"Right, that one who calls herself a thousand-year-old demoness, Qiao Ying? Supposedly she has some nickname too, Rakshasa of the Clear Eye. What's wrong? You're not telling me everything she said was true, Ba?" Jun Mo Xie asked, perplexed.

"It seems you've truly stirred up a hornet's nest this time! Now even she has been mobilized!" Mei Xue Yan took a long, slow breath, an unprecedented seriousness clouding her face. "From your account, I can tell this woman is indeed the legendary Rakshasa of the Clear Eye, Qiao Ying! Powerful... her profound energy far surpasses that of the Saint Emperor, and her Heaven-Net Palm technique..."

"Could she really be someone from over a thousand years ago? An old... uh, an elder?" Jun Mo Xie’s eyes widened. Suddenly, his calves cramped—that peerlessly beautiful woman he had so brazenly teased... was actually someone who had lived for over eleven hundred years...

My heavens! What kind of world is this? It seems utterly insane! "Rakshasa of the Clear Eye, Qiao Ying. I truly never imagined she would, by fate's design, descend into the mortal realm..."

Mei Xue Yan rose and paced a couple of steps. "Mo Xie, you and I both know that those from the Three Great Sacred Lands are hypocritical on the surface, utterly vile and despicable deep down, using any despicable means necessary in their actions. But there are always exceptions in worldly affairs, and Elder Qiao Ying is one such anomaly among the Three Great Sacred Lands. It's one thing that you curse those scoundrels with your vulgar tongue, but you absolutely must not utter any further disrespectful words towards Elder Qiao. Not in your heart, nor with your mouth. Although Elder Qiao Ying is female, her heart is exceedingly benevolent, and her conduct is utterly upright. She never forces her will upon others."

≦≧≦First≧≦Release≧

"Especially during the War of Seizing Heaven, she achieved repeated miraculous merits, slaying many experts of the alien races, truly a legendary figure of her generation! Because she was simply too pure of heart, untainted by the grime of the mortal world, the Three Great Sacred Lands feared she would suffer if she wandered the Jianghu, so they never allowed her to appear in the mortal realm. This time, I don't know why she has come in person?"

She frowned deeply, pondering for a moment longer before concluding, "Given how highly the Three Great Sacred Lands value Qiao Ying, her sudden appearance here must mean there are other peak experts accompanying her for protection! Otherwise, the Heavenly Saint Palace would never permit her to travel alone!"

Mei Xue Yan turned her head, looking at Jun Mo Xie with resolute determination. "Mo Xie, you must believe that your situation this time is exceedingly dire! While Elder Qiao Ying's strength is formidable, and her Clear Eye Divine Skill is very likely the ultimate counter to your marvelous Evasion Technique, in terms of her character, she is not scary at all; she wouldn't even have the thought of killing you... But the experts guarding her? Not one of them is easy to deal with. Their strength is absolutely above that of the Saint Emperor. This time, I must go out and fight alongside you!"

"No! Absolutely not negotiable!" Jun Mo Xie flatly refused. "With the meager skill you possess right now, going out would be less than stuffing someone's teeth gap! What could you possibly do by going out? Fight alongside me? I fear you might not only fail to help but would certainly be a drag on me!"

The Young Master Jun was extremely wary of Mei Xue Yan participating in the fight. He was determined that even temporary harshness was better than letting her rush into danger recklessly, which is why he uttered such unpleasant words!

"Things are vastly different now." How could Mei Xue Yan not understand the Young Master Jun's intentions? Hearing such harsh words, she was not the least bit offended; instead, she smiled triumphantly. "Ever since I began cultivating the Heaven-Opening Creation Art method step-by-step from the beginning, our... clan's inherited bloodline has unexpectedly awakened prematurely. Now, I have mastered as many as three of our clan's secret techniques. Furthermore, breaking through the bottleneck of the third layer of the Heaven-Opening Creation Art seems imminent. Especially the Yin-Yang Circulation Method you previously passed to me, I can now use it effectively. Even if I can’t use it to decisively defeat an enemy yet, I can certainly ensure my own safety this time out... There’s no issue at all..."

She playfully blinked her eyes, the two large orbs narrowing into crescent moons. "You’re still worried I’ll be a drag on you? I should be worried about you becoming my burden!"

"Uh..." Jun Mo Xie was instantly stunned. After a long pause, he managed, "Me, becoming a burden? Little woman, you have quite the boast! Come on, let this young master pull your leg and see."

Mei Xue Yan snorted, "It seems it’s been too long since I disciplined you. I find you getting more and more arrogant! Heaven and Earth Cage!"

Jun Mo Xie laughed heartily, "Your current cultivation level is far inferior to mine; the Heaven and Earth Cage is already... huh?" Halfway through his words, he suddenly found his entire body immobilized, unable to even speak, just standing there agape, experiencing the long-forgotten sensation of being utterly imprisoned.

Mei Xue Yan delivered a swift kick right onto Jun Mo Bang’s plump backside, causing the Young Master Jun to fly out like a gold ingot, tumbling continuously in the air. Luo Xue Yan huffed coldly, "This is one of the mystical abilities unique to our Illusionary Sable Clan!"

Saying that, she delivered another kick before the still-airborne Young Master Jun even hit the ground, sending him flying up again. Only then did she continue, "At any level, we can exert three times the strength of that level. Beyond that, we can subtly manipulate the forces of Heaven and Earth, causing them to transform into any shape! A typical Heaven and Earth Cage certainly can't deal with you, but my mutated Heaven and Earth Cage can randomly adjust according to the opponent's abilities. It is precisely your nemesis, perhaps even more effective than Qiao Ying’s Heaven-Net Palm..."

"Do you understand now, Young Master Jun, who was worried about being held back?" She finished this entire speech after five or six continuous kicks, concluding with one final powerful thrust that sent him flying backward again...

Puff! He landed on the ground, stirring up an exceptionally turbulent vortex of Heaven and Earth spiritual energy. But the strange cage-like force restraining him vanished simultaneously. The Young Master Jun rapidly rubbed his entire body with both hands, rising with a pained grimace. "That was sneak attack! You acted utterly shamelessly, I hadn't even assumed a stance..."

Mei Xue Yan snorted, "Who told you to look down on me and say I’d be a drag on you..." Before she could finish her sentence, the image of the Young Master Jun, who had been rubbing his backside right before her, suddenly began to blur and fade, then vanished. She immediately sensed danger and prepared to evade powerfully, but then felt a tightening sensation around her body—a pair of strong, forceful hands had firmly embraced her! Immediately afterward, several points on her body went numb, rendering her completely immobile. Then, Jun Mo Xie's smiling face appeared before her. One finger hooked her rounded chin, and he spoke with an extremely flirtatious tone, "Girl, weren't you quite capable just now? Come on, give this Young Master a kiss!"

Mei Xue Yan was both ashamed and furious. "Let go of me quickly, you scoundrel!"

Jun Mo Wu huffed, "You call me a scoundrel? You dared to ambush me while chasing after a girl! Truly plotting wicked things! If we speak from the perspective of teaching art, I could be considered half of your master, right? Ambushing one's master is a truly heinous act of disobedience, deserving three strikes on the backside! If we speak from ethics, women must adhere to the Three Bonds and Five Constants, where the husband is the bond of the wife. You dared to strike your husband, hitting your respected husband's honored backside—that's an additional crime! Deserving strikes on both sides of the backside!"

Saying this, he exerted force, flipping Mei Xue Yan’s body over so she lay prone across his knee, followed by a hearty laugh. He raised his right hand and, with a smack, struck her full bottom. The contact felt soft, smooth as chilled jade, instantly igniting a soul-consuming sensation within him, almost causing blood to spurt from his nose... Mei Xue Yan let out a soft gasp, her face instantly turning crimson, and she ground her teeth, "If you don't let go of me right now... I will..."

"And if you do what?" the Young Master Jun scoffed righteously. "The saying goes: manage the family, govern the state, and bring peace to the world. If family rules are not strictly enforced, how can one bring peace to the world in the future? This punishment is unavoidable!"

Having gotten a taste from that first strike, the fellow was already addicted, putting on the solemn face of Judge Bao, while secretly hoping to take advantage. Though his expression was serious, the wolf-like, faint green glow in his eyes betrayed him.

Mei Xue Yan bit her lip, thinking to herself, she had known this brat was dishonest long ago; how could she have been so careless just now? Gritting her teeth, she simply stayed silent, waiting on his knee for a while, only to realize the slap was long overdue. Instead, another pair of strange hands began to lightly caress her... sensitive areas...

"You—you—what are you doing?" This time, the great beauty Mei was truly flustered.

"I am executing family law!" Jun Mo Xie hummed, though his voice was already a bit unsteady: The feel was too good... Wow, this is still through the clothes. If I took them off, removed that last thin barrier, how incredibly satisfying would that be? I look forward to it so much...

Thinking this, his mind drifted into inappropriate territory. With narrowed eyes, unsure of what images were occupying his thoughts, his hands grew increasingly unruly, showing a distinct trend toward making his internal fantasies a reality...

"Let me go... Qian Xun is here..." Mei Xue Yan cried out in embarrassed haste.

Jun Mo Xie was finally jolted awake. Lost in lustful distraction, he had forgotten to continue administering the 'family law.' He laughed foolishly and casually released the pressure points on Mei Xue Yan...

Mei Xue Yan sprang up, her face already bright red, even
