"Huaiye".
Yan Ning's voice was as soft as honey, and her eyes were incredibly charming, "Won't you stay a little longer before you leave?"
She approached gracefully.
She was wearing Yan Ning's favorite scarlet dress.
Her hair was combed into a bun with perfect precision.
Xie Huaiye froze, his heart skipped a beat. Could it really be Yan Ning?
Yan Ning had already walked up to him.
Too close.
I could smell her unfamiliar, sweet fragrance.
Why aren't you saying anything?
She chuckled softly, her fingertips boldly touching his chest.
wrong……
Alarm bells rang in Xie Huaiye's mind!
Yan Ning would never look at him like that, much less touch him like that.
That look in their eyes was so naked, so greedy.
"You are not her."
Xie Huaiye snapped back to his senses, his voice cold and hard as iron.
Yan Ning's smile froze, then she pressed closer to him in an even sweeter tone:
"What are you saying? I am your Yan Ning..."
She tiptoed and leaned her red lips toward him.
"Get out of my way!"
In a flash, Xie Huaiye did not hesitate at all, and he shoved Yan Ning's shoulders with both hands.
"ah--!"
Fake Yan Ning had no idea he would resist like this.
She staggered backward from the force of the shove!
"Thump."
Her back slammed heavily against the hard, carved screen.
The screen shook violently, emitting a painful groan.
She scrambled to regain her balance.
She looked up, and the feigned gentleness and sweetness on her face vanished instantly.
His eyes revealed undisguised astonishment and anger at being offended.
A strange red light flashed quickly across her eyes.
Xie Huaiye was breathing heavily, his chest heaving violently.
He stared at that familiar yet utterly unfamiliar face, his eyes sharp as knives, each word spoken with unwavering resolve:
"Don't touch me! You're not her!"
The air seemed to freeze.
Only the candlelight flickered uneasily.
At that moment, a terrifying red light flashed in Yan Ning's eyes.
She transformed back into Ye Qingling.
"Tsk, that's really clever."
Ye Qingling's voice turned icy cold, "As expected of the perfect vessel I carefully selected!"
Upon seeing this, Xie Huaiye immediately realized that he had been captured by a monster!
"Open the door! Open the door!"
He immediately turned around and pounded on the closed door.
The wooden door remained completely still.
Despair coiled around his heart like a cold snake.
Just then, Ye Qingling made a move.
Her figure moved as fast as a ghost, rushing straight towards us with a gust of cold wind!
The cold arms wrapped around Xie Huaiye's neck like venomous snakes.
The sharp nails almost pierced his skin.
"Ugh." A feeling of suffocation suddenly struck.
Buzz—!
At this critical moment.
The spirit jade pendant worn close to Xie Huaiye's neck suddenly burst forth with a dazzling white light.
A powerful force slammed into Ye Qingling.
"Ah!" A piercing scream rang out.
Ye Qingling was forcefully thrown back by this force.
He fell heavily to the ground a few steps away.
"Cough cough cough..."
Xie Huaiye covered his neck and coughed violently.
He gasped for breath, his heart pounding, having survived the ordeal.
It was the protective jade given to him by Yan Ning that saved him!
Ye Qingling scrambled to her feet, a strange trail of black blood hanging from the corner of her mouth.
She stared at the jade pendant around Xie Huaiye's neck, its light gradually fading.
Instead of showing fear, he revealed a chilling smile:
"Heh, a protective magic artifact? What a good thing... What a pity!"
She licked the blood from the corner of her mouth.
His eyes turned incredibly greedy and crazed. "You can hold them off for a while, but not forever!"
Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly jumped up again.
This time, the five fingers of her right hand suddenly stretched out and deformed.
The skin peeled away, revealing stark white bones.
Like the claws of a vengeful ghost, it swiftly grabbed at the jade pendant!
"No, Lingyu!"
Xie Huaiye tried to dodge, but it was too late.
The white bone claw gripped the warm, smooth jade tightly.
"Smash it!"
Ye Qingling shrieked and suddenly exerted force with her five fingers.
"Crack! Thud—!!!"
The jade pendant could not withstand the terrifying demonic power and shattered instantly.
A shockwave of energy, several times more powerful than before, suddenly erupted.
It was like a dazzling little sun exploding in the private room.
"puff--!"
Ye Qingling was the first to be affected.
He was violently thrown back by the raging energy and crashed into the wall.
She spat out a mouthful of black blood, and her life force instantly weakened.
Her gorgeous dress was torn in several places.
It revealed dark blue-green skin underneath that didn't resemble a human.
However, her eyes gleamed with ecstatic joy:
"Hahaha! Good, good, good! It's finally broken! This nuisance is gone!"
She struggled to her feet, ignoring her disheveled appearance and injuries.
His eyes blazed red as he greedily stared at the swaying Xie Huaiye:
"Now...you're mine!"
She pounced again, and this time there was no resistance.
Her icy, bone-chilling body clung tightly to Xie Huaiye.
He took a sharp breath down his neck!
"Ughhhhhh—!"
An indescribable, excruciating pain instantly swept over Xie Huaiye's entire body.
He felt his life, his strength, his warmth...
It felt like being frantically pulled away by an invisible tube.
The veins under the skin bulged out, and the eyes were bloodshot.
The body convulsed violently and uncontrollably.
A chilling despair and an overwhelming sense of weakness engulfed him.
Vision began to darken...
Meanwhile, in another elegant room.
