Chapter 553: Chapter 141: Subdue, Control!

Inside the room.

Xiao Emei hugged her body.

"Commander Jiang, could you possibly show mercy?"

Xiao Emei bit her lip, showing a pleading tone.

Jiang Ning heard this but made no response, simply gazing quietly at Xiao Emei in front of him.

Having just briefly clashed, he had witnessed the power of Xiao Emei, the third-ranked on the Human List.

She wasn’t as strong as he had imagined.

She was utterly overwhelmed by his physique and strength.

In terms of Inner Breath too, Xiao Emei was not his equal.

Although Xiao Emei had reached the level of Inner Breath as vast as the sea, with the prowess of thirty years,

her total amount clearly fell short of his.

Even in the burst efficiency of Inner Breath, she couldn’t match him.

If Xiao Emei’s Inner Breath burst efficiency was one, his was more than two.

The gap between them was more than double.

For this reason, when his Inner Breath surged into Xiao Emei’s body, it overwhelmed and shattered her meridians, temporarily preventing her from utilizing her Inner Breath.

The disparity in their physical bodies was even greater, and Jiang Ning knew it partly had to do with his bear and tiger-like physique.

This innate difference meant that even if Xiao Emei was not weaker than him in Martial Arts Realm, there was a vast difference in physical strength.

Not to mention, his foundations were much more solid than Xiao Emei’s.

Meanwhile,

Xiao Emei, feeling the oppressive gaze of Jiang Ning, couldn’t help but become nervous.

Her partially exposed body gave her no sense of security.

She was well aware of her allure to robust men.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have had followers as numerous as a long dragon.

At this moment, considering all the possibilities, she felt anxious and uneasy.

"Commander Jiang, I concede! To kill or to carve up as Commander Jiang pleases."

Jiang Ning looked at Xiao Emei and then slowly shook his head, "I will not kill you."

Hearing these words, a glint of joy flashed through Xiao Emei’s eyes.

Even insects cling to life, and few desire death when they are able to live—especially someone with such a vibrant life as hers. She didn’t want to die.

"Since Commander Jiang does not wish to kill me, what do you plan to do with me?" Xiao Emei asked.

Jiang Ning said, "I want you to obey me, to timely convey any news about me from the Water Moon Sword Palace."

"No problem!" Xiao Emei nodded without hesitation.

"But I do not trust you!" Jiang Ning suddenly spoke.

"How could Commander Jiang trust me?"

"It’s simple!" Jiang Ning slowly stood up, looking down at Xiao Emei, "Swallow my blood."

"Blood?" Xiao Emei looked at Jiang Ning in surprise.

The next moment,

she saw a long sword appear in Jiang Ning’s hand, glowing with a cold light.

The blade slid over Jiang Ning’s palm, and immediately, bright red blood flowed out.

"Open your mouth!" Jiang Ning commanded, his voice brooking no doubt.

At that moment, an idea surfaced in his mind—to use Xiao Emei as an experiment.

To assess how well he could control the Divine Descendants.

If the control was strong enough, he wouldn’t have to worry thereafter.

And with Xiao Emei under his control, it would assist him in monitoring every move of Xiao Qiushui, the Palace Master of the Water Moon Sword Palace.

Reputed as the strongest under the grandmasters of Dongling County, extreme caution was never unwarranted.

Meanwhile,

hearing Jiang Ning’s command, Xiao Emei, though full of confusion, had no choice but to comply in her situation.

Then, she opened her mouth.

Controlled by Jiang Ning, the blood dripped from his hand like beads of water hanging from an eave.

Drop by drop, the blood fell into Xiao Emei’s mouth.

In a blink,

over twenty drops of blood had entered Xiao Emei’s mouth.

Only then did Jiang Ning release control over his palm wound.

The wound healed in a flash.

At that moment, Xiao Emei suddenly felt her Qi-Blood surge upwards, warming her entire body.

Her expression drastically changed, "Does your blood contain an aphrodisiac?!"

"Endure it!" Jiang Ning spoke indifferently, "Soon you will know what effect it has!"

Leaving these words behind,

Jiang Ning turned and left.

He came to a nearby table, where he lit a candle.

Then he picked up a book and started to read.

[Literacy and Judgement Experience +1]

[Literacy and Judgement Experience +1]

[Literacy and Judgement Experience +1]

[...]

As time passed, his Literacy and Judgement skill Experience Value continued to increase.

Compared to his initial attempts, his reading speed had greatly increased, and the efficiency of earning experience value had improved a lot.

Meanwhile, Xiao Emei did indeed clench her teeth, not daring to make the slightest sound.

With her Qi-Blood churning and body temperature rising, her desires were inevitably stirred a little.

She could only do her best to control her own mouth, ensuring she made no sound.

Time silently slipped by.

In a blink,

several hours had passed.

Xiao Emei’s clenched teeth slowly relaxed.

She felt the violent surging of Qi-Blood inside her gradually calm down, and her body temperature returned to normal.

At the same time,

her mind was stirred with turmoil.

As Jiang Ning’s blood mixed into her body and got absorbed, she noticed a certain transformation happening to her body.

Her flesh, tendons, and bones strengthened, her Qi-Blood fortified, and her strength enhanced.

This intense improvement and transformation were changes she had never experienced before.

As a woman, even though her Martial Arts Realm was comparable to other male Martial Artists, her physical body was naturally weaker.

An inescapable reality.

And that’s why, among the world’s martial artists, women constituted only thirty percent, with the remaining seventy percent being men.

Now, however, she could feel that after hours of violent transformation within her body, her total Qi-Blood had increased by a substantial twenty to thirty percent.

Her strength had also significantly enhanced compared to before.
