Instinctive Reaction

The catchy melody and Xia Yu song brought back the nightmare that Kaecilius had almost forgotten during the intense battle.

Looking back on the past few days, I couldn't concentrate, and melodies would pop into my head from time to time, and I would even hum a few lines involuntarily.

Kaecilius's eyes instantly turned red.

The anger level instantly spiked.

At this moment, hatred and disgust for Xia Yu surpassed everything else.

"Shut up!!"

Kaecilius shouted something truly earth-shattering, his anger reaching its peak.

Xia Yu readily complied, immediately stopping singing and even flashing a slight smile as he spoke to Kaecilius.

"What's wrong? Don't you like this song? It's okay, I can choose another one!"

Xia Yu not only had a smile on his face, but it was also genuinely sincere.

How to describe Kaecilius's state of mind at this moment? It's like you're playing League of Legends and a Singed player cuts your lane and steals your tower. You chase after him, but he runs away. As you chase, you realize you're about to die from the poison, but when you want to go back, he comes to harass you.

Then you get played to death several times, and you want revenge, but each time the result is the same.

Finally, you gave up. When the team fight came, the Alchemist was brought to low health. You flashed over to get revenge, and just as your skill was about to hit him...

To your despair, you discover that someone else has gained a shield, and then you get ganged up on and your screen goes black.

The worst part is that the alchemist still took your head, and then he danced on your corpse, asking you in the chat if you were surprised.

I'm completely devastated.

That's the mindset Kaecilius has now; all he cares about is Xia Yu's life.

They launched their fiercest attack on Xia Yu without regard for anything else.

But each time, Xia Yu narrowly avoided him, muttering to himself all the while.

"If you don't like it, just say so. I have many other songs in different styles. If all else fails, my English songs are pretty good too."

"If you don't like it, you don't have to sing. Why resort to knives?"

"Young man, never act impulsively. You can't just use a weapon to hurt people. Do you even realize you're on the path to crime?"

"Hey! I just noticed you actually have a pair of legs! How did loaches evolve to grow two legs? I'm really curious, can you tell me?"

"Why are you ignoring me? Doesn't your race have biology classes? Don't you? Speaking of biology, have you ever heard of Darwin's theory of evolution?"

"This reminds me of a biology teacher I had in school. He made me study Darwin's theory of evolution every day. Speaking of which, you and he look quite alike. Except for your skin and scales, you're practically identical. Was he also a loach-man? Do you know him? His name was..."

Despite countless attacks, Xia Yu remained calm and dodged them all at the last moment, all while muttering to himself.

Kaecilius felt like his head was about to explode, and finally stopped what he was doing.

"You shameless coward, shut up right now! If you've got the guts, take my knife head-on!"

Kaecilius, his eyes bloodshot and panting heavily, stared intently at Xia Yu.

"I admit I'm shameless, but I have a different opinion on cowardice. You've been speaking Huaxia language to me, so you must have heard the saying 'A gentleman uses words, not fists.' The so-called gentleman..."

Xia Yu's expression remained unchanged, still wearing a smile, but he didn't stop talking.

"Shut up!!"

Kaecilius, his hand trembling, raised the knife and brought it down on Xia Yu's head.

Whether Xia Yu hadn't had enough fun or was determined to drive Kaecilius to his death, he launched another verbal attack.

Midway through, Kaecilius's subordinates tried to intervene, but Xia Yu easily slapped them away. However, Xia Yu continued to verbally attack Kaecilius relentlessly.

"You... you shut up! If you have the guts... if you have the guts, stand still and let me... kill you with one stroke."

Kaecilius's physique was actually worn down by Xia Yu to the point of being panting heavily. His movements became slower and slower, and he could no longer hold on. He stopped attacking and said to Xia Yu while breathing heavily.

"You want to kill me?"

Xia Yu walked up to Kaecilius seemingly without any suspicion and said with a smile.

Kaecilius stared intently at Xia Yu and nodded mechanically.

"You should have said so earlier! I asked you if you didn't like my singing, and all you said was 'shut up.' If you had just said you wanted to kill me, would I have stopped running away? Why didn't you say so sooner? Look at all this fuss, aren't you tired? Aren't you thirsty? Do you want some water?"

Xia Yu not only spoke with concern, but also took out a Coca-Cola of iced cola with water droplets still on it from his ring and handed it to Kaecilius.

Kaecilius simply swung his hand and sent the Coca-Cola flying.

Xia Yu was not angry at all. Instead, he took out another jar from his ring and handed it to Kaecilius with a gentle expression.

"Sweetie, you need to replenish your fluids when you're dehydrated, especially you mudfish people who need a humid environment. Drink this Coca-Cola obediently, and I'll stand still and let you kill me."

Kaecilius has been completely ruined by Xia Yu. His body has been modified by dark forces, and his rationality is already different from that of ordinary people. Last time in the Sky Temple, his potential was stimulated again, and the modification went even further.

After being toyed with by Xia Yu, all I could think about was the brutal idea of killing Xia Yu; I had almost completely lost my reason.

At this moment, he actually reached out and took the Coca-Cola from Xia Yu's hand, opened it, and before drinking it, he gave Xia Yu a questioning look.

Xia Yu spoke to him very considerately.

I promise I won't hide this time.

His face was full of genuine innocence.

Kaecilius downed his Coca-Cola in one gulp. Whether it was the hydration and sugar replenishment or Xia Yu's assurance, it seemed to invigorate him a bit, giving him some energy and stamina.

He raised the knife in his hand, jumped more than three meters high, and slashed it down fiercely at Xia Yu's head.

The Blade drew closer and closer to Xia Yu's head; Kaecilius could even see Xia Yu's hair fluttering in the wind.

A smile involuntarily crept onto my lips.

Just as the Blade was about to strike Xia Yu...

Xia Yu suddenly slipped and took a step back.

Kaecilius slashed his sword directly at the ground in front of Xia Yu.

A long crack stretched far along the direction the knife had cleaved.

Xia Yu suddenly took a step forward, raised his right hand high, and then brought it down with Flash speed.

"Smack!"

A slap landed squarely on Kaecilius' left cheek, sending Kaecilius flying through the air and spinning several times.

As she landed, her eyes were filled with deep sorrow as she looked at Xia Yu.

That's right.

It's just sorrow and lamentation.

"Sorry, it was an instinctive reaction, my hand slipped!"

Xia Yu looked apologetic.
