Chapter 1356: The Immortal King is Trash
The gigantic griffon disappeared into the sky and started flying toward the Immortal King Palace.
Yang Lingqian anxiously sat in a chair within the exquisitely decorated house.
The Immortal King’s envoy appeared especially carefree and relaxed as he sat beside her and looked her up and down.
“You’re very beautiful, and your cultivation apt.i.tude is also fairly good. If you become the Immortal King’s concubine, you might even be able to slowly climb up the ranks to become an Immortal Concubine. At that time, you will have truly reached the sky in a single step.” The Immortal King’s envoy nodded in satisfaction.
Yang Lingqian pursed her lips and forced a smile. “Thank you for your praise, Immortal King’s envoy. I’ll definitely try my best.”
“M-hm, very well.” The male retrieved a wine gla.s.s with sparkling white liquid from his storage ring. He held it toward Yang Lingqian and explained, “This is a gla.s.s of Wind Spirit Divine Wood Wine. It has the special effects of beautifying one’s appearance as well as increasing one’s vitality. Here, have a taste.”
Yang Lingqian hesitated for a moment before eventually deciding to accept the wine gla.s.s.
She didn’t dare to disrespect the Immortal King’s envoy, thus she decided to accept the wine gla.s.s and take a small sip. The wine tasted pure and refres.h.i.+ng. It immediately fused into her body and even gave off a faint alcoholic fragrance.
“How’s the taste?” the male asked.
“It’s delicious,” Yang Lingqian nodded in approval.
However, she suddenly found that her body was starting to become limp and powerless. It was as if her meridians had been blocked by some peculiar power. At the same time, her body also started to heat up.
“You… What did you put in the drink?!” Yang Lingqian’s eyes widened in shock as she stared at the male sitting beside her. A sense of dread welled up in her heart.
“Heh, I fed you a medicine that will make you become extremely l.u.s.tful.” The male stood up, and his expression was completely different from before. His look of calm had been replaced with a look of thirst as his eyes swam over Yang Lingqian’s body.
Yang Lingqian understood his words. She stared at the male in disbelief and fury. “A-are you not afraid of the repercussions?”
The male spread his hands. “Why would I be afraid? Right now, you’re still the mere daughter of a city lord, not the Immortal King’s concubine.
“I’ll dispose of you after I’m done enjoying your body. When the time comes, I’ll just say that an accident occurred, and you died by the hands of mutant beasts. What can Yang Zheng do about it?”
Yang Lingqian shuddered upon hearing this. An expression of humiliation and despair fell across her pretty face.
“If you want to blame someone, then blame yourself for being too alluring…” The male’s lecherous gaze swam over Yang Lingqian’s slender body, her delicate face, and her teary eyes. He could barely contain his excitement.
“Of course, if you submit yourself to me and become my wife or concubine, I can also consider sparing your life…” The male licked his lips as he slowly walked toward Yang Lingqian. “I’m also reluctant to kill such a s.e.xy creature after enjoying it only once…”
“D-don’t come over!” Yang Lingqian’s breathing was labored due to the effects of the medicine. In fact, her entire body was limp, and she didn’t even have the ability to cast spell techniques. Tears involuntarily trickled down her cheeks.
Suddenly, she pulled a dagger from her belt and stabbed it toward her own heart.
The male immediately waved his hand toward the void when he saw this. There was a loud clank, and the dagger fell to the floor after being struck by some mysterious force. Yang Lingqian also collapsed to the floor due to the force of the strike.
“Wowee! You were dressed so seductively, yet you’re actually going this far to protect your chast.i.ty…” The male became even more aroused upon seeing this, and he reached a hand toward the female on the floor.
Right at this moment, a gentle breeze blew over.
Everything fell silent.
The male suddenly discovered that he had been restrained by some peculiar power.
“Who’s there?!” The male’s expression changed drastically. “Show yourself!”
A handsome, white-robed male suddenly materialized beside the Immortal King’s envoy. There was a look of exasperation in his face. “b.l.o.o.d.y h.e.l.l,” he grumbled while shaking his head. “I merely wanted to hitch a ride to the Immortal King Palace. Why are you forcing me to witness this?”
Yang Lingqian’s pupils contracted upon seeing this white-robed male. “Y-You… You’re Exalted Immortal An Lin!” There was a hint of delight in her shocked voice.
“Exalted immortal?” The expression on the envoy’s face also changed upon hearing this.
During ancient periods, exalted immortals were all rulers of their own kingdoms. Even today, they were still respected and revered figures.
When ordinary people saw exalted immortals, they would perhaps kneel and kowtow. However, members of the Immortal King Palace were exempt from having to perform this custom.
A ruthless expression flashed across the envoy’s face. “So what if you’re an exalted immortal? Open your eyes and look clearly! I’m the Immortal King’s envoy! I suggest you not stick your nose where it doesn’t belong. What are you still doing? Hurry up and kneel before me! Then get the f*ck out of here!”
Smack! Bam!
“Ahhh!”
The male’s anguished shriek was accompanied by two loud cracks.
The male’s kneecaps had been shattered, and he fell to his knees before An Lin.
“Who would’ve thought…” An Lin chuckled coldly. “A mere cultivator of the Spirit Nurturing Stage actually dares to act so wantonly before me, an exalted immortal of the Return to Void Stage.”
The male howled in pain as he kneeled on the floor, and his face was filled with an expression of hatred as he glared at An Lin. “Seeing the Immortal King’s envoy is like seeing the Immortal King himself. Yet you actually dared to injure me… The Immortal King definitely won’t forgive you!”
“Heh… Immortal King’s envoy? Even the Immortal King is nothing but trash in my eyes! Even if he doesn’t come looking for me, I plan to go looking for him! You dare order me around just because you’re an Immortal King’s envoy?”
Slap!
An Lin granted the Immortal King’s envoy another slap across the face. The ma.s.sive force of the strike caused the Immortal King’s envoy to vomit blood.
The male gritted his teeth as he clutched at his swollen face. “Every single Immortal King’s envoy represents the might and honor of the Immortal King. He’s already planted location-tracking seeds within our bodies. Once they discover your actions, you’ll definitely be tortured to death by the Immortal King… I suggest that you kowtow to me and apologize for your actions. That way—”
Before he could even finish speaking, he suddenly felt a burning sensation in his heart. Then, a burst of energy started ripping something from his heart. The next instant, a pitch-black fire seed appeared in An Lin’s hands.
“Oh? So this is the seed that Immortal King Feng Wuya planted? Interesting…” An Lin curiously inspected the flame on the seed that was flickering in his palm.
The male’s expression was as if he had seen a ghost. “How is this possible? This is the power of the Immortal King… You’re merely an exalted immortal! How were you able to detect and retrieve the fire seed within my body?!”
He had never come across such a situation before. He turned pale with fright, and a feeling of terror welled up in his heart.
“How is this not possible? I just retrieved it casually.” An Lin chuckled and said, “That’s right, you’re useless now. It’s time for you to die.”
The male wore a look of terror and despair. “No… you can’t…” he howled.
A burst of divine flame enveloped his body.
A tormented wail reverberated around the room as the male’s body was instantly incinerated into wisps of black smoke.
“Tsk, he’s merely small fry. I have no time to waste on such people.” An Lin shook his head and casually put out the black fire seed in his hand.
After doing all these, he was just about to turn around and help Yang Lingqian up.
Right after turning around, a red figure pounced toward him and pushed him down onto the floor. A warm and soft body held him down just like that.
An Lin’s eyes widened in surprise. However, he saw that Yang Lingqian’s breathing was labored, and her eyes were also misty and unfocused. Her attractive face was flushed red, making her appear especially enchanting.
“You—”
Before he could say anything else, Yang Lingqian lowered her head and pressed her dainty red lips onto his lips
