Upon hearing Lu Chen’s blatant threat, Yun Yudie’s Jade Fist couldn’t help but clench tightly, and the mysterious power surrounding her grew thicker, as if she might strike against Lu Chen any moment.

However, Yun Yudie ultimately restrained herself; minor impatience could ruin major plans. Moreover, even if she wasn’t willing right now, Lu Chen might soon use the Red Flower Sedan, trapping her inside and then committing violence against her.

Yun Yudie calmed her emotions, retracting the mysterious power within her. She then stared straight at Lu Chen and said, "Do you think you can make me develop feelings for you like before through these actions?"

Yun Yudie always felt that Lu Chen was attempting his old trick, seducing her to bed before cultivating familiarity, then expecting her to develop feelings for him.

She only considered Lu Chen naive; having regained the memories of an Ancestor of the Strange, regardless of how often Lu Chen seduced her, it was impossible for her to develop feelings for him—instead, her hatred towards him would only grow.

After all, in her mind, her noble identity was being threatened by a mere blood meal, becoming his plaything—this was a humiliation beyond measure for her, and one day, she would seek revenge.

Lu Chen laughed and said, "So, you are admitting you had some feelings for me in the past?"

Yun Yudie was briefly stunned but quickly returned to her icy demeanor.

"Previously, I hadn’t restored my memories, so I was beguiled by you. If you still wish to use the same tactics to beguile me, I advise you to abandon such thoughts."

Upon hearing Yun Yudie’s words, Lu Chen remained indifferent, saying, "Beguile you? That’s not my intention. I’m merely curious if humans and mysterious life can interact without the suppression of the Red Flower Sedan."

Previously, Yun Yudie’s ability to engage with him was because her mysterious power and memories were sealed deep in her Divine Soul, so during their intimate moments, Lu Chen didn’t attract her mysterious power.

Moreover, after Yun Yudie had restored her memories, their bond continued mainly due to the Red Flower Sedan thoroughly suppressing the mysterious power within her, thus preventing it from affecting Lu Chen’s body significantly.

Now, with Yun Yudie having completely regained her memories and nearly recovered her strength, Lu Chen wished to discover if, under these circumstances, his union with Yun Yudie would lead to his life force being absorbed by her mysterious power.

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Yun Yudie coldly replied, "You wish to know if humans can engage with mysterious life solely so you can continue threatening us upon leaving."

"How absurd! Even if you withstand the life force absorption of the mysterious power, once we leave this world, we Ancestors of the Strange absolutely won’t let you defile us again."

Lu Chen chuckled, "Who can predict the future?"

Indeed, Yun Yudie had guessed Lu Chen’s intentions—he wished to test now to determine if, later on, he could continue intimate relations with Yun Yudie and the others after leaving.

Simply put, he hadn’t given up yet.

No matter Yun Yudie’s past identity, she had been his woman for so many years; now she sought to leave so easily upon recovering her memories.

Lu Chen began slowly walking toward the marital bed; this time, Yun Yudie didn’t release her mysterious power externally. She thought privately, if she didn’t let Lu Chen try, this despicable man would never give up.

Since he wished to attempt it, let him—but when his life force gets absorbed, he only has himself to blame; after all, it was Lu Chen who brought this upon himself.

Not long having restored her memories, she also pondered about absorbing human life force.

Lu Chen soon reached the edge of the marital bed, and he raised a hand to gently stroke Yun Yudie’s cold and exquisitely beautiful face.

Yun Yudie remained expressionless, sitting at the bed’s edge, ignoring Lu Chen’s pig trotters.

Seeing Yun Yudie’s indifferent demeanor, Lu Chen’s urge to conquer burst forth; he gently shoved Yun Yudie onto the bed, then leaned down, capturing Yun Yudie’s red lips.

Yun Yudie stayed motionless, her eyes staring at the red canopy, seemingly lost in thought.

While kissing Yun Yudie, Lu Chen suddenly felt his life force rapidly draining away, as Yun Yudie didn’t deliberately suppress the mysterious power within her. When it flowed throughout her body, it made contact with Lu Chen.

The moment her mysterious power touched Lu Chen, it began ravenously absorbing his life force, his body’s lifespan swiftly fading.

Realizing her absorption of Lu Chen’s life force, Yun Yudie became excited. After being sealed for countless ages, she could finally absorb life force openly, making her feel pleasurable; a fleeting blush appeared on her formerly cool and pale cheeks.

Instead of wanting Lu Chen to rise, Yun Yudie now wanted him to remain—but she knew that after discovering her absorption, this despicable man would surely rise quickly, preventing further absorption.

Not anticipating Lu Chen’s actions, after a quarter-hour, instead of rising, he began moving his hands; Yun Yudie froze in surprise.

What is wrong with this guy?

Has he not realized she’s absorbing his life force?

If this continues, his body’s life force might be completely drained; potentially affecting his Divine Soul.

This won’t do; Lu Chen is vital to their plans. If something happens to him, the Tianyan Immortal Domain could collapse prematurely, with Chaos Qi swiftly erasing their memories.

Yun Yudie quickly lifted a hand, nudging Lu Chen’s chest to prompt him to rise.

Yet Lu Chen remained unmoved, his big hand sliding across her red gown, constantly removing her garments.

Yun Yudie felt speechless; this despicable man was prioritizing sleeping with her over his own life—she had lived countless ages and never encountered such a lust-driven human as Lu Chen.

Yun Yudie immediately transmitted a message to Lu Chen, "Are you insane?"

Despite receiving Yun Yudie’s transmission, Lu Chen continued unbothered.

Yun Yudie intended to push Lu Chen away; yet his life force was too tempting to part with for the time being. She thought she’d shove him away once he seemed exhausted.

Since Lu Chen’s life force was potent, he wouldn’t easily die; as long as his Divine Soul wasn’t harmed, absorbing some shouldn’t pose major issues.

As time wore on, Yun Yudie noticed Lu Chen still hadn’t risen; surprisingly, he was genuinely committed.

"Mmm!"

Yun Yudie’s protest escaped her lips before trying to push Lu Chen away, not due to her dislike for the human blood meal—though she undoubtedly loathed him—but because she aimed to preserve Lu Chen’s life.

When Lu Chen previously kissed her, his life force was already draining. If Lu Chen and her engaged in Dual Cultivation, her mysterious power entering Lu Chen’s body could result in his life force being completely absorbed by her mysterious power.
