234: Chapter 234 Contrast

Time goes back a few minutes.

In Qian Mo's shocked gaze, Xing Yaoyan's fist had already slammed solidly into the middle-aged man in front of her.

"Boom!"

It appeared as if this punch had struck some invisible barrier, pausing for a moment in the empty space before her and creating a brief indentation. But soon, the punch broke through the obstacle.

"Star Shatter!"

The wind from the punch, wrapped in immense red Demonic Power, slammed straight into the wall, kicking up thick dust.

This was her full-power strike. If not for the high quality of the walls in this place and the specially triggered spiritual power protective shield, it wouldn't have been surprising if this punch had punched through the entire wall in front of her.

Qian Mo's black spiritual power threads hovered somewhat dumbly above Yun Sheng's body; a second ago, this was still the position where the White-haired girl had been standing...

She had actually swapped positions with Yun Sheng in an instant.

"Xiao Yan..."

This was the first time Xing Yaoyan had revealed one of her hidden trump cards in front of Qian Mo, so it was normal that he hadn't anticipated it.

"Qian Mo... your reaction is a bit slow..."

Hearing this, Qian Mo instantly probed his black spiritual power threads toward the direction the girl had just struck, quickly sensing the abrupt, unfamiliar Demonic Power within the dust.

"It's a demon..." Yun Sheng took out a pair of highly technological glasses and put them on; countless data points appeared on the glass of the lenses.

Xing Yaoyan turned her head to show the boy an expression of "I am very disappointed in you," which was both a resentment for his lack of trust in her just now and a tease regarding his lack of vigilance.

"I'm sorry... I misunderstood you..."

The boy blushed slightly. Because he had been so engrossed in listening, and because he was worried that Xing Yaoyan might attack Uncle Yun, he hadn't realized that this demon had quietly snuck behind Yun Sheng and was about to succeed...

"Saintess... why are you here..." A voice trembling with shock came from the dust.

As the dust slowly dissipated, a figure wearing a ghost mask could be seen clutching their chest, leaning against the wall, with a long, blue-green tail trembling as it tried to support them in standing up.

On the wall behind him were terrifying, huge spiderweb-like cracks, and from the gaps in the cracks, bright red blood dripped to the ground like a thin stream.

"A Fourth-Order Lizard Demon, whose Innate Talent is related to stealth. To be able to sneak in here without a sound, you actually have some skill."

Xing Yaoyan slowly walked over and crouched down, bringing her line of sight level with his, just staring at him with a smile. Her golden eyes carried a hint of sharp red light.

"It seems you prepared quite thoroughly for this assassination mission: an Advanced illusion array, three Fifth-Order, and one Fourth-Order... Oh! Wait... the Bloodline intensity of that Lion Demon outside... it seems to be a demon of the Lion Demon royal family..."

Just now, Xing Yaoyan had already been able to sense that the entire private room had been isolated by an unknown illusion array, and several massive Great Demon auras had simultaneously risen outside.

No need to guess, these must be the people coming to support the other side.

"Your Highness Saintess, you should also know, His Majesty's mission..." The Lizard Demon looked extremely panicked; through the ghost mask, Xing Yaoyan could feel the violent trembling in his eyes.

"Hmph... His Majesty never mentioned you to me... In my opinion, you must have been sent by the Lion Demon royal family... At this sensitive moment, just after the Kyoto Star Beast clearance plan has ended, using His Majesty's name to assassinate a key human protection target—what are you trying to do? It's so hard to guess..."

The red light in Xing Yaoyan's eyes grew thicker and thicker, finally turning into pure killing intent.

Want to frame someone, huh... If not for this Young Miss having Malice Perception, you might have actually succeeded...

The girl slowly placed her hand on the Lizard Demon's head, the smile on her face becoming increasingly profound...

"Miss Xing Yan, wait..." Seeing her action, Yun Sheng hurriedly spoke up, "Spare his life, he can be handed over to the Security Bureau for interrogation..."

"Snap!"

The Lizard Demon's head, along with the ghost mask on his face, exploded instantly like a watermelon. However, due to the obstruction of Demonic Power, none of this stained the perpetrator, Xing Yaoyan, with even a speck of filth.

This decisive headshot made the corner of Yun Sheng's mouth twitch.

After all, he had seen the world, so it wasn't disgusting, but Yun Sheng still had a Soul-searching question in his heart: This young girl is so fierce, Qian Mo's life in the future won't be easy...

"Uncle Yun, sorry, you said that too late..."

The girl turned her head and said with a girl's playfulness and embarrassment.

Just kidding, the other party was, after all, from the Kingdom of Myriad Demons. If anyone was going to interrogate them, it should be someone from the Kingdom of Myriad Demons; how could it be handed over to humans?

If the other party knew some important secrets, like the Saintess not being a real demon or something... that would be disadvantageous to the Kingdom of Myriad Demons...

"Xiao Yan, are you okay? Is your hand hurt?"

Qian Mo patted her shoulder, then quickly crouched down, picked up her fair, tender hand, and examined it carefully. Even though there was a headless corpse sizzling and bleeding in front of the girl, the boy didn't seem to care at all.

His hands were steady, and his eyes held only a look of concern.

Looking at his appearance, Xing Yaoyan felt a strange warmth in her heart: Back then, she had used this same move to instantly kill the Fourth-Order Yun Feng with her Three-Mark Level strength. Because of the strength gap, her hand had suffered a backlash, and she had bled incessantly.

This should be the second time she had displayed this move in front of Qian Mo. She hadn't expected that the first thing he would do after the shock was to come over and care about whether she was injured like last time...

Although she was touched, Xing Yaoyan still refused to let him off, saying with a tone of disdain: "Qian Mo... have you touched enough? Do you want this Young Miss to let you touch for a bit longer..."

"Okay."

With just this one response, Xing Yaoyan immediately lost her composure.

No... didn't this guy use to be so embarrassed he'd die if she said something like that... how is his skin so thick now...

Two cute blushes rose on Xing Yaoyan's cheeks. It's over... she seemed unable to outplay him anymore...

"Ahem..."

Just then, a light cough from Yun Sheng instantly popped the pink bubbles surrounding the two.

Xing Yaoyan immediately realized there were others here, and they were Qian Mo's elders, so she shyly wanted to pull her hand away from Qian Mo.

But soon, she discovered... she couldn't pull it away...

Even with Demonic Power... she couldn't pull it away...

After seeing the faint golden patterns on the boy's arm, she quickly realized that this guy seemed to have planned this long ago.

He must be getting revenge for the time I controlled him in front of Qian Wanyao. This bad guy, so petty...

Seeing the two of them being so lovey-dovey, Yun Sheng couldn't bear to watch. He thought to himself, this kid Qian Mo has some skill; your girlfriend just crushed the head of a Great Demon with her bare hands, and you have no fear at all, and you've managed to get her completely wrapped around your finger. Impressive, truly impressive...

"There is also Zi and the others outside; they should have been attacked too. Although I don't have any feelings for them, but..."

"Did you hear that, Qian Mo? Let me go, I need to go save people."

Hearing Yun Sheng's words, Xing Yaoyan felt as if she had found a savior and hurriedly said this, following his lead.

And Qian Mo had no choice but to let go of her hand.

She adjusted her emotions, and the blush on her face faded quite a bit.

She pushed open the door and saw the cat demon's long, slender claws about to decapitate the woman in front of her, who was wearing broken purple armor.

Xing Yaoyan sneered, the golden light in her eyes shining even brighter.

The anger from being defied by the Lion Demon royal family, combined with the embarrassment of just being outmaneuvered by the boy, left Xing Yaoyan feeling very frustrated. Therefore, she urgently needed to find a few targets to help her vent...
