Seeing that her lover was about to be defeated, Ling Xue finally made her move.

As soon as Ling Xue made her move, Leng Yue and Qian Chen felt a powerful pressure, but this pressure did not seem to come from Ling Xue herself, but from the Heavenly Dao.

Leng Yue and Qian Chen exchanged a glance, "Truly a favorite of Heaven!"

Qianchen nodded, "Handle it carefully."

Ling Xue possessed numerous magical treasures, which she casually tossed around as if they were free. Leng Yue and Qian Chen were finding it increasingly difficult to cope; how could they possibly fight this? The cheating was too blatant!

Finally, Ling Xue threw out something that looked like a binding rope, binding Leng Yue and Qian Chen so tightly that they couldn't move.

"Damn, we actually failed because of a magic weapon?" Leng Yue sighed, then looked at Ling Xue, "What do you want?"

“Kill you, and he will belong to me.” Ling Xue grinned maliciously.

“You’re overthinking it,” Qianchen turned to look at Lengyue. “Even if you kill her, I won’t live on.”

“You’re not thinking about dying,” Ling Xue said with unusual confidence, clearly having something to rely on.

"I don't believe it." Leng Yue stared at Ling Xue with her neck stiff. "I don't believe my husband would fall in love with you. As long as he's alive, as long as he has a breath left, he will definitely avenge me."

"Tsk tsk tsk, she's really patheticly stupid!" Ling Xue looked at Leng Yue as if she were a pitiful worm.

"Unless you prove it to me." Leng Yue bit her lip, as if she had been provoked by Ling Xue.

"What if you lose?" Ling Xue raised an eyebrow. "None of them... can withstand the test. Do you think he can?"

Ling Xue's men were all men she had stolen. She was a strange person; she no longer believed in feelings, yet she still craved love. And coincidentally, after arriving here, she obtained all sorts of rare and precious treasures, including a method to ensure someone would be eternally loyal to her alone.

"If I lose, I will withdraw automatically. You can kill me or do whatever you want with me, I won't even flinch." Leng Yue took a deep breath and looked stubbornly at Ling Xue.

"Yueyue, I won't change my mind. Trust me." Qianchen turned to Lengyue and said. Lengyue was silent for a moment before giving a soft "hmm".

Seeing their reaction, Ling Xue smiled, took out a bead from her storage pouch, and said to Qian Chen, "You'll soon find out what happens to you."

Ling Xue held the bead in one hand and placed it against her heart. She chanted incantations, and soon the bead emitted light from between her fingers, the beam heading straight for Qian Chen's forehead.

Ling Xue stared at the beam of light, a triumphant smile on her face. Soon, Qian Chen would become her follower, and for the rest of his life, he would never again remember the name Leng Yue. But Ling Xue's smile didn't last long; it quickly froze on her face. "How could this be?"

"Where is my Heavenly Spirit Pearl? Where is my pearl?" Ling Xue watched helplessly as the beam of light traveled from Qian Chen's direction to Leng Yue's body, and soon, the Heavenly Spirit Pearl in her hand also disappeared.

Ling Xue was furious. She grabbed Leng Yue's hair and yelled, "Where did you put my Heavenly Spirit Pearl? Give it back to me!"

"Stop it, you crazy woman!" Qianchen was both angry and anxious. As soon as she used it, the ropes binding her broke inch by inch.

Qian Chen had previously slapped Ling Xue away with a single palm strike, and Ling Xue, like a tattered sack, flew high into the air before teetering on the ground. She was caught by several other men who called out her name.

Qianchen also held Lengyue and carefully examined her wounds, "Are you alright? Does Yueyue hurt?"

Leng Yue shook her head and grinned at Qian Chen, "It's nothing, I'm not in pain, I just lost a few hairs, don't worry about it."

Qianchen carefully tidied Leng Yue's hair, then held the hair that Ling Xue had pulled out in her hand. "Don't worry, your husband will avenge this!"

Leng Yue smiled and said, "Okay."

Leng Yue didn't need to intervene after that; she and Qian Chen knew their own strength. They had both undergone countless trials and tribulations to reach their current level, cultivating their abilities step by step. Apart from the initial benefits they received in the small world, they hadn't taken any shortcuts.

However, Ling Xue was different. Ling Xue's transformation from a good-for-nothing to a genius was basically all built upon her spiritual treasures. Previously, Ling Xue relied on her countless spiritual treasures to run rampant in the Sword Dao Alliance, and with the Spirit Sword Sect backing her up, she was naturally fearless.

However, she lacked cultivation of her mind; the mere disappearance of the Heavenly Spirit Pearl had already damaged her Dao heart, making her utterly vulnerable. Even without Leng Yue and Qian Chen's appearance, such a person was destined to never achieve great things. Unless she could rely on the Heavenly Dao to bestow new spiritual treasures, dominating the cultivation world would remain a pipe dream!

"Xue'er, wake up!" The man in black was most worried about Ling Xue. When Qian Chen attacked, he was the one who led Ling Xue to evade.

However, Ling Xue remained dazed, and his strength was far inferior to Qian Cheng's. Therefore, the man in black quickly became overwhelmed. In the end, he could only use his own body as a human shield for Ling Xue.

"Hand her over, and I'll spare your life!" Qian Chen was like a demon crawling out of hell. The black-clad man was pale and trembling, but he still shook his head.

"I can't abandon Xue'er." The man in black carried Ling Xue backward.

Qian Chen stopped talking, kicked a pebble from the ground, and the man in black immediately knelt down. Ling Xue fell to the ground as well, but she kept her eyes wide open, neither crying nor making a fuss, and showed no reaction.

Qian Chen walked over, intending to go to Ling Xue's side, but the man in black grabbed her leg. He held on tightly, refusing to let go. Qian Chen didn't say anything; let him hug if he wanted. And so, he used the man in black as a leg accessory.

Leng Yue looked at them, and for some reason, suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She'd never been like this before; she never expected Qian Chen's first "leg accessory" to be a man, and someone else's man at that. How confusing!

"Xue'er, run!" The man in black, ignoring his own injuries, was still trying to get Ling Xue to escape.

"Yueyue, should we kill him?" Qianchen looked at the man in black and suddenly felt a pang of pity.

Leng Yue came to Qian Chen's side, squatted down, looked at Ling Xue, and whispered, "See? I didn't lose. There's still true love in this world, isn't there?"

Tears welled up in Ling Xue's eyes. "Why? Why is my spirit pearl gone?"

"What's not yours is not yours. Even if you possess it temporarily, it will still leave when the time comes. Just like this relationship, if it's not mutual affection earned through your sincere efforts, you won't be able to hold onto it in the end." Leng Yue looked at the other seven people who had already left, then at the man in black. "Aren't the ones by your side the best? You should cherish them!"

"Why won't you leave?" Ling Xue looked at the man in black. "Are you pitying me?"

"Xue'er, I've always loved you. Even without that spirit pearl, I would still love you!" Blood trickled from the corner of the man's mouth, but his eyes were still full of love and tenderness as he looked at Ling Xue. "You've always been timid since you were little, so I've always stayed by your side. Later, you became dazzling, and I unknowingly fell in love with you..."
