126: Chapter 126 What shampoo do you use?

Ten minutes later.

On the edge of the ruins.

Xia Bingli was preparing to leave this bloody place.

But her D-rank Perception Sharpening suddenly triggered a strong alarm.

Someone... has come.

And... they are very strong!

Xia Bingli instantly entered a combat state, her figure flashing and disappearing into the shadows.

The next second.

A figure appeared at the entrance of the ruins.

Lin Yuan looked leisurely, as if he were strolling through his own backyard.

His gaze locked directly onto Xia Bingli in the shadows.

Xia Bingli stepped out of the shadows, looking at Lin Yuan coldly.

Her eyes were like those looking at prey.

A single person?

Xia Bingli frowned slightly.

"Following me?"

Her voice was very soft, but carried a hint of killing intent.

Lin Yuan smiled, his tone relaxed:

"Following? No, no, no."

"I am just... passing by."

His gaze swept over Xia Bingli without any concealment.

From her silver short hair, to her exquisite face, and then to her perfect figure.

That appreciative gaze was naked.

Xia Bingli's eyes turned cold.

She hated this kind of look the most.

The men who died under her blade had looked at her the same way before they died.

"Have you seen enough?"

She sneered:

"If you've seen enough, then get lost."

"Otherwise..."

She drew her dagger, the blade glinting with cold light in the sunlight:

"You will end up like that trash, becoming a corpse."

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow, the smile on his face deepening.

"Such a beautiful woman is very dangerous alone in the Apocalypse."

His tone was very relaxed, as if he were concerned about a friend:

"Would you like to consider joining my faction?"

"Food and housing provided, and supplies too. How about it, are you tempted?"

Xia Bingli scoffed:

"No need for you to worry about that. Get lost."

Lin Yuan looked at Xia Bingli, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes:

"You have personality."

"I like it."

"However..."

His gaze became playful:

"Are you sure you want to refuse?"

Xia Bingli did not reply.

The next second.

She moved!

B-rank Shadow Assassin Superpower fully activated!

Her figure instantly disappeared from where she stood, turning into a black shadow, striking straight at Lin Yuan's throat!

The speed was extreme!

The angle was tricky and weird!

This strike was a killer's finishing move!

Lin Yuan still stood in place, not moving at all.

The same indifferent smile remained on his face.

As if he hadn't felt any danger at all.

Until the dagger was about to pierce his throat.

He moved.

He just tilted his body slightly.

The dagger brushed past his neck, slashing into the air.

Xia Bingli missed her strike and immediately changed her move, the dagger turning into dozens of afterimages, attacking Lin Yuan from various tricky angles.

Fast! Accurate! Ruthless!

Every strike was lethal!

But Lin Yuan... easily neutralized all attacks.

His figure wandered through the ruins, seemingly casual, yet he could always perfectly dodge Xia Bingli's attacks at just the right moment.

Even... he had the leisure to tease:

"Such a beautiful assassin, yet her killing intent is so heavy."

"It's a pity."

Xia Bingli was burning with rage.

Since she started her career, she had never encountered such an opponent.

He was just dodging, yet she was completely unable to land a hit!

She increased her speed, raising the teleportation frequency of Shadow Assassin to its limit!

Attacking dozens of times in a second!

But Lin Yuan... was still handling it with ease.

He could even continue teasing while dodging:

"You are strong, but not strong enough."

"Do you want me to teach you?"

Xia Bingli gritted her teeth:

"Shut up!"

She used her full strength, and her D-rank Agility Enhancement was also pushed to the maximum.

Her whole person turned into a silver lightning bolt, attacking crazily!

But Lin Yuan... smiled.

He tumbled and leaped through the ruins, his movements as elegant as a dance.

Every dodge was perfect.

Every movement seemed like he was playing with Xia Bingli.

Then... he started even more excessive flirting.

"Your figure is really good."

He looked at the perfect curves Xia Bingli displayed during the battle, praising her without concealment:

"You look beautiful when you fight."

Xia Bingli's face turned livid.

This bastard... actually flirting with her during a fight?!

She increased her attack speed, but Lin Yuan still dodged easily.

Even... he could continue saying:

"This is the first time I've seen silver hair like this."

His voice carried a hint of a smile:

"I really want to touch it. By the way, what kind of shampoo do you use? Pantene or Head & Shoulders?"

Xia Bingli was completely enraged.

"Shut up!"

"You bastard!"

Lin Yuan smiled, continuing to tease:

"Angry?"

"But you are also beautiful when you are angry."

"Especially your eyes, those ice-blue pupils, they are truly rare."

Xia Bingli gritted her teeth, her attacks becoming even more frantic.

But Lin Yuan was still handling it easily, continuing to say:

"Right, this figure of yours..."

His gaze swept over Xia Bingli:

"Golden ratio, right?!"

Xia Bingli's face turned livid.

This bastard... he actually figured out her measurements?!

"You are courting death!"

She used the strongest attack of Shadow Assassin.

Shadow Kill: Blade of the End!

Dozens of black shadow blades attacked Lin Yuan simultaneously from all directions!

This was her ultimate move, no one had ever been able to dodge it!

But Lin Yuan... was still smiling.

Lin Yuan looked at Xia Bingli and laughed:

"You look beautiful when you are angry."

"I like you more and more."

Xia Bingli panted heavily, her eyes full of anger and unwillingness.

She had given her all, yet she couldn't even touch the corner of his clothes!

How strong... exactly was this man?!

Xia Bingli took a deep breath and launched another attack.

She didn't believe it!

She had dominated the assassin world for ten years, how could she not even touch the corner of his clothes!

Just as Xia Bingli was thinking about how to assassinate Lin Yuan.

A flash of golden light flickered in the depths of Lin Yuan's pupils.

A-rank Mind Control, instantly activated!

Invisible Spiritual Power surged toward Xia Bingli like a tide!

Before Xia Bingli could react, she felt a wave of dizziness in her brain.

Then... her body suddenly stopped all movement.

As if time had frozen.

She maintained her attack posture, her dagger raised in mid-air.

But... she couldn't move.

Not even a single bit!

She couldn't even blink!

"What... what's going on?!"

Xia Bingli was terrified inside.

She could clearly feel everything around her, could hear the wind, could see Lin Yuan's smile.

But her body... was completely out of control!

It was as if every cell had been tightly pressed down by an invisible giant hand!

Spiritual Power!

It was Spiritual Power!

Xia Bingli realized instantly.

This man had used Spiritual Power to control her body!

For the first time, Xia Bingli felt true fear.

She had dominated the assassin world for ten years and had seen countless Ability Users.

But never... never had she encountered an Ability User of this level in the mental category!

This man... what kind of monster was he?!

Lin Yuan walked slowly toward Xia Bingli.

Xia Bingli's body remained in the attack posture, motionless.

Just like an exquisite sculpture.

The only thing that could move was her eyes.

Those ice-blue pupils were now filled with shock, fear, and unwillingness.

Lin Yuan walked up to her and looked down at her.

That look... was like looking at prey.

Lin Yuan moved closer.

He reached out and gently stroked Xia Bingli's cheek:

Xia Bingli's eyes were full of fear.

She wanted to speak, but she couldn't even move her mouth.

She could only use her eyes to express the anger and humiliation in her heart.

His voice was very soft, but every word clearly reached Xia Bingli's ears:

"It's time to talk about business."

Xia Bingli's eyes were full of unwillingness and anger.

But more so... fear.

She wanted to grit her teeth, but she couldn't even do that.

Her body was completely imprisoned by Spiritual Power.

Lin Yuan reached out and gently pinched her chin.

Xia Bingli's head was forced up, meeting Lin Yuan's eyes.

Observing this peerless face at close range.

Silver hair like a waterfall, shimmering with a faint silver light in the sunlight.

Phoenix eyes filled with anger, ice-blue pupils carrying unwillingness and fear.

Skin like snow, slightly flushed under the pressure of the Spiritual Power.

Perfect figure, the curves under the tight combat suit... lived up to their reputation!

The corners of Lin Yuan's mouth curled into a smile.

Xia Bingli's eyes were full of killing intent.

She wanted to roar, wanted to curse.

But she couldn't speak.

She could only express the anger in her heart with her eyes.

Lin Yuan laughed.

He laughed very gently.

But in Xia Bingli's eyes, it was more terrifying than a devil.

He suddenly leaned close to Xia Bingli's ear and whispered:

"I have... an idea, would you like to hear it?"

Xia Bingli's pupils contracted sharply.

She suddenly realized... what this man wanted to do.

She wanted to resist, wanted to escape.

But her body remained motionless.

Just like a sculpture.

Lin Yuan released part of the Mind Control, allowing her to move her body.

But the next second, he scooped Xia Bingli up horizontally.

And walked toward the depths of the ruins.

Xia Bingli struggled in his arms, cursing angrily:

"Let me go!"

"You bastard!"

"I'm going to kill you!"

But Lin Yuan just smiled indifferently:

"Wait until you get stronger before saying that."

"You right now..."

He looked down at Xia Bingli and said calmly:

"Can only become my spoils of war."

Xia Bingli gritted her teeth.

But in the face of an absolute gap in strength... all resistance was futile.

Lin Yuan brought Xia Bingli to a hidden room deep in the ruins.

This place used to be a conference room for some company.

Lin Yuan put Xia Bingli down, looking at her stubborn eyes.

"Do you know?"

His voice was very soft:

"I have seen many women."

"But a beauty like you, it really is the first time."

Xia Bingli looked at him coldly:

"So what?"

"What do you want?"

Lin Yuan laughed:

"I want..."

He leaned close to Xia Bingli's ear:

"To possess you."

Xia Bingli's pupils shrank.

She finally understood... what this man really wanted to do.
