Candlelight illuminated the bridal chamber.
After a long while, the storm subsided.
Bai Ling lay on Ao Qing's chest, looking up at him with her head tilted back.
Ao Qing pricked his finger, gently drawing on Bai Ling's smooth back with his blood.
Bai Ling, thinking Ao Qing was simply playing, didn't mind and snuggled closer to him, acting cute.
But Ao Qing wasn't being childish.
Or rather, when it was time to be serious, he wouldn't be careless in the slightest.
As Ao Qing's blood formed a pattern on Bai Ling's back.
A Soul Control Curse from the Dragon Clan's treasure trove was completed.
The blood that formed the Soul Control Curse slowly seeped into Bai Ling's body.
Bai Ling's eyes flickered momentarily, but quickly returned to their usual liveliness, showing no sign of noticing. She simply looked at Ao Qing beneath her, the love in her heart growing even more intense.
After casting the spell, a wavering, illusory curse mark appeared in Ao Qing's mind.
With his blood and this curse mark.
Bai Ling became Ao Qing's loyal servant.
It wasn't that Ao Qing mistreated Bai Ling, but rather, Bai Ling's personality didn't inspire trust.
Ao Qing hadn't forgotten that he had pretended to be Bai Ling's benefactor and then slept with her.
If she ever discovered that Chen Liang was the real one, she might just put a green hat on Ao Qing's head.
Ao Qing may have blue dragon scales, but he didn't want to wear a green hat.
With the Soul Control Curse, Bai Ling no longer saw any other men, and others wouldn't notice anything unusual.
This was finally secure.
Patting Bai Ling's behind.
Ao Qing instructed:
"From today onward, you'll continue to serve by the side of the Kunlun Cave Master. If you have any news, go to West Lake to find me."
Bai Ling, under the influence of the curse, was obedient and docile, hummed in response, accepting the task.
Ao Qing had no other intentions for this arrangement, just a means to create some leisure time for himself while preventing the West Lake Dragon Palace from exploding too quickly.
After all, going out and bringing back a fox spirit...
Huan Yun and Xia Gu at home would probably be unhappy.
After a while of tenderness.
Ao Qing soared into the air, transforming into a dragon form, accompanied by swirling thick clouds.
When he returned to Chen's Village, the sky was already bright.
Ji Gong was performing a spell, taking a mud pill from his sleeve and feeding it to the drowned Yan Shi. Then, with his broken fan, he gently fanned her.
There wasn't much movement.
Yan Shi, who had been dead for a while, rose to her feet, restored to her former appearance.
After doing this, Ji Gong left, fanning himself.
He planned to return to Lingyin Temple and wait for Chen Liang to come to him for apprenticeship after he woke up.
Huan Yun stopped Yan Shi and questioned her.
For example, she asked Yan Shi if she was willing to take on the role of the temple guardian of Ao Qing the Dragon King.
Yan Shi had experienced life and death in the past few days, seeing the true dragon, the snake spirit, and the arhat. How could she dare have any objections?
Seeing her like this, Huan Yun took out a pill filled with red light from her sleeve.
"This is the Blood Ghost Transmigration Pill. After taking it, you can separate your soul and temporarily transform into a vengeful spirit, granting you a degree of self-protection."
Yan Shi took the pill and swallowed it. Her already pale face became even paler.
After doing everything, Huan Yun sent Yan Shi off to report to the Dragon King Temple herself.
The temple had servants brought by Huan Yun herself, who would naturally handle the handover with Yan Shi.
After Yan Shi left, Huan Yun smiled and looked at Ao Qing, her eyes filled with meaning.
"Ao Qing brother is back, did you bring us breakfast?"
Ao Qing understood her meaning and spread out his empty hands to demonstrate.
"Unfortunately, I ate outside and didn't think to bring anything back."
Huan Yun nodded in satisfaction, stepped forward and wrapped her arm around Ao Qing's, and began calling for Xia Gu and Xiao Qing.
"Sisters, come on, let's go out to eat, good brother is treating!"
With that, she dragged Ao Qing along, leading the way towards the Chen family's main gate.
The morning market was filled with the aroma of food.
They all possessed spiritual power, but who would refuse a warm breakfast in the morning?
Huan Yun held a bowl of noodles bigger than her face and slurped them down.
Xia Gu took small bites of her bun.
Xiao Qing held a cup of soy milk and drank it, her eyebrows curved happily since Bai Su Zhen returned. She was adorable.
Bai Su Zhen didn't want anything. She sat and waited for Xiao Qing, occasionally glancing at Ao Qing, then she would start to space out.
Ao Qing broke a piece of steamed bun and threw it into the mutton soup, starting to tell everyone about last night's events.
Of course, he omitted the story of Bai Ling.
After hearing the story of Hei Feng and Bai Ling.
Huan Yun wiped her mouth and sneered.
"It's a good thing that guy died easily. With his tricks, we wasted a whole day running around."
Xiao Qing shook her head, saying seriously:
"Although this wolf demon's methods are unacceptable, his love wasn't fake. It's just a pity that he didn't meet the right person."
Xia Gu, cold on the outside but fiery on the inside, also sneered.
"Love? Just couldn't find a place to release his desires."
Bai Su Zhen remained silent. She was thinking about her future tribulation.
Would she become like this then?
Just a thought sent a chill down her spine, a sense of disgust rising in her heart.
A thousand years of cultivation, how could it be wasted like this.
Ao Qing slurped down the soup, but felt that the mutton flavor was not as good as the roasted pig from yesterday.
He was thinking about finding a time to roast Hei Feng's body and try it.
Huan Yun suddenly smiled and said:
"Speaking of which, how would Ao Qing brother have done it?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the table turned their gaze towards him.
Ao Qing calmly wiped his mouth, nonchalantly saying:
"Knock him unconscious, drug him. In this day and age, who still pretends to be a decent person?"
Xiao Qing pouted, angrily saying: "Bad guy."
Bai Su Zhen looked at Ao Qing, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes, thinking to herself: "He's not a good person, indeed."
Xia Gu was lost in thought, looking from Ao Qing to herself.
Huan Yun smirked, seemingly anticipating this, and shouted:
"Boss, check out! He's paying!"
