"Everyone, we meet again."
Soul Emperor stood with his hands clasped behind his back, a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
His calm demeanor made him seem less like an enemy and more like an old friend they had not seen in years.
He gave off an air of refined warmth.
"Soul Emperor, stop putting on that hypocritical act."
"You fled in such a sorry state after getting beaten last time. Why haven't you learned your lesson? Do you want another beating?"
Gu Yuan's attitude remained as cold as ever.
His patience for Soul Emperor, who loved stirring up trouble, had undoubtedly been worn down to the limit.
"Gu Yuan, why are you still so hot-tempered? That won't do."
Soul Emperor chuckled softly before saying, "Actually, I never wanted to make enemies of you."
"As long as you hand over Lu Yunxiao, wouldn't everyone be happy?"
"Pah, keep dreaming."
"Did you forget to take your medicine before coming out?"
"Why are you spouting such nonsense?"
Huang Ling'er snapped, making no attempt to conceal her fury.
Things had already come to this, yet he still wanted to twist his words here. He had truly miscalculated.
"See? I told you not to be so hot-tempered. If you won't hand him over, then don't. Why curse at people?"
Soul Emperor smiled amiably, seemingly showing no anger at all.
His demeanor made Huang Ling'er furrow her dark eyebrows. Unable to help herself, she exchanged a glance with Lord of Devouring beside her, and both saw the confusion in the other's eyes.
There was something slightly off about Soul Emperor today.
"Soul Emperor, stop talking nonsense. If you want to fight, then fight."
"No matter what tricks you have, we'll take them all."
Yun Yun's voice rang out at just the right moment.
