Upon realizing that he was acting completely out of control, Yan Quan was greatly alarmed.

Unfortunately, he had no way to stop himself. And so, he walked step by step through the magnificent palace and arrived at a private bathhouse.

He didn't encounter anyone on the way until he arrived at the misty bathhouse, where he finally saw the culprit, the pink-furred fox.

"Come down and wash up, I don't like being dirty."

A cold, clear voice came from behind him, and Yan Quan realized that he could control his actions.

Although I was speechless, judging from Hu Yunxi's tone, it seemed like we could finally have a talk.

"What, are you going to continue after you've finished washing?"

I thought you were more successful...

Yan Quan scoffed, then nonchalantly entered the pool, though at least he could keep his distance from the beautiful figure in the distance.

Shut up!

If you hadn't shown up at this time, I wouldn't have...

"Hmph, still the same as before, resorting to verbal sparring when all else fails."

Fox Cloud's voice came again, but this time it was more urgent and embarrassed.

"Although you can heal my external injuries, I won't live much longer in this condition. As long as I do nothing, you can't stop me from suddenly dying and leaving this world in a few dozen days or even a few days."

So I'll say what I want to say, and you can just hurry up and tell me how you want to torture me.

Yan Quan sneered, then casually enjoyed the temperature of the pool water, looking up as if deep in thought.

"..."

Hu Yunxi's voice suddenly fell silent, with only the soft sound of water slowly approaching Yan Quan.

"You must be wondering why I slaughtered their entire tribe, even though you begged me to spare your dearest friend, that woman from the Wu tribe..."

Unfortunately, my personality wouldn't allow me to do that. If she also had a powerful backing, perhaps I would have kept her to avoid trouble.

Moreover, their clan has slaughtered too many lives among humans, and each of them has the despicable ability to use human flesh and blood to enhance their cultivation. Killing them will allow me to get some benefits from the Dao Alliance..."

Yan Quan continued, turning his gaze back to the pristine, perfect body before him.

"Controlling me is useless... I've sealed all the important information with a restriction, and any forced touch will immediately trigger the restriction."

"If you don't believe me, you can test whether your magic is more powerful or my restrictions are more effective."

Yan Quan said with an indifferent expression, "I've always been like this, and she won't doubt that I'm just putting on an act."

All of this made it seem as if he had resigned himself to his fate and was simply seeking death.

"Would someone like you willingly die like this?"

"I was unwilling, but fate wouldn't cooperate with me, so what could I do?"

"Once you die, I will find all your loved ones and torture them all to death..."

"I'm already dead, so Hu Yunxi... it's up to you."

This is the result you wanted.

"...

Heh heh heh, Yan Quan, I don't believe you'd willingly die.

"Tell me, what do you want to do with me? What do you want?"

A few drops of blood dripped from Hu Yunxi's tightly clenched white hands into the pool water, and she suddenly spoke in a soft tone.

"..."

Yan Quan didn't speak, but silently watched as Hu Yunxi lowered her body in front of him again.

"Don't worry, I mean what I say. Although I hate you, I still love you madly and helplessly in my heart. I can't let you die."

Indeed, I will never live up to your expectations.

But, but you must, you must only be mine, forever!

"Hehe, now and from now on, as long as I'm happy, I'll prepare whatever you want. Restoring your cultivation isn't out of the question...hehehe."

Fox Clouds smiled, her beautiful eyes sparkling. She seemed to have figured something out, and there was no trace of panic in her voice.

She brought her small mouth close to Yan Quan, but didn't kiss him, waiting for Yan Quan's own thoughts.

"Or, you can challenge me to see if I can find a way to make you wish you were dead, forcing you to live on..."

Hu Yunxi continued calmly, her face drawing even closer until her body was pressed tightly against hers.

Yan Quan chuckled lightly, his eyes not changing much. He gently lifted Hu Yunxi's face and kissed her as she wished.

It seems these girls have misunderstood him a bit. He was too lazy to pursue romance and fulfill their desires before simply because it wasn't in his best interest at the time...

It's not that I'm being aloof, or that doing so would make me feel uncomfortable.

He was never a righteous gentleman.

He was just a guy who crawled out of the mud and was determined to climb upwards, covered in mud.
