Bu Yao was incredibly surprised. She had imagined that he was a very handsome human, or she had imagined that he was a very ugly human, but she never expected that she had met this human before.
"Holy Maiden, it's been a long time!" Jiang Yuan smiled awkwardly. He really couldn't escape the law that it's easier to make a move on someone you know.
"It was you!" Bu Yao's emotions wavered slightly, but her long-established habit still made her quickly draw her dagger. "But you'll die!"
Bu Yao acted ruthlessly, truly intending to take Jiang Yuan's life.
"Hurry up!" Jiang Yuan had no strength to resist, but his gaze remained fixed on the light pattern, which was a light-based technique—Light Moon.
With a crack, the same sound of the patterns shattering rang out. Jiang Yuan broke free from the Holy Coffin's restraints at the last moment, but Bu Yao's dagger was already at his heart, so he had no choice but to raise his hand to block it.
Sizzle!
The dagger passed through his palm, but ultimately failed to pierce his heart.
Drip, drip, the coffin was completely silent, except for the blood dripping down the dagger onto Bu Yao's face.
"Crazy woman!"
Jiang Yuan endured the pain and pinned Bu Yao's hands down, leaning forward to press against her. He looked at her fiercely and said, "Everyone here has their strength suppressed. If you think you can kill me, feel free to try!"
"Let's give it a try!" Bu Yao's face flushed because she was being pressed so close to the scent of the opposite sex, so even though her tone was unusually angry, it was turning into a shy one.
However, this shyness was just an act; she quickly drew her dagger and stabbed Jiang Yuan again.
"You're ruthless. Let's see who dies first today!" Seeing that this woman was determined to fight to the death today, Jiang Yuan stopped holding back.
The two fought for more than half an hour, each displaying their unique skills, but ultimately the battle ended inconclusively due to environmental factors.
"You bastard, if you don't move, I'll hit you!" Bu Yao threatened through gritted teeth. This shameless man had been pressing down on her the whole time, how could she not feel ashamed and angry?
"Huff! Huff!" Jiang Yuan was panting heavily. His mind was becoming increasingly chaotic when he was fighting with Bu Yao, but he couldn't figure out why.
"Don't play dead, I know you're doing this on purpose!" Bu Yao bent her knee and slammed it into his groin. "If you don't get up, I'll castrate you first, and then sell you to a brothel!"
"You're such an unreasonable woman! How about you take the top and I'll take the bottom, and see how you get off me!" Jiang Yuan gripped her right wrist tightly with his left hand. She had stabbed him at least a dozen times. If his self-healing potential hadn't been suppressed by the Holy Coffin, he would have been dead long ago. So, if he didn't hold onto the crazy woman's hand, he would have died at her hands sooner or later.
"I don't care, just don't touch me!" Knowing she was in the wrong, Bu Yao started acting unreasonably. Since the two of them were suppressed and unable to levitate, they could only get along in this awkward way.
"Okay, you go first!" Jiang Yuan grabbed her shoulder and turned to the side to change positions, but because of Bu Yao's resistance, the two of them ended up stuck at the bottom, facing each other.
"Don't move!"
Bu Yao covered her face with one hand, and after speaking, she turned around gently. The two movements seemed to be to calm some kind of restless emotion.
At this moment, Jiang Yuan also noticed the problem, because not only was Bu Yao acting strangely, but he himself was also acting strangely.
"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Yuan asked. He had been lying in the narrow and confined holy coffin for most of the day, and he needed to check if something was wrong.
Bu Yao did not answer his question, and the two fell silent together, a rare occurrence, with only the sound of their heartbeats echoing in the sacred coffin.
For a full ten minutes, Jiang Yuan still couldn't suppress the restlessness in his heart. He asked in confusion, "Don't you feel like you're being burned by fire?"
When he uttered the word, he suddenly understood that they must have been under the influence of some strange drug, which, if he was not mistaken, was the same fragrance that emanated when the Sun and Moon Saint King disappeared.
Bu Yao's pupils dilated. She sat up like a startled rabbit, then hugged her knees and shrank into a corner at the other end of the sacred coffin. She said in a trembling voice, "What do you mean!"
Jiang Yuan tried to move to the other side, mimicking her movements, but the space in the Holy Coffin was clearly insufficient, making it impossible for him to sit comfortably like Bu Yao. He could only lie half-reclined and asked, "Do you think we might have been drugged by that Sun and Moon Saint Lord?"
"Drug it!" Bu Yao realized something.
"Don't worry, it's clear that the drug works slowly, but one thing is certain: although it works slowly, once it takes effect, it's something we can't resist!" Jiang Yuan had never considered having a relationship with a woman from the Holy Spirit Clan, so he was extremely resistant to being drugged and naturally didn't want it to happen.
"You...you...you need to control yourself!" Bu Yao stammered.
"You're so prejudiced! Why don't you just say you can't control yourself? Do you really think you're incredibly attractive to men?" Jiang Yuan scoffed.
"That's right, we can accept the inheritance. Once we've received all the inheritance, we can leave this awful place!" Bu Yao suddenly thought of something, and her expression became excited.
She knew what kind of drug she had been given, but she wasn't sure if something would happen between them in this environment where their powers were suppressed.
"What a pity, I can't accept the inheritance!" Jiang Yuan said deliberately.
"You're kidding me! I saw you absorb the light patterns just now, isn't that the inheritance of the light system!" Bu Yao said harshly without saying anything more, and kicked Jiang Yuan.
"Woman, don't push your luck!" Jiang Yuan dodged to the side and threatened, "If you piss me off, believe me, we'll both be waiting to die!"
He roughly understood why the Sun and Moon Saint Lord had said whether the two would stay together or go their separate ways; it turned out that the old man had acted as a fake matchmaker, forcibly tying the knot.
Bu Yao gritted her teeth in hatred, but there was nothing she could do. She only had the Dark Element, while the Sun and Moon Saint Lord had two kinds of inheritance. If she didn't get Jiang Yuan's help, she would have to stay in the Saint Coffin for at least several months. She couldn't imagine what would happen if she stayed in this narrow coffin for several months with this 'wolf-like' man.
"Speak, what are your conditions!" Bu Yao asked calmly. She had already made up her mind that as soon as she came out of the Holy Coffin, she would kill this man and would never let him reveal even a little bit about what happened inside the Holy Coffin.
"Isn't this the right way to talk? Let me tell you, I, Jiang Yuan, have a moral bottom line. Arson, murder, rape, and looting..."
"Stop! I don't want to hear your nonsense. Just state your terms!"
In Bu Yao's eyes, Jiang Yuan was already a corpse, it was only a matter of time before he died, so what difference did it make if she gave him more things, in the end he would still end up in her hands.
“Alright, one price, 100,000 ninth-tier Holy Spirit Stones!” Jiang Yuan said with a smile.
"Okay, here you go!" Bu Yao practically gritted her teeth as she tossed out a storage ring.
"Great!" Jiang Yuan was overjoyed; he had never earned money so easily before.
Life is precious, love is even more valuable, but if you have a rich woman's handbag, you can throw both away. There's a tiny bit of truth to that!
"Now that we've accepted the Holy Spirit Stone, let's leave each other alone and receive our own inheritance!"
With a whoosh, Bu Yao drew a line on the coffin lid, and considering that Jiang Yuan was a bit big, she deliberately left him more space, which was quite considerate.
