Chapter 655: Chapter 655: The Priestess’s Charms (31)

“Family Head, something terrible has happened.”

A Ye Family disciple hurried into the hall.

“What’s got you in such a panic?” Ye Shuliang put down his teacup, staring dissatisfied at the Ye Family disciple, “Did you spread the message we asked you to?”

“Family Head,” the Ye Family disciple swallowed nervously, “There’s been an incident.”

“You can’t even handle a small matter like that?”

“It’s not that… It’s… the Ding Family… something has happened to the Ding Family!” said the Ye Family disciple, “The Ding Family has been exterminated.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Shuliang only furrowed his brows, “Why are you panicked about the Ding Family being exterminated?”

“…Because… because someone found, found our Ye Family’s insignia at the Ding Family home, and now… now people from the royal family and the Magic Association are on their way here.” The disciple’s back was soaked with sweat.

Ye Shuliang’s expression changed drastically, and he stood up abruptly.

The teacup by his hand was brushed to the floor, shattering with a ‘bang’.

–

The Ding Family had been killed by a Dark Series Magician, their bodies left with traces of the Dark Element.

Even with the Ye Family insignia present, it wouldn’t be hard for the Ye Family to dissociate themselves from this affair, this was actually a rather easy situation to clear up.

But…

The royal family and the Magic Association found a magic wand in the Ye residence.

It was covered entirely in the Dark Element, and the members of the Ding Family had died by this very wand.

The evidence was found right before everyone’s eyes, and the Ye Family was embroiled in public controversy within hours.

Exterminating a whole family in Penghua City.

And using a magic wand of unknown origin that wielded the Dark Series Magic.

Wasn’t this a provocation?

Ye Shuliang was taken away, and Ye Kaiying, an impulsive youngster who knew nothing but recklessness, was in no position to shoulder the entire Ye Family.

“The Ye Family is absolutely ruthless, not sparing a single person in the Ding Family.”

“That’s nothing, I heard that the Ye Family had exterminated a whole city before.”

“What?”

The surrounding people immediately crowded around, pricking up their ears to listen.

“That’s Maoling City, the Ye Family did that too, when it comes to a whole city’s people, they don’t hesitate, let alone a single Ding Family.”

“Eh… Wasn’t that previously said to be the work of a Dark Series Magician?”

“What Dark Series Magician, I think it’s the Ye Family’s own doing, releasing that news to mislead everyone.”

The massacre in Maoling City was brought up again.

Ye Shuliang, confined within the Magic Association, heard the news, his face darkening as if ink would drip out.

The Ding Family matter had nothing to do with him…

Who was framing him behind the scenes?

Where did that magic wand come from?

Some thoughts flashed through Ye Shuliang’s mind, but upon closer consideration, he found them unlikely.

How could she have that kind of ability?

–

Qingfeng Hall.

“Miss Chuzheng, where have you been?”

Jiu Qu saw Chuzheng coming out of the Magic Array and hurried over, with Yi Cun following behind, barking at Chuzheng twice in concern.

“Just out for some fresh air.”

“The master has been going crazy looking for you,” Jiu Qu said, “Why did you leave without saying anything?”

Chuzheng: “…”

I’m not a prisoner, do I need to report my every move?

Lingji couldn’t find Chuzheng and thought she had been taken away by the Elder, it took quite an effort for Jiu Qu to calm him down and inquire with the Elder.

The Elder was now focused on the Ye Family’s crisis and had no time to be concerned about Chuzheng.

Just as Chuzheng stepped into the hall, the figure of Lingji appeared before her.

Chuzheng was startled by Lingji, who was emanating the Dark Element, and almost threw a punch.

Lingji stepped forward and hugged her tightly, making it hard for her to breathe.

It was just a short outing.

You don’t have to strangle me!

Chuzheng’s body sank as the young and handsome Priest Lord pressed her against the door, the male hormone enveloping her.

A kiss carrying a hint of coolness descended.

The ferocious kisses on her lips, biting and nibbling, seemed as if he was going to tear her apart and devour her.

With some difficulty, Chuzheng reached out to close the door.

The next moment her body lifted into the air.

Chuzheng was placed on the bed, Lingji looming over her, the previously cold lips had warmed, kissing her, entangling her in mutual indulgence.

It was still a kiss filled with punishment.

The mark between the man’s brows was a bright red, setting off his entire persona with an unrivaled demonic charm, his stunning face was etched with cruelty.

Their clothes were halfway stripped off without their noticing, tightly entwined together.

The man breathed softly, propping himself up, pressing against her with burning intensity as he slowly spoke, “Where did you go?”

Chuzheng frowned slightly, instinctively pulling him down, but Lingji remained unmoved.

“What are you doing?”

“Answer my question,” Lingji leaned in a bit closer, lips curving slightly, he whispered softly, “Otherwise, Baby will just have to endure the discomfort.”

Chuzheng “…”

My pants are already off, and you’re talking to me about this?!

Are you sick?!

Who is suffering more here!

Lingji deliberately rubbed against her, the motion was slow and light, like a feather brushing over Chuzheng’s heartstrings, elusive no matter how much she wanted to catch it.

“Lingji, I gave you a chance, you didn’t take it.”

No sooner had Chuzheng’s words fallen than their positions suddenly switched.

Lingji was about to speak when the expression on his face suddenly changed.

The Red Lotus Mark on his forehead faded significantly, and the Dark Element also retracted into his body.

He clutched Chuzheng, anxiously asking, “Does it hurt?”

Chuzheng: “???”

Chuzheng pressed him down and leaned over to kiss his lips.

–

The serene moonlight leaped through the window, falling to the floor, spreading a carpet of silver.

The bed curtains fluttered in the wind, the overlapping shadows of the two were faintly discernible.

Chuzheng, on top of Lingji, was covered by a blanket that only revealed the women’s perfect shoulder line.

Lingji looked up at the ceiling as Chuzheng’s fingertips touched the corners of his eyes, and neither spoke.

Chuzheng kissed his Adam’s apple, following his jaw to meet his lips.

Lingji closed his eyes, but Chuzheng kissed him only briefly before pulling away.

He felt a lightness on his body as the air rushed in, Chuzheng lay down beside him.

Lingji lay there like a well-behaved child, his lips moving several times before he managed to ask, “Does it hurt?”

“It doesn’t hurt.”

It was a bit painful at the beginning, but it got much better afterward.

And that little bit of pain was nothing.

Not worth mentioning at all, okay?

“I know why Ye Shuliang wanted to slaughter Maoling City,” Lingji blurted out unexpectedly.

Chuzheng turned to look at him, reaching out to pull him into her arms, “Why?”

Lingji wasn’t accustomed to this position, but Chuzheng didn’t allow him to resist, and thinking of something, his face blushed deep red all the way to his ears.

“You’ve heard about the incident a hundred years ago, right?”

Chuzheng nodded, and remembering he couldn’t see, she softly hummed in affirmation.

Lingji continued, “I did some checking, and back then, the Dark Moon Organization’s base was in Maoling City, though at that time it was just a small village.”

The Dark Moon was the name of the Dark Series Magician Organization back then.

“What does that have to do with Ye Shuliang slaughtering the city?” Could it be that he found out the city was full of Dark Magicians and wanted to eliminate them for the people’s sake? Ye Shuliang wasn’t that righteous, was he!

Moreover, according to the memories of the original host, most of the people in that city were ordinary; among the magicians, there were no Dark Magicians.
