Chapter 112: A Casual Sweep, Leveling the Ground!

Page 1 of 3

“Huh? Following you? Although you are my wife, I wouldn’t do something like that,” Qian Mo shook his head, insisting that he was being wrongly accused. He wasn’t stalking her; he just happened to be passing by.

Yun Yun lay on the ground, her cheeks flushed with a rosy hue, her voice sharp with anger: “Who’s your wife? I never agreed to that, you shameless man! Then why are you here?”

“Oh ho, where in this world can’t I go? I go wherever I want. Remember the token I gave you yesterday?” Qian Mo raised his hand disdainfully.

He then asked Yun Yun about it.

“Token?” Yun Yun recalled how that shameless fellow kissed her yesterday and gave her a token. Then it dawned on her. “Could it be the token?” she asked.

Qian Mo, not wanting to waste time explaining, simply nodded and blamed the token. “Exactly. The token alerted me. When you were struck by the Lion Emperor, I happened to be nearby and sensed its fluctuation, so I came over. I carried you when you fainted. It’s as simple as that.”

Could it really have been the token, not him stalking me? Yun Yun asked doubtfully, “Re-really?”

“Yes, really. I wouldn’t lie to you.” His expression was calm, clearly telling her he was sincere.

“Could you please stop calling yourself ‘My Lord’ all the time? Do you really think you’re so impressive?” Yun Yun muttered under her breath.

Qian Mo smiled slightly. “If not ‘My Lord,’ then you can call me ‘husband,’ since you are indeed my wife. Also, you should correct yourself—I’m not just impressive; I am…” He smirked devilishly and said, “overflowing with yang energy. I need my wife to help me calm it down.” With that, Qian Mo slowly approached Yun Yun.

Yun Yun’s face immediately turned pale with fear. She struggled to sit up, moving her hands backward and said anxiously, “Don’t come near me! I’m not your wife! Stay away!”

“Wife, don’t be shy. It’s just the two of us here. Let’s get married quickly. Isn’t that wonderful?” Qian Mo squatted in front of Yun Yun and spoke softly.

“Go away! If you don’t, I’ll show you what death looks like!” Yun Yun drew the Jade Peak Sword from her ring and placed it at her neck, shouting.

“You’re so beautiful; if you die, husband won’t waste you,” Qian Mo said with a charming lick of his lips.

Yun Yun’s face turned pale. The Jade Peak Sword trembled in her hand as she pointed it at him. “How could you do this?” Tears welled in her eyes. “You only know how to bully me!” she sobbed.

“Wife, your cultivation has been sealed by the Lion Emperor’s spell, so you’re just a weak woman now. You need me to protect you. Yun Yun, give me a chance to protect you, will you?” Qian Mo’s tone was serious, no hint of joking, his expression that of a perfect actor.

Hearing this, Yun Yun’s heart skipped a beat, her cheeks flushed deeper. Looking at Qian Mo, she asked, “How do you know my name?”

“Yun Yun, current sect leader of the Yunlan Sect. There’s nothing in this world that I, Qian Mo, don’t know,” he said with a warm smile.

“If you know I’m the sect leader of Yunlan Sect, how dare you treat me like this? Wait till my master Yun Shan comes to deal with you!” Yun Yun smiled mischievously, invoking her master’s name.

“Yunlan Sect? Don’t mention your little Yunlan Sect. Even the entire Gamma Empire can be wiped out with a single flick of my hand if I want,” Qian Mo said, shaking his head slightly, showing no respect.

“Hmph, all talk! Don’t insult our Yunlan Sect!” Yun Yun’s eyes sharpened as she glared at him.

“You’re mistaken, Yun Yun. I’m not belittling any place; I’m simply telling the truth.” He pointed outside and said, “Wife, watch closely, don’t blink.”

With a casual flick, Qian Mo unleashed an overwhelmingly powerful force that swept outside.

Yun Yun felt the power radiating from him and thought, “So strong!”

In an instant, the forests and magical beasts outside vanished, turning into an empty, flat plain.

Yun Yun propped herself up with both hands, her eyes narrowing with disbelief. “So, so powerful!”

Within moments, only the cave in the mountain range remained intact; everything else had turned to bare ground.

“Wife, do you still think I’m insulting or belittling your sect now?” Qian Mo slowly stepped toward Yun Yun, his voice lowering until he stood before her.

Yun Yun shook her head unconsciously. She truly believed him now. Even her master Yun Shan couldn’t do this—not that he couldn’t, but it was impossible for him to flatten everything with just a wave of his hand.

“But some magical beasts are innocent; they shouldn’t have died. And there are other innocent villagers here as well,” Yun Yun hesitated and shook her head.

Qian Mo forcefully pulled Yun Yun into his embrace. “My wife, you are still kind-hearted.” He lowered his head and whispered gently in her ear, “Do you want this place restored to how it was?”

Yun Yun nodded without hesitation.

Qian Mo smiled faintly. “If I restore it, will you be happy?”

“Yes.”

“Will you be my wife then?”

“Yes…” Yun Yun was swept up in his rhythm and nodded immediately, but then quickly corrected herself, “No!”

“I heard your answer, wife,” Qian Mo said with a smile. He activated the dimensional laws of the Immortal Slayer realm, the law of time, and waved his hand in the air, loudly commanding, “Return! Time!”

Instantly, the entire mountain range was enveloped by his words. A white light flashed before Yun Yun’s eyes. When she opened them again, the plain had returned to the original mountain range filled with magical beasts.

“This…” Yun Yun couldn’t believe her eyes and quickly rubbed them to confirm it wasn’t an illusion.

Seeing Yun Yun stunned, Qian Mo smiled slightly and swept her up in a princess carry.

“Ah! Put me down!” Yun Yun blushed furiously, struggling and punching Qian Mo.

“Wife, I advise you not to move. You’re very tempting like this. My yang energy is strong now; I can’t guarantee I won’t do something excessive,” Qian Mo said with a sly smile.

Yun Yun stopped struggling immediately. This guy feared nothing. What if he really did something to her? What would she do?

So she obediently allowed herself to be held. Seeing her calm down, Qian Mo slowly savored the moment.

Suddenly, Yun Yun’s stomach made a rumbling sound.

Her face flushed even more, filled with embarrassment.

“Wife must be hungry. I just grilled a Golden Spear Dragonfish for you to try,” Qian Mo said with a smile.

“Golden Spear Dragonfish! A sixth-rank magical beast!” Yun Yun exclaimed.

“What? It’s a sixth-rank magical beast? I just casually defeated it—it doesn’t seem that formidable,” Qian Mo said, oblivious to its rank. To him, it was just food.

Yun Yun gave him a sidelong glance. He casually flattened an entire magical beast mountain range—now that’s a real sixth-rank magical beast.

Near the grill, Qian Mo waved his hand, and a small sofa appeared inside the cave. He gently placed Yun Yun down and then moved to the grill.

For someone like Yun Yun who had never seen a sofa before, it seemed quite marvelous. She lay down on it and found it very comfortable.

“What is this thing?” Yun Yun asked, pointing to the sofa.

“A sofa. Just think of it as a kind of chair,” Qian Mo explained.

Blushing, Yun Yun shyly asked, “Could you give me one to keep in my sect’s room? I’ll trade something for it.”

Qian Mo blinked and looked at her casually. “Does your Yunlan Sect have anything that could attract me?”

Yun Yun thought about it and realized that for someone as strong as him, Yunlan Sect probably had nothing to offer. She felt a bit disappointed but quickly smiled again at his words.

“If you like it, I’ll give it to you for free since you’re my wife,” Qian Mo added emphatically.

Blushing, Yun Yun asked, “Do you, a strong warrior like you, really like a weak woman like me?”

Qian Mo inwardly chuckled and said, “Why wouldn’t I like you? Unlike those hypocritical strong men, I enjoy a simple, peaceful life. If you’re weak, I can protect you. If you’re not strong, I can make you strong. Since you’re my woman, I will naturally be responsible for you.”

He then picked up the Dragonfish and offered it to Yun Yun. She sniffed the fish, its aroma rich and enticing, and swallowed her saliva.

“Eat, don’t be polite,” Qian Mo said.

Drawn by the aroma and her hunger, Yun Yun didn’t hesitate and bit into the fish. The meat was tender and oily in her mouth.

“So fragrant,” Yun Yun’s eyes lit up.

Looking up at Qian Mo’s large stove, she asked, “Qian Mo, can I call you that?”

Qian Mo frowned and shook his head. “No, that sounds too ordinary and distant. Call me either ‘Mo’ or ‘Husband.’ Your choice.”

“Hmph, you shameless man! I never agreed to be your wife.” Yun Yun sniffed and said this, but inwardly thought that having such a strong man as her husband would be beneficial for the Yunlan Sect. If he joined, the sect would gain a powerful protector.

Then she quietly added, “I might consider being your wife… if you promise me one thing.”

Qian Mo’s eyes brightened instantly. “Oh? What is it?”

“Join the Yunlan Sect, and then I’ll be your wife.” Yun Yun looked at him intently.

Indeed, the little girl was considerate. I murmured to myself, “Join… the Yunlan Sect?”

I shook my head. “I don’t like being tied down. I love freedom. I want to keep traveling and see the great world.”

Hearing this, Yun Yun suddenly understood. Someone as strong as him shouldn’t be bound to the Yunlan Sect. She realized she had been selfish.

However, Qian Mo said, “But if it means sacrificing a little freedom for you, I’m willing, as long as you don’t lie to me. Be my wife. Otherwise, if I get angry, the Yunlan Sect won’t survive.”

“I won’t lie. What I say, I’ll do,” Yun Yun replied.

“Kiss me,” Qian Mo said, grabbing Yun Yun’s chin with a smile.

Before he could speak further, Yun Yun’s lips were silenced by his.

Yun Yun didn’t resist and blushed deeply.

After parting, Qian Mo licked his lips. “My wife’s lips are as sweet as ever. Wonderful.”

“What are you planning to do here in the Magical Beast Mountain Range?” Qian Mo asked.

Yun Yun told him about the situation with Gu He. Qian Mo immediately burst out laughing.

“Haha! That’s hilarious! I can’t stop laughing!” he said, laughing heartily.

“Stop laughing!” Yun Yun said, but she found herself laughing too.

“It’s not my fault. I just can’t help it!” Qian Mo said, clutching his stomach.

“Wife, don’t worry. Since I’m here, I’ll call that Amethyst Winged Lion Emperor for you. I could use a flying mount anyway. It dared to attack you; I’ll teach it a lesson,” Qian Mo said, stroking Yun Yun’s hair.

“Mmm,” Yun Yun felt a warm glow in her heart.

“Eat the fish first. It’s accompanied by Amethyst Essence. No rush. It can’t run away anyway. Fill your stomach first,” Qian Mo said.

“Mm,” Yun Yun nodded and lowered her head to savor the fragrant fish.

“Aren’t you eating?” Yun Yun paused and asked.

“I’m not hungry. You eat. Watching you eat makes me full,” Qian Mo said.

“Cheeky,” Yun Yun thought happily.

Yun Yun was indeed hungry and quickly finished the several pounds of Dragonfish meat.

She let out a small burp, her cheeks red with embarrassment.

“Excuse my manners,” she said.

Qian Mo smiled. “It’s nothing.”

He reached out, but before Yun Yun could move, Qian Mo said, “Don’t move. I’ll help you lift the seal placed by the Amethyst Winged Lion Emperor.”

“Mm.” Yun Yun, wanting to dodge, immediately became obedient.

Seeing the little woman act so meek, Qian Mo smiled victoriously.

He placed his hand on Yun Yun’s forehead, fingers moving slightly. A burst of Dou Qi entered her body, instantly breaking the seal.

With the seal lifted, Yun Yun’s four-star Dou Emperor Dou Qi instantly radiated out.

“How do you feel?” Qian Mo asked, smiling.

“Good. Very good. It feels very comfortable,” Yun Yun replied with a slight smile, feeling the power of her Dou Qi.

Qian Mo bought a Youth Preservation Pill from the system. A small flash appeared in his right palm, and a pill materialized before his eyes.

He gave the pill to Yun Yun.

The Youth Preservation Pill ensures that anyone who takes it, whether man, woman, or magical beast, will retain their youthful beauty forever.

Yun Yun looked at it, puzzled. “What kind of pill is this?”

“This is a Youth Preservation Pill,” Qian Mo said.

“Youth Preservation… pill?”

“Yes. If you take it, you will forever keep your youthful appearance. Do you want it? If not, I’ll throw it away.”

Qian Mo prepared to toss it, but Yun Yun quickly stopped him. “Who said I don’t want it? Such a good thing, it’d be a waste!”

“Hmph! Give it here,” Yun Yun said without bothering to be polite. After all, this shameless fellow had already made his intentions clear.

She took it and swallowed it.

As the pill took effect, a faint glow radiated from her face.

Yun Yun looked even brighter, more beautiful, and more alluring than before.

Looking at her transformed appearance, Qian Mo said, “Wife, you’re truly beautiful.”

“What? Was I not beautiful before?” Yun Yun smiled seductively. Her smile was deeply captivating—truly enchanting.

“Beautiful.”

“What are you staring at? Didn’t you say you’d help me get the Amethyst Essence? Let’s go. I’m drooling,” Yun Yun said, twirling her slender hair with her jade-like hand, giving me a teasing look before turning and walking away.

“Ah, oh, okay, I’m coming now, I’m coming,” I snapped out of it, wiping the drool from the corner of my mouth, and hurried to follow her. From behind, I grabbed her slender waist and lifted her into a princess carry.

Startled, Yun Yun’s body trembled, her strength seemingly drained. She opened her lips in shock. “W-what are you doing? I warn you, don’t try anything here, or I won’t let you off!”

Hearing this, Qian Mo understood she feared he might take advantage of her. He reassured her, “Don’t worry, wife. Although my yang energy is strong, I won’t act on it here. If it flares up, it’ll wait until we’re back at your family’s home.”

Yun Yun’s face flushed as she murmured, “Even then, you’re not allowed…”

Qian Mo laughed heartily. “Haha! Let’s go.”

——

At the entrance of the Lion Emperor’s cave, Qian Mo carried Yun Yun there.

The Lion Emperor, sensing an intruder, immediately flew out of the cave. Seeing it was the same woman who had disturbed its hibernation earlier, it roared furiously: “Human, why are you back? I’ve sealed your cultivation, yet you dare to come?”

Roar! Roar! ——————

“Stop roaring. Your breath stinks!” Qian Mo frowned, looking disgusted, waving his hand.

“Pfft.” Yun Yun couldn’t help but laugh at that charming expression.

“You insolent human! You dare mock me? You must be courting death! Die!” The Lion Emperor furiously unleashed its strongest attack, a massive purple beam shooting from its horn toward Qian Mo and Yun Yun.

“Watch out!” Yun Yun blurted, tightly gripping Qian Mo’s hand.

Qian Mo smiled and held her close, bracing for the attack.

Roar—

The purple beam passed through Qian Mo. Yun Yun closed her eyes, a golden aura enveloping her entire body—the Great Flame Golden Body.

Seeing his attack hit both of them, the Lion Emperor laughed arrogantly. “Ha! Two insignificant humans, barely grown fur, coming to provoke me. Now you shall perish! Serves you right!” It turned to go back into its cave to continue hibernating.

“Little Lion, who do you call insignificant?” a clear voice sounded from within the beam. It was Qian Mo.

The Lion Emperor hurriedly turned around, sweat beading its forehead. The beam disappeared, and Qian Mo stood half a meter in front of it. Feeling Qian Mo’s immense aura, the Lion Emperor leapt backward, eyes locking with his. Suddenly, its body trembled uncontrollably. The Lion Emperor was shocked and asked itself: Why am I shaking? Why am I afraid of a human? Who is this man?

A series of questions raced through its mind.

Qian Mo gently set Yun Yun down while carrying her.

Yun Yun slowly opened her eyes, relieved to be safe.

“Hey, put me down,” she said from his embrace.

Qian Mo ignored her, holding her tighter, eyes narrowing at the Lion Emperor.

Yun Yun glanced between Qian Mo and the Lion Emperor, realizing it was best to stop resisting and enjoy being held. The feeling was quite pleasant. She relaxed and watched the scene quietly.

The Lion Emperor raised its guard. “Human, what do you want?” Its heart pounded with fear.

Qian Mo’s tone was calm, not negotiating but commanding: “Submit or die. Choose one.”

Though calm, his voice carried an undeniable authority—overbearing and commanding.

Yun Yun looked at this new side of Qian Mo. It was like seeing a completely different person. The joking, playful Qian Mo was gone, replaced by a mature, commanding presence that radiated safety and power, like a sovereign ruling the world.

So handsome! This aura was even more attractive. What woman wouldn’t be drawn to such strength? Yun Yun’s cheeks flushed, her heart racing.

The Lion Emperor snarled in anger, “Human, don’t bully the Lion too much!” and roared loudly.

“No, you’re wrong,” Qian Mo shook his head slowly. “I’m not bullying anyone. This is the truth of this world—might makes right. Since I’m stronger, you have no choice but to submit. If I say you die, no one can save you, or I’ll destroy whoever tries to keep you alive, even your entire clan!”

“And I’m not here to negotiate, nor do you have the standing to negotiate! Choose—live or die. If you don’t answer, I’ll decide for you!” His eyes narrowed as a terrifying aura spread over the entire Magical Beast Mountain Range. All life within trembled, cowering and sweating profusely.

Such a terrifying aura, filled with murderous intent, made the Lion Emperor break out in cold sweat.

“I hate wasting time. Since you won’t answer, I’ll choose for you,” Qian Mo said coldly, raising his brow. “Die!”

At those words, the Lion Emperor and Yun Yun’s hearts jumped.

Qian Mo’s eyes narrowed as an invisible terrifying energy gathered overhead, forming a giant hand. The Lion Emperor and Yun Yun watched in horror—the strike would surely kill if it landed.

The Lion Emperor tried to flee, but its legs trembled, and its strength vanished. As the golden hand approached, it swallowed nervously.

The hand didn’t hesitate and slammed down.

“No! No! I submit!” the Lion Emperor cried.

The fingers of the hand struck the ground, creating five huge holes around the Lion Emperor, the palm stopping just a joint’s length away.

The Lion Emperor was terrified, panting heavily, thinking, “I nearly died. That was so real—I can’t die, I still have a child!”

The hand vanished before the Lion Emperor’s eyes. Qian Mo smiled slightly. “Little Lion, you made a wise choice. Submission is the right choice.”

“Not like you left me any options… damn bastard!” the Lion Emperor cursed inwardly but said aloud, “I submit, but I have one condition.”

“If you’re submitting, why so many conditions? Let me guess, it’s about your cub inside the cave,” Qian Mo said.

“Cub?” Yun Yun asked, surprised she hadn’t noticed another lion in the cave.

“How do you know that?” the Lion Emperor’s eyes widened.

“Hmph, there’s nothing in this world that I, Qian Mo, don’t know,” he replied dismissively.

“Well, could you bring my child with you? Leaving him here would mean other magical beasts might bully him,” the Lion Emperor pleaded, softening at the thought of its young.

“Fine. Here are two master-servant contracts. You and your child each drip a drop of blood on them,” Qian Mo said, waving his hand. Two ancient scrolls emitting white light appeared.

The Lion Emperor looked at them. “I’ll go into the cave and bring my child out.”

“Go ahead,” Qian Mo said calmly.
