Undercover

The Flower Demon reacted a step too late, the words "surrender with your hands tied" still drifted into her ears.

"Okay... okay."

The Flower Demon landed, lowered her hands, and subconsciously replied.

She stood still in place, then prepared to untie her belt and tie her hands.

At this moment, Li Ye's body flickered, turning into an afterimage as he appeared before her.

Just as the Flower Demon broke free from Words Manifest Reality, a cold light flashed before her eyes.

Her face instantly paled with fright: "You can't kill me."

Li Ye's sword was already at her neck.

"Oh? You wanted to kill me, why can't I kill you?"

"Come, come, let me show you around."

Li Ye chuckled, using his sword to escort the Flower Demon towards the Corpse Incineration Hall.

Upon entering, a chilling, ominous aura rushed towards them.

This caused the Flower Demon to involuntarily shiver.

The first thing that caught their eyes was a tall, dark red furnace. In front of the furnace was a corpse rack, and further ahead was a small offering table.

On the offering table were incense, candles, paper money, and a copper basin.

In a corner, a large vat of cold water was placed.

"What are you bringing me here for?"

The Flower Demon asked coldly.

Li Ye introduced the process to the Flower Demon in advance: "That rack is the Corpse Cleansing Platform, and I will place you on it later."

"As Corpse Incinerators, our business is very extensive. If you have any injuries, I will stitch them up. If you are not clean, I will wash your body. In short, I will definitely ensure that Madam Flower Demon leaves this world with dignity."

"Also, the incense, candles, paper money, and such will not be spared."

"Given our acquaintance, I can make an exception and burn more paper money for Madam Flower Demon, ensuring that you can continue to live a life of luxury and revelry on the other side."

Hearing this, the Flower Demon finally understood what kind of place this was.

He wants to burn this Seat!

The Flower Demon sneered: "Your business is quite proficient."

"It's really a shame for a sword genius like you."

Li Ye maintained his smile: "Gold shines everywhere, and I will shine wherever the world needs me."

"If you are satisfied, please leave a five-star review on the other side. Thank you!"

Flower Demon did not know what a five-star review was and said seriously: "Li Bai, this seat admits that you now have the qualifications to speak with me as an equal."

Li Ye nodded: "Thank you for your appreciation, Lord Flower Demon. When would you be convenient to hit the road? I will escort you."

"I think now is a good time."

Black lines appeared on Flower Demon's smooth forehead.

She was devastatingly beautiful, the most stunning in the world.

She had fallen into his hands twice, yet this guy hadn't harbored any ill intentions.

He just wanted to burn her.

What good would burning her do him?

Ah, wrong, why didn't he understand her meaning at all and was solely focused on burning her?

Flower Demon became unconfident because of Li Ye, starting to doubt her own charm.

"I want to cooperate with you."

"There will be a chance in the next life."

"I mean, I will deal with Mad Devil."

"Okay, I will definitely help you in the next life. What did you say?"

"I said, I want to deal with Mad Devil. His Blood Demon Great Law might be breaking through to the Sixth Layer."

"Are you also about to break through?"

"Yes, but he should be one step ahead of me. As long as one of us breaks through, we can..."

"I understand. You want me to cultivate the Blood Demon Great Law, break through to the Sixth Layer before him, and dual cultivate with me, right?"

Does he have a hole in his brain?

Is that what I meant?

Flower Demon stared at Li Ye gloomily and sneered: "Yes, if you can do it, I will dual cultivate with you."

Li Ye extended his finger and poked her smooth forehead fiercely, causing the girl's head to tilt and nearly making her lose her balance.

"What are you thinking about?"

"A few hours have made you so arrogant, ah?"

"Did you forget what I said last night? Brother Li is a man you'll never get."

With every sentence, he poked Flower Demon's little head.

For a moment, Flower Demon was poked so much she swayed like a tumbler, staggering and listing to one side.

"Damn it, I'll fight you to the death."

The sweet-voiced Flower Demon shouted, driven mad, feeling offended, cursing, and completely losing it.

She lunged at Li Ye with bared teeth and claws, ready to fight him desperately.

But immediately, the sharp edge of the Profound Ice Sword at her neck made her behave.

"You think you're worthy of fighting me?"

"You've fallen into my hands twice now, don't you have any idea of your own strength?"

"You're bad at playing but love to play, Brother Li can't even be bothered to deal with you, understand?"

"Besides, you were the one who wanted to dual-cultivate with Mad Devil, not me. Why should I help you?"

"And, didn't you just want to kill me? You can't beat me, so you want to cooperate? Do you take your Brother Li for a fool?"

"Why should I trust you?"

Li Ye said, continuously poking Flower Demon.

The latter's fair forehead was reddened by his poking.

At first, Flower Demon still had a stubborn expression on her face, her large eyes wide open, as if she wanted to kill someone.

Later, she completely lost her temper, closed her eyes, and put on a pitiable little expression.

Flower Demon is a remarkable woman who knows when to yield and when to stand firm. Seeing that Li Ye finally stopped poking her, she opened her eyes and said weakly, "Brother Li, I was wrong."

"It was I who had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai, and offended a great deity like you. This little sister apologizes to you."

Li Ye nodded: "Now that's more like it."

Flower Demon is indeed capable of both yielding and standing firm, as her previous actions showed.

So, she took the opportunity to bring up the matter of cooperation with Li Ye again.

She said sweetly, "Brother Li, you have boundless divine abilities. I'll lure Mad Devil out to kill him, and you just need to assist me from the side by using your divine abilities."

"With Brother Li's divine ability, I'm confident I can kill him in one strike."

Li Ye stared at her faintly, "Why should I believe you? Won't you and Mad Devil join forces against me then?"

"You were trying to kill me just now."

Flower Demon shook her little head like a rattle drum, "No, no, no, that won't happen. I don't like Mad Devil. Killing him is the only way to avoid dual cultivation with him. You already used your divine ability to ask me about this last night..."

"Besides, I only decided to cooperate with Brother Li after I thought of your divine ability just now."

Li Ye acknowledged Flower Demon's statement.

Her dislike for Mad Devil was revealed under his Words Manifest Reality, so her motive to kill Mad Devil was reasonable.

But Mad Devil's cultivation was about to break through, and he would very likely enter the second level of Object Manipulation realm.

And his own Words Manifest Reality was useless against men.

Thus, Li Ye chose to reject Flower Demon's proposal.

He didn't need to take this risk with her.

"Little sister, stop talking, just go on your way obediently."

Li Ye said cheerfully.

He wasn't joking this time. Flower Demon's face turned pale with fright, and she gritted her teeth, "I'm an undercover agent!"

What?

The sword in Li Ye's hand solidified.

Whoosh!

Seeing this, Flower Demon turned into an afterimage and took the opportunity to break free from Li Ye's control.

She appeared at the other end of the Corpse Incineration Room, covering her ears with both hands to avoid being 'ambushed' by Li Ye again.

This fearful little expression looked quite cute.

"I am a spy planted in the Devil Sect by a Righteous Great Sect, for the purpose of uprooting the Devil Sect one day."

"This is a matter of my life and death, I have no reason to lie to you."

"If I were lying, I would have already fled through the door by now."

Flower Demon said.

The Devil Sect couldn't be said to be terrifying, but it excelled in its sheer numbers and numerous strongholds.

Difficult to eradicate.

Many great sects had surrounded and suppressed them more than once, yet after each suppression, the Devil Sect could resurface in an extremely short period.

They could be said to be like weeds that grow back after being cut.

Li Ye was incredibly surprised, not expecting the infamous Flower Demon to be an undercover agent planted in the Devil Sect by a Righteous Great Sect.

"Your style of doing things doesn't seem like an undercover agent."

"You agree?"

"I said your style of doing things doesn't seem like an undercover agent, I find it hard to believe you."

"Consider it a favor I owe you."

Li Ye gestured with his hand to Flower Demon, saying, "Get your damn hand off your ear."

Noticing Li Ye's gesture, Flower Demon cautiously, with a hint of wariness, slowly released her small hand from her ear, saying, "Co...cooperation is a pleasure."

Li Ye's forehead darkened: "Cooperation, my ass."
