The disgust in her eyes was so blatant it was practically spilling out. He couldnât pretend not to notice, and his mood instantly soured.
His handsome face clouded over, growing so dark it looked like it could drip water. Annoyed, he gripped her chin and tilted her head up, forcing her to meet his gaze.
"Wenwen, what kind of look is that?"
Her gaze shifted from the monstrously ugly thing to a handsome face so perfect it was without a single flaw. Jiang Yunnuan instantly felt the entire world brighten.
Her eyes, which had been so grievously offended, were thoroughly healed.
âAs expected, my eyes were made for looking at beautiful things.â
"Youâre so good-looking. Why do you have something so ugly attached to you?"
She blinked, unable to stop herself from speaking her mind. Her voice and expression were filled with an unmistakable disgust.
At her words, his expression darkened even more. He lowered his head and pressed several hard kisses to her lips before finally resigning himself to her disgust.
"Mm, itâs not as pretty as you are. As long as youâre pretty, thatâs enough. As for my thing... ugly is fine, as long as it works well~"
At that, he leaned close to her ear. After a slight pause, he continued, his voice low and raspy, laced with a bewitching charm.
"Baby, youâre going to be using it every day from now on. So, no complaining!"
Her face instantly flushed crimson, and she felt a pang of guilt.
âThey were mates, yet she was disgusted by a part of him. That really wasnât right. When you love someone, youâre supposed to love all of them.â
âBesides, his face was this gorgeous, and his body was stunning beyond words.â
âI just have to focus on this exquisite, flawless, and impossibly handsome face. I can just... not look at the parts I donât want to see.â
With that thought, she wrapped her arms around his neck, leaned in to kiss the corner of his lips, and gave a small nod, swallowing her embarrassment.
Pleased, the manâs mood brightened in an instant. He reached out to gently stroke her cheek and lips, a teasing glint in his eyes.
"Whatâs that nod for? Hmm?"
Wenwen: "..."
âThis bastard. Heâs definitely doing this on purpose.â
âHeâs just too wicked.â
She bit her lip as humiliation and anger welled up inside her. She indignantly turned her head away, no longer looking at him, only for him to forcibly turn her face back.
"Mad at me?"
He looked at her, amused, his voice gentle and low. She glared back, retorting angrily.
"What if I am?"
âTsk, even with her memories sealed, how is she still so feisty?â
âWhen she first woke up, she was so docile and sweet. I thought that without her memories, she would turn into a harmless little bunny.â
âBut now, it seems that was just her usual camouflage in an unfamiliar environment.â
âOnce she gets comfortable, her true natureâpampered, imperious, fiery, and dominantâwill awaken on its own.â
"Why? I donât think I did anything to deserve that, did I?"
"But you..."
She glared at him furiously, paused for a moment, and then spat out, "Pervert!"
Jun Yao: "..."
âThatâs being a pervert?â
âHas she forgotten how she was just staring at me a moment ago?â
He sighed inwardly and reached out to gently stroke her head.
"Alright, Iâm a pervert. Donât be mad. Getting angry is bad for your health."
She had expected him to get angry at that, but to her surprise, he admitted it readily, his handsome face completely free of any displeasure.
Her eyes widened, a flash of surprise darting across them.
âHe seems to be very indulgent and fond of me.â
âLooks like he really does like me a lot.â
Having reached this conclusion, the girl quietly breathed a sigh of relief. âSince he likes me, he probably wonât abandon me while my headâs still a mess, right?â
âI donât know anything about this world. Right now, heâs the only person I know. I absolutely cannot let him abandon me.â
With that in mind, she wisely nodded and spoke up.
"Okay, fine. Iâm not angry anymore!"
"Since youâre not angry anymore, shall we continue?"
Hearing this, she nodded enthusiastically in her mind, a glimmer of anticipation quietly appearing in her eyes.
âYes, yes, definitely yes! Heâs that handsome, so getting to have him is a total win. Itâs an incredible bargain.â
âOnly a fool would pass up a good deal.â
"You seem pretty happy about continuing. In that case, why donât you take the lead..."
He leaned against the headboard with one arm tucked behind his head, watching the girl before him with an air of lazy nobility.
Wenwen froze. âThis guy... he wants me to take the initiative?â
She frowned, looking troubled, but was quickly enticed once again by his handsome face. How could she pass up a man this gorgeous?
âFine, Iâll take the initiative. Itâs not like itâs going to be that hard, is it?â
Having made up her mind, she reached up to cover his eyes, then lowered her head and gently kissed the corner of his lips...
An unknown amount of time passed.
The woman in his arms was fast asleep, her hair messily strewn across her face. Her neck was covered in dark bruises.
He reached out, stroking her hair, which was as smooth as satin. Then, he picked her up and carried her into the bathroom.
After cleaning her up, he gently dressed her in a fresh nightgown and carried her into his Domain.
The Domain was like a small, virtual world.
He had specially conjured a villa, complete with kittens and puppies, and even placed two brand-new, ultra-intelligent female androids there to keep her company.
âI hope sheâll be happy living in the Domain from now on.â
After a quick shower, he changed into a clean set of clothes, walked to the side of the bed, and leaned down to kiss her forehead.
"I have to step out for a bit, but Iâll be back soon. Sweet dreams."
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure vanished.

ăWarship 0001.ă
Huo Shenmingâs face was grim. "What did you just say?" he asked in disbelief. "You want to leave the legion? Have you forgotten the deal we made?"
âThis damn kid promised he would always stay by my side, that heâd join the legion and become my right-hand man. That was the only reason I agreed to give him the Tiger Clanâs greatest treasure, the Emperorâs Soul Seal.â
âNow that the Emperorâs Soul Seal has accepted him as its master, this kid plans to just turn his back on our agreement?â
The more Huo Shenming thought about it, the angrier he became.
He could tolerate all of Jun Yaoâs flaws, but he could not stand someone who went back on their word.
Jun Yao frowned, his expression incredibly solemn.
"I havenât forgotten our deal, but I canât remain in the legion any longer. I have to leave!"
At this, Huo Shenmingâs expression grew even darker. He slammed his hand on the table and roared in anger.
"No! I wonât allow it! You are absolutely forbidden from leaving the legion. Even if the sky itself were to fall, you will damn well stay put right here!"
His stance was firm. Left with no choice, Jun Yao had to patiently try to reason with him.
"Iâm doing this for the legionâs own good. If I donât leave, it will bring catastrophic trouble to the legion. It could even lead to our complete annihilation."
âI only recently broke through to the Ultimate Venerable Stage. Relying on the Emperor Godâs Innate Divine Ability, which makes me Stronger when facing strong opponents, I might be able to hold my own against that person.â
âBut the legion is another story.â
âFor the legion, someone at the Ultimate Venerable Peak is like a godâterrifying beyond imagination. There would be absolutely no way to resist.â
âIf that person tracks me down, discovers she is with me, and then learns of my connection to the 21st Legion, then the legion and the Tiger Clan will become my weaknesses.â
âAnd I would become the harbinger of disaster for both the legion and the Tiger Clan.â
âThatâs not something I want to see happen.â
