The Corruption Dragon God: Lust System

Chapter 95: 95 - Tempest secret realm (09)

Qing Ruyan did not respond immediately to Qingyi, her eyes carefully filtering him.

The white veil was almost thin enough for him to see her face, and it still allowed him to see her eyes, which shone faintly.

”I heard about a big commotion in the ascending dragon sect a few months ago...” Her lips curved into a subtle smile as she lifted the veil.

Long black hair cascaded over her slender shoulders, framing a delicate and beautiful face with high cheekbones, full cherry lips, and a small, slightly upturned nose.

She was, indeed, a peerless beauty.

”An expert from the Nine Peaks Basin appeared because of an attack by the demonic cult, and when she left, she took a young man with her...” Ruyan took a step forward, and Qingyi stepped back, his eyes flickering slightly.

How did that woman know all that?

Noticing his reaction, a soft laugh escaped the young woman’s lips, her face turning slightly as she studied Qingyi’s features.

The fair, flawless skin of her cheeks turned slightly pink when she looked away, but she quickly recovered, assuming a serious expression.

”Don’t worry, I don’t care about the affairs of the Ascending Dragon Sect, I was just curious about what could lead such a powerful expert to take an interest in someone from this region.”

Her eyes moved down from Qingyi’s face, focusing on his arms still covered in black scales, blood dripping from the small cut left by Young Master Shen’s attack.

”I am Qing Ruyan, a direct disciple of the Serene Cloud Sect.”

Qingyi hesitated for a brief moment, but soon forced the fatigue out of his face, greeting her respectfully.

”This one is Long Qingyi, an external disciple of the Ascending Dragon Sect. How did senior discover my identity?”

”I was in the capital of the Golden Sun Kingdom until last month, and I met your woman there.

”Hua Feiyan?” Qingyi briefly lost control of his emotions, approaching Ruyan, his face inches from hers. ”How is she? What was she doing there?”

”Well...” Ruyan blushed, her eyes avoiding Qingyi’s piercing gaze.

’He smells good... despite the sweat.’ Her gaze flowed to the opening in his robe, damaged by battle and revealing part of his powerful abdomen. ’Ugh... what are you thinking, Ruyan? Focus!’

”Ah... I’m sorry!” Qingyi sensed the sweet floral fragrance emanating from her body, realizing they were too close, he stepped back.

”I-it’s okay...”

There was an awkward silence between them before Ruyan finally regained her composure.

”We met at a ball at the royal palace. The crown prince is about to turn 100, and the royal family has summoned all the young alchemy talents in the kingdom to make the best breakthrough pill for the golden core realm. She will be participating in the competition that is supposed to take place in a few weeks.”

”I see...” Qingyi lowered his head, deep in thought.

He had already heard rumors about the crown prince’s birthday and his talent while he was in the sect, one of the least talented of his generation.

It made sense that Feiyan, the greatest alchemy talent in the ascending dragon sect, would participate in this kind of competition.

”If I were you, I would run back to the realm of the blazing sun as fast as I could. We talked about a lot of things, especially about you, but we also talked about the royal family.

They seem to be very interested in marrying her to the crown prince.”

”They are interested in WHAT?” Qingyi froze.

The moment those words entered his ears, he felt his blood boil.

They want to marry his Feiyan to some talentless old bag of bones? he gritted his teeth, but soon calmed down.

There was no chance the sect would agree to that. The royal family knew that well, it was probably the old man’s personal interest.

”Ah...” he sighed. He really just wanted to transcend and live a peaceful life, fucking his women and relaxing for the rest of eternity.

But the pigs always gathered at his feet, begging for the cold steel of his blade.

His eyes were filled with murderous intent and his fists clenched hard enough to tear his skin.

He closed his eyes, calming his heart before bowing to Ruyan.

”Thank you very much for the information, senior. If we don’t kill each other today, I promise to repay you a thousand times over.”

”Hahaha, don’t worry.” A soft, sincere laugh escaped from the beauty’s lips.

”Shen Yulan was the one who was interested in that lightning spirit. I only came with him because the sect leader basically forced me to accompany him. He is an unpleasant man and believes that something will develop between us if we travel toget-”

She covered her mouth, realizing she had spoken a little too much.

”I hope to see you again someday.” Her words flowed throughout the fourth floor as she took a talisman from her space ring and tore it, her body disappearing in a column of light.

When he found himself alone again, Qingyi couldn’t help but exhale wearily and sit cross-legged, circulating his Qi and looking at the wound on his arms.

Young Master Shen’s attack had managed to break through his defenses and even cut through his black dragon scales.

It wasn’t a big cut, at least not compared to what would have happened if he hadn’t had that skill active, but still, it was a cut, and that worried him.

He was almost certain that his techniques were superior to those of any cultivator in the foundation realm, but seeing young master Shen’s technique, he immediately realized he was wrong.

The world was very large and full of hidden talents.

With a sigh, he continued to recover. The lightning spirit would probably make up for what was lacking in his techniques.

After many hours, he finally opened his eyes, feeling his body full of energy.

Fortunately, he had not suffered any internal injuries other than a few broken ribs and his dantian being emptied.

With the density of lightning Qi in this place, it was not difficult to recover from this with just a low-quality healing pill.

Qingyi stood up, his eyes focused on a single door at the end of the room. Buying a sword from the system store, he opened the door.
