Chapter 1297: Brahma Soul Death-Seeking Seal

Xia Qingyue had always been as tranquil as autumn water, as cold as a deep pool, rarely showing emotional fluctuations. But at this moment, her beautiful eyes reflected a soul-piercing cold light... and killing intent.

Her mother's fading life, her father's and foster father's lifelong sorrow... It turned out that all of it was caused by Qianye Ying'er, not the Star God Realm!

No wonder the Moon God Emperor, when mentioning the Star God Realm in recent years, showed not hatred, but a deeply hidden complexity... He had already known it was Qianye Ying'er's doing!

"Back then, I originally sent people to abduct Yue Wugou because her Immaculate Divine Body was a good thing, and it would be a great waste to squander it on Yue Wuya. Who knew those two incompetents would botch the job, fail to abduct her, and then even try to kill her, yet couldn't even finish the killing cleanly."

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Qianye Ying'er said to Xia Qingyue with a playful look. "I am your greatest benefactor in this life. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even exist in this world."

Qianye Ying'er's words were indeed true. If not for her, Yue Wugou would not have descended to the Azure Cloud Continent, nor would she have met Xia Hongyi, and naturally, Xia Qingyue would not have been born.

"And you too." Qianye Ying'er slightly tightened her hand around Yun Che's throat. "If not for me, the Heaven Punishing Star God wouldn't have inherited the Heretic God's legacy, and certainly wouldn't have become involved with you. Then, you would merely be a lowly nobody from the lower realms, not even qualified to enter the Eastern Divine Region. How could you have become one of the 'Consecrated Gods' and gained such prestige?"

"So, now it's time for the two of you to repay me."

After speaking softly, Qianye Ying'er's voice and gaze suddenly turned cold simultaneously. The hand covering Yun Che's crown abruptly unleashed an incomparably powerful soul force.

"Stop!" Xia Qingyue cried out helplessly in alarm.

*Buzz—*

Yun Che's mind instantly roared.

In front of Qianye Ying'er, Yun Che's existence was as insignificant as an ant beneath the vast ocean... both in profound energy and soul power. The consequence of a successful soul search would be the stripping of all his memories by Qianye Ying'er, his soul would disintegrate, and he would become an imbecile, or even a living dead man. If it failed, his will would be utterly destroyed, also turning him into a living dead man.

But just as Qianye Ying'er's soul force was about to fully invade the depths of Yun Che's soul, a dragon's roar simultaneously echoed within the hearts and souls of both Yun Che and Qianye Ying'er.

Qianye Ying'er's eyes suddenly flew open, her soul trembled violently, and even her body shook fiercely. Yun Che, who was in her hand, fell to the ground.

"Heh... hehe..." Yun Che lay on the ground, his head throbbing with splitting pain, yet he sneered aloud, "Want to search my soul? Don't even talk about you... even your father wouldn't be able to do it!"

After reaching the Divine Soul Realm, Yun Che's soul had become impregnable. With the Dragon God's Soul, his soul might be suppressed or even destroyed, but it was absolutely impossible for it to be forcibly plundered! If Qianye Ying'er hadn't been so overwhelmingly powerful, the backlash from earlier would have severely damaged anyone else's soul.

At this point, he no longer needed to pretend anything in front of Qianye Ying'er, as it was utterly useless.

He just didn't understand why Qianye Ying'er knew about his relationship with Jasmine, or why she knew about the Heretic God's divine power within him... Where exactly had the flaw appeared?

Most terrifying was Qianye Ying'er's astonishing caution. Even when facing two people who absolutely couldn't resist her, she firmly suppressed them, rendering them completely immobile from beginning to end.

"Very good, excellent." After a moment of surprise, Qianye Ying'er's lips slightly curled. "As expected of a soul that even the 'Immaculate Divine Soul' cannot suppress. I am growing increasingly interested in the dragon soul within you now."

"It could have ended quickly and painlessly..." Her hand gripped Yun Che's throat again, lifting him for the third time. Two extremely dangerous gazes pierced into the depths of Yun Che's eyes. "You brought this upon yourself!"

As her voice fell, a golden light flashed in her pupils. Following this, a dense golden radiance glowed on the palm of her hand gripping Yun Che's neck. The golden light swiftly detached from her palm and transferred onto Yun Che's body.

Instantly, with Yun Che's neck as the center, fine golden threads rapidly radiated outwards. Within a few breaths, they spread across his entire body, imprinting thousands of delicate golden patterns onto him. These golden patterns shimmered with light, clearly visible even through his outer garments.

When the golden patterns had completely spread to every corner of his body, all the golden light vanished. Qianye Ying'er released her grip, letting Yun Che fall back to the ground.

"Cough... cough, cough... What... what did you do to me!?" Yun Che coughed heavily in pain, his voice hoarse as he roared.

A moment ago, he felt countless chills spreading throughout his body, reaching every meridian and every nerve... But as the golden patterns disappeared, all sensations vanished as well, as if nothing had happened.

Xia Qingyue watched intently, initially looking puzzled. The moment the golden patterns vanished, her beautiful eyes constricted sharply as if pricked by needles. "Brahma Soul... Death-Wishing Mark..."

"Oh?" Qianye Ying'er glanced at Xia Qingyue. "You actually know the Brahma Soul Death-Wishing Mark."

"Remove it! Remove it from him!!" Xia Qingyue's voice was urgent, severely hoarse from extreme terror, and her face was terrifyingly pale.

Yun Che had never heard of the "Brahma Soul Death-Wishing Mark," but it was the first time he had seen such a terrified expression on Xia Qingyue's face... as if she had encountered the most terrifying and malevolent demon god of legend.

"Brahma Soul Death-Wishing Mark... what is it?" Yun Che gritted his teeth and asked. "Death-Wishing Mark... Death... wishing for death!?"

"You'll find out soon enough." Qianye Ying'er no longer spared Yun Che a glance, leaving him there as she walked towards Xia Qingyue, who was also unable to move.

"Remove it from him!" Xia Qingyue's pupils still trembled, but her gaze turned away, unable to bear looking at Yun Che anymore. Her voice completely softened at that moment. "Please... I beg you..."

Xia Qingyue's words stunned Yun Che. He hissed, "Qingyue, are you mad...? Why are you begging her!"

"You... don't... understand..." Xia Qingyue closed her eyes, unwilling to let Yun Che see her gaze, which was dim to the point of despair.

Yun Che was bewildered, but Xia Qingyue knew that "Brahma Soul Death-Wishing Mark"... those were the five most terrifying words in this world. Even the strongest and most fearless person would tremble in terror upon hearing them, as if they were a cruel curse from the depths of hell.

"Begging me?" Qianye Ying'er stood before Xia Qingyue, her face exquisitely beautiful, yet covered with a suffocating ruthlessness. "Daughter of Yue Wugou, before you beg for him, perhaps you should worry about yourself first."

"I know what you want," Xia Qingyue said, her gaze cold and deep. "Remove the Brahma Soul Death-Wishing Mark from him, and I will give you everything you desire."

Before yesterday, she had never left the Moon God Realm, and outsiders knew nothing about her. The only thing about her that someone of Qianye Ying'er's caliber would covet was her Nine Profound Exquisite Body.

In the memory fragments bestowed upon her by the Moon God Emperor, it was recorded that the Nine Profound Exquisite Body could be seized by other women, though the conditions were extremely stringent and the method very unique.

"Oh? Do you think you have the right to bargain?" Qianye Ying'er said with a half-smile, her finger tracing light circles on Xia Qingyue's chest. "You are in my hands now. Everything about you is up to me, not you."

Xia Qingyue's gaze grew colder. "If you don't remove his Brahma Soul Death-Wishing Mark, I will immediately... self-destruct my Exquisite World!"

"Qingyue..." These words made Yun Che realize that Qianye Ying'er's true objective was Xia Qingyue's Nine Profound Exquisite Body. He just didn't know that the Nine Profound Exquisite Body could actually be seized, or how, or what the consequences of such an act would be.

At this moment, his entire being was filled with a profound sense of powerlessness... the powerlessness that comes from being under absolute force. And when that person, under absolute force, still shows no flaws, that is absolute despair.

"Self-destruct?" Qianye Ying'er let out a mocking, faint laugh. "Then go ahead and try."

"..." Xia Qingyue gritted her teeth, but could no longer speak. Under Qianye Ying'er's utterly irresistible suppressive force, she couldn't use a single trace of profound energy, much less self-destruct the Exquisite World within her profound veins. If Qianye Ying'er wished, they wouldn't even be able to speak... Everything had fallen under her control, leaving them completely at her mercy.

Just as Qianye Ying'er said, neither Xia Qingyue nor Yun Che had any right to bargain.

"What I want, I will take from you myself. I don't need you to give it to me, understand?"

Qianye Ying'er's lips curved slightly. Her hand, which was touching Xia Qingyue's chest, pressed down, and then abruptly ripped.

*Rip!* With a tearing sound, Xia Qingyue's moon-robe instantly turned into scattered fragments, her upper body immediately exposed. Because she usually consciously bound her breasts, as her inner garment completely tore apart, her exceptionally voluminous, soft breasts were suddenly freed, bouncing out with a *boing*. They were snowy white and tender like solidified cream, jiggling continuously like waves.

Yun Che's eyes bulged... Despite being married to Xia Qingyue for twelve years, he had never seen her physical body. Normally, upon suddenly witnessing such a beautiful sight, even he, having seen countless beauties, would be so stunned that his eyes might pop out. But at this moment, after a brief moment of dazzlement, a chilling horror filled his heart. He hissed, "Qianye! What are you doing??"

Was this demoness also a perverse freak!?

Qianye Ying'er paid no attention to Yun Che's roar. She looked at Xia Qingyue's body, which was more alluring and enchanting than the legendary world-destroying enchantresses. A rare glint of strange light shone in her golden pupils. "It's truly unexpected that such a cold exterior hides such a captivating body. Even I, as a woman, am a little tempted."

Her fingers slowly traced the snowy skin on Xia Qingyue's chest, her movements gentle, seemingly with a hint of enjoyment and intoxication.

"How peculiar. Such a seductive body, yet still a virgin," she said, casting a sidelong glance at Yun Che. "Could it be that the man who married you is a useless eunuch?"

"Demoness!!" Yun Che's eyes were bloodshot. Although Qianye Ying'er was a woman, this was still an unprecedented humiliation for Xia Qingyue. "Don't you want to know my secrets? If you have the guts, come at me!"

"You?" Qianye Ying'er's hand rested on Xia Qingyue's lower abdomen. The curve of her lips showed extreme contempt and playfulness, as if she had heard an utterly ridiculous joke. "Don't be in a hurry. Soon, you'll be begging to tell me everything."

Yun Che: "…?"
