Dongfang Hongyue had cultivated for over three hundred years, during the first hundred years, she dedicated herself to her cultivation, in the second hundred years, she became the Demon Lord, dominating all under heaven, and in the last hundred years, she laid low, biding her time to act.
Until this brush with death, she was as solid as Mount Tai before she began dual cultivation with Lin Yun.
As a result of that one kiss, her three-hundred-year-virginity was taken by Lin Yun, who even had the audacity to ask her if it wasn't enjoyable.
The most infuriating part was she couldn't even deny it.
Enjoyable it might have been, but doesn't the Demon Lord deserve some dignity?
In retaliation against Lin Yun, she split off a part of her own Fire Seed and implanted it within him.
Besides wanting to discipline him, Dongfang Hongyue also entertained the idea of properly nurturing Lin Yun.
The dual cultivation was indeed an accident, she couldn't blame Lin Yun, only her own bad luck.
Disciplining him was to vent her anger, nurturing him was a long-term consideration.
And now, before I even started disciplining, you've lost my Fire Seed?
The Fire Seed she had given Lin Yun had taken her fifty years to cultivate, which she had planned to take back after giving Lin Yun a start in his cultivation...
Now she could not sense it anymore, it was probably gone.
Dongfang Hongyue had never suffered such humiliation.
She should have never kissed him in the first place.
With a heavy heart, Dongfang Hongyue arrived at the dungeon where Lin Yun was imprisoned.
The rebellion had caused devastating losses to Sunblaze Mountain.
There were not many casualties, but the entirety of Sunblaze Palace had been razed.
Thinking about this, Dongfang Hongyue's gaze towards Lin Yun became even more resentful.
Three hundred years of chastity gone, a hundred years of Fire Seed gone, two hundred years of estate gone.
She felt like crying, but she had to hold it back.
The proud Demon Lord had no tears.
Lin Yun, however, was in the midst of cultivating with his eyes closed, feeling his cultivation level increasingly stabilize, Lin Yun couldn't help but smile.
He felt his future was boundless with brightness, the threat of the Azure Dragon Gu Worm seemed to diminish greatly, with the Fire Seed in him for protection, even if the Azure Dragon Gu Worm was controlled by Green Lotus, it might not be able to harm him.
Although the Fire Seed was planted by Dongfang Hongyue, as Lin Yun infused more and more True Qi into it, the Fire Seed had taken on his form.
"I truly am the Child of Heavenly Mandate, anything people use to target me turns into my treasure, but let's not get carried away for now; I'll wait until my cultivation is unmatched, then I'll take care of these people one by one."
First would be Green Lotus, that old fellow, Lin Yun was determined to send him to the palace.
Then there was Dongfang Hongyue.
Wait for it, Demoness, this isn't over yet!
When I rise, you'll have to bow down!
But then again, Dongfang Hongyue's figure is actually quite good…
The Demoness is pretty amazing…
"You seem rather happy?"
The voice of Dongfang Hongyue suddenly rose, startling Lin Yun out of his daydreams and back to reality.
Opening his eyes, he saw Dongfang Hongyue standing before him, still dressed in a red robe.
Her complexion was a bit gloomy, and Lin Yun suddenly felt nervous.
Danger!
The Demoness wouldn't deny me the chance to grow, would she?
Before, when he thought he was doomed, he had been brave, but now that Dongfang Hongyue seemed to not want to kill him, Lin Yun naturally filled with the will to survive.
"I was just thinking of something happy."
Lin Yun quickly replied.
"Is the happy thing you mention the assimilation of my Fire Seed?"
Dongfang Hongyue's tone was filled with deep melancholy, she had observed Lin Yun's Dantian with her Divine Sense upon entering, and the golden-red Fire Lotus appeared quite celestial and was thriving increasingly.
But...
It's mine, mine!
Dongfang Hongyue's heart was bleeding.
Lin Yun: "..."
For some reason, he suddenly felt that Dongfang Hongyue, a renowned Demon Lord who stood before him, seemed a bit like a pushover.
Oh dear, what a pitiful Demon Lord.
Pfft...
Lin Yun quickly pursed his lips, trying hard to hold back, but Dongfang Hongyue's gaze grew even more intense.
"What are you laughing at?"
"I just thought of something happy again."
"How can you have so many happy things! I'm so unlucky, my home has been burned down, and I've lost the Fire Seed..."
"Pfft!"
This time, Lin Yun could only cover his mouth with his hand.
"You've gone too far, I've been tolerating you for a long time!"
Dongfang Hongyue was so angry she stomped her feet.
"If it weren't for the fact that I cultivate the Path of Virtuous Merit, I would have burned you to ashes and scattered them by now!"
In her anger, Dongfang Hongyue unwittingly revealed her biggest secret.
Lin Yun was immediately shocked.
No way, no way, a person from the Demon Sect cultivating the Path of Virtuous Merit?
Lin Yun thought it was the biggest joke he had ever heard, but seeing Dongfang Hongyue's demeanor, he suddenly believed it.
Dongfang Hongyue suddenly calmed down. She realized that in front of Lin Yun, all her cultivation of mental composure had lost its effect. With her level of cultivation, this should not have been the case.
A three-hundred-year cultivator and a female Demon Lord shouldn't have such emotional fluctuations that easily, but in front of Lin Yun, her emotions were violently erratic, and she hadn't noticed anything amiss until now when she unwittingly spoke words she shouldn't have.
This kid is not right!
Dongfang Hongyue once again scrutinized Lin Yun and suddenly remembered when they first began dual cultivation, Lin Yun didn't lose control like her; clearly, he had taken initiative.
Back then she had been too focused on combating her own instincts to consider it much, thinking it was a side effect of starting dual cultivation with the Fire Spirit Fairy Body. Now it seemed Lin Yun had a special attraction to her.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have felt he was extraordinary the moment she arrived at the Hundred Flowers Garden.
After dual cultivation, this influence had grown much stronger, yet it happened so quietly, and she had been unwittingly ensnared again.
Initially, she thought Lin Yun was a Crimson Flame Immortal Physique, which was why she was sensitive to him. However, the flames on Lin Yun's body were golden, so naturally, he couldn't be a Crimson Flame Immortal Physique.
This golden flame was unknown to Dongfang Hongyue, but she could feel the gentle power within it that greatly benefited her, seeming to be related to virtuous merit.
Since it was unknown, Dongfang Hongyue didn't probe further, at most, she would stay away from Lin Yun in the future.
Good, she'd just send him off to her secret base, and let him learn his lesson there.
"Since you've heard what you shouldn't have, to keep this secret, I'll give you two choices."
"I'll choose the one where I can stay alive."
Lin Yun was very straightforward. There was no need for games, obviously one was a death trap, and the other would make him do something.
Is there even a need to choose?
Dongfang Hongyue: "..."
Can't you just let me threaten you so you can choose to stay alive in a frightened and humiliated way?
Being so straightforward from the start doesn't give me any sense of achievement!
Although Dongfang Hongyue was quite annoyed, Lin Yun was so straightforward that she didn't dawdle either.
"If you want to live, then from now on you must obey my orders and serve me."
Lin Yun: "..."
I just want to ask, are you asking me to be a workhorse?
