Chapter 69 67. The second humiliating defeat of the Sword Immortal Lady!
The Sword Immortal Lady with fluttering black hair reflected thousands of thunderbolts in her cold eyes.
Just as she used the Ruoshui sword to create numerous layers of Supreme Goodness Weak Water as a shield.
She had thought this battle would end at that moment, but the current flowing beneath her made her shudder involuntarily.
The current was too weak, and thus her spiritual sense hadn't detected anything amiss.
However, the moment it appeared, her legs twitched involuntarily.
This wasn't pain, but rather a comfortable feeling.
Such a sensation would have been fine under normal circumstances, but now, it was a vulnerability.
"Mmm—"
She couldn't help but let out a long, melodious moan.
Then, Liu Ruoxue immediately realized.
She was still engaged in combat with her opponent.
How could she... be distracted?
However, just as she was about to refocus her mind, another faint current struck.
Out of control, the Thunderous Waterfall wielded by Xu Yuan almost instantaneously shattered the protective layers she had formed.
Immediately, that sword, carrying countless furious bolts, chopped down on her hastily raised ancient sword.
Clang!
Sparks flew, and ripples visible to the naked eye spread layer by layer along the blade.
The current of force and Spiritual Power transmitted from the sword firmly pinned her down, preventing any chance for her to rise.
But...
If that's the case, if they think this will make her concede...
Her body suddenly tensed, her pupils dilated, and she involuntarily swung her legs, biting down hard on her lower lip.
No, she couldn't...
Not here.
At least, she had to hold on until her Master...
left.
The crowd below suddenly cried out in surprise.
They saw Liu Ruoxue's body slowly sinking.
Ding!
The next moment, accompanied by a pleasant ringing of a bell, Liu Ruoxue knelt on one knee, holding her sword, as if in submission.
"You lost."
Xu Yuan watched Liu Ruoxue, whose eyes had become momentarily distant, and spoke indifferently.
"You..."
Liu Ruoxue's long hair was disheveled, resembling blooming seaweed, her eyes shimmering with water.
"Shameless."
She couldn't believe he had hidden such a Formation in there.
She even less expected that he would go too far.
In the final moment, the current, like tidal waves, pierced her repeatedly, causing her entire body to tremble involuntarily, recalling what she had seen that night.
That moment, her cold face like a millennium glacier, also showed a momentary disintegration.
Of course, Xu Yuan knew this happened quickly due to the unique characteristics of the location and the excitement of the mood.
Unfortunately, mere moments were not impressive enough.
If possible, Xu Yuan would have preferred that everyone present could see her blushing, rolling her eyes tearfully, while also throwing up a victory sign with both hands.
However, this would surely have driven Liu Ruoxue to fight him desperately.
As for whether her Master would notice, Xu Yuan wasn't worried.
The Divine Sense of a Primordial Spirit True Person, though very far-reaching, was limited to a million zhang from the summit, just at the edge of the True Person's limit. Moreover, her vestment robe had the effect of shielding Divine Sense.
Even if she could observe, she could only see an outline.
Otherwise, she would have noticed Liu Ruoxue's anomaly much earlier.
"Liu, if I am not mistaken, did she... just lose?!"
"You saw it right! Fang Yuan, you've won!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Cheers erupted in waves, and despite their confusion about the source of the bell sound just now, they truly felt happy for her.
Xu Yuan's expression remained calm as he looked toward Liu Ruoxue.
"Do you need me to help you up? Older sister."
"No need."
Liu Ruoxue angrily brushed away his offered hand, feeling extremely humiliated.
Her humiliation stemmed from her own disappointment as well as resentment toward Xu Yuan.
In such a situation, he had caused her to show such an unsightly state.
As she knelt on one knee just then, she clearly heard her master's sigh near her ear.
Liu Ruoxue had thought about losing to him but had never imagined losing in such a manner, which was exactly the same as their first encounter.
"You say you like me, and yet, is this how you treat me?"
She bit her red lips, but a scene she had just witnessed flashed through her mind.
It was Yun looking enviously at them from below while dejectedly stepping down from the stage.
She always felt something was not quite right.
But that wasn't her main concern.
What she really wanted to do now was to get her revenge on Xu Yuan.
That was also why she had not used her mana to dry her vestment robe.
If he was to use such shameful tactics to defeat her, she would not hesitate to disgust him in return.
In that moment when Liu Ruoxue's expression crumbled on the stone platform, she didn't realize that in Xu Yuan's room, another person was experiencing a similar collapse.
Yun was hugging Xu Yuan's blanket, burying her head and deeply inhaling, after which she licked it several times before letting go reluctantly.
Then, she hesitated slightly.
In the end, she didn't take out her own bedding from her storage bag to swap with his.
Instead, she got down from the bed, opened the wardrobe, looked at the two sets of clothes inside, and took one of them.
"Don't blame me, junior sister. Elder sister has no other choice," she murmured regretfully, before she finally left.
A few moments after she left, Liu Ruoxue's figure slowly descended from the sky.
Upon entering the room, she quickly went to the bed, intending to grab the blanket.
"Where did this wild cat come from?"
She slightly frowned and reluctantly grabbed the relatively clean pillow instead,
and then, she stuffed the pillow in.
"Since you like it so much, then I'll let you experience what it's like to be humiliated."
Liu Ruoxue's pupils constricted as her heartbeat inexplicably started to accelerate.
This was her first time doing such a petty act.
But for some reason, a feeling of exhilaration rose within her heart.
She began to imagine the pillow as Xu Yuan's head while she was using her legs to strangle his neck.
As she tightened her scissor grip, Xu Yuan began to beg for mercy.
Crying, he said he was willing to abandon his sister and fiancée, and to join the Sword Sect for her.
Until a sudden, frantic panting followed.
Liu Ruoxue then came to her senses,
and she realized she had sweated a lot while she was 'strangling'.
Not only had her clothes not dried, they had actually become even wetter.
But none of that mattered.
At the very least, his sleep tonight would be restless.
.....
When Xu Yuan returned to his room, this was the scene he saw before him.
"Where did this wild cat come from?"
