Grand Ancestral Bloodlines Chapter 2172

[ … words ]

Sarriel couldn’t even think. It felt like she had entered some sort of limbo, her body shutting down in ways that she would have never expected possible for someone as powerful as she was.

She could barely register the fact that the surrounding land hardly experienced any changes at all outside of the ones Ryu triggered with his Jadebound Clearheart Bone Structure.

All of the power wasn’t dissipated in the slightest. Those fists that could topple mountains and those legs that could sunder skies all fell onto her body and forced it to soak up every last droplet of strength.

She couldn’t remember the last time she had suffered this much. Surely, she had in the past. But back then, she still hadn’t allowed herself to complete the last leg of her cultivation journey.

This time, she thought she had already reached the pinnacle. She believed that there was no one better than herself…

Only to lose in such terrible, heart-rending fashion.

She collapsed to the ground and expected hard stone. But soon, she was enveloped by a different sort of hardness.

She hadn’t experienced being in Ryu’s arms many times before, but that scent, that feeling—it was simply undeniable.

After breaking and ravaging her body, he actually had the audacity to suddenly become so gentle.

It made her furious, or rather, it should have. But she found herself just… collapsing.

Her breathing was heavy, but she pressed her forehead into Ryu’s chest. At this point… she was just tired. Tired of it all.

Ryu cradled her, a light smile on his lips as her aura dimmed.

“Lesson two wasn’t so bad, no?”

Sarriel didn’t reply, breathing heavily into Ryu’s chest. Her body began to shrink in size, and her seven pupils vanished back into the form of just a single one.

She didn’t make much of an effort to escape Ryu at all, leaning on him with all of her weight.

“Do you? You could have fooled me.”

“… If you cannot… get revenge for me… I will cut it off…”

Ryu’s grin became wider. “You’ve become so much more obedient all of a sudden. Don’t tell me my Sarriel is such a masochist.”

“… Kick rocks—.”

Ryu kissed her.

It wasn’t the first time they kissed. But it could be said that this was the first time Ryu was kissing the true Sarriel and not just one of her split personalities.

Sarriel froze for a moment, seemingly wanting to struggle. But then she seemed to melt.

Ryu pulled away, and if it wasn’t for the pain in her body, she would have chased after him.

Wait… pain? Where was it?

Sarriel was so distracted by the kiss that she didn’t even notice when her body seemed to have healed completely.

“You… what?”

Sarriel didn’t understand. Her injuries weren’t light, and she had been all but a God when she received them, so healing them should have been an extremely tall order.

So how was it that she was just fine already?

“If I’m going to snatch a certain someone’s Primordial Yin, it can’t be that I have to do it while you’re heavily injured, right? In that case, what sort of husband would I be?”

“What—?”

Sarriel couldn’t react before Ryu waved a hand. In that moment, the entire sky seemed to have blacked out. Let alone seeing what was happening here, they couldn’t even scry Fate to get a small idea.

Ryu was already laying Sarriel on a soft patch of grass while she was still in a daze.

“Hey, hey! I don’t remember agreeing to this so soon.”

“No?” Ryu asked, softly kissing her neck.

Sarriel shuddered, squeezing her legs together tightly.

“Something tells me you’ve actually been waiting for this for a long while. Am I really wrong?” Ryu asked in a gentle tone, kissing the other side of her collarbone.

“Don’t… put words… in my… mouth…” Sarriel spoke through gasping breaths.

RIP.

Her body jolted as her dress was torn in two, revealing beautiful, blue lace undergarments. They cupped her breasts perfectly, their patterns gripping against her round hips and slender waist.

Sarriel shivered slightly, her skin flushing red.

Ryu tore off his own robes, looking down at the misty-eyed woman beneath him with a smile.

“Stop smiling at me…” she said, looking away. She pressed her palms against Ryu’s firm chest as though in mock protest to push him away, but there was almost no power in her arms at all, and Ryu was 90% sure she was taking the chance to cop a feel.

“That’s one command I can’t very well listen to,” Ryu replied, his smile becoming brighter.

Sarriel found her arms being bent beneath Ryu’s pressure, and soon her lips were covered once more. A strong arm wrapped around her tiny waist, and she couldn’t help but wrap her legs around Ryu’s.

She lost herself in the feeling of his tongue, and all the grievances that had just been boiling inside of her were whisked away with one second after another.

She hardly reacted when her bra was clipped off, or when a shockingly well-controlled flame burned her underwear to ash.

It was only when the soft, pink folds of her most treasured region felt a strong, pulsing heat pressing against it did she awaken just the slightest bit.

But in that moment of clarity, she realized that she really did want this.

“Didn’t you say… that I’d jump into your bed… of my own will?” Sarriel whispered into Ryu’s ear, her breasts pressed firmly against his chest.

Ryu grinned. “Your hips are wiggling enough right now that I could take it as a win.”

“Technical victories? I thought you were a better man than that.”

“You’re right. How about I let my wife have this victory?”

“Oh?”

“Of course. I think I’ll eat you… right here and now.”

Sarriel opened her mouth to respond but shuddered instead as she felt Ryu enter her.

She bowed her head, biting onto the thickness of his traps to keep silent.
