A Sudden Confession, Fight to Mutual Destruction

She admires me, so she probably won't hurt me, right? Besides, if the plot makes me form this kind of relationship with the murderer right away, that would be way too screwed up.

Yi Xiaofeng hesitated. Thinking back, Wang Yanran had indeed treated him very well.

His weakness for pretty faces might end up holding him back.

After some thought, Yi Xiaofeng still got up and walked over.

Maybe it would trigger a hidden clue?

Zeng Shu opened his eyes and asked, "Brother Zhang, where are you going?"

"Miss Wang is looking for me. Just wait here, and remember to save me a portion of the food." Yi Xiaofeng turned back with a smile, then followed Wang Yanran away.

Zeng Shu frowned, but it was not appropriate for him to follow.

What exactly is the relationship between these two NPCs? Could they have found some clues?

Zeng Shu was puzzled, but he had already resolved to cling tightly to Yi Xiaofeng's thigh.

The night was like water.

Yi Xiaofeng followed Wang Yanran to an empty garden, where a lake lay ahead of them.

A lone man and woman, surrounded by a hazy atmosphere.

Yet Yi Xiaofeng did not have the slightest improper thought.

He was only looking forward to Wang Yanran revealing some incredible information.

The two entered a small pavilion and sat down.

Wang Yanran sat across from Yi Xiaofeng, looking at him with a solemn expression.

"Miss Wang, you can speak your mind," Yi Xiaofeng said with a smile.

Wang Yanran sighed and said, "I learned some information. City Lord Tang refined a pill called the Pure Yang Pill, which can help you gather your yang energy again. It's just..."

"It's just what?"

"It's just that the Pure Yang Pill vanished without a trace. The Demonic Cultivator who slaughtered the City Lord's Mansion may have come for the Pure Yang Pill. Yi Qian said her father hid the pill within the City Lord's Mansion. She has searched for a long time without finding it, and suspects the Pure Yang Pill was stolen long ago."

"I see."

Yi Xiaofeng was not discouraged. Instead, he was pleasantly surprised.

At least he had confirmed that the Pure Yang Pill was inside the City Lord's Mansion.

The murderer had not left yet, which meant he had not found the Pure Yang Pill.

But...

According to the information he had received before, the Pure Yang Pill should have been refined by the Pure Yang Sect. Logically, this pill should have been refined by Master Wang, so how had it ended up in City Lord Tang's hands?

Most importantly, Wang Yanran was completely unaware of it.

Yi Xiaofeng asked, "By the way, why hasn't your father returned?"

At that, Wang Yanran's eyes flickered slightly. "The Royal Capital is very far away, so it will be difficult for him to return anytime soon. Why do you ask, Young Master Zhang?"

Yi Xiaofeng sighed. "I'm just worried that something might have happened to him. I heard your father and City Lord Tang are close friends, and I'm afraid he may have been implicated."

The Barrage once again filled with rows of 666.

The viewers now loved watching Yi Xiaofeng lie with such a straight face.

Unlike the other contestants, he really seemed like an NPC!

This guy had to be an actor, right?

"Thank you for your concern, Young Master Zhang. My father should be fine. Every time he travels, he hires many experts to assist him." Wang Yanran covered her mouth and smiled.

After that, the two began chatting.

Yi Xiaofeng wanted to probe for more information, but he did not dare to make it too obvious, so he could only ask indirect questions.

In the blink of an eye.

They had chatted for more than an hour.

Yi Xiaofeng was hungry as well and wanted to get up and leave.

"Young Master Zhang, if I weren't so fat, would you like me?" Wang Yanran suddenly asked, her gaze faint and distant.

Yi Xiaofeng was speechless. Why did she have to spell it out?

The viewers all laughed.

Wang Yanran could no longer be described merely as fat. She was practically a ball of flesh, weighing at least three hundred pounds. Yi Xiaofeng looked completely insignificant standing before her.

Yi Xiaofeng also sympathized with her.

She had not become this fat from indulging herself. It was only because she cultivated the Pure Yang Five Swords Technique.

Even if she were not fat, Yi Xiaofeng might not necessarily like her.

To say something shameless, it would not be difficult for Yi Xiaofeng in this life to marry a beautiful wife.

What he cared about more was feeling.

He and Wang Yanran had not interacted enough to cultivate that sort of feeling.

"Matters of the heart may have something to do with appearance and figure, but that is only at the beginning of a relationship. To spend a lifetime together, one must surely love the other person's soul. Though we have known each other for some time, our interactions have not been very deep. Besides, look at me now... Let's not mention it." Yi Xiaofeng shook his head.

He had put it very tactfully.

What if Wang Yanran really was the murderer?

Once he rejected her, she might suddenly attack him. He had to be careful.

Hearing this, Wang Yanran was neither angry nor sad. Instead, she smiled.

"Let's go, Young Master Zhang. You must be hungry. I'll take you to get something to eat." Wang Yanran rose with a smile.

Yi Xiaofeng nodded, and his stomach rumbled in response.

He was truly hungry.

His body had already been weak, and he had used spiritual power today as well.

He could not hold on!

The two got up and left.

After their conversation, their relationship had grown closer, and Yi Xiaofeng no longer resisted Wang Yanran as much as before.

As night fell, nearly everyone wandering around the City Lord's Mansion traveled in pairs, not daring to search alone.

Whoosh—

A sudden sound of something cutting through the air rang out.

Before Yi Xiaofeng could react, Wang Yanran shoved him aside. A dart shot between them and embedded itself in a stone pillar by the lake.

An ambush!

Yi Xiaofeng abruptly turned to look.

The black-clothed man they had seen that afternoon stood beneath a tree not far away. The eyes exposed by his mask were icy, glinting like those of a beast in the darkness.

It was him again!

Yi Xiaofeng was startled. How had this guy appeared so quickly?

Could it be that the Fireball Spell had not injured him at all?

Without another word, the black-clothed man charged toward them.

Yi Xiaofeng immediately drew the sword at his waist, preparing to fight.

"Miss Wang, leave first!" Yi Xiaofeng said in a low voice.

With this body of his, he could not outrun anyone. It would be better for Wang Yanran to find help.

"No! I can't abandon you, Young Master Zhang!" Wang Yanran cried anxiously.

With that, she used her body, like a wall of flesh, to shield Yi Xiaofeng.

The black-clothed man kicked her in the abdomen. She screamed and fell to her knees.

Then the black-clothed man leaped over Wang Yanran and struck his palm toward Yi Xiaofeng.

Yi Xiaofeng immediately pulled out the Fireball Spell talisman.

At the sight of it, the black-clothed man swiftly dodged, not daring to confront him head-on.

Just as expected!

Although this black-clothed man was powerful, he was not so powerful that he could instantly kill fifty contestants. Otherwise, there would be no way to play this Script!

The viewers became excited:

"Looks like the murderer has his eyes on Yi Xiaofeng!"

"So touching! Wang Yanran, I want to marry you!"

"Is the person above serious?"

"I'm moved. Even game characters have feelings."

"Why do I feel like Wang Yanran staged this herself?"

"This murderer doesn't seem that strong. He's afraid of Yi Xiaofeng's Fireball Spell."

Some viewers were moved by Wang Yanran's actions, but even more were discussing the black-clothed man's strength.

Yi Xiaofeng said in a deep voice, "Come on! Even if we both perish, I'll fight you to the bitter end!"

He pulled another stack of talismans from his robe.

He had traded pills for all of them while shopping earlier.

His purpose was to bluff his enemy.

He was not foolish enough to tell others that he could only use his spell twice.

Many viewers had witnessed Yi Xiaofeng trading for the talismans, so when they saw him frightening the black-clothed man, they all burst out laughing.

This was way too clever!
