Chapter 265

The night wind blew through Ling She Peak, wailing as it passed through the old pine trees in the courtyard tied with red silk.

It was like the weak murmur of a woman, intermittent, finally dissipating in the deepest darkness before dawn.

It was not until the second half of the night that a figure silently retreated from the night of Ling She Peak.

It was none other than Jiang Ye.

At this time, he had removed that disguise mask, and his whole body exuded a feeling of refreshing clarity.

Sharp golden light flickered in his eyes, as if they were two sharp swords about to pierce through his body, and every blink caused the air in front of him to emit a tiny hissing sound.

"This Metal Spirit Body is indeed more extraordinary than I imagined..."

Jiang Ye murmured softly in his heart.

At this very moment, a stormy sea was surging within his dantian.

Five Divine Qi pills rotated slowly.

And in their very center, a sharp, dazzling golden light hung.

That light was like a sharp sword compressed to the extreme, every breath emitting a heart-palpitating sharpness, as if it were going to pierce his dantian from the inside out.

This was the origin of the Metal Spirit Body he had seized from Jiang Jiang Chuxue's body by unleashing the "Five Elements Spirit-Seizing Chaos True Explanation."

Compared to the origin of the Dual-Heart Spirit Body he had seized from Hua Ning before, the origin of this Metal Spirit Body was far more aggressive.

The origin of the Dual-Heart Spirit Body had also resisted when it was being refined, but that resistance was more like the instinctive struggle of a young beast after being captured.

While the origin of the Metal Spirit Body was like a venomous snake that had been provoked, naturally wanting to bite people.

Fortunately, the Five Elements True Divine Qi in his dantian was sufficiently thick, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to withstand it.

Jiang Ye looked back at the courtyard shrouded in night, the corners of his mouth curling into a meaningful arc.

Not to mention Jiang Jiang Chuxue's overbearing provocation toward him at the Weapon Forging Hall that day.

Just based on his relationship with Zheng Feng, he had to help this little brother vent the anger that had accumulated for many years.

Therefore, he had not been polite at all...

A moment later, Jiang Ye withdrew his gaze with a cold sneer, tapped his feet lightly, and flew toward the direction of Tianyun Peak.

After returning to the courtyard on Tianyun Peak.

Jiang Ye did not delay at all, sat cross-legged directly beside the Green Flame Herb field, closed his eyes, and sank his mind into his dantian.

Having had the experience of refining the Dual-Heart Spirit Body origin last time, he was even more proficient this time.

With a thought, the five Divine Qi pills vibrated simultaneously.

Crimson-gold, water-blue, light-cyan, earth-yellow, and metal-white—the five-colored lights intertwined into an endless Five Elements Mutual Generation Array.

Trapping that golden origin firmly in the center.

However, the resistance of the Metal Spirit Body origin was far more violent than the Dual-Heart Spirit Body.

It was like a sharp sword that had been provoked, rampaging crazily in his dantian, every impact emitting a piercing sound of metal clashing, shaking his meridians slightly.

Jiang Ye did not change his expression, only steadily driving the five pills to continuously narrow the range of the array, compressing and grinding that mass of violent golden light inch by inch.

Finally, under the continuous attrition of the Five Elements power, the resistance of that golden light began to gradually weaken.

A wisp of extremely fine and subtle golden origin was finally stripped from the origin, slowly merging into his dantian like a thread being pulled out.

The Metal-element True Divine Qi vibrated slightly at that moment, as if it had tasted some long-lost sweet spring.

Jiang Ye, with his eyes closed tightly, nodded secretly.

Not bad.

This taste was just like Jiang Jiang Chuxue.

Seemingly sharp and piercing, awe-inspiring...

But, after truly tasting it, it was unexpectedly delicious.

The next day, early morning.

Morning light just penetrated Ling She Peak.

The maidservant had already been waiting outside Jiang Jiang Chuxue's boudoir, holding rouge, powder, and all kinds of jewelry, waiting to do the final makeup for the bride.

Today was the big day for the Zheng family to come up the mountain with an eight-man sedan chair to welcome the bride, and no one dared to be the slightest bit negligent.

"Young Lady... Young Lady..."

The maidservant's cautious call came vaguely from outside the door, the voice pressed extremely low, carrying a hint of probing.

"Mmph... ah..."

Jiang Jiang Chuxue opened her eyes drowsily, a trace of bewilderment that had not yet faded still lingering in her sharp, beautiful eyes.

Her consciousness seemed to float slowly up from a deep, chaotic water; the calling sound in her ears became clearer and clearer, and the scenery before her became more and more real.

The grand red bed curtains, the gold-thread tassels scattered all over the floor.

Immediately following this—

Her brows furrowed violently.

Pain!

An indescribable pain was coming from beneath her body.

How could it be so painful...

Jiang Jiang Chuxue was stunned.

"Hiss..."

She could not help but gasp, supporting herself on the edge of the bed to try to sit up, only to find that all the bones in her body felt as if they had been dismantled and reassembled, both sore and painful.

Her head, which was still somewhat dizzy, finally began to turn slowly, and some intermittent images floated up from the depths of her memory like broken mirror shards.

That face that should have been familiar but was so strange it chilled her heart.

"Wasn't that damn thing a dream..."

Jiang Jiang Chuxue's pupils contracted violently, and the blood drained instantly from that exquisite, cold face.

Her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

If that was a dream.

Then why was the pain at this moment so real.

If that was not a dream...

Jiang Jiang Chuxue did not dare to think anymore.

Because the experience in that "dream" was simply too outrageous, too absurd...

Just the few fragmented images that flashed through her mind were enough to make her stomach twitch violently, a feeling of nausea rushing straight to her throat.

"Ugh..."

She turned to her side violently, covering her mouth and dry-heaving for a good while, but nothing could be vomited out, only tears sliding down the corners of her eyes uncontrollably.

After a good while.

Her feeling of nausea finally gradually subsided.

It was also at this time that she saw herself clearly in the bronze mirror.

That waterfall of dark hair was scattered on her shoulders; where was the grace and luxury of yesterday's makeup trial.

Those sharp, beautiful eyes were now obviously red and swollen, the whites of her eyes covered in bloodshot veins, as if she had shed who knows how many tears.

The makeup at the corners of her eyes had long since blurred, leaving two dark red tear stains on her face.

What was even worse was that even her lips were swollen...

As for why her lips were swollen.

Thinking of this.

"Ugh... ugh..."

The feeling of nausea she had just suppressed surged up again like erupting magma.

Jiang Jiang Chuxue's teeth chattered, and unprecedented rage and killing intent surged in those red, swollen eyes.

At this moment, she wanted to tear Zheng Lin into ten thousand pieces.

That bastard...

How did he dare to treat her like this.

How did he dare!

What did he take her for!

One of those women of ill repute in a brothel?!

"These young masters of noble families, sure enough, none of them are good things..."

Jiang Jiang Chuxue's sharp gaze seemed as if it were going to shatter the bronze mirror, her fingernails digging deep into her palms, crimson blood already seeping from between her fingers.
