Douluo Dragon King: I am the Lord of the Abyss, the King of Eternal Night.

Chapter 488 Imprisoning the Dark Phoenix, the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower Unleashes Its Power!
"Aunt Leng, where are we going?"

Seeing Leng Yaozhu take his hand and lead him towards a house deep inside the villa, Jiang Xiu asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Xiao Xiu, don't worry about so much, just follow Aunt Leng."

A unique charm appeared in Leng Yaozhu's cold and beautiful phoenix eyes, and her red lips parted slightly, releasing a faint fragrance.

Recalling the feeling of perfect harmony when she fused with Jiang Xiu's martial spirit, Leng Yaozhu's slender legs couldn't help but slightly close together...

Soon, led by Leng Yaozhu, Jiang Xiu arrived at the house and took the soul-guided elevator to the bottom of the house.

Below were two rooms used for cultivation.

What puzzled Jiang Xiu was that there was a large, clean white bed in one of the rooms, but judging from its appearance, it seemed to have been recently installed...

"Could it be that Aunt Leng is tired from cultivating and is resting here?" Jiang Xiu wondered to himself.

However, the appearance of this training room felt strange to him...

It resembled a secret chamber belonging to a powerful force that he had seen in ancient texts...

"Xiao Xiu, what were you trying to say?" Leng Yaozhu suddenly stopped and turned to look at Jiang Xiu, who stood tall and straight behind her, her beautiful eyes rippling with emotion.

At this moment, Leng Yaozhu's gaze towards Jiang Xiu was already filled with a different kind of color. As she spoke, her proud body imperceptibly leaned slightly towards Jiang Xiu, and her red robe swayed slightly.

“Aunt Leng, I’ve also brought you a special gift.” Jiang Xiu said with a mysterious smile.

Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu's red lips curled up, and she crossed her arms over her chest, giving Jiang Xiu a meaningful look.

She wanted to say that Jiang Xiu was the best gift she could receive at that moment.

Even though she has been away from Jiang Xiu for many years, and her beloved younger sister Leng Yulai is here, she will never give up on him.

But the next moment, Leng Yaozhu suddenly moved, her red lips opening blankly.

Jiang Xiu waved his hand with his well-defined knuckles, and a dark domain unfolded. Then, a figure dressed in a dark red robe, both familiar and unfamiliar to her, appeared before her.

Upon seeing this figure, Leng Yaozhu's usually aloof expression faltered slightly.

Jiang Xiu really brought his younger sister, Leng Yulai!

Jiang Xiu glanced at Leng Yulai on the ground, then at Leng Yaozhu beside him, and nodded.

It can only be said that they are worthy of being sisters. Leng Yulai and Leng Yaozhu are seven or eight parts similar. However, Leng Yaozhu has been in a high position for many years and clearly carries a bit of the majesty and aloofness of a person in a position of power.

Leng Yulai's pretty face was pale, her red lips and eyes were very striking, and she had a somewhat bewitching and rebellious expression.

Like twin lotus flowers blooming side by side...

Jiang Xiu pulled her from the King's Domain and she felt the light above her. Leng Yulai slowly woke up, but when she saw Leng Yaozhu in front of her, her delicate body trembled violently.

Immediately afterwards, her pretty face showed annoyance and panic, which then turned into anger, even a bit ferocious, as she growled in a low, sharp voice:

"Leng Yaozhu! It's you! I don't want to see you!"

"younger sister……"

Seeing Leng Yulai's hateful gaze and ferocious face, Leng Yaozhu felt a sharp pain in her heart.

There aren't many people in this world who can make her worry, but Leng Yulai is one of them.

Leng Yaozhu wanted to face her younger sister, who had left because of that incident, but she didn't know where to begin.

"Sister?" Upon hearing this, Leng Yulai responded as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, coldly saying, "We're not sisters anymore, why are you still looking for me?!"

Leng Yaozhu paused for a moment, then said softly:
"I didn't look for you, you appeared in front of me on your own..."

"..." Leng Yulai's face stiffened, her eyes flashing with shame and ferocity, and she growled:

"So, now that you see me looking like a defeated dog, aren't you very smug?!"

Leng Yaozhu shook her head slightly, a hint of sorrow in her phoenix eyes, "I don't know why you left back then, but the truth isn't what you think..."

"Heh." Leng Yulai sat on the ground, her tone filled with resentment, her dark red eyes flashing with hostility as she spoke:
"Back then, you did everything better than me. Although I was trying my best to catch up, the elders of the family only valued you and made you the head of the Leng family."

"Later, you clearly said you'd let go of the past and wouldn't compete with me for Yunming anymore, but you still went to see him!"

“That’s not how it is.” Leng Yaozhu shook her head and said, “I did it for you that time…”

Jiang Xiu's eyes flickered slightly when he saw this.

Back then, Leng Yaozhu had already understood her true feelings, so she went to talk to Yun Ming about it, but that time it was more about letting Yun Ming see Leng Yulai.

However, Leng Yulai, who was secretly following, misunderstood the situation and thought that Leng Yaozhu had deceived her. As a result, she left the Leng family and joined the Holy Spirit Cult.

Sure enough, as soon as Leng Yaozhu said this, Leng Yulai interrupted her directly:
"You weren't like this back then! You were the one who broke your promise first!"

The next moment, Leng Yulai saw Jiang Xiu beside Leng Yaozhu. Seeing the two standing together intimately, she seemed to understand something and spoke rudely:

"Oh! I see, Leng Yaozhu, you're thinking about Lao Niu now..."

"Shut up!"

Before Leng Yulai could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Leng Yaozhu, who blocked her mouth with a powerful soul force.

Immediately, a hint of shame appeared in Leng Yaozhu's eyes, her proud chest heaved slightly, and she looked at Jiang Xiu beside her with a somewhat flustered gaze.

"Xiao Xiu, don't listen to what Yu Lai is saying..."

“Aunt Leng, she’s just a wicked soul master, why should I listen to what she says?” Jiang Xiu said with a slight smile. “That’s good, that’s good.” Leng Yaozhu said repeatedly, seeing Jiang Xiu’s calm and composed expression.

But a unique hint of loss flickered in his phoenix eyes...

Leng Yaozhu immediately suppressed her emotions and looked at Jiang Xiu, asking, "Xiao Xiu, how did you catch Yu Lai?"

"Her..." Jiang Xiu's eyes flashed, and he slowly recounted what had just happened.

However, the identities of Emperor Zhi and the others were not revealed; it was only said that a senior had captured Leng Yulai.

"Yu Lai, you actually wanted to kill Xiao Xiu!"

After hearing the whole story, Leng Yaozhu looked at Leng Yulai in disbelief and casually lifted Leng Yulai's silencing.

"I just want to kill him! Don't you care about him? The more you care, the more exciting it will be for me to kill him!"

Leng Yulai said fiercely, her expression filled with pleasure: "But I won't kill him directly. I'll imprison him and then provoke you!"

Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu recalled how her younger sister had been a member of the Holy Spirit Cult for so many years and how her character had changed, and her heart ached once again.

After a long silence, a resolute glint flashed in Leng Yaozhu's eyes as she looked at Jiang Xiu and said in a deep voice:
"Xiao Xiu, since Yu Lai wants to kill you, you can do whatever you want with her..."

But looking at Leng Yulai, Leng Yaozhu still had a trace of familial affection in her eyes, and said with a hint of sincerity:
"But Xiao Xiu, I hope you can spare Yu Lai's life..."

“Since you’ve said so, Aunt Leng, then I will naturally spare her life,” Jiang Xiu said with a smile.

He didn't care at all, and hadn't even considered Leng Yulai's assassination attempt. After all, his only target this time was the Ghost Emperor; in other words, Leng Yulai was just a bonus...

After a moment's thought, Jiang Xiu's eyes flashed and he said:

“However, Leng Yulai may be spared the death penalty, but she cannot escape punishment. Since she wants to imprison me, then let’s do the opposite. Please, Aunt Leng, imprison her here.”

Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu nodded slightly in agreement. This way, Leng Yulai's life could be preserved, and she could be prevented from going out to harm others.

"You want to imprison me? No! Absolutely not!"

Upon hearing this, Leng Yulai began to struggle frantically.

She originally wanted to provoke and retaliate against Leng Yaozhu, but now she has been imprisoned by Leng Yaozhu instead. Does that mean she has to face Leng Yaozhu's provocations and insults every day?

"Jiang Xiu! You're the one who captured me! Why should I hand me over to this woman!"

"I can change! I won't harm the Federation like I used to!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu shook his head slightly and said calmly:

"A rotten orange is a rotten orange. You're an evil spirit master for life, and you'll be an evil spirit master for life!"

After saying that, Jiang Xiu raised his hand to strengthen the restraints on Leng Yulai again, and then used his hand to make the unique Netherworld Iron Chains that restrain soul power imprison Leng Yulai in a room on one side.

Seeing this scene, Leng Yaozhu felt much more relaxed, but when she saw the way Jiang Xiu tied her up, her beautiful eyes flickered slightly.

She felt that Jiang Xiu's binding was a bit strange.

"Jiang Xiu! Don't trust this woman. I can do anything Leng Yaozhu can do!"

Leng Yulai was hanging on the wall, but she was still growling.

Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu's eyes immediately showed a hint of anger and a trace of barely perceptible shyness.

If Leng Yulai came too...

The next moment, Leng Yaozhu immediately dismissed the idea and closed the door to the room.

To Jiang Xiu's surprise, the room was so well soundproofed that as soon as the door closed, Leng Yulai's voice could no longer be heard.

"Xiao Xiu, thank you so much this time. If you hadn't brought Yu Lai back, I don't know how many more mistakes she would have made."

Leng Yaozhu took Jiang Xiu's hand and said earnestly with her beautiful eyes.

“Aunt Leng, there’s no need to thank me. You’ve been so good to me all these years, it wouldn’t be enough to repay you with a thousandfold gratitude.”

Jiang Xiu said indifferently.

"I will repay you with a spring of gratitude..." Leng Yaozhu's beautiful eyes sparkled upon hearing this.

Just then, Jiang Xiu took out the Phoenix Sunflower that he had prepared beforehand, and the scorching heat instantly spread throughout the sealed room.

"This...this is a Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower?"

Upon seeing the immortal herb in Jiang Xiu's hand, Leng Yaozhu's beautiful eyes widened in surprise, and she quickly pushed the Phoenix Sunflower back with her delicate hand.

"Such a precious herb, Xiao Xiu, you should keep it for yourself. Aunt Leng can't take it..."

She was well aware of the value of the immortal herb. Twenty thousand years ago, without the blessing of the immortal herb, many of the Shrek Seven Devils would not even have been qualified to be gods.

This is enough to demonstrate the efficacy and preciousness of the herb.

But before Leng Yaozhu could finish speaking, Jiang Xiu forcefully shoved the object into her hand.

"Aunt Leng, I'm not a fire elementalist, and besides, this is something I gave you especially!"

Hearing the voice beside her and feeling the warmth emanating from the Phoenix Sunflower in her hand, Leng Yaozhu's originally cold and aloof expression seemed to melt away...

But neither of them noticed that at the center of the Phoenix Cockscomb Sunflower were two stamens that resembled the intertwining of yin and yang...
