Desire Restaurant [Complete] - 17

Chapter 255 Suspicion

Amidst Desire. Once the thought arose, it was unstoppable. With each slapping thrust, his hand slowly moved downwards, tightly gripping Lin Jiayi's soft, plump buttocks, spreading them slightly.

Then, he quickly withdrew his desire, aiming for a forbidden spot, and forcefully thrust it in…

Ah!

Morning in Yanan City.

Mist filled the air, the sky was overcast, and through the window, wisps of damp, cool air rushed in.

It seemed rain was inevitable.

Sometime earlier, Yan Xuan had already left Lin Jiayi's room.

Lin Jiayi lay limply on the bed, goosebumps rising on her fair, smooth skin as the damp, cool air swept over her body, making her shiver involuntarily.

Beside her, Jing Sa stood pale-faced, his eyes filled with leaping flames, wishing he could kill Lin Jiayi immediately.

Unfortunately, Jing Sa, having just lost her virginity, and with Yan Xuan's intense advances the previous night, had suffered greatly. Her budding flower was ravaged, and her weakness far surpassed that of Lin Jiayi.

During his final assault, Yan Xuan had targeted Lin Jiayi's rear end…

Caught off guard, even though Lin Jiayi tried to resist in excruciating pain, her body was firmly under Yan Xuan's control. All she could do was grip the sheets tightly, enduring the agony until the pain became unbearable.

Lin Jiayi looked at Jing Sa and struggled slightly, only to groan in pain and collapse back onto the bed.

"You hate me, don't you?" Lin Jiayi knew exactly what she needed to do: find a way to transfer Jing Sa's hatred entirely to Yan Xuan.

"I will definitely kill you!" Jing Sa said fiercely, tears silently streaming down her face.

It was over!

Everything was over!

Her plan had failed after last night. It was all in vain; she had lost her virginity. Even finding that handsome elf couldn't save Yana.

Jing Sa's heart was filled with despair. How she wished it were all just a terrible nightmare!

But the weakness and soreness after being violated, and the pain of her lower body being deflowered, reminded her. It was all real…

Lin Jiayi smiled bitterly, a look of misery on her pretty face, and said, “Kill me. I don't want to live anymore anyway. A life controlled by the devil is really worse than death!”

Then, Lin Jiayi's eyes were filled with remorse: “If only I had thought of this yesterday, I wouldn't have hurt you because of his threats.”

“You will pay for what you have done, I swear on my life!” Jing Sa said angrily.

Lin Jiayi smiled bitterly and said, “I will grant you that wish.”

Suddenly, Tang Jing's voice came from outside the door: “Sister Lin Jiayi, are you still not up?”

Lin Jiayi and Jing Sa's expressions changed simultaneously. After exchanging a tense glance, they both looked towards the door.

Just then, the door opened slightly, and Tang Jing called from outside, "Sister Lin Jiayi, I'm coming in."

Before she finished speaking, Tang Jing knocked again, and the ajar door couldn't withstand the force of her knocking. It opened silently.

In that instant, Lin Jiayi, disregarding Jing Sa's reaction, swiftly covered Jing Sa tightly with the blanket, while she herself endured the pain. She lay down beside Jing Sa, bending her legs and arching the blanket to conceal Jing Sa's body.

"What? Sister Lin Jiayi, didn't you close the door last night?" Tang Jing asked Lin Jiayi, looking at the door with suspicion.

"I was too tired last night. I went straight to sleep, I think I forgot," Lin Jiayi quickly replied.

Tang Jing glanced at Lin Jiayi and couldn't help but tease, "Luckily, there aren't any perverts here. Otherwise... it would be so dangerous."

Then, she added, "Sister Lin Jiayi, why aren't you up yet? Hehe. Sister Lin Jiayi, who's usually the most diligent, what happened to you today?"

Lin Jiayi's mood had calmed down, and the tension on her pretty face had disappeared. She smiled faintly and said, "Let me be a lazybones this once. I've really been feeling a bit tired lately. Tang Jing, can I sleep a little longer?"

"Of course! Don't worry, I and Sister Su Ying can handle things downstairs. But, Sister Lin Jiayi, please don't sleep too long. Hehe, without you downstairs, Sister Su Ying and I will get very bored," Tang Jing said casually as she sat down on the edge of the bed.

Seeing Tang Jing sitting beside her, Lin Jiayi quickly arched her legs higher. At the same time, she reached under the covers and gently patted Jing Sa's arm, hinting that Jing Sa should be patient.

"Okay. I'll only sleep for a little while, I'll be down soon." Lin Jiayi said, trying to get Tang Jing to leave immediately. She even yawned, her face full of sleepiness.

If Tang Jing didn't leave in this state, she'd be incredibly foolish.

She gently patted Lin Jiayi's shoulder, which was exposed outside the blanket, and said, "I'll go out first then. You sleep a little longer. Anyway, there weren't many guests this morning. Hehe, but that flower basket delivery guy, if he doesn't see you, I wonder how he'll explain it to his owner."

Lin Jiayi nodded but didn't speak, afraid that if the topic turned to the flower basket again, Tang Jing would linger.

After Tang Jing left, Lin Jiayi hurriedly pulled up the blanket, only to see Jing Sa looking at her with a cold smile.

"I guess your sisters don't know about you, right? Ha, outwardly cold and arrogant, but inside so lewd and despicable!" Jing Sa said sarcastically.

Lin Jiayi stared at Jing Sa, her eyes reddening, tears streaming down her cheeks. She said in a sorrowful voice, "Do you think I wanted this? I'm just like you. We're both just victims of the devil."

Lin Jiayi consistently addressed Jing Sa with this mournful, repentant tone. This piqued Jing Sa's curiosity. She scoffed, "Devil? I think it's you who willingly fell into depravity!"

"Miss Jing Sa, if I truly had willingly fallen into depravity, do you think... I... would I have chosen such a lowly half-elf?" Lin Jiayi's voice choked with sobs.

That's right!

Why would Lin Jiayi get involved with that plain-looking, lowly Yan Xuan?

And why did she keep calling him a devil, her voice filled with sorrow? What methods did that half-elf use to win Lin Jiayi's heart?

Jing Sa's mind was filled with doubt...

Lin Jiayi, who had been staring at Jing Sa, keenly noticed the doubt in her eyes. Before Jing Sa could ask, she said to herself, "Don't be fooled by Yan Xuan's appearance. He looks honest and kind, but he's actually treacherous and despicable. I really didn't expect... I really didn't expect... If I had been on guard, you and I wouldn't have ended up like this."

Hearing Lin Jiayi's words, Jing Sa became even more curious. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "What exactly happened?"

Lin Jiayi said, "While I was taking a bath, he used a magic scroll to take a picture of my naked body, and then he used that to threaten me... If I didn't agree, he would copy the magic scroll and post it all over Yanan City. Do you know what the consequences would be? I could just die, but my sisters would be dragged down by me and become the laughingstock of everyone..."

"Then why don't you just kill him!" Jing Sa asked.

Lin Jiayi sighed and said, "That's the most terrifying thing. It seems like there's some mysterious organization behind Yan Xuan... Even if you kill him, it will only cause those magic scrolls to be posted in Yanan City sooner!"

"A mysterious organization?" Jing Sa's heart skipped a beat.

Lin Jiayi suddenly thought of the powerful and handsome elf. To make things seem even more serious, she simply lied, saying, "I don't know what kind of mysterious organization he's behind, but I know that organization is extremely powerful. One of the handsome elves' abilities is beyond my imagination... How can weak women like us possibly fight against such an organization? Someone with such powerful energy could easily destroy the entire Desire Restaurant."

Jing Sa's body trembled violently. Although she had known that Yan Xuan was related to the handsome elf, she had previously looked down on him and thought he was just a lackey of the handsome elf. She hadn't expected that behind Yan Xuan was not just one handsome elf, but an organization that included the handsome elf, and that Yan Xuan's identity seemed to be more than just a lackey...

Chapter 256 Scheming

. Thinking of this, Jing Sa couldn't help but feel that things were becoming increasingly complicated. Was it a coincidence that Yana had become the handsome elf's slave? Or was it like Lin Jiayi's experience? Is it a conspiracy? If it's a long-planned conspiracy, then it's terrifying. It's very likely that the mysterious organization's goal is to control the entire Night Elf race through Yana.

Sigh…

How laughable. How laughable!

If Yanxuan knew that these actions he took purely out of desire, after being embellished by Lin Jiayi, had been elevated to a massive conspiracy, he wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Seeing the anger in Jing Sa's eyes gradually disappear, replaced by a look of doubt, Lin Jiayi hesitated for a moment. She said, "Miss Jing Sa, I'm most sorry to you. I really shouldn't have given in to his coercion again and harmed you!"

After saying this, tears streamed down her face even more…

Jing Sa looked at Lin Jiayi, but at this moment, she could no longer feel any hatred towards this woman. In a way, Lin Jiayi was also a victim, just like her, a woman ravaged by demons.

Looking at Lin Jiayi's repentant eyes and tear-streaked face, Jing Sa felt a sense of shared suffering.

It must be said, humans are definitely the most cunning of all races!

Having grown up in the palace and witnessed countless acts of deceit and treachery, Lin Jiayi could easily deceive Jing Sa, who had grown up in the jungle…

Seeing Jing Sa's expression, Lin Jiayi couldn't help but feel secretly delighted, believing the time was ripe. Now was the perfect opportunity to shift all the blame onto Yan Xuan.

"It's a pity my abilities are limited, otherwise… otherwise I really wanted to expose that mysterious organization and kill all those devils!" Lin Jiayi said through gritted teeth.

This expression wasn't feigned; given Lin Jiayi's deep-seated hatred for Yan Xuan, even Jing Sa felt a chill when she saw her resentment.

Jing Sa's heart stirred. Last night's events had completely ruined her plan; the attempt to break Yana's mysterious contract by offering her body was now a pipe dream.

Although the plan hadn't succeeded, she had paid a heavy price. Her once pure body had been defiled, and what pained her most was that the one who defiled her was merely a lowly and shameless half-elf!

This filled Jing Sa with extreme resentment. She stroked her body, feeling the waves of pain in her lower body. The hatred in Jing Sa's heart was nearing its peak.

Life?

What did that mean?

Having lost her sacred body and suffered the most vile desecration in the world, Jing Sa had already disregarded life and death!

In a brief moment, countless thoughts flashed through Jing Sa's mind!

Since she was now a withered flower, a sacrifice to the devil, then she shouldn't hold back anymore. She should use this insignificant body to do something important!

Thinking this, a cold light flashed in Jing Sa's swollen eyes.

This light, seen by Lin Jiayi, filled her with joy, but also made her even more wary of Jing Sa. She was all too familiar with that look. When her body was first played with by Yan Xuan, hadn't she also had the same thoughts as Jing Sa now?

The difference was that she had too many concerns; she wasn't burdened by her own interests alone. Behind her was an empire for her to consider.

Jing Sa, however, showed little restraint. For a long time, the Dark Elves had been deliberately slandered by the Great Elves, resulting in an extremely unpleasant image. To be honest, the Dark Elves no longer needed to clear their name. Years of fleeing had given all the Dark Elves a profound realization: strength was the only thing that mattered. If they could escape their current state of exile and become the strongest in the world, then everything would change… For this reason

, in terms of ruthlessness and decisiveness, Lin Jiayi was far inferior to Jing Sa!

Looking at Jing Sa's flickering eyes, Lin Jiayi hesitated for a moment before deciding she needed to add a strong dose to solidify Jing Sa's resolve.

"Miss Jing Sa, I… I know that if I say certain things, you'll think I'm too cowardly, trying to cling to life and escape your punishment, but… but I really want to say it," Lin Jiayi said softly.

"Speak!" Jing Sa said coldly, looking at Lin Jiayi.

"Can you help me? Maybe...maybe we can join forces and make those devils get what they deserve..." Lin Jiayi said hesitantly.

"Help you? Do you think I can help you?" Jing Sa's expression remained unchanged, still as cold as ever.

Lin Jiayi smiled bitterly and said, "In fact, I also have a mysterious background, and my background is very powerful. However, as you saw in the Desire Restaurant, I absolutely cannot let my two sisters know what happened to me. So, when I was isolated and helpless before, I admit my weakness as a woman. I chose to compromise."

Lin Jiayi paused here, secretly observing Jing Sa's expression. Seeing her frowning, she had clearly taken her words to heart.

Then she continued, "But... but now I'm no longer alone, and you've also suffered at the hands of the devil. In this respect, shouldn't we be victims on the same side? I know that in your case, I acted as an accomplice to the devil, but please believe me, if one day we can wash away the shame in our hearts with the blood of those devils, I will use my life to wash away the defilement my body has suffered!" After

Lin Jiayi finished speaking, Jing Sa showed no reaction. At this moment, she was also going through complex thoughts. She was wondering if she could temporarily put aside her hatred for Lin Jiayi and unite as Lin Jiayi had suggested. Together, they could deal with Yan Xuan and the mysterious organization behind him.

Now, there was no doubt that the handsome elf was also a member of Yan Xuan's group. Even if he wasn't the leader of that mysterious organization, with such great strength, he must be one of the leaders.

Now, the plan to use her body as a tool to rescue Yana had failed. So the only way to rescue Yana was to kill that handsome elf!

Having already disregarded her own life, Jing Sa no longer worried about the handsome elf's immense power. Her only concern was whether, if she succeeded in killing the elf, the mysterious contract might also implicate Yana.

For Jing Sa, who knew nothing about the attributes of the contract formed by the Death Spider Queen's mysterious energy, this was undoubtedly the most troublesome problem…

It seemed she had to return to the Night Elf territory to personally investigate the tightly guarded details regarding the Death Spider Queen's energy.

Jing Sa's silence made Lin Jiayi uneasy. After a moment, she finally couldn't resist saying, "Miss Jing Sa, would you agree to my proposal? If... if you insist on venting your resentment towards me first, then... please do it..."

As she spoke, Lin Jiayi's hand reached under the bed and touched the rapier hidden in a secret compartment...

"What is your background? In fact, I've had this question for a long time. How can three young women like you run such a large restaurant in Yanan City, and in such a complex environment, without experiencing any harassment..." Jing Sa raised an eyebrow.

"Please forgive me. I can't tell you that yet. I have my reasons. However, one day you will know my origins clearly, Miss Jing Sa. You must believe that at this moment we are comrades on the same side, we all share a deep-seated hatred!" Lin Jiayi's hand left the rapier. She knew. Jing Sa was already tempted.

Jing Sa hesitated for a moment, then didn't press further. Her mind was now entirely focused on how to obtain the information about the Death Spider Queen's energy after returning to the Dark Elf clan. That information was among the clan's most precious, entirely held by the elders; to see the core parts, she needed a clever plan!

Lin Jiayi, having exhausted all her scheming, finally achieved her goal. With Jing Sa's help, she had broken free from Yan Xuan and exposed the forces behind him. The day she could destroy the magic scroll binding her might be just around the corner.

For a long time, Lin Jiayi had never felt so relaxed. Although the huge weight on her heart hadn't been completely lifted, the hope in life was like feeling the damp, cool air. It no longer felt as biting as before, but much warmer.

Laughter and the sounds of clinking glasses and drinking games drifted from downstairs.

Lin Jiayi couldn't help but feel anxious. Because of the overcast sky and her focus on scheming with Jing Sa, she hadn't realized that it was almost noon.

Chapter 257 Why Are the Flowers So Red?

If she lingered any longer, Su Ying and Tang Jing might come to visit her again at any time.

"Miss Jing Sa, can we go out now? I'm afraid that if we delay too long, that devil will become suspicious," Lin Jiayi said in a low voice.

Jing Sa also wanted to go out.

In fact, she had wanted to leave quickly just now. However, her body, which had just been ravaged, would tremble with pain and be covered in cold sweat if she moved. She could only stay on Lin Jiayi's bed, praying that her body would recover quickly.

"Okay." Jing Sa nodded. Lin Jiayi had already urged her, so she was too embarrassed to stay still any longer.

Ah...

Jing Sa struggled to sit up. But she didn't expect that it would pull on her lower body again, and she couldn't help but let out a cry of pain. When she turned to look at Lin Jiayi, her face turned red with shame. She was embarrassed that someone else had seen such a shameful scene.

As Jing Sa sat up, the blanket slipped off her smooth body, and Lin Jiayi felt a wave of dizziness wash over her.

As a lesbian, looking at Jing Sa's exquisite body, still bearing the marks of her ordeal, Lin Jiayi felt no differently than any other man.

Last night, with Yan Xuan present, she hadn't considered these thoughts, nor had she paid close attention to Jing Sa's body.

But now, in the dim light, the body of a Dark Elf woman radiated a special glow, a glow that possessed a fatal allure in the darkness.

Lin Jiayi stared intently at Jing Sa's body, her eyes gradually igniting with lust, her body warming slightly, two blushes rising on her pretty face, and her breathing becoming heavy.

Jing Sa, however, was completely unaware of this. She was only concerned with struggling to get up and dress herself. In fact, even if she noticed the strange look in Lin Jiayi's eyes, she would at most feel somewhat uncomfortable, but she wouldn't understand Lin Jiayi's thoughts.

There was no one like Lin Jiayi with a special sexual orientation among the Night Elves, so the concept of heterosexual love was perfectly natural to Jing Sa. She had no idea that homosexuality existed in this world…

Suddenly,

Lin Jiayi couldn't help but place her hands on Jing Sa's fair back…

Jing Sa was startled. Turning her head, she looked at Lin Jiayi warily and said in a deep voice, "What are you doing?"

"Miss Jing Sa…you…you have a bruise on your back…that devil is too vicious…" Lin Jiayi suddenly realized her lapse in composure and hurriedly tried to cover it up.

Lin Jiayi's concerned eyes made Jing Sa trust her. Her expression gradually softened.

"You also have bruises on your body…" Jing Sa said, looking at the two bruises on Lin Jiayi's full breasts.

When Jing Sa's gaze shifted to her own body and she saw the striking bloodstain, her face flushed crimson. A wave of sorrow washed over her, and tears welled in her eyes, each time threatening to spill, but she secretly tilted her head back to stop them.

When her gaze fell on where Lin Jiayi was sitting, she was filled with confusion…

In her understanding of male-female sexual relations, it seemed only women bled during their first time, right?

How… how come there seemed to be some bloodstains under Lin Jiayi's body as well?

Jing Sa's surprised look caught Lin Jiayi's attention, and she looked down following her gaze. She felt her face burning.

That damned devil, he hadn't even spared this place…

Lin Jiayi instinctively tried to move to cover the bloodstains, but a sharp pain shot through her anus, causing her to stagger.

Jing Sa quickly supported Lin Jiayi, saying, "You…"

The words left her mouth, but she didn't know what to say, only looking at Lin Jiayi awkwardly. Lin Jiayi's

body slumped into Jing Sa's arms. Skin to skin pressed together, enjoying the smoothness of a woman's body. The unique, fresh scent of Jing Sa stirred Lin Jiayi's heart. Her body felt hot again.

But fearing she might lose control again and arouse Jing Sa's suspicion, Lin Jiayi reluctantly pulled away from Jing Sa's body, enduring the pain in her rear, and dressed. When the urge became unbearable, she would secretly touch Jing Sa's skin while adjusting her clothes to relieve her desire…

In the lobby of the Desire Restaurant,

even though the weather was bad and there were fewer customers than usual, the mud on their shoes was causing Yan Xuan more headaches than usual.

He had to carry a floor cleaner at all times, wiping away the muddy footprints left by each customer.

Last night's indulgence with two women had left him with a sore back. After half a day of scrubbing floors and tidying up, Yan Xuan was utterly exhausted, barely able to stand. He felt drenched in sweat, his bones seemed to have crumbled, and he desperately wanted to rest somewhere.

Unfortunately, it was just a wish; Tang Jing's constant shouts kept Yan Xuan from getting a moment's rest. He could only force himself to keep busy endlessly.

Behind the bar, Su Ying and Tang Jing listlessly flipped through the ledgers.

"Sister Su Ying, I'm so bored! Let's play a card game!" Tang Jing tossed the ledger aside and said to Su Ying.

"A card game is for three people. How can we two play?" Su Ying smiled and said.

"Ugh... I'm so bored! This darn weather is so irritating, it makes me want to kill someone!" Tang Jing said, shaking her head.

Su Ying found it amusing and patted Tang Jing on the back, saying, "Alright, the weather changes. What can we do? Today, although it's drizzling, at least it's cool enough. The past two days were so hot and humid that it was suffocating, wasn't that even more uncomfortable?"

Then, Su Ying looked up at the upstairs room and asked in confusion, "Tang Jing, when you went to Sister Lin Jiayi's room this morning, did she just say she wanted to sleep a little longer?"

"Yes, she looked listless. She probably caught a chill last night. Sigh... We both practice martial arts. Why is my body so much better than Sister Lin Jiayi's?" Tang Jing said with no small amount of pride.

“But it’s already noon. Has Sister Lin Jiayi still not woken up? Why don’t we go up and call her? It’s almost lunchtime, and sleeping too much isn’t good for her health,” Su Ying said.

“You go ahead, I’m too lazy to move an inch…” Tang Jing said with a long face.

Just then, they suddenly heard Lin Jiayi’s laughter: “Tang Jing, Su Ying, what are you two chatting about? You’re so engrossed, hehe, you didn’t even see me.”

Tang Jing and Su Ying turned around abruptly.

Su Ying said with a smile, “We were just saying we were going to call you, Sister Lin Jiayi. Why did you sleep so long? Did you catch a cold last night?”

Tang Jing looked at Lin Jiayi and nodded solemnly, saying, “Hmm… Sister Lin Jiayi must have caught a cold. Otherwise, why would she be dressed so warmly?”

Today, Lin Jiayi was wearing a high-necked, tight-fitting long dress, which was indeed different from her usual open-necked gauze dresses.

Lin Jiayi couldn’t help but blush slightly. Cursing the wicked Yan Xuan in her heart, that bastard had somehow managed to leave several lip prints on her collarbone; if she hadn't dressed like this, someone would have definitely seen them.

"It's so chilly today, I was worried about a heavy rain this afternoon, so I wore more layers. You guys should change into something warmer later, it's almost autumn. It's best to be careful," Lin Jiayi said with a smile.

She then casually walked towards the bar. Because the bar area wasn't large, neither Tang Jing nor Su Ying noticed that Lin Jiayi's steps were unsteady.

However, when Lin Jiayi plopped down in the chair, she couldn't help but tremble a few times; the sharp pain in her rear made her face turn pale.

Fortunately, the weather was already gloomy today, and the bar, located in a corner of the restaurant's lobby, was even more dim. Therefore, Tang Jing and Su Ying didn't notice the change in Lin Jiayi's expression at all.

"I'm fine, I'm healthy. But Sister Su Ying, you should listen to Sister Lin Jiayi and put on some thicker clothes," Tang Jing said with a smile, puffing out her chest.

Su Ying laughed, "If I really catch a cold, wouldn't that be a chance for you to show off? I really don't know what you'd be like serving someone?"

Tang Jing spat lightly and said, "Trying to embarrass me? Don't joke around. If you're really sick, a couple of healing spells will do. Don't pretend to be sick so I can take care of you, you know how clumsy I am. I might end up turning good medicine into poison..."

Su Ying chuckled, "Oh dear, Sister Lin Jiayi, look how self-aware our little Tang Jing is, she actually... even knows she's clumsy..."

Chapter 258 Intelligence

Lin Jiayi had been moving her lower body for so long, and finally found a good opportunity. At least her anus wouldn't hurt as much as before.

She heard Su Ying asking her something. Although she hadn't clearly heard what the two had just said, she still managed a perfunctory smile.

Tang Jing blushed, stomped her foot, and complained, "I'm not doing this anymore! You two older sisters teamed up to bully me..."

Tang Jing's appearance made Su Ying and Lin Jiayi burst into laughter.

To pass the time, Tang Jing bent down, took out a stack of cards, and threw them on the bar table, saying, "You two teamed up to bully me, so to make up for your mistake, you'll play cards with me. But, you can only lose, not win!"

Lin Jiayi joined in the laughter and jokes, and upon hearing Tang Jing's words, she looked at Tang Jing with a smile and said, "What's the point of only losing and not winning..."

"I don't care, I don't care, are you going to play or not?" Tang Jing simply started to whine.

Su Ying hurriedly laughed, "Play. Play. Is that alright? Tang Jing, please don't do that, hehe, it's so strange to suddenly see you acting so cute..."

Tang Jing pouted and said, "Tch... only you guys can see that." As she spoke, her eyes subconsciously scanned her surroundings. She suddenly noticed that Yan Xuan was standing at the door, staring blankly at the bar. Obviously, this annoying guy had seen her acting cute.

"Yan Xuan! Are you free?!" Tang Jing shouted angrily, "Look, the floor is covered in mud and water, hurry up and clean it up!"

Yan Xuan was startled and hurriedly nodded in agreement, secretly cursing in his heart, "Damn it, why was I looking at that female tyrant..."

However, Yan Xuan had to admit that the female tyrant was incredibly feminine when she acted cute. She was completely different from her usual self, otherwise, he wouldn't have been staring blankly, which led to Tang Jing noticing him.

After diligently cleaning up the mud and water on the floor, Yan Xuan turned to look at the bar and saw Tang Jing, Su Ying, and Lin Jiayi playing enthusiastically.

Tang Jing occasionally giggled. It seemed that, as she said, Su Ying and Lin Jiayi had only lost.

After watching for a while, Yan Xuan's gaze couldn't help but linger on Lin Jiayi, looking at her pretty face flushed from laughing. And her sexy breasts trembling as she laughed, Yan Xuan couldn't help but feel a surge of desire, and the passionate and alluring scenes from last night flashed through his mind.

After last night, Lin Jiayi's body could be said to have been completely explored by Yan Xuan. All three treasures of a woman's body had been thoroughly enjoyed by Yan Xuan.

Especially the squeezing sensation of his penis in her anus, which excited Yan Xuan to the extreme...

Thinking about it, Yan Xuan couldn't help but feel a surge of heat in his lower abdomen, and a certain part of his body began to stir again.

Yan Xuan quickly shook his head. Trying hard to shift his gaze from Lin Jiayi, he turned his head to the door, watching the pedestrians passing by in the drizzle, deliberately pondering unrelated matters to avoid embarrassing himself with the tent pitched too high.

"Strange... why didn't the person who delivered the flower basket come today? Did he back out?" Yan Xuan wondered. It

was indeed strange; recently, rain or shine, Brown had delivered a flower basket with a magic circle every day without fail. Today, however, he hadn't appeared...

The president of the Hermit Guild. In Sima Huan's mysterious room.

The room was shrouded in mist. Everywhere was eerily cold.

Sith Sima sat in a chair in the center of the space. He stared at the image magic scrolls covering an entire wall, his right hand gently stroking his meticulously groomed mustache. His brow was slightly furrowed, deep in thought.

Suddenly, the mist in the room began to fluctuate violently, churning like boiling water.

Sith Sima's eyes lit up, revealing a look of joy as he gazed at the swirling mist.

"Shangguan Xuan, you're finally back..." Sith Sima whispered.

Gradually, the churning fog ceased. A blurry figure appeared not far from Sith Sima, and the fog, as if drawn by the figure, condensed towards it, making the figure even more ethereal, as if its existence were merely an illusion.

"Master, I apologize for keeping you waiting," Shangguan Xuan's deep, androgynous voice rang out.

Sith Sima nodded slightly and said, "I know you. You wouldn't return unless you completed the mission perfectly. So, what valuable intelligence did you bring me?"

"Master. This time, as you instructed, I mobilized all our forces within the human territories. The final result is that Princess Lin Jiayi of the Fias Empire is not in the palace. According to information from our palace informants, Princess Lin Jiayi left the Fias Empire several years ago to study in other countries. As for which country she went to, there is no accurate information," Shangguan Xuan said softly. Not in the

palace for several years? Sith Sima's expression changed, and he said urgently, "Continue."

"Yes, Master. Then, as you instructed, I also investigated the Firewind Empire, the Bilon Empire, and the Garo Empire. There was nothing unusual about the Firewind Empire and the Bilon Empire. Just like many years ago, the Firewind Empire, the Bilon Empire, and the Fiat Empire still maintain a friendly alliance, jointly resisting the development of the Garo Empire!"

"As for the Garo Empire, the old king has completely lost his power. Although he is still nominally the king, the real power lies with Queen Qing. The only prince, Mikshus, graduated from the Garo Magic and Martial Arts Academy three years ago and, with the support of the royalists, has become the leader of the forces opposing Queen Qing. Currently, the infighting between the two factions in the Garo Empire is extremely fierce. According to reports from insiders, Prince Mikshus is shrewd and possesses superb magical and martial arts skills. In just a few years, he has expanded his power, catching Queen Qing off guard. Although the two factions are fighting, no victor can be determined in a short time..."

Shangguan Xuan reported the intelligence about the four major human empires obtained during this trip in a low voice. After finishing, she silently awaited Sith Sima's instructions.

After a long pause, Sith Sima said, "Shangguan Xuan, besides Princess Lin Jiayi of the Fiat Empire, have any princesses of the Firewind Empire and the Bilon Empire encountered the same situation as Lin Jiayi?"

"I'm sorry, Master. As you know, the Fiat Empire, Firewind Empire, and Bilon Empire are different from the Garo Empire. The Garo Empire only has one princess and one prince. But among the other three human empires, even the Firewind Empire, which has the fewest princes and princesses, has nearly thirty. If it weren't for your specific order to investigate Princess Lin Jiayi's situation in detail, it's estimated that her study abroad would have been overlooked by our spies..."

Shangguan Xuan paused, then said, "Master, should I go again? Mobilize our forces to specifically investigate the situation of the crown princes of various countries? However, our current infiltrated forces within the royal palaces are pitifully small, and they are all deployed on the periphery. It's probably difficult to obtain the most accurate information about the situation inside the palaces."

“No need. Let me think. The information you brought is enough. I'll tell you when I need it,” Sith Sima said with a smile.

Then, he stood up and said, “I'll take my leave now.”

“Farewell, Master,” Shangguan Xuan said softly.

Sith Sima waved his hands slightly, his lips seemingly chanting a spell, and a spatial gate reappeared before him. He stepped into the spatial gate, and his body disappeared along with it.

When he reappeared, Sith Sima was already in a bedroom behind the Hermit Guild's main hall.

After carefully tidying his appearance, he turned around, picked up the small flying magical beast on the shelf, and stroked its soft fur as he walked towards the main hall.

“Browne, what are you doing here? Is something wrong?” As soon as Sith Sima entered the main hall, he saw Browne sitting anxiously on a chair by the side of the hall, waiting for him.

Upon seeing Sith Sima, Brown hurriedly sat up in his chair and said, "President, the flower basket you asked me to deliver every day..."

"What? Has it already been delivered?" Sith Sima asked with a smile.

Brown shook his head and said, "President, I usually deliver it after you set up a magic circle on the flower basket. But I couldn't find you today, so I haven't delivered it yet."

Sith Sima suddenly remembered that he had gone to Shangguan Xuan's place early this morning and had indeed forgotten about the flower basket.

"President, should you set it up now, and I'll deliver it immediately? I've already brought the flower basket." Brown said, pointing to the flower basket full of blooming flowers beside him.

Chapter 259 The Storm Is Brewing

Sith Sima hesitated for a moment. Although Lin Jiayi's identity had not been confirmed, he estimated that it was probably close to true.

It seemed that it was time for him to take action personally...

"Never mind. Let's skip it today." Sith Sima waved his hand and said.

Brown, always adept at reading his master's mind, assumed that Sith Sima's decision had discouraged him due to Lin Jiayi's continued coldness. He raised an eyebrow and said, "Master, if you want that woman, leave her to me. I won't disappoint you."

Sith Sima suddenly looked up, his eyes flashing like lightning as he stared at Brown, making Brown feel uneasy and apprehensive, wondering what he had done to displease his master.

"Brown, just do what you're supposed to do. I'll give you instructions if needed!" Sith Sima said coldly.

The icy tone made Brown shudder. He quickly bowed and said, "Master, I understand. If there are no further instructions, I'll take my leave."

"The gang's assessment day is approaching. Make this assessment as grand as possible..." Sith Sima said in a low voice.

"Yes, Master." Brown finished speaking and hurriedly left the hall. He knew his master quite well. Normally all smiles and amiable, he was ruthless. Brown knew that in the Hermit Guild, Sith Sima had issued many cold-blooded orders while smiling, assassinating many guild members who disliked him.

The sky, overcast for most of the day, finally let the long-brewing rain pour down with a clap of thunder. In

an instant, rain and mist filled the city of Yanan.

Pedestrians ran as fast as they could, searching for shelter. The previously chaotic city quickly became quiet, with only the rumbling thunder and the sound of raindrops hitting the ground.

In the Desire Tavern, Yan Xuan looked at the curtain of rain hanging at the entrance. He sighed deeply. "Damn it," he thought, "there won't be many customers in this weather!" He'd been busy all day. Finally, he could rest for a while.

Looking at the little bit of mud on the ground, Yan Xuan decided to clean it up before retreating to a corner to catch his breath.

Inside the bar,

Tang Jing, Su Ying, and Lin Jiayi were engrossed in their game. Tang Jing, who had just been startled by the thunderclap, muttered a few irritated curses about the awful weather that made her uncomfortable. Then, she resumed her card game with renewed focus.

Yan Xuan bent down, meticulously cleaning every corner, afraid that Tang Jing would find fault with anything. While peeking earlier, he noticed that Tang Jing had changed her winning streak and was now losing many times. Heaven knows when this female tyrant started getting so annoyed with her losses and taking it out on him again.

After working for a while, Yan Xuan looked at the gleaming floor with satisfaction and nodded.

The rain was pouring down, and the customers in the restaurant wouldn't be leaving anytime soon. There wasn't a single pedestrian outside, so there were even fewer customers coming. Hmm… this meant he could have a long time to rest.

Yan Xuan turned and walked to a table and chair closer to the door, sitting down. He relaxed his upper body on the table, watching the pattering rain outside. His mind wandered.

Images of his past and present lives flashed by randomly, like shards of glass, without any order or structure. In fact, Yan Xuan himself didn't know what he was thinking; he was just killing time.

Pitter-patter… pitter-patter…

a faint sound seemed to penetrate the noise of the raindrops outside and reach Yan Xuan's ears.

He quickly pricked up his ears, listening carefully. After a moment, his eyes filled with confusion…

Yes!

It was footsteps!

And judging from the intensity of the sound, it was the footsteps of a group of people.

In such bad weather, with the rain pouring down, how could there be so many people?

Yan Xuan wondered aloud, then chuckled. It was probably that unfortunate caravan… Come to think of it, the caravan leader was incredibly foolish.

Based on Yan Xuan's past experience with caravans, most leaders were well-versed in weather forecasts; they would never choose to travel in this weather. Instead, they would prepare in advance, setting up tents in a sheltered spot and waiting for the weather to clear before setting off.

Bored, Yan Xuan suddenly felt like peeking out from the entrance to see what kind of idiot leader could make such a basic mistake, and also to see the unfortunate merchants suffering under such a leader…

Anyway, he was so bored. He might as well do something even more boring to pass the time.

As Yan Xuan stood up, the noisy footsteps were already quite clear; obviously, the caravan was much closer.

Holy crap!

They were moving so fast!

It seemed like they were still quite far away just now…

Yan Xuan's curiosity only grew stronger

. At that moment, he saw the guests near the windows on the second floor leaning out, gazing in astonishment at the distance. “My god, how come there are so many elves all of a sudden? They look to be of high status. Ah! There's even a Nature Archer from the Elf Temple!”

“Wow, that's an Elf Mage!”

“Strange, strange, how come people from the Giant Tree Elf Empire, the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire, the Divine Grass Elf Empire… are all mixed together?”

“…

”

The guests upstairs simultaneously gathered at the windows, craning their necks to look outside, occasionally letting out exclamations and whispers.

“Ah. They're coming this way… this way…” one guest exclaimed.

At this moment, Tang Jing, Su Ying, and Lin Jiayi at the bar also attracted the attention of the guests, putting down their cards and looking out the door in surprise.

Yan Xuan, even more curious, quickened his pace, wanting to see what was going on at the door.

Before Yan Xuan even reached the door, a group of people surged in, wearing robes of various colors. Among them were the same natural archers with longbows who had followed the Snow Flame Saintess, whom Yan Xuan had seen before. What surprised Yan Xuan was that these people clearly had no rain gear. Yet, despite walking in such heavy rain, not a single one of them showed any signs of being wet…

Just as Yan Xuan and all the guests were stunned, the group suddenly split into two, and a woman wearing a tight short skirt, her two round, jade-like legs exposed, her breasts firm, and her buttocks voluptuous, walked in with a smug expression.

Yan Xuan immediately trembled. Not only him, but Lin Jiayi, Tang Jing, and Su Ying were also simultaneously astonished when they saw this woman.

This woman was actually Princess Li Jie of the Heavenly Vine Elf Empire, whom all three women disliked!

In this weather, they had traveled a long distance. What was the purpose of coming here in such a large group?

Everyone was filled with doubt…

“Please find a place to rest. The food here is quite good, please enjoy it later.”

Before Yanxuan could even call out, Li Jie spoke to herself, completely ignoring the astonished looks from Yanxuan and the other guests, and the disgusted expressions on Tang Jing, Su Ying's, and Lin Jiayi's faces.

Damn it, for a woman to be so shameless, she's truly exceptional…

Yanxuan muttered under his breath. He knew the three female owners disliked Li Jie, so he didn't greet her like he would any other guest.

Instead, he stood still, waiting for Tang Jing and the others to react. Sure enough, Tang Jing raised an eyebrow, about to retort.

But Su Ying and Lin Jiayi gently tugged at her, giving her a wink. Although Lin Jiayi and Su Ying didn't know the background of the others behind Li Jie, they were quite familiar with those distinctively dressed archers carrying longbows as tall as a person on their backs.

Because of their identities, Lin Jiayi and Su Ying were very familiar with the elven territory, especially the core elven temple. They paid particular attention to it, and their intelligence contained extensive and detailed records of the temple's core force, the Natural Archers.

Clearly, putting aside everyone else, these Natural Archers were far beyond their current capabilities. They had their own missions, and if they clashed with the elven temple, their future missions would face immense difficulties.

Tang Jing wasn't stupid. She also knew the background and strength of those Natural Archers. Her earlier outburst was simply because she couldn't stand Li Jie's arrogance and wanted to test her temper.

After being persuaded by Su Ying and Lin Jiayi's glances, Tang Jing calmed down, but then vented her anger on the pitiful Yan Xuan.

Tang Jing was already in a bad mood. Seeing Yan Xuan staring wide-eyed at her, she was filled with rage and shouted, "Yan Xuan, are you trying to die! Don't you see the guests are here?!"

Chapter 260 The Storeroom

Yan Xuan was startled by the reprimand. Realizing what had happened, he cursed his bad luck. Helpless, he could only approach Li Jie, smile ingratiatingly, and say, "Miss Li Jie, welcome back. What would you like?"

Li Jie smiled faintly and said, "Bring out all your restaurant's best dishes. Serve one to each table. Remember, the best." Yan Xuan hurriedly nodded

and turned to walk towards the storeroom in the backyard.

As he exited the back door, he saw the torrential rain outside and inwardly groaned. Looking back at the hall, he had no choice but to brave the rain and walk into the backyard, jogging towards the storeroom.

Yan Xuan had just burst through the storeroom door... Just then, the door seemed to bump into something, and a cry of pain rang out. Yingwu, behind the door, clutched her forehead and sat down on the floor.

Yanxuan was immediately alarmed and rushed to Yingwu's side, patting her back and whispering, "Yingwu, what...what happened to you?"

"Waaah...you fatso, you know perfectly well what happened, you bastard!" Yingwu cried, clutching her forehead.

Yanxuan couldn't help but smile bitterly. Heavens above! Earth below! Wasn't this just asking for trouble? Why wasn't Yingwu in her room? Why was she hiding in the storage room?

And he'd clumsily bumped into her, and it looked like she'd been seriously injured. Damn it, he'd stirred up a hornet's nest again!

"Yingwu, my little princess, you...you don't cry! I didn't know you were behind the door..." Yanxuan comforted her.

"Bastard, jerk, bad guy, bad guy... Don't you know someone's behind you, so you can slam the door like that? Waaah... You fatso... I'm going to kill you..." Yingwu removed her hand. A sizable bump appeared on her smooth, white forehead.

Seeing Yingwu's tear-streaked face, and her hands covered in dirt from when she fell, and now her face was a mess of mud, making her look like a little clown, plus the distinct bump on her forehead, Yanxuan almost burst out laughing.

Before he could laugh, he felt a sharp pain under his armpit. Looking down, he saw Yingwu's hand on his armpit, twisting it hard with gritted teeth...

"Ouch...you're trying to murder your husband!"

Yan Xuan cried out, hurriedly pulling Ying Wu's hands down forcefully, while saying with a mournful face, "I really didn't mean to, it was raining outside just now...if I hadn't come in quickly, I would have been soaked to the bone..."

After saying that, Yan Xuan pointed to the sky and swore to the earth, "Ying Wu, my darling, I swear, if I had known you were inside, I...I would rather be soaked to the bone than gently, slowly, and politely push open the door...If I'm lying to you, then I am the bastard, the scoundrel, the bad guy, the bad guy you're talking about, okay?"

Yan Xuan's oath, and the way he deliberately put on a serious face while making funny faces, amused Ying Wu so much that she burst into laughter through her tears, then immediately put on a serious face again, glared at Yan Xuan and said, "You fatso. What if you bumped into me and gave me a bump! If I'm disfigured, I'll kill you!"

Seeing Ying Wu laugh through her tears, Yan Xuan knew that her anger had subsided. He hurriedly tried to appease her, saying, "If you can't wrap it up, I...I..."

"What about you! Tell me!" Yingwu pouted.

"I...I'll just rub it for you..." Yanxuan said, quickly shrinking to the side, afraid that Yingwu's "invisible claws" would touch his body again.

"You just know how to bully me...you bastard!" Yingwu said sternly, dissatisfied.

Yanxuan smiled helplessly and said, "Yingwu, you can take your anger out on me when you have time, okay? I promise you won't fight back or talk back! It's not possible now! That Li Jie is here again, and she brought a lot of people. I still have to carry things for them. If I take too long, who knows how that female tyrant Tang Jing will take her anger out on me!"

"You deserve it! I hope Tang Jing beats you to death! Humph, who told you not to come back to the Giant Tree Empire with me and insist on being a lowly servant here? I think you just like Tang Jing and the others torturing you!" Yingwu pouted. "

Damn it!

How did we end up talking about going back to China again!

" Yanxuan felt a headache coming on, afraid that if they talked about this topic for too long, Yingwu would get angry again. He quickly changed the subject, saying, "Yingwu, why aren't you resting in your room on a rainy day? Why are you here? Are you hungry? Hmm. I'll make you some of the best food right away. I can't let my precious little princess go hungry."

Yanxuan's words made Yingwu feel a little sweet inside, and she rolled her eyes at him. She scolded playfully , "Silly boy, who would be hungry? If I were really hungry, I have an old goat to get me food. Why would I rely on you? Pshaw, I haven't seen you anywhere, why are you being so attentive now?"

Yan Xuan hurriedly said, "I really have some things to take care of these past few days. I promised you I would report back to you in detail after I've finished, my little princess..."

Then, Yan Xuan asked suspiciously, "If you're not hungry, why are you here? And hiding behind the door, what are you afraid of?" Ying Wu

blushed and said, "It's all because of that Li Jie! I heard some commotion up front, so I went to the back door to see what was going on. Then I heard footsteps coming from behind, so I rushed here. At least this is closer to my room, and..." "I was panicking and didn't know where I was going... Who knew those footsteps were from you, you bastard!"

Yan Xuan laughed, "You should have thought that at this time, the only one coming to the backyard would be me, the poor soul. It seems you were too nervous just now and didn't have time to think about these things, did you, little princess? What's there to be afraid of about that woman? If she really terrifies you, your man will just kill her. Hmph, I won't allow anyone to frighten my little princess."

Ying Wu raised an eyebrow and said, "Tch, me, afraid of her? I'm only worried that if she sees me, it will affect my father's reputation. Speaking of which, the Giant Tree Elf Empire is much stronger than their Heavenly Vine Elf Empire! What I was afraid of just now was the people behind her..."

"The people behind her? Who are they? Tell me, and I'll go kill them!" Yan Xuan knew that Ying Wu wouldn't let him do that, but he was happy to brag here.

"You bastard! How dare you! There's a man there who's my uncle! Tch, I'm not underestimating you, but you're no match for him. You know, he's one of the top ten magicians in the entire elven territory! Don't end up getting killed instead of being able to defeat him!" Yingwu glared at Yanxuan.

Yanxuan chuckled. He stepped forward and hugged Yingwu, saying ingratiatingly, "Hehe, my darling still cares about me... But, which one is your uncle? Your uncle is my uncle too..."

"Why are you asking this? What? You still have the guts to acknowledge him? Fatty, as long as you're determined to come back with me, I'll take you to the hall to find him right now!" Yingwu said.

"I didn't say I'd acknowledge him! I meant, if I know who's your uncle, when I get the bread later, I'll... pick out a big piece for him..." Yanxuan said with a wicked smile.

"You bastard!" Yingwu's face turned pale with anger, and she tried to break free from Yanxuan's embrace.

Yan Xuan quickly braced himself and said seriously, "Stop fooling around. I've already wasted a lot of time. Yingwu, I have to go back. You don't want to make things difficult for me, do you?"

Hearing this, Yingwu stopped teasing him. She looked at Yan Xuan and said, "Be careful. There are a few bad-tempered guys among them. Don't provoke them, or you'll suffer."

Yan Xuan was secretly touched and nodded, saying, "You know I'm very good at dealing with guests." As he spoke, he lowered his head and kissed Yingwu's forehead before turning to fetch food.

Yingwu peeked into the hall through the crack in the door. She muttered to herself in confusion, "Strange, all the experts from the three empires are here. Could it be... could it be that they've discovered the Dark Elf's tracks? Another Dark Elf extermination campaign?"

Yan Xuan, who was busy preparing food, was startled when he heard Yingwu's mutterings and suddenly thought of Yana and Jing Sa.

Yana is alright, she's not here right now, but Jing Sa is in her room upstairs. If these people see her, she'll probably be in grave danger.

He doesn't have any feelings for Jing Sa, but out of affection for Yana, and considering he took Jing Sa last night, he absolutely doesn't want her to be in any danger.

"Yan Xuan," Ying Wu suddenly called out.

Yan Xuan, who was deep in thought, trembled and turned to look at Ying Wu, saying, "What is it?"

"Yan Xuan, will you listen to me?" Ying Wu asked solemnly.

Yan Xuan nodded subconsciously. Whether he listened or not could be decided later; for now, he had to make Ying Wu happy.

"Then promise me that during this period, no matter what happens at the Desire Restaurant, you won't get involved! You're not allowed to act like a hero like before! Let me tell you, this matter is different from usual, especially regarding Jing Sa. You must stay far away from her! Understand?" Ying Wu said.

Chapter 261 The Night Elf Extermination Group

Yan Xuan thought for a moment and already understood what Ying Wu meant. Ying Wu was worried about him!

Not wanting him to get involved in that Dark Elf Extermination Group, Yingwu, despite having witnessed Yanxuan's transformed strength, still solemnly instructed him. The reasons were twofold: first, she didn't want Yanxuan to clash with her uncle right now; second, the Dark Elf Extermination Group was far too powerful—so powerful that even though Yingwu knew Yanxuan was formidable, she still lacked confidence in him…

"You fatso, I'm talking to you! Didn't you hear me?" Yingwu shouted angrily.

Yanxuan snapped back to reality and quickly nodded, saying, "I understand, I understand. Even if the sky falls these next few days, I won't leave my room."

"That's more like it. Alright, go back now. That tyrannical Tang Jing is probably throwing another tantrum!" Yingwu nodded.

Yanxuan listened intently. Sure enough, he faintly heard Tang Jing's voice. Judging from her tone, she seemed to be arguing with someone, and it was obvious to anyone that it was Li Jie.

In the lobby of the Desire Restaurant,

while Yan Xuan was away, Tang Jing, despite her best efforts to endure, still couldn't stand the arrogant demeanor of the guy she hated most.

When Li Jie politely addressed the members of the Dark Elf extermination group, saying, "I hope my arrangements will make you all feel comfortable and satisfied,"

Tang Jing, who was arrogant in front of others but extremely polite to these people, found

this hypocrisy unbearable. Though she couldn't actually curse or fight, she couldn't avoid making sarcastic remarks.

"Tch, how can anyone feel comfortable and satisfied in front of such an arrogant and hypocritical person? It's good enough if you don't feel disgusted..."

Tang Jing's voice wasn't loud, just loud enough for those nearby to hear. Among these people was Li Jie.

To be honest, Li Jie had returned to the Heavenly Elf Empire full of ambition. Although she had lost so many treasures, obtaining traces of the Dark Elf territory meant she felt no disappointment.

As expected, when she reported this news to the kings of various countries, those fanatical religious figures took it extremely seriously.

To the Great Elves, the Night Elves were heretics they wished to exterminate instantly!

Therefore, each country simultaneously sent representatives to the Elven Temple to request its assistance in resuming the extermination and completely eradicating those heretical races!

Since the Holy Maiden of the Elven Temple, Xue Ran, was in seclusion, the temple elders took charge of this matter.

Following past practice, the temple dispatched its natural archers to assist, and each country selected its best warriors to form an extermination team. This time, the position of team leader was successfully secured by Li Jie through her volunteering and the subtle methods she employed.

This was an unparalleled honor—a princess leading a group of highly respected warriors from various countries. Even if the time was short, it would greatly benefit Li Jie's future ambitions.

Therefore, during the journey, Li Jie diligently and meticulously arranged the extermination team's schedule. And she deliberately behaved extremely well in front of the members of the extermination team, all to give them the best impression.

To be honest, Li Jie didn't want to come to the Desire Restaurant; she knew Tang Jing and the others were hostile towards her. But besides the Desire Restaurant, she couldn't think of any other restaurant with a better environment. After all, everything she did was based on making these people happy.

At first, seeing that Tang Jing occasionally showed signs of displeasure but didn't do anything, she assumed Tang Jing, Su Ying, and Lin Jiayi were afraid of her, and felt quite smug.

But unexpectedly, Tang Jing started to undermine her.

This made Li Jie curse Tang Jing in her heart, but she couldn't show it in front of the members of the extermination team; she couldn't leave them with the impression of being petty.

So, Li Jie calmed herself down, acting as if Tang Jing wasn't talking about her, and continued talking to the members.

Tang Jing pouted. She said, "Some people are indeed hypocritical! Their skin can be so thick. I admire them, I admire them... I thought the elves were a noble race. I never expected such people to exist."

These words were quite malicious. Hearing this, Li Jie's face changed drastically.

"What are you saying? Are you insulting our Great Elf race?!" Li Jie was indeed shrewd; she deliberately shifted the conflict to the Great Elves. That way, no matter how she acted, those people would only think she was upholding the dignity of the Great Elves, and wouldn't think of anything else. "Did

I say anything about the Great Elves? I said the Great Elves are noble, didn't you hear me? Or do you think I'm wrong? That the Great Elves aren't noble at all?"

It must be said that Tang Jing was usually a tough character who didn't talk much but acted, but when she did speak, she was quite sharp-tongued.

Li Jie cursed Tang Jing inwardly, then sneered, "Please don't utter any words that insult our Great Elf race, or I will punish you at all costs!"

"Punish?" Tang Jing glanced at Li Jie disdainfully and said, "Tch... Do you think this is your Heavenly Empire's palace? You can punish whomever you want? Don't forget, this is Ya'nan City. Does your Heavenly Empire intend to break the agreement between human and elven territories and incorporate Ya'nan City into your own territory?"

Tang Jing's words left Li Jie speechless. She couldn't answer. If she confronted Tang Jing directly, it would indeed be considered a breach of the agreement. But not confronting her directly would be too humiliating.

In an instant, Li Jie's pretty face flushed red, her eyes blazing with anger as she stared at Tang Jing.

Su Ying and Lin Jiayi, watching all this, couldn't help but admire Tang Jing's sharp tongue—it was definitely as powerful as her fists! She was simply infuriating!

While secretly pleased... They let Tang Jing mock Li Jie, but when they saw Li Jie was clearly enraged, they quickly tugged at Tang Jing's clothes, signaling her to stop while she was ahead, fearing the situation might escalate...

Yan Xuan carried the food into the Desire Restaurant's lobby. Just then, Tang Jing was being persuaded to shut up by Lin Jiayi and Su Ying.

Tang Jing snorted coldly. She glanced at Su Ying and Lin Jiayi, then looked disdainfully at Li Jie, her meaning clearly, "I'm letting you off this time for my sisters' sake!"

Li Jie's face flushed red with anger. The veins on her forehead throbbed slightly, and she glared angrily at Tang Jing. It looked like a fight was about to break out!

Having just learned the identities of Li Jie's group, Yan Xuan couldn't help but secretly groan at the sight.

Li Jie!

You must be patient!

Damn it, if you lose your temper and start a fight, those great elves definitely won't stand idly by. Then Yan Xuan would be in a dilemma.

Although he didn't want any conflict with the extermination squad,

he absolutely wouldn't stand idly by and watch Tang Jing, Su Ying, and Lin Jiayi suffer.

In a moment of urgency, Yan Xuan hurriedly picked up the tray full of food and drinks, quickly walked to Li Jie, and bowed, saying, "Miss Li Jie, what you requested has been brought."

Li Jie gave Yan Xuan a cold look. She let out a long sigh, suppressing her anger, and secretly vowed to make Tang Jing pay sooner or later.

Yan Xuan's action was purely to distract her. After speaking, without waiting for Li Jie's response, he placed the food and drinks on the two tables.

Then, standing between the two tables, he began to boast about the Desire Restaurant, spitting everywhere...

Li Jie was already in a bad mood, and now, hearing Yan Xuan's endless chatter, along with his constant praise of the Desire Restaurant and his flattery of Tang Jing, Su Ying, and Lin Jiayi, only fueled her anger. However, glancing at the members of the extermination squad who seemed quite interested in what Yan Xuan was saying, she had no choice but to patiently endure it, her brow furrowed. She couldn't afford to vent her frustration on Tang Jing any longer.

After a rambling introduction, Yan Xuan secretly observed Li Jie and saw that the anger in her eyes had subsided, seemingly suppressed for the time being. Relieved, he casually said a few words and then stepped aside.

The members of the Elf Empire's extermination squad, accustomed to a life of luxury and refined tastes, had never experienced food like that served to ordinary people at the Desire Restaurant.

It tasted delicious, and they ate with gusto, praising it endlessly.

Yan Xuan stood to the side, quickly thinking, planning to find an opportunity to go to the third-floor guest rooms and inform Jing Sa to leave immediately.

Thinking back to the angry and desperate look in Jing Sa's eyes when he took her last night, Yan Xuan guessed that Jing Sa wouldn't listen to what he said.

After hesitating for a moment, Yan Xuan muttered under his breath, "Damn it, telling her is my duty, whether she listens or not is her business!"

Just as Yan Xuan was pondering, a chattering sound came from outside the

Desire

Restaurant. Based on past experience, Yan Xuan knew that Xu Jing's circus members had returned.

It seemed that the weather had also affected the circus performance today. They were returning much earlier than usual.

Xu Jing entered the Desire Restaurant wearing a raincoat, her eyes scanning the surroundings.

When her gaze landed on Yan Xuan, it swept past him without hesitation, as if she didn't even see him.

Speaking of which, Yan Xuan was also puzzled by Xu Jing's recent behavior.

Since the last incident, Xu Jing seemed to have completely given in, and hadn't made things difficult for Yan Xuan anymore. Yan Xuan had initially suspected Xu Jing of having ulterior motives, but after waiting for a long time, Xu Jing's inaction overturned his judgment.

However, Yan Xuan simply couldn't believe that Xu Jing would compromise with him so easily…

After much contemplation, Yan Xuan decided that he would observe Xu Jing's actions closely from now on, always remaining vigilant!

"Ah? Your Highness Li Jie." Xu Jing's eyes lit up when she saw Li Jie, and she quickly walked towards her with an extremely warm expression.

Li Jie smiled and nodded at Xu Jing. She didn't dislike this female magician. On the contrary, Li Jie quite liked her because Xu Jing was very good at handling people.

Li Jie, troubled by Tang Jing, needed someone like Xu Jing who could chat with her and please her to cheer her up.

Seeing Xu Jing approaching, Li Jie stood up and offered her a seat.

"It is a great honor to see Your Highness again," Xu Jing said with a smile.

“Me too, it’s an honor to meet the beautiful magician,” Li Jie returned the greeting.

“What brings you here this time…” Xu Jing’s eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, hoping to elicit Li Jie’s purpose through her words.

Li Jie simply smiled faintly, glanced at the members chatting and drinking, and turned back to Xu Jing, saying, “I have some official business to attend to.”

“Oh.” Xu Jing smiled. She said politely, “I need to go upstairs to change my clothes first. Miss Li Jie, would you like to chat in my room?”

Li Jie was eager to leave this environment; the members were only concerned with drinking and chatting, completely ignoring her, the nominal leader, which made her very uncomfortable. Hearing Xu Jing’s invitation, Li Jie nodded and said, “Sure, it’s been a long time. Tell me about the interesting things that have happened in your performances lately.” Xu Jing smiled and said

, “I would be delighted.”

After saying that, the two walked side by side and turned to go upstairs.

Yan Xuan, seeing this, couldn’t help but feel anxious.

Jing Sa was upstairs, her room very close to Xu Jing's. What if Jing Sa happened to walk out and bump into Li Jie and Xu Jing when they came upstairs? It would be terrible.

Even a high elf like Ying Wu, who knew no magic, could tell Jing Sa was a dark elf; let alone Li Jie, who was skilled in magic.

The most terrifying thing was... what if Li Jie, a high elf skilled in magic, was even better at recognizing dark elves than Ying Wu?

Damn it! The worst fear was that even if Jing Sa didn't leave her room, as long as Li Jie got close, she would sense Jing Sa's dark elf aura!

Seeing Li Jie greet the members of the extermination team and about to go upstairs,

Yan Xuan, in his anxiety, saw Lin Jiayi leave the bar and head to the trash can in the corner to throw away the fruit peels she had just eaten.

In a moment of quick thinking, Yan Xuan strode towards Lin Jiayi…

“Before Li Jie goes upstairs, quickly tell Jing Sa that she’s in danger! Tell her that a lot of Great Elf people have arrived…” Yan Xuan said in a commanding tone as he passed Lin Jiayi.

Lin Jiayi was taken aback and subconsciously turned to look at Yan Xuan. She saw him give her a cold glance.

It seemed Yan Xuan wasn’t exaggerating.

Although Lin Jiayi didn’t know why Yan Xuan said such a thing, she knew this wasn’t the time to overthink it. She should hurry and inform Jing Sa. If, as Yan Xuan said, Jing Sa was truly in danger, then her carefully crafted plan would be ruined.

Thinking of this, Lin Jiayi quickly went upstairs.

Yan Xuan, unaware of Lin Jiayi’s ulterior motives, assumed she was completely obeying his orders and felt a surge of smug satisfaction.

"Su Ying, I'm going back to my room for a bit, I'll be right down."

Lin Jiayi hurriedly said to the bar counter and quickly went upstairs...

In Jing Sa's room.

Jing Sa lay on the bed, her limbs aching and weak. Although the pain in her lower body had long since improved, the pain in her heart was becoming increasingly severe.

Every time she thought of Yan Xuan's frenzied thrusting on her last night, she felt a piercing heartache.

This heartache made her even more determined to fight to the bitter end with her broken body!

At this moment, there was a slight knock on the door.

Jing Sa sat up alertly and asked in a muffled voice, "Who is it?"

"Miss Jing Sa, it's me, Lin Jiayi, open the door quickly." Lin Jiayi said urgently from outside the door.

Jing Sa hesitated for a moment. She got out of bed and opened the door, giving Lin Jiayi a cold glance. She said, "What is it?"

"You need to leave here quickly, there's danger!" Lin Jiayi said in a low voice. As she spoke, she kept glancing at the stairwell.

"What danger?" Jing Sa asked in confusion.

Lin Jiayi was stunned by the question. Yes, what danger?

She was just following Yan Xuan's orders; she had no idea what danger it might be!

"Anyway, you need to leave here quickly. I won't lie to you, trust me!"

Then, remembering Yan Xuan's words, Lin Jiayi added, "Many Great Elves are coming down here..."

Jing Sa's body suddenly trembled. She looked at Lin Jiayi in astonishment. Did she know she was a Dark Elf? Otherwise, how would she know the Great Elves posed a threat to her?

At that moment, footsteps came from the stairs, along with the sounds of Xu Jing and Li Jie laughing and talking.

"Hurry up! Otherwise, it'll be too late!" Lin Jiayi said urgently.

Li Jie's approach made Jing Sa feel a sense of pressure. Her arduous escape made Jing Sa realize that the situation was indeed as Lin Jiayi said—danger was imminent!

As Li Jie's footsteps drew closer, the sense of crisis Jing Sa felt intensified.

So, without delay, she nodded to Lin Jiayi, turned, and darted towards the window. Opening the window, she disappeared into the rain in a flash.

"Miss Lin Jiayi, what are you doing here?" Xu Jing saw Lin Jiayi standing at Jing Sa's door, which was still open, and asked in confusion, "Are you looking for Miss Jing Sa? Isn't she here?"

"Oh, I have something to tell Miss Jing Sa. It seems she's gone out. Sigh. It's raining so hard; I hope Miss Jing Sa has somewhere to take shelter." Lin Jiayi replied perfunctorily, her expression flawless...

Jing Sa, moving through the rain, didn't use any energy to block the rain; instead, she deliberately endured the lash of the raindrops.

In an instant, Jing Sa was soaked to the bone. A gust of wind blew past, and she couldn't help but shiver.

Thinking about her recent experiences, Jing Sa couldn't help but smile bitterly, tears mingling with the rain as they streamed down her face...

Looking ahead, everything was a blur. Everything was so indistinct in the rain.

Jing Sa hesitated for a moment, then sped towards the mansion where Yana usually hid.

In the secret room of the mansion,

Yana sat in a chair, her eyes closed. She seemed to be deep in thought.

When Jing Sa approached the mansion, Yana sensed her presence and suddenly opened her eyes. She hurriedly got up, walked to the door of the secret room, opened it, and looked out into the dark passageway.

"Jing Sa, you're back. Where have you been lately?" Yana asked with concern, looking at the soaking wet Jing Sa. She quickly pulled Jing Sa into the secret room, closed the door tightly, and grabbed a towel to wipe the rain off Jing Sa.

"No...nothing, I've just been going out for walks lately." Jing Sa smiled and said, but the smile couldn't hide the instinctive sadness she felt upon seeing her family after enduring so much hardship.

"What's wrong? Tell your sister, did something happen?" Yana asked anxiously.

"Sister Yana, it's nothing. Really, it's nothing, I'm just a little tired." Jing Sa gently pushed away Yana's arm as she wiped the rain from her face, and walked to a chair, sitting down.

"Jing Sa, you look so haggard." Yana walked to Jing Sa's side and gently lifted her hair.

Jing Sa looked up at Yana and smiled sadly, but didn't say anything.

Chapter 263 Losing Both the Wife and the Army

Yana felt even more terrified when she saw Jing Sa like this. She didn't know what had happened to Jing Sa recently. How had her smart, lovely, and occasionally a little feisty sister become like this?

"Sister, don't ask, I'm really fine. Just tired, just tired..." Jing Sa said softly.

"Jing Sa..." Yana was still unwilling to give up and asked.

Before she could finish speaking, Jing Sa shouted sharply, "Don't ask anymore. I need to rest, let me rest for a while!"

As she spoke, she buried her face in her hands, tears streaming down her cheeks. For a long time, Jing Sa's nerves had been taut. When she saw Yana, whom she could lean on, she immediately relaxed. However, this ordeal was difficult to talk about, and under Yana's persistent questioning, she became almost hysterical.

Yana stared intently at Jing Sa, deeply concerned for her, but she didn't ask any more questions. She felt it wouldn't be too late to tell her slowly after she had rested.

Jing Sa suddenly raised her lowered head, gazed at Yana for a moment, and choked out, "Sister..."

"Little sister, what wronged you? Can't you tell your sister?" Yana said.

"Sister, I will definitely tell you later, but now, please don't ask anymore. Everything I did was of my own free will!" Jing Sa said firmly, then slumped back in her chair, refusing to utter another word no matter how Yana begged and questioned her.

Left with no other choice, Yana sat down on another chair, gazing at Jing Sa with extremely complex emotions.

Two days ago, an elder of the Dark Elf clan sent someone to report that some materials stored in the Elder Council regarding the inheritance of the Death Spider Queen's energy had clearly been looked through.

Fortunately, it was only some annotations; the core, important parts were intact.

Yana racked her brains, trying to think of everyone who might be interested in those materials. She then recalled the argument Jing Sa had with her before leaving, and a terrifying feeling gripped her heart.

Oh God!

Could Jing Sa…

no!

Yan Xuan usually hid his true nature very well; Jing Sa certainly wouldn't know that Yan Xuan was that handsome elf.

Despite her fear, Yana could only comfort herself. She thought that if Jing Sa really did such a thing, if her mysterious contract were truly broken, then she would definitely sense it.

Little did she know, to break the mysterious contract between Yana and Yanxuan, she had to offer herself to him while he was in his handsome elven form… Last night, when Jing Sa was being ravaged by Yanxuan, he was still in his half-elf form, meaning that Jing Sa's physical offering had no effect.

Alas… this was truly a double loss…

Yana tried hard to stop thinking about Jing Sa. She believed that if Jing Sa's emotions stabilized, she would tell her everything. After all, they had grown up together, and Jing Sa had always treated her like an older sister. She would confide in her whenever she had something on her mind.

To avoid thinking about Jing Sa, Yana deliberately tried to think of other things to distract herself.

But recently, she had too many worries. Even if she didn't think about Jing Sa, other things were giving her a headache.

Take the Dark Elf tribe, for example!

Resources in the hidden jungle were dwindling, and the tribe was facing a powerful crisis. The elders reported that Chief Monrek hadn't truly shouldered his responsibilities. He spent his days in a drunken stupor, completely indifferent to the affairs of the tribe…

Yana knew Monrek's change was because of her, but she felt no sympathy for him. On the contrary, she began to loathe him. Yana believed a man should be able to take things in stride. Monrek had promised her everything before leaving, but after returning to the Night Elf tribe, he treated the tribe's affairs with this attitude.

This was not only irresponsible but also untrustworthy!

Sigh…

Yana let out a soft sigh. She felt the burden on her shoulders growing heavier, so heavy she could barely bear it, on the verge of collapse.

How she wished she had someone to rely on…

As this thought crossed her mind, Yana suddenly saw the image of Yanxuan… She blushed and spat twice.

That treacherous and cunning fellow, how could she rely on him!

What was wrong with her? Lately, she kept thinking about that bastard!

Thinking of Yanxuan, Yana was filled with doubt again. Last night, Yanxuan had told her to wait at the Black Blood Society headquarters, but she had waited for a long time and hadn't seen him.

Could it be that this guy deliberately sent her away to do something else?

Suddenly.

Yana's body jolted, her eyes filled with vigilance. She had just sensed a powerful aura, the kind emanating from a top-tier expert of the Great Elf race. Moreover, this energy was weaving a web throughout the entire city of Yanan, seemingly waiting for something.

The Night Elf Extermination Squad!

A terrifying name flashed through Yana's mind…

Yana's memories of the Night Elf Extermination Squad dated back to her childhood. Before she became the inheritor of the Death Spider Queen's energy, she lived a carefree life like all her peers.

But the exposure of the Night Elves' whereabouts attracted the ruthless extermination squad!

This organization, gathering all the strongest warriors of the Elf Empire, was like an executioner's steel blade—cruthless and sharp!

Their appearance meant the end of peace and tranquility, the arrival of bloodshed.

They used their extraordinary abilities to mercilessly slaughter the old, weak, and disabled of the Night Elves, and following them would come the Great Elf army…

Yana thought of that night. Watching countless lives of her people being taken, the terrifying night filled with piles of corpses, she suddenly shuddered.

It was clear: the Night Elf extermination group only formed around the Elven Temple, with powerful figures from various elven empires participating, when they discovered traces of the Night Elves.

How had they discovered the Night Elf race?

The group's appearance in Yharnam City meant that the Night Elf traces they had discovered were here, but currently, besides herself, only Jing Sa was in Yharnam City.

Had they discovered Jing Sa's whereabouts? As

Yana thought this, she subconsciously glanced at Jing Sa, who was still pretending to sleep with his eyes closed, lost in thought. So, without disturbing him, she hesitated for a moment, then slightly moved her hands, and darkness enveloped the entire room…

A moment later, a unique barrier of the Night Elves enveloped the secret chamber. As long as they didn't leave this chamber, the Great Elves wouldn't detect any of their presence.

In truth, Yana had cast this barrier entirely for Jing Sa's sake.

If it were her, she wouldn't be afraid of those extermination squads! Throughout the entire elven territory, the only person she worried about was the Holy Maiden Xue Ran of the Elven Temple!

Hmm… the Dark Elf extermination squads were all commanded by the Elven Temple. Could it be that that woman has come too?

In the central square of Yharnam City,

Li Jie directed the experts from various countries to set up a massive energy network, striving to capture every movement in every corner of Yharnam City.

Watching those experts busily working under her command, even the Elven Temple's Nature Archers obeying her orders without hesitation, Li Jie felt an unprecedented sense of pride. In the night, her pretty face was full of a triumphant smile.

"Commander, the energy network is complete. Any Dark Elf that appears will surely not escape!" a Nature Archer said, bowing.

Li Jie nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

She then gazed into the distance, secretly hoping that the Dark Elves would appear soon. That would prove her intelligence was accurate; if they didn't, her wonderful life would be over, having lost the trust of the Elven Temple. This meant she would be unable to move an inch from now on.

The longer she waited, the slower time seemed, and Li Jie grew increasingly anxious…

In the Desire Tavern,

Yan Xuan lay sprawled on the bed. Damn it, today was more tiring than any other day; he was exhausted, his back ached, and his legs cramped… Bored

out of his mind, Yan Xuan tossed and turned. Where had Jing Sa gone?

In the evening, Li Jie had left with the elves, probably to conduct a search… Hmm, Jing Sa didn't matter. He just hoped Yana wouldn't be discovered.

Chapter 264 Following the Clues:

Yana was Yan Xuan's first woman, or more accurately, his first woman in both his past and present lives!

Although Yanxuan didn't consciously think about it, he had unconsciously developed strange feelings for Yana, even though he always considered himself Yana's master. He would even glare at her and speak coldly to her from time to time…

First feelings are always too immature, like those elementary school students who, if they really like a little girl, end up bullying her the most.

Yana and Yingwu were different. Yanxuan doted on Yingwu because she was young and mischievous, so he always treated her like a spoiled little girl. But with Yana, due to their initial master-servant contract, he always felt it was only natural that she was good to him and that he could use her as he pleased.

This, perhaps, was just male chauvinism at play…

Yanxuan couldn't stop thinking about Yana; the more he thought about her, the more worried he became, tossing and turning, unable to sit still!

Damn it. Why isn't that woman here yet? Looking at the time, she should be here by now!

Damn it!

Let's see how I deal with her when she gets here!

Could something have happened?

Oh no, if Li Jie and her gang found out on the way here, it would be dangerous. Yana hasn't been feeling well lately; she might not be a match for them!

Yan Xuan grew increasingly anxious and frustrated. He jumped out of bed, opened the window, took a deep breath of the fresh, earthy air, and gazed into the distance, listening intently for any sounds of fighting.

In this situation, Yan Xuan couldn't bear the loneliness of being alone in the room. He considered taking out the Chastity Ring and chatting with Da Nian Zhang to pass the time. But then he thought better of it. He'd better go to Liu Mang's place to check on his progress and have Da Nian Zhang teach him some more alchemy.

Hmm…

and while he's at it, he should also take a detour around Yanan City and search for Yana!

Having made up his mind, Yan Xuan didn't want to stay in the room for even a moment longer. He secretly ran to the door, listened for any sound outside, then transformed into his handsome elf form, donned a silver brocade robe, and shot out the window like lightning.

Yan Xuan was restless. He felt an unbearable heat throughout his body, and in the chilly night, he ran wildly, letting the cool breeze wash over him. Enjoying that moment of comfort, for a moment, the aura of Nine Yang energy flowed around him, and a long red afterimage stretched behind him.

Long streets and alleys. Yan Xuan roamed freely, his mood currently unsatisfied, actually hoping some fools would come out to cause trouble, allowing him to vent his frustrations.

But to his surprise, not a single person was out in the entire city of Yanan. Most likely, the daytime rain had made the roads muddy, and with the night so deep, everyone was enjoying the comfort of their wives and children in the warmth of their beds.

After running around for a while... Yan Xuan cursed under his breath in regret, hesitated for a moment, and then sped towards the Black Blood Society's headquarters...

In the central square of Yharnam City,

the members of the Dark Elf Extermination Group were all hiding behind the massive stone sculptures. When Yan Xuan raced across the square, they were all simultaneously shocked by the powerful aura he exuded. The red halo of the Nine Yang Energy, in particular, terrified them.

Of those present, apart from the natural archers from the Elven Temple who were also skilled in some martial arts and archery, the other members followed the typical Elven path, relying on their magical talents to primarily study magic.

Therefore, in their minds, those natural archers were able to cultivate martial arts because they were favored by the God of Nature, while other great elves had to bear the inherent constitution of elves, only able to develop in the realm of magic, but unable to practice martial arts.

However, the elf who had just flashed before their eyes, with its overwhelming aura and radiant light, possessed characteristics of a master of martial arts.

This was beyond their comprehension; for a moment, they looked at each other, bewildered, unable to fathom what was going on.

During this time, these members used magical telepathy to inquire which elven empire this elf belonged to. They knew that such a highly skilled expert, in any country, meant that that country might have discovered a secret method allowing elves to cultivate martial arts, which, if true, would completely shatter the balance of power among the three elven kingdoms.

However, after asking each other, they found no answers, all shaking their heads, their eyes filled with confusion and suspicion as they looked at their companions. After all, this was a huge secret, and anyone could deliberately conceal it.

Hidden in a corner, Li Jie was utterly astonished to see Yan Xuan appear.

At first, she had assumed Yan Xuan belonged to the Desire Restaurant, and even now, that suspicion remained. While much of that doubt had dissipated, she couldn't completely abandon her suspicions.

Seeing Yan Xuan move with lightning speed, seemingly in a hurry to attend to something, her mind raced with doubt.

Turning her head, she saw the members of the extermination team staring with puzzled expressions in the direction Yan Xuan had disappeared. A thought struck her; this might be a golden opportunity.

Since they hadn't found a trace of the Dark Elves, why not use their current power to do something for themselves?

Track this powerful figure. See what his purpose is, and perhaps they could use the extermination team's strength to eliminate him completely. That way, even if he truly had some connection to the Desire Restaurant, it would eliminate any future trouble, preventing that despicable woman Tang Jing from becoming arrogant again, and giving her a good blow!

Moreover, they might even be able to follow the trail and retrieve the treasures this guy stole. The other treasures are fine, but that magical glove—they absolutely must get it back.

A cold smile crept across Li Jie's lips as she thought this.

She stood up and walked to the center of the plaza, beckoning to the hidden members.

The members filed out, standing before Li Jie, looking at their leader with suspicion.

Li Jie frowned and said, "Everyone saw that elf who just passed by, right?"

"Yes, that elf was truly bizarre. How could he possess such powerful battle aura?" a member said doubtfully.

Li Jie said seriously, "We must follow him. This elf has a very close relationship with those heretics of the Dark Elf race. I personally witnessed a high-ranking Dark Elf woman calling him 'Master'..."

All the members of the extermination team trembled, looking in astonishment in the direction Yan Xuan had disappeared.

"Let's go after him! We must destroy these heretics and anyone connected to them!" a nature archer from the Elf Temple shouted.

These religious devotees, upon hearing this, immediately agreed in unison. In their lives, nothing was more important than maintaining religious unity.

Li Jie nodded slightly. She turned and waved, then sped off in the direction Yan Xuan had disappeared. The others also used their magic to levitate in mid-air and float away at incredible speeds…

At the headquarters of the Black Blood Society,

Yan Xuan entered Hexagram's room with practiced ease. He found Hexagram meditating with his eyes closed, while Priss lay on the floor snoring loudly. A messy food plate lay beside him.

Yan Xuan reached into his waistband and grasped the Chastity Ring in his hand.

“You brat, you only just remembered me now! I was suffocating!” The old man’s protesting voice immediately appeared in Yan Xuan’s mind.

“You old lecher, what are you yelling about? I just let you out for some fresh air! If you yell again, I’ll shove you back in right away!” Yan Xuan said, frowning.

Da Nian Zhang's voice abruptly stopped. Over six hundred years of silence had brought him to the brink of despair, and now that his consciousness had finally awakened, he craved no more loneliness.

"Strange, what's that kid doing?" Da Nian Zhang asked in surprise.

Yan Xuan glanced at the six-pointed star and said smugly, "My disciple is diligent enough, isn't he? Of course he's meditating, cultivating magic power. Even I can see it. How could you not?"

"No. He's not meditating at all..." Da Nian Zhang immediately denied, then suddenly exclaimed in shock, "Heavens! Does this guy want to die? This isn't meditation, he's in the alchemical refining stage! What is he refining? What is he refining?"

"You don't even know what he's refining? How would I know! You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?" Yan Xuan said irritably.

"Ah! He's refining himself..." Da Nian Zhang's voice was filled with horror.

Yan Xuan was taken aback, and asked in confusion, "Refine yourself? Have you gone mad? What nonsense are you spouting? Didn't you say that alchemy is for refining external objects? How can you refine yourself now?"

Chapter 265 Miraculous

"Yes, that's right, alchemy can only refine external objects. But this kid has gone crazy and is actually refining himself, so I said he doesn't want to live!" Da Nian Zhang said urgently.

Yan Xuan's body trembled. If what Da Nian Zhang said was true, then things were really dangerous. Could it be that Liu Mang was provoked by Da Nian Zhang and was cultivating so recklessly?

"You old lecher, it's all your fault. Tell Liu Mang that he can't increase his magic power at all! He must be too anxious. That's why he's cultivating so recklessly! I'm telling you, if anything happens to him, you can expect to enjoy a sunbath!" Yan Xuan said fiercely. Anxious, Yan Xuan kept glancing at Liu Mang, wanting to wake him, but he was also frightened by the martial arts novels he had read in his past life. Those novels all said that the worst thing to do during cultivation was to be disturbed, otherwise there was a risk of going into qi deviation.

"Do you think I want this!" Da Nian Zhang said angrily, then asked suspiciously, "Strange, this kid doesn't seem to be in any pain at all, he seems quite comfortable?"

At Da Nian Zhang's reminder, Yan Xuan also carefully observed Liu Mang's expression. He saw that the guy's eyes were smiling as if he was having a sweet dream, and he was extremely peaceful and content.

"Hey. Pulis. Wake up!" Yan Xuan hesitated for a moment, walked closer to Pulis, and gently patted Pulis's body.

Who knew. Pulis just turned over, snoring even louder, showing no signs of waking up.

Pat pat...

"Wake up!" Yan Xuan patted harder.

Pulis was still fast asleep...

"Damn. There's food!" Yan Xuan shouted loudly.

"Huh? Where? Where?" Pulis scrambled to his feet, his eyes still heavy with sleep. He asked repeatedly.

Yan Xuan couldn't help but laugh and cry.

Pulis, regaining his senses, didn't even see who was in front of him before collapsing back to the ground. He pleaded, "Senior brother, please don't experiment on me anymore... It hurts so much..."

Yan Xuan was utterly astonished. According to what Da Nian Zhang had said, after he gave Pulis the Divine Armor, Pulis should have an extremely high tolerance for pain. How could he feel pain?

An experiment?

Had Hexagram used him for some horrific experiment?

"Priss, look who I am! Keep acting like a scoundrel like this, or I'll teach you a lesson!" Yan Xuan coughed twice and said.

Priss then opened his eyes. When he saw that it was Yan Xuan in front of him instead of Liu Mang, he hurriedly got up and said, "Master. Why are you here? I didn't hear a sound. You're amazing..."

Yan Xuan stared at him, unable to suppress a laugh. Damn. This big guy was sleeping like a log. Even if you dragged him to the slaughterhouse and chopped him up, he probably wouldn't wake up, let alone the slightest footsteps!

"What were you talking about? What kind of experiment did Liu Mang use you for? What is he doing now?" Yan Xuan asked all the questions at once.

Pulis, his face contorted with grief, cried, "Master, don't even mention it! Please save me! For the past two days, my eldest senior brother has been lying here with his eyes closed, grinning like an idiot, neither eating nor drinking. Whenever he wakes up, he forces me to hit him..."

"You hit him?" Yan Xuan asked in surprise, looking at Pulis's large, basket-like hands, then at Liu Mang's thin frame...

But it wasn't Liu Mang hitting him, Pulis hitting Liu Mang. Why did it seem like Pulis was in more pain than Yan Xuan himself?

"What exactly happened?" Yan Xuan asked, frowning

. "Can't you explain yourself clearly?" It had to be said, Pulis's communication skills were very poor, and it was incredibly difficult for Yan Xuan to understand his slurred, incoherent speech.

After a long while, Pulis finally finished speaking, and Yan Xuan, with great difficulty, understood the cause of the matter.

It turned out that after Yanxuan left that night, Liu Mang had the bizarre idea of using the strange magic power within his body to refine it. At first, Liu Mang screamed in pain, rolling on the ground, which terrified Pulis.

Gradually, Liu Mang calmed down and slept for almost a day. When he woke up, he was full of energy and kept grinning foolishly.

He thought he had successfully cultivated that strange magic power. However, when he tried to use it, he was surprised to find that the power of the magic scroll had not improved at all. It was still just a small fireball, a frightening but ineffective explosion spell...

This caused Liu Mang immense pain. After beating his chest and stamping his feet, he angrily banged his head against the table, yelling that he was a complete waste.

Who knew? After banging his head twice, his forehead was fine, but the table had a large hole in it...

Liu Mang was stunned for a moment, then immediately ordered Pulis to hit his body. At first, Pulis used very little strength to test the waters, but as Liu Mang asked, Pulis's strength increased.

Surprisingly... Pulis's fist could send Hexagram flying, but Hexagram would get up unharmed. He grinned and continued to let Pulis hit him. After countless punches, when Pulis swung his fist again,

Hexagram's slender body was sent flying, crashing heavily into the wall.

But Pulis was the unlucky one. With a crisp crack, Pulis felt a heat in his fist, followed by a slight pain. Looking down, he saw that the hairs on his fist were all singed, and his knuckles were red and swollen, as if something had exploded.

Gradually, this condition became more and more obvious and severe each time he hit Hexagram. When his fist touched Hexagram's body, a burst of flame would erupt from the point of impact. The flame would explode on his fist…

Understanding Hexagram's transformation, Yan Xuan was dumbfounded.

A moment later, he was pulled back to reality by Da Nian's strange cry.

"My God! This is amazing, incredible, incredible..." Da Nian Zhang exclaimed in surprise.

"What exactly happened?" Yan Xuan asked in confusion.

"I'm not quite sure yet. I'll have to wait until that kid wakes up and ask him in detail before I can draw a conclusion!" Da Nian Zhang said.

Suddenly. Da Nian Zhang let out a hiss...

"Someone has entered this place, and the magic is very powerful!" Da Nian Zhang said.

Before he finished speaking, a commotion suddenly came from outside.

It turned out that Li Jie and her gang, confident in their status, didn't want to do anything sneaky. And after meeting a few members of the Black Blood Society, they looked down on these rabble, swaggering around in the sky and on the ground. They entered the Black Blood Society's headquarters and easily took down two sentries who tried to stop them.

At this moment, all the Black Blood Society members gathered at the garden gate where Liu Mang lived, surrounding the extermination team and verbally retaliating.

"Well... it was just words... They dared not make any rash moves. The power these elves displayed was too awesome. Thugs, after all, care about face. If they lose face in terms of ability, they'll just have to resort to insults...

Anyway, their leader will step in and take charge later. These lackeys are just there to put on a show. "

Yan Xuan frowned as he looked through the crack in the window at the group of killers.

"Kid, something's finally happened! Looks like those are the Night Elf Killing Group. You'd better protect the two Night Elf girls with you! Killing Groups are always ruthless and merciless," Da Nian Zhang said.

Yan Xuan asked in confusion, "You also know about the Dark Elf Extermination Group?"

"Of course," Da Nian Zhang replied, "The conflict between the Great Elves and the Dark Elves dates back over a thousand years. In my time, the Great Elves were ruthlessly annihilating the Dark Elves." He added, "You'd better be careful dealing with them; these guys are elites from various elven empires!"

"Why would I fight them? If I can't beat them, I'll just hide," Yan Xuan said casually.

"If you don't deal with them, they'll deal with you sooner or later. Don't forget, you still have a female slave from the Night Elf race!"

Yan Xuan trembled, but stubbornly replied, "At worst, I'll just give that female slave to them."

Da Nian Zhang snorted coldly and said, "Are you even a man? Being a lecher is fine, but a lecher with class fights for his prey. Let me tell you, any woman we've slept with has been branded by us. We can play with them ourselves, but we absolutely will not allow anyone to disrespect them!"

Yan Xuan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, his face flushed slightly as he said, "I know, you don't need to nag me."

Da Nian Zhang chuckled wickedly and said, "I know what you're thinking. You always consider yourself a lecher, thinking that lechers are just people who play with women without wasting their feelings, right? Hmph. That's the lowest level of lecher!"

Chapter 266 Fighting for a High-Level Rogue

"Alright, stop nagging, can't you call yourself high-level?" Yan Xuan said impatiently as he spoke. But she was determined not to let those bastards hurt Yana, no matter what.

The members of the extermination squad were used to a life of luxury and were accustomed to being respected. Even interacting with these thugs made them feel ashamed, let alone with the constant stream of foul language from them. A few of the more hot-tempered ones unleashed a wind blade spell, leaving numerous bloody gashes on the bodies of the thugs who had spat the most.

The Black Blood Society members fell silent, exchanging bewildered glances, their eyes filled with fear.

Li Jie walked triumphantly to the front and said coldly, "Where's that elf?"

Because Yan Xuan had been hiding from the sentries when entering the Black Blood Society, Li Jie's question left the members completely bewildered.

Da Nian Zhang said, "Ha, so she came with you. Now, you can't escape even if you want to."

"Come on then. Who's afraid of who!" Yan Xuan said fiercely, glancing back at the still-closing-eyes, grinning Liu Mang. He thought to himself, the wandering soul was still locked in the secret chamber. It seemed he had no choice but to

step forward. "Priss, come with me!" Yan Xuan said in a deep voice, turning and pushing open the door, striding out.

"Oh. It's Master." Priss hurriedly followed behind...

Yan Xuan's appearance drew everyone's attention. The sentries were extremely puzzled; they clearly hadn't seen how this elf had entered. How could he be coming out of the room now?

Most of the gang members had seen Yan Xuan before. Knowing his power, seeing him stride towards them, they couldn't help but perk up. Those who usually looked down on Liu Mang were now grateful that he was their leader; at least he had such a powerful figure.

"Were you all looking for me?" Yan Xuan stood not far in front of Li Jie, smiling calmly.

"We meet again!" Li Jie said coldly, her anger rising as she recalled the arrogance of this guy when he stole her treasure.

"Yes, beautiful lady. It's truly an honor to see you again. We missed each other last time. I wonder if you have time to have dinner with me this time? Your beauty has lingered in my heart ever since we parted!" Yan Xuan said with gentlemanly manners.

His words surprised the members of the extermination squad, who all looked at Li Jie, speculating about her relationship with this handsome elf...

Some of the more gossipy ones even wondered if Li Jie and this elf had developed a grudge and were deliberately linking him to the dark elf to vent her anger on the extermination squad.

Li Jie's pretty face flushed slightly at Yan Xuan's words, and she angrily retorted, "Where's your female slave? That night elf!"

"Tsk tsk... Miss Li Jie. Are you jealous? That's not good. How can you be jealous of a female slave?" Yan Xuan said with a wicked smile.

Li Jie's face turned bright red, and she shouted sharply, "Tell me her whereabouts, or else..."

"Or else what? Or else not to go on a date with me? Not to have dinner with me? Or not to..." Yan Xuan revealed a wicked smile.

Boom...

The gang members, who had just been too scared to speak by the extermination group, immediately burst into laughter when they heard Yan Xuan completely gaining the upper hand and mocking the woman without any restraint.

At this moment, a natural archer from the elven temple stepped forward, coldly sizing up Yan Xuan, and said, "Hand over the night elf. All those who collude with heretics will be subject to the temple's most severe punishment!"

Yan Xuan was very annoyed by this guy's arrogant manner and looked at him with disdain. Thinking to himself, "You son of a bitch! Even your temple's holy maiden was scared to tears by me, who do you think you are!

" Yan Xuan's disdainful gaze made the natural archer feel his dignity had been insulted, and his face changed drastically. A flash of green light appeared in his hand, and the longbow on his back had already appeared in his grasp.

"Damn it. What's coming is coming!

Then let me fight for being a high-class rogue!"

Yan Xuan's words were actually a deliberate provocation; he had been preparing for battle all along. Even if Yana had been a slave for so long, this was compensation for her!

If you want to touch my woman! You'll have to get past me first!

Yan Xuan stood there, his playful smile vanished, his eyes sharp as he stared at the natural archer. His overwhelming fighting spirit made everyone present tremble.

The Nine Yang Energy became active in Yan Xuan's fighting spirit, surging joyfully, and a red aura overflowed from his body. Like a raging inferno, the surroundings were bathed in a fiery red light, and Yan Xuan stood at the very center of this blazing inferno, like an invincible war god, awaiting the challenge of others!

In this era of peace, the experts of those extermination groups hadn't faced life-or-death battles in a long time.

To be honest, most of the experts who came this time were just seeking empty fame; after all, the Dark Elves had been on the run for nearly a thousand years, barely clinging to life, so exterminating them wouldn't be much trouble.

However, when Yan Xuan, brimming with fighting spirit and fearlessly standing before them to challenge them,

some of these renowned experts felt a chill in their hearts, losing in terms of sheer presence…

Suddenly,

the door behind them opened.

“Master, let your disciple show off!”

Liu Mang had awakened at some point. Seeing the scene outside, although he didn't know the reason, seeing that Yan Xuan wanted to challenge the elves, he immediately categorized them as scoundrels, having gained new abilities. He was eager to show off!

Pulis, who had been watching anxiously from the sidelines, was incredibly excited to see his master about to fight. Unfortunately, he was tongue-tied and didn't know what to say, much less dare to step forward and replace Yanxuan. Now, seeing Liu Mang appear, Pulis immediately chuckled and moved closer to him. He said in a simple voice, "Senior brother, boss! What about me?"

Liu Mang glanced at Pulis smugly, then at the members of the extermination group with disdain, and shouted, "Big guy, what if someone dares to challenge Master?"

"Kill him!" Pulis yelled.

"What if a whole group challenges him?" Liu Mang continued.

"Then kill the whole group!" Pulis danced excitedly. This guy, who used to be cowardly when he was hungry, had now become a thoroughly warmonger, echoing Liu Mang's words. This caused the Black Blood Society members to burst into laughter, while the members of the extermination group turned red with anger.

Hearing the two of them talking like they were performing a comedy routine, Yan Xuan couldn't help but glare at Liu Mang.

Liu Mang quickly shut up, patted Pulis on the shoulder, and said, "Let's go, what are you standing there for!"

As he spoke, the two walked to Yan Xuan's side. Liu Mang grinned at Yan Xuan and said, "Master, your disciple has finally found a chance to shine! You must grant your disciple's request this time!"

He completely ignored the killing squad, which made Li Jie snort coldly.

"Go, go, just don't embarrass yourself!" Yan Xuan said with a smile. To be honest, it would be a lie to say that he wasn't worried about Liu Mang and Pulis. But thinking about it, he couldn't let Liu Mang down too much. Anyway, if something really dangerous happened, he could just step in to rescue them. Damn it, at worst, a group fight would be the worst that could happen.

For the first time, Hexagram could challenge someone with such confidence. His face flushed with excitement, he shouted, "You dare to act wildly in our Black Blood Society? Damn it, you even dare to challenge my master? Even a pure person like me can't stand it! Hey, anyone who dares to fight me, come out!"

Such a blatant challenge, coupled with his utterly uncouth and foul language, enraged a middle-aged elf in the extermination group. Before Li Jie could speak, he strode out of the ranks.

"Wind spirit, you are the most ethereal deity in the world..."

a very long incantation began to flow from his lips.

Those familiar with magic knew this was a high-level wind magic spell. Although the incantation was long, its power was absolutely immense!

It seemed this middle-aged elf was furious and was going all out from the start!

"Hurry up and chant, I'm about to fall asleep!"

Hexagram, completely ignorant of magic, feigned drowsiness and deliberately mocked the middle-aged elf.

Boom...

The members of the Black Blood Society burst into laughter again.

Li Jie sneered inwardly. This magic newbie will be torn to pieces by the wind blades soon!

Yan Xuan didn't understand magic either, so he was equally unaware of the danger. Hearing Liu Mang say this, he found it amusing. "Hurry up and

attack! This guy is using the advanced 'Wind Blade Mad Dragon' spell, it's incredibly powerful!" Da Nian Zhang said urgently. Yan Xuan completely trusted Da Nian Zhang's magical knowledge, and hearing his anxious reminder, he realized the seriousness of the situation and hurriedly went behind Pulis. He gently nudged him and said, "Hurry up and attack!" Pulis was still grinning foolishly, but upon hearing Yan Xuan's command, he nodded vigorously… Pulis's figure moved with lightning speed; his massive body possessed such incredible speed, stunning everyone present. *Slap…* A slap landed on the middle-aged elf's face, causing him to bleed from the mouth. The spell was completely interrupted! "What nonsense are you spouting? Wind spirits, my foot! Damn it, you've upset my master, so I'll teach you a lesson!" Priss shouted, spitting all over the middle-aged elf's face. Mages' weakness lies in close combat; they usually need warriors to cover them while chanting spells. The large number of nature archers sent this time were precisely to protect these elves, skilled in magic but not in melee. The nature archers had been prepared to protect the middle-aged elf as soon as he began chanting, but seeing no intention to attack and realizing these guys were complete magic novices, they lowered their guard. They hadn't expected this orc to suddenly attack with such astonishing speed. "Wind spirits..." *slap*... "Damn it, my master told you not to spout nonsense! Why don't you listen?!" The middle-aged elf, his mouth full of blood, continued chanting, only to be slapped again by Priss. Enraged and exasperated, he fainted on the spot . This sudden action made the situation instantly tense and ready to erupt into conflict. A flash of green light appeared in the hands of the natural archers, and giant longbows materialized. With a powerful pull, the bows were drawn back, and a green, arrow-like beam formed between the bowstring and their hands, a powerful aura pressing down on Pris, whom they had locked onto. Although Pris wore divine armor, Yan Xuan had no confidence that it could withstand so many elven arrows. "Pris, come back!" Yan Xuan shouted. Pris hurriedly turned and returned to Hexagram's side. Yan Xuan, while accelerating the circulation of Nine Yang Energy, his crimson aura growing even brighter, said sarcastically, "Pris, how could you do this?" "Huh?" Pris was startled and asked, "Master? What did I do?" "What did you do? You don't hit someone in the face, look at the mess you made..." Yan Xuan clicked his tongue. *Whoosh... * One of the natural archers, unable to contain his anger, released the bowstring, and the elven arrow shot towards Yan Xuan with a blur. Yan Xuan felt as if all directions around him were locked by an invisible aura before this arrow, and he was secretly astonished. In this situation, not only was dodging impossible, but even if he could dodge, it would greatly diminish his power. Yan Xuan roared, and a crimson aura surged from his body! "Come on!" Yan Xuan stretched out his arm, and Nine Yang Energy shot out from his palm, forming a giant red hand that grabbed at the arrow. *Crack crack crack crack…* The hand condensed from Nine Yang Energy caught the Elf Divine Arrow perfectly, with a series of crisp cracking sounds. The hand dimmed considerably, and the Elf Divine Arrow completely disappeared. Goodness… these guys really have some skill! Yan Xuan's arm went numb. He no longer dared to underestimate those natural archers. Although his face remained playful, he knew in his heart that if four or five arrows were shot at him simultaneously, his chances of survival would be slim. A sound rang out. The archers simultaneously aimed their arrows at Yan Xuan, though they were inwardly amazed by his strength. However, being from the temple made them extraordinary. Despite their inner turmoil, they showed no outward sign. Yan Xuan inwardly cursed, "Damn it, no wonder Shadow Dance repeatedly warned me to stay away from these guys and not to provoke them. Their strength is too great!" Just then! The members of the extermination team changed their expressions and all looked eastward. In that instant, they clearly sensed a fluctuation in the energy net they had set up. This energy net was specifically designed for night elves, meaning that night elves had just appeared. Compared to Yan Xuan, the night elves were the most important. Their target was the night elves. Therefore, although they were extremely angry with Yan Xuan, they had no time to waste here. They already knew this place; they could wipe out the entire night elf race before coming here to cause trouble for this elf. After a member of the elf group whispered something to Li Jie, she nodded, glared at Yan Xuan, and then disappeared into the night. They came and went in a flash; in no time, the members of the extermination team had vanished. "Damn it, Pulis! You're so disloyal! You stole my chance to shine!" Liu Mang punched Pulis hard, saying angrily. "Master sent me..." Pulis said with a bitter face. "Big guy, you've gotten smarter. Now you push everything onto Master. You know I'm afraid of Master, don't you!" Liu Mang said with a laugh. Pulis scratched his head and chuckled foolishly. Yan Xuan said in a low voice, "Liu Mang, hurry up and disperse those people." Liu Mang quickly stopped joking and turned to walk towards the remaining gang members. The gang members were buzzing with discussion. Hexagram's impressive display had forced them to reassess him, especially Yan Xuan, the powerful Mountain Cutter, whose god-like aura had deeply impressed them. Think about it. Their former leader, Youhun, and Elder Pike hadn't shown up lately for some reason. Pike was somewhat more reliable, occasionally appearing, but Youhun seemed to have vanished without a trace. In this leaderless situation, Hexagram's performance had stirred the gang members' minds. "Looks like this new leader isn't bad..." "Yeah, yeah, but who said this leader was useless, only good at manipulating the Mountain Cutter behind him? Look how brave he was just now!" "It was Elder Pike who spread the word. Luckily we didn't provoke him before. Judging from his ferocity just now, he must be very strong." "It's a pity that Pulis made a move, otherwise we could have seen just how strong the new leader really is!" "..." "..." Such discussions were endless. Yanxuan and the others were naturally unaware of this; the effect of their actions was an unexpected bonus. "You may all disperse," Liu Mang said loudly as he approached the gang members. "Yes, leader," one member bowed, and the others followed suit, filing out of the garden in single file.

Liu Mang turned to Yan Xuan with a smug look and said, "Master, it seems these guys were just stunned by me."

Yan Xuan laughed, "Already feeling smug? Let's see when you can keep them in check forever."

Liu Mang scratched his head and laughed, "Of course, whose disciple am I? Of course I'm right."

Yan Xuan chuckled and scolded, "You little brat, besides flattery, can't you do anything else?" Suddenly, Yan Xuan remembered Liu Mang's strange behavior just now. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Liu Mang, let's go into the room."

Yan Xuan, Liu Mang, and Pulis entered the room one after the other. Liu Mang closed the door tightly and asked suspiciously, "Master, what's wrong?"

Yan Xuan didn't answer; Zhang said, "Old lecher, ask Liu Mang what's causing this strange behavior on his body. Could it be harming him?"

Da Nian Zhang said, "I need to ask him how he feels first. I can't say for sure right now."

Yan Xuan nodded, handed the Chastity Ring to Liu Mang, and said, "Liu Mang, if that old bastard asks you anything, answer truthfully, understand?"

Liu Mang nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, Master!"

Liu Mang took the Chastity Ring, walked to a chair, sat down, and began communicating with Da Nian Zhang.

Although Yan Xuan was worried about Liu Mang, he could only wait for Da Nian Zhang's conclusion. Seeing Liu Mang's cheerful expression, he figured nothing bad had happened and felt slightly relieved.

After hesitating for a moment, Yan Xuan gave some instructions to Pulis and turned to leave the room.

He wondered what the wandering soul was doing in the secret chamber; probably cursing him.

Yan Xuan chuckled as he imagined the wandering soul squatting in a corner of the secret room, angrily cursing, while quickly walking towards the wandering soul's dwelling.

Chapter 268: Extremely Destructive Power

. Upon arriving near the wandering soul's dwelling,

Yan Xuan carefully surveyed his surroundings, making sure no one would discover him. He then slipped into the room with practiced ease, opened the door to the secret passage, and entered the long corridor.

When Yan Xuan used his Nine Yang energy to open the door again, he caught a glimpse of the wandering soul squatting in a corner, quickly sitting back down after hearing the noise.

Yan Xuan was filled with curiosity, but when his eyes fell upon the wandering soul's face, he was immediately struck by its beauty.

Due to the delicate balance formed between the necromantic magic and battle qi energy within the wandering soul's body, her body was recovering at an astonishing speed.

In a short time, although her appearance hadn't fully recovered, the muscles on half of her face that had atrophied were already normal, only her skin was still somewhat dark.

Although her appearance was still somewhat unattractive, it was far better than when Yan Xuan left, which explained Yan Xuan's amazement.

Yan Xuan's entry made You Hun's expression rather unnatural.

Yan Xuan smiled slightly, glancing at the spot where You Hun had been squatting. It was a small puddle, with very little water, but it was very clear, perfectly usable as a mirror. Thinking back to You

Hun's gesture of brushing her hair back, Yan Xuan was secretly pleased. It seemed You Hun cared a lot about her appearance, and would probably be overjoyed to see her restored.

Not bad! Not bad!

As long as she was happy, he had to accept her favor…

“Beautiful lady, have you eaten?” Yan Xuan smiled and walked over.

You Hun glanced at Yan Xuan, remaining silent.

Yan Xuan chuckled, unconcerned, and scanned the secret room. He noticed a neat pile of clean chicken bones on the floor. She seemed truly starving, having devoured the chicken so cleanly.

"Looks like that roast chicken was to your liking. Want me to get you a few more later?" Yan Xuan said with a wicked grin.

The wandering soul blushed, glaring at Yan Xuan, and angrily said, "Let me out!"

Yan Xuan shook his head and sighed, "Alas… why doesn't someone understand my intentions? I wanted to help her, but she always sees it as harming her. It's so hard to be a good person!"

Then, Yan Xuan added, "Don't rush. Wait until I've completely healed you. Once your appearance is restored, I'll naturally let you out. Such a beautiful woman, it would be a real waste to keep her locked up in this place!"

As he spoke, Yan Xuan's expression was incredibly sincere.

The wandering soul stared at Yan Xuan in astonishment for a long time. Doubts clouded her mind again during her time alone in the secret chamber. She thought everything through carefully again, but she still couldn't understand why Yanxuan was treating her this way. The only thing she could think of was that this guy definitely didn't have good intentions.

In the end, he was probably still after that map…

Yanxuan looked at the suspicious look in Youhun's eyes and said, “You seem to distrust me.”

“You would have such good intentions? Let me tell you, even if you heal me, don't expect to get anything from me!” Youhun said coldly.

“Who said I wanted anything from you? I said it last time. What do you have that I would want? If I did, wouldn't it be easier to just steal it? Why would I go to such lengths to heal you?” Yanxuan said with a sneer.

Youhun snorted coldly. Staring at Yanxuan, the meaning was clear: “Whoever has a scheme knows it themselves!”

Yanxuan couldn't help but smile bitterly. Damn it, picking up girls is really a thankless task!

That old lecher is too damn cunning; virgin blood it is. "Why insist on 'willingness'? Isn't this just asking for trouble?"

Yan Xuan sighed inwardly, thinking, "Whatever! I'll heal her first, then ask that old lecher for some tips on picking up girls. I don't believe this wandering soul's heart is made of iron!

" "What are you doing! Don't come any closer!"

The wandering soul instinctively panicked when she saw Yan Xuan slowly approaching. She shouted loudly.

Yan Xuan sneered, "What are you pretending for! Don't you know what I'm going to do?"

The wandering soul also came to her senses, knowing that Yan Xuan would treat her again like he had the previous two days. Speaking of which, this handsome elf was truly amazing; he could actually regulate the two completely incompatible energies within her body and achieve a delicate balance so quickly. Thinking about how she would soon regain her former beautiful appearance, the wandering soul couldn't help but feel a glimmer of anticipation for Yan Xuan's treatment.

However, when she thought about Yan Xuan's treatment method, she subconsciously wrapped her black robe, which Yan Xuan had already torn, tighter around herself, her face turning red. Out of feminine shyness, she still glared fiercely at Yan Xuan, her face full of defensiveness.

Having never had any experience with women, her understanding of them was limited to the idea of rape. This made Yan Xuan, in his first attempt to woo a woman, increasingly impatient with You Hun's completely uncooperative attitude.

Yan Xuan frowned, coldly scrutinizing You Hun, ignoring her wary gaze, and walked over to her. He reached out and lifted her up.

There were leftover strips of cloth in the secret room; binding You Hun would have been easy. However, Yan Xuan was very annoyed with You Hun and determined to punish her. He grabbed her already tattered black robe and ripped it forcefully.

*Rip...*

The black robe, already missing a strip of cloth at the back, was torn off by Yan Xuan.

Now, the black robe was completely backless, hanging like an apron in front of You Hun. If it weren't for the arms still being tucked into the sleeves, the robe would probably have already left the wandering soul's body.

"You bastard, what are you doing!" Realizing her back was completely exposed to Yan Xuan's gaze, You Hun struggled violently, shouting angrily, feeling ashamed.

Looking at the fair skin and shapely curves of You Hun's back, and the ripples of her firm buttocks as she struggled, Yan Xuan couldn't help but have a fleeting, lewd thought…

"What are you shouting for? If a woman misbehaves, she'll get a spanking, you know." A wicked smile played on Yan Xuan's lips.

"Let me go! You bastard! I don't want you to spank me!" You Hun's reason was completely clouded by shame; she didn't hear Yan Xuan's words at all, continuing to shout and struggle.

*Smack!*

With a crisp sound, Yan Xuan's large hand made intimate contact with You Hun's buttocks. After the spanking, Yan Xuan's hand didn't leave, but simply remained pressed against You Hun's buttocks, even through a pair of underpants. The alluring softness could still be clearly felt in his palm.

The wandering soul's body jolted violently, and her screams abruptly ceased. This bastard… this bastard actually hit her…

Yan Xuan gently moved his hand that was stroking the wandering soul's buttocks, and said softly, "Being obedient now? If you scream again, I'll give you two more slaps."

Teasing Yan Xuan like this, the wandering soul felt a surge of sorrow. Although she desperately wanted to break free from Yan Xuan's control, after that slap, she dared not struggle anymore, fearing that this bastard would use even more shameless methods on her.

Seeing the wandering soul obediently stop struggling, Yan Xuan couldn't help but feel a little smug. Women… indeed need to be disciplined…

Before he could finish gloating, he felt the wandering soul's body tremble slightly. She began to sob softly.

This startled Yan Xuan. He was usually most afraid of Ying Wu's tears, but he hadn't expected that these tears on the wandering soul would still be so lethal.

"Hey, beautiful, I'm just kidding! Please stop crying, okay?" Yan Xuan said helplessly.

Who knew this woman was so difficult to reason with? If Yan Xuan hadn't spoken, things would have been better; his words only made You Hun cry even harder.

Looking at the woman crying like a torrential downpour, Yan Xuan couldn't reconcile this woman with the fierce, cold, and rather twisted "dead-faced" person she used to be…

"Start the treatment, I won't joke with you anymore, okay?" Yan Xuan said with a mournful face.

"Please, can I say sorry?"

"…"

"…"

After Yan Xuan tried to persuade her for a long time, You Hun still wouldn't stop crying, as if this crying was going to release all the grievances she had suppressed for years.

Hearing You Hun's crying, Yan Xuan couldn't help but feel irritated and shouted angrily, "If you cry again, I'll spank you!"

The

crying immediately stopped, much more effective than any attempt at consolation.

Yan Xuan found it amusing. He chuckled, finding the woman rather adorable. "Heh... looks like things won't be too boring from now on."

Yan Xuan didn't say anything more, afraid of triggering another flood of tears. Following his usual method, he bound the wandering soul tightly with strips of cloth. When he reached her mouth, the wandering soul clenched her teeth tightly, refusing to open her mouth and allowing Yan Xuan to bind her with the smelly cloth.

Chapter 269 Exchanging Feelings

. Yan Xuan didn't make things difficult for her. He tossed the cloth aside and laughed, "You should know it will hurt a lot at first. Don't scream, okay? If you annoy me, I'll spank you, and... if you distract me, all my efforts will be wasted. You'll become even uglier and more terrifying than before!"

The wandering soul groaned but remained silent.

Yan Xuan chuckled and began the treatment. As the Nine Yang Energy entered the wandering soul's body... The excruciating pain caused the wandering soul's body to tense abruptly. After a groan, she gritted her teeth and fell silent.

Yan Xuan couldn't help but secretly admire her; this was far better than the girls in his previous life who would scream and yell even at injections…

Because the energy within the wandering soul's body had now reached a balance, the pain lasted much shorter than before. Once the most painful phase was over, the wandering soul, who had been enduring the intense pain, immediately relaxed completely. Exhausted, she fell asleep in a comfortable state.

The red halo of Nine Yang Energy flashed on Yan Xuan's palm. After several treatments, Yan Xuan was even more adept this time.

It didn't take long for Yan Xuan to complete one round of treatment. Although a fine sweat beaded on his forehead, this time it was much easier than the first time.

During the treatment, he had focused entirely on sensing the energy within the wandering soul's body and hadn't thought of anything else.

Now that the treatment was complete, Yan Xuan wiped away his sweat and looked at the wandering soul again. He couldn't help but feel a stirring in his heart...

Because the black robe was completely torn, Youhun's back was utterly exposed to Yanxuan's eyes, revealing her perfectly proportioned body—rounded yet not too plump, neither too thin nor too plump—and the curves of her slender waist and hips... What Yanxuan found most alluring was that, during treatment, Youhun had endured excruciating pain yet persevered, causing her body to be drenched in sweat.

The sweat soaked through her thin, white undergarments in several places, the damp patches clinging to her skin, clearly visible, especially the faint black glimpse beneath the deep cleft of her buttocks.

Yanxuan let out a long sigh, his breathing becoming rapid. If he hadn't constantly reminded himself not to force himself on this woman, given his past temper, he probably would have already flipped Youhun over and mounted her, forcing himself on her. But

alas, in this situation... The sight of the wandering soul was so breathtaking that Yan Xuan almost lost control.

To distract himself and quell his lust, Yan Xuan had an idea. He reached under the wandering soul and, with a forceful pull, flipped her over, intending to use her still-unrestored appearance to stimulate him and cool his desire.

However, as his hands reached down, they grasped two soft mounds of flesh. Though not as large as Lin Jiayi's, the delicate feel of them was even more alluring to Yan Xuan.

Unable to control himself, Yan Xuan squeezed them firmly a few times.

The softness, combined with the sensual sight before him, instantly ignited his lust. To avoid any real harm, he quickly closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and rapidly flipped the wandering soul's body back over.

He had originally intended to use her appearance to stimulate his desire. But who knew that during this treatment, the wandering soul's appearance had largely recovered, her once dark face... Only a solitary shadow and a few black spots of toxin accumulation remained.

In the dim light of the secret chamber, these minor flaws did nothing to diminish the beauty of the wandering soul.

Yan Xuan's heart stirred. He leaned down, panting, and pursed his lips, preparing to kiss her…

Before Yan Xuan could even kiss the wandering soul, she opened her eyes, staring at him in terror: "You… what are you going to do…"

In fact, the wandering soul had already woken up when Yan Xuan finished treating her. She just hadn't opened her eyes, still feigning sleep, hoping to wait until Yan Xuan left.

When Yan Xuan's hand touched her breasts, the wandering soul almost screamed, but the situation was too shameful; if she had opened her eyes, she wouldn't know what to do.

Helpless, the wandering soul silently cursed this lecherous fiend in her heart, hoping he would leave quickly.

Unexpectedly, this guy not only didn't leave, but became even more aggressive, attempting to verbally abuse her. She could no longer maintain the facade. She quickly opened her eyes and shouted angrily.

Caught red-handed. Even though Yan Xuan was incredibly thick-skinned, his face flushed slightly. He chuckled awkwardly and said, "There's a strange smell. Let me find the source..."

Then, he sniffed twice and pointed to You Hun's collar, saying, "Finally found it! Haven't you showered in days?"

You Hun blushed deeply, cursing this lecherous man for trying to do something wrong and then turning the tables on her. She angrily retorted, "Then let me leave! I'm going to take a shower! You bastard!"

"Hmm...not a bad suggestion," Yan Xuan said, straightening up. You

Hun's eyes lit up. Could this guy really let her out?

"However, beautiful lady, you're quite weak right now! How can you handle such strenuous work as showering? How about I help you? Come on, let's go out together. I'll help you shower," Yan Xuan said with a wicked grin.

The wandering soul glared at Yan Xuan and shouted fiercely, "If you touch me again, I'll die in front of you!"

Yan Xuan clicked his tongue and said, "Don't always use death to scare people. What does your life or death have to do with others? Using your own life and death to scare others is the most cowardly thing to do."

"Bastard. I'd rather die than be defiled by you!" The wandering soul now had another suspicion. She felt that Yan Xuan's treatment of her was probably because he wanted to cure her and then covet her beauty.

"Why say such harsh things? Defile? Sigh... How could you have such a filthy thought? The relationship between men and women is noble and pure... If I really had any feelings for you, I would never force you, but would wholeheartedly win your heart and make you willing."

When Yan Xuan said this, his expression was serious. His face didn't turn red at all, which made the wandering soul spit lightly, but he remained calm, as if he were making some solemn declaration.

"Then just give up! I hate you so much!" Youhun said coldly.

Yanxuan chuckled and said, "Everything takes time. You might hate me now, but you might like me later!"

His constant teasing made Youhun feel ashamed to the bone. She couldn't understand how such a shameless person could exist in this world.

People say that the Great Elves are a polite race, so how could such a scoundrel appear?

"If you don't let me go, then get lost! I don't want to see you again!" Youhun said angrily.

Yanxuan not only didn't leave, but also shamelessly sat down next to Youhun and laughed, "Let's get to know each other first, chat, getting to know each other is the beginning of love!"

Youhun suddenly felt like vomiting. Looking at this guy whose skin was as thick as the walls of Yharnam, she wanted to bite his throat right away.

Then, she snorted coldly, turned her head away, and didn't even look at Yanxuan.

Yan Xuan didn't care at all. He had known from his previous life that picking up girls required patience. Previously, he had only used force to possess women's bodies. This time, because of his bet with Da Nian Zhang, he had to be patient with You Hun.

As their contact deepened, Yan Xuan discovered this woman's charm. Sometimes, stark contrasts highlight personality. Yan Xuan had long been used to You Hun's "deadpan face" and cold, gloomy demeanor, but now, seeing the cute, girlish side of her

, he was actually enjoying it…

Yan Xuan sat beside You Hun and began telling stories. In his previous world, Yan Xuan's storytelling skills would probably have been laughable. But in this world, stories that only children would find interesting in his previous life seemed quite novel.

Even more shameful was that sometimes he couldn't remember the original story and would just make things up. Since You Hun couldn't understand, he simply rambled on and on.

First came "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," then "The Farmer and the Snake," "Mr. Dongguo and the Wolf"...

Unfortunately, that was all the one he could remember.

He talked for a long time, spittle flying everywhere, his throat dry. But the wandering soul showed no reaction whatsoever. Its eyes were closed, as quiet as if it were asleep.

Yanxuan chuckled self-deprecatingly, thinking to himself, "If I'd known this would happen, I should have read more fairy tales in my past life."

He wanted to ramble on a bit more, but his brain was completely depleted. Thinking hard, besides the dirty jokes he'd heard from his colleagues in his past life, he really had nothing else to say.

Hesitating for a moment, Yanxuan changed the subject, saying, "By the way, what was that picture I saw you looking at so intently last time?"
