Chapter 616 I am a Rabbit-Eared Clan 34
Yin Yan's hand, covered in icy claws, pressed against her vulnerable shoulder, pinning her upper body firmly to the cold stone bed.
At the same time, his body, heavier and colder than refined iron, pressed down on her, his knees forcefully pushing open her instinctively curled-up legs, locking her completely in a cage of ice and flesh beneath him in an absolutely imprisoning posture.
The cold fur and strong muscle lines pressed against her soft body, the immense weight almost suffocating her. Only a breath's width of distance remained between them.
She was forced to confront his handsome yet inhuman face, so close to hers. The icy coldness in his golden beast eyes was like ice that had never melted for billions of years, freezing her soul instantly.
Silver Flame's gaze was like a poisoned ice spike, piercing through her tightly closed eyes and fragile disguise, and stabbing straight into the space hidden in the void.
He slowly lowered his head, his icy breath spraying onto Yun Chu's neck, which was soaked in cold sweat and almost transparent with pale skin. There, the roaring tiger's head was imprinted under his breath, greedily devouring the coldness like a living creature, its veins pulsating clearly.
The deep voice was like the grinding of cold iron, each word carrying a chilling, judgmental tone:
"Looks like you're not being honest." Those cold, calloused fingertips dangerously brushed across the core of the brand on the back of her neck, bringing a sharp, bone-chilling pain. "How dare you... keep a 'living creature' hidden away while I'm watching?"
He deliberately emphasized the word "living creature," as if tolling a death knell! Yun Chu's heart nearly exploded in that instant! He knew! He truly knew! He had discovered the existence of the little silver fish! Hiding it was futile!
Despair, like a black tide, completely engulfed her. Her last trump card, the last vestige of warmth she relied on to maintain herself and her will to live... was utterly exposed!
“Punishment…” Yin Yan’s voice dropped to freezing point, a cruel glint surging in his molten gold pupils, “I must make you understand what… absolute control is.”
The moment the words fell, Yun Chu felt a searing pain erupt from the core of the brand on the back of her neck!
It was no longer a cold, stinging pain, but a burning sensation as if one's heart were being consumed by blazing flames!
An unimaginable, cold, domineering, and tearing power, originating from the silver flame itself, actually barged into the hidden space deep within her soul through the link of the brand!
puff!
A silent tearing sound echoed in the air.
Under Yun Chu's horrified gaze, and within her forced opening of her consciousness to Yin Yan, countless fine, shimmering "thorn chains" of cold, dark blue metallic light were growing wildly from nothingness!
Their target was crystal clear—the tiny silver fish in the Cloud Beginning Space that had just regained a little life and was swimming around in fear!
These thorny chains were not physical entities, yet they exuded an aura of absolute coldness and imprisonment, originating from the same source as the silver flames. Like living venomous snakes, they instantly coiled around the little silver fish!
Each thorn pierced the barrier of space, as if it had also pierced Yun Chu's soul!
"Ugh—!" The intense pain did not come from the body, but from the forced invasion and confinement of the soul and space!
Yun Chu felt as if her brain was about to be torn apart by this irresistible force from the owner of the brand!
The little silver fish's fragile life force was being isolated, extracted, and compressed by the cold chains! That which was intimately connected to her life was now enduring torture!
"No!" she screamed in agony, not because of the physical restraints, but because of the excruciating pain and panic of her spiritual core being desecrated.
Silver Flame's cold face was close at hand, feeling every dying struggle and pain of his prey beneath him.
His hand on her shoulder didn't exert much force; it simply held her in place, as if admiring an interesting creation.
The bone knife he had stolen had been carelessly discarded on the cold stone floor, like a piece of trash.
"Feel it," Silver Flame's deep voice commanded like a decree from the underworld, its icy aura brushing against her pain-dazed eyes, imprinting itself firmly on her soul. "Every tightening of those chains is the price of your defiance. Now, surrender it. Otherwise,"
He narrowed his molten gold beast eyes slightly, and the cold light on the chains instantly surged. "Next time, what will be shattered will not be your luck, but... this weak life force itself."
The icy, bone-chilling chains were clearly wrapped around the silver fish, their origins deeply etched into her soul.
Yun Chu lay on the cold stone bed, enduring both mental and physical torture.
The silver flames, like a mountain range, completely enveloped her, like an insurmountable wall of sighs.
The little silver fish's feeble struggles, transmitted through the chains, conveyed her dying pleas. What else could she hide? Where could she escape to? Should she surrender it all? Surrender her only hope and her companion?
The excruciating pain at the core of the brand on the back of her neck reminded her of her master's will. The searing pain of utter despair swept over her again, this time mixed with a chilling despair of complete subjugation.
She opened her mouth, but no sound came out. Only two streams of hot tears silently slid down her cold cheeks and fell onto the equally cold obsidian bed beneath her, instantly freezing into ice.
Under absolute control, resistance and concealment are both futile. She can only endure this trial on the ice bed called "punishment" and await her master's final verdict.
The excruciating pain of her soul being torn apart still screamed deep within her brain, and each contraction of the cold, thorny chains felt like crushing the last fragment of her life.
Yin Yan's fingertips were only inches away from the brand on Yun Chu's neck. The moment the silver fish was completely peeled away and frozen in place, his gaze didn't change in the slightest, as if the peeling process was no different from crushing an ant.
His fingers, covered in icy claws, merely flicked upwards and into the void with an extremely slight movement.
Crash-!
The sound of chains tightening created a harsh, metallic grating in the deathly silence.
The thorny chains imprisoning the silverfish instantly disintegrated and reformed, transforming into a solid cage made entirely of cold, dark blue energy—its shape resembling a miniature crystal jar carved with thorn patterns.
Several tiny, dying silver creatures were ruthlessly imprisoned within, like the rarest specimens, suspended in Silver Flame's palm.
With the last bit of spatial barrier gone, the faint but pure life force contained within the silver fish was instantly and keenly sensed by Silver Flame.
Deep within his molten gold pupils, a barely perceptible, cold glint seemed to flash, akin to confirming the value of an item. Beyond that, there was no further ripple.
“A wise choice.” Yin Yan’s voice remained as calm as announcing the weather, yet it carried a chilling coldness. He lifted the suffocatingly tall body from Yun Chu’s body, supporting the suspended crystal cage.
Even without his weight and pressure, Yun Chu remained limp on the cold stone bed like a broken doll, unable to move an inch.
The lingering physical pain and the utter emptiness of having completely emptied her spirit left her with only the most primal, faintest instinctive breathing. Her tears had long since dried on her frozen cheeks, leaving two glaring streaks of ice.
