Chapter 74 [Jiaozhu] A Jiang obtains the Jiaozhu to help Chen Lian dispel rumors
Then he picked it up again and looked at it carefully again.
"The relationship between you and me is real. Apart from that, how can they say such nonsense?" A Jiang was very angry. Chen Lian was obviously a little resistant to that kind of thing at the beginning. He could feel the first few times that Chen Lian was not very willing to be with him. How could it be like what was said in the memorial?
Chen Lian looked at A Jiang who stood up. He thought A Jiang would pick it up and look at it again, and what he would believe. When he saw A Jiang like this, he couldn't help laughing.
"Why are you still laughing?" A Jiang was puzzled. He came close to Chen Lian and handed the letter to Chen Lian to read. Then he thought of Chen Lian's sadness and covered the letter again.
"They did all this just to throw you and me off balance." Chen Lian gently stroked A Jiang's head. He naturally wouldn't admit his relationship with A Jiang in front of everyone. Once he admitted it, those things that didn't exist would become real. "I have a plan, but it requires sacrificing you."
"What? You said, I'm willing to do whatever you ask me to do."
Chen Lian looked at A Jiang like this, and felt sorry for him and a sense of guilt.
"Your mermaid pearl." He stopped stroking and pointed his finger at Ajiang's heart. As he injected his spiritual power, a faint deep blue light appeared there.
A Jiang touched Chen Lian's chest, took hold of his wrist, and pressed it against his chest.
"Here you go, I'll give you whatever you want."
Chen Lian's heart sank. Logically, he should be happy that A Jiang was willing to give him the Mermaid Pearl. With the Mermaid Pearl, he could suppress the Yang Yuan in his body and use the Heartless Dao's mental method. This way, the rumors would be self-defeating.
The mermaid pearl is the lifeline of a mermaid. When a mermaid dies, the pearl may not necessarily scatter, but if the pearl scatters, the mermaid will die. He didn't expect that Ajiang would take out the mermaid pearl and give it to him without hesitation. He didn't know whether he was happy or angry.
He was a bad man, yet Ajahn trusted him so much that he even considered himself more important than himself.
A Jiang stood up, grabbed the back of Shen Lian's neck, kissed her lips, and inserted the mermaid pearl into Shen Lian's body.
Chen Lian felt the warmth from A Jiang's lips, mixed emotions in his heart, and the breath of the ocean flowed into his body. The powerful spiritual power fluctuations even concealed the demonic aura in his body.
Chen Lian pushed A Jiang away and met his eyes. He used to think that his cultivation was already one of the best in the world of cultivation, but now he realized that A Jiang was a thousand times stronger than him. So was A Jiang pretending that he couldn't beat the merman?
"you……"
"What's wrong?" A Jiang looked at him with a hint of desire in his eyes, not understanding why he stopped when he was in the middle of passion.
"You gave me the mermaid pearl, what will you do?"
A Jiang raised the corner of his mouth, he held Shen Lian's face and pecked Shen Lian's lips affectionately.
"I don't need the shark pearl."
When A Jiang said this, there was a hint of panic in his eyes. It would be a lie to say that it was not necessary. He just didn't want to make Shen Lian worry. He just wanted Shen Lian to feel at ease and bold to do anything.
He was afraid that his eyes would reveal his true identity, so he quickly avoided her gaze and buried his face in the crook of her neck.
Chen Lian felt deceived as he listened to A Jiang's words. So A Jiang wasn't unable to defeat the dragon, but was deliberately setting a trap for her?
Voluntarily become your own slave?
In the past, Ajahn always said that he did it voluntarily and that Ajahn would not hate him or anything, but he never believed it and always thought that Ajahn had other intentions. Now he believes it.
Shen Lian pushed A Jiang away, the displeasure in her eyes almost overflowing.
A Jiang felt a chill on his back, thinking that Shen Lian had noticed something.
"You lied to me."
Just as A Jiang was about to admit it, Chen Lian added, "It's not that you can't defeat the dragon."
Hearing this, A Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that Shen Lian was talking about this matter. He thought Shen Lian had discovered that he had just lied.
"Are you deliberately seducing me?"
Ah Jiang placed his hand in front of Shen Lian's lips, "I told you before, I like you very much. From the first moment I saw you, I knew you were mine."
Chen Lian probably understood that Ah Jiang had taken a fancy to her in the sea, and then deliberately caused trouble for the dragon and got injured so that she could see it. Then she foolishly thought that such a beautiful little mermaid must be weak, but she never thought that he would send her into danger.
"So you deliberately appeared in front of me injured? So your claim that your people were also implicated by the dragon was a lie?"
"Yes, I wanted to get your attention, but it's true that we were implicated by the dragon. Those people provoked the dragon, and my people suffered. After those people were swallowed alive by the dragon, another wave of people came. I thought I would teach the next wave a lesson, so I went to the west coast and met you. That's about it."
Chen Lian was silent. It turned out that their first meeting was planned. He thought that God had finally shown his favor and let him meet someone who would love him.
However, he was plotted against, but he did not like being plotted against, and secretly took note of it in his heart.
"What's wrong? Don't be upset. I'm going to apologize to you. You can ask me to do whatever you want." After saying that, A Jiang stood up and walked behind him and untied his belt.
"No need." He stood up, picked up his belt, tidied his clothes, and left.
Seeing Chen Lian like this, A Jiang thought that he was the one who told the truth and made Chen Lian unhappy, so he followed Chen Lian out and pulled up Chen Lian's sleeve.
"Don't be upset, I really like you."
Chen Lian shook off A Jiang's hand and said, "Stop talking and follow me."
Ah Jiang closed his mouth silently, and followed Shen Lian to the meeting hall in a low voice.
The atmosphere in the meeting hall was filled with anger. The arrival of the Divine Ajaan broke the silence, and everyone's eyes fell on them.
"The sect leader has come out of seclusion. Has he seen the memorials we left on the ground?" Qian Zhao was sitting in the innermost seat. He was the head of all the elders and was in charge of the important affairs of the sect.
"I saw it." Shen Lian said lightly. He sat on the high seat and stared at Qian Zhao.
"Then why did the Sect Master bring this mermaid into the Council Hall? Doesn't the Sect Master know what the Council Hall is for?"
Chen Lian laughed contemptuously, "I am the leader of the Cang Qiong Sect. Do I need you to teach me how to do things?"
After these words were spoken, the already solemn atmosphere in the hall became even more tense.
"Don't you care about the rumors outside?"
"That's why I came here." Chen Lian raised his hand and sent a powerful wave of spiritual energy towards the elders, a spiritual energy that was consistent with theirs. "Today I have proven my innocence. If anything else happens, you know what to do, right?"
Qian Zhao frowned. It seemed that what Yu Jinlan said was not entirely right. Shen Lian did not break the Dao, so what was the point of his wasted time and energy?
"Where are the mermaids?" Qian Zhao pointed at A Jiang who was standing in the middle.
“Kneel down!”
Shen Lian said in a stern voice, which startled everyone present. They knew Shen Lian's temper and couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
Ajahn followed Chen Lian's instructions and knelt down on his knees.
Chen Lian summoned the Demon Refining Whip and walked down the stage step by step. He gripped the long handle tightly in his hand. In the past, he specially practiced the Demon Refining Whip to teach his slaves a lesson. As long as he whipped it, not to mention the demon, even he himself might not be able to bear it. When the whip touched the skin, it was not a burning pain, but the pain was transmitted to the bones, as if tens of thousands of ants were drilling into the bones bit by bit.
He was very good at using this whip. He couldn't count how many monsters had died at his hands. Now he was using this monster-refining whip again to beat his beloved.
He took a deep breath, thinking that A Jiang was so powerful, and a few whips would not have much impact.
He stood behind A Jiang. This was the first time he dealt with a demon slave in public. He swung his hand and whipped A Jiang hard. Instantly, A Jiang's clothes were torn, and his skin was also torn. He felt distressed, but he did not stop, again and again, for a total of more than twenty whips.
His heart was also in turmoil. Every swing of the whip felt like a lash to his heart. He wanted so badly to stop immediately and treat A Jiang's wound.
He threw the whip aside and said, "Well, you have seen it too. I don't care at all. It's just that his face is pretty. I can't bear to let such a beautiful demon slave die so soon."
Seeing Shen Lian like this, everyone understood in their hearts that Shen Lian was still the same as before. The elders looked at each other, and no one dared to speak.
"If you still have something to say, then try the power of this demon-refining whip." Chen Lian pointed at the whip on the ground, looked around, and finally fixed his gaze on Qian Zhao.
Qian Zhao's heart skipped a beat, his face grim. He cupped his hands and said, "I understand."
Then he left, and the others also left one after another, leaving only Chen Lian and A Jiang in the hall.
When Shen Lian saw that everyone had left, he hurried forward and knelt anxiously in front of A Jiang.
Ajiang's face was pale, with sweat mixed with blood dripping from his forehead. His lips were trembling slightly, and his clothes were torn and could not cover any piece of flesh. His fingernails were digging into the palms of his hands, and blood was dripping onto the ground. It was obvious that he was enduring great pain.
"Ajiang." Shen Lian's voice trembled. He stretched out his hand, wanting to touch Ajiang, but was afraid of aggravating his pain.
Ah Jiang raised his head with great effort. Although his eyes were blurred by pain, he still looked at Chen Lian tenderly. His voice was weak, "Is it over...?"
"Well, it's over."
When he whipped Ajahn just now, Ajahn didn't even scream, as if he didn't feel any pain. But now, looking at his face, he knew that Ajahn was in great pain.
He clearly reduced his strength, but the injuries on A Jiang's body looked no worse than those of the dead demon slaves.
"It must hurt." He touched the whip wound that exposed the flesh through the air, and his voice became unconsciously hoarse, and he was unable to speak.
"It doesn't hurt, just a minor injury."
"Is this a minor injury?" He helped A Jiang up, only to find that his legs were weak and he couldn't support himself. "It's obviously painful, why are you pretending?"
Ah Jiang forced a smile. He didn't want to worry Shen Lian, even though the pain was almost tearing him apart. Without the Mermaid Pearl, these injuries were impossible to heal on their own, not even if he used his own saliva bit by bit.
The merman no longer has the mermaid pearl, and even the self-healing ability of the saliva in his mouth has been lost. If his body is not treated properly, scars will be left on it. The scars given to him by Shen Lian are the scars he left for Shen Lian.
