I am not ugly.

The pain that surrounded Long Lei, slowly collected at a single point in her heart, at a steady pace, as she felt relief from the exhausting fiery pain.

She could not understand the reason behind this overbearing pain after the contract. She hated that man who did this to her?

Just because she took the soul flute, he shouldn't force her to bind a contract with him.

The surprising thing was this contract, didn't even need her agreement and started working on its own without needing an oath.

Long Lei was confused, as far as she knows, every contract needed an oath to fully complete the binding. Even if Nangong Ah Jin, that beast has used a blood contract on her, she should at least try to deny the contract but nothing she tried could dispel the force behind that powerful ruin.

Although the pain was unbearable, and she cursed Nangong Ah Jin to die a horrible death probably by thousand cuts but the fiery pain never truly harmed her.

The fiery sensation passed through her entire body and was cleaning the impurities in every pores and meridian. It was reshaping her bone structure and purifying her blood.

Long Lei was able to feel all these changes in her body. At first, she was angry at Nangong Ah Jin for using this contract against her wishes but after experiencing the benefits from this blood ruin, she was secretly elated in her heart.

After coming inside this world and learning to adapt to the strange environment was terrible for her two years ago. She was friendly with her godfather as he was good to her and the first man she knew in this strange world.

She tried very hard in adapting in this world but it was difficult for her. She didn't have a purpose in this world.

In the beginning, she was excited to live in the fantasy world and experience the things which were mentioned in those dreamy novels, it was nice at first but after two months it became boring.

She could not truly adapt here. She learned medicine and honed her fighting skills in the arena by following her godfather's advice but never was satisfied.

It became a dull routine in her life.

She didn't know about anything about this body except her name was Long Lei.

Maybe this was the reason that she was so detached from this world.

She didn't know about the history of this body. Why she was murdered in that cold night?

Where were her parents?

She knew that this body was from Prime Minister's residence and somebody wanted her dead but why? She didn't know anything.

There was a big blank in her memories.

She has used her space and the knowledge which was passed on to her by Senior Xuan and was trying to learn everything alone.

She could never tell anybody about her thoughts and this new life. Long Lei was alone and sometimes, a bit miserable.

Long Lei has accumulated too many impurities in her body while practicing and experimenting alone. The fiery blood was helpful in cleansing her body completely.

But it does not mean that she was going to accept everything just like this and would not retaliate against him.

Someday, she will teach him a good lesson.

Long Lei decided in her heart.

She could hear the conversation between Meng Zhang and that bastard Nangong Ah Jin. She knew what Nangong Ah Jin did to her wasn't common and was very dangerous.

After that, she lost her focus again as the pain engulfed her bones and she was again feeling that insatiable fire rampaging inside her.

She was completely delirious because of that pain in her body; her mind was not in the right state to hear the rest of their conversation. She passed out from her confusion.

The next day, Long Lei was still peacefully enjoying her sleep while both Nangong Ah Jin and The Azure Dragon were bickering with each other.

It was becoming normal for both of them to add fire in each other's mouth.

"So, are you now going to leech her off now, Wangye?" Meng Zhang asked in a barely suppressed coy voice.

"Your little palace is so damn small to contain your huge arrogance, I can completely understand."

Meng Zhang spoke in his nasty tone; his voice was so cringy that even Nangong Ah Jin who was the king of shamelessness eventually frowned.

"Mm! just like your ugly little thing."

Nangong Ah Jin smiled. He was sickly smiling at Meng Zhang's third leg.

The mythological beast burned red in shame. He was an elder. Heavens! This little sovereign was teasing him like a flower house boy. How dare he behave so atrocious?

He must teach this narcissistic pig a lesson?

"Well, I am a man. I am good being ugly. After all, who needs a face as white and lovely as a moon?" Meng Zhang countered.

He can play this game too!

Nangong Ah Jin was now used to the silly teasing of the azure dragon so he didn't feel offended by him and continued enjoying the anticipating face of Meng Zhang.

"I know right. I am too good to be true. You should probably cover your face in presence of so many beautiful things."

Nangong Ah Jin teased Meng Zhang as he indirectly confirmed that he and Long Lei were pretty and the old dragon needs to hide his ugly face so as to not make the scene hideous.

Meng Zhang was again insulted but could do nothing in return as his powers were far too lacking behind this abnormal monster.

"You, I am not ugly!" Meng Zhang puffed his cheeks in anger.

Suddenly, Meng Zhang froze as he heard the mischievous voice of his mistress through their mind link.

"Chill! You are pretty."
