Oh, my dear mother!
This texture is truly beyond words!
Most importantly, he could not even hold it in one hand!
Jiang Yue's body trembled.
Inexperienced as she was, her face flushed crimson, yet she mustered her courage and threw herself into Su Qianyu's arms.
"Your Highness, I want..."
Things had reached this point; the arrow was on the bowstring, and it had to be released!
Su Qianyu scooped Jiang Yue up onto the bed and gazed down at her.
"Your Highness, I am still a virgin. Please be gentle with me..." Jiang Yue said softly, her face blushing furiously.
Hearing this, Su Qianyu could hold back no longer, directly deploying his master-level technique for unravelling women's clothing.
"Your Highness, stop staring and come quickly..."
Seeing Su Qianyu fixated entirely on her body, Jiang Yue lowered her head even further, speaking with overwhelming shyness.
Su Qianyu hesitated no longer. The two bared themselves to each other and began to thrust away in earnest...
This sensation was completely different from his battle with Chu Yanran yesterday.
This time, Su Qianyu seized absolute dominance, while Jiang Yue could only surrender herself to whatever Su Qianyu chose to do with her.
If Chu Yanran was a cold and aloof noble beauty, then Jiang Yue was a gentle and endearing girl-next-door; they were two completely different types.
Suddenly, Su Qianyu paused.
"Why did Your Highness stop? Was my serving not to your liking? I will change positions right away," Jiang Yue asked anxiously.
Su Qianyu lowered his head to look at her.
"I suddenly thought of your husband."
At these words, Jiang Yue's expression instantly darkened.
"Then... should we still continue?"
Su Qianyu grinned.
"Of course!"
With that, he suddenly accelerated.
"Ah, ah, ah..."
Jiang Yue let out a sudden cry of pain.
"Try circulating the Yin-Yang Chaos Formula."
Before long, Su Qianyu was struck by a thought.
The Yin-Yang Chaos Formula he practiced allowed him to grow his cultivation through dual cultivation; now was the perfect time to test whether dual cultivation with Jiang Yue would be effective.
"What is this?"
Caught between pain and pleasure, Jiang Yue suddenly froze.
She could distinctly feel an intensely pure warm current continuously pouring into her body, making her whole body tremble uncontrollably with a wonderful sensation.
"..."
Two hours later.
Jiang Yue leaned back against the wall.
She had already dressed, though her face remained flushed crimson and a persistent soreness between her legs left her unable to move so much as an inch.
"I think I have cultivation now..."
Yet soon, to her shock and delight, she discovered that a wisp of her very own Xuan Power had unexpectedly appeared within her, propelling her straight from an ordinary mortal to the Fifth Layer of Profound Entry. It was completely unheard of!
What on earth was going on?
Why had she suddenly attained cultivation?
Yet she had clearly done nothing just moments ago, other than thrusting away in earnest with Su Qianyu...
At this thought, she abruptly raised her head.
Su Qianyu, too, wore a thoughtful expression.
When he dual-cultivated with Chu Yanran yesterday, both he and Chu Yanran had benefited and grown stronger.
Yet Jiang Yue was merely an ordinary mortal; both her cultivation and her physical constitution differed vastly from his, meaning his gains from dual cultivation with her were extremely limited.
Conversely, she reaped massive benefits, leaping straight from an ordinary person to the Fifth Layer of Profound Entry.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for this grace."
Jiang Yue hurried over to Su Qianyu, looking at him with boundless gratitude as she expressed her thanks, her heart stirred beyond measure.
She would have cultivation of her own from now on!
This was something she never would have dared to dream of before!
With her limited perspective, she could only guess that all of this was connected to Su Qianyu, and thus her gratitude came straight from the heart.
Hearing this, Su Qianyu waved a hand.
Then, looking at her, he said, "Since you are already my woman, I will certainly take responsibility for you, but..."
Su Qianyu's voice trailed off, causing Jiang Yue to tremble all over, tears already welling up in her eyes.
Seeing this, Su Qianyu felt a touch of helplessness and continued, "I must tell you in advance, I can only take you as a concubine, and furthermore, in a short while I will be heading to the Heavenly Sword Sect, leaving you to spend your nights alone."
It was not that he wanted to have his way and walk away without taking responsibility.
Jiang Yue was, after all, a member of the Chu Family, and since he had already married Chu Yanran, the absolute most he could do was take Jiang Yue as a concubine; otherwise, the family generations would become hopelessly tangled.
"I am willing."
A look of great joy washed over Jiang Yue's face as she nodded repeatedly. She was already more than satisfied with such an outcome.
"Then go and rest quickly. You've been exhausted for quite a while," Su Qianyu smiled faintly.
At these words, Jiang Yue's pretty face flushed red once more, yet she declared with unwavering resolve, "No, I want to cultivate! I want to grow strong!"
Su Qianyu looked slightly surprised, then nodded.
"You certainly have drive. In that case, I shall pass a cultivation technique on to you." With that, he handed a Yellow-tier intermediate cultivation technique over to her.
Though the grade of the technique was not high, it should be more than enough for Jiang Yue.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Jiang Yue thanked him once again.
A strange sensation suddenly welled up in her heart: the decision she had made today would very likely shape the entire course of her life.
After Su Qianyu left, Jiang Yue immediately sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.
Yet unnoticed by anyone, as Jiang Yue began to cultivate, a faint spark of fire gradually coalesced within her pupils, accompanied by a red flame imprint that flickered faintly on her forehead.
...
The next day.
Su Qianyu was woken up by someone.
"Your Highness, Chu Mengyao has brought people over, demanding that Your Highness hand someone out!" a servant reported hastily.
Hearing this, Su Qianyu narrowed his eyes. At that moment, Jiang Yue had also arrived, preparing to wait upon Su Qianyu.
"They must be here for me."
Jiang Yue lowered her head and spoke softly.
"Let's go out and see."
Su Qianyu remained entirely unconcerned.
When the two of them stepped outside, they found Chu Mengyao blocking the entrance of the estate with two maids in tow.
"You damn wretch, you actually had the nerve to come back? Since you're not dead, hurry up and come back with me!" The moment she laid eyes on Jiang Yue, Chu Mengyao lashed out in fury, her words exceptionally harsh.
Jiang Yue was, after all, Chu Hong's daughter, as well as her own half-sister. Coupled with the delicate relationship between the Chu Family and the royal house, Chu Hong had specifically ordered her to bring Jiang Yue back to the Chu Family.
Otherwise, she would never have wanted to come here, nor did she wish to set eyes on Su Qianyu.
"I... I don't want to... go back to the Chu Family," Jiang Yue said, trembling all over from fright as she lowered her head.
Back in the Chu Family, she had lived in a woodshed, eaten slop fit for pigs, and endured a life worse than that of the servants; naturally, she had no wish to return now.
Yet she was long accustomed to being bullied by Chu Mengyao, and the mere sight of her was enough to render her speechless with terror.
"Well, well, look at you, wretch. You actually dare to defy my orders now." Chu Mengyao knitted her brows in deep anger.
With that, she waved a hand.
"Give her two slaps to help her remember her place."
At Chu Mengyao's command, the two maids beside her walked straight toward Jiang Yue, their faces brimming with mockery and disdain.
"Looks like it's been a while since you were put in your place, and your skin is itching for it."
"Hehe, then let's help you jog your memory properly!"
The two maids walked over with ill intent, draining the color from Jiang Yue's face in sheer terror.
Those two had given her no shortage of bullying back in the Chu Family; deep down, terror of them had long been etched into her bones, leaving her feeling utterly helpless.
"You are no longer the Jiang Yue of the past."
Just then, Su Qianyu's voice suddenly echoed in her ear.
Hearing this, Jiang Yue was slightly startled.
That's right!
She now possessed cultivation; she was no longer that old Jiang Yue who could only let others trample all over her!
"Such a little wretch, you even look like a bitch!" One of the maids glared at Jiang Yue with burning jealousy, then raised her arm with a grin and lashed out a slap across Jiang Yue's face.
Yet in the very next second...
"Smack!"
Jiang Yue suddenly swung her hand, directly batting away the incoming palm. Accompanied by a crisp sound, Jiang Yue instead backhanded the maid right across the face.
"You!"
"How dare you hit me!"
The maid was instantly stunned, clutching her cheek as she stared at Jiang Yue in disbelief.
"I'll beat you to death, you bitch!" Seeing this, the other maid lunged at Jiang Yue with claws bared.
"Smack! Smack!"
Immediately following, two more crisp slapping sounds rang out, and that maid was sent flying by Jiang Yue's blow, crashing onto the ground with two bright red handprints instantly emblazoned across her face.
("You, you, you...")
The two maids stared at Jiang Yue in a mixture of shock and terror.
They simply could not believe that Jiang Yue—someone they used to bully at will—could one day slap them around with such effortless ease.
"I did it!"
At that moment, Jiang Yue was overwhelmed with excitement.
The joy of vengeance flooded her heart, and the look she directed toward Su Qianyu was filled with an extra layer of adoration and gratitude.
All of this was bestowed upon her by His Highness!
Even if she had to work herself to the bone as an ox or a horse, she would repay His Highness!
