Chapter 189: Chapter 158: Jade Flood Dragon Fairy

To be honest, even setting aside the factor of the Charm Art, this Jade Flood Dragon Fairy Ji Yunrou is truly the top of the class among beauties. What normal man wouldn’t be tempted?

Her alluring eyes and the way she bit her red lips made even Lu Qian’s heart race.

But Lu Qian’s hand was firmly gripped by Senior Sister Qingfeng, and he could feel her originally soft and delicate hand turn stiff with tension. He pretended not to hear Ji Yunrou’s emphasis, "Compensation? How does Lady Ji plan to compensate?"

Unexpectedly, Ji Yunrou gave Lu Qian a resentful glance, took a step forward, and her swaying figure beneath her skirt was completely revealed, fair and delicate.

"Sect Leader Lu, why pretend not to understand?" Ji Yunrou’s voice turned sweetly seductive, reaching deep inside one’s heart, "Dear sir, does this modest appearance please your eyes? I am willing to serve you in exchange for Elder Ling’s life."

Such bluntness left Lu Qian momentarily stunned. The demonic aura rolled in, and even though his Divine Sense naturally formed into a barrier, a surge of warmth rose from his belly, setting his whole body ablaze. Facing this Jade Flood Dragon Fairy, all the cultivators were left with their mouths agape, dumbfounded and motionless.

Even Jiang Qingfeng, who was his kin of the same gender, felt a thread of seductive emotion rise from her toes, directly reaching her heart. Her thoughts wandered sensuously, and a blush spread across her cheeks as she involuntarily let out a soft moan.

"Shameless!"

An angry shout suddenly reverberated throughout the scene as Guh Niqiang’s body was engulfed in raging flames. In a flash, she appeared in front of Ji Yunrou, raising her hand for a strike!

Within her slender palm, a pale white flame suddenly gathered, where a small Golden Crow circled, slashing directly toward Ji Yunrou’s face.

Ji Yunrou let out a delicate cry as a white serpent phantom behind her raised its head. Her soft and tender right palm suddenly turned green, filled with a bone-chilling cold that was terrifying to behold.

As the Golden Crow Cyan Flame howled in, she faced it head-on with a light tap.

A sharp and piercing explosion rang throughout the scene as the two palms met. The platinum flame surged skyward, engulfing Ji Yunrou in a giant fiery whirlpool!

The white-scaled giant serpent behind Ji Yunrou twisted violently, its dazzling white scales surging like waves. The overpowering force of Guh Niqiang’s palm was radiantly passed through the scales, completely dissipating onto the ground.

With a loud crash, the bluestone ground within five zhang of Ji Yunrou exploded to pieces!

In the next moment, the flames that should have flared higher seemed to meet severely cold air currents and astonishingly disappeared into nothing.

Guh Niqiang twisted her body, taking a step back. The golden brilliance in her eyes grew brighter and brighter, and a smile of delight spread across her face, "Interesting indeed."

Ji Yunrou stood in place, gazing at her scorched palm, furrowing her elegant brows and coyly saying, "Sister, you hurt me."

As she spoke, she gave her hand a flick, and with a ripping sound like cloth tearing, her palm’s skin suddenly split into several pieces and peeled away, revealing a fresh and tender, boneless delicate hand before everyone once more.

Molting?

The excitement on Guh Niqiang’s face grew even more intense. Just as she was about to pounce again, Lu Qian’s solemn voice came from behind, "Elder Guh, hold for now; it is not yet the time for a fight to the death."

With layers of people three deep surrounding the Yunshan Sect and Divine Flood Dragon Sect, nearly a thousand cultivators had gathered. Only after witnessing the lightning-fast exchange between two Foundation Establishment Feather Scholars did the onlookers react, bursting into enthusiastic cheers as if they were watching a grand martial arts tournament.

Only then did the sinister young man Ling Xuzi react, rising to stand alongside his sect leader, while an Ink-Scale Python coiled around his shoulder.

"Sect Leader Lu does have compassion for me." Ji Yunrou, with tears brimming, patted her chest, instantly creating an alluring wave, "Sister, don’t get jealous. I only want to compensate your sect leader."

The danger in Guh Niqiang’s glare intensified as Lu Qian decisively declared, "Lady Ji’s kind intentions, I am regrettably unable to accept. If you truly wish to protect Ling Xuzi’s life, I could sell face to Liangxiang County and settle this with a fine of ten thousand Spirit Stones, and the matter will be considered closed."

"You little brat! You—" Ling Xuzi’s angry shout was interrupted by Ji Yunrou.

At this moment, eighty Qi Cultivation Elites of the Shuangye Alliance tightly encircled the area. A five-colored light shone from Lu Qian’s embrace, while Guh Niqiang’s sharp eyes were locked onto Ji Yunrou, seemingly waiting for any sign of refusal.

From the moment Ji Yunrou appeared, the best moment to execute Ling Xuzi had passed, causing Lu Qian to change his plans. Should Ji Yunrou provide sufficient compensation, sparing Ling Xuzi’s life temporarily would not be a bad option.

But if Ji Yunrou were to truly refuse, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Shuangye Alliance could not let their reputation suffer any loss by letting the tiger return to the mountain. They would have no choice but to spare no effort; Guh Niqiang would hold Ji Yunrou, while Lu Qian and the elites would put an end to Ling Xuzi.

As the atmosphere on the scene reached a freezing point and Lu Qian’s killing intent peaked, Ji Yunrou suddenly broke into a smile, as captivating and dangerous as a blooming poppy.

"Well, since it was our sect elder who made the mistake first, what else can I do? I’ll comply with Sect Leader Lu. Here are ten Spirit Crystals, I offer them with both hands, and the excess can count as compensation for damaging the road here."

With that, the enchanting Jade Flood Dragon Fairy, from her broad and white chest, took out a delicately fragrant Storage Pouch, stepping lightly toward Lu Qian.

Jiang Qingfeng huffed with anger, refusing to let her approach Lu Qian, stepped forward, and took the Storage Pouch.

Ji Yunrou, far from being upset, jested, "Of course, with such beauties at Sect Leader Lu’s side, no wonder he dismisses me."

She then warmly said to Jiang Qingfeng, "My lovely sister, seeing as you’re still pure as an untouched cloud, you may not fully grasp how to keep a man close. I’ll teach you a few practical tricks, surely keeping your sect leader firmly by your side."

With a flushed face, Jiang Qingfeng shoved the Storage Pouch into Lu Qian’s hands, turned away, and stopped looking at her.

Ji Yunrou giggled and said to Lu Qian, "Dear sir, I’ve paid the fine, surely now you’ll forgive us? Could it be that you still think my surrender is insufficient?"

She gave Lu Qian an alluring glance, "I reside at the Gathering Immortals Tower in this marketplace, Room No. 1. When Sect Leader Lu comes by, I promise to be very, very soft..."

What a seductress. Knowing full well that each word and action of this woman was a dangerous Charm Art, yet still a flame ignited in one’s heart, difficult to suppress.

Guh Niqiang blocked Ji Yunrou in front, coldly spat, "Lu Qian, just kill them, and all the money will be yours."
