Late at night, all was silent.
Chu Yun's door was slowly pushed open by a slender jade hand.
"Young master, I'm here."
Xiao Xia slowly stepped in through the doorway.
Chu Yun was sitting at the table. When he saw her, he smiled. "Xiao Xia, you're here."
"Close the door and come over."
Xiao Xia turned around, shut the door, and slowly walked toward Chu Yun.
As she approached, Chu Yun wrapped an arm around her waist and gave a hard tug. Spreading his right leg, he pulled her directly onto his thigh.
A flicker of anger passed through the Sky Demoness's eyes. Born lecher. Just wait and see how I deal with you later!
"Ah!"
"Your Highness, you're too strong. You're hurting me~" Xiao Xia said in a soft, coquettish voice.
Her goal was to make Chu Yun lower his guard completely.
With an uninhibited, delighted grin, Chu Yun said, "Hehehe, Xiao Xia, I couldn't tell before, but you've got quite a nice figure."
Mua!
Chu Yun suddenly planted a kiss on Xiao Xia's lips.
Caught off guard, the Sky Demoness's face rapidly heated up, and her temper flared as well.
Suppressing her inner discomfort, she still said coquettishly, "Your Highness, look at Xiao Xia's eyes. It seems like something got in them."
Chu Yun raised his gaze and looked into her eyes.
In an instant, their gazes met.
The Sky Demoness's soul-capturing demonic power flashed through her eyes at that moment.
Buzz! Buzz!
Chu Yun's body suddenly shuddered. The next moment, his eyes became unfocused, as though he had sunk into some illusion and lost all sense of himself.
"Hmph!"
"So this is all you amount to."
"I thought there was something special about you. Looks like I overestimated you."
Seeing Chu Yun's state, the Sky Demoness sneered coldly in disdain.
"Chu Yun, from today onward, I am your master."
"Now, break your own right hand. And your leg too—stab a sword into it."
The Sky Demoness was ready to settle the score.
Chu Yun had offended her so many times. She had endured it without exploding, but that did not mean she did not hold grudges.
On the contrary, if she did not hold grudges, she would never have paid such a tremendous price to inflict the Nirvana Curse on Meng Ruoxue.
"Yes, Master."
Chu Yun's voice was stiff. He placed his right hand on the table and raised his left hand high, preparing to break his own hand.
Whoosh!
Chu Yun's left hand came down. The Sky Demoness suddenly felt a sharp pinch in front of her chest. Her expression changed at once, and her fury soared to the heavens. "Chu Yun!!!"
Chu Yun leaped backward, several scraps of cloth still clutched in his left hand. He held them to his nose and took a sniff, his face full of enjoyment. "Different place, yet still the same scent... smells so good."
A surge of power gathered in the Sky Demoness's palm to shield her chest and cover the exposed parts. Killing intent was plain on her face as rage blazed sky-high. "Chu Yun, you were playing me?!"
"Hehe... what else?"
"I've been playing you ever since you gave me flowers during the day."
"Disguising yourself as Xiao Xia and deliberately getting close to me—did you really think those little tricks of yours were so clever?" Chu Yun rubbed his fingers together and chuckled.
"You shameless scum!!"
The Sky Demoness was so furious that her face had turned red. She had never expected that Chu Yun had been playing her from the very beginning.
In other words, he had seen through her disguise from the start!
"You! How exactly did you ignore my power?"
"You're merely at the initial stage of the Golden Core Realm. It's impossible for you not to be controlled by me!"
In her previous life, she had been a peak figure of the Emperor Realm. Even the Heavenly Mandate Empress had been deeply wary of her soul-capturing demonic power.
Looking across the world, no one dared boast that they could ignore her methods.
Yet today, she had actually stumbled on a mere brat.
She did not understand, nor could she comprehend it!
What exactly was going on? What sort of special method did this person possess, to remain unaffected by her soul-seizing demonic power?
"Nothing is impossible."
"Haven't you just seen it?"
Chu Yun smiled calmly.
"Hmph."
"Putting on airs. Xiao Yan or Chu Yun, it makes no difference. Today, I'll capture you first, then settle the score between us!"
A Shattering Realm aura suddenly erupted from within Xiao Xia's body, blasting Chu Yun away on the spot.
Yet what was astonishing was that just as Chu Yun's body crashed toward the wall, a force of lightning emerged behind him and caught him.
"Lightning Star Prison!"
"Suppress!"
In the blink of an eye, six chains of lightning lashed in from every direction, forming a six-pointed lightning prison around Xiao Xia and confining her within.
The Sky Demoness's expression shifted slightly. "Venerable Realm..."
"I truly underestimated you."
"To think there is a Venerable Realm guardian by your side!"
The Sky Demoness stared deeply ahead of her.
Venerable Wan Lei stood beside Chu Yun, lightning flashing wildly around him. Like a true god of thunder, he stood proud and unyielding.
Chu Yun smiled as he looked at her. "Now, can we have a proper conversation?"
His expression gradually turned solemn. "Speak. Who exactly are you? What is your purpose in trying to control me?"
Seeing his serious expression, the Sky Demoness said coldly, "Chu Yun, there are not many people in this world who can make me suffer a setback. You are someone worthy of note."
"But you are not qualified to know who I am."
"Let us make a deal."
"Release me. Otherwise, the fact that you are Xiao Yan will soon become known to everyone."
Chu Yun frowned. "Are you sure this is a deal, and not a threat?"
The Sky Demoness smiled calmly. "Do you have a choice?"
Chu Yun lifted his eyelids slightly, gazing at her with unfathomable eyes.
Chu Yun had roughly guessed why this woman knew he was Xiao Yan.
She had likely been following them ever since they left Misty Rain Pavilion.
That was why she could confirm his identity with such certainty.
And this threat of hers was indeed something Chu Yun had to consider carefully.
After all, once this news was exposed, the Eastern Palace banquet three days from now would truly become a banquet at Hongmen Gate.
Even if the Crown Prince knew it would provoke His Majesty's wrath and bring retaliation from the Shi Family.
If Chu Feng were in his position, he would still strike first!
"System, is there any way to deal with this woman?"
"Hey! System! Stop playing dead!"
"Answer me!"
Master, she is threatening you with her identity, so you can threaten her with hers as well.
Chu Yun: "Her identity?"
"What identity does she have? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
System: You didn't ask either. (¯︶¯)
Chu Yun: ...
"I, a great man, do not hold a petty person's faults against them. I won't stoop to your level!"
"Quick, tell me who she really is?!"
Her title is the Sky Demoness. Her real name is Yu Qingxin. She was once one of the supreme peak experts of the Origin World, an Emperor Realm powerhouse.
Because she fought the Heavenly Mandate Empress, who was likewise one of the Origin World's peak figures, over the extraterrestrial treasure Samsara Divine Pearl, the Samsara Divine Pearl split into two. The power within it scattered, causing the two of them to perish together."
At the same time, the two halves of the Samsara Divine Pearl fused into their souls, triggering the Six Paths of Reincarnation and carrying them into reincarnation to cultivate anew. Their memories naturally awakened when they were three years old.
