boom.
The moment the words left his mouth.
Yao Yue's pretty face flushed bright red in an instant, and the shame and anger that had subsided swept over her body once again.
" Chu Yunfei!!"
Yao Yue screamed, trembling with rage:
"You're spouting nonsense! You... you're just trying to take advantage of me."
"You vile, shameless bastard, you were definitely playing me!!"
What he meant was... he wanted to keep getting slapped by this bastard?
She had never heard of such absurd and despicable methods.
Within his sea of consciousness, Xiaoxiao Dragon was also dumbfounded:
"You brat... the lies you've made up are way too outrageous! Even a three-year-old wouldn't believe them!"
Chu Yunfei's heart tightened slightly.
Could it be that my explanation... was so outrageous that it was seen through?
Having lived two lives, his skin was as hard as iron, and his expression showed no sign of panic; instead, it suddenly turned cold.
"Ignorance!"
Chu Yunfei flicked his sleeve and snorted coldly, his face full of disappointment and anger:
Do you think I'd care about taking advantage of you for something like this?!
"Your perfected physique was forcibly advanced from a special origin, and the origin is mixed and impure. That acupoint is the vital point where the spiritual meridians of your body converge."
"Just now, I accidentally sealed the key point. If I don't use external force to reverse and disperse the blocked source, even if your cultivation is extraordinary, you won't be able to mobilize even a trace of demonic power."
Chu Yunfei crossed his arms and nonchalantly curled his lip:
"This is the only solution, believe it or not."
"Anyway, I'm not the one whose cultivation is completely destroyed. If you think I'm lying to you, you can just live and die in this imperial city with this mortal body. Farewell."
Having said that, Chu Yunfei turned and walked away without looking back.
Seeing Chu Yunfei's resolute and indifferent back, Yao Yue was originally furious, suddenly felt a pang of panic.
He... left so decisively?
Could it be... that he's telling the truth?!
Yao Yue stood frozen in place, her purple eyes flickering uncertainly, her mind frantically weighing the options.
According to ancient records from Qingqiu, people with special constitutions do indeed suffer from many inexplicable hidden illnesses.
Moreover... when that palm struck just now, there was indeed a scorching and domineering burst of violent energy that rushed up her spine straight to her spiritual platform, forcibly sealing off her Divine Sea.
If it can be sealed with a single palm strike... then going against the grain and using a specific method to deflect it seems... not entirely illogical from a medical and martial arts perspective?
Although the method is extremely shameful... what if it's true?
If I don't try, I'll truly become a useless person for the rest of my life.
"Wait! You stop right there!"
Yao Yue's urgent voice sounded from behind.
Chu Yunfei's lips curled slightly, a hint of triumph flashing in his eyes, but when he turned around, his face remained indifferent.
"What is it? Is there anything else?"
Yao Yue bit her lower lip hard, her face turning pale and then flushed, as if she were going through a thousand intense struggles in her heart.
After a long while, as if all her strength had been drained, she closed her eyes listlessly and said in a trembling voice:
"Okay... I'll trust you this once."
"But... I can't wait any longer. I can't bear the feeling of being just an ordinary person for even a second longer."
Yao Yue suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze fixed intently on Chu Yunfei:
"Come now and help me recover."
As she spoke, under Chu Yunfei's astonished gaze, this pure-blooded princess of the Qingqiu Royal Clan actually gritted her teeth and was about to lie back down on the cold stone path.
Her long, slender legs were slightly curled up, their graceful curves fully revealed in the moonlight.
Holy crap?!
Chu Yunfei froze on the spot, his chin nearly hitting the back of his foot.
Xiaoxiao Dragon, deep within her sea of consciousness, widened her beautiful eyes and froze on the spot.
She actually believed it?
This woman actually accepted this utterly absurd and flawed excuse without question!
And not only did he believe it, he even eagerly bent over and asked to be beaten?
Chu Yunfei's lips twitched violently, his gaze unconsciously falling on the full, undulating breasts tightly wrapped in the black dress.
Could it be... that such "big-breasted and brainless" beings truly exist in this world?
Chu Yunfei had no idea that Yao Yue had been born in Qingqiu since childhood and was carefully protected by the entire clan. Apart from her daily seclusion and arduous cultivation, she devoted herself to studying array diagrams and martial arts techniques.
She has a powerful cultivation level and a superb physique in the Divine Sea Realm, but when it comes to guarding against the treacherous nature of people's hearts and the dangers of the world, she is not even as good as an ordinary dart walker in the human race.
Having suffered the devastating blow of having her "foundation completely destroyed," her mind had long since collapsed. As long as there was even a sliver of hope for recovery, how could she possibly care about distinguishing truth from falsehood?
Seeing that Yao Yue was about to fall to the ground without any defense, Chu Yunfei's eyelids twitched wildly. He quickly stepped forward, grabbed her smooth, delicate shoulder, and pulled her up.
"Wait! Are you crazy?!"
Chu Yunfei snapped at him impatiently.
Yao Yue stumbled as he pulled her, nearly falling into his arms. Her pretty face turned pale, and she glared at him with a mixture of shame and anger.
"What are you doing? Didn't you say that stimulating acupoints would help me recover? I already agreed, so why are you pulling me now?"
Chu Yunfei rubbed his forehead, somewhat speechless.
"Hey Princess Yao Yue, open your eyes and look around! Where are you?"
"In an open, dark alley, if a few Rogue Cultivator happen to pass by, you, the dignified Princess of Qingqiu, may not care about your reputation, but I do."
Chu Yunfei rolled his eyes at her, annoyed, and continued his nonsense:
"Moreover, performing this reverse meridian technique is extremely dangerous. I need to bathe and burn incense first to calm my blood and qi, and I also need to prepare several kinds of auxiliary meridian-warming medicines. How can I just do it recklessly on the street?!"
Yao Yue paused slightly, subconsciously glancing around at the dark, ruined walls, before suddenly snapping back to reality.
Yes... I was so angry just now that I almost let this man do those indescribable things to me right there on the street.
If someone were to witness this and report it back to the Western Continent, she, the princess of Qingqiu, would likely lose all face on the spot.
A wave of lingering fear washed over her, Yao Yue's expression softened slightly, but her beautiful eyes remained fixed on Chu Yunfei's face with extreme vigilance.
"Then tell me, where should we prepare? When should we start?!"
"I don't care, you're not getting rid of me tonight until you help me fully recover my cultivation."
Yao Yue stepped forward, tightly gripping Chu Yunfei's forearm with both hands, almost pressing her entire body against him, and said through gritted teeth:
"I'm powerless right now. If you run away, who will I turn to? I'll go wherever you go!"
Feeling the amazing softness on his arm and the rich, intoxicating fragrance, Chu Yunfei's heart skipped a beat, but a bitter taste appeared on his lips.
What's this?
You dug your own hole, and now you've ended up with a ton of fox fur that you can't shake off?
He was going to see Lin Wanyin next.
They might even be forced into a fierce and earth-shattering battle. What's the point of having such a burden by your side?
If Lin Wanyin were to see him, he feared he would be killed by a single sword strike before the battle even began.
"No!"
Chu Yunfei decisively withdrew his arm, refusing sternly:
You can't follow me.
Yao Yue's pretty face suddenly turned cold, and she sneered repeatedly:
"Can't follow you? Chu Yunfei, you really are planning to start something and then abandon it... Bah! You really are planning to flee to escape punishment!"
"Let me tell you, unless you help me restore my cultivation, you won't get rid of me even a step."
Chu Yunfei was both amused and exasperated. He tried to shake his sleeves twice but failed, so he could only force a serious expression on his handsome face, feigning depth and solemnity.
"You vixen, stop your nonsense."
"The reason I can't take you is because I have important business to attend to."
Chu Yunfei gazed intently into the distance:
"To tell you the truth, I'm going to deal with an extremely terrifying and ruthless character."
"That person is ruthless, devouring people's life essence. Even I have to go all out; the slightest mistake could cost me my life."
Chu Yunfei turned his head and stared coldly at Yao Yue:
"You are now nothing but a mortal, unable to even withstand the aftershocks of our battle. Following me... will only lead to your death!"
They had originally thought that these harsh words would be enough to scare away this naive demon.
However.
Upon hearing the words "ruthless character," Yao Yue's purple eyes showed no fear whatsoever; instead, they suddenly lit up with a burning and intense curiosity.
She blinked her big eyes, her red lips slightly upturned, and fearlessly leaned closer:
"Oh?"
"There are actually powerful figures in this imperial city who even a madman like you finds dangerous?"
Yao Yue tilted her head, her eyes full of inquiry:
"Just who is this person? Tell us quickly!"
After he said that, Chu Yunfei fell completely silent.
He was just talking nonsense.
The enchantress not only failed to notice anything amiss, but became increasingly interested as she listened.
Is the brain of this Demon Race structurally different from that of humans?
Deep within her consciousness, Xiaoxiao Dragon crossed her arms and laughed so hard she almost fell over, her illusory body trembling.
"Hahahaha! You brat, in all my years I've lived, I've never seen such an gullible, stupid fox!"
Chu Yunfei rubbed his temples, suppressing the helplessness in his heart.
He looked at Yao Yue's exquisite, flawless face, which was filled with curiosity, and said seriously, "Demoness, I think you should find a pharmacist who is skilled in healing demonic beasts before you recover your strength."
Yao Yue frowned, somewhat displeased. "Why? This princess isn't injured, why do I need to find a pharmacist?"
Chu Yunfei inwardly cursed him.
You're not injured, but there's something wrong with your brain!
