Looking at Yu Shang, who has transformed into a domineering CEO, Qin Yi finds it hard to imagine that just a few days ago she was tied to a stone pillar and left in that state.

But Qin Yi also knew that this was the kind of Yu Shang that others would consider normal.

The one you've personally experimented with is the exception.

I thought what was shattered was sanctity, but it also arrogance.

Qin Yi knew that Yu Shang could never be arrogant in front of him, because her most wretched and unspeakable side had already been revealed to him, so how could she maintain her pride?

Even if there are still some left, keep breaking them... otherwise this matter will be difficult to resolve.

He silently got up, went forward, and closed the door.

Yu Shang stood beside him and coldly asked, "Why did you close the door? Do you want to fight me again? Qin Yi, even if you win, it won't matter. You can't escape. I'll ask you one more time, you never..."

Qin Yi didn't answer, but suddenly reached out his hand.

As soon as Yu Shang entered, Qin Yi came over to close the door. The two were already standing very close to each other, talking on the spot. Qin Yi then reached out and put his arm around Yu Shang's waist.

Yu Shang stammered, "W-what are you doing?"

"Look, I didn't use any Martial Cultivation skills. I just reached out normally. With your strength, it would have been easy for you to dodge, but you didn't even think about it. That means you're very used to close contact with me. And..." Qin Yi hugged her and whispered in her ear, "You might be expecting it too."

Yu Shang struggled, "I... I wasn't expecting anything! I was just spacing out!"

That's a lie that no ghost could believe. It's one thing to be distracted and not avoid a sneak attack, but it's another to not even react to a simple outstretched hand. Even if she wasn't expecting anything, it at least proves that she had no resistance to Qin Yi's embrace.

Qin Yi's hand tightened slightly, and he said in a low voice, "You want me to agree to the marriage; that's our greatest expectation..."

Yu Shang paused for a moment, and her struggling strength diminished considerably.

Qin Yi continued, "Isn't this what we do after the marriage?"

Just as Yu Shang was about to retort, Qin Yi silenced her.

The Liusu scratched its head strangely inside the ring.

It knew that Qin Yi wanted to solve the problem, but it didn't quite understand the significance of this action.

Although Liusu often complained about Qin Yi's romantic entanglements, she knew that Qin Yi was not a lecherous person and there was no reason for him to be so greedy. Wouldn't this just make their relationship even more complicated? What problem would it solve?

After kissing for a long time, Qin Yi pulled away slightly, looking at Yu Shang's dazed eyes, and whispered, "You can't hide it from me... Let alone this level of intimacy, even if I wanted to tie you up like that day, you couldn't resist me... because you've accepted me in your heart."

Yu Shang was panting heavily. She pushed him away in shame and anger, opened the door and ran away without saying a word.

The winged female guards stared in disbelief as their Saintess ran off, her face flushed, still with drool on her lips...

Liusu asked Qin Yi curiously, "What are you doing?"

"We're doing a test."

"Test?"

"Hmm... she'll be back soon, let's try again."

Liusu:"..."

Qin Yi said that Yu Shang "couldn't resist," which was actually a way of saving face for her, without directly saying that she had tasted the sweetness and wanted to be with him.

But in fact, Qin Yi already knew very well. She might not have wanted to be humiliated, but she definitely had some expectations for intimacy; otherwise, she wouldn't have looked at the rope with such alluring eyes—when the other person was her Husband, that kind of humiliation was no longer humiliation, but rather she could feel "comfort"...

Qin Yi did not do as she wished, and she was very disappointed. Instead, she acted even more domineering and arrogant, maintaining her Saintess image.

The naive and inexperienced Saintess had almost all of Qin Yi's thoughts revealed to her.

I hadn't thought it through clearly at the moment, but after she left and Quiet Serenity down, I quickly understood everything. Thirteen years of romantic entanglements, countless battlegrounds—it wasn't all for nothing...

However, we cannot be completely certain, so testing is necessary.

Several hours later, it was dusk.

Yu Shang composed herself, thinking she had regained her composure, and barged into the guest room with a stern face.

After an incense stick had burned, the female guards stared blankly as the Saintess ran off again, her face flushed. Some of them even noticed red marks on Saintess neck.

Liusu looked at Qin Yi as if he were a god, while Qin Yi lay on the bed staring at the ceiling.

Nothing was said that night.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Yu Shang arrived again.

After an incense stick had burned, the female guards watched the Saintess leave, her clothes disheveled, their faces expressionless.

Qin Yi was also saying to Liusu, "Bang Bang, have you ever heard the story of the hunter hunting the bear...?"

Liusu hadn't heard of this before, nor did she want to. With a strange expression, she asked, "But... what problem does this solve? You didn't actually eat her, but your rope-tying skills have improved..."

The dog raised its hand. "I think he's doing this to practice his rope skills, oh, and his hand skills too. Do you only know how to use your hands?"

The girls' voices drifted in from outside, muttering intermittently, "Is the Saintess here to force him to obey, or... you know what?"

"My mother told me that this kind of thing usually takes all night, so why were they so quick, in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn?"

"Is it because this distinguished guest is all show and no substance?"

Liusu Su patted Qin Yi's shoulder with a sorrowful expression.

Its reputation is ruined, both internally and externally.

"..." Qin Yi rubbed his forehead, feeling embarrassed. "I'll have a good talk with her tonight."

That night.

With a stern face, Yu Shang kicked open Qin Yi's door under the watchful eyes of the female guards.

As soon as the door closed, the girls' view was blocked. Qin Yi stood in front of Yu Shang, and she subconsciously put her hands behind her back, as if she felt handcuffed.

She immediately came to her senses, then angrily released him, shouting, "Qin Yi, is this your method of constantly humiliating me?"

"Actually... I don't need to use any methods on you," Qin Yi said. "I'm just getting to know you."

Yu Shang was furious. "Are you trying to understand me?"

Liusu secretly thought that this was someone trying to figure out her sensitive spots...

Qin Yi shook his head. "I may appear to be under house arrest, but I'm actually not in any real predicament. Why would I harm someone who genuinely wants to marry me?"

Yu Shang said, "But I will make you divorce your wife. Isn't that what you're resisting?"

"Hmm..." Qin Yi asked, "You've accused me of starting something and then abandoning it, which shows you despise such things. So why did you force me to do it?"

Yu Shang said, "The Feathered People have always only accepted men who marry into their families; they've never accepted someone who brings an entire army with them!"

Qin Yi chuckled; the analogy was quite cute.

He thought for a moment, then said, "If I abandon my other wives, I'll treat you the same way sooner or later. Do you really want a Husband like that?"

Yu Shang remained silent for a long while before replying softly, "I will be watching you."

"So, did you end up with a prisoner you guard against day and night, or a loving husband?"

Yu Shang fell silent again, and after a long while, she resolutely said, "That is still obtaining it."

"After asking Yu Lan, I have a general idea," Qin Yi said. "This kind of custom of marrying into a family didn't exist in ancient times. Because dragons and phoenixes roamed everywhere in ancient times, and the bloodlines of the ancient human race were also very powerful. Not to mention being born with a musical heart, it was not uncommon to be born with the ability to soar through the clouds and shine in the sun. You didn't have any sense of superiority. That's why there were people who hid a Chu Rong somewhere, waiting for someone to accidentally acquire it. Later, this kind of thing became less common, simply because you now look down on other races. But in reality, you all long for this ancient romance."

Yu Shang raised her head slightly and said calmly, "You're right. But unfortunately, you're not..."

Qin Yi didn't argue with her about whether he had Ancient Bloodline or not. He smiled and said, "Chenghuang is my wife, Soaring Serpent is my sister. Their bloodlines are no less than yours, yet they are not as self-righteous as you."

Yu Shang was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed, "How is this possible!"

Liusu finally understood what Qin Yi had been doing from beginning to end.

His purpose was clear: to shatter her pride, both physically and mentally, from every angle and in every sense...

It completely forced her to fold her wings.

This is indeed the most accurate solution.
