If I hadn't seen through her true nature before, I probably would have been fooled by her pitiful appearance.

Although he is now punishing the naive and young Lin Xi, not the demonic witch who has already experienced bloodshed in her previous life.

But she will eventually walk that path.

She will become the leader of the infamous Immortal Demon Sect.

A demonic witch who has harmed countless lives.

The viperous woman who killed herself.

Once he thought of this, his resolve wavered.

Chu Yang watched coldly for a long time, looking down at Lin Xi with disdain.

Are you going to keep crying forever?

Lin Xi remained unmoved, and continued to sob softly.

"......"

Seeing the unmoved woman, Chu Yang's handsome brows furrowed.

Sigh, after all, her identity is extraordinary.

Whether it's because of the relationship between their parents or her status as a true disciple of the Xuanling Sect, she cannot act impulsively.

Otherwise, it will definitely harm your family in the end.

The pressure has been enough; now it's time to offer some incentives.

At that moment, his tone became less fierce.

"Lin Xi, as long as you behave well, I won't make any unreasonable demands."

"This Soul Cleansing Lock is a quasi-Emperor-level magic artifact. It can not only help you absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but also has a defensive effect. It will also have many other wonderful uses later on."

"Restraining you is just the tip of the iceberg of its capabilities."

"Although I use it to bind you, you also understand that it will be used by you in the future."

"What?!"

"A quasi-imperial weapon?!"

These words instantly dispelled Lin Xi's humiliation with astonishment.

This bracelet that locks me in is actually a quasi-Emperor artifact?

A quasi-Emperor artifact—this touches upon the threshold of the ninth realm in the cultivation world—the Great Emperor realm!

The Great Emperor was the strongest being on the entire continent.

Even though their Xuanling Sect is the overlord of the entire Northern Spirit Domain, they don't have many quasi-emperor artifacts, yet the bracelet Chu Yang is wearing on his wrist is a quasi-emperor artifact?

Chu Yang actually gave up the quasi-emperor weapon and put it on himself?

With the blessing of a quasi-emperor artifact, he can handle his cultivation and other aspects with ease.

this.....

this.....

This... doesn't seem like it's impossible...

"......"

Pooh!

Wait, what are you thinking about?!

How could you suddenly and so readily admit that he enslaved you?

Quasi-Emperor?

What happened to the Quasi-Emperor?

Isn't it just a quasi-Emperor weapon?

It's not like we haven't seen it before.

Do they want to control Lin Xi's fate?

dream!

You don't deserve it at all!

Lin Xi shook her head, inwardly cursing.

However, due to reality, she dared not show it.

Seeing that Lin Xi had calmed down, Chu Yang stroked her white hair.

He whispered close to her ear.

"I am a reborn person, and I possess far more secrets than you can imagine."

"Treasures, inheritances, secret realms, and some interesting secrets."

"Like your secret."

"Lin Xi, I can help you become stronger, allowing you to surpass all the geniuses of the Xuanling Sect, and even... break through to become an immortal."

Lin Xiliu's eyes flickered.

She understood that Chu Yang, as a reborn individual, indeed possessed this ability.

The reborn person, in addition to the changes in himself, also understands some key information about the outside world.

The future developments of the Northern Spirit Realm over the next ten, twenty, or even several hundred years.

The benefits of this treasure are unimaginable.

And now he is telling himself, making promises to himself, which is to make himself completely dependent on him.

Most people simply cannot resist this temptation...

Lin Xi took a deep breath and asked, "So you're going to keep me by your side forever?"

Whether I keep you by my side in the future depends on your performance.

"If you behave well, I might be able to let go of the hatred in my heart."

"At least for now, you have to play along with me."

"Acting?" Lin Xi frowned.

"That's right, just like before, let our parents think we're a loving and harmonious couple."

"You should also know about the relationship between our two families."

"After the battle in the hall today, my parents, uncles and aunts and I promised that I would persuade you to accept this marriage and stop ostracizing me."

"From now on, you'll pretend to be my fiancée and get along well with me on the surface. Don't let anyone slip by and put our parents in a difficult position."

Pretending to be a harmonious couple?

Lin Xi suddenly realized.

Chu Yang is secretly enslaving me, while on the surface he wants me to cooperate with him and maintain a harmonious relationship.

To avoid being discovered.

In this way, the conflict between the Chu family and the Lin family, as well as the attack from the Xuanling Sect, can be avoided.

"......"

"Okay, I agree."

"But from now on, you can't treat me too badly."

Lin Xi was helpless.

Given the current situation, we have no choice but to agree, and then we'll figure out a way to escape later.

It might even teach Chu Yang a painful lesson!

Let him be so domineering here!

Chu Yang's expression was indifferent, and he neither agreed nor disagreed with Lin Xi's words.

Now she's his prisoner, and he can do whatever he wants with her.

Why should we care about the feelings of prisoners?

"Okay, that's enough."

"I still have some things to deal with tomorrow, I should rest."

After uttering his last words, Chu Yang leaned against the headboard, half-lying on the bed, and closed his eyes to rest.

After resting in Chuyang, Lin Xi felt somewhat at a loss.

However, this also allowed her to relax her tense mind.

She should be alright at least tonight.

She silently watched Chu Yang for several minutes, making sure he didn't make any moves, before carefully climbing out of bed.

She could never feel at ease sleeping in the same bed as Chu Yang.

Let's just sleep on the floor.

However, just as she was about to land, Chu Yang's words suddenly came.

"If you step off this bed even half a step, I'll sever your Achilles tendons."

Lin Xi's expression froze.

The outstretched ankle was immediately pulled back.

Curled up on one side of the bed.

"rest."

Chu Yang remained with his eyes closed, concentrating, but this time his tone was much more relaxed.

Lin Xiyi stood by the bed, glaring at him through gritted teeth.

"Damn it, what are you so arrogant about? If you're so capable, undo my cultivation and let's have a real fight!"

"So what if you're a reincarnated person? I'm a transmigrator!"

"..."

"Waaah~~ Fine, a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. I'll let you off the hook for today."

Looking at Chu Yang's profile, Lin Xi clenched her fists.

She shocked herself several times; she was determined to get revenge!

The spacious bed was occupied by two people on each side.

The slightly heavy breathing that accompanied her every time made Lin Xi's heart tighten with anxiety.

At the same time, a faint, pleasant fragrance lingers in the air, refreshing the senses.

This is the unique body fragrance of Lin Xi after awakening the ultimate ice.

Lin Xi will probably need some time to adjust.

"Sigh, how can I escape Chu Yang's clutches?"

He was secretly making plans.

at the same time.

[Ding! The host's attitude is wavering, and he is helpless, so he is forcibly numbing himself with an optimistic mindset.]

[Option 3: Tanking]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained one Grade 4 Three-Element Pill!]

"System, are you mocking me?"

[Hey host, you only need to cooperate a little to get the reward from option one, so why are you being so hesitant?]

"You're telling me I suddenly and inexplicably transmigrated to the world of cultivation and became some kind of woman, and before I even understood what was going on, my enemy from the future resurrected to seek revenge, torture, and abuse me, and then you expect me to immediately submit to him?"

So you don't treat me like a human being, huh?

No normal person would just accept something like this out of the blue!

She is still somewhat disoriented.

Her reaction is exactly what a normal person would do!

You're not human either...

"Um???"

[No, this system says, "Since you're here, make the best of it." The host is already playing the role of the fiancée, and as long as you cooperate with the progress choices, you will receive unexpected rewards.]

[Then become stronger and crush Chu Yang under your feet!]

"......"

"Ugh."

Lin Xi pinched the bridge of her nose, feeling a bit of a headache.

Given the current situation, this is indeed the only option...
