Chapter 243 Eternal Void Realm 18

Yunzhen raised her hand, her slender fingertips gently touching Jin's lips, stopping him from saying what he hadn't finished.

“No need to say anything more,” she said in a low voice, but with an undeniable air, “If you still want to follow me, the first thing you need to learn is to be obedient.”

Do you understand?

She turned her fingertips into her palm and patted his cheek lightly, the movement slow and gentle. A kind of tender yet powerful aura bloomed on her exquisite face, like a lingering silk thread that entwined around the heart, carrying a heart-stirring beauty that made one willing to succumb and submit.

Jin's Adam's apple bobbed violently.

The skin touched by her palm felt branded, the burning sensation spreading wildly, coursing through his limbs and bones, making his heart clench and sending shivers down his spine.

The person before him was small and fragile, clearly as insignificant as a speck of dust, yet so dazzling that he could not look directly at her.

He knew perfectly well that she was taming him.

Yet he felt no resistance whatsoever; instead, like a thirsty traveler finding a spring of sweet water, he was irresistibly drawn into this painful domination.

A near-mad obsession and yearning surged in Jin's deep eyes, all of which ultimately coalesced into a low, hoarse response:

"Yes... Master."

The voice was broken and hoarse beyond recognition, as if each syllable had been ground on scorching sand.

He obediently lowered his head, his high, straight nose almost fawningly brushing against her slightly cool palm, his posture as devout as if he were looking up at a single deity.

That power, which could have made the world pale in comparison, now meekly retracted all its sharpness, leaving only complete surrender and immersion.

He willingly submitted and became her most loyal prisoner.

Yun Zhen smiled and gently stroked his head: "Good boy."

Verbal acceptance of a master is too easy; what she wants is complete and utter obedience, from bone to blood, from body to soul, leaving no room for impurities.

"I'm very good, Master. Can we do it again?" Jin pressed on, seizing the opportunity.

With his stamina and strength, he could probably do it a billion more times.

Yun Zhen refused decisively and pushed him, saying, "Get up right now."

Jin reluctantly got up and diligently served Yunzhen as she washed and dressed, during which time there was no shortage of sticky and sticky moments.

By the time the two finished getting ready, an hour had passed.

Upon noticing Yun Zhen's appearance, Lin Wuque and the others, who had been lingering nearby, immediately rushed closer.

"Owner!"

"Owner……"

Jin held Yunzhen tightly around the waist, glaring at the group with displeasure, wishing he could crush them into ashes.

Yun Zhen responded, "Where is Venerable Mingkong? Release him."

Previously, in response to Jhin's advances, there hadn't been a chance to deal with this person.

Xiao Chengze's eyes lit up, and he replied loudly, "Yes!"

The Venerable of the Underworld, bound tightly, reappeared on the ground.

"Gentlemen, spare my life! Give me another chance to live! I still have countless treasures, secret realms, elixirs, and magical artifacts hidden outside. I'll offer them all to you! I only ask for your life in return..."

The moment Venerable Mingkong appeared, he subconsciously begged in a mournful voice.

He had been imprisoned for too long, and all his pride and self-control had turned to ashes, leaving only the most primal desire to survive.

Yunzhen had no interest in arguing with him and dealt with him decisively.

Venerable Mingkong's strength is only on par with Yun Zhen's; he has not yet broken through to the realm of the Lord of Origins. However, for Yun Zhen, he is still a formidable force of energy.

Yunzhen absorbed this power into her body without hesitation.

After the absorption was complete, Pei Wujiu and the others handed over the prisoners they had captured to her for disposal.

After absorbing all the energy, Yunzhen felt her body surging with power, almost breaking through her limits, and urgently needed further condensation and refinement.

She raised her eyes and glanced at the seven people standing quietly to the side.

"Alright, you can continue your training."

"From now on, you don't need to capture people and send them here. It's more important to improve your strength as soon as possible."

At her current level, drawing upon ordinary power would have little effect.

Unless it's a powerful being who has reached the level of a master of origin, it's nothing more than a drop in the ocean for her.

On the contrary, Xiao Chengxu and his group still have a lot of room for improvement.

Although she still values ​​a few people, if their strength fails to meet her expectations, she will not hesitate to abandon them.

"Owner……"

Several people were reluctant to part.

They had been separated for over a thousand years, far longer than the combined time they had spent with her. After their reunion, they had barely exchanged a few words before having to part again.

Jin, however, instantly perked up, as if he had been granted some kind of pardon, and immediately barked arrogantly, "What's all the noise about! Didn't you hear what your master said? Get out of here!"

Lin Wuque's gaze swept over Jin, his lips pursed slightly, and he finally suppressed all the words he had left unsaid.

In their initial, fleeting encounter, they only felt that Jin was as deep and unfathomable as a towering mountain, yet they were ultimately separated by a hazy mist, making it difficult to truly perceive its depth.

Only now, with their own breakthroughs and increased perception, have they truly seen the suffocating distance that looms before them.

It's like looking up at the endless sky, the unfathomable abyss, an insurmountable chasm.

Every inch of sensation screams despair.

But this realization did not extinguish their will; on the contrary, it was like a spark falling into a wasteland, suddenly igniting an even more turbulent and obsessive fighting spirit.

Therefore, even if Yunzhen didn't urge them, they could no longer stay peacefully.

Lingering here is merely a result of being dragged along by an unbearable sense of reluctance and longing.

But this was only temporary. In order to one day truly stand by her side, they had no right to linger any longer.

The brief reunion, the greedy absorption of her scent and figure, was enough to sustain me through the long and lonely journey ahead.

"Master, wait for me to come back."

Lin Wuque gazed deeply at Yun Zhen, as if trying to etch her image into his very soul, before resolutely turning away and disappearing into the horizon as a streak of light.

"Master, please take care," Pei Wujiu said.

Next came Ji Zhilan and the others, who all bid farewell to Yun Zhen and then fled in different directions.

As they left, everyone's eyes were glued to Yun Zhen, greedily capturing her last silhouette.

From beginning to end, no one spared a single glance at Jin.

It wasn't fear, but a refined clarity.

Since we are outmatched at this moment, any resentful stares or superfluous words are meaningless and only make us look ridiculous.

This suffocating gap is only temporary.

One day, they will flatten that once insurmountable abyss.

At that time, he will no longer be qualified or have the power to continue to monopolize her side.
