802 Three Women, One Snake, One Man (3)
The screams became even more heart-rending.
Xu Qing paid no attention and tossed the ice fragments to Yanyan. Once again, he reached out and the second wisp of Smoke Race arrived. This time, Xu Qing didn’t use ice; instead, he used poison.
The poison dispersed and rapidly merged with the smoke. The poison not only affected its body but also corroded its soul.
Hence, the tragic wails rang throughout the cabin even more intensely.
Yanyan’s excitement soared further. Those tragic cries were like the most beautiful melody in her ears.
This wasn’t the end. Xu Qing coldly spoke.
“Tear off a piece of your cloth for me.”
Yanyan was extremely obedient. She immediately tore off a large piece of clothes on her body. Because she used too much strength, it revealed her skin that was covered in scars.
However, she didn’t care at all. She quickly crawled in front of Xu Qing like a puppy and handed the cloth over with both hands.
Taking hold of the cloth, Xu Qing gave a slight wave, causing it to dampen while carrying a sealing power. Then, he retrieved the third wisp of Smoke Race and pressed it directly onto the cloth.
Immediately, the fabric turned black and the figure of the Smoke Race was clearly revealed.
Xu Qing threw it to Yanyan and calmly spoke.
“This way, it will lose the freedom of its body and soul.”
“Blindly pursuing physical cruelty, whether towards oneself or enemies, is just one means among many, not the entirety. Overindulging in it demonstrates immaturity.”
“The torture of mind is a higher level.”
Xu Qing calmly spoke.
Yanyan’s body trembled and her red lips parted slightly. The more she was reprimanded by Xu Qing, the more intense the joy she felt. The infatuation in her eyes reached the extreme. She lifted her hand and bit her finger, handing it to Xu Qing slowly.
Xu Qing’s gaze turned cold.
Yanyan lowered her head and retracted her finger, placing it in her mouth to suck.
The accumulated frustrations within her consciousness were rapidly dissipating, and her cultivation seemed to be rising.
However, it was still a little lacking.
Almost at the instant he lifted his finger, Yanyan immediately crawled over and rapidly sucked on it. Her eyes narrowed and she seemed to be about to sublimate. Her expression revealed extreme comfort, revealing unprecedented satisfaction.
It was as though she had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Her Heavenly Palace suddenly formed at this moment!
The shock to her heart became overwhelming, causing Yanyan to lose consciousness.
At the next instant, Esteemed Master Dongyou’s grateful voice rang out from outside the cabin.
Immediately after, Yanyan’s body disappeared and was moved away by Esteemed Master Dongyou, leaving the warship.
The cabin was completely silent.
A long time later, Ling’er stuck her head out of Xu Qing’s collar and stared blankly at the place where Yanyan was at earlier. Xu Qing felt a little awkward and was about to explain when Ling’er suddenly gasped.
“Brother Xu Qing, this is a demon. She’s even worse than the one before. She actually bit your finger. You have to be careful!”
Before Xu Qing could speak, a gentle laugh echoed in the cabin.
“What a cute little girl.”
As soon as this voice rang out, Xu Qing’s body instantly stiffened.
When Ding Xue appeared, he could ignore her; when Yanyan arrived, he could suppress her. However, within this Eight Sects Alliance, there was a woman who managed to unsettle Xu Qing’s state of mind every time they crossed paths.
Whether it was the first meeting where she hooked her chin, the ever-changing style when they traveled in the ship, the lingering gaze within the county capital, or the bare-skin confrontation during the protective spell—
What you knew, she understood better than you did; what you didn’t understand, she still understands.
What you knew, she understood them even better than you did; what you didn’t understand, she still understood.
She knew what you were thinking in your heart; even the thoughts you weren’t aware of, it seemed she understood them too.
As the voice echoed and Xu Qing’s body instinctively stiffened, this peerless beauty walked over from the void.
Dressed in a white gown with subtle purple accents, she wore a matching moon-patterned silk belt around her waist. Her lustrous black hair was styled in a princess bun, adorned with a hairpin featuring a pearl flower, with tassels cascading from it.
Her exquisitely beautiful face bore finely arched eyebrows, and her eyes sparkled like stars.
Yet, on her face that seemed to smile and not smile, there was a hint of resentment, a touch of sorrow, as she gazed at Xu Qing.
This person was the peerless Fairy Zi Xuan.
Ling’er’s eyes suddenly widened and she instinctively hid.
Xu Qing took a deep breath and stood up to bow.
Zi Xuan chuckled lightly and walked naturally towards Xu Qing. She raised her hand to brush away some dust that had fallen onto him, ensuring that none of it tainted even a single strand of his clothes.
She then tidied the creases on his clothes.
After that, she looked deeply into Xu Qing’s eyes. The moment their eyes met, she spoke softly.
“It’s good that you’re safe.”
A simple sentence, just five words, yet it contained care, concern, worry, and longing. All these emotions converged within those five words, vividly conveying themselves into Xu Qing’s heart, warming him.
Xu Qing’s body trembled. Unknowingly, this warmth spread to his heart, causing his stiff body to relax a little. He allowed Zi Xuan to hold his hand and sit at the side.
