A captivating fragrance wafted into Su Chen’s nose, delicate and lingering.
This kiss was forceful yet filled with tenderness, as if it could last until the end of time.
At that moment—
“Young man, wake up! This isn’t a reward—it’s the prelude to an unprecedented crisis!”
“You’ve been forcibly kissed by some unknown wild woman! You’re no longer pure, and you’re about to be done for!”
“The real trial of your life is this Asura battlefield. Struggle to survive, young man!”
The system seemed somewhat concerned for Su Chen’s safety, but it sounded more like it was gloating over his predicament.
“Uh…”
Su Chen, meanwhile, was utterly bewildered and confused.
Do I really look like someone who gets forcibly kissed so easily?
Sure, this fairy-like woman saved his life, but did that mean he had to pledge himself to her?
And to be kissed right at the start? This development was way too fast!
Even his Senior Sister hadn’t done this!!
However—
Wangqing Ge’s eyes remained calm, her crystal-clear, flawless gaze showing no ripple of emotion as she quietly admired his face.
This kiss signified the complete collapse of her Path of Forgetting Emotions.
But she had no regrets!
Because, from the start, her cultivation had only one purpose.
A truth she had always known but often dared not face.
She had thought that twenty years of cultivating detachment would make her indifferent, but the truth proved she had underestimated her longing.
The past me was too weak, foolishly choosing to let go. Now, I only want to say—
Senior Sister, your man tastes amazing.
It’s time to reclaim what’s mine!
Wangqing Ge gave Su Chen a deep look before turning her gaze to Ying Qingge in the sky.
“Ah! Ah! Ah!”
“Damn it!”
“I! Must! Get! Stronger!”
Even from within the sword formation, far away, Ying Qingge saw everything clearly!
Crystal clear!
She watched her Junior Brother get forcibly kissed, unable to resist.
Wangqing Ge, you vile ex, traveling ten thousand miles to take advantage of her Junior Brother!
This was intolerable!
She’d never wear that kind of humiliation—not when she could make others wear it instead!!
“Wangqing Ge, don’t even think about leaving the palace today!”
Fueled by rage, Ying Qingge finally broke through the sword formation’s restraints. But at that moment, Wangqing Ge moved again, reappearing in front of her.
“You—”
Before Ying Qingge could speak, Wangqing Ge said calmly,
“This place isn’t bad. It suits Dust’s growth.”
“He’ll stay with you for now.”
“I’ll come back to take him next time.”
Crunch!
Ying Qingge let out a cold snort.
“You shameless woman, have you forgotten what you said before?”
Wangqing Ge retorted naturally,
“I changed my mind. So what?”
“If you dare set foot in my Great Qin again without permission, you’re dead!”
Ying Qingge’s eyes were icy, her heart ablaze with fury.
Never had she felt such an intense desire to grow stronger than at this moment!
She firmly believed that if her cultivation progress reached her expectations, the next time Wangqing Ge showed up, she’d grind her into the dirt!
Wangqing Ge, however, was unfazed.
“Hmm, I’ll be waiting.”
“Waiting for the day you can stand up to us for Dust’s sake.”
Her light words left Ying Qingge speechless.
Indeed, she had many rivals.
Especially after her little schemes were exposed, it was no surprise she was surrounded by enemies.
But—
“You think I’d be afraid after taking action?”
“You don’t even dare keep your original face. What right do you have to compete with me?”
“Senior Sister, as sharp as ever.”
With a soft sigh, Wangqing Ge left the Great Qin palace as if strolling through an empty realm, coming and going without a trace.
It wasn’t that no one in Great Qin noticed her presence, but for a powerhouse like her—neither friend nor foe—engaging in conflict would be the worst move.
Besides, no one suffered a loss.
Oh, you say the Empress’s man was forcibly kissed?
That’s great news!
Absolutely fantastic news!
Compared to the hidden guardians deep within the Great Qin palace, the civil and military officials were the ones truly dealt a fatal blow.
It wasn’t just Su Chen’s overwhelming combat prowess, but the colossal figure backing him.
Wangqing Ge’s terrifying strength surpassed the comprehension of every powerhouse in the palace.
This was practically a divine being delivering a crushing blow to mere mortals!
Though she had left, the impact she left on Great Qin was just beginning to ripple.
The death of the Prince of Yan’s Heir left the Prince of Yan seething with rage, wishing he could tear Su Chen apart.
But now, he didn’t even dare breathe too loudly, as if petrified.
After all—
His son was a peerless genius with a rare lightning physique, highly valued by the Heavenly Thunder Sect Master.
That was why, in his son’s final moments, the Sect Master’s phantom had manifested.
They had thought that with the Sect Master’s phantom arriving, Su Chen was doomed.
Who could have imagined that Su Chen’s backing was even more terrifying?!
The silver-haired fairy who appeared was unfathomably powerful, annihilating the Sect Master’s phantom with a single sword strike.
Given the Sect Master’s strength and domineering nature, such a humiliating event should have prompted his true body to appear.
Yet, after all this time, there was no sign of movement—proof that even the Sect Master didn’t dare utter a word against the silver-haired fairy.
“Who… who is that great figure?”
An official, trembling, whispered to the Left Chancellor.
He was so awestruck he didn’t even dare mention any of Wangqing Ge’s traits.
Though he didn’t specify, how could the Left Chancellor not know what his confidant was asking?
“No idea.”
The Left Chancellor was well-versed in the ways of the world, but at this moment, he too was at a loss, helpless.
Years of scheming, ruined in an instant, with no hope of recovery!
The Left Chancellor’s son, Duan Yicheng, and the surrounding retainers were completely stunned.
They racked their brains but couldn’t fathom that Su Chen had such a terrifying background.
Had they known, how would they have dared oppose him?
Now they understood why Su Chen killed the Prince of Yan’s Heir as casually as slaughtering a chicken, without the slightest hesitation.
Because Su Chen didn’t take the Prince of Yan’s mansion seriously at all. With such a formidable backing, he truly had the right to disregard them!
Well, Su Chen would say you’ve got it all wrong.
I don’t even know her!
Getting forcibly kissed out of nowhere—how could he feel good about that?
But more than anything, he was filled with doubts.
From the faint hints in her demeanor, it seemed she knew him.
Yet her face was completely unfamiliar.
Could there be someone else in this world he knew besides his Senior Sister?
But Senior Sister said there wasn’t anyone else. Could she have lied to him?!
“Achoo!”
High above, Ying Qingge, who was grinding her teeth in frustration, sneezed inexplicably.
