The woman wore a suit of mithril battle armor. She was only a little over five feet tall, not particularly tall, but her figure was utterly perfect.

Slender, long legs, a willow waist that could be grasped in one hand, a proud cleavage, fair skin, and flawless, exquisite features.

She had light pink hair and violet eyes. Her entire being seemed cold yet somewhat gentle, with an exceptionally outstanding temperament.

It was also Bo Saixi's first time seeing her true face, and she could not help but be slightly surprised.

She had not expected the woman Ye Han had casually helped that day to be so remarkable.

Without question, this woman was the one Ye Han had lent a hand to when he had first entered Slaughter City.

It was just that she had been wearing a mask at the time.

Sitting safely at home only for disaster to fall from the sky—this described the woman perfectly.

After finishing a day of challenges, she had been meditating and cultivating at home, preparing for her next challenge.

Suddenly, bursts of whistling air rang out. She had not intended to pay them any mind, but the sounds of pursuit kept drawing closer, forcing her to act.

So she left her secret hideout.

Then she saw the two figures chasing each other, and the woman could not help frowning.

She recognized them as the two people who had helped her out a little over a month ago. Yet the one who had left the deepest impression on her was not Ye Han, but the red-clad woman who was constantly fleeing.

Bo Saixi was simply too outstanding. As a woman herself, she had remembered her deeply after only one meeting.

"Heh heh, so this is what they call love?"

The woman sneered with disdain, believing she had guessed some hidden truth.

Unbeknownst to her, the instant Bo Saixi noticed her, her eyes lit up.

A huge hand reached for her, and Bo Saixi hurriedly flashed aside.

With a ripping sound, a large piece of fabric was torn from her chest. Her body was exposed, revealing a swath of snowy-white skin.

But with the situation so critical, Bo Saixi had no time to worry about that.

Her Soul Power surged. At that moment, she erupted with unprecedented strength and speed. Like teleportation, she arrived beside the woman in an instant, grabbed her, and, without slowing her steps, vanished from the spot.

The woman was still somewhat dazed, not knowing what had happened.

The next moment, she reappeared inside the underground cave she had dug out herself.

"There's an exit over there."

Though the woman did not know why Bo Saixi had grabbed her, she knew what needed to be done now.

Judging from what had just happened, this red-clad woman was clearly no match for the person behind them. The moment this woman grabbed her, she had already been dragged into the mess. If the person behind them caught up, what would happen was truly impossible to predict.

"A cunning rabbit has three burrows. This little girl is clever."

Bo Saixi's eyes lit up as she silently praised her, then said, "Thank you."

At the same time, she shot toward the exit the woman had indicated.

The woman's flawless, delicate face changed color instantly, filled with shock, confusion, and bewilderment.

Her mind froze for a moment.

She could not understand why Bo Saixi had dragged her to her own residence, only to flee by herself.

However, the woman was quick to react and knew what she should do now.

Unfortunately, just as she was about to chase after her, her petite body was suddenly lifted into someone's arms, and a heavy masculine scent washed over her.

"Let me go."

Riiip!

"Ah! You beast! Animal! Let me go!"

The woman's shrill screams faintly echoed around Bo Saixi's ears. A trace of reluctance flashed through her eyes, but it was soon completely erased.

"How many people who come to a place like this could possibly be good people?"

Bo Saixi clenched her fists and took deep breaths, calming the turmoil in her heart while hardening her resolve.

Her chest, heaving like stormy waves, gradually settled. She glanced back, hesitated, then turned around and headed back.

In the end, she still could not completely abandon that woman.

"Hmph hmph, ha hey!~"

Strange sounds reached her ears, making Bo Saixi halt. Her legs actually went a little weak.

It had been over a month.

She had once again heard those indecent sounds that made her blush and her heart race, that left her entranced—no, that drove her mad.

A voice in her mind urged her to leave, but her legs would not obey. It was as if they had taken root in the ground, unable to move even an inch.

Her mind was a mess. She could not understand it. Had the woman not been screaming desperately just moments ago, looking utterly miserable? How had it suddenly become like this? Apart from pain, Bo Saixi could actually hear a trace of pleasure in the woman's voice.

This...

Bo Saixi's scalp tingled. In a daze, she listened for four or five hours.

Suddenly, she realized something was wrong.

The woman's voice had weakened. Quickly extending her senses, Bo Saixi discovered that the woman's life force had become like a candle flame in the wind, as if it could go out at any moment.

With one step, Bo Saixi vanished from where she stood and appeared in the woman's room.

The sight before her left Bo Saixi dumbstruck. Her heart pounded wildly, nearly leaping out of her throat.

Gulp!

Swallowing hard in a most unladylike manner, she grabbed the woman's arm and sent her Soul Power, which carried a trace of healing properties, into the woman's body.

Supported by Bo Saixi's abundant Soul Power, the woman miraculously held on. It took a full two days before she was freed from hell.

Three more days passed before the woman slowly opened her eyes and blankly surveyed her surroundings.

As her memories gradually returned, two glistening tears fell from her eyes.

She had thought she would never cry again in this lifetime. Yet after merely three or four years, she had broken that promise.

She had suffered the same nightmare twice, endured the same ordeal twice, and felt the same helplessness. But this time, she no longer had the courage to resist.

"He's right beside you. You can kill him now."

Just as her heart turned to ashes, a magnetic voice suddenly entered her ears.

Slowly turning her head, she saw a red figure. Bone-chilling coldness instantly surfaced in her eyes, and the naked, towering hatred within them was enough to make anyone shudder.

At that moment, she suddenly remembered that the true culprit who had pushed her into the abyss this time was not that man, but the woman before her.

Whoosh!

The figure on the bed suddenly sprang up. A sharp sword appeared in her hand, and she slashed directly at Bo Saixi's neck.

Unfortunately, even with her strength suppressed, Bo Saixi was still among the strongest in Slaughter City. She was not someone a person who could only wield the strength of a Soul Saint could contend with.

Bo Saixi leaned back slightly, and the woman's sword swept past her fair neck.

"You crazy woman! If I hadn't helped you, you would have died long ago," Bo Saixi snapped.

Yet for some reason, after saying those words, an image surfaced before her eyes...

At the same time, her body felt weak, and her emotions churned.

"Who asked for your help? If it weren't for you, I... how could he have..."

The woman's face turned livid. She withdrew her sword and raised her leg, about to kick Bo Saixi in the face. But the moment her leg reached halfway up, she cried out in pain, like a cuckoo crying blood, and collapsed directly onto the floor.

Bo Saixi was left speechless. Looking at the scantily clad woman lying on the ground, she could not help feeling somewhat guilty.

Even now, when she recalled the woman's miserable state that day, her heart still went cold with fear.
