Chapter 268 266: Still Getting Spanked by Pei Yuhang Even After Breaking Through to Divinity Transformation

The surging sea of lightning gradually calmed. The Thunder Power that had roiled through the Cloud Sea like furious dragons now seemed to have been tamed by an invisible force, slowly receding.

The heavy, dark clouds began to part, revealing a faint ray of sunlight that shone upon Ji Xichan's serene face.

Her waist-length black hair fluttered gently in the wind. As she watched the Divine Maiden Statue slowly fly toward her, a trace of imperceptible awe—something that hadn't appeared even when she faced the Celestial Tribulation—flickered in her beautiful eyes.

The face of the Divine Maiden Statue remained as calm as still water, its features picturesque, its body emitting a faint silver glow.

Just moments ago, however, this seemingly ordinary Divine Maiden Statue had displayed an incredible power—the boundless sea of lightning had been drawn by an unseen force, transforming into ribbons of silver light that slowly flowed into the statue's body.

One had to understand that the Celestial Tribulation was the ultimate curse cast upon all living beings by the Ancient Divine Spirits. It contained a measure of the Power of the Great Dao and was no ordinary thunderstorm.

But before the Divine Maiden Statue, it was like a docile stream, completely unable to resist. The majestic lightning coiled around the statue before being gently slurped into its body like noodle soup.

The entire process was as smooth as flowing water, without the slightest hitch.

Ji Xichan watched the Divine Maiden Statue slowly sink into her shadow. Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, a flicker of contemplation in them.

She had yet to fully comprehend the origin of this Divine Maiden Statue. It seemed ordinary, but whether it was deducing the future or digesting a Celestial Tribulation, it held a power that would drive the world mad.

Moreover, this kind of Spiritual Object was not inanimate; it had a will of its own...

'Why on earth did it choose to stay with me?'

Ji Xichan couldn't figure it out at all.

The price Ji Xichan paid for hosting such a Spiritual Object was minuscule compared to its power. All she had to do was periodically supply it with Spiritual Qi and Spiritual Objects rich in Life Essence.

However, there was a rather wicked twist: when it came to Life Force, few Spiritual Objects in the world could compare to Sword Immortal Pei's Pure Yang Essence.

So one day, on a whim, Ji Xichan offered Sword Immortal Pei's Pure Yang Essence as a tribute to the Divine Maiden Statue.

In fact, after making the offering, the young woman had looked at the silent Divine Maiden Statue with panic and regret. 'I must have been out of my mind,' she thought. 'Why would I offer such a blasphemous thing to the Divine Maiden Statue?'

Thankfully, the Divine Maiden Statue wasn't a picky eater. After confirming that the Life Qi within it far surpassed that of previous offerings, it absorbed it as usual.

From then on, it even grew quite fond of Sword Immortal Pei's Pure Yang Essence, which became its designated "imperial tribute."

As Ji Xichan was lost in her wild thoughts, she suddenly raised a hand and tapped her head. Her fingertips pressed lightly on her temples, her brow furrowed, and a look of annoyance crossed her face.

She muttered under her breath, cursing softly, "What's wrong with me? Am I really like that guy Pei Yuhang said, just completely sex-crazed?"

At the thought, her cheeks flushed slightly, as if brushed by the pale pink of a sunset.

Ji Xichan shook her head, trying to drive the chaotic thoughts from her mind.

Having just broken through to the Divinity Transformation Realm, she had yet to fully acclimate to the immense power within her. She should have been calmly attuning herself to this new strength, not standing around thinking about pointless things.

Her thoughts, however, were like a runaway horse that she couldn't rein in.

Ji Xichan's gaze, like thin ice in early spring, drifted unconsciously to the distance. Her pale pink lips curled into a cunning smile. "But speaking of which... I really haven't 'favored' Sword Immortal Pei with a visit since I went into seclusion~"

"I've almost forgotten what that Pure Yang Essence tastes like..."

The young woman pictured Pei Yuhang's handsome, ascetic face, and her heart couldn't help but beat a little faster. Her fingers unconsciously twisted the hem of her clothes, as if to hide her inner turmoil.

Just then, a familiar voice called out from the distance, shattering her reverie. "Ji Xichan! What are you spacing out for? Did the lightning strike you stupid?"

That blunt voice instantly shattered all of Ji Xichan's amorous fantasies. Her pretty face stiffened, and she felt all her excitement evaporate.

The blush on Ji Xichan's face vanished in an instant, replaced by a flash of annoyance.

She turned to look at the white-robed figure flying toward her and snapped,

"Pei Yuhang! Did you have to come pick a fight with me the very moment I finished my tribulation?!"

As Ji Xichan spoke, a sharp glint flashed in her eyes.

"Speaking of which, we're both in the same realm now~ Sword Immortal Pei, you can't suppress me with your cultivation level anymore!"

Pei Yuhang, who had flown over to see if Ji Xichan was seriously hurt, frowned when he saw the wicked smile tugging at her lips.

"What do you want?"

Ji Xichan licked the corner of her lips, her smile seductive and bewitching.

"What do I want? I want to do you!"

"Now that you don't have your realm advantage, I'm going to get my revenge for all those times you spanked me!"

The next moment, a formidable Divinity Transformation Power erupted from Ji Xichan's body, making the very air hum and tremble. She showed none of the weakness typical of someone who had just entered the Divinity Transformation Realm.

"You wicked woman... You really are an ungrateful brat!"

"Ungrateful brat? Heh heh, you'd better save your strength, Little Sword Immortal. Otherwise, when you lose, Sister Ji is going to make your eyes roll back in your head!"

Ji Xichan was laughing heartily when her expression suddenly froze. At some unknown point, Pei Yuhang's sheathed sword was already hovering before her fair neck.

It was just like after the Sect's Grand Competition, the first time Ji Xichan had challenged Pei Yuhang, which had marked the beginning of her humiliating history of being constantly spanked.

"You—"

"Want to ask how I did it? My draw is simply fast. You talk too much."

Pei Yuhang's voice was as calm as still water, his tone like a teacher lecturing a student.

For Ji Xichan, this undoubtedly only made her angrier.

'I've clearly caught up to your Cultivation...'

'I've clearly already made you mine...'

'We should be equals, so what right do you have to keep lecturing me like I'm a junior? You're not taking me seriously at all!'

"I don't accept this! Let's go again!"

Facing the enraged young woman, Pei Yuhang's expression remained nonchalant, but his words were enough to make one's ears bleed. "We can go again. But for every time you lose, I get to spank your butt with my scabbard."

"By what right?"

Ji Xichan's voice was filled with shame and anger. She felt Pei Yuhang was deliberately trying to humiliate her.

But in truth... Pei Yuhang's reason was just as shameless as Ji Xichan imagined.

"Because your attitude pisses me off. And besides, your butt feels really good to spank."

Pei Yuhang delivered this perverted remark with utter conviction. If the pure and kind Fairy Ye were present and heard her Ah Han say such a thing, she would probably faint from shock on the spot.
