'Qin Tian! Qin Tian! Ah! You deserve to die!!!'
To the east of the Spirit Beast Forest, in front of a waterfall, a young man stood bare-chested. His face was twisted with fury, his eyes bloodshot red. In his hand he waved a great blade and hammered wildly at the ground, smashing crater after crater into it.
Lin Fan panted hard, fire burning in his eyes. He suddenly shot upward, leaping into the air, every muscle in his body radiating explosive power as he raised the flaming blade above his head.
'Blazing Thirteen Blades!'
He slashed. Spiritual energy surged and roiled, and in an instant ten flaming blade lights came crashing down, turning the surrounding miles beneath them into scorched earth.
'Not enough! Still not enough!'
'Fan'er, calm down.' At that moment Lin Ritian suddenly appeared and pressed a hand on Lin Fan's shoulder.
'Fan'er, don't let this little setback affect your state of mind. You are my son, Lin Ritian's son, a dragon among men. You only started a little later than others. As long as you have time, that little Qin Tian is no match for you.'
Lin Ritian's eyes were full of fatherly affection as he gently stroked the top of Lin Fan's head.
(That's right! I'm a transmigrator. I'm the protagonist of this world. How can you natives compare with me!) Lin Fan thought to himself, glancing at Lin Ritian with a faint sneer at the corner of his mouth.
(Your unlucky son was long ago taken over by me. I even ate his soul, and you still want me to call you dad? I'm the one who's your father.)
'Father is the youngest Soul Transformation cultivator in the Tiancan Realm. I still need to learn more from Father.'
'Hahaha, that's my boy!' Lin Ritian laughed heartily, clearly very satisfied with this son.
'Fan'er, remember this: be humble when you should be humble, and arrogant when you should be arrogant. As long as you're strong enough, you can be as overbearing as you want. That's how other people will fear you and respect you. Just like that Qin Tian. If you can't beat him now, then work hard, grow stronger, and then stomp him under your foot. Humiliate him and torment him to your heart's content! Don't stand here raging at empty ground.'
Lin Fan dismissed the lecture, but it did wake him up a little. He really didn't need to care so much about Qin Tian. As a transmigrator, once he developed further, what could that little Qin Tian possibly do?
'By the way, Fan'er, I came this time because I discovered a secret realm. There may be a major opportunity there. I'm taking you with me. That opportunity might even let you comprehend every secret of the Blazing Thirteen Blades and unleash all thirteen strikes!'
'Really!' Lin Fan said excitedly. Then a trace of ferocity flashed through his eyes as he said, 'As long as I can unleash the thirteenth strike, that Qin Tian will definitely die under my blade!'
'Look at that pathetic ambition. You are my son, after all.' Lin Ritian snorted and said proudly, 'The reason you couldn't beat him before was only because the Blazing Thirteen Blades weren't complete yet. Besides, there is another spirit vein in your body that hasn't been awakened. As long as you obtain those two things, forget this lower realm, even the prodigies of the upper realm won't be able to compare with you.'
He waved a hand, and an overwhelming swagger immediately rose from within him. A nameless confidence welled up from the inside.
'Right now, all you need to do is go to that secret realm, perfect your Blazing Thirteen Blades, and then come back. Let your mother awaken your second spirit vein. Then what does Qin Tian have to compare with you? What right does he have to fight you? What does he have to fight you? Cutting him down will be as easy as slaughtering a chicken.'
The more Lin Fan heard, the brighter his eyes grew. Even his otherwise ordinary face flushed red with excitement, and his expression looked full of energy.
'But how can that flower help me awaken my spirit vein?' Lin Fan asked curiously.
'If Duo'er were still here back then, she could have held an awakening ceremony for you. But now, only if you refine your mother will the spirit vein in your body awaken.' After saying that, Lin Ritian's eyes flashed with an inscrutable look.
Lin Ritian went on. 'For the sake of paving the way for your future, I think your mother would be very willing.'
Lin Fan nodded. He had no feelings for that flower at all, so he didn't feel the slightest psychological burden.
'Then let's go, Father!' Lin Fan said, somewhat impatiently.
'Mm, we're setting off now.' Lin Ritian grabbed Lin Fan's shoulder, and with his figure blurring, the two of them disappeared from the spot.
…………………………
Meanwhile, Qin Tian was still on the Flying Cloud Boat, enjoying a life of imperial luxury. He had his head resting on Hu Jiuli's smooth, full thighs. To make himself comfortable, Qin Tian hadn't even let Hu Jiuli wear a skirt, lying there with his head on her bare thighs, right beside her swollen breasts, while Wu Bingchan lay draped across his chest and fed him a spirit fruit now and then.
'By the way, Jiuli, do you recognize this?' Saying that, Qin Tian took the great blade he had taken from Lin Fan out of his storage space and handed it to Jiuli.
Hu Jiuli frowned as she gripped the blade, then gritted her teeth and said, 'The blade is different, but the aura on it is the same. Back then, I was killed by a blade carrying that same aura.'
'What?' Wu Bingchan was shocked, and her expression turned furious as well.
'I took this from Lin Fan.' Qin Tian said flatly.
'How could it be him!' Wu Bingchan said in surprise, covering her mouth.
'Hm?' Hu Jiuli looked at her daughter in confusion and asked, 'You know this Lin Fan?'
Then Wu Bingchan told her mother everything about Lin Fan.
After listening, Hu Jiuli looked at her daughter and her gaze suddenly turned stern. 'Xiaochan, now that you are your husband's woman, don't get entangled with other men, understand?'
'Mother~ Lin Fan and I were only ordinary fellow disciples. Besides, my heart only belongs to husband now~' Wu Bingchan said shyly.
'Good.' Hu Jiuli nodded and said to Qin Tian, 'Husband, you must not let him go. He kept my daughter and me apart in life and death. If it weren't for you, our mother and daughter would never have had the chance to see each other again in this lifetime. Even if it wasn't him directly, he is definitely involved.'
Qin Tian looked upward and could only see two heavy breasts. He couldn't see Hu Jiuli's face at all, though they did provide quite a bit of shade. He reached out with one hand, grabbed one of the breast mounds and pushed it aside, then looked at Hu Jiuli's pretty face through the gap, smiling as he said, 'Don't worry. Anyone who dares to hurt my woman will pay for it. That's exactly why we came out this time.'
Hu Jiuli's pretty face flushed red. 'If you're going to talk, then talk. Why are you grabbing me like that~'
'Heh, if I don't do this, how am I supposed to see Jiuli's face?'
'You little tease~'
Just as the three of them were flirting, Ying Ji suddenly appeared. She knelt on one knee before them and said, 'Reporting to my master: Lin Fan and Lin Ritian have just left. From what they said, they were heading to a secret realm.'
'Ying Ji!' Wu Bingchan greeted her sweetly when she saw Ying Ji, and Hu Jiuli also smiled and nodded at her.
Ying Ji smiled back at the mother and daughter. The three of them had, after all, fought Qin Tian together as allies, and that day they had only managed to hold him to a draw thanks to Ying Ji's addition.
Qin Tian nodded and said, 'Let them go. They aren't our target on this trip.'
'Understood.' With that, Ying Ji once again vanished from before their eyes.
'Wow~ Sister Ying Ji is so strong. She comes and goes without a trace; I can't sense her at all.' Wu Bingchan said with envy.
'If you could sense her, she'd be better off being smashed to death by a pig.' Qin Tian glanced at Wu Bingchan speechlessly.
'Hmph~' Wu Bingchan pouted and turned her head away, refusing to look at Qin Tian.
Hu Jiuli's eyes also flickered with a trace of shock. Ying Ji's strength really was profound and unfathomable; even she couldn't see through it at all. But then she thought about how Ying Ji was also someone by Qin Tian's side, and didn't dwell on it. She asked curiously, 'If Lin Fan and his father aren't there, what are we going there for?'
'Of course it's for something fun~' Qin Tian's eyes flashed with cunning. After meeting them so many times, Qin Tian had more or less figured out Lin Fan's personality. He was the kind of person who thought that being a transmigrator made him superior, probably because he had read too many novels. The moment he transmigrated, he decided he was the protagonist, so he had always been extremely arrogant. Put bluntly, he simply couldn't fully fit into this world.
For a person like that, even if you fucked his mother in front of him, he probably wouldn't feel too much, because he doesn't really have any feelings. What Qin Tian was after this time was Lin Ritian. Right now, Lin Ritian was Lin Fan's last backing. The Ancestral Dragon opportunity was far too important. If Lin Fan wasn't pushed to the brink, that chance wouldn't be triggered.
That opportunity had originally been prepared for Lin Fan. It was also the most important opportunity he had in this lower realm. Under Qin Tian's relentless pressure, many of Lin Fan's chances had already arrived ahead of time. He didn't want to waste any more time in the lower realm; he wanted to finish this as quickly as possible and return sooner.
'Husband definitely isn't thinking about anything good~' Wu Bingchan muttered.
'No harm in telling you. Lin Fan's mother is a Sunfire Flower, and her situation is pretty similar to Jiuli's. This trip is to bring her back to life.' Qin Tian didn't bother hiding it either. In any case, he was definitely going to have more women in the future, so hiding it would just be exhausting.
Hu Jiuli and Wu Bingchan both looked at him differently after that, but neither of them said much. They both knew Qin Tian wasn't the sort of man who would stay satisfied with just one woman. In the future his women would only grow more and more numerous. If they were all jealous, they'd probably sour themselves to death. Besides, mother and daughter were already his in body and mind. What else could they do?
'You mean Yan Duo'er?' Hu Jiuli said uncertainly.
'Huh? Jiuli, you know her?' Qin Tian looked at Hu Jiuli in surprise.
'Mm. We both lived in the Spirit Beast Forest after all, so we were somewhat acquainted. It's just that after she got married, we rarely saw each other. On top of that, I died earlier than she did, so we had even less chance to meet.' Hu Jiuli's eyes flickered with a trace of reminiscence.
'But husband, Yan Duo'er isn't as easygoing as I am. Her temper is fierce.' Hu Jiuli covered her mouth and chuckled softly, as if she could already see Qin Tian getting the short end of the stick.
'Husband really does like mature women~' Wu Bingchan said a little sourly.
Qin Tian smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, 'I have plenty of ways. You two can just wait and serve me together.'
Hu Jiuli said, 'Then I'll wait for husband's good news. After all, I haven't seen her in a long time either. It wouldn't be bad if we could serve husband together.'
'Then I'll be back soon.' Qin Tian stood up, kissed the mother and daughter's cherry lips one after the other, then stepped out and vanished from the spot.
Watching Qin Tian disappear, Wu Bingchan wrapped both arms around her mother's arm and said worriedly, 'Mother, if husband has more and more women in the future, will he still treat us like this?'
Hu Jiuli smiled confidently. 'Xiaochan, even though you only have half the blood of the Nine-Tailed Charm Fox, when it comes to stealing men, our clan has never lost.'
'Come on, Mother will teach you a few more tricks today.'
'Xiaochan, go fetch a cucumber.'
'Mother~ Won't a cucumber be too thin?'
'That is true. Then go pick out a radish that's about the right size.'
'Okay, I'll go right now.'
On the other side........................
In midair, layers of cloud rolled like waves. Qin Tian's figure broke through the air, tearing a crack across it as he came. After quickly crossing a mountain range, he arrived in a broad canyon. What met his eyes was a scene of utter ruin: pits and craters everywhere, with deep blade scars carved into the ground. From somewhere not far away, the sound of rushing water could faintly be heard.
Qin Tian turned his head and looked over. That was the destination for this trip. In the distance stood a waterfall that plunged straight down from an immense height, and the thunderous roar of the water sounded like it could shatter a person's skull.
Following the coordinates Ying Ji had given him, Qin Tian quickly found the cave hidden behind the waterfall. He entered the deepest part of the cave. The air inside was damp and heavy with moisture, moss grew everywhere, and the place was pitch black with not a ray of sunlight in sight. In the middle sat a small mound of earth.
On that mound of earth, a faintly fire-red little flower emitted strands of weak spiritual light, but its stem was bent and its bloom drooped, already showing signs of withering.
Qin Tian glanced at it and said, 'This is actually a Sunfire Flower Queen.'
Qin Tian was somewhat surprised, because Sunfire Flowers were far too ordinary, as common as weeds. Whether in the lower realm or in the Great Thousand Realm, these flowers could be seen everywhere. As long as there was sunlight, they would grow in patches and blankets; they were the most common and most numerous species.
But the Sunfire Flower Queen was different. Even out of a hundred million Sunfire Flowers, one might not produce a single Sunfire Flower Queen. A Sunfire Flower Queen could summon every Sunfire Flower in the world, and not only was it useful in countless ways, it was also extremely powerful.
After looking around the surrounding environment, Qin Tian felt a strange unease rising in his heart. Something about this probably wasn't what he had imagined.
At first, his main reason for reviving Lin Fan's mother had been to target Lin Ritian. By rights, if their tragic love story was really that moving, they should have loved each other deeply. But Sunfire Flowers, as the name suggested, needed to grow in places with abundant sunlight.
And here there was not only no sunlight, but also a great deal of dampness. Spiritual energy was lacking as well. It was the perfect place for something that was completely unsuitable for a Sunfire Flower to grow in.
This was clearly meant to make that Sunfire Flower die as quickly as possible.
Qin Tian raised an eyebrow. Looks like Lin Ritian wasn't any good either. But that made things more interesting.
He took out a pill, crushed it, and scattered it at the base of the Sunfire Flower. Then he hovered a hand over the bud and sent spiritual energy into its body.
Very quickly, the drooping Sunfire Flower began to stand back up little by little. Its color grew even more vivid red, and it began to give off a faint red glow.
Then a streak of red light rose from the flower, slowly condensing. Before long, a spiritual-energy form appeared before Qin Tian.
She had a peerless face and a dazzlingly seductive figure. Her fiery red hair fell straight down to her waist. Her figure was outrageously hot and explosive. Her fair, long legs were the very definition of perfection, not the slightest bit too much and not the slightest bit too little, just right. Her pair of huge breasts, though not as large as Hu Jiuli's, were still enormous. Her skin was white and smooth, delicate as ice and jade, without a trace of sweat.
Yan Duo'er slowly opened her eyes in confusion and looked around. Not seeing her husband's figure, she felt a faint sense of loss, but she did see the young, handsome, and strikingly good-looking man in front of her.
'Who are you? How did you get here? Where is Ritian!' The instant Yan Duo'er saw Qin Tian, flames burst across her body. She clenched her fair hand and a red Overlord Spear appeared in her grip, pointed straight at Qin Tian.
Qin Tian remained calm, not the least bit flustered. He said flatly, 'Is that how you treat your savior?'
'Did Ritian send you to save me?' Yan Duo'er frowned. Back then, during that battle, she had sacrificed herself to let Lin Ritian break through to the Soul Transformation realm, and as a result she had fallen. But as a Sunfire Flower Queen, given enough time she would be revived again. By rights, she shouldn't have awakened so quickly.
'No, quite the opposite. Your husband and your son are my mortal enemies. The kind where one side must die before it's over.'
'If that's the case, what is your purpose in awakening me?' A trace of killing intent flashed through Yan Duo'er's eyes.
Qin Tian didn't care at all. He looked at Yan Duo'er and asked, 'You love your husband and son very much?'
'Of course I do. Ritian may be a little rough around the edges, but he's very good to me. The feelings between us aren't something you can split apart with just a few words here.' Yan Duo'er felt unhappy, believing Qin Tian was questioning the love between her and Lin Ritian.
'Then let me ask you this: if Lin Ritian loves you so much, why did he plant you in a place like this? This place is completely unsuitable for Sunfire Flowers to grow. The fact that he could find such a perfect spot means he clearly put in quite a bit of effort.' As Qin Tian spoke, he lowered his head and smiled, as if mocking the shamefulness of Lin Ritian's actions.
'Maybe Ritian just wanted to hide me away.' Yan Duo'er looked at the surroundings. As a Sunfire Flower Queen, she was naturally familiar with all of this, but in her heart she still believed Lin Ritian would never harm her.
'Hahaha, exactly. Once you're dead, you really are hidden away completely.' Qin Tian laughed wantonly.
'Shut up! Stop spouting nonsense here. Since you're Ritian's enemy, I'll kill you right here!' Yan Duo'er was in turmoil and shouted at him, unwilling to listen to Qin Tian any further.
'You think my words sound harsh because everything I'm saying is true. Your husband doesn't seem to love you nearly as much as you imagine, does he~' Qin Tian's smile grew even more mocking.
'Maybe the ambush you suffered back then wasn't an accident either...' After saying that, Qin Tian gave Yan Duo'er a meaningful look.
'Shut up! Shut up! Ritian is not that kind of person!' Yan Duo'er roared in anger and no longer bothered with words. The Overlord Spear in her hand went stabbing toward Qin Tian's head.
Looking at the Overlord Spear stabbing at his head, Qin Tian showed no intention of dodging. He reached out with one hand and caught the spearhead directly. No matter how hard Yan Duo'er tried, the Overlord Spear didn't budge an inch.
'You... how can you be this strong! You're only at the Core Formation realm!' Yan Duo'er was deeply shaken. The young man in front of her, though only at Core Formation, was already enough to prove how monstrous his talent was. But after all, he was still only at Core Formation. She, on the other hand, was at the peak of Spirit Condensation. Even if she was not in her prime right now, Core Formation should still have been nowhere near enough to block her.
'A toast refused is a toast punished. Looks like I can't reason with you.' Qin Tian's body erupted with overwhelming pressure, pinning Yan Duo'er down hard.
Then Qin Tian directly pulled the Sunfire Flower out from the little mound of earth. The Yan Duo'er who had been formed from spiritual energy in midair also dispersed and returned to her true form.
'I'm here to rescue you from Lin Ritian's clutches. You don't believe me now, but one day you'll thank me for this.' After saying that, Qin Tian didn't say another word. He flashed out of the cave.
With a few leaps, he arrived at a stone platform above the waterfall and set the Sunfire Flower in his hand down.
'System, how many villain points will it take to reshape Yan Duo'er?'
[Ding~ Reshaping Yan Duo'er requires 5000 villain points]
'Mm, choose reshape.'
Strictly speaking, Yan Duo'er wasn't dead. She had only regressed into an ordinary Sunfire Flower. So all Qin Tian needed to do was reshape her body and let her grow back to her previous state.
However, in that case Yan Duo'er was basically reborn. All traces of the past would disappear. That included the hymen as well, and the reshaped body would be a brand-new body that had never given birth and had never been used by anyone.
In an instant, brilliant gold light filled the air. A surging force of vitality and the laws of time wrapped around Yan Duo'er's true form, slowly lifting it into the air. Yan Duo'er herself was also growing at a rate visible to the naked eye.
First it was just an ordinary Sunfire Flower, then it slowly began to grow, swelling with life force. Its roots sank deep into the earth, its stalk grew thick and sturdy, its green leaves shimmered, and its red blossoms bloomed brilliantly. Before Qin Tian stood a giant Sunfire Flower nearly as tall as a man.
All around it, more and more Sunfire Flowers began to sprout. Very quickly, this whole stretch turned into a sea of flowers. At that moment, the enormous Sunfire Flower Queen also burst with intense golden light. When the light faded, the Sunfire Flower Queen had completed its transformation and turned once more into Yan Duoer.
Yan Duoer, in human form, lay with her eyes closed amid the flower sea. Her pale, warm jade-like body and her violently voluptuous figure were laid bare before Qin Tian. Even Qin Tian had to admit that Lin Ritian had the luck of a damned fool to have married someone this beautiful.
But now Yan Duoer belonged to him. Qin Tian was no righteous gentleman. With a beauty this stunning and naked right in front of him, how could he possibly not take her?
Qin Tian stripped off his own clothes and stepped up to Yan Duoer. He lifted her legs apart. As expected of a flower that had taken human form, even her pubic hair was red.
Qin Tian braced his already rigid cock and aimed it at Yan Duoer's red-haired, tender pussy, then drove himself straight in.
No one knew how much time passed before Yan Duoer slowly came to. By then her head was splitting with pain, her mind was hazy, and she had no strength at all. Something was going in and out of her body.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Qin Tian in front of her. Only then did she feel the agony of being invaded below, the pain of her tender cunt being stretched open. She reached out to push him away, but Qin Tian kept on thrusting without stopping.
"Mm... you bastard... ah... let go of me!"
"Wait, I told you to wait! Ah... it hurts... ah... don't keep fucking me, please don't keep fucking me, I'm going to break..."
"Ah... ah... my husband... won't let you get away with this... mm... Ritian will definitely kill you, you bastard."
Yan Duoer was saying fierce words, but her face was one of utter ecstasy and ruin, and even her voice was weak and breathless.
"Now I'm your husband," Qin Tian said with a curl of his lips, thrusting relentlessly.
A few hours later, Qin Tian's cock suddenly rammed hard, and his glans slammed fiercely against Yan Duoer's tender womb. A thick flood of seed shot deep inside her, and under Yan Duoer's high, trembling cries, this intoxicating battle of flesh finally came to an end.
Although Yan Duoer was a Sunfire Flower, the little red blossom formed on the ground from her maiden blood still looked glaringly obvious to her.
Soaked in sweat, Yan Duoer lay in Qin Tian's arms, her gaze unfocused, breathing out fragrant, heated breaths. The stimulation was simply too intense and too intoxicating. By now she could no longer even remember what Lin Ritian's cock had felt like; her head was full of Qin Tian's cock instead.
But Yan Duoer still had some reason left. She looked at Qin Tian resentfully, forced herself up a little, and pushed away the hand he was using to knead her breasts. With difficulty, she put some distance between them.
She did not speak. Trembling, she got to her feet and moved to the water's edge, scooped up water, and tried to wash Qin Tian's seed out of her cunt. But Qin Tian had fucked too deeply; his semen had all been shot straight into her womb, so no matter how she washed, it was useless.
Qin Tian watched her with a faint smile. He slowly stood up and came up behind Yan Duoer. So she still hadn't fully surrendered yet. She was still trying to wash it out. Did she not understand that this was Qin Tian's gift to her?
He pulled the utterly unresponsive Yan Duoer back into his arms once more. Using the flower sea as a bed, he drove himself back into her tender cunt. Yan Duoer lay in the sea of flowers, biting down hard the entire time and making no sound. She only glared at Qin Tian with eyes that seemed ready to spit fire. Her expression shifted between bitter hatred and dizzy pleasure, more beautiful than any face-changing act.
After several more hours of coupling, under Qin Tian's repeated assaults, Yan Duoer could no longer hold her expression in check and grew soft and seductive instead. Her pussy had been completely molded into Qin Tian's shape.
By then, Yan Duoer no longer had the strength to break free from Qin Tian's arms. Panting hard, she lay in his embrace and let his cock slip out of her cunt after he once again shot his seed into her womb.
Qin Tian held her slender waist with one hand and smiled. "So? Am I not much stronger than Lin Ritian?"
If looks could kill, Yan Duoer's gaze right now would have murdered Qin Tian thousands of times over. Qin Tian took it all in stride, brushing aside her disheveled bangs and kissing her smooth forehead with unusual tenderness.
"At the very least, I'm still your savior. Don't look at me like that. It makes me sad."
Seeing that Yan Duoer remained silent, he slid his hand over her smooth skin and went on, "The you of now is no longer the same person as before. The old you is dead. The new you is here. From this life onward, you're my woman, and I'm your husband. As for Lin Ritian, the you who was his wife is already dead, so now you're mine."
Qin Tian's tone was gentle, with none of the guilt of having raped her. He really did sound like an ordinary husband and wife.
He stroked Yan Duoer's lovely face and said, "After all, I spent a huge amount of resources on you, even a time law. With such a great price, is it too much to ask for your body? Come on, give your husband a smile."
"You shameless bastard! Filthy! Despicable!" Yan Duoer finally could not hold back and shouted at him, then viciously turned her face away.
"Did I ask you to save me? You acted on your own. I don't care about those things, and I can't repay you anyway. At worst, I'll just give you this life!"
As she spoke, she gathered the little remaining spiritual power in her body and slapped herself toward the center of her brow. She was extremely weak now; if that blow landed, she would probably turn back into a perfectly ordinary Sunfire Flower again.
Qin Tian raised a brow. This really was the kind of fierce woman Hu Jiuli had described. She was willing to kill herself without a second thought. Of course, Qin Tian would not let her have her way. He had spent so many villain points and only enjoyed himself twice. He had not even earned back the capital. How could he let her die?
Still, this was within expectations. With her temperament, two rounds of fucking would never be enough to make her submit in body and soul. Otherwise she would not have sacrificed herself to save Lin Ritian without saying a word.
Qin Tian caught her fair wrist and forced her down. His gaze remained warm as he said earnestly, "Why go this far? You're so beautiful. If you died like this, wouldn't that be a terrible waste? I admit it: I do want your body and I do want you to become my woman. You're this beautiful. Wanting to possess you is something every man would think of. I just acted on it."
Qin Tian lifted Yan Duoer's chin, his voice gentle but carrying undeniable authority.
"You think some despicable method like this can make me yours? You think reviving me will make me gratefully become your slut? Bastard, you violated my innocence. How is that any different from killing me? I'd rather die than live like this."
Yan Duoer gritted her teeth, anger and misery both in her voice. She stared fixedly at Qin Tian, showing him her resolve, and a single tear slid from the corner of her eye.
"Hmph." Qin Tian snorted coldly, pinching her chin as his eyes turned ice-cold and his tone became indifferent. "Innocence? Your innocence means nothing to me. I am the divine son of the Qin Clan of the Great Thousand Dao Domain, the Crown Prince of the Luohen Immortal Dynasty. So what if I violated your innocence? Since I set my sights on you, that's because I think highly of you. You're nothing but a Sunfire Flower from the lower realm. Do you think you're qualified to defy me?"
Feeling the chill in Qin Tian's voice, Yan Duoer's body trembled. For some reason, fear welled up inside her, and her eyes turned from hostile to awed and panicked. The hostility from before was gone completely.
"I brought you back to life and slept with you. From now on, you can only be my woman. Whether you like it or not, you have to be."
"You..." Yan Duoer's eyes shook. For a moment she could not even speak. Then tears started pouring down like a breached dam. She did not know what the Qin Clan was, but she knew what the Great Thousand Dao Domain was. If he was willing to spend time law and so many resources to wake her and remake her body, then this man must have an utterly terrifying power in the Great Thousand Dao Domain.
Lin Ritian's ancestor had ascended to the Great Thousand Dao Domain. Even he had never spoken of such a thing. Now that she had been targeted by someone this terrifying, could she still escape his grasp?
She probably would not even be able to die if she tried.
Thinking of that, her heart grew even more bitter, and her eyes were red and swollen from tears.
Qin Tian did not comfort her. Yan Duoer did not need his comfort. Yan Duoer was different from Hu Jiuli. Yan Duoer was a genuine married woman, and she already had a son. For a woman like her, betraying her husband and son would not come easily, not even in death.
As for Hu Jiuli, her husband had been dead for years. She had been a widow for so long, and on top of that she was a Nine-Tailed Charming Fox, with her daughter also taken by him. Add in Qin Tian's teasing, and at first she had struggled and resisted a little, but now, wasn't she having plenty of fun?
But Yan Duoer was different. Her husband was still very much alive. So he used some stronger, more extreme methods, deliberately revealed his identity to crush her and leave her with no way out. But looking at things now, the roadblock still wasn't sealed tightly enough. He would need to add something even harsher.
Qin Tian pulled Yan Duoer into his arms, gently wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes, and suddenly let his voice turn soft. "What I said earlier was a little harsh, but I really do sincerely want you. Don't worry. You're not some lowly lower-realm Sunfire Flower. You're my woman. I'll treat you well from now on. No one will bully you, and I won't let you sacrifice yourself again. Once we reach the Great Thousand Dao Domain, I can give you the best cultivation environment and a far broader world."
"What exactly do you want? Like you said, I'm just a lower-realm Sunfire Flower, a flower that can be seen anywhere by the roadside. Is there really anything about me worth scheming over?"
By now Yan Duoer had also come to understand that resisting Qin Tian was useless, so she calmed down. She felt that Qin Tian had gone to such great lengths to revive her for more than just wanting her body. They had never even met before. Qin Tian had not even known whether she was beautiful or not. She did not believe he had gone through all this just to get her. Sunfire Flowers were everywhere in the lower realm; she did not believe there were none in the Great Thousand Dao Domain.
Seeing that she had given up resisting, Qin Tian smiled faintly, rested a hand at her slender waist, and drew her back into his embrace again so that she lay against his chest. "That's more like it. You look so miserable, you make me look like some heartless bastard who uses women and doesn't take responsibility."
"If I really wanted something, then yes, I do want you to deal with Lin Ritian and Lin Fan. I said from the start that they are my mortal enemies. The kind where either they die or I die."
Qin Tian did not hide anything. Lies work on little girls, but with someone like Yan Duoer, they only backfire. After all, anyone who has lived for over a thousand years, even if it's a pig, cannot be underestimated.
"You bastard, I'd rather die than let you use me. Trying to use me against Ritian? Dream on! Not only did you violate my innocence, you want to use me against my husband and child? You demon, I'll fight you to the death!"
Yan Duoer clenched her teeth, both hands pounding Qin Tian's chest again and again. But she was far too weak now to hurt him at all. Crying as she went, she swung with all the strength she could muster. When she was exhausted and had no strength left, her body went limp once more in Qin Tian's arms, but the tears in her eyes spoke of her misery.
Qin Tian smiled faintly. "Out of strength already? Then can you listen properly to what I'm saying now?"
Ignoring the hatred in Yan Duoer's eyes, he continued, "Actually, your son Lin Fan is no longer your son. He has already been possessed by someone else."
"Do you think I'll believe you?" Yan Duoer frowned.
"You should have the ability to read the memories of Sunfire Flowers. You can read the memories of all the Sunfire Flowers around here and see for yourself what your son is like, then decide."
As he finished speaking, spiritual energy surged from the hand Qin Tian had around Yan Duoer's waist and flowed into her body. Feeling Qin Tian's warm yet incomparably pure spiritual power, Yan Duoer gave him a complicated look, then placed her hand on the ground, closed her eyes, and read the memories of all the surrounding Sunfire Flowers.
Sunfire Flowers were everywhere. As long as there was enough sunlight, they grew quickly. Even in places without sunlight, a few would still sprout here and there. Because of that, most people never paid any attention to them. Through the surrounding Sunfire Flowers, Yan Duoer saw a few scenes.
These were scenes of Lin Ritian being absent, with Lin Fan alone.
"Damn it, what the hell is this garbage? Wants to be my dad? Pah. You're nothing but a tool for me."
"That nearly dead flower is my mother? Pah, pah, pah. What mother? It's just the mother of this body. That old dog actually got together with a flower. That's bizarre enough to be ridiculous."
Yan Duoer suddenly opened her eyes. Her face was panicked and dazed. Her son had really been possessed!
She had not even heard her son call her mother once. She had not even properly held him yet, and he had already been taken over by someone else.
At that moment, her strength and resolve began to crumble. She was furious, but she was also heartbroken. "No! I have to tell Ritian about this so he can kill him! My poor child... sob..."
Seeing this, Qin Tian could not help but smile knowingly. Yan Duoer's final escape route was just a little short of being completely sealed off. In a voice full of temptation, he said, "Don't be foolish. Do you really think Lin Ritian would believe you? You've been reborn now, and your first time was taken by me. There are my marks all over your womb. Do you think if he knew that, he would still treat you as his wife?"
The more Qin Tian spoke, the paler Yan Duoer's face became. By the end, there was hardly any color left in it. She knew exactly what kind of man Lin Ritian was. Though he treated her very well, he was also an obsessive man, arrogant and overbearing. The one thing such a man could never tolerate was a woman cuckolding him. It was possible that if Lin Ritian really found out, he would indeed kill her.
"And do you really think Lin Ritian loves you? Don't you find that ambush back then suspicious at all?" Qin Tian continued to tempt her.
Hearing that, Yan Duoer also fell into memory. There really had been many suspicious points in that battle back then. At the time, the situation had been urgent, and there had been no room for her to think too much. Looking back now, it did contain a strange and unsettling quality.
The more she thought about it, the tighter her delicate brows knitted, and a faint unease rose in her heart. She did not even bother to think about how Qin Tian knew all this. After all, people who came down from the Sacred Realm having a few methods she did not know about was perfectly normal.
Qin Tian watched the changes in her expression and knew the timing was right.
"In the lower realm, the Lin Clan is a force no weaker than the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land. No one dares provoke them. Even a dog let loose by them would still walk with its head held high. So who would dare ambush and kill the Lin Clan's second young master?"
Qin Tian leaned close to Yan Duoer's ear and, in a magnetic, bewitching voice, pulled her out of her recollections. After hearing this, Yan Duoer's eyes drifted, and her expression grew somewhat flustered as she thought about something.
"According to what I've investigated, even the Lin Clan doesn't know Lin Ritian's whereabouts. If even a family like the Lin Clan couldn't find you two, how did those people who surrounded and killed you find you?"
"Why was it that at the beginning you were being beaten into complete disarray, but after you sacrificed yourself, Lin Ritian suddenly managed to kill those people in an instant? Even if he had broken through to the Soul Transformation realm, it would still be very difficult to instantly kill several Spirit-Consolidation cultivators, let alone when he had only just broken through."
"No!" Yan Duoer cried out, her face pale. She clutched her head and broke free from Qin Tian's arms, pleading almost desperately, "Don't say any more. Please, I beg you, don't say any more. It's all fake. Ritian loves me. He would never do something like that. He wouldn't!"
She kept shaking her head, as if doing so could shake out everything Qin Tian had said. She screamed hysterically, "Impossible! It's you! It has to be you! You want to sow discord between me and Ritian, so you're saying this on purpose. It has to be!"
Yan Duoer's head kept shaking, and her pair of beautiful breasts swayed with it. Qin Tian looked at her pained, disbelieving expression, and the corners of his lips rose. He stepped forward and hugged her from behind, kneading those bouncing breasts in his hands as he leaned against her ear and kept speaking.
"Whether what I said is true or not, don't you know yourself? Which part of what I said was false? You can refute me, and I'll correct it immediately."
Qin Tian pressed Yan Duoer down onto the flower sea, lay over her jade-like back, and drove his cock into her pussy once more. His hands kneaded her breasts as he thrust his waist and said, "You say Lin Ritian loves you? Well, I love you too. And I love you even deeper than he does. Isn't that deeper than Lin Ritian's love?"
As he spoke, he viciously shoved his cock deeper and deeper. Every thrust drove all the way to the deepest place, kissing the opening of Yan Duoer's womb and making her understand just how deep Qin Tian's love was.
Yan Duoer lay face-down in the sea of flowers, her eyes empty and her expression blank, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes as she kept muttering under her breath.
"Impossible... Ritian loves me... he wouldn't do something like that."
"Ritian loves me."
"He loves me."
"Slap." Qin Tian smacked her ass and laughed wildly. "At a time like this you're still chanting his name. Don't you think that's killing the mood? How am I worse than Lin Ritian? I'm young, powerful, and backed by a huge family. So many women beg for what they can't have. Why are you so fixated on some bearded middle-aged man?"
Qin Tian did not get angry. Instead, he felt a trace of excitement. Yan Duoer's psychological defenses were on the verge of collapse. Looking at Yan Duoer beneath him, still staring blankly, tears still falling, still muttering his name over and over, he gave a cold smile. What he had said was not made up. The moment he saw that cave, he had sensed something was wrong, so he spent a little villain value to uncover that hidden secret. If Yan Duoer discovered that what he said was true, then she would truly feel the cruelty of reality.
Their third coupling lasted for about half an hour. Qin Tian casually draped a red robe over Yan Duoer and fed her a pill to restore her strength.
By then Yan Duoer was no longer crying, nor was she muttering endlessly. She only stared blankly at Qin Tian, those beautiful eyes holding an indescribable emotion.
Looking at her, Qin Tian wrapped one arm around her slender waist and tilted up her chin with the other, a wicked smile tugging at his lips. “Don’t you think I’m much better-looking than that old geezer, and a hell of a lot stronger too? Young, handsome, powerful, influential, and full of stamina. Following me wouldn’t disgrace you.”
Yan Duo'er turned away and ignored him.
Qin Tian didn’t mind. He pulled her into his arms and laughed. “So, who do you think is more impressive, me or Lin Ritian? You were practically about to black out from pleasure just now.”
“Or have you already forgotten what Lin Ritian felt like and now your head is full of me? Hahaha.”
Yan Duo'er still kept her head down and said nothing. Though Qin Tian could not see her face, he could see the blood-red tips of her ears. He smiled. One of the Qin Clan’s old ancestors had once taught him that the fastest way to a woman’s heart was through the lower half of her body. Looks like the ancestor really hadn’t lied.
He reached out a hand. “Come with me. Didn’t you say Lin Ritian loved you? Fine, then I’ll show you whether he truly does. You can learn his real face sooner that way. If I’m lying, I’ll leave right now and never appear before you again. But if what I’m saying is true, then you’ll become my woman. How about it?”
Yan Duo'er’s eyes flickered with panic, but she quickly steadied herself. In truth, she already knew the answer in her heart. With Qin Tian’s status, there was no reason for him to go through so much trouble just to deceive her, but if she didn’t see the truth with her own eyes, it would become a demon in her heart, tormenting her day and night, forcing her to keep lying to herself until she could never know peace.
Yan Duo'er looked at Qin Tian for a long moment before silently nodding.
“That’s a good girl.” Qin Tian grinned and kissed her cheek, then went on, “You’ve only just come back to life, and you’ve already used up so much. Moving around is hard for you. Turn back into your true form and hide on me.”
Yan Duo'er frowned. Leaning on Qin Tian, she shakily stood up, but after only a couple of steps she nearly fell again. She had been revived for so short a time, and after Qin Tian had worked her over like that, she no longer had the strength even to stand. She shot him a fierce glare. For someone so young, how was he like a beast?
Qin Tian steadied her and said with a faint smile, “Relax. Leave everything to me.”
This time she didn’t object again. She simply transformed into a Flame Sun Flower, floating in the air. Qin Tian reached out and took the flower into his hand, studied it carefully for a moment, then kissed a petal.
“A flower this beautiful, and Lin Ritian actually planted you in some wet, dark, airless sealed chamber. He was practically trying to kill you faster. It’s outright a waste of heaven and earth.”
The Flame Sun Flower swayed in Qin Tian’s hand in the breeze, and after hearing his words, the already vivid red petals seemed to turn even brighter.
With spiritual energy surging from both hands, Qin Tian protected Yan Duo'er and sent her true form into his dantian, planting her inside his own body.
Yan Duo'er shuddered. She knew exactly what that meant. It meant Qin Tian valued her immensely. Ordinary cultivators would fuse certain heavenly treasures into their dantian so the divine object could nourish the dantian while the dantian’s spiritual energy fed back into the treasure, but only things that were extremely important to the cultivator, or extremely powerful things, would be allowed into the dantian.
As the heir-apparent of the Great Thousand Dao Domain, Qin Tian’s status was beyond lofty, yet he actually placed this ordinary, ubiquitous Flame Sun Flower into his dantian. Yan Duo'er felt complicated and didn’t know what to say.
Within Qin Tian’s dantian, gentle spiritual energy wrapped around Yan Duo'er, slowly nourishing her and helping her recover her spiritual power and soul. Yan Duo'er felt an unprecedented sense of peace, and much of the hatred she had held toward Qin Tian faded away.
Qin Tian glanced around and casually picked another ordinary Flame Sun Flower from the ground. With one step, he vanished from where he stood, returned to the cave, and inserted the ordinary flower in his hand onto the little mound of earth. Then he marked the cave with a trace of spiritual energy and left.
