The man had smooth and delicate skin, beautiful eyebrows and eyes, a noble temperament, and bright red lips, as if he had just drunk blood, but his expression was full of compassion. Anyone who saw him would be immersed in his melancholy and deep eyes, wanting to help him solve his problems and smooth out his frown.
The handsome man stared at Lan Zhi and said, "The flowers and plants you pulled just now are very painful. You should apologize to them."
Lan Zhi: “…”
She was silent for a moment, lowered her eyes to look at the flowers and plants on the ground, and said sincerely: "I'm sorry."
After she finished speaking, she looked up at the man and found a hint of surprise in his eyes. It seemed that he didn't expect that she would really apologize. Shouldn't a normal person be tougher and refuse to apologize?
The handsome man thought for a moment and then said, "A verbal apology is not enough. You must kneel down and apologize."
Lan Zhi said, "I'm sorry, I can't agree to this."
Hearing this, the handsome man relaxed his brows, a delighted smile forming on the corners of his lips. He said, "Your apology is insincere. According to the rules, I will subject you to Ling Chi."
After saying that, his body flashed and instantly appeared beside Lan Zhi.
The handsome man raised his hand and grabbed Lan Zhi's wrist.
His hands were icy cold to the bone. Even through her clothes, Lan Zhi could feel his icy body temperature, as if ice was wrapped around her wrists.
At the same time, this icy breath continued to spread throughout Lan Zhi's body, making her frozen in place like an ice sculpture, unable to escape. Apart from breathing, blinking and speaking, even moving her fingers was very difficult.
The corners of Lan Zhi's lips curled up, but soon returned to normal. She did not rush to sacrifice the green flame, but pretended to be unable to resist.
The handsome man uttered a soft "Huh?" and brought his face closer to Lan Zhi. With his nose twitching, he sniffed at Lan Zhi's neck and said, "You smell like me."
The same scent?
Although the beautiful man is in human form, he has a pair of green eyes and is obviously a ferocious beast.
Lan Zhi explained: "There are many ferocious beasts in the secret realm, and I have come into contact with them."
"No, not them." The handsome man's hand was still holding Lan Zhi's wrist, but his face was slightly further away from Lan Zhi. He said, "Those despicable creatures are not worthy of being called my kind."
Lan Zhi thought of Zhu Tong, who was the first ferocious beast that could transform into a human form that she had ever encountered. The "same species" that the man was referring to should be Zhu Tong?
"Judging from your expression, you must have understood who I'm talking about..." The handsome man smiled slightly, his tea-green eyes flashing with excitement. He said, "As long as you take me to see that fellow, I can spare your life."
Lan Zhi sighed softly, "Thank you so much for letting me go, but I only ran into her once by chance. I'm not familiar with her and can't find her..."
"You're lying!" His tea-green eyes narrowed slightly, and the handsome man's face once again approached Lan Zhi's earlobe. He exhaled a cold breath and said, "You have a strong smell of your kind, which means that my kind has been in close contact with you for a long time... You don't want to take me to find her. Are you afraid that I will hurt her?"
"Yeah." Since it has been discovered, there is no need to lie, so Lan Zhi admitted it directly.
The gorgeous man asked again, "Why are you defending her? Is she your sweetheart?"
Lan Zhi said: "No, she treats me very well, so I can't betray her."
"Really? I'll torture you to death piece by piece, and see if you can hold on..." The handsome man looked cold, and took out a dagger from his sleeve, intending to gouge out Lan Zhi's eyes first.
But as soon as he raised his hand, he found a blue flame burning on the dagger.
The blade melted away bit by bit, and tongues of fire swept up.
His fingers burned, and the man suddenly let go of his hand. He looked at Lan Zhi with a look of surprise and doubt, and said, "You are..."
Lan Zhi's body was still frozen in place, and she looked confused. "What's wrong with me?"
"Weren't you the one causing the fire just now?"
Lan Zhi blinked her eyes and didn't say anything, but her expression was innocent.
The handsome man looked around and found no one hiding nearby. When he turned his head back, he found that Lan Zhi had disappeared!
No, it didn’t disappear, it seemed to become invisible?
The handsome man sniffed the air, trying to identify Lan Zhi's location, but before he could figure it out, his body was surrounded by a huge green lotus.
Every petal of the blue lotus is made up of flames. The flames flow, and the high temperature evaporates the air into scorching air waves. The temperature around it rises steadily, as if even the air is about to burn.
Even so, the flowers and plants on the ground still stretch their branches and leaves contentedly in the wind.
The beautiful man surrounded by the blue lotus flames was not afraid of the scorching heat. His body was still as cold as ice and snow. His body temperature even affected the temperature of the flames, causing them to gradually cool down.
"This fire... is very interesting, but unfortunately it is useless to me." A smile appeared on the face of the handsome man. He raised his hand, and overwhelming cold air poured down, freezing the green lotus. Strands of cold air spread around, and soon the ground of the entire mountain was frozen.
The human body has temperature. The man tried to search for the scent of orchid through the temperature changes in the air, but what puzzled him was that the whole mountain was dead silent and cold, with no trace of living people at all.
Where are the people?
He had sealed off the space in this area. There was no way Lan Zhi could escape underground, but it was even less likely that she could escape from this "mountain" anytime soon. So, the question was, where had she gone?
