161: Chapter 161 Even you, a little brat, have to eat it, so as a senior, I also have to.

The stream water was icy, washing over Nangong Ziyi's calves.

Ji Ziyue pinched her chin, forcing her to look up.

Nangong Ziyi stood in the middle of the stream, her soaked Black Robe clinging to her body, her long hair sticking to her cheeks and neck, droplets of water threatening to fall.

But the Spatial Law locked everything around them; the water droplets hung suspended in Nangong Ziyi's hair, unmoving.

Nangong Ziyi recalled herself and that scumbag Lu Chen on the deck of the flying boat half an hour ago.

Back then, she had hugged the main mast, refusing to let go, hanging onto it with her whole body, her legs wrapped around the pole, trying to make Lu Chen keep her.

She had even cried.

"I'm not leaving! What did you do to me that you want to drive me away! You will regret this! The nights will be lonely!"

Lu Chen was expressionless, his arms crossed over his chest, looking completely heartless.

Nangong Ziyi had even upped the stakes.

"Husband! Let me stay! I am willing to do anything!"

"In life I am yours! In death I am your ghost! If I still have the medicine, I will reincarnate as your little bitch!"

"I will be your concubine! I don't want any status! I can block peach blossoms for you by your side! I will deal with them for you!"

Lu Chen's brow twitched twice.

No way, it was too explosive, so he was determined.

"Fellow Daoist Ji Ziyue, take her away."

That was half an hour ago.

Now, Nangong Ziyi stood in the stream, her chin held by Ji Ziyue, the pressure lifted and the intimidation over.

But Nangong Ziyi's temper flared up.

Grievance, unwillingness, and anger surged in her chest.

She shook off Ji Ziyue's fingers and took a step back, stepping on a pebble in the water. The icy stream water splashed up, hitting her bare ankles.

"So what if I did!"

Nangong Ziyi lifted her head, her peach blossom eyes red, her chin held high, carrying the unique pride and stubbornness of someone pushed into a dead end.

"I did hide it! I stole it from my aunt's Storage Pouch with my own ability! What right do you have to snatch it!"

"the great emperor is also crazy, it's my lifeline, Nangong Ziyi's, no one is allowed to snatch it!"

Ji Ziyue's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.

The curve of her mouth remained unchanged, but the light in her eyes brightened by three parts.

She had the goods, she really had the goods. This little girl was still easily frightened; she was too young.

"Little girl, you are playing tricks on me; your level is a bit lacking."

Ji Ziyue's voice was unhurried as she took half a step forward, her skirt brushing against the water surface, splashing up fine droplets.

"Hand it over, and I will ensure your safe return to the Nangong Family."

"Girl, you just got it, you wouldn't want me to do anything to you in this wilderness, would you!"

Nangong Ziyi's peach blossom eyes shrank.

She stared at Ji Ziyue's dignified and gentle face, at the unconcealable greed and threat in those phoenix eyes.

She suddenly laughed.

"Ji Ziyue, stop pretending to be noble."

Nangong Ziyi's mouth curled upward, her peach blossom eyes full of provocation.

"In the Jiang Family's back garden, when you were whipped by my husband, you panted repeatedly, and you sounded better than a cat."

She tilted her head, her tongue slowly licking her upper lip, each word spat out lightly and slowly.

"You think no one saw? I was in the courtyard next door, seeing and hearing everything clearly."

She extended a finger and gestured in the air.

"Your mouth was crying in pain, but your body was leaning into the whip. A great Cultivator at the Pseudo-Emperor Seventh Level, and your legs went weak after just a few lashes. Tell me, aren't you born with a taste for this?"

The air stagnated for three breaths.

The stream water hung in mid-air, the droplets motionless, the wind still, even the leaves stopped moving.

Ji Ziyue's phoenix eyes widened, her pupils contracted, and a visible flush rose on her cheeks, burning from her ear roots down to her neck, spreading along her collarbone.

The most secret, the most unspeakable secret buried deep in her marrow was pierced open to her face by a Junior.

She should be angry, she should be furious, and then think, "You have already brought about your own death."

She should slap this ignorant little girl three thousand zhang into the ground.

But she didn't.

What flashed in Ji Ziyue's phoenix eyes was not anger, but a kind of ignited, crazy, and undisguised gleam.

Her breathing quickened by two beats, her chest heaved more heavily, and the collar of her purple palace dress trembled gently with her breath.

She stuck out her tongue and slowly licked her lower lip, from left to right, the pink surface of her tongue flashing in the corner of her phoenix eyes.

"Since everything is out in the open."

Ji Ziyue's voice changed, no longer as cold and composed as before, adding a layer of hoarseness and an indescribable heat.

Her phoenix eyes locked straight onto Nangong Ziyi, the curve of her mouth changing from a cold sneer to a dangerous, ambiguous upward lift.

"Then I won't pretend anymore either."

She took a step forward, less than a foot between them.

She raised her hand, her fingertips resting on Nangong Ziyi's wet shoulder, sliding two inches down along her collarbone, and stopping at the tooth marks left by Lu Chen.

Her finger pad gently pressed on that red mark.

Nangong Ziyi's body stiffened.

"Hand over the rest of the medicine." Ji Ziyue's voice was pressed against her ear, her breath hitting her earlobe, scorching hot.

"I guarantee I will send you safely back to the Nangong Family. You little brat must have eaten it, as your Senior, I want some too."

She stepped back half a step, her phoenix eyes smiling.

"After I use it, your husband will definitely be even more unable to leave you."

Nangong Ziyi's peach blossom eyes widened.

"Dream on!"

She took a step back, wrapping her arms around her chest, protecting herself, and also protecting the final trump card hidden in some secret location on her body.

"That is my lifeline! I was hoping to find another chance to use it on my husband later!"

Her voice was sharp, carrying the hysteria of having her territory violated.

"If you want to engage in Dual Cultivation with my husband, go beg him yourself! Use your own ability! Don't set your sights on my medicine!"

Ji Ziyue sighed.

That sigh was light, carrying the implication of "since you won't listen to advice, don't blame me."

Her phoenix eyes changed; they were no longer smiling or ambiguous, but turned into a pure, cold sharpness like a hunter locking onto prey.

"Since you won't cooperate."

Ji Ziyue raised her right hand, her five fingers spread open, and the Spatial Law spread from her palm.

"Then I can only search you myself."

"My Divine Sense search as a Pseudo-Emperor isn't as gentle as Emperor Yun's."

Nangong Ziyi's expression changed drastically.

She retreated violently, splashing water everywhere as she stepped. Her soaked Black Robe clung to her body, and driven by the instinct to resist, her Heavenly Yin Fire God Physique began to circulate, with crimson-gold flames seeping out from under her skin.

Xiantai Fourth Layer against Pseudo-Emperor Seventh Level; she knew she couldn't win.

But there was no retreat in her peach blossom eyes. She was from the Nangong Family, and furthermore, since Lu Chen had asked Ji Ziyue to send her home, she knew well that she wouldn't be in danger.

"If you dare touch a single finger of mine, I will spread the news of what you did in the Jiang Family's back garden throughout the entire Central Region!"

Ji Ziyue's footsteps did not stop.

"Go ahead and spread it." Her phoenix eyes curved, her mouth hooked into a smile, her pace composed.

"I don't care."

Two figures stood in confrontation in the stream.

Ten thousand miles away, Lu Chen sneezed on the flying boat.

"Which Fairy is thinking of me again, or is it one of my good disciples thinking of me?"
