CHAPTER 169: 169 - I HOPE IT WASN’T AN INNOCENT.

Ruyan’s words made Qingyi completely freeze.

Why on earth had she only said that now? Was that girl crazy?

He couldn’t help shuddering as he turned towards Ruxue, who didn’t look happy at all.

"A demon, really? Did you really have to fuck a damn demon?" She took a threatening step towards Qingyi.

"Well... a half-demon actually..."

"Fuck it! Ugh... couldn’t you be more careful where you stick that dick?" Ruxue shouted as she grabbed the sheath of the Heaven-Defying Thunder Sword, hitting Qingyi on the head with it.

"Argh! That hurts! I’m pretty sure I’m worse than a demon, I won’t judge her because of that!" Qingyi raised his arms defensively.

"You don’t kill innocent people because of a single twisted look!"

"How do you know? I’ve never killed innocent people because I’ve never had a reason to kill any innocent people! If I had, I would definitely kill them!"

Unfortunately for him, those words only stoked Ruxue’s anger even more.

"If you had a reason to kill them, they wouldn’t be innocent!"

"Uh? Where the hell did you get that logic from?"

The spatial tremor that followed was like a blessing from heaven for Qingyi, who finally found an excuse to embrace Ruxue, silencing her with a passionate kiss.

"If you don’t want us to die here, let’s stop this discussion, okay?"

Ruxue blushed, nodding silently before turning back to the Heaven-Defying Thunder Sword.

Qingyi leapt from the ceiling to where his master lay, catching the silver-haired beauty in his arms before starting to run.

"Where should the exit be?" Qingyi asked Ruxue, who had already calmed down.

"The normal thing is to be expelled immediately from the secret realm upon completion, but since you haven’t been expelled yet, I believe you still need to do something."

"Do something?" A doubt appeared on Qingyi’s face, his eyes soon focusing on the dragon’s corpse.

Right, the prize wasn’t just the lineage of the scarlet dragon, there was also the body, which in itself was an incomparable treasure.

If it wasn’t that, the answer would probably lie with one of the elders.

It was normal for them to also have artifacts that would take them out of the secret realm when necessary, that’s how the previous expeditions had escaped when they failed.

Unfortunately, Qingyi didn’t have time to look through them.

"Ruxue, can I send this corpse to your world of the mind?" He asked, worried. His space ring didn’t have enough room for that corpse.

"Yes, but I’m pretty sure you don’t need to have the body in your space ring, just claiming it should be enough."

"Claim it?" Qingyi’s face was filled with doubt. What on earth did she mean by claiming that body?

"Ah... Just touch it."

Qingyi nodded before approaching the dragon, pressing her hands to it. The next moment, an intense light left the dragon’s body and on the horizon, a portal of light appeared.

But it wasn’t the portal that caught Qingyi’s attention, in fact, it was the system notification that appeared in front of him.

[You have come into contact with the corpse of a pure-blooded dragon, absorbing its essence can lead to gains in your bloodline].

’Was that a real pureblood dragon?’ Qingyi widened his eyes, reading the message again and again. What on earth was a pure-blooded dragon doing in a place like this?

Qingyi opened the system screen, looking at his reserve of lust points.

[Name: Long Qingyi

Age: 19

Cultivation: Second stage of the Iron body realm (12.00 lust points to upgrade)

Affinities: Lightning 98 - Sword: 97 - Charm: 1000 (can be upgraded in the lust store)

Spiritual roots: High-level lightning sword root (100.000 lust points to upgrade, new roots can be bought in the lust store).

Bloodline: Blood of the Corruption Dragon God (Epic grade, 500,000 lust points to upgrade.)

Constitution: Body of the primordial dragon (Epic grade, 500,000 lust points to upgrade.)

Lust points: 454,342]

The rewards for fucking Ruyan had been absurd.

Just one touch had snatched hundreds of lust points from her and the act of taking her virginity had rewarded him with more than 50,000 lust points for each hole.

He was richer than ever, but above all, he was closer than ever to improving his level of lineage and constitution.

If the system’s words were real...

Qingyi could hardly imagine himself with a legendary-grade lineage, the same level as the bloodline of the poisonous beauty, Tang Biyue.

With a sigh, he closed his eyes, remembering the huge serpent that Biyue had revealed to him.

If he could finally use the lineage manifestation... how many cultivation realms would he be able to cross?

" Let’s go, this place won’t last long!" Ruxue warned, her voice carrying a slight hint of anxiety.

"Right," Qingyi said, looking towards the portal.

In the next moment, the ground beneath his feet cracked, space itself seeming to bend as an intense darkness approached from the horizon.

They seemed to have much less time than he thought.

Gritting his teeth, Qingyi stored the dragon’s body in the Ruxue world of the mind and held his master tightly in his arms as he activated the Lightning Steps at maximum speed.

***

Dozens of powerful explosions took over the skies of Scarlet Dragon City as experts from the Burning Blood Realm fought against demonic cultivators.

Young Master Shen ran through the chaos, his eyes tearing up as he called out for his father.

But no one answered him, his guards were nowhere to be seen and the elders were busy fighting for their own lives.

He finally reached the courtyard where the huge dragon statue stood, gazing longingly at it.

If only Ruyan or the great elder had already come out, he would have a chance.

Unfortunately, that would probably take weeks.

He turned to run in another direction, but soon an intense light emerged from the dragon’s mouth, a shadowy figure flying towards young master Shen.

He barely had time to scream before he was hit and thrown against a wall.

"Ugh... fuck!" Qingyi grunted as he stood up.

He had taken off with more speed than he thought and had lost control.

Fortunately, he managed to turn around in time and protect his teachers.

"What the fuck?" He stood up, looking at the bloody mass crushed between his back and the wall. Had he just crushed someone?

"God, I hope it wasn’t an innocent."
