Chapter 197: How to Make Amends?

“Perverted thief, die!”

Outside the mountain, Lu Lingxi hovered above, exuding a powerful celestial aura.

“How dare you! Who is so bold as to disrupt my good deeds!”

The mountain was shrouded in a layer of misty barriers, and Lu Lingxi could only hear the voice without seeing the person.

“Ah, what a letdown! Who is so shameless as to shout outside?”

To Lu Lingxi’s surprise, a woman’s complaint came from inside.

She naturally recognized that the woman was Mu Qinglian.

“Sister Qinglian, is that you?” Lu Lingxi called out, and continued, “Are you being forced by that perverted thief? Don’t be afraid, I’m coming to rescue you!”

“Get lost! Who are you? I’m enjoying myself here, I don’t need your help! You’re the shameless one, afraid you’re itching with desire after hearing me with my man, that’s why you’re trying to stir things up!”

Mu Qinglian, clearly upset, shot back without hesitation.

Lu Lingxi’s heart filled with shame and anger, leaving her completely stunned.

To think that this vixen, Mu Qinglian, was a willing participant! How shameless could she be!

“Hmph, I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person. Fine, I’ll consider it my own folly. You two can go on!”

With that, Lu Lingxi turned to leave.

“Stop right there!”

Suddenly, a furious shout rang out, followed by an invisible celestial hand that seized Lu Lingxi, rendering her immobile.

Lu Lingxi was shocked and quickly urged her celestial powers at the second stage, trying to break free from the restraint.

Swish, swish, swish!

Waves of celestial energy condensed into sword intent, emanating from her body.

However, her sword intent shattered upon touching the barrier, unable to contend with it at all.

“How could this happen…”

Lu Lingxi’s face turned pale, her heart pounding with fear.

She never anticipated that the opponent’s strength would be so much greater than her own!

“Come here!”

Chen Ansheng, fully dressed, waved his hand, and the restrained Lu Lingxi fell before him.

“Perverted thief, let me go!”

Lu Lingxi glared hatefully at Chen Ansheng, speaking coldly.

“Eh?”

Seeing Lu Lingxi, Chen Ansheng raised an eyebrow in suspicion.

This woman was extraordinarily beautiful, radiating an aura of pure elegance. What surprised him further was that she resembled Zhong Li by about eighty to ninety percent.

If it weren’t for being in the Lost Realm, Chen Ansheng might have mistaken her for Zhong Li.

“Hehe, this is interesting.”

Gazing at the familiar yet unfamiliar beautiful face, Chen Ansheng smiled playfully.

To Lu Lingxi, that smile sent chills down her spine; he was smiling too lewdly. Was he planning to do something harmful to her?

“What are you doing? Hurry up and let me go!”

Lu Lingxi was scared inside but maintained an icy exterior, scolding him sharply.

“I wondered who it was; turns out it’s the Imperial Daughter of the Lu family, Sister Lu Lingxi,” Mu Qinglian recognized her immediately, “I never expected that you had such a hobby, Sister Lu. If you’re really that eager, I don’t mind letting you join in. After all, my man is vigorous and can handle both of us, hehe.”

“Mu Qinglian, I didn’t expect you to be so depraved and shameless!”

Hearing this, Lu Lingxi was filled with shame and anger, her face turning crimson.

“How could you say that!” Mu Qinglian’s expression darkened and she retorted, “I’m here enjoying my time with my man, and you’re outside eavesdropping. Who’s the one truly shameless?”

“You!”

Lu Lingxi was furious, ready to explode.

Chen Ansheng smiled at her, pointing his finger, “Hey you, interrupting my business. Tell me, how do we resolve this?”

Lu Lingxi regretted her impulsiveness, realizing she should not have gotten involved. But who would have thought Mu Qinglian would be so lowly? Now, she felt at a disadvantage.

Under normal circumstances, being at fault didn’t matter. The key issue was she was at a disadvantage and unable to fight back, left to be toyed with at his will.

“Let’s just say this was a misunderstanding. What do you want?”

Lu Lingxi said coldly.

Chen Ansheng asked, “So you mean we just let it go?”

Lu Lingxi turned her gaze, glaring at Chen Ansheng, “What else? If you think you can handle my father’s Imperial Realm palm, then go ahead and do as you wish!”

“Oh?” Chen Ansheng chuckled, finding the situation similar to when he first met the Demoness, “You dare to threaten me? What are you going to do about it!”

“You dare!” Lu Lingxi panicked.

“Do you think I wouldn’t dare?”

Chen Ansheng did as he said, groping here and pinching there.

“You! Shameless scoundrel, let me go!”

Lu Lingxi felt numb all over, her body stiffening.

Beside them, Mu Qinglian watched the scene, feeling sour and dissatisfied, silently grumbling about why she was getting the short end of the stick.

“Young Master, why not just let her go? We still have important matters to attend to.”

Mu Qinglian pressed herself against Chen Ansheng’s back, whispering sweetly into his ear.

“Get lost.”

Chen Ansheng shrugged her off, sending her flying several yards away.

Mu Qinglian stumbled but steadied herself, her eyes wide with disbelief and feigning injury, “Young Master, why are you like this? Wasn’t everything fine just now? Did I do something wrong?”

Chen Ansheng temporarily spared Lu Lingxi, rose to his feet, and spoke in a deep voice, “If it weren’t for your decent skills, the moment you showed killing intent towards me, you would already be a corpse. Understand?”

Chen Ansheng’s perception was far beyond what Mu Qinglian could imagine.

No matter how well she hid her killing intent, it couldn’t be concealed from him. He hadn’t killed her just to collect some interest.

“I-I didn’t! I was serving you very diligently just now, how could I have ill intentions towards you, boohoo.”

Mu Qinglian was exposed and felt extremely anxious, resorting to her usual tactics to earn Chen Ansheng’s sympathy.

“Slap!”

But Chen Ansheng wasn’t sympathetic; he backhandedly slapped her.

“You shameless woman, those little tricks of yours are useless against me.”

Mu Qinglian fell to the ground, a sense of humiliation washing over her.

“Hurry up and get lost, do you want to die?”

Chen Ansheng coldly scolded, leaving Mu Qinglian trembling in fear, scrambling to her feet, summoning her celestial power to cover her body with some dry grass, and quickly flying away.

“Hehehe.”

Chen Ansheng turned, looking at Lu Lingxi, who was collapsed on the ground, her beautiful face flushed.

“You, don’t come over! I swear, I didn’t have any killing intent towards you; don’t you dare do anything rash.”

Seeing that smiling face of Chen Ansheng’s, Lu Lingxi was close to tears.

“Don’t worry, you look just like a deceased friend of mine. I won’t bully you.” With that, Chen Ansheng released the celestial restraint and said calmly.

Lu Lingxi felt her body relax, immediately rising and retreating several paces.

“Don’t give me that! Let’s call it even this time. What exactly do you want to let it go?”

Lu Lingxi didn’t think about escaping because, in her perception, the fluctuations of celestial power from him were like an unfathomable ocean, making escape impossible.
