Chapter 113: Chapter 73: You’re Mistaken, He Wasn’t Bullying Me, I Was the One Force-Kissing Him

"Besides, you of all people should know what our relationship is. Whether he kisses me or I kiss him, it’s perfectly legitimate and has nothing to do with you. Why are you throwing a fit?"

"Have you forgotten? I performed a Contract Termination with you. And even if I hadn’t, you have no right to control my intimacy with my Contractors. What exactly are you trying to do?!"

’Could it be that he attacked Si Xie because of me?’

Jiang Yunnuan felt extremely uneasy. She had a nagging feeling that his possessiveness over her was terrifying, and it wasn’t normal at all.

"Heh..."

He suddenly smiled, his expression terrifyingly calm, but a flash of madness flickered in his eyes.

He reached out, gently pinched her cheek, and said softly, "Don’t say those things. I’ll get angry. Without a contract, you can’t restrain me, and angering me will do *them* no good."

At his words, Jiang Yunnuan’s heart lurched. A phrase suddenly flashed through her mind: ’unleashing a tiger back into the mountains.’

’With the contract, I could have restrained him. But I’d gotten emotional and initiated the Contract Termination. Now, it seems I’ve truly lost my trump card against him.’

’Dammit. That Contract Termination seems so foolish in hindsight.’

’And his Realm... I have no idea why it’s advancing so quickly. In the original plot, he wasn’t supposed to be this fast.’ 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

’If it was because of the well water, Fu Yuan drank it too. Why isn’t he advancing as quickly?’

’Sigh... I have to find a way to help Fu Yuan and Ming Ye’s Realms catch up. I can’t let this guy keep them completely suppressed, or I’ll never be able to complete my mission.’

’But that’s a problem for later. For now, I have to placate this guy. I can’t provoke him into a frenzy, or he might just kill Ming Ye and Fu Yuan in a fit of rage.’

She quickly composed herself and began to coax him in a gentle, appeasing tone, slipping in a small request.

"Uh, if you don’t like hearing it, I’ll stop. But in return, you’re not allowed to attack them anymore, and you can’t interfere when I’m being intimate with them. Okay?"

Jun Yao was pleased by the first part of her offer, but his gaze darkened instantly at her two conditions.

"You are not allowed to be intimate with them. Otherwise..."

’Damn it! So every time he loses his mind, it really is because of that stupid possessiveness!’

Jiang Yunnuan was furious. ’I’m going insane! The random challenge! My random challenge is about to end! If I fail this time, I don’t even know if I’ll get another chance.’

’If I can’t, my losses will be catastrophic!’

’All my accumulated daily check-in rewards will be wiped out.’

"Otherwise what? Are you going to kill me?"

He didn’t speak, but his icy gaze swept over Ming Ye and, not far away, Fu Yuan.

’Of course I wouldn’t kill *her*,’ he thought. ’But *them*...’

Following his gaze, Jiang Yunnuan saw Fu Yuan. His handsome face was a tragic sight, swollen beyond recognition. Clearly, during the earlier fight, this monster had aimed every single punch at his face.

His clothes were torn to shreds, barely clinging to his body.

"How could you beat him up like that?!"

Her anger flared. She kicked Jun Yao hard a few times, then tried to run to Fu Yuan. But before she could, a searing-hot hand grabbed the nape of her neck and yanked her back, and a powerful arm locked her in a tight embrace.

"Don’t you go!"

AAAAAH!

Jiang Yunnuan was on the verge of losing her mind. She struggled with all her might, but the arm holding her was like iron; she couldn’t break free in the slightest.

Left with no choice, she resorted to a desperate measure, activating the Nine Techniques of Xuanmen, which she had yet to fully master in this life.

She guided qi to her fingertips, condensing it into needles. Taking advantage of the fact that he never lowered his guard around her, she swiftly struck the acupoints along his Eight Extraordinary Meridians.

In just a few seconds, she had struck more than twenty acupoints.

CLICK. After a faint tremor, the qi needles in the twenty-odd acupoints swiftly connected within his body, forming an invisible net that sealed his meridians.

Jun Yao felt only a faint stinging sensation, and then his limbs froze. He was unable to move, as if he’d been paralyzed on the spot.

He gritted his teeth and struggled, but a sharp pain immediately shot through all his meridians, as if he were being pierced by countless needles. A look of shock surfaced in his eyes.

’What is this technique?’

’Why can’t I move?’

Huh?

A few seconds later, Jiang Yunnuan noticed he wasn’t moving, and her heart instantly filled with delight.

’So the Sealing Meridian Technique works on Beastmen, too?’

’This is great!’

’But my Cultivation is too low. I probably can’t keep him sealed for long.’

’And I only succeeded this time because he let his guard down around me. It won’t be so easy to use this on him again. I’d better prepare some other tricks.’

"Hey, why aren’t you moving anymore? Is it because you can’t?"

Jiang Yunnuan slipped out of his embrace and, grinning, patted his infuriatingly handsome face. She was being absolutely vicious.
