Zhan Taiqing’s expression became stiff, and a look of disbelief appeared on her face. She could not believe that Hou Yuxiao, who had always been extremely humble before her, dared to curse her.
Moreover, he had used the term "bitch"!
In fact, with her position in the Rakshasa Holy Sect, there were very few in the world who dared to call her a bitch to her face.
Even though she knew that Hou Yuxiao was now trying to save her, anger still surged in Zhan Taiqing’s heart, and she planned to teach Hou Yuxiao a lesson.
But as she looked up and saw Hou Yuxiao’s red pupils and the black aura gradually emanating around his body, her expression immediately became stern.
This kid has a problem with his body!
More than just a problem, at the moment Hou Yuxiao felt as if millions of fine needles were piercing his Sea of Consciousness. He could not see, and ran wildly south, driven purely by instinct. His consciousness was on the verge of being completely extinguished.
Merit: 359821

Karmic Obstacle: 7091872
The karmic obstacle value on the Merit Gold Page had almost reached twenty times the critical point. The last time the Divine Lotus was problematic was during the Zhaoyang Disturbance, and at that time, with Tian Fazheng’s Confucian treasure and his low cultivation, he narrowly escaped with his life.
This time was different, with no objects related to Confucianism at hand, and seven Qiányáng experts chasing him...
Hou Yuxiao, feeling the seven people getting closer from behind, forcibly maintained his consciousness, grabbed Zhan Taiqing, and raced away. Taking advantage of the Qiányáng cultivation level boosted by the Divine Lotus, he shot out several hundred meters in a blink.
"Old Devout Woman, if you have any tricks up your sleeve, use them now, otherwise, we’re both going to die here!"
At this critical moment of life and death, Hou Yuxiao had no mind for pretenses. He looked down to Zhan Taiqing and directly shouted, unreservedly calling her "Old Devout Woman," a name he usually dared only think in his mind.
Hearing the words "Old Devout Woman," Zhan Taiqing’s expression immediately darkened. However, seeing the overtly abnormal color on Hou Yuxiao’s face, and seemingly thinking of something, she simply turned her head and coldly replied, "No."
"No? You dragged me north just for us to die together?"
"Dying together with me? You wish. Even if these people catch me, they wouldn’t dare do much. So if we’re overtaken, it will just be you who dies, not me!"
Stimulated by her words, Hou Yuxiao’s eyes reddened even more. Realizing that Zhan Taiqing’s words might well come true, he glared at her and growled, "You’re injured and can only be with me. Even if I’m dying, I’ll take you down with me!"
After issuing the threat, he realized that such tension might genuinely offend Zhan Taiqing to death. His tone immediately softened, saying, "The situation is critical. Please, Master... don’t let anger cloud your judgment. I just... enhanced my cultivation forcibly and my Sea of Consciousness is chaotic. That’s why I misspoke. Once the crisis is over, I will definitely... apologize to you, Master. How does that sound?"
Even though the statement was simple, Hou Yuxiao obviously said it with great difficulty. The karmic obstacle within him had nearly occupied his entire Sea of Consciousness, with only a small part of his merit still persevering.
Once the merit was completely suppressed by the karmic obstacle, he would not only lose his mind completely but might even lose his life. So now he could only change his attitude. After all, Zhan Taiqing was the successor to the Sect Hierarch and certainly had more than a few tricks up her sleeve. If he wanted to escape death now, he had to rely on her.
"Just now, weren’t you quite tough?"
It was unclear whether Zhan Taiqing was just arguing with him or doing it on purpose, but seeing his attitude soften, she began to mock him coldly again. Hou Yuxiao was desperately anxious, and Zhan Taiqing in his arms exuded an air of confidence, continuously provoking his mentality and almost driving him mad.
A sudden warmth surged into both their minds. Hou Yuxiao looked down and a hint of mischief appeared in his eyes…
His Qing robe was already dyed red with blood from his wounds. Zhan Taiqing, who had just been injured while fighting against seven, was also stained with blood on her white dress. The two being so close in the air could almost feel each other’s skin.
"Bitch, if you don’t make a move, I’d rather die than let you get away with this…"
With a roar, Hou Yuxiao, while running, reached his hand directly into Zhan Taiqing’s upper garment, grabbing a handful of softness and, without a second thought, squeezed hard.
"Hou Yuxiao, you dare!"
"I’m about to die, what’s there not to dare."
Rip...
Ignoring Zhan Taiqing’s warning, he tore open her undergarment, revealing a shock of white. Sensing they were even closer to each other now, Zhan Taiqing instantly felt immense shame and her face flushed abnormally.
Frankly speaking, even at this critical moment of life and death, even though he was touching Zhan Taiqing in an unspeakable place, Hou Yuxiao had absolutely no lascivious thoughts in his mind. The evil look on his face was also just a pretense, struggling to maintain his last bit of rationality.
He didn’t know what Zhan Taiqing was afraid of, but thinking about it, someone of her high status, powerful abilities, and old age, who had never been involved in any scandals and likely valued chastity highly, he could only resort to this desperate measure.
Zhan Taiqing felt still being controlled by Hou Yuxiao on her chest. The strange sensations emerging from her body, combined with her injuries, left her weak and flushed with both shame and anger.
Yet, seeing the black aura of karmic obstacles swirling around Hou Yuxiao’s body, she gritted her teeth and still managed to suppress the rage in her eyes, and with a slap, she flew his hand away. Find adventures at Freewebnovel
