Chapter 1345: You Won’t Shed Tears Until You See the Coffin
The thing Jiang Yi hated the most in his entire life was when women plotted against him, especially if they were beautiful!
He did not know what happened or how he fell into such a deep sleep. However, he guessed as much that something was wrong with the Bodhi fruits. This woman managed to think of this plot while she was being taken hostage by him. If not for the Fire Spirit Pearl’s sudden burst of energy and protecting his soul spirit from falling apart, he would probably be dead by now.
He came all this way by sheer brute force. Jiang Yi would not blame anyone even if he was killed; if that happened, he could only say that he was not as scheming as others!
Yet, what he hated the most were these evil plots and schemes. Perhaps it was because he had been schemed against by Ji Tingyu and Xing Mengwan, that he felt a sudden surge of killing intent. Without caring much for anything else, he only thought of one thing at that moment: he wanted to kill Luo Qingyan.
Boom!
The tens of characters in Xiaozhuan followed Jiang Yi’s commands and slammed hard against the five pearls outside Luo Qingyan’s soul spirit. The pearls immediately brightened ten thousand times and then dimmed. The characters in Xiaozhuan, on the other hand, were completely unharmed. Just like that, Jiang Yi kept hitting the characters in Xiaozhuan against the pearls. The five golden pearls became dimmer and dimmer. They looked like they were going to explode before Jiang Yi’s eyes.
Luo Qingyan’s soul spirit was completely overwhelmed by the aura of the characters in Xiaozhuan. She felt like she was fighting a deity; she stood no chance whatsoever. She knew that her spiritual defense was going to fall apart at any moment. When that time came, her primordial spirit would surely not be able to withstand even one blow from Jiang Yi.
She could only exclaim in terror, “No! Jiang Yi, you cannot kill me! If you kill me, you will not be able to leave Blue Eagle Prefecture. Jiang Yi, I know I’ve made a mistake! I won’t do this again! Please, spare my life. As long as you keep me alive, I will do whatever you want me to.”
The smarter a person was, the more they feared death!
Luo Qingyan was born with a golden spoon in her mouth. She had never suffered or been wronged in her life. She was the number one among the young masters and young mistresses in Divine Eagle City. Countless gentlemen flocked to her like flies to a lamp. She was cold-blooded, smart, and very reputable in Blue Eagle Prefecture. Many men desired her. She loved the feeling of surpa.s.sing the ma.s.ses. She loved the feeling of scheming against countless people, playing them into the palms of her hands.
According to Lower-Domain time, she was only twenty years old. In the Higher Domain, she was just a little la.s.s. Of course, she did not think that she should die this way. She still had her whole life ahead of her. She still had to marry the grand-nephew of the Blue Eagle Prefecture’s Prefecture Lord. She had to live the life that countless other young ladies desired. What’s more, she still had to help her future husband become the new Prefecture Lord of Blue Eagle Prefecture.
Thus, she lowered her pride and admitted her fault to Jiang Yi of her own accord. She begged for mercy and even got off her high horse to say that she would do anything for him in return!
Boom!
The five pearls surrounding her soul spirit finally fell apart. At that moment, Jiang Yi hesitated. Luo Qingyan’s begging dragged him back to reality. If Luo Qingyan had not been begging for mercy but threatening him, he would have killed her in anger in an instant.
Swis.h.!.+
He stared slightly. Then, he flung the characters in Xiaozhuan toward Luo Qingyan’s soul spirit once more. There was a silent explosion. Luo Qingyan’s soul was gravely injured. Her face became a mask of pain as she rolled on the floor, writhing. Her cherry lips split open, and she cried out.
Jiang Yi opened his eyes and scanned Luo Qingyan, who was still rolling around in pain on the ground. To see this elegant, dignified young lady rolling around on the floor was enjoyable to him.
Finally, he summoned the characters in Xiaozhuan back into his own mind, leaving just one of them in Luo Qingyan’s. The miraculous thing was that the burst of energy from the Fire Spirit Pearl and the appearance of the sacred aura of these characters in Xiaozhuan had healing effects on Jiang Yi’s soul spirit. Just like that, his soul spirit did not feel so weak anymore. Of course, he was still a couple of hours away from recovering completely.
Pong-Pong!
Luo Qingyan continued to roll around on the ground. From time to time, she would knock into the side of the bed. Her hair was a mess, and the pink robes on her body rolled up as well, revealing her two fair thighs. This beauty was still writhing on the floor. The scene would be tempting to any man. As Jiang Yi watched her, he felt an evil desire grow in him.
He forced himself not to look at Luo Qingyan’s revealed body. He closed his eyes and calmed himself down, allowing his own soul spirit to recover. It was a full hour later that he finally opened his eyes again. Luo Qingyan had already recovered by now, but she still looked to be in pain as she sat up, panting.
“How did that taste? Do you want to try it again?”
Jiang Yi stood up and walked over to her. He stopped right in front of her and looked down. There was still one of his characters in Xiaozhuan left in Luo Qingyan’s spiritual consciousness. He could attack her at any time. As he spoke, he caused that character in Xiaozhuan to dance around Luo Qingyan’s spiritual consciousness. The character even missed Luo Qingyan’s soul spirit narrowly a couple of times.
Luo Qingyan was in so much fear that her entire face was drained of color. She quickly gave Jiang Yi a pitiful look and said, “No, no, Jiang Yi, I know my mistakes. I really do. Please, you are a magnanimous man; don’t hold my mistakes against this unimportant person. Let me off—just this once! I will not do it again. I will give you whatever you want. My father has a lot of wealth. I will ask him to give you a million divine roots or even ten million divine roots!”
“Keke!”
Jiang Yi bent over, held Luo Qingyan’s chin, and pulled it upward. He looked into her two eyes, which was filled with both shame and anger. “I don’t want divine roots, and I don’t want your treasures. I want… you!”
“Ah?”
Luo Qingyan’s entire body began to tremble again as she stiffened. She kept shaking her head, saying, “Jiang Yi, you really cannot do this! From a young age, I was promised to be married to the grand-nephew of the Blue Eagle Prefecture’s Prefecture Lord. If you take me, the Prefecture Lord of Blue Eagle Prefecture will hunt you down and kill you. You should know how strong the Prefecture Lord is, don’t you? If he hunts you down, you would not survive even if you escape Blue Eagle Prefecture. You can ask my father for more divine roots. With divine roots, you can have any woman you want.”
“Don’t get worked up. I’m not finished!”
Jiang Yi smiled mockingly. “I don’t want your body; I want your soul seed! You have two choices: die or become my spirit slave. The conditions are the same as before: once you help me get out of Blue Eagle Prefecture, I will return your freedom.”
An hour had already pa.s.sed, and Jiang Yi had calmed down completely. He could not kill Luo Qingyan yet. If he wanted to take revenge on her, he could make her suffer. If he killed her, he would really have no way out. If Luo Qingyan became his soul slave, he would be secured of a safe journey. After all, if he died, Luo Qingyan would not be able to survive either.
“My soul seed?”
Luo Qingyan’s eyelids fluttered, and a determined look crossed her face. Very confidently, she said, “No! The Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan has an ancient teaching. If any of us become someone else’s soul slave, we would be kicked out of the clan immediately. Even my father would not be able to help me then. There are heroes from the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan who die in battle, but no disciples who become others’ soul slaves.”
“You can’t do this, and you can’t do that!”
Jiang Yi waved his hand in anger. “Then what’s the point of keeping you? Why don’t you just die!”
In the heat of the moment, Jiang Yi was ready to risk it all once again. He started to steer the character in Xiaozhuan towards Luo Qingyan’s soul spirit once more, but at the final moment, Luo Qingyan suddenly shouted, “Stop! Jiang Yi, I can become your soul slave, but you must make a Heavenly Thearch Blood Oath that you will return my freedom the moment we get out of Blue Eagle Prefecture. Also, you must promise that you would not let anyone else know about this. Otherwise, I will not be able to remain in Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan.”
“Uh?”
Jiang Yi was slightly astonished. He overestimated Luo Qingyan’s backbone. His angry expression turned into a mocking one, as he caressed Luo Qingyan’s cheek with his hand. He laughed mirthlessly and said, “Luo Qingyan, you really have no backbone. A cheap woman like you won’t shed tears until you see the coffin!”
