As Ye Chu spoke, a cold and sinister aura erupted from his body, and a bloody mist permeated the air. This caused the expression of a cultivator to change drastically. Looking at Ye Chu with a hint of terror in his eyes, the man, who had originally intended to collect a toll, no longer dared to approach Ye Chu and could only watch him stride away.
Along the way, Zhong Wei was terrified because the Ye Chu before her was acting far too arrogantly. No matter who it was, as long as they provoked him, he would definitely beat them until they spat blood. In the short half hour since entering the city, Ye Chu had already crippled five or six groups of people.
One of these groups was the local gang of Gorge City. They came to collect a toll from Ye Chu, but were also beaten and crippled by him, then thrown out. In the end, this provoked over a hundred people to besiege Ye Chu.
However, Ye Chu’s strength was much greater than Zhong Wei had imagined. His fists swept out one after another, and within a short time, the hundred people were lying on the ground. The two leaders among them were directly turned into dried corpses.
Looking at those two dried corpses, many people were terrified. They looked at Ye Chu with sheer fear and no longer dared to come and trouble him.
Only Zhong Wei, with cold sweat on her palms, watched Ye Chu act arrogantly and domineeringly in the Wilderness City.
“He is truly a bastard, he actually dares to do this!” Every time Zhong Wei thought that everyone in the city might be their enemy, she could not help but tremble at the thought.
Yet, under Ye Chu’s continuous arrogance, he led Zhong Wei to an inn, immediately requested a superior room, and the two entered the room.
Once inside the room, Zhong Wei finally let out a light breath, patting her full chest with her hand. “I do not know how many people in this entire city have their eyes on us. Acting so arrogantly, are you not afraid of being discovered?”
Zhong Wei’s dissatisfied rebuke made Ye Chu shrug. “It is precisely because everyone in this city is our enemy that I can only act arrogantly and domineeringly. They would never expect us to dare do this right under their noses.”
“That is true!” Zhong Wei said, “but do you know what kind of place the Wilderness City is? It is a bandit’s nest! Acting so arrogantly, you might end up provoking someone we cannot afford to offend. When they come to our door, they will eventually discover our identities.”
Ye Chu smiled and said, “You know about the Blood Guards, so you know the dread they inspire. Even if there truly are such people, they will still have to respect the uniform we are wearing. Rest assured, I act with proper measure. Moreover, if we are truly discovered, with my strength, I can easily escape.”
“You…” Zhong Wei was choked by Ye Chu’s words, staring at him hatefully. But she had to face this reality. Just as Ye Chu said, if it truly came to that, Ye Chu could completely abandon her and escape on his own.
Zhong Wei let out a light breath and stared fixedly at Ye Chu, saying, “There is not a single good man among them, they are all selfish bastards, and you are no different from him. Moreover, you are even more of a failure compared to him. Because he has the strength to control everyone, while you only think about running away.”
“Although I do not know who you are talking about, it is best not to compare him with me. I do not think there is any man in this world more outstanding than me!” Ye Chu sighed, “Perhaps there is, but that would only be after I have a son.”
“…” Zhong Wei let out a light breath, trying hard not to lose her temper. This guy’s words were so disgusting that she truly had the urge to slap him to death.
“Although I despise him very much, in comparison, I despise you even more. Compared to him, you are not as handsome, not as smart, and not as strong. If it were not for the strength you have shown recently, I would even think you are a useless person.” Zhong Wei seemed to be enraged, opening her mouth to fiercely attack Ye Chu.
“Since he is so much better than me, then why are you avoiding him and sharing a room with me?” Ye Chu looked at Zhong Wei with a beaming smile, unmoved by the woman’s words.
“You…” Zhong Wei felt all her words were choked in her throat and could not be spoken. Angered, she turned her head and ignored Ye Chu.
“Hey! If you truly hate me this much, should you not get a room for yourself instead of sharing a room with me?” Ye Chu saw Zhong Wei occupying the bed and reminded her.
“You can sit on the floor and cultivate!” Zhong Wei replied to Ye Chu, “Also, I know what you are plotting. It is just because I am the niece of the Sect Master of the Artifact Sect. If you can save me on this trip, I promise to have the Artifact Sect give you a proper artifact refining method.”
Hearing Zhong Wei say this, Ye Chu smiled. He thought to himself that taking her along was precisely for this purpose, otherwise why did she think he saved her?
Because you are beautiful? Indeed, you are beautiful enough to make one’s heart flutter. But Ye Chu had encountered so many beauties, he was long past the age of losing his mind at the sight of a beautiful woman.
“I did not save you for the Artifact Sect’s techniques, but because you are beautiful and I plan to take you home to be my bandit wife!” Ye Chu said, looking at Zhong Wei with a beaming smile.
Zhong Wei glanced at Ye Chu and then said, “Do not say I do not believe this, even if I did. You would not dare to do it. If that person knew you dared to covet what belongs to him, your entire clan would be exterminated!”
“More arrogant and domineering than me?” Ye Chu muttered, looking at Zhong Wei and saying, “Hey! With a person like that, why do you not hurry up and abandon him?”
Zhong Wei glanced at Ye Chu, too lazy to pay him any mind. She felt she had misjudged Ye Chu the first time she saw him. Back then, she thought he was an ordinary scoundrel. But now it seemed he was a disaster with some strength and an audacious lust.
But no matter what kind of person he was, he still disgusted her.
Zhong Wei sat on the bed and pulled down the bed curtain, isolating herself from Ye Chu. Through the bed curtain, Ye Chu could vaguely see her graceful and enchanting figure. The room fell silent, and the two could even hear each other’s breathing.
That hazy and blurry feeling was the most provocative. Watching Zhong Wei let down her long hair on the other side of the bed curtain, and her clothes being taken off, her graceful and enchanting delicate figure was even more pronounced.
Zhong Wei was on the bed. She could feel those eyes watching her. Although she felt shy, thinking that the bed curtain was blocking the view, she still turned her back to Ye Chu and took off her bloodstained clothes.
She had not changed her clothes all the way through the dusty journey, still wearing the bloodstained garments from the spatial passage. Now at the inn, it was just right to change into a clean set. For a woman, this was a big matter.
The rustling sounds accompanied the hazy and delicate figure. Ye Chu could vaguely see her flat and smooth back, and could see her slender, graspable waist. A romantic and ambiguous atmosphere permeated the room. Ye Chu had to admit that this woman was extremely tempting.
The room was completely silent, leaving only the alluring light and shadows reflected on the bed curtain.
Blushing deeply, Zhong Wei finished changing her clothes and turned to look at the bed curtain. She could see the blurry figure outside the bed curtain, and comforted herself in her heart, “He probably cannot see anything, right? He can only see a shadow!”
But she did not understand that this kind of hazy and romantic ambiguity was exactly what made people’s minds wander the most.
