Fang Xian, noticing the increasingly intense gazes around him, grinned mischievously and leaned close to Ao Run's ear, his voice teasing.
"What, Auntie, are you planning to do it here?"
Ao Run, her thoughts exposed, was instantly both embarrassed and angry, and abruptly pushed him away.
"What nonsense are you talking about! How could I!"
"Hehe, it seems Auntie has this kind of fetish."
"You're talking nonsense! I didn't!"
Ao Run hurriedly tried to explain, but the blush on her cheeks betrayed her.
Just as Fang Xian was about to continue teasing Ao Run, a tall figure walked in from outside the hall.
He had white hair tied back, a handsome and cold face, and his armor gleamed coldly; it was Ao Run's brother, the Dragon King of the East Sea
—Ao Guang.
He glanced at the two entangled figures, his brows furrowing instantly, his tone full of displeasure.
"What are you doing here? What kind of behavior is this!"
"And you too!"
He raised his eyes and surveyed the surroundings, unleashing a fierce aura.
Before he finished speaking, the onlookers, who had been watching, scattered in terror, some even frantically pulling up their pants as they ran, fearing the wrath of others.
Ao Run saw Ao Guang and instinctively felt fear, but immediately grabbed Fang Xian's arm, forcing a charming smile.
"Big brother, this is your brother-in-law, Ao Zha."
Ao Guang glanced at Fang Xian and merely snorted coldly.
"Hmph, I've never heard of such a 'brother-in-law'."
Seeing that he was unmoved, Ao Run simply hugged Fang Xian tighter, deliberately rubbing her chest against his arm, and even leaned in to kiss Fang Xian's cheek, her own face burning red.
"A-Zha, quickly call him Big Brother."
Fang Xian saw through her little trick, but deliberately played along, placing a hand directly on her chest and smiling at Ao Guang.
"Oh? So this is my wife's brother."
As he spoke, he even kissed Ao Run back, his hand still on her chest.
Ao Guang was instantly enraged, his dragon aura radiating fiercely, even causing the surrounding seawater to ripple.
"Ao Run, this is the Dragon Palace! What kind of posture is this! How dare you!"
"We're lovers, of course we're doing what lovers do."
Ao Run deliberately raised his chin, his tone provocative.
"Insolence!"
Ao Guang roared, pointing at Fang Xian angrily.
"If you dare to be insolent again, I'll kill you!"
Fang Xian raised an eyebrow, his tone relaxed.
"You're going to kill me?"
Just as the two were about to clash, Ao Run hurriedly spoke.
"Brother, let's make a deal."
"You have the right to negotiate with me?"
"Brother, you're so heartless."
Ao Run deliberately softened her tone, a hint of grievance in her voice.
"You won't even help your little sister with this small request?"
Ao Guang stared coldly at Ao Run, his tone carrying an undeniable authority.
"You have no right to negotiate with me. Go back to your cell!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and unleashed a massive surge of dragon power, heading straight for Ao Run.
But Fang Xian simply waved his hand casually, and the power, enough to injure a dragon, vanished instantly.
Ao Guang frowned, staring at Fang Xian and said in a deep voice:
"Boy, you do have some skill, but daring to run wild in the Dragon Palace, you're courting death!"
Fang Xian, however, paid no heed. Instead, he pulled Ao Run closer, deliberately kneading her body lightly, and said to Ao Guang with a smile,
"Big brother, look, your little sister says this will excite her even more."
"Let go! You bastard!"
Ao Run's face instantly turned bright red, both ashamed and anxious. She desperately tried to push him away, but Fang Xian held her hands firmly against her chest.
"Auntie, don't move. I'm not using any force."
Fang Xian deliberately lowered his voice and whispered in Ao Run's ear, then turned to look at Ao Guang.
"Look, your sister is already incredibly 'excited,' are you going to hit her?"
Ao Run couldn't believe Fang Xian would be so bold. Even with the Dragon King of the East Sea present, he dared to be so presumptuous! She was both angry and anxious, but couldn't break free at all.
Seeing this, Ao Guang was completely enraged. He suddenly drew his Dragon-Slaying Blade from his waist, a cold light slashing towards the two of them.
"You fool!"
But before the blade even reached him, Fang Xian simply blew a breath.
An invisible wind swept by, and Ao Guang didn't even have time to scream before his body instantly turned to ashes, leaving only a token clattering to the ground.
"This...how is this possible?"
Ao Run stared wide-eyed at the token on the ground, completely frozen.
Her powerful brother had actually been reduced to ashes by Fang Xian's breath?
This power was terrifying enough to send chills down her spine.
Fang Xian flicked his finger, and the token flew automatically into his hand.
He examined it closely, asking curiously.
"What is this?"
Ao Run hadn't recovered from the shock of Ao Guang's instant death until Fang Xian's hand tightened inadvertently, causing her to groan softly in pain, finally regaining her senses.
At this moment, she fully understood that Fang Xian's strength far exceeded her imagination. Even the Dragon King of the East Sea was no match for him, and she herself had no chance of resistance whatsoever.
"This is... the Heavenly Court's Ascension Token."
Ao Run composed herself and explained, looking at the token.
"With this, you can participate in the Heavenly Court's Ascension Examination. If you pass, you can join the Heavenly Court."
"Oh? An Ascension Token?"
Fang Xian raised an eyebrow, finding it interesting. He casually put the token into his robes, then bent down and swept Ao Run into his arms.
Ao Run instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, asking in surprise,
"You... what are you doing?"
"What am I doing?"
Fang Xian looked down at her with a mischievous smile, his tone teasing.
"Didn't Auntie just say? Of course, it's doing what lovers love to do."
Ao Run instantly recalled their previous conversation, her face flushing red to her ears. Just as she was about to retort, Fang Xian moved, and the two vanished from their spot, reappearing in the same room a second later.
Fang Xian gently placed Ao Run on the bed, leaning down to look at her with a mischievous smile.
"Take it all off."
Ao Run was tense, both ashamed and afraid. The soreness from before hadn't completely subsided, but thinking of Fang Xian's strength, she dared not resist. She could only bite her lip and slowly remove her clothes one by one, her fingertips trembling slightly.
Fang Xian smiled with satisfaction at her obedient appearance, reaching out to pinch her chin.
"Now, what should you call me?"
Ao Run nervously looked up at him, hesitated for a moment, and finally whispered.
"Husband."
"Hmm, so good."
Fang Xian gently massaged her waist with satisfaction, then leaned down to kiss her lips, his other hand lightly drawing the bed curtains closed.
The light and shadow outside were blocked by the curtains, leaving only the increasingly ambiguous atmosphere inside the tent.
Soon, Ao Run's soft moans and rhythmic sounds could be heard.
