FVN Chapter 34 32. Sooner or later
Chapter 34 32. Sooner or later
The ancient town now seemed like a city of the dead.
The fog was hazy, the moonlight bleak, with no one to inquire after it.
When Liu Ruoxue approached Xu Yuan, walking with a slightly strange gait, he stood with his hands clasped behind his back, quietly gazing at the moon.
Although her heart harbored great disdain for the demon-like youth before her, Liu Ruoxue had to admit that the boy bathed in the moonlight's halo was extremely handsome.
His features were exquisite, his presence ethereal, his white clothes immaculate, resembling a noble jade tree in a crystal forest, wholly the image of a Gentleman of the Turbulent Times with a chivalrous heart, especially those eyes and brows - deep-set eyes like an abyss, thick eyebrows like drapes, giving the illusion that his gaze was a sword sheathed, startling one into wakefulness.
Shame that, beyond his appearance, he was utterly worthless.
Liu Ruoxue silently thought.
Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks.
She wasn't sure if it was her delusion, but she felt the bead had trembled slightly as she moved.
Yet every time she paused to sense it closely, she couldn't detect anything.
It must be psychological.
She silently thought.
"What are you doing here?"
If one listened closely to Liu Ruoxue's voice, it wouldn't be hard to detect a slight tremble contained within.
This was because she was still unaccustomed to the situation.
Xu Yuan, as if he hadn't noticed anything, smilingly said, "Do you think they'll be able to find this place?"
"The secrets of this place, my Master also took a long time to unravel. I think...even if it's possible, it should require quite some effort."
Liu Ruoxue reflected for a moment before speaking.
"Yet I feel they will be arriving very soon."
"Oh?"
Liu Ruoxue turned to look at him, her profound gaze falling on his face, her thoughts inscrutable.
"You have a lot of confidence in them?"
Xu Yuan nodded, then added, "Can you beat them?"
"..."
Liu Ruoxue decisively shook her head.
Even if she had ingested the Sword-Swallowing Pill and wielded an ancient sword divine weapon, she was still no match for them.
She could clearly sense that.
"Since that's the case, why not give me the Mother and Child Mirrors, what do you say?"
It wouldn't be difficult to imagine the two of them fighting a fierce battle over him.
However, what despicable method did this Outer Domain Demon use to make those peerlessly beautiful women so devoted to him?
Liu Ruoxue couldn't quite understand and looked at him with eyes filled with disbelief and complexity.
This shameless scoundrel, could it be they were blind? Otherwise, how could they fancy him?
"Is that so?"
Liu Ruoxue took a deep breath, and a smile blossomed on her tranquil face, akin to that of an ancient sword.
"But what if I were to tell them about the lecherous acts you just committed against me, what reaction do you think they would have?"
The young girl smiled sweetly, like an ancient sword drawn from a sheath after a thousand years, her grace stunning everyone around.
It was a pity there was no one else to witness this breathtaking scene apart from him.
Watching Xu Yuan's smile fade and his brows furrow slightly.
Liu Ruoxue's smile grew broader and more radiant, her picturesque features becoming even more enchanting.
The things he did under her skirt a while ago were still crystal clear in her memory.
Now he wanted to pretend to be uninvolved?
No way.
"Alright, then let me tell you another secret," Xu Yuan sighed as if in resignation, then walked over and very naturally took the mirror, still warm, from her hand, saying, "The clue to finding that survivor actually lies with you."
The smile on Liu Ruoxue's face grew even wider.
A short while later, recalling Xu Yuan leaving with a faint smile on his lips after taking the mirror from her hand.
Liu Ruoxue suddenly seemed to understand something, her smile slowly fading as her brow became furrowed.
She had been ready to bury that humiliating incident deep in her heart and not bring it up again.
Why... had she just now brought it up again on her own?
Not only that, but she had also used it to threaten him?
It was as if she had deliberately enticed him to commit such acts!
Liu Ruoxue's cheeks burned with heat, and her ears turned red.
At this thought, the recent incident came back to her mind.
The sensations that she had tried to forget surged back, sending shivers up her spine.
The part of her body that had just gotten used to the object's presence was once again filled with a restless heat.
Curse that Silver Demon, it must all be his fault!
Liu Ruoxue glared at the young man who was strolling in the moonlight and examining the mirror, and said viciously, "Someday, I'll kill you."
