" Su Hang, I have a bad feeling."
"A bad feeling?"
Huyan Lan a deep breath and pushed open the fire door on the 20th floor.
The corridor lights flickered on and off. Outside the emergency escape elevator, a woman dressed in a plain white kimono, her black hair cascading over her shoulders, stood motionless, her hands gripping a naginata in front of her chest.
" Xue Ji!" Yugong Liuli shuddered.
Su Hang tensed up, clearly feeling the surrounding temperature drop sharply, and asked in a low voice, "Is she very powerful?"
Yugong Liuli nodded nervously and said, " Xue Ji is the vice-leader of the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons ), the closed-door female disciple of the Kyoto Naginata School, a sixth-dan swordsman, and has killed many people."
A sixth-dan kendo master?
Su Hang felt a constant sense of alarm. A level six player could take on ten opponents single-handedly, and their physical abilities were comparable to his current level. If this were in the game Honor of Kings, they would undoubtedly be King-Titled Player!
" Su Hang! You take Liuli and leave first!" Huyan Lan blocked the way, her aura rising steadily. "Leave that woman who looks like Sadako to me!"
"No way!" Su Hang refused outright. He knew Huyan Lan's martial prowess like the back of his hand. Although he had a chance of winning against a sixth-level swordsman wielding a weapon, the odds were extremely slim.
and.
This woman named Xue Ji has killed many people. Once Huyan Lan is no match for her, she will die a tragic death on the spot.
"It's the same question as before," Huyan Lan turned and smiled, " Su Hang, what kind of woman do you like?"
Su Hang was stunned.
His answer was that she was beautiful, had good values, and a good temper, which resonated with Huyan Lan to the point of tears, and she subsequently became his close friend. But let's be honest with ourselves.
That's just the conventional standard of a good woman in the world. Because he has never met a woman he likes, he doesn't know what kind of woman he should like.
"I... I don't know."
Huyan Lan laughed and scolded, "Little brat, you're finally telling the truth! You really aren't my best friend!"
"Damn it! Can you two stop with your best friend issues?" Yin Long, seeing Xue Ji closing in step by step, shrank behind Su Hang in fear. "Let's figure out how to deal with that cold-blooded thing first!"
"Then, Coin Sex Fiend!" Huyan Lan tossed out the car keys.
Yin Long quickly caught it, "Big-breasted girl, what's this?"
"I'm entrusting Su Hang Liuli you." Huyan Lan stood with her back to her, adopting an offensive stance. "If any outsider harms a single hair on their heads, I'll smash your head open even as a ghost!"
"Holy crap!"
Yin Long crossed his arms and hissed, "What a vicious oath."
Su Hang couldn't help but say, " Huyan Lan, you..."
"Stop talking!"
Huyan Lan rudely interrupted, "You're so fussy, are you even a man? Coin Sex Fiend, take them away!"
Yin Long hurriedly pulled Su Hang Liuli the fire escape.
"Come back here alive Huyan Lan!"
Huyan Lan was stunned, then lowered her head and chuckled softly, "You're just like that emotionless Imperial Emperor. The woman you like is right beside you, but you don't even realize it. It's surprisingly infuriating!"
"You're smiling so happily, Phoenix Fire."
"Indeed... Phoenix Fire?" Huyan Lan suddenly looked up, staring at Xue Ji who was so close to him like a wolf. "Who are you? How do you know my game name from when I was in the Hundred Demons Team?"
Xue Ji gripped her naginata, tilted her head, and asked, "Let me ask you a question: What kind of man do you like?"
What kind of man?
The Imperial Emperor game avatar immediately popped into Huyan Lan's mind.
Xue Ji gripped her naginata, her gaze deep and somber, and said, "Then I'll answer for you: I like Captain of the Imperial Crown of the Imperial Emperor."
Huyan Lan's breathing was unsteady. "So what?"
"So, why betray the person you love?" The corridor lights went out instantly, and when they came back on, Xue Ji's naginata was Huyan Lan's neck. "Answer me!"
Damn it!
Huyan Lan's hair stood on end. The time it took for the lights to go off and come back on was no more than three seconds. How could the other person have gotten so close to him so silently?
Tell me who you are?
" Hundred Demons Team Snow Woman ".
" Snow Woman?"
Huyan Lan's pupils dilated as painful memories resurfaced.
I was Nurarihyon into the Hundred Demons Team by Nurarihyon, the vice-captain of Hundred Demons. I encountered a very skilled female mid-laner, and was repeatedly crushed by her.
That person's game name is Snow Woman).
"So you're Snow Woman- onna, the vice-captain of the Hundred Demons Squad," Huyan Lan sneered. "I never imagined you were a ruthless executioner in real life."
"Answer my question." Xue Ji's naginata drew closer.
"Telling you won't hurt," Huyan Lan said nonchalantly. "Because I wanted to betray the Imperial Emperor, so I did."
Bang!
Xue Ji's fist, imbued with immense force, slammed into her lower abdomen.
Huyan Lan a muffled groan, and blood instantly trickled from the corner of his mouth.
Xue Ji said coldly, "Lying!"
"Ha!" Huyan Lan spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm. "Kill me or torture me, do whatever you want, but don't try to get anything out of me."
"Does she want to die?" Xue Ji asked, narrowing her eyes.
"Kill me! Come on! Slash me here!" Huyan Lan thrust her neck forward in front of the naginata, glaring at him with unwavering confidence, and said, "Kill me, kill me now!"
Xue Ji stared at Huyan Lan's face for a long time.
You were lying after all.
Xue Ji sheathed her naginata.
"You won't kill me?"
Huyan Lan was stunned.
"My naginata does not kill those who have not betrayed me, unless His Highness gives the order," Xue Ji said coldly. "You have not betrayed the Imperial Emperor, and His Highness has not explicitly given an order to execute you, so I will not kill you."
"Are you kidding me?" Huyan Lan said as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world. "Anyone who has ever played King of King of Glory knows that the Phoenix in her Phoenix Crown and Rosy Robes gown betrayed the Imperial Emperor, the Captain of the Imperial Crown?"
Xue Ji glanced at her and said, "I've had extraordinary senses since I was a child, and I can distinguish between lies and truth by observing changes in a person's aura."
Huyan Lan scoffed, "You're kidding me."
Xue Ji said calmly, "The first person I killed was my mother; she betrayed my father and had an affair. The second person I killed was my father; she betrayed my stepmother and had an affair. The third person I killed was my stepmother..."
"Stop!" Huyan Lan said, his skin crawling with horror. "Just how many people have you killed?"
Xue Ji shook her head. "I can't remember, but there should be around a hundred people."
Only then did Huyan Lan realize just how vicious and ruthless the white-clad woman with the naginata standing before him truly was.
"You may leave." Xue Ji turned and walked away. "No matter how stubborn you are, it doesn't change the fact that you haven't betrayed the Imperial Emperor."
"What a strange woman."
Huyan Lan a sigh of relief. At least she had escaped with her life. "I'll go meet up with Su Hang and the others right away!"
Everyone says candied hawthorn berries are sour, but they're actually sweet inside!
An old-fashioned telephone ringing could be heard from not far away.
"Yes, Your Highness, I understand."
The next second.
Xue Ji blocked Huyan Lan's path like a ghost.
Huyan Lan asked warily, "What are you going to do?"
Xue Ji's eyes flashed with murderous intent as she raised her naginata high.
"I'm sorry! This is His Highness's order!"
