Chapter 917: What in the World of Stockholm Syndrome Bul-?
"Young Dragon Lord, urgent report!"
Just as Long Hao and Long Kun were glaring coldly at the Extreme Yin Star, charging ahead without even stopping for incoming messages, a voice filled with sobs from the Dragon Devil Clan chased after them from behind.
"What is it?!"
Long Hao spun around abruptly, furious beyond measure. His golden eyes blazed like fire, his body covered in dragon scales, exuding an innate aura of wrath and unparalleled dominance.
The red-haired Long Kun also turned his head, his gaze equally chilling.
The Dragon Devil Clan member who came to report prostrated himself, his face twitching, forehead sweating, and his teeth chattering.
He mustered all his strength and finally wailed, "Something terrible has happened!"
Long Hao had eyes only for the Extreme Yin Star; he couldn't tolerate such suspense. He growled, "Spit it out if you have something to say!"
"Young Dragon Lord... you've been... betrayed!" the Dragon Devil Clan member blurted out, not knowing how else to put it.
"What do you mean?" Long Kun stepped forward, grabbed the man's collar, and lifted him up, his eyes wide.Long Hao frowned deeply, also at a loss for words.
He had already said not to mention anything about Shen Nanyin, so why was this person still so tactless?
Under the oppressive aura of the two Young Dragon Lords, the young Dragon Devil couldn't hold on any longer. Trembling, he said, "That Yun Xiao is not a celestial slave! He's revealed his true power! The Young Dragon Consort is in danger..."
"What?!"
At that moment, not only the two Young Dragon Lords exclaimed, but also the approximately 800 Alliance Army troops who continued to follow them.
Yun Xiao was so formidable; their only psychological advantage had been their own physical prowess.
Now, even their sole sense of superiority had vanished?
"Impossible!" Long Hao staggered back three steps as if struck by lightning.
"He came from the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm; how could there be a normal man there?" Long Kun's face also changed drastically.
Earlier, they had mocked and belittled Yun Xiao, despising him as incapable, which had given their followers a shared sense of superiority.
But now... the eyes of the surrounding followers clearly showed a change.
What was the situation now?
The entire Samsara Galaxy was watching.
If all this were true, and so many people witnessed the cucking of their two Young Dragon Lords, they would never be able to lift their heads again.
"It's true! Through the Sky Sea Silk, I saw it clearly; he is not impaired at all! Everyone is gathering to watch..."
This definitive statement from the Dragon Devil Clan member caused an uproar among the troops.
As for Long Hao and Long Kun, their hair hadn't changed green yet, but their faces had turned entirely that shade. They knew that this young Dragon Devil wouldn't dare deceive them.
"Long Hao..." Long Kun suddenly slapped himself, his face contorted with rage. "To endure the greatest humiliation is the path to supremacy. Those who achieve great things don't bother with trifles! Even if we're mocked by the whole world today, we need only swallow our pride.
"We'll drive the Harmony Divine Palace out of the Heavenly Deity Alliance, and one day we'll suppress the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm. We brothers will turn the heavens upside down and make those snake women pay a thousandfold!"
His words left the onlookers stunned.
These Dragon Devils had previously played the part of devoted husbands. Now, at this point, they were still not bothering with their wives? Wasn't this the biggest joke under the heavens?
"Everyone, charge with me!" Long Hao suddenly roared, his voice so strained it seemed he might cough up blood. He truly was enduring.
He had cast aside his pride. He knew that in such extreme circumstances, even their elders would support him in swallowing his pride to accomplish their great mission.
"Attack!" Long Hao shouted, fully immersed in his own fervor.
"Long Hao..."
But in the next moment, Long Kun's call doused him like cold water.
Long Hao blinked, momentarily stunned.
He turned to see that the Alliance Army troops who had been following them were not charging ahead but were instead turning back, heading the other way.
"I don't believe that celestial slave is a fake!"
"That sissy doesn't look like he has any guts..."
"Whether he does or not, we'll see for ourselves!"
They shouted, seeming... excited?
Indeed, the Young Dragon Consort wasn't their wife, and the Harmony Divine Palace wasn't their mortal enemy. With the situation so chaotic now, everyone wanted to see for themselves. Once someone defied Long Hao, the rest followed suit.
Throughout this entire struggle, these two Young Dragon Lords had been crushed in combat, then humiliated time and again, yet each time chose to swallow their pride. Being suppressed by Yun Xiao like this, their credibility had long since plummeted.
Once, in the eyes of the Alliance Army, the two Young Dragon Lords were supreme future leaders.
Now, they had become cowards who didn't even dare to protect their own wives, with green Coronas over their heads.
In such circumstances, who would still listen to them?
All their sense of superiority had been built on their physical completeness. Once that advantage was gone, all the superiority they'd constructed collapsed entirely.
"Ugh!" Long Hao watched these people returning to watch the spectacle. Unable to hold back, he spat out a mouthful of black blood. His head spun, and he nearly fainted from rage on the spot.
One had to understand that the excitement of these people was built upon his misery and humiliation. Every additional pair of eyes was another blow to his dignity.
"Castrated dog, I will never coexist with you!" Long Hao's heart finally exploded.
The golden-haired Young Dragon Lord roared like an enraged dragon, eyes bloodshot, gripping the Myriad Feathered Dragon Sword Soul as he charged back like a madman.
"Young Dragon Lord, your wife is in the same situation..."
Long Kun was still in a daze. The reminder from others pierced his mind like a sharp sword, shattering all reason. Imagining his fiery wife facing defilement by a toad at this very moment, he too bled from his nose in rage.
"The Harmony Divine Palace must be annihilated! Yun Xiao, I curse your ancestors to the 18th generation!" Long Kun roared like a blood-soaked dragon.
The two Young Dragon Lords finally displayed the manly spirit the Dragon Devil Clan prided themselves on. The Alliance Army troops who had decided to watch the spectacle became even more excited.
"Have they started doing it inside that Sky Sea Silk?"
"Brothers, please, make way! Just give me a crack to peek through!"
At this moment, gossip and curiosity surpassed the fervor of a small-scale celestial war. In everyone's eyes, there was no longer contempt for Yun Xiao, only the thrill of the spectacle.
▬ι══🪦✧⚰️✧🪦══ι▬
Inside the Sky Sea Silk, the surrounding fabric was like an undersea starry sky, incredibly splendid.
Without a doubt, it was a perfect and romantic setting.
Of course, the wide-eyed onlookers outside, along with the countless millions watching from the Million Starlight Palace, were like countless flames burning all around.
"Ah…" The Young Dragon Consort covered her mouth with one hand, crying out in shock. She stared at Yun Xiao in terror, retreating in panic.
But alas, the space inside the Sky Sea Silk was limited; where could she escape to?
"You... you're not a celestial slave! You're not—"
Her terrified cries spread, dispelling the last traces of uncertainty among the spectators. After all, they were separated by the Sky Sea Silk, and Shen Nanyin was right there; could what she saw be false?
"Hearing is nothing compared to seeing. Do you understand now?" Yun Xiao looked at her like a fierce beast.
Before this, even when he slaughtered all, the Young Dragon Consort still dared to look at him with contempt—that was the arrogant trampling of his identity as a celestial slave.
But now, upon seeing that an ordinary human's physical prowess was not inferior to her ten-foot-tall husband, her eyes were filled only with extreme fear.
She was truly afraid! From head to toe, from body to soul, even down to her hair, this young man had shattered her faith in every aspect.
Now defenseless, reduced to a fish on the chopping block, this small human before her was like a nightmare, draining all color from her face.
To what extent had her fear reached?
She was clearly at the Establishment stage of the Fourth Baptism Realm, and Yun Xiao hadn't used any power to control her. Yet, she quickly found she couldn't move at all—a feeling of being so frightened that she lost control of her body.
"I didn't want to reveal myself, but you insisted on provoking me and attacking the Extreme Yin Star. Sorry, but I can no longer be polite."
At this moment, Yun Xiao's devilish voice was close at hand; every word pressed against Shen Nanyin like the tip of a fiery sword.
Shen Nanyin collapsed completely. She knew how many eyes were around them!
She also knew how many people were watching from the Million Starlight Palace! She wanted to be virtuous, to die to prove her resolve. But... she really couldn't move!
Even when she closed her eyes, her mind was filled with the haunting terror of this young man's overwhelming presence.
Her spirit collapsed as well.
At that moment, she even wanted to kneel before him, but unfortunately, she couldn't move at all.
She could only use all her strength, crying while relaxing her body, sobbing, "Th-then... please, just make it quick..."Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Saying this, she had let go of all her sense of shame and would no longer resist.
She was used to being bullied by the Young Dragon Lord, and her nature admired strength. Now that someone stronger had appeared, once she submitted, she would only become more obedient.
She closed her eyes and waited... and waited. Why hadn't it happened yet? Why hadn't he touched her? Was it because time seemed to drag on endlessly for her?
She still had confidence in herself; she was so vulnerable now—what was he waiting for? Finally, she couldn't help but open her eyes!
But she saw that the young man, at some point, had already dressed himself neatly, and his innate talent became shrouded once more.
"Why did you..." Shen Nanyin suddenly felt a wave of frustration, looking at Yun Xiao in disbelief.
Yun Xiao looked down at her with contempt and said calmly, "Why didn't I touch you? Please, with so many people watching, do you take me for a pervert?"
After a pause, he looked her up and down and added, "Besides, I'm not interested in married women, especially ones who've had children."
Shen Nanyin was speechless. She really wanted to die. She had already resigned herself. So you just used me to show off your manhood, to prove you're not a celestial slave?
Was there such a way to humiliate someone?!
For a moment, her emotions were mixed; she should have felt relieved, but somehow, she also felt a bit disappointed.
"With things like this, I can never return to the Southern Divine Dragon Realm in this life; you might as well take a liking to me..."
Of course, Shen Nanyin only said this in her heart. She sighed deeply; her once fearful eyes gradually turned wistful, looking at Yun Xiao with a hint of reproach...
