Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 1377 Gouge

"Stop being stupid!" Isemeine finally said after she recovered her bearings. "1 have my own plans, do you think pile of trash would actually be able to capture me if I didn't want it to be the case?"

Ryu raised an eyebrow, looking Isemeine head to toe.

"Even if that was true, no." Ryu replied simply.

Isemeine's heart skipped a beat. "Why?"

She thought she would hear something sweet about not wanting his women to suffer, or maybe some tsundere-like words that still carried an obvious hint of affection in them. But what she actually got left her speechless.

"A concubine of mine being hung up and whipped publicly like this, isn't that too humiliating for me? What would I do if other men saw your body? Who would pay me back for my losses?" Isemeine was speechless before her face turned red then black.

"RYU TATSUYA! YOU BASTARD! GET ME DOWN FROM HERE, I SWEAR I'LL BEAT YOU BLACK AND BLUE!"

The others watching, stunned by the current circumstances, didn't even know what to say. They had been trying so hard to piss this woman off, even saying the vilest of things, but the most they got was a glare and a few insults that ended up pissing themselves off even more than what they had gotten from her. And yet this man had just said one line that completely set her off.

Also... concubine? Wasn't this man aware of the rules? How dare he say something like that out loud?!

Isemeine was a beautiful woman. After reaching the Sky God Realm and awakening to her Martial God Bloodline all the more so than she had even in the past, the result was quite a bit more shocking. Plus, her streamlined, powerful and somewhat muscular body was a novel sort of unusualness that made these geniuses, who felt that they had already tasted all the kinds of women under the sun, feel a sort of hotness that they couldn't quite put their fingers on.

The fate of such a woman after being captured could be imagined, especially when her life and death was already seen to be decided. It only made it better that she was such a strong Sky God.

However, none had dared to touch her. There were the strictest of rules around Taboo Powers and their inheritors. Anyone found to even have dual cultivated with them once would be subject to the exact same punishment as the practitioner. This was because as worried as the Nine Powers were about the inheritors, what they couldn't allow even more so than that was for the Taboo Powers to gain a line of inheritance. This was more important than anything else.

This was such an emphasized rule that it was enforced even in this situation. It had to be understood just how rare it was for Sky Gods to have children, usually it took centuries of effort, millennia, even. And yet, the Nine Powers refused to allow even the smallest chance. It was truly that serious.

It could be uttered that as a person in control of a Taboo Power, Isemeine was like a hot potato no one dared to touch at all for fear of ruining the rest of their lives. This was why the Azure Lightning Sect member, Dacyne, had said such things previously.

But now Ryu...

Toward Isemeine's outburst, Ryu only chuckled, seemingly not caring at all.

This sort of uproar had obviously already attracted a great number of people. Sects of the Seventh Heaven had all arrived one after another, but none of the Sky Gods had. It was as though the moment they saw Ryu enter, they stopped bothering to care. What was their status and what was Ryu's? Why would they lower themselves to deal with a mere Dao Pedestal Realm expert?

Soon, even those of the Fifth and Sixth Heavens appeared in the periphery, their expressions changing somewhat. How could they not recognize Ryu?

Setting aside the fact that Isemeine was a Sky God, how exactly had a Dao Pedestal Realm expert taken in a Heavenly God as a concubine? Not even an official wife? And she didn't seem to be enraged by what he called her, but rather what he said afterward?

There were only two ways to marry a Heavenly God beauty in this world. The first was to be a Sky God yourself who had either gained her favor or overpowered her... the second was to have status so far above her that it simply didn't matter.

But Isemeine... was too powerful for such a thing to happen. It took the experts of the Seventh Heaven descending to capture her, but Ryu, he...

"Him?" Jojo frowned. Wasn't this Selheira's boy toy?

Suddenly, a wild grin spread across her face as a feeling of subterfuge spread through her. Wasn't this amusing? The boy Selheira liked was flirting with other women in public, and a runaway of the True Martial World, at that? What could be more amusing than this.

"Senior sister?" The other members of the Raging Inferno Sect raised their brows. It was rare to see such an expression on their Senior Sisters face, it didn't match her personality at all.

"What so funny, Jojo?"

A handsome man with azure hair and eyes, and shoulders broad and wide, looked over from the group of Azure Lightning Sect members. He had an amiable look in his eyes, but there was also a clear light of passion. This sort of fiery, unruly and untameable woman was the kind he liked the most.

"Don't make my gouge your eyes out, Litaor"

Litaor raised his head up and laughed. "You can indeed do that if you want, 1 am not a match for you, but wouldn't that be a bit too unfair? Sister Jojo's beautiful body is always hidden beneath that dense armor, is it still a crime to observe your valiance?"

Jojo snorted. 'Glib tongued bastard.'

Still, he had a point. It would be too much to gouge out the eyes of the head disciple of such a Sect just because he took a glance at her face. "Haha! Litaor, if you tease Jojo any more, you'll be emasculated by the next morning sun."
