World-Ending Demon Emperor
Chapter 586 - 297: Ashi Liren’s love!

Chapter 586: 297: Ashi Liren’s love!

After Ashi Liren left, Suo Lun couldn’t help but stretch out his right hand to take a close look, savoring the memory.

It was this hand that had just spanked Ashi Liren’s buttocks.

At that moment, when Liren’s snowy buttocks were exposed, Suo Lun was somewhat stunned.

Therefore, he couldn’t remember what the spanking felt like at all. He even felt as if this hand wasn’t his own.

It was all because Ashi Liren was too enchanting!

She wasn’t just a fairy, but also a witch, her whole being was full of a cold yet intense allure.

It was like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit, completely clueless with the first bite, not tasting anything at all.

Even his mind was still occupied by those two round moons, white as snow.

...

In the afternoon, Suo Lun continued to teach Ashi Yuanba and Anan, and Liren never showed up.

It was as if Suo Lun’s slap had exhausted all the courage in her heart, stirred by those emotions.

She didn’t appear that day, and for the next few days, she still did not appear.

If it had been before, he would definitely have pestered her every day, shamelessly entangling himself with her.

But now, Suo Lun never sought an audience with her, not even once. Even though he knew that Ashi Liren was in the City Lord Mansion, he never went to see her.

Despite his mission being incomplete, for Ashi Liren had not yet publicly supported Princess Zhi Yan on behalf of Rouran City,

Suo Lun had also said that he wanted Ashi Liren to express her support voluntarily and willingly, and he wouldn’t force or hound her.

Moreover, in his heart, he already vaguely knew the outcome.

In the following days, Ashi Liren still never appeared before Suo Lun.

Not wanting to pressure Liren, Princess Zhi Yan had already left Rouran City early and returned to Zidu.

After waiting for four days, Liren still did not appear.

So, in the time that followed, Suo Lun was already wrapping up the lessons for Yuanba and Ashinan in a brief summary.

Because he was preparing to take his leave.

This time, he was really going to leave.

...

That morning.

The wound on Suo Lun’s buttock had healed, and he formally bid farewell to Ashi Yuanba, Ashinan, and Taosu.

Ashi Yuanba was fine, but Taosu’s eyes were completely red.

"This is a snack I made, it won’t spoil easily, take it for the road," Taosu handed a finely crafted box to Suo Lun.

"Thank you," said Suo Lun.

Although there had been a wrongful relationship between him and Taosu, neither side held any ambiguity.

Especially Taosu, because of Yuanba, she regarded Suo Lun as a very close person, but without any romantic feelings.

In this lifetime, she had first enjoyed the sweetness of love, dating Ashi Luo for several years. Then she was taken by Ashimo for several years, and finally had her dignity trampled by Ashi Luo.

Now, Ashimo was gone, and Ashi Luo was dead too.

Even though she was only in her twenties, when it came to love, she felt like she had already been through the emotional wringer.

In this life, her own son, Ashi Yuanba was all her concern and support.

Especially since her son was so adorable and so smart.

"Take good care of your mother and your matriarch, understand?" Suo Lun ruffled Yuanba’s little cheeks.

"I understand, teacher," Ashi Yuanba said, then he hesitated as if wanting to say something more.

"Do you have something else you want to tell your teacher?" Suo Lun asked.

Ashi Yuanba said, "If Qin Qin doesn’t like to talk, just... don’t force her."

"You’re so young, and already concerned about your wife?" Suo Lun joked.

Suddenly, Ashi Yuanba’s face turned red with embarrassment. Indeed, he was too young to understand anything, but in his heart, he felt that Qin Qin was very special.

In the Ashi Liren Mansion, because Qin Qin didn’t speak, Suo Lun had thought of many ways to help, but without exception, all had failed and only added to her pressure. During that time, Qin Qin was most afraid of seeing Suo Lun’s disappointed eyes.

As for why Qin Qin didn’t speak, Suo Lun had not yet asked Fu Yan’er, because Suo Lun needed a better environment to coax Qin Qin into talking.

Yuanba stared at Suo Lun with wide eyes, full of reluctance, but he did not voice any plea for him to stay.

Suo Lun patted his small head and said, "How about after some time passes, your teacher will take you to play in Tian Shui City, okay?"

Suddenly, the little boy’s eyes lit up, filled with anticipation.

"Teacher, aren’t you going to say goodbye to my mother?" Ashi Yuanba said.

Suo Lun replied, "No need, no need for farewells this time."

Suddenly, beside him Ashinan said, "Teacher, my mother is a girl, so she can’t make the first move, it has to be you men who take the initiative to find her."

Suo Lun squatted down, pinched her little face and said, "How do you know so much at such a young age?"

Ashinan replied, "Anyway, I just know."

She didn’t have the same attachment to Suo Lun as Yuanba because she wasn’t as clever as him and didn’t have the same curiosity about the world.

So, she felt that Suo Lun’s lessons were just more interesting, but not irreplaceable.

But in Yuanba’s heart, Suo Lun was an irreplaceable spiritual mentor.

People really do need fate to come together. Meeting a child so intelligent and likeable as Ashi Yuanba was a first for Suo Lun.

Just as meeting a unique and adorable girl like Qin Qin was a first for Ashi Yuanba.

"Goodbye..." Suo Lun mounted his horse and galloped away frantically.

Soon, the elite operatives of the Shadow Cabinet converged from all directions, heading towards Suo Lun.

In the end, about a dozen experts had surrounded Suo Lun in the middle, charging towards the east.

...

Half an hour later, Suo Lun had left the main city of Rouran.

Ashi Liren was nowhere to be seen.

Three days later, Suo Lun left Rou Ran Province, and Ashi Liren still had not appeared.

Five days later, Suo Lun led the elite operatives of the Shadow Cabinet into the royal city, Zhi Du!

"Son-in-law, Princess Zhi Yan is waiting for you," a female Samurai greeted him as soon as he entered the royal city.

It seemed she had been waiting at the city gate all these days.

...

"My respects to you, son-in-law!"

As Suo Lun entered the Princess’s Mansion, all the eunuchs and maidservants knelt down to greet him along the way.

He couldn’t help but rub his nose, for he was already regarded as the master in the Princess’s Mansion.

"Princess Zhi Yan asks you to come to Ning Courtyard!" a female Samurai said.

Suo Lun was startled. The Princess’s Mansion was formerly the Earl of Tian Shui’s residence in the royal city, belonging to the Suo family, and the so-called Ning Courtyard was the yard where Suo Ningbing lived.

To honor her fiancé’s sister, Princess Zhi Yan had kept the courtyard vacant, planning for it to be Suo Ningbing’s once Suo Lun moved in.

Ever since Princess Zhi Yan inadvertently discovered the private affair between Suo Lun and Suo Ningbing, she had become even more determined to do so.

It had to be said, she was quite open-minded to plan on letting her husband maintain such an illicit relationship with his sister even after their marriage.

Suo Lun arrived at Ning Courtyard and pushed the door open to enter.

Immediately, he saw a figure standing in the yard, a breathtakingly beautiful silhouette, with a devilish figure and a fairy-like grace.

Blue enchantress, cool and ethereal fragrance!

Ashi Liren?

She was here?

"I arrived half a moment before you," Ashi Liren said.

"How come you’re here?" Suo Lun asked in surprise.

Ashi Liren shook her head and said, "If you don’t come to me proactively, instead leaving without saying goodbye, I can only swallow my pride and come to you."

Suo Lun said, "I just didn’t want to pressure you."

Before he could finish speaking, his lips felt cold, touched lightly by Liren’s finger, smooth and fragrant.

"Don’t speak..." Ashi Liren said.

Then, staring into Suo Lun’s eyes, she said, "You are so hypocritical!"

Suo Lun remained silent.

Ashi Liren continued, "You went to Rou Ran City to exterminate Ashi Luo and elevate me to power, all to make me loyal to Zhi Yan. When I was angry with you, you shamelessly flirted with and teased me, all to make me loyal to Zhi Yan. When Rou Ran City faced utter devastation, you alone turned the tide and saved Rou Ran. Ultimately, it was also to make me loyal to Zhi Yan. And yet, knowing full well that I had no choice but to obey, you left without a word—how hypocritical!"

He wanted to say that saving Rou Ran City was more for their protection and that of Ashi Yuanba, but ultimately he did not speak.

"You enticed me with your beauty trap, seduced me with your shameless tactics, attracted me with your cleverness and wisdom," Ashi Liren said. "In the end, you even shamelessly exploited my strong personality to spank me, completely breaching my last line of defense, conquering me, wasn’t it all to make me loyal to Zhi Yan, to stand with you? After you succeeded, however, you became reserved, forcing me to abandon my dignity."

Ashi Liren’s directness left Suo Lun unable to respond.

Ashi Liren continued, "You said that Fu Yan’er’s shameless fawning and pestering you, completely without dignity, only annoyed you terribly. Yet you behaved the same way, shamelessly clinging to and pleasing me, allowing me to beat and scold you, similarly without dignity. You said, how are you any different from Fu Yan’er? It’s just the pot calling the kettle black, equally pitiful."

Ashi Liren tiptoed gently, placing her delicate nose in front of a pear blossom, lightly inhaling its scent.

"Devious, shameless..." Ashi Liren remarked. "You know very well that people are not all the same. A foolish and hollow person who clings on shamelessly would only be despised. But a clever and cunning person with profound wisdom, even when they cling shamelessly, becomes irresistible..."

Then, Liren approached Suo Lun, looking him in the eyes and said, "Suo Lun, you are truly shameless; you are a bad person."

Suo Lun had no words to answer.

"Suo Lun, you got your way," Ashi Liren said. "You’ve tantalized me to the point of sleepless nights and restless tossing and turning. You’ve hooked me, knowing full well that you harbor ulterior motives, sinister and cunning, yet I still find myself moved. Once, I married Yan Ping, but I utterly rejected any intimacy or contact with him. Any touch would cause my body to bristle with cold, my whole body freezing over. I thought it was a problem with my body, impossible to change in this lifetime."

Faced with such sharp words from Liren, Suo Lun now had no face to speak.

Ashi Liren said, "You are right; most love in this world starts from the desire for procreation. I’m not so transcendent and free from worldly desires; it is Zhi Yan and Ji Xiuning who are such transcendent individuals."

Suo Lun remained silent, precisely because this was the case. Despite Zhi Yan’s beauty being equal to Ashi Liren’s among this world’s elite,

Liren was much more seductive by comparison.

"Suo Lun, everything you’ve done for me, it was all to make me loyal to Zhi Yan, right?" Ashi Liren asked.

Suo Lun did not answer; he didn’t even want to confirm it.

Ashi Liren said, "Let me tell you then, I’m not going to be loyal to Zhi Yan, but to you!"

Suo Lun’s body trembled unconsciously.

Ashi Liren said, "Shameless Suo Lun, you’ve successfully conquered another woman, so how do you plan to deal with me now?"

Her exquisitely beautiful face was filled with irony and frostiness.

But in her eyes looking at Suo Lun, there was also a wealth of affection.
