Chapter 289: Qingyu Phoenix: Why Are They Doing That on My Back?

On Qingqiu Mountain, two figures clashed repeatedly.

The land below had long since shattered into nothingness, the once-beautiful scenery completely erased.

“Junior Sister, stop resisting!

“You’re no match for me in your current state!”

Senior Sister Lin wielded her staff like an invincible divine weapon, shattering Feng Laiyi’s attacks.

Meanwhile, Feng Laiyi’s aura had become completely erratic, her face flushed red, and her eyes showed a dazed look.

The Heavenly Desire Gu Poison, though called a poison, was actually a powerful aphrodisiac.

Under normal circumstances, she could suppress it effortlessly.

But now? Impossible.

Bang!

Senior Sister Lin seized an opening, sending Feng Laiyi flying hundreds of meters before she barely managed to stabilize herself.

Huff!

Heat radiated off her body.

Her mind was growing increasingly hazy, filled with strange thoughts, all of them about one particular person.

Whether her eyes were open or closed, that young figure remained in her mind.

The heavens trembled.

Countless ripples spread through the void.

“Third Elder!” Senior Sister Lin turned around, her expression respectful.

The sky shattered, revealing a massive corridor.

From within, a shadow slowly emerged.

“Damn it!” Feng Laiyi gritted her teeth.

She could feel that loathsome presence, Zhengyi Holy Land!

Screech!

Suddenly, a piercing cry echoed through the heavens.

Feng Laiyi turned her head.

A massive Qingyu Phoenix was speeding toward her. On its back was Meng Changqing!

In the blink of an eye, he arrived before her.

“Why are you here? Leave, now!” Her voice was urgent.

This battlefield was no place for a mere Marquis.

“You—” Seeing her state, Meng Changqing instantly felt that something was off.

But he didn’t have time to ask.

Without hesitation, he grabbed Feng Laiyi’s hand and leaped onto the Qingyu Phoenix’s back.

Screech!

The phoenix spread its wings, fleeing at top speed.

“Leaving?!” Senior Sister Lin’s eyes turned cold.

She had expected some powerful expert, but it was just a mere Marquis?

Trying to steal someone from under my nose?

Utterly laughable!

Just as she was about to make a move, the entire sky froze.

A terrifying presence descended, making even her expression shift drastically.

“You have… a guardian?” On the phoenix’s back, Feng Laiyi also sensed the new presence, her expression changing slightly.

The aura was immense, at least peak Royal level. Perhaps even…

But how could a mere Tai Xuan Sect, a sect full of nobodies, have someone like this?

Meng Changqing said nothing.

He stared ahead.

In this battlefield, staying even a second longer was dangerous.

He had to leave and fast. No need for him to push.

The Qingyu Phoenix was already giving it everything.

It never thought a small seventh-level beast like itself would one day be caught in a battle of this level.

This was definitely something to brag about to other beasts in the future!

More importantly, its respect for its master grew even stronger.

Who would have thought that Meng Changqing, already a monstrous talent, also had such a terrifying guardian behind him?

Even just sensing that aura made its scalp tingle, its whole body tremble.

Nn~

Suddenly, a soft, alluring sound escaped Feng Laiyi’s lips.

The dagger embedded in her chest continued injecting the Heavenly Desire Gu Poison.

She could suppress it no longer.

Her vision locked onto Meng Changqing’s cold, chiseled profile.

At that moment, All her emotions and desires exploded.

“Ah, whatever… Might as well let you have this advantage.” She sighed internally.

But oddly enough, she didn’t feel repulsed by the idea.

A formation activated, blocking out all external perception.

Then, she wrapped her arms around Meng Changqing’s neck.

In his shocked gaze, she kissed him.

Far away, three terrifying entities clashed.

And yet, here, another kind of battle erupted.

Clothes scattered. White waves surged.

The Qingyu Phoenix was speechless. “How did this escalate so quickly?! Right on my back???”

More importantly, Could this powerful woman please control her strength?

I am just a tiny seventh-rank beast!

I can’t withstand these impacts!

“I can’t take this ‘puchi puchi’ anymore!” Shame filled its heart.

As a beast, it had no experience in such matters.

Its inherited memories covered the mating rituals of demon beasts, but for humans?

This was its first time witnessing something so… intense.

The visual impact was too much.

“When can I finally take human form?” tthe thought surfaced in its mind.

Sea beasts and land beasts had different transformation timelines. For it, reaching human form wouldn’t be possible until the eighth rank.

But for now, it had to endure.

It dared not disturb the two figures on its back. All it could do was focus on flying.

And pray it wouldn’t get caught in the energy waves behind them.

Half a day later, the Qingyu Phoenix had long since flown far away. And the two on its back had finally stopped fighting.

Silence.

Stillness.

Only the howling wind remained between heaven and earth.

Feng Laiyi lay on Meng Changqing’s chest, her face flushed red, unwilling to lift her head.

As for Meng Changqing, he felt like he was in a dream.

Everything had happened too suddenly.

“So… I just got… taken advantage of?” A strange smile appeared on his face.

His right hand twitched slightly, the sensation was incredible.

“What are you doing?” Feng Laiyi’s voice was soft, tinged with shyness.

Scenes from earlier flashed in her mind, making her even more embarrassed.

“Nothing. Just making sure I’m not dreaming,” Meng Changqing replied.

He gave another squeeze.

“Yup. Feels very real.”

“……”

Feng Laiyi rolled her eyes, then finally lifted her head to meet his gaze.

“It really does feel like a dream. I, a dignified Royal-level cultivator, guarded my purity for four hundred years… only to be taken by you, a mere brat.”

“Hold on, let’s be clear. I was the victim here.” Meng Changqing smirked. “A mighty Royal like you made a move. How could I possibly resist? I had no choice but to let you ‘handle’ me.”

“You—!” Feng Laiyi recalled how she had acted earlier. She really had pounced on him like a crazed beast…

“Tch. Whatever. I’m a generous person. I’ll let this slide.” Meng Changqing said casually.

Despite being a Holy Land Master, Feng Laiyi still lacked thick skin when it came to this sort of thing. At least for now.

That would change with time. So, hearing Meng Changqing’s words, she couldn’t stand it anymore.

She lightly punched him.

“Watch it!

“I think you’re the one asking for punishment. No, a spanking.”

Meng Changqing flipped over.

As the ancient saying goes, the battle never truly ends. It merely pauses for a moment.
