Chapter 246 A Five-Person Showdown (Part Two)
Did you cry?
This time, not only Luo Chuan, but also Wen Jin, Shen Yu, and even Lian Zhuo couldn't help but frown.
The young man before him was like a sea anemone ravaged by wind and rain, so fragile that he would shatter at the slightest touch. It was as if Luo Chuan, who was opposite him, had not only spoken two sentences, but was some monstrous flood about to devour him whole.
...
But a fox spirit is still a fox spirit.
In just a few breaths, Luo Chuan's stiff lips curled up again, the curve even more alluring and beautiful than before.
Yan Xi paused in his action of dropping the pearl, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes.
This demon king is quite a troublesome fellow.
Luo Chuan did not back down; instead, he took a step forward. His demonic aura spread like a living creature, and the chilling pressure precisely locked onto Yan Xi.
"Oh......"
A short, sharp laugh, like cracking ice, escaped Luo Chuan's throat. He spoke casually, "What a pitiful sight, like a pear blossom in the rain... but..."
The Demon King's voice suddenly lowered, hissing like a venomous snake against one's ear, a chilling analysis: "I'd like to know, how have you, so weak and helpless, survived until now in the dog-eat-dog world of cultivation?"
"Or... is this one of your usual tricks?"
Ao Bai almost wanted to give the Demon Consort a thumbs up, "It has to be you, Luo Chuan, you hit the nail on the head. The little bird has finally met its match."
Hua Li had no idea how the conflict had suddenly spread to Yan Xi. She wanted to say something, but her intuition told her that it was best to stay silent.
Yan Xi's murderous intent grew stronger, but his crying became more and more intense.
"Huali, is this the loving family you were talking about?" Yan Xi seemed unable to bear the other party's malice. "It seems... they don't really welcome me."
"Hey, no, little bird, don't... eh?"
Before Huali could finish speaking, Yanxi had already buried his face in the crook of Huali's neck before anyone could react.
The moment the scalding pearl slid down Huali's neck and into her clothes, the Nine Spirits Netherfire, accompanied by Wen Jin's chilling voice, rang out, "You! Are! Seeking! Death!"
"Let's talk this out, no need to resort to violence!" The moment Huali threw out the earth-type card, she shoved Yan Xi aside and started jumping on the spot.
Wen Jin's previously simmering, icy anger froze on his face, a barely perceptible hint of hurt flashing in his eyes. "You're helping him?"
Yan Xi, who was suddenly pushed away by Hua Li, also froze. According to the plan, Hua Li should have felt sorry for him and cherished him...
However, Huali couldn't care less about the sensitive feelings of these innocent big shots; she really couldn't tolerate it anymore.
The little bird's tears turned into tiny pearls, rolling down the curve of her back, over her shoulder blades and waist. The fine, itchy sensation was as uncomfortable as a strand of hair getting into her clothes.
With so many people around, and not being able to reach out with her hands, she could only tap dance in place.
Lian Zhuo noticed something amiss, and just as her fingertips were about to form a hand seal, "Snap—"
Little Pearl had already slid down the inside of Huali's smooth calves under her advances.
Luo Chuan's cold smile froze at the same moment. When his heterochromatic eyes swept over the silver chain on Hua Li's leg, his Adam's apple bobbed very slightly. He took a deep breath to hide and suppress the unbearable turmoil surging in his heart.
The girl's shimmering skirt rippled with her movements, pearls like falling stars gently brushing against the wrapped silver chains, startling the butterflies perched on them, and then sliding down the delicate skin of her inner calves.
The lotus patterns that had just been suppressed in Lian Zhuo turned red again, and beneath her lowered eyelashes, an undercurrent churned, completely opposite to her holy appearance.
The backlash from this blood gu is growing stronger, and suppression alone won't be able to sustain it for much longer...
Unaware of what she had inadvertently brought to the fore, Karin finally stopped.
She had just breathed a sigh of relief when the scent of the early morning sun on the grassland enveloped her waist.
The clean scent of sun-dried grass made Huali recognize who it was without even looking. "Young Master, what are you doing?"
At this moment, the young general's face was no longer just red, but bright red!
“You…” Shen Yu tried to reclaim her sharp-tongued persona, but she immediately lost her composure when she met Hua Li’s eyes. “You look very beautiful in this dress…”
Huali: "? Then why are you still wearing it?"
Just as she was about to tear off her outer robe, Wen Jin's fingertips flickered with a ghostly fire that swept across the lake like a night breeze. Silently, it drew anyone with filthy, lewd eyes into an invisible vortex.
A short, agonizing scream was suddenly swallowed up by the crowd.
After Yan Xi slowly turned his head and saw the faces of those people clearly, his gaze returned to a pair of cold eyes.
In the crowd.
Li Yuan clenched his fists, his obsidian-like eyes fixed on the smiling, affectionate girl standing in the middle of the group.
He made harsh statements and vows, thinking he could face it calmly and build up his defenses.
Even on his journey to Linfeng County, he had envisioned that when they met again, he would be with Ranran.
So that Huali would know that he... doesn't need her, and if she can't be with him, there are others who are willing to be with him!
But right now, just looking at him from afar in the crowd, the fortress he had painstakingly built was already teetering on the brink of collapse.
Li Yuan's gaze seemed to take root, and an uncontrollable impulse surged through his chest.
Three hundred years have passed in the vast ocean. He was the one who met her first, so why was he the one who missed out in the end?!
Li Yuan stared intently at Yan Xi beside Hua Li. He had been by her side all along. Had they been inseparable for all these centuries?
He was just a sacrifice, why should he be?!
Li Yuan's knuckles turned white as he stepped out of the shadows, about to rush forward and confront him without hesitation—
"Whoosh."
The jade-shaped bone fan was precisely positioned in front of Li Yuan, blocking his path.
Wen Tingyun had a gentle smile on his lips, but his eyes revealed a cold indifference that seemed to see through everything and an imperceptible irritation. "Li Yuan, do you know what you're doing?"
The suffocating look in Li Yuan's eyes instantly vanished. He turned his head and growled, "Get out! My affairs are none of your business."
However, the smiling tiger, who was usually ruthless in the shadows, unusually put away his smile at this moment.
These words were like a spark, igniting the complex emotions that welled up in Wen Tingyun's heart when he saw the girl emerging from her cocoon like a butterfly.
The moment the jade-bone fan was closed by slender fingers, the young man in the rosewood wheelchair slowly raised his head.
Wen Tingyun's eyes were calm, yet they held a rare hint of ruthlessness and coldness. "Who do you think you're talking to?"
