Traveling Back Early: Forcing the Young Empress to Sign a Lifetime Servitude Contract

44: Don’t rebel against your brother.”?”

Chen Qingxuan’s face was covered in black lines.

Feet in mouth? What the hell?

Staring at the gleaming sharp sword, he raised his hand to dissuade her, ”Calm down, let’s talk this out properly... You’re no match for me.”

”You damned evil cultivator... Do you think I’m still that little girl who let you bully and humiliate me?”

Huang Qingxue felt insulted.

Hiss—

Profound Power surged from her body into the sword hilt, and a sword howl instantly filled the room.

Huang Qingxue gripped her treasured sword, stamped her foot, and charged fiercely toward Chen Qingxuan, ”This lady is going to chop off your limbs... stuff you in a vase... and use you to wash my feet every day!”

”Uh...?”

Chen Qingxuan’s face was covered in black lines again.

Watching the ferocious Little Pitiful One charging at him, he felt a sense of helplessness... Why wouldn’t she just believe him?

Although Huang Qingxue hadn’t yet become the Divine Phoenix Empress, her years of relentless cultivation fueled by her obsession, combined with the Foundation Chen Qingxuan had helped her build through Body Tempering, and the opportunities she gained from the dragon blood orchid he gave her...

By now, even without the title of Empress, Huang Qingxue already possessed the bearing of one!

The sharp Sword Qi was like gusts of a hurricane. Even though the Hundred Flowers Tower was protected by a powerful barrier, it still trembled faintly under the impact.

”No choice... I’ll just have to take her away first.”

Chen Qingxuan let out a soft sigh.

Though Huang Qingxue’s attack was fierce, it didn’t seem too fast in his Nine Profound Pupils. Seizing a gap, he flicked his finger, sending a wisp of Profound Power into the wall.

Gurgle—

A sound resembling a bubble suddenly arose.

Immediately after, the Teleportation Array set up in the room activated, and a force passed through the bodies of Chen Qingxuan and Huang Qingxue.

In an instant, it teleported the two to a mountain range.

Boom—

At the same time, Huang Qingxue, sword in hand, charged to where Chen Qingxuan had been, only to slash directly into a boulder twice her height, instantly reducing it to dust.

”What?”

Huang Qingxue was stunned.

She was clearly caught off guard by the sudden teleportation.

Snap—

Just then, Chen Qingxuan, standing nearby, snapped his fingers.

Suddenly, the ground beneath their feet lit up with a starry sky diagram Formation, erupting with dazzling light into the Void Realm.

”Not good!”

Huang Qingxue’s heart clenched.

Though she didn’t know what kind of Formation it was, she immediately abandoned her attack and tried to escape its range.

Unfortunately, Chen Qingxuan activated the Formation extremely quickly, giving her no chance to escape at all.

A white radiance filled her vision.

By the time her sight recovered, the two had moved from the mountain range to a world filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers. However, anyone with a discerning eye could tell this place was not the real world.

”A Secret Realm?”

Having explored many Secret Realms, Huang Qingxue understood in an instant.

”Look,” Chen Qingxuan spoke up again, ”I thought we formed a good bond. Who knew you’d misunderstand me so deeply... Let’s not be so rough. Everything has a foreplay; can’t we ease into things instead of going straight to the main event?”

”Foreplay your ancestors!”

Huang Qingxue cursed angrily.

Without letting Chen Qingxuan speak, she raised her sword and shot into the sky again, ”No matter what tricks you have... today, I’m definitely going to shove my foot in your mouth.”

”Ten Thousand Swords Floating Life!”

Hiss—

The entire Void Realm was suddenly filled with sword shadows, dense and numerous like a plague of locusts, enough to make one’s skin crawl.

As Huang Qingxue swung her sword, the myriad sword shadows in the sky seemed to heed a call, abruptly turning sideways before charging toward Chen Qingxuan with lightning speed.

The powerful Sword Intent made the Void Realm tremble, containing the force to shatter mountains and split the earth.

Truly terrifying!

Seeing things had come to this, Chen Qingxuan knew further talk was useless.

Fortunately, he hadn’t just contracted Huang Qingxue; he had also contracted two other talents no less formidable than her. In terms of strength, he far surpassed Huang Qingxue.

Thus, facing the sky full of sword rain, he still couldn’t be considered flustered.

In fact, due to the contract, he also knew this move, Ten Thousand Swords Floating Life, and was well aware of how to counter it.

So, he activated the fifth form of his Nine Profound Pupils — Guixu!

Boom!

A strange glint flashed through Chen Qingxuan’s starry eyes. Immediately after, a crack appeared in the air before him, giving birth to a bizarre black vortex.

The powerful gravitational force released by the black vortex instantly altered the trajectory of the sword shadows, swallowing all of them into its maw, reducing them to nothing.

”How could...?”

Huang Qingxue wore an expression of disbelief.

Seeing her sword technique so easily neutralized, a violent explosion erupted behind her in the Void Realm. She then charged at Chen Qingxuan with her sword, relying purely on her Physical Body.

Her speed was comparable to lightning!

For an ordinary person... no, even for Sect Master-level figures from some renowned forces, facing such terrifying speed and power from Huang Qingxue would demand serious attention.

But for Chen Qingxuan... it was a piece of cake.

Even without the predictive Insight of the Nine Profound Pupils, every move and stance Huang Qingxue launched was dodged by him at tricky angles.

It couldn’t be helped; whatever Little Pitiful One knew, he knew too!

They were taught by the same master!

After several rounds of back-and-forth, Huang Qingxue exhausted all her skills, even fighting with unprecedented concentration... yet she hadn’t even touched a single strand of Chen Qingxuan’s hair.

”Why?”

Huang Qingxue gradually began to doubt her life choices.

Over the years, she hadn’t been short on battles, even experiencing many life-and-death situations. She was confident her strength and combat experience were far beyond what ordinary people could match.

But now, in front of Chen Qingxuan... she felt like a raw recruit!

”Give up. I already said you’re no match for me.”

Chen Qingxuan spread his hands nonchalantly.

”You...”

Huang Qingxue gritted her silver teeth, feeling deeply humiliated.

After over a decade of arduous cultivation, to still be utterly crushed by a lecherous scoundrel—imagine the blow?

But the next moment, she seemed to realize something, ”You damned evil cultivator... I still underestimated your beastly depravity... Just how many women have you ruined over the years... to gain such strength?!”

”Huh?”

Chen Qingxuan was speechless.

Seriously? Did she really think his strength came from exploiting women?

Well, yes, it came from freeloading off talents... but it definitely wasn’t through using women as Cauldrons like she imagined.

Why did she insist on seeing him as an evil cultivator?

It seemed like ever since their first meeting... she had harbored a natural resistance toward him.

”I’m saying, could you just...”

Chen Qingxuan was about to speak.

Just then, a golden light shimmered in Huang Qingxue’s eyes, ”I refuse to believe... that an evil cultivator who relies on women as Cauldrons for power... can be that strong.”

Boom—

As her words fell, a Sacred Phoenix Cry suddenly descended.

Huang Qingxue, who originally exuded a majestic Aura, was now surrounded by tiny golden light particles. They danced around her like fireflies, constantly vibrating with a rich Aura of life.

”Don’t tell me you’re...?”

Sensing the Aura of the Divine Phoenix Bone, Chen Qingxuan’s pupils constricted sharply.

Seeing this scene, how could he not understand what she intended to do?

She had realized ordinary methods couldn’t defeat him... and decided to burn her Divine Phoenix Essence Blood to deal with him!

While burning essence blood in battle wasn’t uncommon in the cultivation world, its detrimental effects on the user were well-known.

Not only would it cause a drop in cultivation level, it could even damage one’s Foundation, ruin one’s innate talent... Just how much did she hate him?

Whoosh—

Without time to ponder, Chen Qingxuan could only charge toward Little Pitiful One first, to stop her foolish action.

Putting aside that there was no need for things to come to this between them, if Huang Qingxue really burned her essence blood and compromised her future potential because of him... wouldn’t he be the one to suffer the loss?

He was still counting on continuing to freeload off her cultivation progress to deal with the impending world reshaping... He couldn’t afford to cripple his own right-hand man!

Thud—

After rushing over, Chen Qingxuan instantly pinned Huang Qingxue to the ground.

To prevent her from continuing to activate the essence blood of her Divine Phoenix Bone, he had no choice but to press down on her delicate body while grabbing her jade-like hands and raising them high above her head.

”Hehehe... Just stop resisting, brother.”
