A night passed.
Liu Ruyan’s body was now covered with bluish marks, and the hair across her body appeared messy and unclean.
“You make me feel sick!” Liu Ruyan said, sensing that after losing her virginity, her cultivation had dropped back to the early stage of the Mystic Ability Realm. The hatred in her eyes toward Qin Hengyu deepened.
“Smack!”
Qin Hengyu slapped her and asked in return, “What did you say?”
After being taught a lesson for an entire night, Liu Ruyan had become much more obedient.
She immediately fell silent, tightly shutting her mouth.
After all, her mouth had not been spared much punishment either.
“You should’ve been this obedient earlier. Now, swallow this Contraceptive Pill,” Qin Hengyu said.
After Liu Ruyan went silent, he took out a pill and forcefully stuffed it into her mouth, using water to make her swallow it.
There was no way he would let someone like Liu Ruyan cause the trouble of bearing his child.
“Cough, cough, cough!”
Liu Ruyan immediately started coughing. Qin Hengyu’s actions were still as rough as ever.
After a night of testing, he had already figured out that Liu Ruyan truly was the kind of person who did not appreciate kindness.
After all, yesterday she had cursed him endlessly.
Yet the more she cursed him, the more excited he became.
After finishing everything, Qin Hengyu took a bath and put his clothes back on.
At the same time, the system, which had been silent for a long time, finally issued a notification.
[Ding! Host has lost his virginity. Reward: one enlightenment opportunity.]
[Host has taken Liu Ruyan’s body, broken her cultivation technique, and suppressed her fate. Reward: one enlightenment opportunity.]
[Host has castrated Ye Xingchen and suppressed his fate. Reward: one enlightenment opportunity!]
…
Hmm?
A total of three enlightenment opportunities?
After hearing the system’s notification, Qin Hengyu was somewhat surprised.
He had not expected that even losing his virginity would come with a reward.
Was it because the system pitied him for being a lifelong bachelor in his previous life?
Three enlightenment opportunities.
That meant he now had a total of four enlightenment chances. He could carefully consider how to use them.
After feeling refreshed, Qin Hengyu left the Royal Pavilion.
As for Liu Ruyan, she was already no different from a prostitute, and she did not have the wealth to continue staying in the Royal Pavilion, which cost tens of millions of spirit stones per night.
She could only return pitifully to the residence rented by the Liu family below.
The residence was located on the third floor of the building.
There were many such residences, along with streets, making the place look lively and bustling.
Even though it was inside a single structure, it created a sense of indulgence and decadence. The vendors and visitors elsewhere were nowhere near as alluring as those inside Laifu Inn.
Of course, additional services required additional payment.
Liu Ruyan walked through the street in despair and returned to the residence where the Liu family was temporarily staying. She was immediately greeted by her father and the other members of the Liu family.
“How did it go?”
“Did the Royal Prince change his mind? Can we return to the Great Qin Empire?”
“Will we have endless spirit stones again?”
“The physician has already examined Ye Xingchen. He’s now a eunuch. Should we just give up on him? He probably isn’t Qin Hengyu’s opponent.”
“We can live a good life again.”
…
Including Liu Zheng’an, nearly everyone wore expressions of anticipation.
After only about a day and a night, they already felt they could not endure their current situation and began longing for the past.
“Heh!”
Liu Ruyan looked at the Liu family, who resembled bloodsuckers, and let out a cold laugh, her face pale.
After what she had experienced last night, she had realized that Qin Hengyu had changed.
That change felt unfamiliar to her.
At the same time, it made her slightly afraid.
The Liu family’s plan to use her as leverage to return to the Great Qin Empire might very well fail.
“Where is Ye Xingchen?” Liu Ruyan asked.
She knew that telling her father and the Liu family the truth would only make the situation more uncontrollable. It was better to let them live in a dream she could manipulate.
“He’s already asleep,” Liu Zheng’an said with a flattering expression.
He wanted to return to the Great Qin Empire. His hope still lay with Liu Ruyan, so no amount of flattery was too much.
Liu Ruyan quickly entered the inner room and saw Ye Xingchen, whose complexion was weak. She placed her hand on his pulse. His condition was relatively stable.
Fortunately, his foundation had not been greatly damaged. He simply could no longer continue cultivating his technique.
“Senior Sister?” Ye Xingchen said, waking up when Liu Ruyan arrived.
As soon as he woke, he tried to grab Liu Ruyan’s wrist. However, Liu Ruyan reacted as if frightened and quickly withdrew her hand.
Ye Xingchen thought he was being rejected, and grief overwhelmed him even more.
Whether a man still had that part did not require touching to know.
Ye Xingchen could already feel that what he was born with was gone. His heart was already empty, and being rejected by Liu Ruyan made it even worse.
Seeing tears fall from the corners of his eyes, Liu Ruyan said with reluctance, “Junior Brother, don’t touch me. I’m no longer clean.”
It would have been better if she had not said it.
The moment she spoke, Ye Xingchen’s eyes turned red.
Not clean?
With just a little thought, he could guess what Qin Hengyu had done. The stark contrast left him unable to speak for a moment.
“Ah… ah… ah!”
Ye Xingchen wanted to say something, but only weak sounds came from his throat.
“Junior Brother!”
After some time, Liu Ruyan regained her composure and discussed a few things with Ye Xingchen.
They both felt that staying in Jin city was not a long-term solution.
Everything here required spirit stones.
Even with ten million spirit stones, it would not last long.
It would be better to check out of Laifu Inn early and head to the wilderness outside Jin city, where they could first improve their cultivation.
Including the refunded money, they would have over ten million spirit stones, enough to last for a while.
Liu Ruyan agreed with this plan and personally went to find Liu Zheng’an to discuss it.
“Father, after spending the night with Qin Hengyu, I might become pregnant with his child. If that happens, he will not allow his own child to wander in the wilderness. Instead, we will appear even more miserable, making Qin Hengyu feel sympathy,” Liu Ruyan said with clear reasoning.
In reality, she wanted to secure more resources for herself and Ye Xingchen.
“Good!”
Liu Zheng’an stroked his nonexistent beard, finding the idea quite feasible, and immediately agreed.
Previously, Qin Hengyu had paid a deposit of one million spirit stones. When the Liu family left, they had returned nine million spirit stones.
After leaving Laifu Inn, they purchased some supplies and set off toward the outskirts of Jin city in a grand procession.
However, just as they were about to leave the city, someone blocked their path.
“The Grand Firmament Holy Son has arrived!”
With the announcement, a Bronze Carriage appeared near the city gate.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing the Grand Firmament Holy Son.
The Grand Firmament Holy Son came from the Grand Firmament Holy Land, which was located to the west of Jin city, not far away.
The current Holy Son was named Meng Fannian. He had a delicate and effeminate appearance. When the curtain was lifted by a maid, his pale skin and slender figure could be seen clearly.
He had also carefully adorned his hair with ornaments.
From any angle, he looked like a pretty boy.
Meng Fannian had deliberately stopped Liu Ruyan.
He had received secret information that after venting his desires on Liu Ruyan once, Qin Hengyu no longer cared about her.
Meng Fannian also wanted to take advantage of a soft target.
At this moment, he spoke in a soft, affected tone, “Fairy Liu, since Qin Hengyu has annulled your engagement, why don’t you spend a night with me as well? I’ll pay 10 million spirit stones for one night.”
His gaze was lecherous as he looked Liu Ruyan up and down.
Liu Ruyan frowned, feeling as if she were being pierced from behind.
Refuse?
In the past, Liu Ruyan would have refused without hesitation. She would not even need to speak, Qin Hengyu would have already appeared by her side.
Had Qin Hengyu truly left?
For some reason, Liu Ruyan suddenly felt a trace of longing for how Qin Hengyu used to rush out with his people.
Would he be secretly watching her?
If she were bullied, would he protect her like before, especially now that she had already given herself to him?
Her thoughts churned.
She waited, waiting for that familiar figure to appear once again.
However, no such figure appeared.
Instead, the hesitation on Liu Ruyan’s face caused those around her to begin forming their own conclusions.
