Yao Yue, I'm Counting on You!

That kick had come far too suddenly!

Chen Xuan was utterly stunned...

"Ah!"

Bai Bingyan suddenly came to her senses as well. With a soft cry, she hurriedly pulled free.

Panic was impossible to hide in her clear, icy beautiful eyes...

Had her attempt at taming him failed just like that?

Bai Bingyan was somewhat unwilling to accept it!

So, she simply raised the jade foot she had pulled away!

"Plop!"

Her fair, jade-like little foot landed directly on Chen Xuan's right shoulder, making his body stagger as he crouched even lower.

Looking down at him from on high like this, Bai Bingyan finally felt much better!

She crossed her arms over her chest and struck a proud, haughty pose.

"Husband, do you submit?"

Her voice was utterly icy, carrying the haughty charm of someone looking down from above!

It descended from the heavens!

At that moment, Bai Bingyan seemed to have suddenly regained the bearing she usually possessed as the Seventh Princess.

When Chen Xuan heard this, the True Dragon Heart within him began to pound even more fiercely!

In a daze, he felt as though he were about to transform into a True Dragon, while Bai Bingyan's actions were a form of desecration and provocation.

"Roar!"

For some reason, Chen Xuan could not help letting out a deep dragon's roar.

The True Dragon Heart in his body beat wildly, surging with an indescribably noble power. It actually jolted Bai Bingyan away!

"Whew!..."

Chen Xuan remained prone on the ground, but he suddenly raised his head!

The next second.

"???"

Chen Xuan's expression suddenly froze, and his eyes happened to...

The first glance was instinct!

Not taking a second glance was what made a gentleman!

In order to preserve his image as a gentleman, Chen Xuan did not even blink!

"Eek!!!..."

Bai Bingyan froze, then came to her senses as well.

Her jade-like hands swiftly pressed down her skirt, while that breathtakingly beautiful face of hers...

Quickly flushed with embarrassment!

She panicked!

What woman would not react this way after nearly being desecrated by a man's gaze?

Only then did Chen Xuan recover from his dazed state, feeling immensely awkward.

"Wife, I didn't mean to look!"

"Shut up!"

Bai Bingyan rebuked him shyly, and her stunning face turned even redder.

She ground her pearly white teeth together, looking as though she wanted to kill Chen Xuan...

But in his eyes, she was merely adorably fierce, with hardly any real menace!

"Don't you dare tell anyone about this! Otherwise, I'll kill you!" Bai Bingyan said in furious embarrassment.

The moment she thought of what had just happened, her mind became such a mess that she wanted to go mad!

This would definitely become her inner demon!

"I'm your husband. I have the right to look! If you want to train me into a useless wretch who fears you and kneels at your feet, then you're dreaming!"

"I, Chen Xuan, am a real man!"

Chen Xuan spoke coldly, his pupils utterly indifferent!

At that moment, the True Dragon Heart within him beat rapidly, and an incomparably proud, overbearing aura filled his chest.

"Hm?"

When Bai Bingyan caught sight of Chen Xuan's expression, her heart trembled.

The next moment.

Chen Xuan actually advanced toward her domineeringly, his voice leaving no room for doubt.

"I am your husband, the only man you will ever have in this life! You may trample every man in the world beneath your feet! But... I am the sole exception!"

After he said that...

Bai Bingyan was intimidated.

So much so that even after Chen Xuan flipped her over, she still had not reacted.

A moment later.

The two people in the secret chamber...

"Bastard! You..."

"..."

Just as Chen Xuan was immersed in bliss and unable to pull himself free.

Inside Vast Hall of the Vast Sword Sect, the atmosphere was incomparably grave!

"Bang!"

Li Yinglian slammed his palm heavily against the throne and abruptly rose to his feet.

His expression was incomparably grim!

The elders and core disciples of the Vast Sword Sect present all chose silence... not a sound could be heard.

"Usually, every last one of you boasts that you would brave fire and water, bend over backward, for the sect! And now?"

"I asked you to contribute the Spirit Stones on your persons to help the Vast Sword Sect through this crisis, yet you only scraped together a little over three thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones? That is not even a drop in the bucket!"

"The Mountain Protecting Array must be restored before nightfall. Otherwise, it will not merely be a matter of the Vast Sword Sect losing all face. Our sect may face a great plunder by the demonic path!"

"Which sect does not have a few demonic brats hidden within it? We need at least three hundred thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones to restore the Mountain Protecting Array! And it must be restored before nightfall!"

"Wushuang's injuries are extremely severe. Activating the Life Creation Ancient Array to heal him will also require one hundred thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones..."

"The Apprentice Ceremony is imminent, and this matter absolutely cannot be delayed!"

Li Yinglian spoke in exasperation, pacing back and forth!

Below the platform, Ji Yaoyue stood there, her gaze resentful and furious.

That unfilial disciple!!!

I, his master, have already begged him. What more does he want?

Huh???

He is utterly outrageous!

Below the platform, Elder Red Beard's face darkened as he shouted, "Sect Master! Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures! Since Chen Xuan is so selfish and self-serving, we can only seize the Panlong Treasure Ring by force!"

"So what if the fellow cultivators of the Nine Sects Thirteen Schools are present? At most, the sect will lose some face! They will not be able to stop us!"

At these words, everyone nodded in agreement.

But Li Yinglian shook his head and said gravely, "Unless we have no other choice, we cannot take this step! Otherwise, it will become a stain upon our sect!"

"With the Apprentice Ceremony imminent, Wushuang absolutely cannot have any stain upon him..."

There was a vast difference between Chen Xuan willingly offering up Spirit Stones and having them forcibly seized from him!

Then, suppressing his anger, Li Yinglian said, "Yao Yue, recount in detail everything that happened when you went to find Chen Xuan! Do not leave out a single detail, nor embellish anything!"

"This... alright!"

Ji Yaoyue hesitated for a moment before beginning her account.

She felt both ashamed and furious inside!

The matter of the Erotic Picture truly damaged her image as an icy fairy.

Sure enough!

After Ji Yaoyue recounted everything in detail, the entire hall erupted in an uproar!

Elder Ji was known as the lofty, icy fairy, pure and spotless... no one dared imagine the scene of her looking at an Erotic Picture!

Tsk, tsk...

Had Saint Son Chen, who once rose like a blazing sun and crushed all peers of his generation beneath him, fallen so low as well?

Though it was not surprising.

Although Chen Xuan was a cripple, he was still a man with needs...

Given his suicidal conduct of opposing Ji Yaoyue, even the ugliest female servant disciple would be unwilling to have anything to do with him, right?

This man would amount to nothing for the rest of his life.

He could only look at Erotic Pictures. He would never again taste the delights of a woman.

"So that was it..."

Li Yinglian came to a sudden realization and fell into thought.

Then, he said coldly, "Yao Yue, in two hours, personally go and invite Chen Xuan here... even if you have to apologize, bring him here!"

"You are master and disciple, after all... Whether you can make Chen Xuan willingly bring out one million Spirit Stones depends on you!"
