35: Chapter 35 Young Master Chuan, Don't Pretend

Seeing Liu Qiyue's cheeks flush a deep red, Meng Chuan assumed she was angry that Kang Dalei had bullied her, so he spoke up to comfort her:

"Liu Qiyue, rest assured. I, Meng Chuan, will not let anyone bully you, not even a Divine Venerable."

"I believe in you, Meng Chuan." Liu Qiyue took Meng Chuan's hand and nodded heavily.

However, she didn't think so in her heart.

Kang Dalei's combat power was simply too excessive.

It was simply incomparable to their peers.

But seeing Meng Chuan's earnest expression, she couldn't bear to dampen her fiancé's confidence.

Meanwhile, back at the Void Pit, after Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue had left, Kang Dalei also took his group of lackeys and departed.

As for why a Demon King—a First-Level Demon King, no less—had appeared here, he had an answer in his mind, but none of that mattered.

He wasn't a detective, nor was he an official authority, so there was no need to think about these things, let alone investigate them.

"By the way, Little Mi, have you seen any geniuses from Xining Prefecture along the way?"

Only now did he remember the main business.

This Void Pit was actually filled with geniuses from Dongning Prefecture. Apart from Mo Chen, Ruan Mi, Xiahou La, and Old He, there were no other geniuses from Xining Prefecture, which was very suspicious.

Ruan Mi shook her head and said, "No, I was captured as soon as I came in."

Kang Dalei nodded habitually, but soon, he realized something was wrong.

"Wait, what did you say? Captured as soon as you came in? Then where are your Demon Cores?"

Seeing Ruan Mi looking guilty and not daring to meet his eyes.

Kang Dalei got anxious, grabbed her small hand, and asked with a tremor:

"You traitor, don't you dare tell me you don't have a single Demon Core."

Ruan Mi didn't speak, just kept looking left and right, avoiding his gaze.

Alright, Kang Dalei could now confirm that this traitor was lying to him.

"Beat her for me."

Kang Dalei ordered his lackeys to give Ruan Mi a sound beating.

Seeing that Kang Dalei was serious, Ruan Mi immediately shouted:

"Kang Dalei, are you going to pull up your pants and refuse to acknowledge me again?"

"Wait." Kang Dalei stopped everyone from attacking, walked up to Ruan Mi, looked down at her, and said:

"Pulling up my pants and refusing to acknowledge you? I should be the one saying you're not behaving like a proper woman."

"Bullshit," Ruan Mi said angrily.

"This young lady was brand new from top to bottom before I slept with you."

"I don't know about that," Kang Dalei said, clearly starting to play dumb.

"Just because you say it's true doesn't make it true. Empty words hold no weight. You need... proof~"

Before the word "proof" had even left his mouth, he saw Ruan Mi pull out a piece of blood-stained cloth from who knows where.

"Kang Dalei, you piece of trash. I've been guarding against this trick of yours. You sleep with me and then refuse to own up to it? You're not a man at all."

"What did you say?" Kang Dalei glared with his bull-like eyes in anger.

Ruan Mi didn't flinch at all, pushing his face away with her head, and with her nose pressed against his, she let out a cold huff.

"Everyone knows you're greedy, lecherous, a coward, and shameless."

"Mwah~"

Kang Dalei planted a kiss directly on Ruan Mi's fragrant lips.

After a long while, Ruan Mi pushed Kang Dalei away with force and said with an angry expression:

"Pah! What are you doing?"

Kang Dalei licked his lips, looking completely satisfied.

"You owe me so many Demon Cores, I have to collect some interest first."

"You..." Ruan Mi wanted to say more, but her eyes rolled as she thought of a good idea to scam Kang Dalei. So, amidst his surprised expression, Ruan Mi suddenly turned coy and said:

"Master, I have an idea. I wonder if you'd be willing to do it?"

"Let's hear it."

"For every kiss, how many Demon Cores can be deducted?"

Ruan Mi had thought it through clearly: instead of being taken advantage of by Kang Dalei from time to time, she might as well earn some extra cash from him.

But Kang Dalei's next words nearly made her so angry that she couldn't help but want to attack him again.

"I want to sleep with you, but I don't want to reduce the interest. What do you think?"

"Go to hell."

Ruan Mi angrily kicked Kang Dalei between his legs and stormed out.

"Bastard, what does he take me for?"

Ruan Mi was still cursing Kang Dalei for being a piece of work, completely unaware that outside the supply station, a Spider Demon Queen was waiting for them.

As soon as she stepped out of the room, Ruan Mi was captured just like Meng Chuan and the others.

Looking at the environment before her, Ruan Mi almost broke down and cried.

"Damn it, what kind of karma did I commit?"

Just out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth.

Seeing another human genius deliver themselves to her doorstep, the Spider Demon Queen smiled even more alluringly.

Kang Dalei had told her to wait here for rabbits, saying she could catch many human geniuses. At first, she didn't believe him, but now she truly did.

"I wonder what it will taste like after I eat you all later."

The Spider Demon Queen was extremely excited.

She had been accompanying Kang Dalei in eating demons for the past few days, and she had almost forgotten the taste of human geniuses.

Meng Chuan and the others were stunned to see Ruan Mi get captured so easily, completely exposed and defenseless.

"Beauty, you're at least in the Wulou Realm, yet you just jump into the enemy's trap so openly!"

Meng Chuan was speechless.

The others also wore complicated expressions.

They had seen noobs before, like Mo Chen, who was captured with them, but even if he was a noob, he was still able to decisively counterattack after discovering danger.

Unlike Ruan Mi, who was just captured like that. How to describe that feeling?

It was like that feeling when you're stretching and someone suddenly touches your stomach.

The satisfaction was instantly interrupted.

Facing the accusations of the others, Ruan Mi naturally wouldn't admit that she lacked awareness, maneuverability, technique, or strength, so she very readily sold out Kang Dalei.

"It's all that bastard Kang Dalei's fault. It's one thing to bully Miss Liu Qiyue, but he, he just now, downstairs, he even forced a kiss on me."

"My first kiss, my innocence, it was all ruined by him."

Ruan Mi said this with such sincerity, half-true and half-false, that the others all cursed in unison.

"Scum."

"Sister Ruan Mi, rest assured, we will definitely avenge you."

Liu Qiyue comforted Ruan Mi, but then felt that wasn't quite right, and corrected herself:

"We will definitely find a chance to get revenge."

The group was tied up yet still had the mood to think about other things. Kang Dalei, who had walked out of the underground tunnel, couldn't help but give everyone a thumbs up.

"Worthy of being the protagonists, this morality is maxed out. Young Master Chuan, this time, what are you going to offer to make me save you?"

Seeing Kang Dalei appear, their expressions darkened again.

Seeing this, Ruan Mi immediately shouted:

"Kang Dalei, save me quickly!"

Kang Dalei ignored Ruan Mi and stared directly at Meng Chuan and the others.

However, it seemed the protagonist group had rather tough personalities; they actually ignored him.

Kang Dalei didn't get angry either; he waved his hand and walked straight out of the trap set by the Spider Demon Queen.

"Young Master Chuan, you're so tough. If Miss Liu Qiyue gets eaten by the demon, I wonder if you'll go crazy."

Before leaving, Kang Dalei didn't forget to provoke Meng Chuan.

Sure enough, this sentence was very effective.

Meng Chuan panicked.

"Go to hell!"

Immediately after, a strange blue ripple began to emit from Meng Chuan's body, but before he could fully erupt, Kang Dalei backhanded him, interrupting his spellcasting.

"Young Master Chuan, posing is fine, but please don't pose in front of me, especially in front of Liu Qiyue."

As he spoke, Kang Dalei's hand started to get restless again.

His hand, who knows when, had once again placed itself on Liu Qiyue's embroidered shoe.
