Chapter 302: Woman, You Lost!
"Bang!"
The ground cracked open.
Jacqueline's figure flashed.
Her body transformed into a fiery red streak of light, shooting forward.
A burst of air exploded outward, sweeping in all directions.
On the street, only a fiery red streak of light could be seen rushing toward Li Meng outside the south gate.
The terrifying force of the strike whipped up a massive storm.
It was as if a tornado was surging toward the southern gate.
Before the tornado arrived, the fiery red light was already there.
Before the fiery red light even reached him, Li Meng felt a wave of heat surging toward his face.
A Sword Emperor indeed lived up to the title; the speed and power of this move were flawless.
If it were a mage of the same level, they'd be instantly annihilated upon contact.
At the moment the fiery red light collided with Li Meng, his left hand darted out from beneath his black robe with lightning speed.
With a gentle flick of his finger against the incoming sword blade, there was a resonating "Clang," and a surge of air erupted.
An invisible force clashed with the fiery aura.
The energy surrounding Jacqueline instantly dissipated.
Jacqueline felt an overwhelming force travel up her sword.
Her greatsword was effortlessly deflected.
This scene caused Jacqueline's pupils to contract.
In the brief moment of their clash, she sensed the terrifying aura emanating from the man before her.
Yet Jacqueline showed no fear. Instead, her face lit up with an excited, feral grin.
"Again!"
She took a step back, releasing the impact force.
With a spirited cry, her energy surged and coiled once more.
Gripping her sword with both hands, she slashed toward the silver-masked man.
The ferocious energy almost materialized into solid flames.
The air around Jacqueline warped under the heat.
The ground beneath her feet began to melt, turning a fiery red.
Jacqueline's sword strikes were blindingly fast.
To an ordinary person, her movements were nothing but a blur.
However, facing Jacqueline's renewed assault, Li Meng simply extended his hand and precisely smacked the blade mid-swing.
With a loud "Boom," the invisible force collided with the explosive fire energy.
This time, Jacqueline's greatsword was knocked clean out of her grasp.
The sword flew several hundred meters away before crashing into an abandoned building with a deafening "Boom."
The impact caused the structure to collapse into rubble.
Two failed attacks made Jacqueline realize the vast disparity between herself and the man before her.
Standing in front of Li Meng, Jacqueline stared at her hands in disbelief.
She hadn't imagined her two strongest attacks could be effortlessly neutralized by a single hand.
She was a Sword Emperor; even a Sword God wouldn't defeat her so easily.
"I... I lost!"
In their brief exchange, Jacqueline was forced to acknowledge the truth.
She was no match for this monstrous man.
Her brute strength and fiery energy were mere child's play in his eyes.
"Indeed, you lost."
Li Meng scrutinized Jacqueline from head to toe.
Although Jacqueline was a half-dragon, she called herself a Sword Emperor.
This indicated she had studied some human sword techniques.
The techniques she used earlier bore a resemblance to the Sword God style.
Li Meng took a step forward, closing the distance between them.
"You haven't forgotten our agreement, have you?"
Jacqueline raised her head, staring at the comical silver mask.
She brushed a lock of hair from her forehead, a smile forming on her face.
"I'm already 317 years old!"
"And so?"
Half-dragons naturally had long lifespans.
Although not as long-lived as elves, even an ordinary half-dragon could live around seven centuries.
For half-dragon warriors and mages, living one or two thousand years wasn't uncommon.
Both magic and sword techniques allowed them to slow the aging process.
"If I become your woman, you'll have trouble on your hands."
"You have a husband?"
Jacqueline nodded slightly.
"I'm over three hundred years old. You don't think I'm still a virgin, do you? Don't forget, we half-dragons are far more passionate than humans. I've had many partners. Though they're all dead, as long as I live, there will always be new ones."
Dragons were inherently lustful.
The abundance of dragon-descended creatures in Augus Continent wasn't without reason.
Half-dragons were drawn to humans for a reason as well.
Humans' appearance fit their aesthetic preferences.
Among half-dragons, owning beautiful human slaves was a status symbol.
Those who traveled often sought humans as companions.
"Who is your husband?"
"The Water God, Alpha!"
The Water God, Alpha?
Hearing this, Li Meng furrowed his brows.
Li Meng had heard this name from Alisa before.
In the human territories of the southern continent, those with the title of "God" were not simple individuals.
The Water God, Alpha, was one of the most renowned divine-level experts among humans.
He was a Water God-tier Grand Archmage.
Twenty years ago, he had withdrawn from public life.
Li Meng hadn't expected Alpha to choose to reside in the City of Mazes.
"He must be an old man by now, right?"
Twenty years ago, Alpha was already over seventy.
He was likely approaching a century of age now.
Although experts lived far longer than ordinary people, even a Grand Archmage would struggle to live beyond 150 years.
Li Meng found it surprising that Jacqueline would be with such an old man.
Though Jacqueline was much older than Alpha in years, her youthful appearance reflected her species' longevity.
"Yes, he's very old, with a full head of white hair."
"Do you love him?"
Without hesitation, Jacqueline nodded.
"I love him. We half-dragons only mate with those we love!"
"Then why did you agree to the wager?"
Jacqueline's gaze flickered, and a hint of awkwardness appeared on her beautiful face.
"I didn't think I would lose."
"So what do you plan to do now? You lost!"
Jacqueline raised her head high, her chest puffed out in pride.
"Hmph! I'm the Red Sword Emperor, Jacqueline! A wager is a wager, and I won't go back on my word!"
"From today on, I'm your woman. I'll bear your children."
"But don't get too comfortable. Alpha will take me back from you!"
Looking at the proud woman before him, even in defeat, Li Meng chuckled.
He bent down, wrapping an arm around Jacqueline's waist.
Then he hoisted her onto his shoulder.
With his right hand, he gave her firm, round ass a playful slap.
"Woman, let's go home and make some babies!"
Blushing slightly, Jacqueline felt a tinge of annoyance.
She knew his actions were a declaration of ownership.
News of the Red Sword Emperor Jacqueline's defeat and capture would soon spread.
"Boss is incredible!"
The Red Sword Emperor Jacqueline was defeated so easily by the boss.
The onlooking adventurers found it hard to believe.
They knew their leader was strong, but not this strong.
By the time the adventurers regained their senses, their leader had already carried the woman home.
"Boss is incredible!"
Cheers erupted from the adventurers on the city walls.
If even a Sword Emperor couldn't defeat their leader, the Brotherhood was bound to rise under such a powerhouse.
