Accepting Chu Mingyue

Xu Jie's voice was calm, and his expression was indifferent, yet his words were incomparably domineering and wild!

God slaying—he made it sound effortless!

As though the Outer Regions gods that had plagued Xia Country for years were merely pigs and sheep awaiting slaughter in Xu Jie's eyes.

At that moment, Chu Mingyue seemed to be seeing the young man before her anew. Beneath his cold ruthlessness lay an ambition to pity all living beings.

At the same time, Chu Mingyue's heart trembled wildly. She stared fixedly at the somewhat weakened Xu Jie, the strange gleam in her beautiful eyes growing ever stronger.

"Chu Mingyue, you'd better stay away from me from now on. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?"

Hearing that, Chu Mingyue grew a little angry. She had always possessed an extremely headstrong temperament.

As soon as her defiant streak rose up, she stood and walked directly before Xu Jie, snorted coldly, and sat down beside him.

At the same time, Chu Mingyue extended her jade-like hand and took the initiative to wrap it around Xu Jie's arm, staring at him stubbornly.

"..."

Xu Jie frowned, realizing that things were a little off. His earlier words seemed to have awakened some hidden trait within Chu Mingyue.

Especially now that his combat strength had soared to the point where he could kill a Pulse-Opening Peak Stage martial artist, Chu Mingyue seemed unwilling to keep suppressing her feelings any longer.

"You..."

"Xu Jie, are you afraid of me?"

"..."

Feeling his arm sink into an incomparably soft mass, Xu Jie immediately found himself unable to hold it together.

"Xu Jie, I'm following you for life! You won't be able to run away!"

Seeing Xu Jie's strange expression, Chu Mingyue finally made up her mind. With her pretty face slightly flushed, she spoke the heartfelt words she had buried deep within her heart.

"Ah!"

Xu Jie could not help sighing. He knew he might not be able to shake off Chu Mingyue.

More precisely, back in that village, when faced with the mercenary group's malice, Chu Mingyue had worn a conflicted expression and been willing to compromise with Qin Lie for his sake.

The extreme fury that had surged up in Xu Jie's heart at that moment had already proven that he did not feel nothing for Chu Mingyue.

Last night, when he had brutally slaughtered those mercenaries, had it truly been just to avenge the little girl's family and seek justice for them, or had it been because those mercenaries had coveted Chu Mingyue?

Who knew?

The corners of Xu Jie's mouth lifted into a relieved smile.

Since things had already come to this, why agonize over so much?

Xu Jie had always been someone who faced his own heart directly. He did not have so much coy hesitation.

He believed that only those who could acknowledge their own feelings could live freely and openly!

People were sometimes just this contradictory!

Xu Jie was clearly a cold-hearted, cruel, violent desperado who lived one day at a time, yet for the sake of a little girl's family who had nothing to do with him, he had slaughtered the mercenary group and the Guard Army without hesitation.

If he had chosen to turn a blind eye, not only could he have avoided offending the military, he could also have escaped assassination by the Guard Army.

What did that family have to do with him?

He did not even know them!

Yet he had been furious. He had believed that mercenary group deserved to die, and that Zhao Du, who had triggered the Beast Tide, deserved death!

So, he had chosen to act!

He had even conceived the absurd notion of breaking the rules of this world!

And after arriving in this world, Xu Jie had clearly not wanted to become entangled with any woman. Yet in the end, without even realizing it, he had developed feelings for Chu Mingyue, who had always helped and looked after him.

When Chu Mingyue had first been harassed by the mercenary group, he had involuntarily become extremely furious!

And when the mercenary group had coveted Chu Mingyue beside him, his rage had erupted completely!

It was as though Chu Mingyue had already become his forbidden possession; he simply had not realized it himself.

Thus, he had slaughtered those mercenaries in a savage, cathartic manner. One could well imagine just how furious he had been at the time.

In the end, Xu Jie had clearly only wanted at first to rely on the system, grow stronger without end, and cultivate martial arts selfishly without caring whether others lived or died. Yet he had ultimately become entangled in the karmic grudges of martial Lineages such as the Xu family and Jiang family.

Especially after learning firsthand that his nominal father had died under the torture of the Xu family, his killing intent toward them had reached its peak!

It was also because Little Black had been a treasure left to him by his father that he had chosen to accept this demon he had acquired by chance.

Thus, he resolved to avenge his father. No matter who had participated in killing him—

He would make them pay a devastating price, even if Xia Country's gods stood behind them!

As he carefully recalled the experiences and scenes of the past few days, Xu Jie realized that he truly had changed—and changed greatly, changed quickly!

Changed, then so be it!

People had to change because of their environment!

Could this year's self possibly think the same way as last year's self?

Xu Jie did not dwell too much on those meaningless matters.

He turned his head to glance at Chu Mingyue, whose beautiful eyes brimmed with anticipation and carried a trace of nervousness, then chuckled softly.

"Fine, Chu Mingyue. You win!"

"!!!"

Xu Jie had accepted her?

Just like that?

Chu Mingyue had thought it would be difficult, that she would need to cast aside her dignity and beg him or something.

She had not expected Xu Jie, who had always rejected her before, to so readily choose to accept her now.

What a strange man!

Taking Chu Mingyue with him, Xu Jie decided to return to Jincheng City, because there was still one culprit at large!

Along the way, Chu Mingyue kept holding Xu Jie's arm, looking hesitant as though she wanted to speak but stopped herself.

"What do you want to ask?"

"Xu Jie, what are we going back for?"

"To kill someone!"

"Who?"

"Guard Officer Zhao Du!"

"..."

Chu Mingyue's grip around Xu Jie's arm instantly tightened, making him suck in a sharp breath as the plant root in his mouth fell to the ground.

"Xu Jie, killing a Guard Officer is a grave crime. We can wait for an opportunity..."

"I don't want to wait!"

Xu Jie turned his head to look at Chu Mingyue beside him and spoke with a smile.

"If he doesn't die, I can't sleep!"

"But..."

"Chu Mingyue, you only need to stay obediently atop the city wall and wait for me to return, understand?"

Xu Jie's words were exceedingly domineering and forceful, carrying a hint of command.

After freezing for a moment, Chu Mingyue nodded as if possessed, then said obediently in a low voice.

"Alright... I'll wait for you to come back!"

Seeing Chu Mingyue being so obedient, Xu Jie's throat bobbed.

Looking at Chu Mingyue's full, alluring red lips, he could not help pinching her chin, lowering his head to kiss her domineeringly.

"Mmph..."

At first, Chu Mingyue, whose first kiss had been stolen, was unaccustomed to it and panickedly slapped Xu Jie's chest.

Gradually, Chu Mingyue stopped resisting. Instead, she wrapped her arms around Xu Jie's neck and rose onto her tiptoes to cooperate with him.

And during this time, Xu Jie's large hand naturally grew utterly unrestrained, becoming ever more excessive as it felt Chu Mingyue's astonishingly seductive figure.

This woman... was truly heaven-defying!

A slender branch bearing a huge fruit?
