"You think I wouldn't dare!"

Jiang Yuan shoved Ning Yanlan down onto the bed and pulled her into his arms in the most brutal and forceful way. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm giving you one last chance. I only need one question: are your feelings for me real or fake?"

"Feelings!" Ning Yanlan laughed self-deprecatingly, "How could I possibly have feelings?"

These words completely drove Jiang Yuan to the brink of madness. He ripped off his clothes, and then...

Ning Yanlan went from being calm at the beginning to trembling at the end, and a tear involuntarily fell from her tightly closed eyes.

Jiang Yuan's movements came to an abrupt halt. In the instant he regained his senses, he realized what a foolish thing he had done and quickly got up from Ning Yanlan.

"I'm sorry, I..." Jiang Yuan apologized, pressing his temples with a complicated expression.

"No need to apologize, this is what you deserve. If you haven't vented enough, I'll continue to cooperate with you!" Ning Yanlan turned her back to Jiang Yuan, her tone cold and harsh, as if she were facing a stranger.

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan was filled with rage. He abandoned his apologetic tone and said coldly, "Put your clothes on. You make me want to vomit!"

Ning Yanlan sat up and silently put on her clothes without explaining.

"Give me an explanation, or I will stand by and do nothing until the source of the battlefield is destroyed!" Jiang Yuan asked as he put on his clothes.

Ning Yanlan put her white robe back on, then said firmly, "You won't!"

"Don't wear this, it disgusts me!" Jiang Yuan ripped off her white robe, his fluctuating emotions hard to calm down.

"Do you think I put on a saintly facade while secretly engaging in despicable acts?" Ning Yanlan did not resist; even as her white robe was torn off, she simply stared quietly at Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan gritted his teeth. He hated Ning Yanlan's calm demeanor the most, but a last shred of reason still made him ask, "What did you mean by taking me to the Hongmeng Space that day, and what did you say?"

Ning Yanlan paused for a moment, then said frankly, "I originally wanted to enslave you directly, but you have a peculiar space within your body, so I failed!"

"Fine, you're ruthless!" Jiang Yuan said through gritted teeth.

"Ask me anything else you want to ask. After today, we will no longer be husband and wife, and I will not answer your questions!" Ning Yanlan said calmly.

"Who is behind you, directing you? Male or female?" Jiang Yuan originally only intended to ask the first one, but unconsciously blurted out the question about gender.

"I can't answer that!" Ning Yanlan shook her head.

"Ning Yanlan!" In a fit of impulse, Jiang Yuan gripped her shoulders tightly, leaving several red marks on her smooth, jade-like shoulders from his sharp strokes. "You're afraid! Afraid that you're the one who confessed your feelings for me, so you're using this cold attitude to make me give up, and to make you give up too!"

"You think too highly of yourself. You're not that important to me!" Ning Yanlan's heart remained calm, but there was still a hint of something different in her eyes.

"I told you, whoever stands in our way, I will kill them! Why don't you believe me?" Jiang Yuan's breathing became erratic, and his heart sank slowly.

“But this time, it’s you standing in front of us! What are you going to do, kill yourself?” Ning Yanlan raised her hand and cupped Jiang Yuan’s face, her eyes showing three parts self-mockery and seven parts casualness.

"So, you just want me dead, you just want me to become that broken battle spirit!" Jiang Yuan roared hysterically.

“That’s right, I want that broken battle spirit you’ve been talking about!” Ning Yanlan’s expression remained completely unchanged.

"That's wonderful, that's wonderful!"

Jiang Yuan staggered back two steps, then suddenly burst into wild laughter: "Alright, I know the answer! We've known each other for a while, I'll grant your wish, but you have to grant mine too!"

"What do you want?" Ning Yanlan asked as if she were making a condition.

"I want you, I want you to stay by my side every step of the way, to fulfill any request I make anytime, anywhere. I want to see if you, Ning Yanlan, are a ruthless woman who will stop at nothing to achieve your goals!" Jiang Yuan said with a vengeful tone.

"So you'll obediently become a battle spirit, right?" Ning Yanlan raised her face, her once gentle expression now cold.

“Yes!” Jiang Yuan said through gritted teeth.

“Okay, but I have some requirements!” Ning Yanlan nodded.

"you say!"

Ning Yanlan thought for a moment, then said, "You must kill, keep killing! The source of the battlefield needs the nourishment of blood to grow quickly!"

"Ha, I thought you had a sense of shame and would ask me not to do anything to humiliate you!" Jiang Yuan laughed self-deprecatingly. He never thought Ning Yanlan would become like this, becoming someone whose eyes were only on their goals and nothing else.

"Can you do it? If you can't, then I'll do it myself!" Ning Yanlan stroked the Ice and Fire Scepter that Jiang Yuan had once given her.

"How could I let my woman kill someone? If anyone's going to kill, it'll be me!" Jiang Yuan smiled wickedly.

“Okay, deal!” Ning Yanlan nodded.

"Alright, since it's settled, then do as I say! First, you need to smile. Don't give me that deadpan look and cold demeanor. I want you to smile sweetly and affectionately!"

"Right now, immediately!"

...

Two major events occurred in the southern part of the city today.

First, all forces in the South City are more united than ever before, because Ning Yanlan, who controls the North City Alliance and the Crimson Blood Army, has returned to the Oath. After taking control of the three top forces in the South City, the Oath has become the undisputed leader in the South City.

Second, a notice was issued throughout the battlefield that the Demon Lord would descend in seventy-two hours.

The reason for the descent is self-evident: Ning Yanlan threw all ten thousand pieces of Demon God Blood into the source of the battlefield. The increased power of the Demon God Blood directly shortened the time it took for the Demon Lord to descend upon the South City. Even the Demon Spirit Army increased rapidly, and the tyrannical Demon Spirits could be seen everywhere in the South City.
