Fearing being killed for his overwhelming merits, the empress decided to marry him.

When Ye Fan regained consciousness, he was already in a prison van.

The jolting of the prison van jolted him awake from his unconsciousness.

"Fan'er, you're finally awake."

Langyue's voice rang in my ears.

"Master..."

Ye Fan shook his head before looking up.

Lang Yue, Li Wan'er, and Ouyang Xuanyi were all sitting in another prison cart, looking at him with tense expressions.

"What's going on? Why am I here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a leather whip lashed viciously against the prison cart door.

"Behave yourself and don't say a word!"

Faced with the ferocious face of the Jin soldier, Ye Fan was immediately enraged and wanted to use his cultivation to escape.

But as soon as I exerted any effort, I felt weak and powerless all over, and I couldn't muster any strength at all.

"It's that dissipating-energy tea again..."

Recalling the familiar feeling of being violated by Wanyan Guang, Ye Fan suddenly felt a sense of trouble.

Only then did he realize that he was now on the streets of Bianjing, surrounded by people being escorted out of the city by the Jurchens.

Mixed in with the crowd were more than 3,000 people, including members of the Zhao imperial family and concubines.

As for Zhao Ji and his son Zhao Huan, they were even mingled in the crowd and received "special protection" from the Jurchens.

"Master, what exactly happened? How did we end up in such a state?"

Eager to understand the current situation, Ye Fan waited for the golden guard to leave before pressing his knees against the cage and asking Lang Yue questions.

Langyue replied, "You've been unconscious for three days. When that person summoned you to the palace that day, I immediately sensed something was wrong."

Fearing something might happen to you, I carefully followed behind you after you left. Sure enough, my prediction was correct; you fell into a coma not long after you left the mansion.

I immediately tried to help, but my opponent was also at the mid-stage of the Immortal Realm, just like me. We exchanged more than ten blows without a clear winner.

He wanted to continue his attack, but suddenly felt the spiritual energy in his dantian dissipate. Only then did he realize that the fragrance he had smelled earlier was the "Intoxicating Fragrance" that could completely destroy one's cultivation.

He used you as leverage to force us to submit. For Fan'er's safety, I had no choice but to temporarily cease my cultivation, drink the Hundred-Day Power-Dissipating Tea, and become a prisoner.

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan was immediately dumbfounded: "How could this be? Is there some mistake? The Great Jin Kingdom's smooth conquest of Bianjing is inseparable from my contributions."

How could His Highness the Fourth Prince treat me like this! There must be a mistake. I need to see His Highness the Fourth Prince. There must be a mistake. He promised me...

"Once this is accomplished, appoint me as king and entrust me with the administration of the Song Dynasty's territory!"

"Shut up!"

Upon hearing Ye Fan's commotion, the Jin guards who were escorting the prison rushed over and lashed the cage with their whips again!

"Brave warrior, I am Ye Fan, a meritorious official of your Great Jin Dynasty. Please take me to see His Highness the Fourth Prince, I beg you."

The golden man, who had been raising his whip, lowered it upon hearing the name "Ye Fan" called out from inside the prison cart. He asked with a suspicious look, "Are you Ye Fan?"

Ye Fan nodded hurriedly, "That's right, that's right, I am Ye Fan!" His eyes were full of hope.

"Hahaha!"

Unexpectedly, the Jin guard immediately burst into wild laughter.

He then waved to his colleagues and said, "Everyone come and see! Come on over here! This is Ye Fan, the Ye Fan who sold his ass that night!"

"What, where?"

"Wow, I really want to see this."

His shouts quickly attracted a crowd of Jin people to watch.

When they saw Ye Fan's appearance, they all burst into silly smiles.

"No wonder the Seventh Prince took a liking to her. Look at her, with her red lips and white teeth, and her slender figure, she looks like a woman."

"Hehehe, how many ordinary people can catch the Seventh Prince's eye? Now that we're in the capital, Ye Fan is probably going to be played to death, hahaha."

A barrage of vulgarities filled his ears, leaving Ye Fan speechless and stunned.

In the other prison van, Langyue and her apprentice seemed not to understand at all. They couldn't help but ask Ye Fan, "Fan'er, what are they saying? What do you mean by selling your ass? Why can't I understand a word they're saying?"

Ye Fan gritted his teeth and didn't speak. How could he possibly say such a thing?

But the Jin people didn't care what Ye Fan was thinking at the moment. When Lang Yue and the others asked, they said directly, "You probably don't know yet, do you?"

This Ye Fan is already one of our Seventh Prince's male favorites, his ass has been played with for ages, hahaha.

Langyue frowned: "What do you mean by that? I don't understand."

The Jin man patiently explained, "It seems you really don't understand anything. To put it simply, Ye Fan was slept with by our Seventh Prince."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Langyue found it utterly ridiculous. "How do men sleep together, and how do they do that kind of thing?"

"Hahaha, don't you know what homosexuality is? Some handsome men..."

They would be coveted by other powerful and wealthy men, and thus become objects of amusement.

This Ye Fan is our Seventh Prince's lover; they've been having an affair for a long time, and the entire Jin camp knows it."

These words shattered the worldview of Langyue and her disciples.

It was the first time they had ever realized that such outrageous things could happen between men.

The thought of Ye Fan engaging in illicit relations with another man in bed sent chills down the spines of all three women.

Looking at Ye Fan again, their eyes held a hint of disgust and suspicion.

"No, I didn't! You're talking nonsense! Master, I didn't! I really didn't! Don't believe them!"

Ye Fan hurriedly tried to prove himself.

But the Jin man's next words completely broke Ye Fan.

"No? Your story has already been recorded by the recording stone, and it's probably already been reported to the capital."

Ye Fan was completely dumbfounded.

Why, why did you break your promise!

Listening to the Jin people's unrestrained laughter in his ears and feeling the disdainful looks from Lang Yue and the others, Ye Fan felt for the first time as if he had been abandoned by the whole world.

But at that very moment, an even greater blow came.

"Ding, according to the system detection, the host's current remaining luck value is 703 points, which is not enough to offset the points to be deducted for this loss of face."

"According to the system rules, the host's life will be completely annihilated at this moment."

"However, since the system detected that the host's future fate was no different from death, it decided to make an exception. After deducting all luck points, it will completely sever the binding relationship with the host and let him live or die on his own."

"After the binding is broken, all the glory that the system has bestowed upon the host over the years will be taken back. I hope the host will take good care of himself and cherish the darkest time of his life."

Ye Fan was shocked and immediately shouted in his heart, "No, system, I have nothing left, you can't leave, you can't leave me, what will I do if you leave?"

After about a minute of silence, the system slowly spoke: "Host, before I leave, there's something I really want to tell you..."

After Lao Tzu was freed from the Taoist tradition by being killed by a madman named Shen Lian, he bound himself to many hosts.

Even the most pathetic simp in a stand-in novel isn't as clown-like as you. You're hopeless, just die!

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Fan felt an inexplicable emptiness in his heart, a feeling of oppression that made him break out in a cold sweat.

"No, the system, the system!"

Desperate cries instantly echoed throughout the streets and alleys.
