She had always been confident in her astrology skills — everything she foresaw had come true before, so she naturally believed in her divinations. If nothing unexpected happened, then the man standing before her would become her future husband.
But the very thought of the word husband made an inexplicable wave of disgust rise in her heart.
At this moment, she still had no idea that everything was Goku's doing. Of all people to divine, she just had to divine him! Wasn't that courting disaster?
So, Yue Shen personally requested permission from Ying Zheng to come to the Mohist Mechanical City. Her only goal — to kill Goku and sever this cursed bond of fate!
---
Goku smiled faintly, pretending to be innocent. "That killing intent is quite something… you really want to kill me, huh? But we've only just met. Why so murderous already? I only teased you a little — no need to get so worked up."
Yue Shen didn't respond. Instead, she answered with action. Yin–Yang energy surged from her hands, glowing in a ghostly blue light as she unleashed a strike straight at the restrained Goku in midair.
"Goku! Be careful!" cried Rong, panic flashing in her eyes.
"Zheng zheng ——!"
Before Goku could even move, the demonic sword at his waist let out a trembling hum. With a sharp metallic cry, it broke free of the restraining force and transformed into a blood-red streak of light, shooting straight toward Yue Shen's heart!
It was unimaginably fast — nearly instant.
Yue Shen's face changed drastically. She poured her Yin–Yang power outward, retreating at high speed, shrouding herself in radiant blue light — yet she still couldn't stop the sword's advance, not even for an instant.
This sword had become Goku's personal weapon, infused with his own energy. Even a trace of his aura was enough to make it terrifying beyond belief — far beyond what Yue Shen could handle.
It wasn't that Yue Shen was weak; her opponent was simply too abnormal.
Her Yin–Yang technique couldn't restrain the demonic sword at all. Her expression tightened as she twisted aside, trying to evade — but the sword was alive, faster than she could imagine. In a blink, it caught up, thrusting straight for the space between her brows!
"Such terrifying strength…" For the first time in her life, Yue Shen felt both shock and helplessness. As the blade closed in, she could only brace herself for death.
But just as she shut her eyes, awaiting the end — the sword halted, a hair's breadth away from her forehead.
The air around it swirled with demonic energy, whispering an eternal, suffocating aura.
The veil covering Yue Shen's face was sliced cleanly in two by the unseen edge of sword qi, fluttering gently to the ground.

"So… powerful…" murmured Rong in disbelief.
The legendary Yue Shen, one of the most feared names under heaven, couldn't even withstand a sword from Goku? It was beyond comprehension. How could such a man exist?
"You… why didn't you finish it?" Yue Shen asked coldly.
Goku rolled his eyes. "What, you're mad I didn't kill you? Would it be better if I did?"
Rong frowned slightly. "As Xue Nu said… he never kills women. His personality is even worse than Xiao Zhe's."
Goku waved his hand, and the demonic sword flew obediently back into his grasp before returning to his waist. He turned toward the forbidden area ahead. "Let's go. My little Yue is in there too."
"What about her?" Rong asked, glancing at Yue Shen.
"Of course she's coming with us," Goku said matter-of-factly. "She's my prisoner now."
Yue Shen's brows furrowed slightly at his words.
"What's wrong? Not happy?" Goku smirked. "Don't worry — I won't kill you. But if you misbehave… a little punishment isn't out of the question. Maybe a few smacks on that round butt…"
That line was pure poison. For women in this world, such humiliation was far worse than death.
Yet Yue Shen's expression didn't change. She followed silently behind Goku — but beneath her sleeve, her fingers were weaving subtle Yin–Yang seals.
If any member of the Yin–Yang Clan were present, they would have recognized it instantly — the most terrifying, inescapable curse of their art: the Six-Soul Fear Curse.
Since she couldn't win openly, she would strike from the shadows. Once the curse took hold, anyone who circulated their energy would trigger it — and not even the greatest immortal could save them.
---
As Yue Shen completed her final hand seal, a mist spread rapidly from her palm, enveloping the area in thick, eerie fog.
"Not good! Fall back!" Rong shouted, retreating at once. But the fog spread too fast — within moments, both she and Goku were swallowed up.
In truth, Goku had already noticed Yue Shen's secret actions the moment she began. But the Yin–Yang curse had no effect on him, so he simply let her try. He wanted her to feel despair — to break her spirit completely, until she could no longer resist him.
He knew well that for a proud, cold woman like Yue Shen, the only way to make her yield was either to disgust her to her limits or to overwhelm her with absolute power. Once she got used to that pressure — whether positive or negative — she would no longer be able to escape his influence.
When the mist cleared, Rong checked her pulse, her face paling. "This… this is the Yin–Yang curse mark…"
"This is the Yin–Yang Clan's most dreadful curse — the Six-Soul Fear Curse. Once it takes effect, if you try to channel energy, the curse will invade your organs. Even the greatest immortal can't save you," Yue Shen said coldly, her gaze calm as ever. "You are powerful, but you cannot escape fate. This is your destiny."
"My destiny?" Goku grinned. "Do you think you can control that?"
Then, his eyes glinted playfully. "But wait — aren't you supposed to know only the Slumber Seal Curse? Since when can you use the Six-Soul Fear Curse too?"
"You…" Yue Shen's face froze. "You didn't get cursed?!"
Rong gasped too, then smiled faintly. Of course — if Goku could keep both Da Siming and Shao Siming by his side unharmed, why would a mere curse affect him?
"If those curses worked," Goku said mockingly, "do you think I'd dare keep the Yin–Yang Sisters with me?"
"…So there truly exists someone immune to our Yin–Yang spells," Yue Shen muttered, her tone calm but her eyes filled with killing intent. "Then, for the sake of my clan… you must die."
Her Yin–Yang energy burst forth like a tidal wave, shaking the air itself. Space seemed to twist — an illusion caused by the sheer intensity of her power.
Last time, she had underestimated him and nearly died. This time, she wouldn't hold back. Against an unfathomable foe, hesitation meant death.
Suspended midair, hair flowing, eyes glowing blue, Yue Shen looked every bit like a divine goddess — aloof, unyielding, and devastatingly beautiful.
But Goku's pressure was so overwhelming that even facing Dong Huang Taiyi had never made her heart tremble this much.
Still, she refused to yield. She'd rather fight to the end than be anyone's captive.
Her energy exploded, Yin and Yang intertwining violently — this was her strongest state.
With a flick of her wrist, light gathered between her delicate fingers, her flowing robes dancing as she thrust forward.
It was too fast!
The terrifying energy wave rushed toward Goku like an invisible tsunami.
Her aura was divine, her movements elegant yet fatal — the perfect blend of grace and destruction.
Goku tilted his head, admiring her. "Huh. Didn't notice before — Yue Shen's figure is… quite something."
Then, as the wave hit, his sword appeared in hand. With a casual slash, a dazzling arc of sword qi split the attack cleanly in two.
The remaining energy struck Yue Shen herself in an instant.
Rip!
No blood. No scream. Only the soft fluttering of shredded cloth raining down.
Rong stood frozen in shock.
Yue Shen herself stared blankly at her torn garments, still processing what had happened.
For a heartbeat, she truly thought she was dead. But now…
Goku rubbed his chin, grinning mischievously. "Well, well. Didn't expect Yue Shen to have that kind of figure. My sword skills really are divine — others use a blade to kill, but me? I use it to undress!"
