"Hmm?"
The girl saw this, and the flame in her crimson eyes jumped suddenly. She furrowed her beautiful brows and said coldly, "What? Are you planning to back out?"
Don’t say it, this guy even seems to be quite looking forward to it.
"Back out?" Chen Ye laughed. He looked directly into the girl’s violent crimson eyes, and step by step, slowly walked towards her, "I just suddenly realized, you seem... much weaker than I imagined."
As he approached, a trace of panic appeared on the girl’s eternally icy beautiful face.
She could feel that the aura of this man before her had changed.
It was a confidence that saw through all disguises, completely reversing the roles of prey and predator!
"Stop! Take one more step and I’ll let your precious disciple’s soul scatter!" the girl threatened with feigned boldness, the demonic qi behind her surged once again, turning into countless tentacles, baring their fangs and claws.
Chen Ye laughed. These demonic qi looked terrifying, but in reality, how powerful could they be?
Even the resentful spirits formed from the essence of demonic qi, Chen Ye could crush one in his hand...
"If you truly had the capability to snatch Qing Jun away from me without my noticing, how could you only be at Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer?"
The roles had reversed, and now the smile on Chen Ye’s face carried a hint of cruelty.
Previously, Chen Ye found it strange.
Why did Qing Jun disappear from his side without a trace, in the blink of an eye?
To achieve this, it must either be some great master or a trick akin to a blinding technique, just like magic in a past life.
Moreover, at this moment, he was gaining an advantage step by step, which by rights should have angered the girl.
Yet this girl could only make empty threats, which was enough to prove that her strength was negligible!
As for the so-called "Dream Demon Prison" she cast earlier, it was likely just another blinding technique!
With one step, Chen Ye set foot upon the black lake, standing directly in front of the girl.
The distance between them was now only a breath away.
"I know who you are now..."
Chen Ye gazed at the girl.
The silver-haired girl’s eyelashes trembled as she listened to Chen Ye continue calmly:
"Qing Jun once told me that after being captured by Wang Po, an elder sister came to save her. You are that sister, aren’t you? If you really wanted to kill Qing Jun, why would you save her?"
The silver-haired girl breathed a sigh of relief and snorted coldly, "So what if I am? I... am Xu Xinming!"
Xu Xinming?
Chen Ye silently chewed over this name, having never heard it before in the original game.
In theory, such a stunning appearance surely wouldn’t belong to an anonymous character in the original plot.
But alas, the original game was just a pixel game, and he couldn’t possibly recognize her as a character from the original plot based solely on her looks, could he?
Unless she had some distinct feature.
For instance, Qing Jun had phoenix eyes with a mole at the end, which initially led Chen Ye to associate her with the World-Ending Demoness in the plot.
And Xu Xinming also had phoenix eyes, but Chen Ye couldn’t just say she was Qing Jun, could he?
No matter how you think about it, it’s impossible!
Chen Ye steadied his thoughts, and his movements were fast as lightning.
Caught off guard, he grabbed the girl’s snow-white, slender neck, lifting her whole body up!
"Let... let go of me!"
The girl’s body was restrained, and the unfathomable aura vanished, revealing her fragile and feeble true cultivation.
She struggled fiercely, glaring at Chen Ye with those crimson eyes.
But oddly, upon seeing Chen Ye’s face so close, a feeling of nausea mingled with infatuation surged from the depths of her heart, making her body go limp as she forgot to resist.
Chen Ye sighed, "You... are a bit like my little disciple, outwardly splendid, inwardly decayed, just a paper tiger that only talks tough."
"You..."
This girl named Xu Xinming somehow seemed to feel wronged, and her phoenix eyes were even brimming with tears.
Chen Ye’s voice was like a cold wind from the underworld, chilling to the bone:
"Tell me, where is my disciple? Since you saved her life before, I naturally regard you as a benefactor, so why trouble me!"
"You... don’t even think about it..." the girl gritted her teeth, squeezing out a few words from between her teeth.
Even at this point, she still wouldn’t confess!
"Really?"
Chen Ye sneered, looking at the exquisite, cold face before him, and the pair of crimson eyes burning with anger and killing intent, a bold and evil thought suddenly emerged from his heart, influenced by the Heart Evil Technique.
His other hand slowly reached towards the girl’s luxurious palace gown...
This outfit... it kind of looks like the Mao Family’s attire?
"What are you trying to do?! How dare you! Scoundrel! Jerk! Villain!"
Xu Xinming was completely flustered, struggling violently, and for the first time, fear appeared in those violent crimson eyes.
She could endure being killed but absolutely could not tolerate being humiliated by a man she despised!
However, her struggles seemed so pale and powerless in the face of Chen Ye’s iron clamp-like grip.
Chen Ye said nothing, but the playful smile on his face grew increasingly cruel, "Will you speak or not?"
"Never!" Xu Xinming’s mouth was very, very stubborn, more so than Chen Ye had imagined.
His hand ultimately fell upon that luxurious palace gown.
"Rip——!"
A crisp tearing of fabric resounded in the silent cave, so sharp.
A large area of snow-white skin, as fine as top-quality lamb fat jade, was instantly exposed to the air.
An exquisite collarbone, graceful neck, and the unique delicate curves of a young girl were all displayed before Chen Ye’s eyes.
