Chapter 45: Counter-control Mu Li and Advance to Legend!
"Hey! Your husband is here!"
Ning Ye pushed Mu Li away, feigning great pain, and reminded her in a low, panting voice.
"Husband? Hehehe!"
Mu Li sneered and shook her head, a deep purple glow flashing in her beautiful, narrow eyes.
Clang!
Crown Prince Wu Chen's eyes immediately lit up with a purple arc of light. He then stood rooted to the spot like a puppet, unmoving.
"Get out!"
Mu Li shouted sharply.
"Yes!"
The Crown Prince responded mechanically with a single word. He slowly turned and left the bedchamber, even closing the palace doors tightly behind him.
"This...?"
Ning Ye was startled by the bizarre scene.
Mu Li, however, responded indifferently, "He is not this princess's husband! The Crown Prince of the Junlin Imperial Dynasty was already dead on the day of our marriage! The current Crown Prince is merely a puppet! This princess's Spirit Puppet! Therefore, neither you nor I need to pay him any mind."
Too ruthless!
Ning Ye couldn't help but gasp at her words. Even he hadn't realized that the current Crown Prince Wu Chen was actually a puppet!
At this moment, he had to admit that he was beginning to admire the methods of the Yin Yang Sect!
Just as Ning Ye was slightly lost in thought, Mu Li suddenly furrowed her brow. She abruptly grabbed Ning Ye by the neck and angrily questioned, "Your Highness, are you still enduring? What, am I so unappealing to you? You are willing to suffer the pain of being burned by scorching flames, yet unwilling to touch this princess?"
With that, the light of the Charming Spirit ignited in Mu Li's eyes again. With every breath, Ning Ye felt his body temperature rise wildly, and the lust in his eyes grew thicker.
"It's time!"
Ning Ye took a deep breath, then circulated his Profound Technique, reversing his Bloodline.
Clang!
At that moment, the Bloodline in his body reversed. An extremely abnormal flush spread from Ning Ye's cheeks. Simultaneously, the blood in his body became fervent, as if being scorched.
Ning Ye looked at the peerless face before him, a blend of aloofness and allure. His breathing gradually grew heavier, and even his eyes turned somewhat crimson. He found that the flame within his body had surged dozens of times higher than before!
"Finally, you can't hold back, can you!"
Mu Li saw the subtle change in Ning Ye and breathed a sigh of relief. Although she tried to maintain her composure, her delicate body involuntarily began to tremble at the thought of what was about to happen.
However, since she had already made her decision, she had no intention of regretting or retreating. Steeling herself, she leaned forward again and lightly kissed Ning Ye.
It was just that one kiss that made her feel something was amiss.
Her blood was burning! Her lust was surging!
At this moment, she desperately wanted to possess Ning Ye... with a complete disregard for everything else!
"What's going on?"
Mu Li's beautiful eyes widened as she stared blankly at Ning Ye, her mind frozen. The Love Gu hadn't even been planted, so why was her entire body's lust becoming so intense?
"I made a mistake! Just now, when I reversed my Bloodline... I reversed the Charming Spirit Poison! The Love Gu seems... not yet planted!"
When Ning Ye realized this, he couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed; he seemed to have been too impatient just now.
Soon, both their breaths grew heavier and heavier. In the dark bedchamber, it was unclear who made the first move. The moment their fingertips touched, it ignited a spark in their hearts. The spark, like a prairie fire, swept through their limbs and bones, reaching deep into their souls and stirring intoxicating ripples!
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
With each breath they took, only one thought remained in Ning Ye and Mu Li's minds:
Devour Mu Li!
Devour Ning Ye!
...
Half an hour later.
Ning Ye got up, rubbed his temples, and whispered, "This mistake... it's a big one!"
The moment his words fell, three System prompts echoed in his ears:
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining Charming Spirit Primal Yin. Your Cultivation has been upgraded to --- Legend Realm First Level!"
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for successfully counter-controlling the Love Gu and acquiring a Love Slave --- Mu Li!"
"System Tip: Host can view Mu Li's panel at any time."
Upon hearing this, Ning Ye felt the evolution of the Star Yuan in his body into Moon Yuan—a celestial power exclusive to Legend Realm experts. He nodded, muttering to himself, "Hmm! Although there was a mistake... the outcome is good, after all!"
With that, he tentatively opened Mu Li's panel as prompted by the System.
Name: Mu Li
Age: 24 years old
Cultivation: Legend Realm Seven
Identity: Saintess of Yin Yang Sect {Love Slave under the effect of Love Gu}
Bloodline: Charm Spirit Saint Body
Beloved: Ning Ye {under the effect of Love Gu}
System Tip: Host can activate the Love Gu at any time.
"Good heavens... it really succeeded!"
Ning Ye exclaimed in surprise as he looked at Mu Li's character panel.
He glanced again at the sleeping Mu Li behind the light gauze of the bed curtains and shook his head. He hadn't expected that, despite being fully prepared tonight, he still made a mistake!
But then again, since things had come to this, there was no time for overthinking. Next, he had to hurry to the Scripture Pavilion. As for activating the Love Gu or anything like that, he would deal with it later!
...
Meanwhile, after leaving the Crown Prince's bedchamber, Ning Ye executed the Eight Steps of the Heavenly Demon, transforming into a deep demonic shadow moving through the Imperial Palace.
At this moment, the Imperial Palace was heavily guarded, with waves of Imperial Guards continuously patrolling the entire palace.
Fortunately, all the experts in the Imperial Palace had gone out to search for the Empress, so Ning Ye still arrived very smoothly at the Scripture Pavilion, located in the northern corner of the Imperial Palace.
The Scripture Pavilion, also known as the Swan Tower!
The Swan Tower had nine floors, housing tens of thousands of volumes of Martial Skills, Cultivation Techniques, formations, and many great figures' Dao comprehension notes collected by the Junlin Imperial Family.
After Ning Ye pushed open the black Profound Gate, he went straight up. He wasn't very interested in the Cultivation Techniques collected by the Junlin Imperial Dynasty, so he didn't stop for even a second. Thus, he quickly arrived at the ninth floor Forbidden Land of the Swan Tower!
Here, a huge bronze gate stood, covered by a powerful formation containing immense energy, far too strong for even a Legend Realm expert to contend with!
"Fortunately, the secret jade is in hand! Otherwise, it would have been troublesome!"
Ning Ye muttered. His gaze locked onto a groove on the bronze gate, which was also the eye of the formation.
Clang!
Ning Ye unhesitatingly raised his hand and inserted the secret jade into the eye of the formation. The next second, the formation's energy quickly froze.
Feeling the formation extinguish like a candle in the wind, Ning Ye stepped forward, placed his hand on the giant bronze gate, circulated his Moon Yuan, and pushed it open without hesitation.
Rumble!
The bronze gate slowly opened.
One by one, the ever-burning lamps on both sides of the deep corridor lit up, illuminating the entire Ancient Hall!
The Ancient Hall was very large and spacious, but only an ancient altar stood in its center.
At the center of the altar, flames surged!
Around the flames, three divine artifacts floated!
A jade bottle, containing a drop of blood that emitted a scorching Dragon's breath—red and enchanting as magma. This was precisely the blood of the Red Dragon Ning Ye was looking for!
A completely black greatbow, containing an unfathomable and mysterious power like an abyss. This was the Dragon Slaying Bow Jun Qianyue wanted!
And a Dragon Scale Armor, cast from Dragon scales, with defense considered unparalleled in the world!
"Finally... found it!"
Ning Ye looked at the three supreme treasures on the altar and let out a long sigh of relief. He stepped towards the altar.
Hard work pays off. The second Seal of the Reverse Moon Heavenly Saber could finally be lifted!
