The Great Qin: Starting with marrying Jingni, I began my quest for immortality.

Unexpectedly, a woman came here today.

Although the woman was wearing metal armor and a silver mask, Yan Lingji was still certain that she was a woman based on her posture.

Then she saw the woman draw her long sword.

Pink sword light swirled around.

The water prison that had imprisoned Yan Lingji for many years shattered in an instant, and the aura of freedom rushed towards Yan Lingji.

Chapter Forty-Three: I will repay your life with my body!

Wow…

The crystal water prison shattered, and water spilled all over the ground.

A figure stood quietly amidst the babbling brook.

She was dressed sparsely, only covering the vital parts of her body.

Her long hair hung down, covered in water stains from being submerged for so long. However, a scorching heat emanated from her body, and as the heat appeared, the water stains on her body quickly evaporated.

White mist rose up.

In the blink of an eye, all the water on her body had evaporated.

"It's much more comfortable this way."

The woman named Yan Lingji spoke softly to herself.

Her bright gaze then fell upon the woman in front of her, who was wearing metal armor and a silver-white mask.

"Thank you for saving me."

Although he didn't know the woman in front of him and had never seen her before, it was indeed she who had saved him.

To be honest, she also disliked the kind of life where she was treated like an ornamental fish.

She is a person with a very strong sense of self-respect and never considers herself a mere pretty face.

Years ago, that fire claimed the lives of her family members, including her only brother, who also disappeared.

It was her master, Tianze, who saved her and had someone teach her the art of controlling flames.

To repay her master's kindness, she diligently cultivated her skills.

Unfortunately, ten years ago, she was ultimately too weak.

Unable to help their master stop the defeat of Baiyue, they could only watch as the armies of Han and Chu ravaged the land of Baiyue.

During her ten-year career, Yan Lingji did consider escaping.

However, no matter how powerful her fire magic was, it could not change the fact that fire was countered by water.

Confined within a crystal-crafted water prison, she couldn't sense even the slightest bit of the intense heat of the world around her, let alone manipulate it to form flames to help her escape.

Fortunately, she escaped today.

Yan Lingji had even made plans to go out, search for her master's whereabouts, and then restore Baiyue.

Just as she was thinking this.

The woman in front of her suddenly spoke up: "I didn't save you for nothing."

"Hmm?" Yan Lingji looked at the woman in front of her with some surprise, then asked, "What kind of reward do you need?"

The debt of gratitude for saving her life was immense, and she wouldn't mind repaying the debt if she could.

Immediately, she heard the woman in front of her say, "My husband has taken a liking to your beauty. I saved you, so you should repay him by becoming his concubine."

An outrageous request reached Yan Lingji's ears.

She had followed Tianze and witnessed many things, meeting all sorts of people.

Over the years, during my imprisonment, I have often felt the greedy gazes of those men.

But I've never heard such blunt words before.

Yan Lingji's eyes flickered, and she immediately replied to the woman in front of her, "That won't do. My life belongs to my master. I can't be your husband's concubine."

When Yan Lingji said those words, her tone was incredibly resolute.

"is it?"

The woman in front of Yan Lingji spoke, her voice containing a hint of coldness, "You're just a barbarian woman from Baiyue. It's your honor that my husband has taken a liking to you. You have no right to refuse."

"What if neither my master nor I agree?" Yan Lingji was initially prepared to repay the kindness of the person in front of her, after all, the other party had saved her. However, after hearing the other party's unreasonable request, a hint of coldness gradually appeared in Yan Lingji's eyes.

Although he didn't know who had sent the woman to rescue him, he guessed it was someone who had taken advantage of his looks.

Was he one of the guests the host had brought earlier to admire him?

Yan Lingji had no good feelings towards these people.

"If your master doesn't agree, I will find a way to make him agree." The woman in front of Yan Lingji did not say how to make Yan Lingji's master agree.

However, Yan Lingji disagreed and gave her a response.

"As for you, you have no right to disagree."

These words sounded rather arrogant.

Yan Lingji had never been so angry before.

When she got angry, she didn't engage in verbal or emotional arguments like a typical shrew; instead, she took direct action.

Although it hasn't been long since they escaped.

However, being outside the water dungeon and being inside the water dungeon are two completely different states.

Inside the water prison, due to its unique nature, she was unable to sense the intense heat of heaven and earth, and thus unable to draw upon that intense power to condense into fire magic.

But now, she can do it.

The next instant, flames rose up.

The dazzling flames were so intense that they momentarily obscured the light of the surrounding torches.

They coiled around Yan Lingji's body, resembling a long serpent of fire.

Under Yan Lingji's control, the long snake leaped and swept towards the woman in front of her.

The person opposite her looked at the flames manipulated by Yan Lingji without showing the slightest emotion.

He simply swung his sword lightly.

A pink sword light flashed, instantly severing the flames.

Before Yan Lingji could reassemble her flames, a dazzling sword light flashed and appeared right beside her.

An incredibly powerful sense of oppression immediately enveloped Yan Lingji's body.

A terrifying aura locked onto her body.

It gave her a feeling that the world was vast and there was nowhere to escape.

She had only ever felt this way with her master, Tianze.

In other words, she is a master comparable to her master, Tianze.

After this thought arose, Yan Lingji felt it was incredible.

He immediately assumed that he had just escaped and his strength had not yet returned to its peak, which was why he had this illusion.

Such a master would never willingly marry another man. Moreover, it seems she is completely obedient to her husband. Whenever her husband takes a fancy to another woman, she goes to great lengths to help him achieve his goal.

Yan Lingji's thoughts flickered as she continued to control the flames.

He launched a fierce attack on the woman in front of him.

Even if the other party's aura locks onto you.

She didn't even think about running away.

All you need to do is defeat the person in front of you, and their energy will dissipate.

In the underground space, the firelight and the sword light clashed once again.

Finally, the first thing to be extinguished was the firelight.

Yan Lingji is quite powerful, being a master of the innate realm. Her physique is also extremely special. According to Taoism, she possesses a Taoist body, while according to the Yin-Yang School's theory of the Five Virtues, she possesses a body of the Fire Virtue.

Such a physique allows one to naturally perceive and control the power of fire between heaven and earth.

It should be understood that ordinary people can only barely control the power of heaven and earth after reaching the Innate Realm.

Yan Lingji was able to do this from the very beginning.

With this physique and her innate realm, she is comparable to a master at the peak of the innate realm.

Unfortunately, she encountered Ru Shuang and Jing Ni.

Ru Shuang, who was once Jing Ni, was already a master-level expert when she was in Luo Wang. Now, she has one foot in the Grandmaster realm.
