The Villainous Eldest Senior Brother and His Yandere Junior Sisters-Chapter 397 - 171 - The Empress Mother is Insulted! Ye Chen: Rationality! How do you expect me to stay rational! _1
Please, madam! Ye Chen: Rationality? How do you want me to be rational?
「The Coiling Dragon Abyss, Demon Suppression Tower.」
After entering the Demon Suppression Tower’s forest, using the Chairman token from my Master Xiao Hongling as proof, Lin Xiao and Nangong Biyao concealed their presence, lurking in a patch of grass outside the Demon Suppression Tower.
"Princess Consort, please bear with it a little longer. He will come out soon," Lin Xiao said.
"I vaguely sense Prince Ye’s aura, but... his aura has intertwined with the fiend’s, as if they’ve established some sort of connection." Lin Xiao’s gaze deepened as he looked ahead.
Around the Demon Suppression Tower, where the Sky Yin Blood Demon was sealed, heavy demonic shadows and a thick blood-mist swirled, reaching towards the sky and continuously morphing into terrifying apparitions.
"Hmm, I too can sense the fiend’s inherent baleful blood energy; it has even subtly infiltrated the tower’s seal!" Nangong Biyao murmured. "I fear... your Qinglan Sect is in grave danger."
Nangong Biyao’s slender, jade-like body lay prostrate on the grass. Her delicate brows were tightly furrowed, and her exquisitely beautiful face, imbued with the distinct charm of a married woman, was etched with a grim severity. At this moment, she remained completely oblivious to the handsome yet dangerous young man beside her, who had stealthily slipped his hand beneath her skirt and rested it upon her hip.
According to the timeline revealed in the Heavenly Path script in my mind, the Sky Yin Blood Demon should still have seven or eight days before its seal is completely broken. By then, the Eight Great Demon Sects will have surrounded the mountain. But now... why would this fiend choose to draw upon the original source of its Demon Core to forcefully break the seal ahead of schedule?
Nangong Biyao pressed her lips together, her pretty face as grave as still water. Just then, she felt an unusual, pleasant tickle from beneath her, but she was too preoccupied to pay it any mind.
After a period of intense concentration and contemplation, she gradually understood everything.
Yes! That was it!
Ever since the Five Branches martial competition of the Qinglan Sect, where her son, Ye Chen, was defeated and lost an arm to this detestable Lin Xiao, the plot had changed! First, her adopted daughter Ye Xuan’er had stormed in from the North Territory, fiercely defending Beacon City, the crucial fortress in the conflict between the righteous and demonic factions. Then, Daoist Demonic Pig, the Sky Yin Demon Sect spy infiltrating the Qinglan Sect, was prematurely exposed and executed on the spot! All of these events in the real world had completely deviated from the Heavenly Path script!
And the instigator of all this was—
At this moment, a jolt went through her. Her beautiful eyes widened as she involuntarily looked at the handsome young man beside her. She saw that at some unknown point, he had moved behind her. His handsome eyes were deep, his expression focused, as if he were... admiring something?
"How dare you!" Nangong Biyao finally realized what was happening. She hurriedly tugged at the hem of her dress, her face flushed with fury. "You... you lecher! If you dare disrespect me again, I will cut off your head without a shred of mercy!"
As she spoke, her beautiful eyes turned icy, her dainty fists clenched until they CRACKED, and beneath her phoenix crown, her long, flowing hair was whipped about by her powerful aura, cascading like a waterfall. She looked like an ice-cold, merciless Asura goddess of slaughter! Indeed, she possessed some of the domineering aura of a top prodigy from the Upper Realm, like the Jade Pool Goddess!
However, what she never would have imagined was that, facing her terrifying pressure, the young man before her merely shook his head faintly, his tone exceedingly gentle. "Princess Consort, be good, won’t you? Don’t ruin important matters."
"Ah, you..." In an instant, Nangong Biyao’s furious eyes gradually lost their focus. Her vermillion lips parted and closed; she wanted to rebuke him loudly but found herself at a loss for words! Having weathered the storms of two lifetimes, she was... utterly flustered!
Surely, any other man in this world, faced with her fiery anger, would have been scared out of his wits and apologized profusely. However, this presumptuous young man not only showed no fear but acted with even greater audacity!
She then felt a warm, gentle touch on her head. He had actually reached out and gently stroked the hair on her forehead.
This posture... It was as if he were appeasing a small, angry kitten!
"If the Princess Consort holds any resentment towards me, you can voice it later. As for now..." Lin Xiao gazed intently at the Demon Suppression Tower, where ominous signs were multiplying. His expression was grave as he said, "You wouldn’t want the Blood Demon to sense your presence, make some threatening moves prematurely, and harm your precious son, Ye Chen, would you?"
"I..." Nangong Biyao’s expression darkened. She quickly suppressed her aura and gritted her teeth. "Alright, I was too rash just now. However... it’s still as I said! Immortal Lin, as long as you can safely rescue my son this time, I will absolutely not pursue the past grievances between you and him. But!"
As she said this, her cheeks turned a shade of crimson, and with a touch of shyness, she continued, "I am a married woman, the biological mother of the esteemed Princely Heir of Beichuan! If Immortal Lin makes any further offensive moves, don’t blame me for casting all decorum aside! This is my—"
"Bottom line, right?" Lin Xiao chuckled, cutting her off. "Gosh, Princess Consort, rest assured. I’m also a person with principles."
"Hmph, you claim to have principles? You were clearly looking at my..." At this, an unknown thought made Nangong Biyao’s stunning face turn an even deeper shade of red.
"Looking at your what?" Lin Xiao pressed, genuinely curious.
"Let’s drop it!" Nangong Biyao turned her head away.
"I think the Princess Consort has misunderstood," Lin Xiao said, shaking his head with an earnest expression. "I was merely recalling what I read in medical texts: that a woman’s body changes after childbirth, and the acupoints around the pelvis may shift slightly. So, I was observing out of curiosity earlier. I found that the Princess Consort’s figure is exquisite and well-proportioned. Not only has it not changed in the slightest, but it has become even more graceful and alluring. I suspect..."
