Chapter 265: Sudden Change

Duan Fengyun closed his eyes and silently felt the changes in the Qilin Blood within his body; the Qilin Blood, which had long been as calm as water, had unexpectedly begun to stir after encountering the Zhurong Fire.

At this moment, the Qilin Blood inside Duan Fengyun's body had transformed into a miniature version of a Fire Qilin, running back and forth inside Duan Fengyun's body.

Duan Fengyun manipulated his Spirit Sense, chasing after the little Fire Qilin's tail, wanting to intercept it.

However, the miniature Fire Qilin's speed was too fast, and no matter how Duan Fengyun chased, he could not catch up.

And everywhere the Fire Qilin went, raging flames would rise in that spot.

As time passed, Duan Fengyun's entire body seemed as if it had been set ablaze.

Watching Duan Fengyun, whose body looked like iron heated to a red glow, Yueya called out worriedly:

"Brother Qin, how are you?

Why do I feel like your whole body is about to burn up?"

But at this time, Duan Fengyun, who was fully focused on tracking the little Fire Qilin, could no longer hear Yueya's cries.

"Brother Qin!

Brother Qin!"

Seeing that Duan Fengyun did not answer, Yueya continued to call out.

But Duan Fengyun still did not answer; seeing this, Yueya gathered her courage, reached out, and touched Duan Fengyun's head.

Yet, the moment Yueya's hand touched Duan Fengyun's head, it was bounced back by his protective True Qi.

Duan Fengyun was not that foolish; he would not leave himself exposed like that without any defenses.

He had long since protected his body with protective True Qi, and no person or object unfavorable to him would ever be able to touch him.

Yueya scrambled up from the ground in a disheveled state, her eyes red as she looked at Duan Fengyun again.

"Brother Qin, what on earth is wrong with you!"

Duan Fengyun was now the only person Yueya knew in this world, and they were at a critical moment of leaving the valley; if any accident were to happen to Duan Fengyun, she would not know what to do.

At this moment, just as the miniature Qilin was about to rush toward Duan Fengyun's dantian, it was finally intercepted by Duan Fengyun.

Duan Fengyun grabbed the miniature Fire Qilin in his hand, letting it struggle.

Strange to say, the incredibly high-temperature Fire Qilin had no heat at all in Duan Fengyun's hand.

Duan Fengyun looked at the miniature Fire Qilin in his hand and said:

"Little guy, stop playing. My body is not your playground; go back to where you belong."

Upon hearing Duan Fengyun's words, the miniature Fire Qilin stopped struggling; seeing this, Duan Fengyun loosened his palm and released the miniature Fire Qilin.

After the miniature Fire Qilin took a look at Duan Fengyun, it flew out of Duan Fengyun's body.

Duan Fengyun had thought the miniature Fire Qilin would leave just like that, but he did not expect it to dive straight into his Kirin Arm.

And the previously static Kirin Arm instantly became vivid and lifelike, as if it had gained a life of its own.

It seemed this miniature Fire Qilin had chosen the Kirin Arm as its place of residence.

Yueya was astonished to see a bright red little creature emerge from Duan Fengyun's body and then suddenly fly into his arm.

It seems this Brother Qin must have quite a few secrets.

Yueya thought to herself.

After dealing with the miniature Fire Qilin, Duan Fengyun withdrew his Spirit Sense, preparing to wake up.

But just at this moment, after withdrawing his Spirit Sense, Duan Fengyun discovered that his mind was filled with many chaotic thoughts.

The Zhurong Fire from just now had stirred the nameless fire within Duan Fengyun's body, and Duan Fengyun began to feel that something was wrong with his body.

He felt an unbearable, scorching heat inside, a kind of lustful fire burning his body that he could not endure.

Duan Fengyun now tried his best to recite the Ice Heart Formula, hoping to use the effect of the Ice Heart Formula to suppress this evil desire.

But at this moment, Yueya saw that Duan Fengyun's body was no longer turning red, and thinking he was fine, combined with her curiosity about the mysterious little thing from before, she walked up to Duan Fengyun.

Yueya looked at the partially exposed Kirin tattoo; the looming Qilin made Yueya somewhat curious.

In this world, there was no such thing as a Qilin, so seeing one for the first time, Yueya naturally wanted to take a closer look.

Finding the view from afar unclear, she actually reached out and pulled back the clothing on Duan Fengyun's arm, wanting to see the Kirin Arm clearly.

This look from Yueya triggered a major event; just as Duan Fengyun was about to successfully suppress the evil desire, Yueya's unique maiden scent drifted into Duan Fengyun's nose.

After smelling this fragrance, Duan Fengyun could no longer suppress the evil desire at all.

In an instant, Duan Fengyun's entire mind was occupied by desire; he opened his blood-red eyes and looked at Yueya as if looking at prey.

Seeing Duan Fengyun open his eyes, Yueya even hugged him directly and said:

"Brother Qin, you're finally awake.

You scared me to death just now; your whole body looked like it had been roasted.

Brother Qin, how do you feel? Are you alright?"

Held by Yueya, Duan Fengyun went completely mad; he looked at Yueya with blood-red eyes and then frantically tackled her to the ground.

Looking at the blood-red-eyed Duan Fengyun, Yueya was still loudly questioning him:

"Brother Qin, what is wrong with you?

Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Answering Yueya were Duan Fengyun's heavy gasps and the sound of Duan Fengyun violently tearing clothes.

Even if Yueya did not understand the ways of the world, she understood what she was currently encountering.

She wept with tears streaming down her face and said:

"Brother Qin, don't do this.

Brother Qin, I beg you, let me go."

But how could the current Duan Fengyun hear her pleas? The maddened Duan Fengyun stripped Yueya down to a white lamb and lunged at her.

With a scream from Yueya, the two of them were completely joined together.

The crazed Duan Fengyun paid no heed to Yueya, who was inexperienced in the ways of the world, and continued to vent his most primal human desires upon her.

Yueya's eyes were tightly shut; she had long since fainted under Duan Fengyun's violent onslaught, and tears streamed from the corners of her eyes.

With a loud shout from Duan Fengyun, the two finally ended their battle.

Having vented his desires, Duan Fengyun collapsed directly onto Yueya, and the two lay on the ground in this intimate manner.

Duan Fengyun regained his senses, looking at the naked Yueya beneath him, the part of himself still inside her body, and then at the pool of blood on the ground.

Duan Fengyun patted his head and said:

"So much time has passed, yet I actually fell into a trap here.

I have now ruined Yueya's purity; how can she bear this, and how am I to face her?"

Although Duan Fengyun had initially only wanted to use Yueya's identity as a member of the Tong Clan to summon the Spirit Mirror.

But after seeing Yueya, who was still like a blank sheet of paper, Duan Fengyun could not bear to harm this innocent and naive young girl.

Yet the more he worried about something, the more it happened; he never expected that under the influence of the Zhurong Fire, he would lose his reason and do such a thing to Yueya.

Duan Fengyun shook his head, looking at the bruised and battered Yueya, and took a piece of clothing from his luggage to dress her in.

After Duan Fengyun put on his clothes, he kept a remorseful watch by Yueya's side, waiting for her to slowly wake up.

"Ugh!"

A painful moan escaped Yueya's lips, and she finally woke up.

Duan Fengyun asked with concern:

"Yueya, are you alright?" Hearing Duan Fengyun's voice, Yueya sat up reflexively and retreated several large steps.

Seeing that she was wearing Duan Fengyun's clothes, feeling the pain from below, and noticing the pool of blood on the ground, all these signs helped Yueya recall the terrible things that had just occurred.

Yueya looked at Duan Fengyun with resentment and said:

"Don't come over here, I hate you!"

Then, Yueya buried her head and began to sob bitterly:

"Grandpa Xuan, Yueya misses you.

Just after you left, Yueya was bullied by someone.

Yueya has lost her most important thing; Yueya can never marry anyone again."

Yueya held her head and wailed uncontrollably.

She was no match for Duan Fengyun, and besides crying to vent the sorrow in her heart, she truly had no other way.

Duan Fengyun walked to Yueya's side with a look of guilt and said:

"Yueya, I am sorry for what I have done to you.

Rest assured, since I have done this to you, I will definitely take responsibility for you.

From now on, you are my woman, and I will not let anyone bully you."

Yueya raised her head, looking at Duan Fengyun with teary eyes, and said:

"Are you not lying to me?

Are you just saying that because you see me sad?"

In truth, Yueya had always had feelings for Duan Fengyun; the learned, talented, and straightforward Duan Fengyun had long since left an indelible mark on her heart.

It was just that Yueya could not immediately accept that her maidenhood had been so violently taken by Duan Fengyun.

As someone who had been through it all, how could Duan Fengyun not see Yueya's affection for him?

But in this world, he was destined to be a passerby.

He had his own family and children, so he did not want to delay Yueya, hoping she could find someone who truly loved her.

Yet what had just happened had completely destroyed Duan Fengyun's plans.

He prided himself on being a responsible person; since he had done this to Yueya, he would take responsibility to the end.

He would find a way to explain things to Youruo and the others, though now was not the time to tell Yueya his true identity.

After all, his current identity was too sensitive, and if others found out, trouble would inevitably arise.

Once he found the Xuanyuan Sword and lifted the shackles of the Martial Dao Gate upon him, and there was no one in this world who could be his match, he would explain the truth to Yueya.

It was just that Duan Fengyun had not expected that in the blink of an eye, he would marry Yueya and become Yin Zhong's son-in-law.

Duan Fengyun thought about how he had first married Xiongba's daughter, and now he had an ambiguous relationship with Yin Zhong's daughter; it seemed he was destined to be inseparable from the children of his enemies.

Duan Fengyun pulled Yueya into his arms and said:

"I keep my word; from today on, you are my woman.

I will not bully you, nor will I let anyone else bully you.

After we walk out of Hell Valley, we will hold a wedding ceremony!

Yueya!"

After speaking, Duan Fengyun kissed Yueya directly on the lips.

Caught off guard by this move, Yueya, unable to let go, pushed Duan Fengyun away and said with a blushing face:

"Who said I would marry you?

I never said that."

Duan Fengyun laughed heartily, hugged Yueya tightly again, and said:

"In this life, you are destined to be mine; don't even think about escaping."

Listening to Duan Fengyun's domineering words, combined with his warm embrace, Yueya completely surrendered.

Yueya nestled into Duan Fengyun's arms like a little bird.
