Inside the Royal Pavilion, there was a luxurious hot spring pool, fragrant mist drifting through the air, and several lotus flowers blooming quietly in the water. It was, astonishingly, an entire courtyard garden contained within a single room.
Even the roof could simulate the sun, moon, and stars through formations.
It was difficult to imagine that so many scenes could exist within one space.
People in this world truly knew how to indulge.
Qin Hengyu felt that this place was several times more luxurious than any presidential suite from his previous life.
There were also several attendant women present, and their cultivation was not inferior to Liu Ruyan’s. Each of them had already reached the Mystic Ability Realm. They held various garments in their hands, clearly meant to add a bit of amusement, all arranged by Shopkeeper Liu.
“You can all leave,” Qin Hengyu said.
Strictly speaking, this was Qin Hengyu’s first time. He did not like being watched, nor did he have any such peculiar interests.
After receiving the order, the maids and servants gently set down what they were holding and withdrew, closing the doors of the Royal Pavilion behind them.
The entire Royal Pavilion became a completely isolated space.
Qin Hengyu also noticed the existence of recording stones, capable of preserving images as records.
The service was indeed attentive.
People in this world truly played boldly.
Qin Hengyu clicked his tongue in amazement as he looked at what the attendants had left behind.
Carrying Liu Ruyan on his back, Qin Hengyu walked through the Royal Pavilion. The moment Liu Ruyan entered this room, a flicker of panic flashed across her eyes.
The technique she cultivated, the Ice Emperor Scripture, required her to maintain her virgin body. Only after breaking through to the Saint Realm could she take a man.
“Qin Hengyu, are you really going to be this shameless? I always thought you were a good person. Are you not even willing to be a good person anymore?” Liu Ruyan said anxiously, trying to admonish him.
“A good person?” Qin Hengyu laughed lightly. “Sorry, right now I only want to be a bad person, a thoroughly evil one. This deal was set by you, and there is no going back.”
As he spoke, he pulled Liu Ruyan from his shoulder into his arms, casually toying with her.
Liu Ruyan grew increasingly restless and anxious, trying to struggle.
But the Soft Bone Pill she had swallowed earlier had already taken effect, leaving her body weak and powerless.
How could she possibly resist Qin Hengyu, who possessed cultivation?
She had walked straight into a cage. How foolish.
Liu Ruyan felt deep regret.
Her words became more frantic and incoherent, “Even if you do this, you will never gain my true heart. I won’t cooperate at all. Just treat me like a piece of wood.”
After saying this, her body truly went limp, collapsing onto the ground like mud.
Qin Hengyu naturally understood that the Soft Bone Pill did not completely remove strength, it only reduced one to the level of an ordinary person.
Liu Ruyan had simply gone back on her word.
Qin Hengyu smiled.
He crouched down, placing Liu Ruyan on the ground, and began to strip away the last of her ordinary restraints. With a cold smile, he said, “Do you think I care about your heart? I only need your body. Why would I want the heart of a prostitute? If you won’t move, I will.”
His actions were precise.
Before long, Liu Ruyan was completely exposed.
Panic surged within her as she tried to get up, attempting to cover parts of her body with her hands.
However, reduced to the level of an ordinary person, her resistance was meaningless.
In a room like this, there was nowhere to hide.
She was like prey trapped within a hunting ground. The more she panicked, the more her helplessness was revealed.
Qin Hengyu looked at Liu Ruyan, no longer carrying even the slightest trace of the restraint or respect he once had.
There was an entire night ahead, more than enough time.
In his mind, he even recalled certain “techniques” he had learned before transmigrating.
After all, he was still a virgin.
In this situation, and after paying for it, he even felt slightly at a loss for not receiving any extra “gift.”
Qin Hengyu casually removed his clothes, revealing his well-built physique.
There were bronze mirrors around, reflecting his handsome appearance.
The sense of being at a disadvantage lingered faintly.
Seeing Liu Ruyan pick up a stone, still attempting to resist, Qin Hengyu, wearing only his undergarment, quickly closed the distance in a few steps.
“Smack!”
Qin Hengyu slapped her.
He had already paid spirit stones. What was she pretending for?
Seeing that Liu Ruyan was still struggling, he casually threw her into the pool.
Liu Ruyan sank into the hot spring water, choking on a few mouthfuls as she surfaced. Her appearance carried a pitiful charm, but Qin Hengyu felt no sympathy. After all, those who seemed pitiable often had something hateful about them, and Liu Ruyan was no exception.
Sure enough, Liu Ruyan bit down on Qin Hengyu’s arm again, as if she had never agreed to the deal.
Qin Hengyu did not indulge her. As she bit him, he responded with force.
Qin Hengyu did not even know when he had broken through her defenses. At that very moment, his cultivation actually improved slightly.
Had the original owner been deceived?
This was clearly not some technique that required preserving purity.
At the same time, after taking Liu Ruyan’s body, he immediately sensed her golden fate dispersing, and he once again gained fate to absorb.
Excellent!
Qin Hengyu felt refreshed in both body and mind.
Although the moment was brief, he suppressed the lingering urge and continued.
…
Meanwhile, on the other side.
After Ye Xingchen entered Fortune Inn, he tried to find Liu Ruyan, but Liu Zheng’an struck him unconscious with a single slap.
Seeing that Liu Ruyan and Qin Hengyu might rekindle their relationship, Liu Zheng’an had no intention of letting her ruin his plans.
Ye Xingchen, who had not even fully regained consciousness, fell unconscious once again.
Shopkeeper Liu of Fortune Inn was still a considerate man. He summoned a physician to examine Ye Xingchen’s condition.
That dragon claw strike had been extremely vicious.
The lower part of his body was almost completely ruined.
Fortunately, the physician possessed remarkable skill, cleaning the area thoroughly so that Ye Xingchen could at least urinate.
As for anything beyond that, he would be powerless.
The physician applied healing powder to Ye Xingchen’s lower body, completing the treatment.
Disgusting.
Liu Zheng’an had never liked Ye Xingchen. He even believed that Liu Ruyan’s desire to leave Qin Hengyu had been instigated by him.
Now that Ye Xingchen had become a eunuch, things had actually turned out conveniently.
A nobody of unknown origin dared to interfere in the affairs between great families. Losing what made him a man was already fortunate. Otherwise, he might not have kept his life.
“Ruyan… Ru… yan…” Ye Xingchen muttered hoarsely, instinctively calling her name.
At the same time, Liu Ruyan, with her eyes closed and tears streaming down her face, murmured and even cried out Ye Xingchen’s name, “Xingchen… Xing…”
Her cries only brought her further humiliation, adding a twisted sense of stimulation.
After some time, even her words began to change.
With her voice trembling and indistinct, she murmured two names, seemingly pleading, “Xingchen… Qin… Hengyu… brother, be gentler…”
