After crying for a while and seeing that Chu Feng was still standing there motionless, the girl in white was about to lose it.
I’ve been crying for so long. Anyone with a heart of stone would’ve been moved by now! And yet this guy is still standing there like a block of wood!
Usually, whenever she cried like this, which man didn’t fall for her? Their greedy looks were always plain as day.
But this human brat was completely unmoved!
If he weren’t the only prey left here with a first-rank cultivation, she wouldn’t have even bothered with someone like him.
Looks like it was time to resort to some tricks.
Then, she gently exhaled a stream of pink true qi from her mouth, sending it floating toward Chu Feng.
As the pink qi entered his body, the girl in white stopped crying. There was not a doubt in her mind that, in the next moment, this young human would come pouncing toward her.
Had Chu Feng not possessed a Yin-Yang spiritual root, things would’ve indeed gone exactly as she planned. Unfortunately for her, to someone with a Yin-Yang spiritual root, that pink qi was… quite soothing~
Chu Feng only felt a sudden heat surge through his body, but it disappeared in an instant.
Instead, a wave of pure true qi surged into his dantian.
“Hahaha, miss, you stay here and cry it out a bit more. You know, sometimes letting it all out really helps. I just remembered…uh, I left the gas on in my room… no wait, I meant the spiritual energy. Gotta go!”
Time to scram… this is clearly not normal.
There was no way Chu Feng was going to stick around a second longer.
“Heh… trying to run?!”
Seeing her target for the night trying to flee, the girl in white dropped all pretense. After this job, she was calling it quits. She’d been playing knight for long enough; she was tired. With the Dragon Phoenix Guards already on her tail, it was time to hang up her… skirt and retire.
Whoosh—
A gust of wind blew in, instantly forming a wall of wind in front of Chu Feng.
Oh shit. This chick is seriously bad news!
Panic started creeping in. He had cultivation, sure, but he hadn’t even trained in any actual techniques yet!
“Kid, I didn’t want to use force, but you tried to run. If you’d just stayed put, maybe I would’ve let you enjoy the last moments of your life in comfort.”
The girl in white sneered as three tails swayed lazily behind her.
Game over. She’s the fox demon behind tonight’s murders!
“Wait, wait!”
Chu Feng reached out dramatically, like he was possessed by some tragic stage actor. Too bad there was no Ziwei here….he could’ve at least put on a horseback riding duet.
“Senior, look at me…. I’m just a measly first-rank weakling. Draining me probably wouldn’t even be enough to fill a crack.”
“Fufu~ Boy, don’t your people say, ‘Don’t judge a book by its cover’? What if you’re small but mighty….hitting right where it counts?”
The girl in white giggled.
Good grief. What kind of messed-up conversation is this?
Chu Feng felt like if this chat went on any longer, it was bound to go completely off the rails.
“Senior, I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
Chu Feng quietly tightened his grip on the longsword. The moment she let her guard down, his figure burst forward at full speed.
Unfortunately, the girl in white saw through his little trick completely. The gap in cultivation was something no amount of cunning could bridge.
“Eat my greatsword!”
Chu Feng poured all his true qi into one strike, slashing down at her.
“Useless.”
With a simple flick of her finger, the girl in white shattered his attack in an instant.
Boom—
Chu Feng’s body was sent crashing to the ground.
“Cough, cough! Damn… that really hurts!”
Clutching his chest, he felt firsthand the pain of his organs seemingly shifting out of place. He could barely breathe.
“Hehe, trying to throw your life away? If you die, how am I supposed to increase my cultivation?”
The girl in white walked toward him step by step.
It’s over. This time, I’m really getting BBQ’ed…
Just when Chu Feng thought he was about to die, a faint, elegant fragrance slipped into his nose.
That scent… Senior Sister Yuyan!
“Take one more step and you die.”
A cold voice cut through the night. Bai Yuyan’s graceful figure appeared behind Chu Feng. Her beautiful eyes were filled with icy killing intent.
When the girl in white saw Bai Yuyan, she froze for a moment. But after sensing the other’s cultivation, she smirked.
“Only fourth rank? And you dare stand in front of me?”
Bai Yuyan stepped forward, shielding Chu Feng behind her. Her beautiful eyes fixed coldly on the fox demon before her.
“That’s exactly what I was about to say. A mere middle stage fifth rank fox demon. If you were sixth rank, perhaps you might actually pose some trouble.”
Hearing this, the fox demon sneered.
“Have the younger generation grown this arrogant? Very well. Allow me to teach you what it means to curb your pride!”
In the next instant, a barrier of wind collapsed down over Bai Yuyan with blades of wind swirling all around within it.
Looking proudly at her trap, the fox demon chuckled.
“Well? Do you have the confidence to walk out of that alive?
Confidence is fine for the young, but don’t—”
Her words cut off abruptly, and her eyes widened in shock.
For even as she spoke, Bai Yuyan flipped her palm, and a slender crimson sword appeared in her grasp. Crimson Jade, her life-bound weapon.
In an instant, sword qi surged toward the sky, splitting the wind barrier cleanly in two.
Bai Yuyan released her grip, and Crimson Jade floated into the air. In an instant, crimson flames surged out from within the sword.
“Go!”
Pointing her finger at the fox demon, Bai Yuyan sent the spirit sword flying like it had a tracking system, striking straight toward her foe.
“Impossible!?”
The fox demon never imagined that her wind barrier could actually be shattered by someone at only the fourth rank.
“Nothing more than a fourth-rank cultivation. Don’t get ahead of yourself!”
The fox demon opened her lips and spat out a pink-colored demon core.
That demon core… it wasBai Yuyan’s true target.
The fox demon’s hands moved swiftly, forming seals as blue and pink wind blades enveloped her body. As the blades gathered, the shape of a huge fox took form.
Her true beast form. Among the demon race, such a form usually appeared only when they fought with everything they had.
The fox demon lunged straight at Bai Yuyan.
But Bai Yuyan remained utterly calm. The next moment, an overwhelming surge of spiritual energy burst forth. It was far beyond what a fourth rank should ever possess, rivaling even the spiritual energy of the sixth rank.
The fox demon realized the danger, but by then, it was already too late.
In an instant, the sword qi condensed from her spiritual energy slashed straight across the fox demon’s beast form. If not for the fox demon’s reaction at the very last moment, she would have already been cleaved in two.
Gululu—
As the fox demon’s beast form broke apart, her demon core tumbled to the ground.
“Impossible! How can there be such powerful spiritual energy!?”
The fox demon couldn’t believe it. The opponent was only at the fourth rank, yet the spiritual energy she had just displayed even surpassed that of an ordinary sixth rank.
“In this world, there are far too many unbelievable things. It’s only normal.”
Bai Yuyan spoke calmly. For example, regressing. Even now, she still hadn’t figured out why she had gone back in time. The harder she tried to recall it, the blurrier her memories became.
Bai Yuyan picked up the demon core. At last, a fifth-rank demon core was in her hand. Now her junior brother’s perfect pill was guaranteed.
“Well then, little junior brother, your senior sister wasn’t late, was she?”
Bai Yuyan turned with a smile. The night wind lifted her long, dark hair and sent the hem of her skirt fluttering.
Her beautiful eyes sparkled, carrying a brilliance that could captivate a soul. Just one glance, and she could topple a city. Beneath the night sky, the scene before him was so breathtaking, it seemed like a living painting.
