Chapter 793 The Mysterious Village
Her eyes were fixed intently on Ye Xuanyue.
The girl before her was extraordinarily beautiful...the most stunning appearance she had ever seen. She had not known that the person arriving would be such a pretty... and also such a troublesome young girl.
She clenched her lips tightly, determined to say nothing.
The next second, she suddenly felt a strange, pervasive itch spreading from within her body.
The intensity of that itch seemed bearable at first. But as time passed, it continuously grew, reaching a level that was utterly unbearable.
She could not help but widen her eyes. What was happening?
She felt a desperate desire to give anything, just to stop this strange itching sensation.
Ye Xuanyue looked at her calmly and then spoke,
"My elixir made contact with your lips earlier."
The girl was on the verge of biting through her own lips. She raised her head, looking with difficulty at Ye Xuanyue, her voice tinged with venomous resentment.
"So... you knew from the very beginning... from the start, that I was pretending?"
Ye Xuanyue did not speak.
She and Leng Moran had experienced countless trials and dangers, had fallen into numerous traps, so they were naturally exceptionally cautious.
The person before her, thinking such a clumsy act could fool them, was the biggest joke.
She raised her head, looked seriously at the person before her, and then spoke softly,
"What do you think?"
When traveling outside, caution was essential. One could hold goodwill toward others, but it had to be based on the ability to protect oneself first. If one could not even protect oneself, yet still tried to save others in such a situation... wouldn’t that be too foolish?
Ye Xuanyue’s gaze was serious as she looked at the two people before her.
"So, can you tell me why you appear here to harm others?"
Half an Hour Later
Ye Xuanyue watched the two people walking unsteadily ahead. The man and woman were moving forward. Leng Moran slightly furrowed his brow, then lowered his head to communicate with Ye Xuanyue using spiritual power.
"Do you think what they said earlier was true or false?"
Their explanation to Ye Xuanyue was rather interesting. These two claimed they were hiding here, trying to rob passersby out of desperation.
Ye Xuanyue naturally did not believe such nonsense...but one thing did interest her.
According to these two, there was a village here. They were the best fighters from that village. The village was very mysterious, hidden somewhere in this forest. That was why Ye Xuanyue decided to investigate.
Leng Moran did not really understand why Ye Xuanyue would be interested in an unknown little village like this, but Ye Xuanyue glanced at the young man beside her, noted his cool brows and eyes, and her mental message carried a faint hint of laughter.
"Don’t you think... for a small village to produce two Martial Kings, it’s already an extremely remarkable thing?"
"Not everyone can compare to you."
"Even in the Imperial City, they would be considered outstanding talents, yet they appear in such a remote place. Isn’t that extremely interesting?"
Leng Moran’s expression held a touch of helpless fondness.
"You’re just bold. If their elders truly possess notable cultivation strength, then we might be the ones facing trouble and headaches."
He also knew the little village was probably not simple. But currently, they had their own objective. It was best to avoid extra trouble.
"I’m worried we’re walking into a trap ourselves."
He said this quite seriously. Ye Xuanyue smiled and then spoke,
"Worry about what."
"If it really comes to it, we can use the banner Purple Emperor gave and just run away."
"We wouldn’t be unable to escape, at the very least."
"If this little village had a master surpassing the Martial Emperor level, they wouldn’t need to hide here so secretly."
"And they sent these two out to ambush... it’s possible this village is completely different from what you imagine. Want to make a bet with me?"
Leng Moran glanced at the girl beside him. Her eyes held a faint glimmer of amusement. He thought seriously for a moment, then transmitted his message,
"Okay, but if you’re betting with me..."
His eyes held a subtle, barely-there smile, and he continued his mental message,
"If you lose, you have to let me kiss you."
"If you win, I’ll let you kiss me."
Ye Xuanyue did not catch anything wrong at first, but near the end she realized the mischievous intentions Leng Moran was hiding.
Ye Xuanyue silently glared at him, feeling somewhat flustered and annoyed, but Leng Moran was thick-skinned.
He looked at Ye Xuanyue with a grin, not the least bit embarrassed.
Of course, he knew checking it out along the way was fine. He was just intentionally teasing Ye Xuanyue. There could not be any major danger.
Ye Xuanyue simply had no way to deal with the person beside her whose skin was as thick as a city wall. She blinked her eyes, but then heard the woman ahead speak in a trembling, shrinking voice,
"We’re... we’re almost there."
She raised her head, looking at Ye Xuanyue’s eyes, but her gaze was fearful and nervous.
This girl’s appearance was stunningly beautiful. She had thought Ye Xuanyue was the kind who was pure-hearted and easy to deal with, but she never expected it to be completely different.
The demeanor displayed by Ye Xuanyue was rational and calm. There was almost no room for influence.
Moreover, during her interactions with her, the girl broke out in cold sweat. If she hesitated even slightly, this girl with stunning beauty could immediately tell if she was lying, leaving her speechless.
This girl was truly terrifying. She seemed to possess a power that could see through people’s hearts.
That was why she finally gritted her teeth and revealed the matter of the village.
Their village...
A trace of timidity flashed in her eyes, but her expression was tense and unsettled as she continued to speak,
"I can take you inside."
"The matter of us trying to harm you... could you please not bring it up in the village?"
Leng Moran turned his face. The corner of his lips curved into a cold smile. His voice sounded full of mockery,
"Oh?"
"You acted so despicably yourselves, yet you ask me not to bring it up? Based on what? Where do you get the face?"
If Xuanyue had not been prepared and had not had Little White’s protection, the hidden weapon would have seriously injured her. For people like this, Leng Moran would absolutely not give them a pleasant look. He snorted coldly.
His aura was already extremely powerful, and now, with a cold face, it made him seem even more formidable.
The woman opposite bit her lip, as if about to cry.
Ye Xuanyue’s expression remained calm.
"You lead us inside first, then we’ll see."
Ye Xuanyue looked at the woman before her, her expression placid. She did not feel any sympathy for the person opposite...because Ye Xuanyue had studied human micro-expressions.
The woman opposite seemed pitiful on the surface. But from her micro-expressions, from the occasional flicker of light in her eyes, Ye Xuanyue could sense that this woman was clearly calculating something.
