Chapter 81

When it came to this, Chu Mu Yun finally realized what Shen Shui Yan wanted to do.

How smart!

Biting the bullet and going head-on was definitely impossible. Xia Qian Lan has as many tricks up his sleeves as there are hairs on a bull. Don't even mention the fact that Greed lost his memory, it wouldn't be easy for him to defeat Lust even if he hadn't.

But he kept calm and kept presenting himself as weak to get Xie Qian Lan and even Chu Mu Yun (after all, he thought Shen Yun was deeply in love with Xie Qian Lan) to let their guards down, waiting to throw down the net when they didn't think he'd do anything.

And he chose to throw the net on the battlefield, blasting Xie Qian Lan straight into the rift!

Xie Qian Lan was aware of his intentions as soon as Shen Shui Yan made his move, but it was too late.

He quickly strummed his qin with his fingers and shot out several arcs of energy that were hurling towards Shen Shui Yan, but he didn't dodge them at all. He focused all his energy on this fatal blow and he would lose his aim if he tried to dodge. This was his only chance, he can't miss it!

The attacks of the two reached each other at the same time. Shen Shui Yan's clothes were torn to shreds as the arcs swept past him. His long hair fluttered up and blood spilled out from the corners of his mouth.

However, Xie Qian Lan was in a worse spot in comparison. Even though he used his techniques to block in the last moment, Greed's full-force attack was still not to be underestimated!

It wasn't fatal, but it still forced him backwards, straight into the cracks of the rift.

Coincidentally...After sensing Xie Qian Lan's approach, a huge reverse airflow actually burst forth from the rift, sucking in everything around it in a frenzy.

Chu Mu Yun knew that the boundary walls were reacting to Xie Qian Lan.

After all, he was originally from the demon realm and his life force was more in tune with the other side. It may not be obvious when they were far away, but he was now pulled in sharply after being in such close contact.

Watching Xie Qian Lan's figure get swallowed up into the void, Shen Shui Yan braced his severely injured body and raised his sword to the air, whisking it in the air to form shapes. A scarlet light emerged at the tip of the sword, following its movements and producing a meticulous and powerful talisman.

Chu Mu Yun raised his brows as he watched the scene, appearing rather astonished.

This was Greed's best ability. Theoretically, it was similar to his arrays, but this technique was much stronger in battle. Huge amounts of energy quickly accumulated as the image was being drawn. In a super fast, extremely short amount of time, practically just the blink of an eye, the shadow of a sharp awn rushed across the sky, instantly causing the huge rift to disappear without a trace.

He really sealed Xie Qian Lan within the rift!

Chu Mu Yun quickly went into character and gazed at the empty space that once was the rift, eyes filled with astonishment. Then, he cried out, "Xie Qian Lan!"

As soon as his voice fell, he quickly rushed forward, an astonishing skill forming in his hands. And yet...he hit nothing. It did absolutely nothing.

Shen Shui Yan retracted his sword and a glimmer of light flickered at his pale fingertips, only to quickly form a flame-like talisman in the air that he quickly drew up. In Chu Mu Yun's empty daze, the mass of light transformed into a giant net, trapping Chu Mu Yun under it.

In an instant, Chu Mu Yun was unable to move. Even more terrifyingly, he couldn't use any of his spells. These changes happened so quickly that he was completely shocked. He stared at Shen Shui Yan, shouting, "What are you doing!"

Shen Shui Yan wiped away the blood at his lips and a beautiful smile emerged on his pallid face. Though inappropriate for the occasion, he smiled, "Ah Yun, you're mine now."

Hearing these words, Chu Mu Yun's pupils shrunk. "Shen Shui Yan...You..."

Shen Shui Yan came closer to him, and with force, he pressed his palm down his head, roughly forcing him to lower his head. "It's a pity I couldn't kill Xie Qian Lan, but that doesn't matter. You won't see him ever again."

As he said this, he turned his head to the side, plastering his lips on the other man's savagely and filled with dense lust.

This couldn't be considered a kiss at all. There was only the taste of blood and stinging pain in the man's one-sided aggression, but this only served to excite Shen Shui Yan even more.

He kissed him vengefully, the dark paranoia in his heart finally letting loose in a frenzy. He so wished he could just strip him off right now, to make him feel even more pain and unease. He wanted his body to remember who it really belonged to!

But unfortunately, it wasn't the right time yet. The rifts have not all been fully sealed yet, he couldn't let Xie Qian Lan escape.

After that vicious kiss, Shen Shui Yan spoke to him with the tips of his nose still touching Chu Mu Yun's, "Wait patiently like a good boy. If you don't want them to know you're a demonic beast, then obey my words."

Zero, "...Do all scum tops have such consistently circuited brains? All their threats sound the same."

Chu Mu Yun, "Not my fault they think I'm the nation's hero who cares about his people."

Zero, "..." What a beautiful misunderstanding. However...please continue the misunderstanding! Pikachu!

Chu Mu Yun was completely stunned. "Xiao Yan, what are you saying..."

Shen Shui Yan laughed coldly. "Your bestial form reveals itself when you're feeling good down there, huh?"

As soon as he said that, Chu Mu Yun understood completely. "You actually..."

"What, you never expected anyone to see you when you couldn't hold yourself back and seduced another man in the middle of nowhere?" Shen Shui Yan bit down hard on his neck as if he were taking revenge on him, only responding after he saw the blood. "Don't try to stall for time. I won't give Xie Qian Lan the opportunity to return."

Shen Shui Yan was just about to turn away when Chu Mu Yun suddenly pulled him back hard. There was a complicated look in his gaze, but he still spoke. Almost pleading, he said, "Let Xie Qian Lan go, he..."

This single sentence smoothly ignited the anger welling up in Shen Shui Yan's chest. He shook off his hand forcefully and could no longer keep that smile on his lips. In a cold voice without any detectable warmth, he told him, "You should be thankful I didn't kill him!"

He threw Chu Mu Yun tot he guards behind him. Shen Shui Yan didn't even have the time to heal the wounds on his body when he raised his sword again. Alone, he rushed off to seal up every last rift that appeared after the boundary walls were damaged.

With this one battle, Shen Shui Yan's name became renowned throughout the world.

Previously, everyone thought that this delicate young palace master was just a pretty decoration, but now, all the cultivators who participated in the battle had seen his thunderous skill.

They say tigers don't raise pups, but in comparison, the young palace master seemed even more overbearing and powerful than their Respected Leader!

After all, he was only seventeen. To have such powerful strength at such a young age, how strong could he be if he grew into an adult?

It was simply unimaginable!

In a short ten days, all the rifts were sealed. Shen Shui Yan led the army back and finally had the time to see Chu Mu Yun.

In order to limit his movements, he sealed his power, and with the excuse that he was injured, isolated him from anyone's contact.

Chu Mu Yun was placed in Shen Shui Yan's carriage, and the carriage was completely sealed. With how strong Chu Mu Yun's cultivation was, he had long since abandoned food, so even the need for it was no longer a problem. The insides of the carriage were laced with nerve-paralyzing spices, keeping Chu Mu Yun in a constant dazed state.

It was only today that a glimmer of light finally came through. The boy whose face which had become even more beautiful and sweet stood against the light, smiling and calling out to him, "Ah Yun."

Chu Mu Yun's pupils were dilated. He murmured unconsciously, "Qian...Qian Lan..."
