Doggish Lovers, You Both Must Die!

Watching the Demon Sect members flying toward him, Jiang Lin felt as if ten thousand grass-mud horses were galloping through his heart. Although he was also a member of the Demon Sect...

Just as the tip of the sword was three body-lengths from Jiang Lin, a sword aura suddenly plunged down from the heavens like a waterfall, cutting Jiang Lin off from those Demon Sect members—and conveniently blowing his hairstyle into disarray...

The woman stood with her sword in hand. Although her veil concealed her entire head, from that familiar figure and that familiar long sword, Jiang Lin recognized her as the girl he had molested that night... No, the girl whose tofu he had taken... Xiao Xueli.

Wait...

Since she had come to the Bewildering Secret Realm, that meant she definitely knew Jiang Yida was him! After all, that night he had used that Mask to save her, then transformed into the River Lord and wildly used his Q skill on her lips.

For a moment, cold sweat ran through Jiang Lin's mind...

"Miss Xiao, I..."

"Wait until I've killed these people. Then I'll listen to your excuses!"

The girl spoke coldly. In Jiang Lin's mind, [Notoriety Points from the protagonist Xiao Xueli +20+30+50...] continued to rise...

Although he was delighted to be raking in Notoriety Points, Jiang Lin felt extremely guilty inside.

As Sword Cultivators, every Sword Cultivator who entered the Cave Mansion Realm possessed a Natal Flying Sword of their own. These Natal Flying Swords were naturally nurtured, equivalent to a Sword Cultivator's exclusive identification card.

Xiao Xueli's Natal Flying Sword was called Pear Blossom. Its Sword Body was pale yellow and slender, resembling a delicate woman wearing a long pear-blossom dress. The patterns on the Sword Body were even like a woman's rouge and makeup.

"Flying Sword Pear Blossom? Xiao Xueli?"

Recognizing the long sword, one of the black men in the lead licked his lips.

"They say that Xiao Xueli, the Xiaoyao Sect's closed-door Direct Disciple, is a stunning beauty. Seeing her today, I can tell from her figure alone that the rumors are true! Xiao Xueli, hand over the One Dream Millennium Sword Manual, then spend a moment of spring breeze with this villain. I can report to headquarters that you've already died. Otherwise, where do you think you can escape to?"

"You cannot touch this man." Xiao Xueli answered a different question.

"Oh? Looks like little brother Jiang Lin did a fine job as a Flower-Picking Thief. He even managed to capture Miss Xiao's heart. But Xiao Xueli, even if we're in the same realm, do you think one person can fight seven of us?"

"Xiao Xueli! I'm telling you, not only will you be unable to protect yourself today, this Jiang Lin will also be raped to death by us! I want you to watch with your own eyes as the man you're trying to protect is raped to death! Brothers, attack!"

At his command, the elites of the Dugu Demonic Sect charged forward together.

The girl showed not the slightest hint of retreat in her eyes. She thrust out her sword, and the clash of weapons drifted slowly through the mountain forest.

The girl danced among the blades like a butterfly. With every movement, that slender sword was always able to stab toward the enemy's vital points.

The Dugu Demonic Sect members also used Seclusion Palm, Seclusion Fist, and Seclusion Sword. Although they could not effectively injure Xiao Xueli, there was no denying that these elite disciples of the Dugu Demonic Sect were truly formidable.

After a full quarter of an hour of combat, the two sides separated once more. Xiao Xueli still stood protectively before Jiang Lin, who was breaking through his realm with his eyes closed, while the opposing side had been reduced from seven people to only the leader.

Yet Jiang Lin could clearly feel Xiao Xueli's breathing growing heavier, while the opponent remained in perfect condition.

In fact, during the battle just now, the black-clad leader had merely been spectating from the sidelines. He had not participated in the fight at all.

It seemed he wanted to claim all the credit for taking down Xiao Xueli.

But it did not matter. Jiang Lin could already feel the Sea Gazing Realm right before him. It seemed his luck was excellent. As long as Miss Xiao held on for another quarter of an hour, he would definitely be able to break through.

[Ding... Detecting the host's current environment. Quest triggered.]

[Choice: 1. Xiao Xueli is currently completely defenseless against the host. Please repay kindness with treachery and stab Xiao Xueli in the back. 2. Kill and loot the black-clad man, humiliate the Dugu Demonic Sect, and trigger the long-term quest—Dog Eat Dog!]

[Quest Reward: 3,000 Notoriety Points, one box of Nine Flavor Rehmannia Pills (strengthens the kidneys and replenishes qi)]

[Please make your choice within three seconds. 3... 2...]

"System! I'm still breaking through!"

Just as Jiang Lin was about to break through, the system's voice once again appeared in his mind.

"Boom!"

A tremendous explosion echoed throughout the mountain forest.

"Pfft..."

Immediately afterward, Jiang Lin, who was behind Xiao Xueli, spat out a mouthful of old blood.

"Jiang Yida!"

Seeing Jiang Lin clutch his chest and force himself to his feet, Xiao Xueli's eyes were filled with shock, confusion, and a trace of anger...

"Miss Xiao..."

Blood leaked from the corner of Jiang Lin's mouth as he smiled. But in the very next second, Jiang Lin fell forward.

The girl lowered the long sword in her hand, lightly tapped the ground with her little feet, and flew forward, catching Jiang Lin in her arms.

"Do you know what you're doing? Why did you give up on breaking through? Do you know how much harm this will do to the foundation of your path?"

"Cough, cough, cough... I know..." Leaning against the girl's soft body, Jiang Lin spoke weakly. "But I know even better that I can't let Miss Xiao face danger."

"Idiot! You big idiot!" The girl's voice carried a faint sob.

"Perhaps that is indeed so." Jiang Lin gently tucked the girl's long hair behind her ear. "But to me, what so-called Sea Gazing Realm and what so-called foundation of the Great Dao are not even one ten-thousandth as important as the girl beside me."

"You... What are you saying..." Beneath the veil, the girl's pretty face flushed faintly.

"Miss Xiao..."

Jiang Lin took the girl's delicate, boneless hand. The girl's delicate body trembled when her hand was grasped, and the blush beneath her veil had already spread to the roots of her ears. She resisted for a moment, wanting to pull her hand free, but when she saw Jiang Lin's weak yet passionate gaze, she gave up resisting...

"Miss Xiao, perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, I'm a Flower-Picking Thief, but none of that matters! I only hope that in Miss Xiao's eyes, I'm just a Good Three Virtues Youth. I'm just... Jiang Yida..."

"Jiang Yida, stop talking and quickly protect your heart meridians." The girl shook her head, her voice seemingly choked with tears.

"No! Miss Xiao, hurry and leave! I would rather perish together with this bastard than exchange it for a lifetime of safety for you..."

Breaking free from the girl's warm embrace, Jiang Lin seemed to return to the light before death, forcefully drawing in a breath as he held his sword horizontally before him.

"No! Jiang Yida! I'm not leaving! If we leave, we'll leave together!"

"You leave!"

"I won't!"

"Go!"

"I'm not leaving!"

The black-clad man watched the scene before him and felt nothing but hot dog food smacking him in the face.

Why? They were all members of the Demon Sect, and he was even the elite among the elites of the Dugu Demonic Sect. So why could this bastard be so lovey-dovey with a girl? Was it just because he was more handsome than him?!

"I refuse to accept this!"

Suddenly, the black-clad man's clothes exploded away. His body expanded threefold, and his entire body turned green, like a giant green monster.

"You doggish lovers, you both must die!"
