Chapter 442: Chapter 426: Role Reversal (1/3)

Falling alongside her was Zhou Heng, both of whom had been afflicted by the Black Snow Powder.

This was the reward Zhou Heng received from the Nine Mystic Trial Tower after breaking through to the Divine Infant Realm. Even a Heavenly Venerate of the Divinity Transformation Realm could fall victim to it, losing all spiritual power in a short time and becoming mere mortals with only their physical defenses left.

Martial Artists soaring in the sky require the support of spiritual power, and without it, they naturally sink like iron bulls in the sea, plummeting to the depths below.

Bang! Bang!

One after another, two loud crashes sounded as Zhou Heng and the Moon Shadow Saintess almost simultaneously fell to the ground. The mighty impact surged through and the ground rumbled tremendously, instantly forming two massive craters.

Zhou Heng let out a roar and leaped out from the crater. His brutal strength had long surpassed his spiritual power. Losing his spiritual power only meant that he could not fly, could not perform the Swift Cloud Radiant Step, the Sky-soaring Nine Forms, not fundamentally weakening his defense or attack power.

He landed on the edge of the crater like a war god taking flight, his body agleam with golden light, and his essence, qi, and spirit appeared to have made significant progress.

Arriving at the edge of the deep pit where the Moon Shadow Saintess had fallen, Zhou Heng leisurely sat down, quietly waiting.

It wasn’t until half a day’s time had passed that a head of beautiful hair emerged from the deep pit, followed by a face fair and delicate as a flower carved from jade, white and pure, like a jade lotus blooming in a snowy landscape, noble and aloof.

It was indeed the Moon Shadow Saintess.

She had lost all her spiritual power as a Divinity Transformation Realm Heavenly Venerate. Although her physical strength was far superior to that of ordinary people, it was at most on the level of the Gathering Spirit, the Initial Separation. How could it be easy for her to climb out from the pit that ensnared her body?

Fortunately, the physical toughness of a Heavenly Venerate from the Divinity Transformation Realm was comparable to a Magic Artifact of the Nascent Soul Realm; otherwise, this fall would truly have shattered her to pieces.

The pitiful Moon Shadow Saintess had just poked her head out when the first thing she saw was a large hand reaching for her neck, giving her no chance to resist. She was pulled out of the pit in one swift movement.

"What vile methods have you used on me?" the Moon Shadow Saintess said in utter fright.

"Nothing much, just temporarily sealed your spiritual power. Don’t worry, it won’t last long," Zhou Heng said with a smile, but inside, he muttered to himself, because he himself did not know how long the effects of the Black Snow Powder would last.

When he received it, the message conveyed mentioned only that it would last a "brief" period, but exactly how long was uncertain to him.

The Moon Shadow Saintess turned deathly pale. This "temporary" if not a second or two, was enough for Zhou Heng to inflict irreparable harm on her, such as the previously mentioned act of pulling down her pants and spanking her bottom, or even more horrifying actions!

And she knew when she attempted to summon the spiritual power within her body, it was eerily empty, not sensing even the slightest bit, indicating this "temporary" would be far from brief!

Zhou Heng tossed her aside and crouched down himself, like a curious child watching ants on the ground, his gaze roving with interest over the Moon Shadow Saintess’s well-proportioned figure.

The unease in the Moon Shadow Saintess’s heart grew more intense. She felt Zhou Heng’s gaze as if it had hands, touching wherever it looked, making her whole body surge with an indescribable restlessness, unbearably uncomfortable.

Zhou Heng laughed heartily and said, "Right, what did I say before? You should not be so aggressive, otherwise I will spank your bottom!"

"You wouldn’t dare!" the Moon Shadow Saintess said, both ashamed and angry.

"What wouldn’t I dare?" Zhou Heng was already furious, and seeing her still talking back at this point only fueled his rage. He yanked her over in one swift motion and pinned her across his knee, starting to spank her with loud smacks.

The Moon Shadow Saintess struggled mightily, but how could her strength compare to Zhou Heng’s? A Heavenly Venerate with spiritual power only possessed the physical defense of the Nascent Soul Realm, and her sheer muscle power was utterly negligible!

Besides, even if she had the physical strength of the Nascent Soul Realm, how could she combat Zhou Heng at the rank of a Heavenly Venerate?

The situation had completely turned around!

"Ah—" the Moon Shadow Saintess screamed, not because of pain—though pain played a part, as Zhou Heng struck fiercely without a shred of mercy or tenderness, the force of his blows undeniable.

More than anything, it was from shame and an indescribable sense of defeat.

When she was in the Divine Infant Realm, she had been cuddled and embraced by Zhou Heng, who was then in the Nascent Soul Realm. Although it was because she had overexerted herself and not reached her perfect state, nearly being overpowered by Zhou Heng was a fact.

And now, having advanced to the rank of Heavenly Venerate, she should have been one of the most powerful beings in the world, yet she was still subdued by Zhou Heng. This time was even worse, completely at his mercy.

To lose twice to an opponent of lesser strength, how could the Moon Shadow Saintess not be disheartened?

Smack! Smack! Smack!

"Spiteful woman, what deep grudge do you have against me to specifically come looking for trouble?" Zhou Heng reprimanded her while continuing to spank. He was indeed immensely displeased.

The Moon Shadow Saintess thought to herself, how can you not mention the huge advantage you’ve taken of me? Is this something a girl can easily forget? Moreover, she never intended to take Zhou Heng’s life—why is he acting so aggrieved? She’s the one who should feel wronged!

Zhou Heng’s gaze swept over her and caught every expression on her face, fueling his anger even more. His moves became quicker as he said, "You’re still not convinced? You think you’re in the right? When have I ever troubled you first? Yet you persist in making things difficult for me, and now you’ve fallen into my hands. Are you not being self-degrading?"

Self-degrading?

The Moon Shadow Saintess almost fainted from rage. She was self-degrading? But thinking about the outcome, indeed, her first clash with Zhou Heng ended with him holding her closely, touching and hugging, and yet she had still managed to escape clothed.

But this second time was a disaster, like a lamb awaiting slaughter, her life entirely at the mercy of Zhou Heng’s whim.

No one is unafraid of death, especially a prodigy like the Moon Shadow Saintess, who had just achieved the rank of Heavenly Venerate, full of high spirits, loath to die. Yet, if Zhou Heng intended to subject her to something disgusting, she’d rather die!

"I never planned to kill you. Although the Great Eternal Emperor wronged my master, my master still ordered me to treat the Great Eternal lineage well!" she pleaded on her own behalf. If it had been anyone else treating her in such a manner, she would have erased their life without hesitation, not merely sought to beat them severely.

Zhou Heng sneered and said, "So you say, should I be grateful for your ’kind’ treatment?" His voice suddenly raised in anger, "This is how you treat someone kindly? By provoking them at their doorstep? Alright, I’ll return the favor, and make you feel right at home!"

He raised his hand and began slapping the Moon Shadow Saintess, one blow after another as if she were not a breathtakingly beautiful woman, but a mischievous child in dire need of discipline.

The Moon Shadow Saintess couldn’t take it. She had always been pure and untouched, never before had a man been so close to her. Each slap brought her intense shame and fury, her face already flushed with blood, and yet it only added an irresistible allure to her cold and stunning beauty.

"Zhou Heng, stop it!" she screamed, flames seemingly bursting from her eyes.

"Now you want to call the shots? On what basis?" Zhou Heng laughed heartily, continuing to slap her without a shred of mercy.

His hand was equivalent to a Divinity Transformation Realm magic artifact, while the Moon Shadow Saintess, despite her delicate skin, was as resilient as a Nascent Soul Realm magic artifact. Their "encounters" were relentless, with only their clothing suffering the consequences.

After over a hundred slaps, the white dress showed significant signs of tattering, with undergarments faintly visible underneath.

The Moon Shadow Saintess was horrified and struggled fiercely, knowing all too well the catastrophic beauty she possessed. If Zhou Heng caught sight of her enticing curves, he would surely lose control and have his way with her!

Losing her chastity would be a terrifying fate!

"You beast, stop it! Let go!" she shrieked.

"Stupid woman, you really don’t understand men at all. Speaking like that only stimulates their inner beast further!" Zhou Heng sneered, "In these mountains and wilds, not even a ghost shadow is in sight—who do you expect to come to your rescue? Or do you hope I’ll have a sudden change of heart and release you? You’ve already called me a beast, why would I want to act the gentleman?"

The Moon Shadow Saintess trembled all over, truly afraid.

If Zhou Heng were to force himself on her, only the arrival of another Heavenly Venerate could stop him. But from the ancient era of thriving martial paths to the present, Heavenly Venerates were exceedingly rare. There were only four in the world.

Apart from her, one was in the Heavenly Demon Dynasty, one with the Sea Clan, and another kept their identity a mystery. How could one just happen to show up here?

Was she doomed to a terrible fate?

Her master had a complicated history with the Great Eternal Emperor, and now was she, too, fated to entangle with the successor of the Great Eternal Emperor? Was it inevitable for her line in East Spirit to be overcome by the Great Eternal lineage?

The word "destiny" felt so elusive, yet seemed like a decree from the Heavenly Dao, impossible to defy!

The Moon Shadow Saintess suddenly felt resigned. If it was truly predestined, how could she resist? Then again, if she really had to marry, Zhou Heng was not a bad option. He hadn’t fully stepped into the Divinity Transformation Realm yet could already fully contend with it, guaranteeing that his future would far surpass the Great Eternal Emperor!

The only thing she excelled over Zhou Heng was some additional years of cultivation. Compared to his monstrous talent, she felt as ordinary as an ugly duckling!

As she thought of her humility, a glow of embarrassment appeared on her face, radiating captivating charm.

Zhou Heng, however, was taken aback. As a supreme expert, he was acutely aware of the slightest changes in his surroundings, and the sudden warmth of the Moon Shadow Saintess’s body clearly indicated she was stirred!

Did this woman grow abnormal after sleeping for tens of thousands of years? Being spanked aroused her feelings?

Zhou Heng felt disgusted, almost kicking her away with a single blow. Despite the woman’s stunning beauty, after seeing Huo Tian’s unparalleled allure, who wouldn’t become exceedingly selective?

"Lustful Thief, stop!" Just then, a voice called out, and a group of people quickly flew over from a distance, each moving with strength and agility, clearly not weak.

"Nosy people!" Zhou Heng sighed, his eyes suddenly flashing with annoyance. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
