Xu Xiwang's words were tinged with disdain.

Although he was usually carefree and irresponsible, he wasn't stupid. Ye Honglian was clearly trying to test his true strength.

"you......"

Ye Honglian's face turned pale.

I didn't expect it to be seen through so easily.

Upon hearing this, Ye Honglian's eyes darted around, and she feigned sudden realization: "Since Young Master Xu has guessed it, then I won't pretend anymore. That's right, I was sent by Young Master Zhou~"

After she finished speaking, she let out another burst of giggles.

Xu Xiwang was confused by her. What exactly was this woman up to?

Is there something wrong with his/her brain?

"Did he say that you were sent to test my strength, and most importantly, to annoy me so that I could get revenge for how I annoyed him back then?"

Xu Xiwang asked with a cold smile.

"That's right."

Ye Honglian nodded.

What else did he say?

Xu Xiwang pressed for more information.

"He also said that we should have a good talk, as he's very curious about Young Master Xu."

Ye Honglian's gaze fell on Xu Xiwang, her fiery eyes sending chills down one's spine and igniting a burning desire within.

This woman is definitely a vixen!

"I'm too lazy to fight you. Frost, you teach this woman, whose skin is even thicker than mine, a lesson."

Xu Xiwang waved his hand and looked at Ning Hanshuang beside him.

"good."

Ning Hanshuang remained the same icy beauty as she slowly approached Ye Honglian.

"Young Master Xu, we seem to have a connection, so why don't we make a deal?"

Ye Honglian suddenly said.

"An agreement?" Xu Xiwang raised an eyebrow.

"Let's make a bet. If I win, you crawl between my legs; if I lose..."

At this point, Ye Honglian paused, a sinister glint flashing in her bright, beautiful eyes.

"I've lost. I'm at Young Master Xu's disposal!"

Xu Xiwang turned to look at Ning Hanshuang, then at Ye Honglian. It was hard to say who would win between the two of them.

After all, Ning Hanshuang possessed an ice-type spiritual body, allowing her to cultivate at an extremely fast pace in the special environment of the Dragon Mansion.

Moreover, ever since the higher-ups of the Dragon Mansion learned that Xu Xiwang possessed the Chaos God Body, they have provided him with a great deal of resources and support. Xu Xiwang has distributed a significant portion of these resources to Ning Hanshuang and Su Xiaorou.

Ning Hanshuang has already reached the seventh level of Qi and Blood in just one month.

However, Xu Xi believed that Ye Honglian wouldn't be much worse off; the 26th ranked on the potential list was definitely stronger than Zheng Sanqiang, who was ranked 36th.

Just as Xu Xiwang was pondering, Ning Hanshuang parted her lips and said, "Miss Ye, let me give you a piece of advice: don't try to play tricks on Xiwang, because... you can't outsmart me."

Ning Hanshuang's indifferent gaze was like a still lake, without the slightest ripple.

"Yeah?"

Ye Honglian snorted coldly, her expression changing slightly. Then, she raised her slender fingers, and streams of spiritual energy gathered at her fingertips. "Then let's have a contest."

"Hey, hey, hey, there's a battleground inside the villa. Don't fight in the yard. Who's going to compensate me if you ruin this beautiful view?"

Upon seeing this, Xu Xiwang hurriedly shouted.

The group entered the villa's battle arena. Xu Xi waved his hand, and the battle arena activated.

Ning Hanshuang stood there in a blue dress, like an ice sculpture. Her cold and unwavering temperament enveloped her in a thin layer of ice. In her hand was a blue longsword, its blade gleaming and exuding a chilling aura.

Ye Honglian wore a red dress, her long hair cascading down her shoulders, and her phoenix eyes were extremely charming.

She sized up Ning Hanshuang, her eyes full of disdain.

She slowly drew a long whip made of golden nanmu wood from her waist, and swung it around in the air a few times. Red flames wrapped around the whip, making a crackling sound.

"Hmm, this whip is nice."

Xu Xiwang exclaimed in admiration.

"Young Master Xu is indeed very knowledgeable; this long side of mine is an A-grade spiritual artifact."

Ye Honglian said.

"I wonder if it would hurt a lot to use it to spank your butt..."

Xu Xiwang narrowed his eyes, a cold smile playing on his lips.

Ye Honglian's smile froze instantly. "You!"

"puff."

Su Xiaorou couldn't help but chuckle as she watched Xu Xiwang retort. She covered her mouth and chuckled to herself.

Young Master is so wicked!

"bring it on!"

Ning Hanshuang raised her longsword, and wherever the blade touched, a cold light flashed, and ice flowers bloomed.

The icy petals shimmered like ice crystals, and one by one they drifted down, landing on Ye Honglian's body, instantly covering her with a thick layer of ice.

Ye Honglian frowned, as if facing a formidable enemy.

This woman is not just the forty-ninth on the potential list!

According to intelligence, Ning Hanshuang was at most at the fourth level of Qi and Blood, but now it seems she is at least at the seventh level of Qi and Blood!

How can you improve so quickly!

She gave a cold laugh, flames swirling around the long whip in her hand. With a flick of her arm, the icy petals shattered instantly, turning into powder.

"Overestimating yourself!"

With that, Ye Honglian stomped her foot and charged towards Ning Hanshuang.
