44 Sowing Karma, Repaying Debts (2/2)

”I really won't do anything that will harm the Xia Clan. So you calm down and stop crying, okay?” Jiang Tian rubbed her head as he thought in his mind, Why does this feel like I'm domesticating a cat instead of a tigress...

”Wuwuwu...” Sniffing, Xia Xingyue's eyes shone with hope as she said, ”You really won't?” Her sparkling eyes contained a charm that reeled Jiang Tian's consciousness into it and he felt like he was falling into an incomparably deep abyss.

Crack...

The sound of glass breaking echoed within his mind and Jiang Tian recovered from his stupor. Knitted his eyebrows, he stared at the innocent looking Xia Xingyue and said.

”Did you really think that a measly charming technique would work against me?” His voice rang out like thunder and Xia Xingyue staggered backward. Her expression revealed disbelief and witnessing her countenance, Jiang Tian confirmed his suspicions.

”Seeing you looking like that, what I said shouldn't be wrong. So you actually dared to attack me while I was thinking of forgiving you?”

Xia Xingyue's eyes dimmed, the Slave Seal only triggered when she thought of harming Jiang Tian. Charming Techniques didn't trigger the Slave Seal since it merely seduced the target and caused him no real harm.

She thought that she could turn the tables against him using such a loophole, but alas. Jiang Tian's soul was unfortunately stronger than her.

Biting her lower lip until it bled, Xia Xingyue said in a complicated voice.

”I understand, it's my fault, I shouldn't have did that while you're about to forgive me...” She hung her head low in shame and embarrassment, not daring to meet his critical gaze.

”It's fine, your efforts were futile anyways so why should I bother?” Jiang Tian shrugged, but before Xia Xingyue could rejoice, he announced.

”Excellent actions deserves reward and so does wrongdoings. Just because I forgive you doesn't mean that you're not entitled to a punishment...” Jiang Tian licked his lips and a cruel idea formed in his mind.

If he wanted to attain stronger power in the shortest time possible. He knew a method that would certainly bestow him that strength. However, it sacrificed something important from Xia Xingyue. But who cares? As long as he increased his strength and inched closer to the peak, Jiang Tian would do anything no matter how cruel it was.

Xia Xingyue saw the crazed look within Jiang Tian's eyes and she subconsciously staggered in fear. His eyes resembled those lecherous wolves that defiled her body with their eyes.

”N-No... Anything but that...” She uttered a weak cry, but under the effects of the Seal Slave, her protests were futile as Jiang Tian disrobed and approached her with big steps.

Tears dripping down her cheeks, Xia Xingyue felt a huge force embrace her body as Jiang Tian rotated his Ghost Emperor Scripture to the limits.

His method involved bypassing her natural defensive systems by keeping skin to skin contact. Using that as the backdoor, Jiang Tian acquired access to her soul and started his consumption.

Using her essence as the fuel, Jiang Tian's Ghost Emperor Scripture's cultivation base rapidly increased as Xia Xingyue continuously trembled within his embrace.

Several hours swiftly passed and Jiang Tian completed his plunder of Xia Xingyue's essence. Her cultivation base declined from the peak of Core Formation to the Initial Stage of Core Formation. Placing her on the bed, Jiang Tian sighed in his heart.

Sensing the power coursing through his body. Jiang Tian sighed in his heart and mumbled, ”I sowed karma with the Xia Clan once again. It looks like there's a need for me to lend them a hand to their expedition at that Mystic Realm...”

Staring at Xia Xingyue's frail and delicate figure. Jiang Tian revolved his Ghost Emperor Scripture and enveloped her body with his protection so that her soul's recovery would hasten.

Though his methods were sometimes ruthless, Jiang Tian wasn't a mindless slaughterer and as long as one didn't block his way. He wouldn't care about them.

Covering her with a blanket, Jiang Tian heard a voice and knocking from outside, ”Jiang Tian! Are you still gonna sleep? It's already noon! Come out and eat your lunch!”
