Two glowing-red swords were laid before her.
Qian Renxue's cheeks instantly flushed crimson with shame and indignation!
"A warrior may be killed but not humiliated! I am a noble and holy angel! Absolutely not."
Her birth was incomparably noble.
How could she endure such defilement?
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!
The red-hot swords crackled with heat.
They jolted her out of her numbness!
"I want yours."
She still yielded.
Endure the humiliation and wait for someone to save her, or escape somehow—those were her only thoughts for now.
She was the heir of the Angel God. Her future was limitless; she could not die, nor did she want to die!
As long as she survived, she would still have a chance!
What did a little humiliation matter?
Had she not relied on enduring what ordinary people could not endure to hide in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace for all these years?
"Are you unhappy? I'm very dissatisfied with your attitude!" Xue Luochuan sneered wickedly.
Qian Renxue froze slightly, tears nearly spilling from her eyes.
She wanted to cry, but she could not.
She blinked and forcibly swallowed back her tears.
Then she squeezed out a fawning smile.
She had to smile.
She had to cater to every one of Xue Luochuan's unreasonable demands.
Otherwise, those red-hot iron swords would be branded onto her fair, soft skin!
"I am guilty. I am a sinner guilty of every evil. Please punish this sinner, Your Majesty. Ravage me as you please, whip me."
Suppressing her nausea, Qian Renxue stuck out her pink tongue and forced a lewd expression onto her face with a smile.
Then she parted her enticing, sensual little mouth and threw herself at him.
Xue Luochuan vented recklessly upon Qian Renxue's body for the entire night.
He released all the hatred he had accumulated over so many years!
The pleasure of finally avenging his great grievance, together with this utterly perfect experience,
left him feeling indescribably refreshed!
Even after staying awake all night, he remained full of energy—indeed, even more vigorous than before!
"Wonderful!"
Xue Luochuan let out a long breath, dressed himself, and stepped down from the dragon bed.
After crossing over to this world for so many years, today had been the most satisfying day of his life!
"Don't be in such a hurry. What lies between us will not end so easily."
His cold, narrow eyes glanced at the beauty on the bed.
Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes had rolled white. Her entire body was covered in wounds and a terrible mess as she convulsed spasmodically.
She had fallen from the holiest of angels into the lowliest female slave.
This day was only the beginning.
The life-and-death assassinations of so many years could not be settled so easily.
Endless torment still awaited Qian Renxue.
After Xue Luochuan left,
Qian Renxue finally raised her pale, lovely face weakly and looked out the window.
"Grandfather... save me. If you do not save me soon, I may never be able to return."
Two clear tears slid from the beautiful crescent-shaped corners of her eyes.
She did not know how much longer she could endure.
Yet she still clung to that last shred of hope.
She believed that as long as she stayed alive, Spirit Hall could rescue her!
Meanwhile, the continent was shocked by Chang'an Empire's military achievement.
News that the Chang'an Empire had defeated thirty thousand troops with two thousand men and captured Heaven Dou's crown prince, Xue Qinghe, quickly spread throughout the continent's various factions.
Countless neighboring small states saw the Tian Dou Empire's crisis and took the opportunity to mobilize their troops, ready at any moment to attack its borders!
The two hundred thousand troops stationed along the Xing Luo border were also growing restless!
For a time, the Tian Dou Empire's borders were fraught with tension!
The entire Tian Dou Empire was gripped by panic, yet its people were also fired up with outrage, cursing Chang'an Empire's secession in unison!
Heaven Dou Imperial City.
The moment Emperor Xue Ye received the battle report, his entire body began trembling uncontrollably.
Though it was the hottest part of summer, he felt ice-cold all over!
Confusion, fury, and fear flashed across his face at once.
When he saw that Xue Qinghe had been captured, he erupted completely!
Holding the battle report in one hand, he pointed at the ministers in the hall and roared madly:
"How is this possible? How could this be possible?"
"A Titled Douluo? Where did this Titled Douluo come from?"
"My thirty-thousand-strong army was utterly defeated! Xue Qinghe was captured alive!"
"The four surrounding cities surrendered without a fight, one city was breached, and within mere days, we have lost another five cities in succession!"
"The surrounding small states are fully armed, and the Xing Luo Grand Army is pressing against our borders. Is our Tian Dou Empire about to be destroyed?"
He was so agitated that even his voice trembled!
"Could it be that Xue Luochuan had colluded with the Xing Luo Empire from the very beginning? That would explain why he has such a powerful expert guarding him. Perhaps it is a hidden expert of the Xing Luo Empire."
Prince Xue Xing boldly speculated.
"You mean my son is colluding with the enemy too?" Emperor Xue Ye laughed in fury!
It was utterly absurd!
The officials in the hall lowered their heads and remained silent.
Like Emperor Xue Ye, they were filled with anger and frustration.
They had originally believed this would be a rebellion suppression campaign with no suspense at all, yet the result had exceeded everyone's expectations!
One of Xue Luochuan's subordinates was actually a Titled Douluo!
There were only a handful of Titled Douluo within the Tian Dou Empire.
Yu Yuanzhen of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Jian Chenxin and Gu Rong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, as well as Dugu Bo, who was on very close terms with Prince Xue Xing.
When the war broke out, all of them had been staying obediently at home.
And yet,
three Titled Douluo had appeared on the Chang'an battlefield at once!
Such terrifying beings had appeared within the Tian Dou Empire.
How could Emperor Xue Ye not be furious?
Most crucially, the thirty-thousand-strong army had suffered a crushing defeat, the crown prince had been captured, and his fate was unknown.
The Tian Dou Empire had lost all face!
After his initial fury,
Emperor Xue Ye sat back down, supporting his forehead with one hand as he began to reassess this opponent.
The former Second Prince, now Emperor of Chang'an, Xue Luochuan!
"Xue Luochuan, that rebellious son! He actually dared defy me!"
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he slammed his fist hard onto the table before him.
Previously, he had felt only anger toward Xue Luochuan's rebellion.
Now, he began to feel a trace of fear.
"Where did he get a Titled Douluo to guard him?"
Emperor Xue Ye asked everyone.
Titled Douluo were the most powerful soul masters in the Douluo world.
A single Titled Douluo was enough to establish a sect!
The famed Upper Three Sects,
possessed such prestige precisely because they had Titled Douluo!
A powerhouse like that could not possibly have left no trace at all!
The officials shook their heads.
They were even more puzzled than Emperor Xue Ye!
Holding the battle report, Emperor Xue Ye read aloud:
"Two Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall once acted to rescue Xue Qinghe. Why?"
"Also, the report states that Xue Luochuan's general had originally only been at Soul Douluo level, yet with Xue Luochuan's help, he advanced to Titled Douluo. That was how he fought two opponents alone and captured Xue Qinghe alive."
"What is going on here?"
This battle was far too strange. Too many unexpected things had suddenly emerged!
All these doubts left Emperor Xue Ye increasingly unable to make sense of it.
He only felt that Xue Luochuan was becoming more and more unfathomable.
After Emperor Xue Ye fell silent,
the hall became so quiet that a pin dropping could be heard.
After a long while,
Emperor Xue Ye finally let out a heavy sigh, set down the battle report, and looked directly at the officials.
"The Spy reports that the enemy is very powerful—a level ninety-one Titled Douluo. His sword qi can kill every being below Soul Saint level."
"Is anyone willing to lead troops and suppress the rebellion once more?"
All the generals were terrified and uneasy. One by one, they lowered their heads, not daring even to breathe loudly!
They looked exactly like students afraid of being called on in class.
In such a situation, no one dared speak.
Moreover, they had truly been frightened by Xue Luochuan's achievements.
All seven Soul Saints had been slain, and the commander had been captured!
The officials who had once looked down on Xue Luochuan no longer dared rashly volunteer to lead an army into battle.
They were even afraid Emperor Xue Ye would call their names!
After all, no one wanted to face a Titled Douluo!
