‘Sect Leader? This beauty is the Sect Leader?’
Su Chun couldn’t help but mutter to herself.
Indeed, the woman before her was the current Sect Leader of the Taiyi Sect, Jiang Ruoyin.
Upon hearing the voices outside, the beautiful woman flicked her finger.
The binding force wrapped around Su Chun’s body instantly unraveled.
Caught off guard, Su Chun tumbled straight into the woman’s embrace.
Her cheek made intimate contact with a soft, warm surface, and her nose was instantly filled with a cold, refreshing fragrance.
“Mmph!”
Like a startled rabbit, Su Chun immediately began to struggle, but she was held firmly in the woman’s arms, unable to move a muscle.
Although she possessed the Primal Chaos Body, it was fundamentally impossible for her to contend with a powerhouse of the Divine Firmament Realm.
Furthermore, the Laws of Heaven and Earth in the Sky-Prison Realm were so chaotic that the effects of her Chaos Power were significantly diminished.
Jiang Ruoyin looked down at the little girl squirming in her arms, a peculiar smile playing on her lips.
“So young, yet already a cultivator of the Spirit Wheel Realm. Moreover, there is a unique ripple of power within your body—your constitution is certainly no ordinary one.”
Jiang Ruoyin was currently probing Su Chun’s body.
“Little girl, those people outside have something to do with you, don’t they? Did you lead them here?”
“Mmmph, mmmph…”
Su Chun’s small head was pressed against the woman’s chest, making it difficult to breathe, let alone speak.
‘Hey, hey, hey! What is going on? Am I running into a second Big Sis? Why do you women all love doing this? Are you bullying me because I don’t have the tools right now and can’t do anything about it?’
Su Chun felt incredibly aggrieved.
“You still dare to struggle? Move again, and I shall strip you bare and hang you at the gates of my Taiyi Sect for all to see,” Jiang Ruoyin threatened in a low, sinister voice.
At those words, Su Chun, who had been struggling wildly, instantly froze.
Seeing her behave, Jiang Ruoyin finally loosened her grip slightly to let her breathe.
“Phew… So, Sister, you are the Sect Leader of the Taiyi Sect. You have to be fair to me…”
Su Chun hurriedly recounted everything she had just experienced to Jiang Ruoyin.
Jiang Ruoyin listened, looking stunned.
She hadn’t expected that Su Chun had not only snatched the treasure the Taiyi Sect had set its sights on but had also been pursued by her own sect and the Nine Major Sects before accidentally fleeing into her private quarters.
Just as she was about to say something, a violent collision of Spiritual Power erupted outside.
“Forget it. I will deal with you once this trouble is resolved.”
Jiang Ruoyin raised her hand and flicked her wrist.
Several moon-white energy ropes shot out from the surroundings, binding Su Chun and suspending her in the air within the bedchamber.
“Sect Leader Sister, what are you doing? I’m really innocent!”
Su Chun shouted, struggling against the ropes.
“Hmph! Whether you are innocent or not can be discussed later. For now, stay put and wait for my return.”
Jiang Ruoyin chuckled.
With a graceful turn, a set of moon-white, ornate palace robes appeared on her body, and her hair shifted into a dignified, mature style.
At that moment, she looked like the sovereign of a lunar palace.
—
She transformed into a streak of light and flew out of the bedchamber, arriving at the mountain gate of the Taiyi Sect.
At the entrance, the cultivators of the Taiyi Sect were locked in a fierce battle with those from the Nine Major Sects.
The people from the Nine Major Sects believed Su Chun was a member of the Taiyi Sect and that they were merely putting on a play to keep the treasure for themselves.
Therefore, after sensing Su Chun flee into the Taiyi Sect’s territory, they had turned hostile once again.
“Sect Leader!”
The Taiyi Sect cultivators were overjoyed when they saw Jiang Ruoyin appear.
Jiang Ruoyin raised her jade-like hand, and the moisture in the air suddenly condensed into countless ice spikes, all aimed at the cultivators of the Nine Major Sects.
“People of the Nine Major Sects, you think you can run wild before the gates of my Taiyi Sect?”
Before her voice even faded, a barrage of ice spikes poured down on the enemy cultivators like a torrential rain.
“Eh? Not good! It’s that witch, Jiang Ruoyin!”
The faces of the cultivators from the nine sects changed drastically.
They quickly raised their defenses to block Jiang Ruoyin’s attack.
However, she did not deal a killing blow.
After suppressing the powerhouses of the Nine Major Sects, she spoke in a cold voice.
“Take your people and get out of here immediately. If you are not gone within three breaths, do not blame me for being heartless.”
“One.”
“Two.”
“Three.”
“We’re… retreating!”
Though the cultivators were unwilling, they were intimidated by Jiang Ruoyin’s strength.
They dared not stay a moment longer and fled as streaks of light.
“A bunch of cowards. They ran before I even used thirty percent of my power.”
Once they were gone, the Taiyi Sect cultivators immediately cheered, shouting, “Long live the Sect Leader!”
The Taiyi Sect Elder who had been chasing Su Chun earlier hurried to Jiang Ruoyin’s side.
“Sect Leader, we—”
Jiang Ruoyin raised her hand, cutting him off.
“No need to say more. I already know. That little girl is in my quarters; I will handle her.”
The black-robed Elder looked delighted.
“Yes, Sect Leader. However, that girl is very strange. Please do not let her escape… the Seven-Colored Exquisite Fruit is also on her person…”
The black-robed Elder quickly gave a detailed explanation of Su Chun’s situation.
After listening, Jiang Ruoyin transformed back into a white light and vanished, returning to her bedchamber.
—
“Eh? Sect Leader Sister—no, Beautiful Sister, please let me go. I’m really not a bad person. If you think I troubled you or that I saw too much when you were undressed… how about this? You can strip me bare and look all you want. We’ll call it even, okay?”
The moment Su Chun saw Jiang Ruoyin return, she immediately began begging for her freedom.
Jiang Ruoyin beckoned with her hand, and the bound Su Chun floated toward her once again.
“You aren’t very old, yet your tongue is quite slick. You don’t act like a girl at all; you’re more like a pampered young master from a great family.”
Su Chun’s expression froze.
She thought to herself: ‘Saying I’m a young master from a great family… I guess that isn’t wrong.’
“Well, hehe, Beautiful Sister, look at me. I’m so cute, I definitely don’t have any bad intentions. Can’t you really just let me go?”
Su Chun widened her eyes, looking at Jiang Ruoyin with a pitiful expression.
Jiang Ruoyin seemed to be considering Su Chun’s words.
However, after a moment, she suddenly smiled.
Her smile was like a field of flowers in full bloom.
“Little girl, I see that you have a remarkable skeletal structure. You’re good material. How about this? Become my disciple, and I shall overlook your previous offense.”
“Huh?”
For a moment, Su Chun suspected she had heard incorrectly.
“Be… become your disciple? I don’t want to! Who knows if your Taiyi Sect follows some wicked path? I come from a good family.”
She remembered the cultivators from the nine sects calling the Taiyi Sect a “demoted criminal sect.”
The smile on Jiang Ruoyin’s face stiffened, but she quickly regained her composure, though her gaze grew several degrees colder.
“A wicked path? Little girl, you should watch your words. I am a cultivator of the Divine Firmament Realm. My willingness to take a mere Spirit Sea cultivator as a disciple is your good fortune.”
Su Chun curled her lip.
“Sorry, I refuse. Why don’t you just beat me up instead? Either way, I’m not becoming your disciple.”
Seeing that Su Chun remained stubborn, the chill on Jiang Ruoyin’s face deepened.
“It seems you won’t understand your situation until I show you some color.”
Jiang Ruoyin flicked her finger.
In an instant, Su Chun’s clothes were stripped from her body, leaving a cold draft to wash over her entire frame.
“Ah! What are you doing?!”
Su Chun screamed.
Being tied up in such an embarrassing posture was bad enough, but now she had been stripped naked.
She felt that her current appearance was utterly humiliating.
The energy ropes binding her tightened even further, making it somewhat difficult for her to breathe.
“Little girl, you will either perform the discipleship ceremony, or I will hang you at the gates of the Taiyi Sect right now. I’ll let my disciples admire your youthful figure. What do you think?”
“You… you’re shameless! We’re both women! Why must a woman make things difficult for another woman?!”
Su Chun’s face turned beet red.
She realized that while the beauty before her was gorgeous, her personality was the complete opposite of her appearance.
