Try It (2)

"Am I afraid of you? If you have the guts, kill me. Then you can wait for my father to hunt you down. He is the Empire's First Sword Saint. How many people on the continent are his match..." Li Xiande shouted. These words were actually a manifestation of his cowardice. He wanted Ye Lang to understand the consequences of killing him.

"Is that so?! Then just watch!" Ye Lang's dagger suddenly accelerated and pierced directly into Li Xiande's heart.

"You...you really killed me...you...why..." Li Xiande's face showed disbelief. He couldn't believe that Ye Lang had actually killed him. Wasn't he afraid of being hunted down by the Sword Saint?

"..." Li Yue frowned, she hadn't expected Ye Lang to actually kill Li Xiande.

"Why? It's simple. You asked me to try it, so I'll see what kind of trouble you can cause me after you die," Ye Lang replied with a smile.

Sometimes, some people are just so clueless, insisting on letting others try to mess with them. And once that happens, regardless of whether you get revenge later, you've already paid the price.

Li Xiande paid the price this time—the price of his life!

Even if the Sword Saint can kill Ye Lang in the future, so what? Li Xiande is already dead, and he will never see that moment. Besides, can the Sword Saint even kill Ye Lang?

Although Ye Lang couldn't defeat the Sword Saint, the Sword Saint also couldn't catch Ye Lang. Killing Ye Lang was impossible!

After hearing Ye Lang's words, Li Xiande was even more unable to close his eyes in peace. He now realized how foolish he had been. Why did he let others try to kill him? What was the point?

If he could do it all over again, he would definitely choose to run away sooner, abandoning all pride and refusing to get entangled with Ye Lang, this unconventional person.

"..." After hearing Ye Lang's answer, Li Yue was stunned for a moment. She thought that the person who would give this reason must be someone like that Prodigal Son of the Ye Clan. Could it be that this Ford Fox in front of her was also a Prodigal Son?

"Now that things have come to this, we should quickly destroy the evidence and avoid leaving any trouble," Li Yue shook her head, reminding Ye Lang.

"Okay!" Ye Lang replied, then went to destroy the evidence.

He can give it a try, but that doesn't mean he has to go and cause trouble. He'd rather stay out of the spotlight!

Ye Lang quickly buried the body and erased all traces of the battle. With Cold-Blooded Fifth's help, even if people knew about this place, they wouldn't find anything wrong.

Li Xiande's actions this time were very secretive. Everyone thought he was there to participate in the hunt and didn't know he was there to see Li Yue, which was something he didn't want anyone to know.

This is also one of the ridiculous aspects. Li Xiande concealed his death so thoroughly that no one could find out what was wrong. Afterwards, everyone just assumed he had disappeared. Even if they suspected he was dead, no one thought it had anything to do with Li Yue.

Ye Lang and Li Yue had to leave overnight because of the battle. Neither of them wanted to spend the night in such a place, so they decided to treat this as a nighttime hunt.

"Li Yue, what do you have that led them to this place?" After leaving, Ye Lang was a little puzzled. He was certain that no one was with him; if they were, Cold-Blooded Fifth would have already taken care of it.

Therefore, there must be something tracking Li Yue.

"I don't have anything on me right now, only the Heavenly Mechanism Armor!! But... maybe... this horse..." Li Yue patted her mount. It was impossible for her to have anything on her, but it was easy for someone to tamper with the horse.

"Let me see!" Ye Lang began searching, and soon he found the problem. It turned out that there was a small gadget in the saddle, a kind of tracking device.

But these little gadgets are very expensive, so it seems that Li Xiande paid a high price for today.

Ye Lang dismissed it with disdain, casually tossing it into the mountain stream. With his alchemical skills, he searched carefully again and was certain that there was no longer anything like it.

"Hey, did you see that just now?" After a moment of silence, Li Yue asked shyly.

"I see it!" Ye Lang replied, looking ahead.

"What!?" Li Yue said, a little embarrassed and annoyed. She quickly realized that what Ye Lang said seemed to be different from what she had said.

"How come I didn't see such a big prey? Wait, I'll shoot it dead with one arrow!" Ye Lang drew his bow and shot an arrow, killing a wild beast that came out at night.

"..." Li Yue remained silent, watching Ye Lang run over to finish off the prey. She really wanted to kick Ye Lang.

"Hey, be serious! Did you see it or not?!" Li Yue asked again when Ye Lang returned.

"What do you mean, did you see it or not? What are you talking about?" Ye Lang was a little confused by Li Yue.

"When you threw a clod of mud in earlier and lifted the tent flap, what did you see?" Li Yue blushed, her shyness making her even more beautiful, if anyone were paying attention.

"Mud? Ah, my midnight snack! I forgot... Luckily it's still here..." Ye Lang only realized that he hadn't opened his beggar's chicken when he heard "mud."

So he looked for the piece of clay he had put in the ring. Luckily, he hadn't thrown it aside, or he would have really forgotten about it. When he took it out, he found that the clay had cracked.

Of course it cracked; you just hit two people with that thing...

After knocking off the mud layer, the tender chicken meat appeared before Ye Lang's eyes. The tempting aroma made his mouth water, and Ye Lang unceremoniously tore off a chicken leg first.

Just as Ye Lang was about to put the chicken leg in his mouth, a scream rang out from the mountains. It wasn't something that had happened elsewhere nearby, but rather Ye Lang's scream.

"Ford Focus!!!" Li Yue was furious. She had asked him several times, but this person had ignored her so many times, completely disregarding her.

"Huh? You're calling me?" Ye Lang was stunned for a moment before realizing that the name was his.

Seeing Ye Lang's expression, Li Yue's anger intensified. "I'm asking you, did you see my body or not?"

"Yes, I saw everything!!" Ye Lang originally wanted to answer no, but it was so dark at night, and given Li Yue's angle, he couldn't see much, at most just a bit of skin.

However, Li Yue didn't reveal much of her body at that time, so even if you saw everything, it wouldn't matter.

Ye Lang said this because he felt that saying it would mean that his relationship with Li Yue was taking a step further, and that they could become lovers.

"You... you..." Li Yue stammered for a long time but couldn't get the answer out. What good would it do to get it out? What could he possibly do?
