Yet, this young girl hadn’t noticed, still looking at him with disgust in her eyes.
This guy...
Chen Ye looked at the girl in front of him, a contradiction to the extreme, and the alert in his heart rose to the highest.
He forcibly suppressed the agitation brought by the Heart Evil Technique and asked in a stern voice, "Who are you? Where is my disciple, Qing Jun?!"
"Your disciple..."
The girl’s expression suddenly changed, as if she had thought of something interesting.
Her eyes fell on Chen Ye,
"If you promise me one thing, I’ll let your disciple go."
What kind of look is this?
Chen Ye felt a chill in his heart. This guy, she wouldn’t make him sell himself, would she?
Although this girl in front of him was otherworldly beautiful, Chen Ye, a man over six feet tall, how could he suffer such humiliation?
Moreover, he was the master of two disciples!
If... if Qing Jun was nearby and saw his master sell himself, everything would be ruined!
He forcibly suppressed the sinister thoughts rising in his heart due to the Heart Evil Technique and asked in a deep voice, "What is it? Just... will you keep your word?"
Chen Ye didn’t believe her, because he had already been played once!
The silver-haired girl seemed to see through his sordid thoughts and narrowed her eyes in disgust.
She knew...
This Chen Ye was no good!
However... this was a chance to let Xu Qingjun see his true colors!
"What do you think I would do to you?"
She looked down at Chen Ye as if he were an ant, a playful curve forming at the corner of her mouth.
"Your skin, filthy and foul-smelling, to me, is no different from those dry bones."
She extended her slender jade-like finger, gently touching her blood-red lips, speaking in a dream-like tone:
"I want you... to entertain me."
She paused, and in her scarlet eyes, a blend of fiery rage and cold indifference finally transformed into pure malice.
"Didn’t you fall prey to that Heart Evil Technique? Your heart must be surging with desires right now, no?"
She let out a light laugh, a laugh that sent chills through Chen Ye’s body,
"In that case, I’ll give you a chance to vent."
"Right here, in front of me."
She slowly lifted her hand, pointing at Chen Ye,
"Do it yourself, let me see how ugly and shameful you so-called righteous cultivators are in the face of desire."
Boom!
Her words were like a thunderclap from the nine heavens, exploding in Chen Ye’s mind!
His eyes turned bloodshot, staring intently at the astonishing girl before him, extreme humiliation nearly burning away his sanity!
A warrior can be killed but not humiliated!
He would rather die in battle than perform such lewd and disgraceful acts before a woman!
"You... dream on!" He squeezed out the words through gritted teeth.
"Is that so?"
The girl was not upset at all; she merely snapped her fingers lightly.
The next moment, in Chen Ye’s horrified gaze, the surface of the Demon Lake behind him slowly rose into a water mirror formed by Demonic Qi.
In the mirror, it reflected the figure of his young disciple Qing Jun!
Qing Jun was trapped in a black Demonic Qi-formed sphere, her eyes tightly closed, her little face full of pain and unease, as if experiencing some horrible nightmare.
"You see, your precious disciple seems to like the smell here,"
The girl’s voice drifted in,
"She is a guest in the Dream Demon Prison... If you do not obey, I do not mind letting her stay here forever, to see how many interesting nightmares her small body can endure."
"You...!" Chen Ye’s eyes widened in anger as he looked at Qing Jun’s pained little face in the water mirror, and his heart’s defenses utterly collapsed.
...
The figure of Qing Jun was, of course, deliberately fabricated by Xu Xinming.
In the depths of consciousness known to none, Xu Xinming’s voice carried a hint of delight.
"Look closely at your so-called master, the man you fervently defended and revered as a deity, how ugly and vile he is!"
It was just... too satisfying!
She wanted Qing Jun’s most esteemed master to do the most disgraceful thing in Qing Jun’s presence!
"Look closely! And then, thoroughly... despise him, abandon him!"
"If you truly like him... why view him as a master? Seeing him as a plaything would be better... In that case, sparing his life wouldn’t matter..."
...
Chen Ye slowly closed his eyes. When he reopened them, all the struggle in his eyes had turned to dead silence.
He knew he had no choice anymore.
For Qing Jun, not to mention his dignity, even if it meant immediate death, he wouldn’t hesitate.
In the expectant gaze of the silver-haired girl, he lifted his head in humiliation, taking a final look at the mysterious girl.
The girl remained arrogant and disdainful, the flames in her scarlet eyes flickering, urging, "Hurry up! Ha, a grown man, dawdling..."
Chen Ye’s hand trembled slightly, slowly raising it.
However, just as he was about to comply, his movements suddenly paused!
Something wasn’t right!
The girl before him, though exuding a mysterious and powerful aura...
Somehow...
Just now, when she manipulated the Demonic Qi to form the water mirror and threatened him with words, she inadvertently revealed a hint of her most essential aura.
That aura...
Was only at the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer?!
That’s right!
She was bluffing, using Qing Jun to threaten him, causing his mind to falter, afraid to resist!
But in reality, this person to him, was the true ant!
He slowly lowered that trembling hand.
