Chapter 180: Concubine

the Star Dou Great Forest.

Qian Renxue collapsed onto the ground, exhausted.

The first dual cultivation was the most effective dual cultivation, so Bai Yuan and the others exerted themselves especially hard, since Qian Renxue was equivalent to a cultivator at the early Nascent Soul stage, far higher than his own level.

Therefore, the increase in cultivation from dual cultivation was far greater than that from Mu Junwu, and this made the powerless, first‑time Qian Renxue suffer unbearably.

"Is this the effect of dual cultivating with someone at the Nascent Soul stage? It actually reached the late Golden Core stage directly," Bai Yuan murmured with immense joy.

Although he had already been close to the late Golden Core stage before this, a single dual cultivation, even Qian Renxue's first, propelled him into the late Golden Core stage.

It also surprised Bai Yuan greatly.

After all, he had previously cultivated using Yuan Yin.

Even though those Yuan Yin levels were inferior to Qian Renxue's, their effect was only slightly better than ordinary dual cultivation, far not as good as this.

"Could it be that only intercourse yields the best effect?"

Bai Yuan's eyes flickered as he muttered to himself, lowering his head.

Bai Yucai had once extracted her Yuan Yin for him to cultivate.

Bai Yuan also took the Yuan Yin of Bai Yucai, Mu Junwu, Ice Emperor, Snow Emperor, Bi Ji, and Zi Ji for cultivation.

However, this group, whose female Yuan Yin corresponded to the late Golden Core, consummate level, did not noticeably boost Bai Yuan's cultivation.

"Perhaps the method of extracting Yuan Yin is flawed, unable to draw out all Yuan Yin, or perhaps Bai Yu's skill is lacking, not harvesting their internal Yuan Yin completely," Bai Yuan pondered.

Qian Renxue's voice full of complaint rang out: "It's all over, and you're still using that thing to hold me down? You're a scumbag, a stinky man who doesn't understand cherishing a delicate woman at all."

Bai Yuan snapped back to his senses, restoring his clothes to their original appearance, as if nothing had happened.

"This thing doesn't get dirty and can change form at will; whatever clothing you want, just have it transform," Bai Yuan said, cutting it, his naked body lying on the grass, his finger on Qian Renxue.

Golden blood oozed from the wound.

The wound healed back to its original state in an instant.

Bai Yuan used a burst of spiritual energy to envelop that blood and fuse it into the magical garment.

Nowadays, the clothes that Bai Yuan and the others wear are high‑grade, exquisite magical robes that can easily withstand a full‑force strike from the peerless Douluo Continent.

Therefore, even if Qian Renxue later uses divine armor, under its control it will not directly burn the clothes inside to ash.

Bai Yuan placed the transparent, seemingly non‑existent garment onto Qian Renxue's flawless, ivory back, and it instantly merged into her skin.

The next moment, the palace attire Qian Renxue had worn upon arrival reappeared on her, making her overall look once again dignified and elegant.

However, her belongings did not match those two adjectives at all.

"Won't you move that thing away?" Qian Renxue complained.

Bai Yuan gave no answer; with a wave of his hand, the multicolored radiant sun hovering above their heads instantly contracted its light, turning into an extremely rustic wooden tray that returned to his hand.

Qian Renxue's legs trembled, but with stubborn willpower she slowly rose, her gaze lingering on Bai Yuan.

"I am now your woman, whether you are Bai Yuan or the White Emperor, handsome or smelly, you should now remove the mask on your face and let me see my husband's appearance, shouldn't you?"

Qian Renxue said so.

Bai Yuan's expression remained unchanged as he said, "No."

"Why? I'm already your woman; would I still harm you?" Qian Renxue stepped forward, hugging Bai Yuan's arm, asking bewilderedly.

Bai Yuan's dark eyes glanced left and right, then suddenly darkened.

He said calmly, "You are indeed my woman, but you are only my concubine. I promised Junwu to only show her my appearance."

"I am only your concubine!" Qian Renxue raised her voice an octave.

She is a dignified deity, the God of Angels, the God of Light.

And she would be a concubine to a mere mortal?!

Qian Renxue originally thought Bai Yuan treated her and Mu Junwu equally; even if unequal, it couldn't be that bad for her, yet Bai Yuan bluntly said he considered her only a concubine.

Bai Yuan didn't care at all about hurting Qian Renxue's feelings.

His gaze and tone were indifferent as he said, "You were the one who forced yourself onto me, and you threatened me just now; do you still expect me to treat you as I do Junwu?"

Qian Renxue was stunned; she suddenly realized how low she had been, knowingly approaching Bai Yuan despite his dislike, and after being rejected, absurdly choosing to threaten him.

At this moment, Qian Renxue also realized that her previous self felt off, an indescribable strange feeling.

Nevertheless, even so, Qian Renxue had no reason to think that a deity of the divine realm had meddled during the divine throne succession.

After thinking for a while, Qian Renxue couldn't find any justification; she lowered her head forlornly, suddenly not knowing what to do.

Because her body had already been taken.

It was she who voluntarily gave it to Bai Yuan.

There's no way around it; on Douluo Continent, women in this feudal society value their first time immensely, even their chastity can be said to be more important than life itself.

If Qian Renxue hadn't had her first taken by Bai Yuan.

Under normal circumstances, she could fully suppress her affection for Bai Yuan with reason, but after being taken, it was entirely different.

Bai Yuan let out a sigh of relief; as long as he could reasonably quell Qian Renxue's intention to strip off his mask, hurting her heart amounted to nothing.

Thus, after a long silence between them.

Qian Renxue turned her head toward Bai Yuan, her golden eyes full of apology, and said, "White Emperor, I'm sorry. I was too eager to be with you just now; it was all my fault. I shouldn't have threatened you; I hope you forgive me."

Such a stunning beauty showing such a pleading expression, even apologizing proactively, gave the impression she was about to burst into tears.

One can guess no one could resist.

Bai Yuan, however, ignored Qian Renxue's request.

He didn't even glance at the stunning girl who had wrapped her arm around him; Bai Yuan's jet‑black eyes were filled with calm.

He wore the demeanor of a scumbag who, after dressing, doesn't recognize anyone.

Qian Renxue lightly bit her red lips and said, "Bai Yuan, forgive me. I will do everything to negotiate with the powerful beings from other realms, preventing the Divine King from descending."

Bai Yuan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth upon hearing it.

He heard this remark and suddenly thought of the green‑hat bridge segment.

"Madam, you don't want your husband to make a move, do you?"

Bai Yuan hastily cast aside the fleeting thought in his mind and said: "Qian Renxue, are you threatening me again?"

Qian Renxue was startled; she also realized that she seemed to have, unintentionally, again chosen to threaten Bai Yuan to achieve her own idea.

No chance was given for Qian Renxue to apologize again.

Bai Yuan lifted his gaze toward the sky outside the Star Dou Great Forest.
