Chapter 47: Do You Think I’m Dirty?

After Yang Kai and Hu Mei’er disappeared one after the other into the depths of the dense forest, two silhouettes slipped out from behind a tree not far away.

One of them stared in the direction Yang Kai had vanished with deep-seated hatred. His handsome face still bore some bruising, a clear sign that he had been beaten up in recent days.

The other man had a dark, sinister gaze. He fixated on Hu Mei’er’s swaying hips, a peculiar glint flashing in his eyes.

"Junior Brother Cheng, you were beaten by someone like that?" the cold-looking young man asked, eyeing Cheng Shaofeng with a hint of amusement. "Even though you’ve only just broken through to the Origin Opening Realm, it shouldn’t be to the point where you’re no match for him. That kid looks like he’s only in the Body Tempering Realm."

Cheng Shaofeng’s face flushed with embarrassment. "I was a bit careless at the time. Plus, that guy is really strange. When he fights, he completely disregards his own life. When I thrust my sword at him, he actually blocked it with his palm. The longsword pierced right through, yet he didn’t even utter a single sound. Not only did he trap my sword, but he also grabbed hold of one of my arms. That’s why I lost."

"Oh? That is somewhat interesting. I just wonder who is more ruthless—him or me."

Cheng Shaofeng offered an obsequious smile. "Naturally, Senior Brother Nu Tao is far more formidable. How could he possibly compare to you?"

"Have you thoroughly investigated his background? Don’t end up provoking some big shot," Nu Tao asked, sounding slightly uneasy.

"I’ve looked into it. Within Lingxiao Pavilion, this kid is nothing but a Trial Disciple. He has absolutely no background. Killing someone like him won’t cause any trouble."

"Haha, a Trial Disciple? As far as I know, Lingxiao Pavilion has fewer than ten Trial Disciples, right? And he’s one of them?" Nu Tao chuckled as if he had just heard a great joke. Upon hearing the words ’Trial Disciple,’ all his worries vanished in an instant. Such people were the disgrace of Lingxiao Pavilion; by stepping in to clean out the trash, he would practically be doing Lingxiao Pavilion a huge favor.

"Yeah. Originally, I was worried that it wouldn’t be easy to make a move with so many people passing through Heifeng Forest. I never expected this kid to be so lustful that he’d actually follow that slut into the depths of the dense forest to do something shameless. Heaven is truly on my side."

Nu Tao smiled. "It looks like not only will you get your revenge this time, Junior Brother, but you’ll also get lucky. Truly killing two birds with one stone."

Cheng Shaofeng also laughed. "What are you saying, Senior Brother? You’re the helper I invited. How could I keep such a good thing all to myself? Later, you can take the first turn, and I’ll stand guard for you."

"You’re a true friend, Junior Brother!" Nu Tao said, unable to hide his impatience. "Let’s go. We shouldn’t delay. We’ll catch up to them and look for a chance to strike."

Deep within Heifeng Forest.

Yang Kai continued to walk, turning his head back occasionally with a cold sneer. At first, Hu Mei’er had been somewhat worried, but after seeing that Yang Kai was merely bluffing, she was no longer afraid. In fact, she caught up to his pace and clung to his arm with utmost intimacy.

"What exactly are you trying to pull?" Yang Kai asked, somewhat irritated.

"Sleep with me once! I’ll never bother you again after that!" Seeing that there was no one around, Hu Mei’er spoke without any filter.

"In your dreams!"

"Am I not beautiful?" Hu Mei’er gave him a sultry look.

"A woman’s beauty is divided into the external and the internal. Your exterior is decent, and you certainly have assets to be proud of, but your inside is simply an eyesore." Yang Kai looked at her coldly.

These words were rather harsh. Hu Mei’er’s face darkened upon hearing them, and she asked coldly, "You think I’m dirty?"

"Yes!" Yang Kai replied bluntly.

Hu Mei’er’s pretty face turned frosty, and she scoffed. "You’re nothing but a Trial Disciple of Lingxiao Pavilion. Even though my strength isn’t as high as yours, I am the Little Princess of the Blood War Gang. It’s your blessing that I’ve taken a fancy to you, yet you’re actually so ungrateful! Do you have any idea how many people out there are scheming to get their hands on me?"

"Then Her Highness the Little Princess can go find those people. Why bother pestering me?" Yang Kai’s expression remained indifferent.

"Yang Kai, don’t push your luck! If I go back and tell my father that I was humiliated by you, even if you are a member of Lingxiao Pavilion, you absolutely won’t live to see the sun tomorrow!" Hu Mei’er shrieked at the top of her lungs. Yang Kai’s attitude had thoroughly enraged her and made her lose all face. After all, her status wasn’t low; when had she ever suffered such an insult?

Yang Kai gave a cold smile of his own. "May I ask Her Highness the Little Princess, if I kill you right here and now, will you still have the chance to go back and complain?"

Hu Mei’er froze at those words. Consumed by anger just a moment ago, she had completely forgotten that they were deep within Heifeng Forest. If Yang Kai truly dared to make a move, she would have zero chance of leaving alive. Moreover, this place was absolutely the perfect location for murder and disposing of a corpse. It was safe to say that if she really died here, her death would be in vain.

At this thought, Hu Mei’er hurriedly kept a vigilant eye on Yang Kai and hastily backed up a few steps, asking in a trembling voice, "You’re joking, right?"

"My patience is limited," Yang Kai said flatly.

Hu Mei’er stared fixedly at him, her eyes filled with humiliation and annoyance, yet she didn’t dare to lash out. She wasn’t sure if what Yang Kai had just said was a joke or if he meant it.

Just as Hu Mei’er was agonizing over this, Yang Kai’s expression flickered, and he looked vigilantly to the side.

Whether intentionally or not, Yang Kai shifted his footing to block the path in front of Hu Mei’er. Staring at a large tree, he barked out softly, "Come out!"

Hu Mei’er was astonished to hear this, but the next moment, she understood exactly what was going on.

Two people suddenly slipped out from behind the tree, sneering as they walked over. Their laughter sounded eerie and unnatural. One locked his eyes on Yang Kai, while the other kept his gaze fixed on Hu Mei’er.

"Cheng Shaofeng? Nu Tao?" Hu Mei’er clearly recognized them, voicing her confusion. However, in the blink of an eye, she realized why these two had appeared here.

Now, Yang Kai was probably in danger.

Feeling uncomfortable all over under Nu Tao’s brazen gaze, Hu Mei’er couldn’t help but furrow her brows, quietly shrinking back behind Yang Kai.

"Sister Mei’er, we’ve only come here this time to take this kid’s life. Step aside so you don’t get hurt!" Cheng Shaofeng said to Hu Mei’er as he came to a halt fifty feet in front of Yang Kai, slowly drawing the longsword from his waist.

Nu Tao laughed sinisterly. "That’s right. If you were to get hurt, my heart would ache."
