Chapter 23: He's Actually Nice to You
Seeing Ling Xue's expression, Yun Luo Xi's brows slightly furrowed. So, this guy... came to
snatch something from her?
"Supreme Demon Lord, don't you find it shameful to snatch something from others?" Yun
Luo Xi coldly retorted.
"He... he's not here to snatch something!" Liu Wenwan hurriedly said, "Fen Yan Tian and his
disciple tried to steal this sub-fire earlier, and he helped us!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Luo Xi was momentarily taken aback. Then, she looked up at the
opening above and gazed at the headless bodies of Fen Yan Tian and his disciple. So... Ling
Xue didn't come to snatch something? He even helped her?
"Never mind whether I came to snatch something or not! Even if I did, so what?" Ling Xue's
figure drifted over, standing in front of Yun Luo Xi, saying nonchalantly, "The weak are prey
to the strong. What's so shameful about that?"
Yun Luo Xi remained silent. Indeed, that was the truth!
At that moment, Ling Xue's finger suddenly extended towards her, and he asked again, "Do
you want it?"
Yun Luo Xi still didn't say anything; of course, she wanted it. But how could she get it from
Ling Xue when it was in his possession? From Ling Xue's tone, it seemed like she had to beg
him for it?
How could she ever bow to Ling Xue?
"As long as you say you want it, I'll give it to you!" Ling Xue's lips curved with a playful
smile. "I just want to hear you say... 'I want it!'"
With those words, Yun Luo Xi's eyebrows furrowed even more. She tightened her jade fist.
She couldn't bear this kind of blatant humiliation from Ling Xue. If she said those two words
according to Ling Xue's wishes, what would that make her? After all, those two words had
more than one meaning!
Immediately, Yun Luo Xi turned her head away and coldly uttered two words, "I refuse!"
Though the Bai Xiang Demon Fire was indeed crucial to her, faced with Ling Xue's bullying,
she would never give in.
"You don't want it? Fine!" Ling Xue chuckled, shaking his head. "Then, I'll just give it to
someone else!"
Yun Luo Xi clenched her fist but couldn't say a word. She wasn't a match for Ling Xue, and
the item was in his hands. What could she do?
All she could do was endure it all!
But even so, she would never bow to Ling Xue.
"Lady Liu, since she doesn't want it, then... I'll give it to you!" At this moment, Ling Xue
suddenly smiled at Liu Wenwan.
At these words, Liu Wenwan was momentarily stunned. "Ah?"
Looking at Ling Xue's young and handsome face, seeing that radiant smile on his face, a faint
rosy flush appeared on Liu Wenwan's cheeks.
What's the meaning of this? Giving it to me? Weren't you just calling me an "old woman"?
So I'm not old after all?
"Is that so? Lady Liu doesn't like it?" Ling Xue continued to inquire.
"No... No! It's not like that!" Liu Wenwan snapped out of her daze and quickly said, "Thank
you, thank you, Lord Demon Lord!"
Without delay, Ling Xue flicked his finger, and the cluster of snow-white flames drifted
towards Liu Wenwan. She hurriedly reached out to receive it, while Yun Luo Xi observed
with complex eyes.
Originally, the Bai Xiang Demon Fire belonged to her, but now Ling Xue had openly given it
to her master. What did this mean?
After leaving the Bai Xiang Demon Fire behind, Ling Xue and Yun Luo Xi exchanged a
glance. Then, with a faint smile, Ling Xue took to the air and walked towards Yuyao Yao and
Xiang Yu before beckoning them to follow. They departed together.
Actually, since they entered this ancient tomb, Yun Luo Xi had always been within his
sensing range. He wanted to ensure that she was present when he obtained the Heaven and
Earth Sword Technique. That's why he had just lent her a hand. He wouldn't stay too far from
her...
As Ling Xue and the others left, only Yun Luo Xi and Liu Wenwan remained in the
scorching sea of magma. Yun Luo Xi's cold and clear eyes kept staring at the direction Ling
Xue had gone, but after a moment, she huffed and withdrew her gaze.
Liu Wenwan's eyes also followed that direction, her face displaying a peculiar smile. Sensing
the strange expression on Liu Wenwan's face, Yun Luo Xi raised an eyebrow but didn't say
anything.
"Do you… think your master is old?" Suddenly, Liu Wenwan muttered softly.
This remark caught Yun Luo Xi off guard. What kind of bizarre question was that? Master,
what are you even thinking?
Liu Wenwan quickly realized that her words didn't sound quite right, so she quickly cleared
her throat, a hint of embarrassment on her face.
"I know. Actually, he deliberately gave it to you, but he used me as a cover!" Liu Wenwan
then quickly laughed, saying, "Here you go!"
As she spoke, she handed the cluster of snow-white flames to Yun Luo Xi. She knew it very
well, and Yun Luo Xi did too. Ling Xue had, in fact, given the Bai Xiang Demon Fire to her
in name, but it was actually meant for Yun Luo Xi. After all, Liu Wenwan had no use for the
sub-fire of the Bai Xiang Demon Fire; it was only beneficial to Yun Luo Xi.
"He's actually quite good to you!" Liu Wenwan added, "If it weren't for him just now, we
might have been in grave danger!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Luo Xi remained silent. Good? Was that really a form of kindness?
Indeed, he did help her, he saved her. But what about what he did to her earlier... what was
that considered?
