Chapter 25: Jianmu's Glory and the Demon King's Fangs
Jianmu's Glory and the Demon King's Fangs
A milky white halo, like a sudden spark in the darkness, gently yet firmly dispelled the swirling soul-sinking fog. The thick, cold mist, tinged with endless resentment, faced this pure, warm light, as if encountering its natural enemy. It uttered a silent shriek and retreated like a tide, forming a relatively "safe" spherical space, approximately ten feet in diameter.
The core of the light was the unassuming, even somewhat worn, half-broken broom handle. It lay quietly on the mossy ground beside Jiang Xuelan's waist, as if it had slumbered for millennia, only now awakened by some opportunity, emitting a reassuring, holy light.
This light not only dispelled the encroaching Soul-Sinking Mist, but also completely obliterated the whispers of the departed souls, leaving only an almost sacred tranquility. The once shaky aura of the Heart-Slaying Contract, enhanced by this white light, became unusually solid and stable, its energy consumption drastically reduced.
However, Jiang Xuelan had no time to marvel at this miraculous change at the moment.
He froze completely.
Li Jiuyou's heavy, hot body pressed down firmly against her body, and waves of sharp, numbing pain shot through her lower back, as if her lumbar spine had been crushed into powder. But all of this was far less powerful than the impact of the touch on her collarbone!
Warm, moist, with a slightly rough friction feeling.
Li Jiuyou's teeth were biting a small piece of skin on his left collarbone, neither lightly nor heavily. His hot breath sprayed on the crook of his neck and just below his earlobe, bringing waves of tingling itchiness to his scalp. He could even clearly feel the outline of his lips and the hardness of his teeth!
**This stupid monster...he's actually...still holding it in his mouth?!**
A mixture of excruciating pain, suffocation, extreme shame, and absurd rage surged like magma in Jiang Xuelan's chest! The churning ice fragments and the curse of "stripping" in his sea of consciousness were shattered by this raging rage! His pale cheeks flushed crimson, veins throbbing on his forehead, and a substantial, soul-crushing icy flame ignited in his icy blue eyes!
"Li Jiuyou! Let go!!!" A low roar, filled with suppressed murderous intent, practically emanated from the depths of his throat, resembling the friction of icy shards. He lifted his free right hand, gathering what little icy energy remained. With a gleam of cold light at his fingertips, he was about to thrust a powerful thrust into the back of Li Jiuyou's neck! If this thrust landed, even if the Demon King's neck was strong, he would faint on the spot!
At this critical moment——
Li Jiuyou, who was pressing on him, suddenly let out a muffled groan of pain and extreme discomfort. His tightly furrowed brows twitched violently several times, and his red-gold eyelashes trembled violently like a dying butterfly, struggling to open a crack!
His red-gold eyes, tinged with the extreme confusion and weakness of a severely injured coma, briefly lost focus. The first thing he felt was the object in his mouth—cold, smooth, and carrying an... **indescribable, clear, and familiar scent**? Instinctively, he unconsciously pressed the tip of his tongue against the skin beneath his teeth.
Boom——!!!
Jiang Xuelan felt a surge of electricity radiate from his touched collarbone throughout his body! His entire body trembled violently, and his fingertips, which had been gathering immortal energy, trembled violently, almost poking out! His Dao heart, frozen for ten thousand years, cracked at this moment, a huge crack called "shame and indignation"!
"Damn......" Jiang Xuelan's voice was shaking.
Perhaps it was the cool touch of the tip of his tongue that made the source of the heat feel a little more comfortable, or perhaps it was the shame and anger transmitted through the Heart-Slaying Contract that almost ignited him that was too strong, Li Jiuyou's confused red-gold eyes finally managed to gather a trace of spirit with great difficulty.
His sight slowly focused.
The first thing that caught his eye was a delicate, pale skin, now tinged with an unnatural blush, and... **his nose and lips**, so close to him? Moving his gaze down a little further... there was his own slightly open mouth, holding a small piece of... **collarbone**?
Li Jiuyou: “……???”
The red-gold pupils underwent a drastic change from confusion, to bewilderment, and then to... **horrifying** within a ten-thousandth of a second!
**What the...what are you holding in your mouth?!**
A huge sense of absurdity and a strong sense of "uncleanliness" instantly swept over the Demon King! The fierce instincts of a top predator and the extreme weakness of the seriously injured Demon King intertwined, causing him to react in the most direct way -
"Ouch!" A short, low roar like a frightened beast burst out from Li Jiuyou's throat! He jerked his head back as if he had been electrocuted!
“Sizzle!”
