Chapter 55: Shameless Thief!
Feeling the coldness in Xiao Yuan's voice and the icy Dou Qi from the large hand at the back of her neck, Xiao Yixian's delicate body trembled slightly.
This young man had actually immediately figured out that she was holding poison!
"W-what do you want?"
Xiao Yixian instinctively tried to struggle, but the hand around her waist tightened painfully, and the chill at her neck grew even stronger. She didn't dare to move recklessly again.
At this moment, from a distance, it looked as if Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yixian were a couple embracing after a narrow escape from death.
"Hmm, of course I'm going to silence you permanently."
Xiao Yuan chuckled lightly as he spoke.
Hearing this, Xiao Yixian bit her lip, her delicate fists trembling slightly.
If this guy truly meant to kill her, then even if it cost her life, she'd find a way to take him down with her!
Just a mere Two-Star Dou Fighter!
With that thought, Xiao Yixian's pretty face turned red. Then she bit her lip and said softly:
"Don't kill me! I'll do anything you want!"
Xiao Yuan raised an eyebrow, a playful glint flashing in his eyes. He leaned close to her ear and teased:
"Oh? Anything?"
As he spoke, the hand around her waist subtly moved.
Feeling the improper motion and the warm breath brushing against her ear, sending a tingling sensation through her body, Xiao Yixian stiffened completely.
"Hm? You're unwilling? But you're the one who said I could do anything I want."
Xiao Yuan grinned more widely, continuing his teasing whispers.
Xiao Yixian bit her lip tightly, closed her eyes, and her eyelashes trembled. She looked every bit the image of a violated maiden physician.
One day, I'll poison this bastard in a thousand ways and kill him for sure!
Smack!
In the next moment, Xiao Yuan's hand audaciously slapped her shapely rear.
"Y-you... shameless!"
Startled by the sudden pain, Xiao Yixian furrowed her brows slightly. But afraid that yelling too much might provoke him into snapping her neck, she could only blush and stammer in protest, her tone oddly suggestive.
Hearing her words, Xiao Yuan narrowed his eyes and leaned in to gently bite her tender earlobe.
!!
Xiao Yixian felt as if a jolt of electricity surged through her body from her ear. Her limbs went soft.
Sensing that her once-stiff waist had loosened, Xiao Yuan took the liberty of groping her again.
"Feel that? I've got teeth."
Xiao Yuan laughed softly in her ear.
Caught off guard, Xiao Yixian's mind went blank. She regained her senses only after hearing his loathsome voice again and whimpered softly, "You might as well kill me..."
Despair began to rise in her heart. Rather than endure this pervert's molestation, she'd rather die. Whatever he planned to do with her corpse afterward didn't matter—she wouldn't feel a thing.
Worst case, she could poison herself. When the shameless bastard tried anything, they'd die together.
"All right, all right. A beauty like you—I wouldn't bear to kill you."
Hearing her despondent tone, Xiao Yuan chuckled. Then, with a surge of icy Dou Qi in the hand that had slapped her earlier, he reached behind and froze the powder in her hand into a solid lump of ice.
Then, letting go with his left hand, he grabbed her right hand and spun her with a sharp tug of his right.
"You—!"
Xiao Yixian stumbled as she was forcibly spun like some dancer performing for this damned man. When she stopped, she glared at him with wide, furious eyes.
"What? Not satisfied? Should we keep going? Make the earth our bed and the sky our blanket, and do what we both enjoy?"
Xiao Yuan's expression turned cold, his lips curling into a chilling smirk.
Seeing this, Xiao Yixian realized—this man's strength was real, and he could kill her easily. It was best to play along for now.
"What do you want? There are nearly a hundred mercenaries outside! If I die, you won't make it out either!"
Xiao Yixian bit her lip and asked weakly.
"Maybe I won't get out alive, but you definitely won't live to see it. And while I may not be able to kill them all at once, I could kill several each time until they're all dead."
Xiao Yuan shrugged casually.
Xiao Yixian's breath caught. How could someone so handsome have such a cruel heart?
"Then what exactly do you want?!"
She huffed angrily, her chest heaving with indignation.
"Heh, you're the one who snuck through the woods, saw me leave, and then followed me and found the cave. I didn't kill you on the spot—what do you think I want?"
Xiao Yuan smiled, his eyes scanning her slender waist.
So slim. So smooth.
"I-I won't tell anyone!"
Xiao Yixian instantly understood what he meant, but in her current state, she didn't dare respond directly. If she agreed outright, she might be devoured to the bone.
But truthfully, she had no bargaining power.
"If I toss you off this cliff, you won't get the chance to say anything. Then I'll grab whatever's in that cave, run into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, train until I'm a Da Dou Shi, and return to flatten Qing Shan Town. How's that sound?"
Xiao Yuan spoke as he stepped toward her.
"I—"
Xiao Yixian realized she had no way out. She turned her head, closed her eyes, and bit her lip, looking like a helpless maiden submitting to her fate.
Seeing her trembling form, Xiao Yuan smiled and took a pill from his storage ring before stepping forward.
Hearing footsteps approach, Xiao Yixian's body trembled even more.
In the next moment, she felt a hand grip her face and force her head straight, then pry open her mouth. A spicy pill was shoved in.
"Ugh, cough, cough!"
The pill slid down her throat, and its lingering spicy sensation made her choke.
"What did you make me eat?!"
Xiao Yixian opened her eyes and glared at him.
"Poison, of course. Aren't you supposed to be an expert? Can't tell?"
Xiao Yuan grinned.
"You—!"
Xiao Yixian clenched her teeth, furious.
"Now's not the right time to explore the cave. Meet me here at midnight. I'll give you the antidote and let you join me. Or you can expose me to the mercenaries and gamble with your life."
Xiao Yuan spoke nonchalantly.
The mercenaries were all below the Dou Shi level. He couldn't kill them all at once, but if he wanted to leave—with Xiao Yixian over his shoulder—he could definitely force his way out.
Xiao Yixian was stunned. Was this guy insane? If that happened, wouldn't she be the one getting the better deal? There had to be a trick.
Seeing her suspicious look, Xiao Yuan smirked.
"What? Don't want to agree? Should I just take you now, hmm?"
"You shameless scoundrel! Threatening a weak girl like this! Do I even have a choice?! Fine—I'll do it!"
Xiao Yixian bit her lip and answered reluctantly.
"Heh, let's go. We've been out too long. Time to head back."
Xiao Yuan smiled and turned toward the forest.
"Hmph!"
Xiao Yixian stomped her foot in frustration but had no choice except to follow behind angrily.
