Chapter 1037: Chapter 762: Jia Lan’s Return_2

Thinking back now.

She must have done something back then!

The truth is indeed as Liu Ye imagined. Shen Tang naturally wasn’t going to treat him for free back then.

While she was treating him, she intentionally devised a trick, secretly planting a thin "nail" within his body in advance.

She wove her spiritual power into his bloodstream like threads.

This strand of spiritual power was extremely subtle, usually in a completely dormant state, emitting no fluctuations, and Liu Ye was completely unaware of it.

But as time went on, it would gradually invade his sea of consciousness.

When Shen Tang decided to act—

She would only need to activate this strand of pre-arranged spiritual power, and the power hidden within the blood would instantly "condense," like countless fine ice needles piercing through Liu Ye’s entire body via the blood vessels.

As soon as he tried to use his superpower, his entire body’s meridians would feel like they were being pricked with needles, and the sensation would only grow stronger!

His spiritual power and superpower would be completely disrupted, rendering him unable to control his body, enabling her to achieve her goal.

This was her plan!

Ha, Liu Ye previously planted a spirit seed in her, and now she, in turn, planted spiritual power within him. This was a tit-for-tat, neither owing the other.

This method was inspired by the "Return Nest" of Lu Xiao. Though the effect was far inferior, it had a similar control effect, allowing her to weaken Liu Ye temporarily and make him unable to resist.

Thinking of Ah Xiao, she wondered how he was doing now...

Shen Tang suppressed a trace of worry in her heart. She leaned forward, extending her slender, soft fingers, lifting his chin.

Those beautiful, enticing eyes still smiled with such purity and innocence, even more brilliantly.

Yet it carried a strong sense of irony,

"Don’t you love acting? How does it feel to be played?"

Liu Ye glared at her angrily, gritting his teeth, "So you’ve been deceiving me the whole time! Playing with my emotions from start to finish!"

His hoarse voice was filled with a hysterical, trapped-animal-like roar.

Shen Tang frowned slightly, the smile on her lips slowly disappearing,

"Emotions? Aren’t you the one who finds the idea laughable? The proud Sea Emperor despises the emotions of females, considering them merely tools to be toyed with, killed, and used to satisfy your twisted psyche. These are your own words."

Her expression turned icy, as if covered in frost,

"Besides, don’t forget, you were the one who deceived me first, the one who hurt me first."

Back in the New Yalan Empire, he pierced her chest with his palm, the intense pain of near-death still vivid in her memory.

Shen Tang didn’t have Stockholm Syndrome. She was the victim, and there was no reason to feel sorry for this vile man.

This backlash was deserved by him.

She was merely retaliating.

Possibly due to the pain in his body, or perhaps Liu Ye had no room for rebuttal. He gritted his teeth, unable to speak, glaring at Shen Tang with those fierce scarlet eyes.

"I won, you lost."

Shen Tang cruelly declared the outcome of the battle.

Liu Ye’s vision grew dim, as if his consciousness was detaching from his body, losing control over it.

Shen Tang squatted in front of him, gazing into those furious scarlet eyes, as if she couldn’t wait to infuriate him further, she slowly added a sentence,

"Didn’t you say ’the victor becomes king, the loser... warms the bed’?"

"What a pity, I don’t love you, and I don’t need you."

"You should just—disappear!"

Tired of wasting words with him, Shen Tang directly condensed her strongest spiritual power attack, piercing into his mind.

Liu Ye completely lost consciousness, collapsing on the ground.

The violent, dark aura surrounding him seemed to gradually dissipate.

Shen Tang sensed that he was truly unconscious this time and finally relaxed, feeling relieved at her success.

Though she had planned so much in just a few short days, during this time she was constantly on edge, acting with such dedication. Despite her strong aversion to Liu Ye, she had to feign deep love, even deal with him in cunning exchanges, and resort to using her body to tempt him, fearing that this cunning man might notice any discrepancies.

Her mental state had always been tense during this period, finally she relaxed, feeling somewhat exhausted as she slumped to the ground.

She simply lay beside the man, gently stroking his exquisite features, and softly murmured,
