyes, which were usually as cold as frost and looked down on others, were now red and swollen like two peaches.

She glared deathly at Lu Yi.

Her gaze was filled with a killing intent so thick it wouldn't dissolve, shame, indignation, and... endless grievance.

It was as if she wanted to bite a piece of flesh right off Lu Yi's body.

"You... you animal!"

Her voice was hoarse, and she cursed with a sob.

However, faced with such a murderous gaze and accusation, Lu Yi didn't show the slightest hint of shame.

Instead, he spread his hands with an innocent look and said righteously:

"Hey, don't look at me like that. To be fair, you were the one who rushed up without a word just now. I'm the victim here, okay? I just... resisted a little bit out of necessity."

"You—!!"

Chu Qianqian was so angered by his shameless remarks that her whole body shook, and her finger trembled as she pointed at Lu Yi:

"Bastard! Shameless! Filthy!"

"You must have done something! Or that enchantress's Gu poison harmed me..."

"I... how could I possibly... to you... to you..."

However, as she cursed, her voice grew smaller and smaller, and her confidence waned.

Because although she had regained her body, her memories of the time her body was being controlled were not clear.

It was more like a blurry, fragmented, yet real "body memory."

In those fragmented images... she only remembered that "she" seemed to be very "proactive," very "domineering," and very "impatient."

Even that longing and the sensations were terrifyingly real!

"Could it be..."

Chu Qianqian's pupils began to tremble, and her heart sank into a collapsing state of self-doubt:

"Could it be that I was really driven mad by the Gu poison? Was I really the proactive one?"

"No... impossible... how could I be so shameless..."

"But those memories are so real... Was it that person who occupied my body? Or am I actually a... at my core?"

She felt like her head was a mess.

All sorts of terrifying conjectures brought her to the peak of shame, and she fell into a deep state of self-loathing.

The murderous Aura she had earlier instantly deflated by half, turning into a despair that made her want to find a hole to crawl into.

Just as the two were at a standstill and Chu Qianqian was on the verge of collapse.

Splash...

From within the mist, a light and familiar set of footsteps suddenly approached.

Both of their expressions changed simultaneously.

A moment later, a red figure parted the thick mist and slowly walked out.

The newcomer was none other than Chu Qianqian, who had stayed behind in the middle section to Cultivate because she "couldn't stand the pain of Body Tempering."

After this period of rest, combined with the Power of the Stars that Lu Yi had previously sent her.

The current Chu Qianqian looked rosy-cheeked and full of energy, clearly having recovered to her peak state.

She had obviously sensed the commotion here—or perhaps she had specifically timed her arrival to "catch them in the act."

As soon as she appeared, her face wore that signature playful smirk of someone who loved watching trouble unfold.

Her gaze first swept over her sister, who was disheveled, flushed, and shivering in the corner.

Tsk tsk, how tragic.

Then, she looked at Lu Yi, who stood to the side, looking satisfied and well-dressed.

Tsk tsk, what a scumbag.

Her gaze instantly became extremely suggestive and meaningful.

Chu Qianqian didn't show the slightest bit of surprise; instead, it was as if she had expected this all along.

She crossed her arms and leaned leisurely against a rock, breaking the awkward, deathly silence:

"It seems the battle was quite intense... Are you two done?"
