Although the voice echoed by his ears, Lin Ziyi did not see anyone nearby.
But from that familiar voice, he could tell—
The other party was most likely the Black Dress Woman who had invited him at the bar earlier!
This woman had indeed come with ill intentions!
Although Tushan Lingling, now level ninety-six, had already sensed something amiss in the surroundings, she did not dare leave Lin Ziyi's side for even a step!
Just then, a black shadow suddenly flew toward them!
Tushan Lingling's beautiful eyes sharpened. Soul Power instantly wove itself into an energy net before her, sweeping toward the black shadow!
The energy net passed straight through the shadow!
The shadow was instantly broken apart into countless tiny diamond-shaped fragments, which fell from the air and struck the ground with a rattling clatter!
With the flickering streetlights, Lin Ziyi saw that what had fallen to the ground were actually bones wrapped in human skin!
Shriveled human skin wrapped around bloodless bones, while the flesh in between had vanished without a trace!
Yet from the scraps of clothing still covering it, he could tell that this person seemed to be the burly man the Black Dress Woman had invited away earlier!
He had not expected that man to have already been drained of all his flesh and blood...
Combined with those blood-red bats from before, Lin Ziyi guessed that the Black Dress Woman's martial soul was most likely some sort of bat-type martial soul!
Fortunately, he had not accepted her invitation. Otherwise, he would be the one turned into a dried corpse now!
"Hehehe, so it seems you already saw through my strength back in the bar?"
The Black Dress Woman's voice rang out again, and her words seemed to answer Lin Ziyi's thoughts.
Lin Ziyi's heart skipped a beat!
Could this woman read minds?!
Just as that thought crossed his mind, the Black Dress Woman started giggling again.
Her laugh was sweet, but to Lin Ziyi's ears, it was unbearably piercing!
"Little brother, you guessed right. I really can see through your thoughts~
"But that only works on targets with a lower Soul Power Level than mine.
"I can't see what this little fox lady beside you is thinking, though. I suppose she must be level ninety-five or above.
"Level ninety-five, a gorgeous Fox Demon...
"If nothing unexpected happened, this Fox Demon should be the treasure you bought from the Misty Auction House, right, little brother?"
Hearing that, an enlightened expression appeared on Lin Ziyi's face.
But considering that she could read his thoughts, Lin Ziyi deliberately muttered inwardly:
So she really came to steal my precious fox!
Sure enough, the Black Dress Woman read that thought and immediately responded:
"You're not entirely wrong, but you're not entirely right either."
The Black Dress Woman smiled as she continued explaining:
"I am indeed very interested in this level ninety-five little fox lady.
"But I heard that when the auction was completed, she and you seemed to receive some sort of contractual protection from the Misty Auction House.
"If you voluntarily give her to me, I can guarantee that I'll spare your life. I might even reward you with a round~
"Don't worry~ I'm definitely not the sort who burns bridges after crossing them. You're so handsome, little brother—I'd be reluctant to kill you~
"Though I really do want to taste what your blood is like~"
Hearing those heart-stirring words, Lin Ziyi felt an inexplicable heat rise within him.
Only then did he realize that her words possessed a certain bewitching power. She was not merely flirting with him!
Perhaps this was one of her charm-type spirit abilities?!
Even her mind-reading ability might have come from some spirit ability!
All of Lin Ziyi's thoughts were caught by the Black Dress Woman, who chuckled happily.
"What a clever little brother. Then surely you can make the wisest choice, right?"
Hearing that, Lin Ziyi fell silent for a moment, then nodded beneath Tushan Lingling's astonished gaze.
"I believe what you said. In that case, I'll give this Fox Demon to you.
"But before that, you have to let me go first!"
The Black Dress Woman's smile grew even sweeter.
"What a good boy~ But don't you want to share some intimacy with your big sister? Big sister is very skilled, you know~"
Lin Ziyi hurriedly waved his hands.
"No, no. I know I'm not blessed with that kind of luck, and I also know that having this Fox Demon by my side would bring trouble to my door sooner or later.
"Since you want her, miss, I'll give her to you."
After saying that, Lin Ziyi put on a show. Facing Tushan Lingling, he bit his thumb and pressed a bloody fingerprint onto her forehead.
He then made several seemingly profound and patterned motions, as though performing a ritual.
At the end, Lin Ziyi suddenly winked his left eye at Tushan Lingling.
The clever Little Fox immediately understood her master's meaning and blinked twice in response.
"All right, the contract has been released. Tushan Lingling, from now on, follow the lady who was speaking just now.
"Remember, you must be one hundred percent loyal to her!"
Tushan Lingling wore a blank expression and nodded in confusion.
Lin Ziyi turned toward the darkness.
"All right, miss, I've already released my contract with her.
"But if you want to establish a contract, you must come before her and smear your blood on the center of her forehead. Only then can you successfully control her."
After saying that, Lin Ziyi deliberately sighed inwardly.
Ah, my six thousand Gold Soul Coins... just given away for nothing.
Not long after Lin Ziyi finished lamenting, an unusual sound suddenly came from above their heads.
Countless blood-red bats hidden in the darkness descended eerily before them, gathering into a sexy figure dressed in a black silk gown!
As he looked at her, Lin Ziyi could not help but marvel inwardly: She's truly sexy and alluring—even more alluring than my Little Fox!
The Black Dress Woman pursed her lips in a smile.
"If you're willing, little brother, I can really make you feel so good you'll reach heaven~ And after you're done, I'll absolutely let you leave safely!"
Hearing that, Lin Ziyi remained silent for a long time before shaking his head.
"Forget it, forget it. What if it feels too good and I end up completely bewitched by you, miss? That would be terrible!
"The Fox Demon is here. Just complete the contract yourself. I'm leaving first."
As he spoke, Lin Ziyi bowed to the Black Dress Woman, then turned and fled into the distance beneath her smiling gaze.
Only after the man disappeared into the darkness did the Black Dress Woman slowly walk toward Tushan Lingling.
However, just as she came within less than a meter of Tushan Lingling—
The Fox Demon, who had worn a confused expression until then, suddenly narrowed her eyes. Her right hand formed a beak shape, piercing into the Black Dress Woman's body like lightning!
Got her!!
A flicker of delight appeared in Tushan Lingling's eyes, but the next instant, she discovered in horror that the Black Dress Woman was smiling brightly at her!
Something was wrong!!
As a Super Douluo, Tushan Lingling reacted immediately and tried to pull her hand back.
But to her horror, she found that her hand seemed to be imprisoned by some force. She could not pull it from the other woman's body at all!
The Black Dress Woman bared her teeth, revealing two long, slender fangs.
"What dreadful acting! As one of the King of Slaughter's three great bat generals—
"You thought you could put on an act in front of me, Bloody Mary, and I wouldn't see through it?
"You two are really as naive as children! Did you really think I could only read that little brother's mind?
"My Eighth Spirit Ability can seize the thoughts of everyone below the level of a Limit Douluo!!"
