The Prickly Xiong Jun! Gu Yuena's Punishment!

Chapter 46: The Stubborn Xiong Jun! Gu Yuena's Punishment!

Following the sound, the one who let out the cold snort was a tall, burly man with a square face and hair that shimmered with a dark golden luster.

His entire body was covered in knotted muscles that looked like small hills, and beneath that skin, a dark golden radiance seemed to flicker faintly.

There was no need to ask; it was none other than Xiong Jun!

"Xiong Jun, what is the meaning of this? Are you dissatisfied with the decision I just made?"

Looking at Xiong Jun, Gu Yuena's eyes flashed with icy coldness and a hint of anger as she asked coldly.

"Of course! My Lord, I do not believe Yao Xuan is worthy of being the Master of Soul Beasts alongside you. He does not have the qualifications!"

"Even if he truly possesses a portion of the Golden Dragon King bloodline, his strength is far too weak. I could crush him with a single finger!"

"I, Xiong Jun, will never serve a weakling in my life! Lord Silver Dragon King, please retract your command and think twice!"

Hearing Gu Yuena's words, Xiong Jun's large pupils flashed with dissatisfaction as he roared.

In his eyes, Yao Xuan was merely lucky to have an ancestral bloodline awakening, which was the only reason he had gained Gu Yuena's favor.

What reason was there for him to submit to a weakling whose cultivation hadn't even reached ten thousand years?

"Hmph, Xiong Jun, you are quite bold to dare defy my orders!"

Hearing Xiong Jun's words, a faint killing intent flashed in Gu Yuena's eyes, and a terrifying chill instantly erupted from her body, enveloping Xiong Jun!

The next moment, a layer of black mysterious ice appeared on the surface of Xiong Jun's body, spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye and imprisoning him within!

Trapped inside the ice, Xiong Jun struggled frantically, attempting to break free.

However, he discovered that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move at all, and even his Bloodline Power was sealed and inaccessible!

"My Lord, you... your injuries have recovered?"

Watching this scene, Di Tian's pupils flashed with excitement and anticipation as he hurriedly asked.

"Yes, my injuries have mostly recovered. Furthermore, with Yao Xuan here, my strength will return rapidly!"

Hearing Di Tian's words, Gu Yuena nodded, then looked at Xiong Jun, who was trapped in the ice with eyes full of unwillingness, and lightly flicked her jade fingers.

"Di Tian, come, tell me, how should I deal with Xiong Jun?"

With a dangerous smile on her face, Gu Yuena's cold and majestic voice echoed beside the Lake of Life.

"My Lord, Xiong Jun dared to provoke you and Lord Yao Xuan. According to the laws of our Soul Beast clan, he should be torn to pieces and fed to the dogs."

"However, our Soul Beast clan is currently withering. I beg you to give him a chance to redeem himself through service!"

Looking at Xiong Jun trapped in the ice, a flash of pity crossed Di Tian's eyes, and he ultimately spoke up to plead for him.

"Hmm, what you say makes sense! Yao Xuan, do you think I should kill this big guy to vent your anger?"

Hearing Di Tian's words, Gu Yuena nodded slightly, then looked at Yao Xuan and asked for his opinion in a soft voice.

"Na'er, thank you for your kindness, but I think it's better to spare his life."

"Isn't he unconvinced? Then, once my bloodline evolves again, I will beat him into submission with my own hands!"

"If you kill him now, how will I prove myself?"

Hearing Gu Yuena's words, Yao Xuan smiled slightly and replied.

The reason Yao Xuan did this was naturally not to prove himself.

It was simply that if Gu Yuena killed Xiong Jun, he wouldn't be able to devour the enemy since he hadn't hunted it himself.

If that happened, the bloodline of this nearly five-hundred-thousand-year-old fierce beast would be wasted for nothing!

It would be far more appropriate to wait until he was stronger, then personally slay Xiong Jun and devour him, turning him into fuel for his continued evolution!

"Well said, as expected of the husband I, Gu Yuena, have chosen!"

"Since you say so, I will spare his life today!"

"However, since he dared to offend me, while the death penalty is waived, he cannot escape punishment!"

Hearing Yao Xuan's words, Gu Yuena nodded slightly, her beautiful eyes flashing with appreciation, before she turned back to Xiong Jun and spoke indifferently.

As Gu Yuena's voice fell, sharp spikes suddenly appeared within the mysterious ice encasing Xiong Jun, stabbing directly into his body!

Although Xiong Jun's physique was incredibly powerful—harder than steel tempered a thousand times over—he had no resistance against the ice spikes conjured by Gu Yuena!

Puchi! Puchi!

Accompanied by a series of dull sounds, hundreds of spikes formed from mysterious ice pierced through Xiong Jun's body, and fresh red blood gushed out frantically!

Countless sinister, dark auras surged into his body through his wounds. In an instant, a look of extreme agony appeared in Xiong Jun's eyes, his eyes nearly popping out from the excruciating pain!

"Xiong Jun, this is just a warning. I hope you remember today's lesson; I will not give you a second chance!"

As her voice fell, Gu Yuena waved her jade hand, and the ice imprisoning Xiong Jun vanished. Xiong Jun's riddled body collapsed powerlessly to the ground, his blood staining the earth red.

"Yes... thank you, My Lord, for sparing my life. Xiong Jun will keep your command in his heart!"

Regaining his freedom, Xiong Jun gasped for air as he spoke intermittently.

At this moment, there was no longer any of the previous arrogance in Xiong Jun's eyes, only fear and submission.

Previously, the reason he had the confidence to question Gu Yuena was precisely because he believed that since Gu Yuena had awakened prematurely, she certainly had not recovered.

Even if he defied her orders, she would be unable to do anything to him, and he would not have to submit to a weakling like Yao Xuan.

However, Xiong Jun had never expected that after playing the "game" of mating with Yao Xuan, Gu Yuena's injuries had already healed by more than half.

Although she had not fully recovered and might still be unable to contend with a true god, she was still more than enough to deal with someone of Xiong Jun's caliber.

Just like that, Xiong Jun paid the price he deserved for his rebellious behavior.

"Hmm! Now, do you have any other objections to Yao Xuan and me both being the Master of Soul Beasts?"

Looking at Xiong Jun's submissive appearance, Gu Yuena nodded and asked coldly.

"This subordinate dares not! Greetings, Your Highness Yao Xuan!"

Hearing Gu Yuena's words, even though Xiong Jun felt ten thousand times reluctant, he dared not defy Gu Yuena's will to her face again. He looked at Yao Xuan unwillingly and spoke in a muffled, grumbling voice.

Although Xiong Jun hid it well.

However, it was not difficult for Yao Xuan to see a trace of hidden resentment and killing intent in his eyes!

Clearly, Gu Yuena's punishment had also made him hold a deep grudge against Yao Xuan!

Watching this scene, Yao Xuan could not help but sneer inwardly!
