Chapter 72 The Beauty Abducted by the Queen 13
But back then, I couldn't bear to let you suffer the pain of dual cultivation.
A powerful light, no less intense than the one that had cleaved space with the strange bone pendant, burst forth from Wan Qiyan Jing. Jiang Yiqing's eyes stung slightly. She blinked, then looked at her again, and saw a completely different Wan Qiyan Jing.
Her once jet-black hair had turned silver, radiating a soft, moonlit glow. Her eyes had changed from jet black to red, yet a dark aura surrounded her, creating a contradictory atmosphere of both purity and aloofness, as if she were trapped in a dark abyss. Her wounds healed at a visible speed, and when she met Jiang Yiqing's eyes, the playful pleasure in them seemed impossible to conceal.
Wan Qiyan Jing reached out his hand to Jiang Yiqing. Jiang Yiqing immediately felt an invisible hand pushing her from behind. Before she could even resist, a strong force pulled her to Wan Qiyan Jing's side.
With a wave of her other hand, Wanqi Yanjing transformed the entire Qintai Palace into the Qin Kingdom's royal palace. The chairs they sat on became red soft couches, and the curtains inside the palace were lowered, filling the air with fragrance and an indescribable ambiguous atmosphere.
How did Wanqi Yanjing become like this? If she has fallen into demonic possession, wouldn't the other three kingdoms have a reason to unite and attack her? Why would she risk putting herself in such an unjust position just to regain her lost power?!
A tearing sound rang out, drawing Jiang Yiqing's attention back. Wan Qiyanjing stretched out her graceful hand, lifted Jiang Yiqing's chin, and said, "My injuries have not yet fully healed, so I will use you as my furnace to cultivate together and restore my original phoenix body."
"What furnace?" Jiang Yiqing was dumbfounded. Moreover, Wan Qiyanjing had a powerful corrosive force. She felt dizzy from the depths of her head as soon as she got close, so she tried to break free from her embrace.
Wanqi Yanjing grabbed her and pressed her beneath him, looking down at her with a crazed interest in his red eyes: "Didn't the Zhai Kingdom send you into my palace precisely to use you as a furnace to harm my Phoenix Pill? It's just that I couldn't bear to let you suffer the pain of dual cultivation back then. Do you think you can escape it today?"
“…Right…right, I am the reincarnation of the Vermilion Fruit from the Wutong Divine Tree.” Jiang Yiqing remembered her own setting and hurriedly said, “As a phoenix, aren’t you not allowed to cultivate with me?”
Wan Qiyan breathed intimately on Jiang Yiqing's neck, his sharp canines occasionally pricking her and bringing a tingling, numb sensation. Jiang Yiqing felt her carotid artery right under his fangs, and she was so frightened that she dared not move.
"No, after the poisonous thorn is removed, you are the most suitable person to be my furnace." Wan Qiyan Jing chuckled in a low voice, like a demonic whisper, making Jiang Yiqing feel as if her sanity was about to collapse.
"Wh...what?" Jiang Yiqing asked, confused.
"Just remember the pleasure I brought you, and be completely immersed in it. That would be the best choice for you." Wan Qiyan's voice seemed to have a kind of bewitching quality, and Jiang Yiqing's consciousness began to blur as she listened.
All she could remember were her words, and she thought, "This isn't so bad, being able to be happy forever... how wonderful that would be..."
That's settled then.
You don't need to think about anything.
Before she knew it, she was lying obediently in Wan Qiyan Jing's arms. Her beautiful face was so close to her, and her lips and tongue were kissing her passionately and aggressively. Jiang Yiqing was so comfortable that she couldn't think of anything else.
She closed her eyes, like a fish falling into gentle water, so comfortable that she forgot this wasn't a place for her. She only felt as comfortable as if she were melting into water.
Her voice, her touch, her temperature—everything about her was so comforting.
However, just as she was about to sink to the bottom of the water, a blinding red suddenly flashed before her eyes. She opened her eyes and saw the scarlet in her own eyes, so eerie and beautiful, yet so demonic.
"My beloved concubine, why are you looking at me like that?" Jiang Yiqing heard her voice, which seemed both very close and very far away: "Why are you resisting me... Aren't you feeling quite comfortable?"
Jiang Yiqing's ears seemed to only be able to hear her own voice, but in an instant she heard something more—a cacophony of noises, among which her own moans were exceptionally clear, echoing high and low like a ballad.
Shocked by her terrible condition, Jiang Yiqing struggled to get up, but Wan Qiyan gently pressed her down. His red eyes were closer to her, and upon closer inspection, she could see a dangerous and displeased light in them. Jiang Yiqing had a feeling that she was being targeted by a demon.
Yes, this isn't Wan Qiyan Jing; she's become possessed by a demon.
She cannot give in to despair.
She must be herself.
She cannot be seduced by this demon; she cannot listen to her!
Suddenly, a golden light flashed on Jiang Yiqing's forehead. In a moment of panic, Wan Qiyan Jing instinctively dodged away, reached out a finger to touch his face, and found a small wound that was bleeding.
"This trick again! Who are you? How dare you hurt me?" As Wan Qiyan Jing's angry voice rang out, Jiang Yiqing's consciousness began to return.
She sat up warily and bought a sharp dagger from the system to bolster her courage. She pointed the dagger at Wan Qiyanjing and said, "Get off me."
"...?" Wan Qiyan was clearly surprised, but then he revealed a lewd and ambiguous smile: "You were enjoying yourself just now, but now you're turning your back on me. Isn't that a bit much, my beloved concubine?"
Jiang Yiqing put the clothes she had just bought back on, looked at her, and said, "Wanqi Yanjing, you've fallen into demonic possession. Just wait until all the countries unite to deal with you."
Wanqi Yanjing looked at her and shook her head regretfully. She put on her black robe and pointed towards the door of the Qintai Hall. Jiang Yiqing heard the door of the hall open again and a group of people walked in.
The leader was a woman with fox ears, next to a stunningly beautiful woman, and behind them were more than a dozen people.
"We have come here specifically to follow the Demon Lord," the crowd said in unison.
"It's been sixteen years. How have you all been?" Wan Qiyan asked with a hint of consolation in his voice.
"Reporting to the Demon Lord," the lovely woman with fox ears said, "Luo Li is doing well. How is the Demon Lord?"
"Back then, you made a promise with us that you would not see us again unless there were special circumstances. Now that the evil spirit has reappeared, and we are all affected by it." The cold and beautiful woman looked at Wanqi Yanjing and said, "The Demon Lord seems to have changed as well. Is it true that no one can escape the evil spirit's affliction?"
Jiang Yiqing's mind cleared up when she saw the group of people. She remembered that when she came in, she did see the words "Luo Li" written on a desk. Combined with Wan Qiyan's words "sixteen years have passed", could these people be her old friends from the Demon Cave?
Were these people the ones who were abducted by the Demonic Sect along with her? Now they call her Demon Lord. Could it be that with the disappearance of the sealing effect of the Strange Bone Jade Pendant, these people who once suffered from "Bone-Piercing Ulcer" have also fallen into demonic ways again?
Despite being called fallen demons, they all look quite normal and maintain a high level of rationality. Rather, they are influenced by demonic arts but still retain their humanity.
“I did not become like this because of the influence of evil spirits,” Wanqi Yanjing said. “I consumed my half of the corrupted Phoenix Pill.”
"So, Lord Demon Lord was attacked?" Luo Li asked worriedly.
Jiang Yiqing felt inexplicably guilty. At that moment, someone noticed her and asked, "Who is this woman beside the Demon Lord?"
"She is my beloved concubine." Wan Qiyan Jing put his arm around Jiang Yiqing's waist and affectionately licked her face, startling Jiang Yiqing so much that she staggered.
Everyone was quite surprised to see the two being so intimate.
"Yiqing, why don't you say hello to everyone?"
"..." Jiang Yiqing hesitated for a moment, not wanting to make enemies immediately, and said, "I am Jiang Yiqing."
This insincere greeting still provoked dissatisfaction. The aloof woman said, "We've heard a lot of gossip on our way here. Demon Lord, is your injury perhaps because of this woman?"
"It is not a wise move for you to come to the Di Kingdom alone from the Qin Kingdom."
"It has nothing to do with me." Jiang Yiqing thought for a moment and decided to tell everyone the truth. She had asked the system beforehand, and the system did not stop her. So she said, "You may not believe it, but I am really innocent. That day, I met your Demon Lord on the battlefield. That day was my first day in this world. A lot of things happened afterward, and she was indeed injured because of me, but I don't know why that happened."
"Tsk..." the aloof woman said, "There's such a thing?"
“Everything I said is true.” Jiang Yiqing looked at Wan Qiyanjing and said, “I didn’t mean to hurt you. It was wrong of me to take the Yigu Langhua Pendant. I apologize to you.”
"Apologize?" Wanqi Yanjing laughed, "My beloved concubine, there's no need to be so formal. You're already mine, so naturally I won't mind my little trinkets occasionally causing mischief. It's a kind of fun, isn't it?"
"..." Jiang Yiqing felt that she must have gone mad, no, it was that Wan Qiyan Jing, after being demonized, lacked even more empathy than before. Communication was already difficult, and now there was absolutely no possibility of communication.
"Since the Demon Lord has said so, we have nothing more to say." Luo Li asked, "Please give the order, Demon Lord, to summon us here. What are your instructions?"
"Take back the Strange Bone Jade Pendant." Wanqi Yanjing turned around with a flick of his sleeve, elegant and graceful: "Luo Li, from now on you will be the Left Protector, and Ming Lai, you will be the Right Protector."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
While playing with Jiang Yiqing's hair, Wan Qiyanjing leaned down to smell her fragrance. Jiang Yiqing had nowhere to retreat, and when she noticed that everyone was watching them, she felt even more pressured.
"Tell Jiang Yuxiu that if she wants to find someone, she should come to Yuwei Hill for the appointment."
Jiang Yiqing protested in a low voice, "This has nothing to do with my elder sister. Why are you looking for her?"
Wan Qiyanjing seemed troubled as he buried his head in her, uttering chilling words: "My demonic powers surpass even those of the High Priest back then, so why are you still able to remain conscious?"
