I, Ji Wushuang, Will Make You as Lowly as a Dog!

On a shaded forest path between the mountains, Chen Xuan strode as swiftly as if he were flying!

Though he had detonated his Golden Core and his strength had plummeted to rock bottom, the physique of his Nine Yang Battle Body remained. He was still more than a hundred times stronger than an ordinary person.

"Senior Brother Chen Xuan!"

A call came from afar. Soon after, a young man descended while riding a flying sword.

Chen Xuan froze for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Junior Brother Shi Lei, what is it?"

"You should still call me Little Stone, like before. Ever since something happened to you, I gathered more than twenty disciples who had received great kindness from you. We wanted to join our names together and help you!"

"But at the crucial moment, someone somehow leaked the secret, and we were all reprimanded and warned by our masters! Even on the day of your wedding, we weren't allowed to attend..."

Shi Lei lowered his head and explained awkwardly.

"It's fine! The thought alone is enough!"

Chen Xuan smiled brightly and patted Shi Lei on the shoulder.

At that moment, a faint warmth welled up in his heart...

Not long ago, Chen Xuan had wallowed in self-pity, believing that aside from Du Meng, everyone in the sect had long since abandoned him.

Yet there were still people who were grateful to him, admired him, and looked up to him!

Du Meng, Little Stone, and the others—those were the people he should cherish for the rest of his life, the people he should protect!

For some reason, Bai Bingyan's breathtakingly beautiful face surfaced in Chen Xuan's mind...

Hopefully, she too could become someone he needed to protect!

At that instant, Chen Xuan's Dao heart opened wide, and his thoughts became clear!

"We will repay Senior Brother's kindness without fail! Please rest assured of that!!!"

Shi Lei spoke firmly, his expression solemn!

Then he cautiously said, "Senior Brother Chen Xuan, as the saying goes, a common man is innocent, but possessing jade makes him guilty. You should learn to let go! Anyone with eyes can see through this framing and slander. But what about next time?"

"Be wary of certain people... when the map is unrolled, the dagger is revealed!"

At those words, a chill burst from Chen Xuan's eyes!

Naturally, he understood Little Stone's worries...

In everyone's eyes, he was nothing more than a cripple who could not let go of his former glory, who refused to give up the position of Saint Son, and who was unwilling to hand over his former treasures!

But who could know that in three days, his dantian would be healed, and he would soar to the heavens with the True Dragon Heart?

In truth, without the hope brought by the True Dragon Heart, Chen Xuan felt that he would have already bowed his head and admitted defeat, utterly reduced to the likes of a mud pig and lazy dog.

"Little Stone, thank you for the reminder!"

Chen Xuan smiled faintly, turned, and left, leaving behind only one sentence that echoed through the air.

"Those who treat me well, I treat well; those who treat me ill, I treat ill!"

Those eight words were precisely the way he had always conducted himself!

"Ah!..."

Shi Lei stomped his foot and sighed, his brow tightly furrowed.

In his eyes, Chen Xuan was still this stubborn... He was likely not far from death!

Within the Saintess Hall.

Ji Yaoyue's beautiful face was livid, and her body trembled uncontrollably!

Rage!

Uncontainable rage!

Today, in the Hall of Punishment, she had utterly lost face!

What enraged Ji Yaoyue even more was that Chen Xuan, who had always been taciturn, had suddenly become silver-tongued?

That wicked disciple deserved to die!

Ji Yaoyue recalled how she had felt guilty toward him before and suddenly felt as though she were simply sick in the head!

Such a rebellious wretch, one who defied his master and betrayed his ancestors, ought to be sliced into a thousand pieces!

Within the empty hall, only icy killing intent swept through the air, suffocating all who might feel it.

At a certain moment.

A graceful, jade-like figure entered. It was Ji Wushuang.

"Whoosh!..."

Ji Yaoyue formed a hand seal and activated the formation barrier to prevent anyone from spying on them.

"Mother, your son suspects that Chen Xuan has some backing, which is why he dares to be so arrogant!" Ji Wushuang said gravely.

Ji Yaoyue narrowed her long, beautiful eyes and said coldly, "You need not suspect it anymore... Before I made the wager with him, I secretly attacked in an attempt to kill that little beast! Yet I never expected him to have an extraordinary secret treasure on him that could automatically protect its master!"

"What? No wonder..."

Intense jealousy flashed through Ji Wushuang's eyes, and even his features twisted somewhat.

Then he said resentfully, "He is merely trash with a ruined dantian. No matter how many treasures he has, he cannot turn the tide against the wind. In the end, all of them can only belong to me!"

"On the day of the Apprentice Ceremony, Mu Yun Sanxian will choose me in the most dazzling manner possible, and I will inherit his mantle and legacy! Meanwhile, Chen Xuan can only be a cripple rotting in a mud pit, watching it all happen!"

"Exactly! Mother is looking forward to that day as well..."

Ji Yaoyue was delighted. Unable to help herself, she reached out and drew Ji Wushuang into her embrace, her beautiful eyes brimming with anticipation.

"Wushuang, what are your plans next?"

"Mother, I already have a brilliant plan in mind! Tomorrow, at my Saint Son Ceremony, Chen Xuan will lose all reputation! This time, I will definitely win back a round and nail him to the pillar of shame..."

Ji Wushuang smiled slyly, supremely confident.

Afterward, he left the Jade Maiden Great Hall. Riding a Golden Longsword, he shot toward Azure Wave Cave with a thunderous roar, like a great sun hanging in the sky.

Inside the cave.

Liu Ruyan was seated before her dressing table, adorning herself. Her figure was exquisitely curved, and her cool, fragile beauty was enough to make one's heart ache.

Hearing the movement, she turned around and smiled sweetly. "Wushuang! Did the Voice-Recording Pearl perform a great service?"

Ji Wushuang gave an embarrassed smile and said awkwardly, "Well... there was a slight hitch! But I have another good plan now, one that will surely ruin Chen Xuan's reputation!"

"What exactly happened?"

Liu Ruyan furrowed her delicate brows, and her peach-blossom face turned cold as well.

When Ji Wushuang roughly explained the whole matter... Liu Ruyan could no longer hold herself together!

She clenched her delicate fists, waves of stormy fury surging through her heart.

"Idiot! That fool Situ Yulong was not helping at all—he was clearly trying to utterly ruin the good name of me, Liu Ruyan!"

Only after a long while did Liu Ruyan forcibly suppress the rage in her heart.

She stared at Ji Wushuang and said coldly, "That matter you promised me... cannot be delayed any longer! Though it is dangerous, this is my only chance to wash away my humiliation and regain my reputation for purity!"

"Fine! I'll handle it as soon as possible!" Ji Wushuang hesitated for a moment before nodding painfully.

Then he requested three drops of Liu Ruyan's blood essence, saying they would be needed to frame Chen Xuan tomorrow.

"Fine!"

Liu Ruyan nodded readily, then forced out three drops of blood essence and handed them to him.

"Senior Sister Ru Yan, you've truly suffered these past few days from taking the False Death Pill. Give me a kiss!"

As Ji Wushuang spoke, he leaned closer...

But Liu Ruyan said irritably, "A kiss? You cannot even handle a piece of trash like Chen Xuan, and you still have the nerve to kiss me?"

"This..."

Ji Wushuang's mouth twitched, and all the desire in his heart turned into rage.

He was utterly stifled!

A frenzied roar erupted in his heart: Chen Xuan! Just you wait! Tomorrow, I, Ji Wushuang, will definitely make you utterly disgraced, as lowly as a dog!!!
