201: Chapter 201 Bewitching Array

"Linglong... why are you here..."

Xing Yaoyan was stunned where she stood, completely unable to associate the familiar face of the young girl before her with the white robe exclusive to a Star Cult Apostle.

Actually, this white robe was somewhat different from the ones she had seen before in "Peach Blossom Spring"; its front hem was shorter, revealing the cat girl's energetic legs, making it seem like she wasn't just an ordinary figure in the Star Cult.

That made sense... given her talent and her connection as royalty of the Yao Race, she shouldn't be like those rabble in the Star Cult...

"Why am I here?"

The little cat girl tilted her head, putting on a puzzled look. This action, which Xing Yaoyan had previously found adorable, now seemed so eerie and cold.

"Sister Xing Yan... in the past, in order to make you like me, I went to great lengths and worked hard every day to improve myself, changing myself in the direction you liked..."

"But... why!"

She suddenly bared her teeth at Xing Yaoyan.

"I worked so hard, yet you still refuse to truly accept me! You liar, you clearly said you wouldn't like men, so even if you wouldn't truly accept me, I was never in a hurry... but... but you actually liked a human you've only met a few times!"

"I don't believe it. I don't believe that the Sister Yan who was so strong and confident in my heart would one day act coquettishly in a man's arms. I don't believe it!"

Her emotions reached an extreme point; her eyes were red, and her pupils narrowed into long, thin slits, looking just like an angry kitten abandoned by its owner.

"Um... Linglong... listen to my explanation..."

Xing Yaoyan reached out both hands in a calming gesture. Her current thought was simple: she had to quickly soothe the little cat girl's emotions and seize the time to understand the current situation.

She could feel that the Ying Linglong before her was very off.

The little cat girl actually had the aura of the fourth rank now. Although she was still an existence Xing Yaoyan could easily suppress, she couldn't bring herself to do it.

"Qian Mo and I are just friends... I went to look after Qian Mo back then because he helped me a lot, and I went specifically to thank him... I'll be blunt, before I came to the Kingdom of Myriad Demons, he saved my life, and I had to repay him..."

"Heh... just friends... then how do you explain what happened a few days ago..."

Ying Linglong interrupted Xing Yaoyan, a heartbroken expression appearing on her face.

"Why are you still lying to me even now!"

What happened a few days ago...

Xing Yaoyan was stunned for a moment, and the scene of herself and Qian Mo back then instantly flashed through her mind...

"You're blushing! You're blushing!"

Like a cat finally catching the red dot from a laser pointer, Ying Linglong jumped up on the spot. Her voice was high-pitched and desolate, like a stray cat whose last hope had been ruthlessly extinguished; she looked somewhat crazed.

"I..."

Xing Yaoyan immediately realized her loss of composure. Her brain worked rapidly, but she found that she was completely unable to justify herself...

There was no other way...

Xing Yaoyan bit her teeth, and the Power Of Will inside her body began to circulate slowly. She hoped to use her raw strength to knock this disobedient kitten unconscious first and take her back, then explain to her later.

Suddenly, as the Star Swallowing Art circulated, she actually discovered that layer upon layer of hard-to-detect spiritual energy mist seemed to permeate the surroundings. More importantly, the Demonic Power aura camouflaging the little cat girl was essentially another kind of unfamiliar spiritual energy!

Doesn't that mean...

Xing Yaoyan's entire body began to tremble slightly, and a massive surge of anger rushed to her brain.

"They say care leads to chaos... fine, fine... I almost fell for your trick..."

She suddenly clenched her right fist and swung it violently to her side.

*Crack~ Crack~*

In the next moment, cracks appeared out of thin air where her fist hit, and they quickly spread in all directions.

Finally—

*Bang!*

The world around her completely shattered.

The irritable little cat girl before her eyes slowly vanished, as if everything just now had been nothing but an illusion.

*Clap, clap, clap~*

Applause came from the other side.

"As expected of the Young Miss Star Beast that 'Heaven' is extremely focused on. You really have some skill to be able to break my 'Heart-Confusing Array' so quickly..."

A highly seductive female voice echoed in the space.

Xing Yaoyan slowly turned her head and saw that at some point, a table had appeared in the center of the room, and a curvaceous purple-haired mature woman was sitting on a chair.

She was wearing a modified version of the Star Cult white robe. The fabric was pitifully sparse, and with the gold pattern embellishments, she looked like a church nun captured by goblins, about to produce a defeat CG.

"You bitch..."

That purple-haired mature woman seemed to have completely unexpected that the first thing Xing Yan would say to her in a real sense would be such a blunt... curse word.

"Bitch? You actually cursed at me... you..."

Just as she was about to strike back, she seemed to be subjected to some unknown restraint, and the words she was about to say were forced back down.

"Forget it... I won't lower myself to the level of a crude Star Beast like you..."

She turned her head away somewhat petulantly, as if getting angry at some unknown existence.

"Bitch."

But Xing Yaoyan remained relentless. From the moment she heard the threatening voice until now, she hadn't felt any malice, and even under such blunt humiliation just now, she still didn't feel any.

This gave her a sense of certainty, knowing that no matter how strong this person whose strength she couldn't see was, they didn't dare to do anything to her. That was why she became so unscrupulous.

Furthermore, she seemed to discover that her "bitch" comment dealt true damage; despite her dressing like that, she seemed very vulnerable to that specific insult.

"Stop talking..."

"I will say it! You bitch! Bitch! Bitch!"

Xing Yaoyan cursed three times in a row, finally feeling refreshed.

The fear and worry from being inexplicably threatened, and the anger from having her emotions toyed with using her weakness just now—all that frustration was finally vented.

"How do you know I don't dare to touch you..."

The purple-haired mature woman's tone was as cold as a ten-thousand-year-old iceberg.

"Take a guess."

Even after cursing like that, she still hadn't sensed any red light of malice from her.

Therefore, Xing Yaoyan now had absolutely no respect at all, being arrogant to the extreme.

"Heh..."

The purple-haired mature woman sneered and grabbed at the air with one hand; a petite figure instantly appeared in her hand.

"Linglong!!!"

Seeing the real little cat girl having her neck gripped tightly, even though she was unconscious, the immense force made her brows furrow.

Only then did Xing Yaoyan panic.
