255: Chapter 255 Don't be afraid, Yao Yao

She had forcefully dragged out a half-rotten flower demon, with half its skeleton exposed; the sight was terrifying to the extreme.

Especially at this heart-stopping moment, the roots atop the flower demon's head suddenly snapped, and the carcass actually opened half a blood-red eyeball, rotted from soaking in blood.

"Ah—" Wu Yaoyao screamed in fright, nearly dropping the six-petaled god spirit flower in her hand. Like a startled rabbit, she threw herself at Ye Xuan with lightning speed, then leaped up, her long, beautiful legs wrapping tightly around Ye Xuan's waist like iron pincers.

Her arms wound around Ye Xuan's neck like snakes, and she hung onto him like a koala, burying her fair forehead deep into his chest, her delicate body trembling.

"Haha, little girl, didn't you make a fuss earlier about not wanting me to hold you? Why are you throwing yourself into my arms now?"

Ye Xuan's lips curved slightly upward in a playful smile, while he simultaneously controlled his puppet to firmly immobilize the Huangxuan Realm flower demon in mid-air.

"Wuu~ wuu~ Brother, you scared me to death!"

Wu Yaoyao's tears gushed out like a broken dam. Her large eyes, dampened by tears, looked even brighter and more moving, but at this moment, they were filled with fear and shock.

Her delicate body trembled slightly, as fragile as a flower in the wind.

After all, such an ugly and disgusting thing was simply too terrifying, and for Wu Yaoyao, who had never seen such a scene before, it was undoubtedly a huge shock.

She instinctively pressed her legs tightly together, trying to seek a sense of security.

"This girl's waist and leg strength are extraordinary!" Ye Xuan thought to himself in amazement while feeling the power from Wu Yaoyao's legs, as he gently patted her back to soothe her. *Such a petite and delicate body actually contains such powerful explosive force!*

After a long while, Wu Yaoyao slowly raised her head from Ye Xuan's chest.

Her beautiful, moving large eyes blinked, gazing at Ye Xuan, full of confusion, as if trying to find an answer in his eyes: "Brother, did you know something and purposely scare me!" Her voice carried a hint of feigned anger and grievance.

Facing Wu Yaoyao's questioning, Ye Xuan did not answer immediately, but instead raised the corners of his mouth in a mysterious and unfathomable smile.

That smile was puzzling, yet it faintly revealed a sense of confidence and calmness.

"Hmph, bad brother, big villain!" Seeing that Ye Xuan not only didn't explain but also had a cheeky grin on his face, Wu Yaoyao was instantly furious.

She waved her pink, delicate little fists and pounded them fiercely against Ye Xuan's chest, while her eyes widened and her mouth pouted high, looking just like an angry little pufferfish.

However, this seemingly fierce attack landed on Ye Xuan like a tickle, with absolutely no lethality to speak of.

"Jie jie jie—" A hair-raising laugh suddenly rang out, as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell.

It turned out that just as Wu Yaoyao was hanging onto Ye Xuan's waist, the terrifying flower demon she had pulled up had opened its mouth, which was mostly rotted away, and let out a shrill, desperate roar at Ye Xuan and Wu Yaoyao.

The sound was like a demon's roar, chilling to the bone and hair-raising to anyone who heard it.

If not for Ye Xuan's puppet tightly restraining it, this skeleton would likely have pounced on them to bite them long ago.

"Brother, it's so scary..." At this moment, Wu Yaoyao, hiding in Ye Xuan's arms, stole another glance at the Huangxuan Realm flower demon, only to be so frightened that she curled back into Ye Xuan's embrace, her long, beautiful legs instinctively tightening around his waist again.

"How dare you scare my, Ye Xuan's, little sister! You must be tired of living! Don't be afraid, little girl. With me here, watch how I deal with it!"

Ye Xuan comforted Wu Yaoyao in his arms while slowly loosening his hands to set her down from where she hung on him.

Immediately after, he took firm and steady steps, walking toward the restrained blood skeleton step by step.

"Ah... Brother, don't... don't get close to it..."

As the distance to the blood skeleton grew shorter, Wu Yaoyao, who was already very afraid, trembled even more violently, her entire delicate body swaying like a falling leaf in the wind.

"Don't be afraid, Yaoyao, it has already been trapped by my puppet and cannot move at all."

Ye Xuan said softly, while reaching out to gently pat Wu Yaoyao's back to soothe her.

Ye Xuan carefully patted her body, as if afraid of waking some terrifying entity.

Afterward, he slowly walked toward the hair-raising blood-colored skeleton, his eyes like torches, examining it carefully.

"Huu—" A low, hoarse sound came from the blood skeleton's mouth, echoing in the air and making one shiver.

This flower demon was draped in a tattered, blood-colored burial shroud, half its body eroded beyond recognition by blood, emitting an extremely eerie Huangxuan Realm aura.

Its full mouth of sharp red teeth ground against each other, making a creaking sound like a demon's whisper, as it let out heart-stopping roars at the approaching Ye Xuan and Wu Yaoyao.

"Wuu wuu~ Brother, don't get so close to it!"

Wu Yaoyao was terrified, her face pale as paper, her petite body pressed tightly against Ye Xuan, trembling.

Her screams were exceptionally harsh in the silent space, as if they could pierce one's soul.

Feeling the fear and unease of the girl in his arms, Ye Xuan felt heartbroken, but still feigned calmness as he comforted her: "Don't be afraid, Yaoyao, it just looks fierce; it's not actually that scary. Maybe it's even quite cute, a bit like those ugly-cute little monsters."

However, his heart couldn't help but ripple a little; after all, the scene before him was truly too eerie and terrifying.

"Bad brother, it's all your fault for making me pull it up! What if there's some danger?"

Wu Yaoyao's voice was mixed with a hint of complaint and coquettishness, while her legs exerted a slight force, seemingly wanting to give Ye Xuan a small punishment.

But in reality, she was more hoping to alleviate the fear in her heart through this method.

"Little girl, have you specifically trained in leg-based martial arts before?" the man asked, looking at the young girl before him with suspicion.

Ye Xuan inwardly groaned, feeling as if his waist was being tightly strangled by an invisible rope, aching unbearably.

This feeling was even more uncomfortable than the two days he had been knocked unconscious by his master!

"Brother, Master did indeed teach me a Quasi-Emperor secret technique in the past—the 'Luo Shen Art'."

Wu Yaoyao's voice was delicate and melodious, like heavenly music. It turned out that this 'Luo Shen Art' was actually an extremely profound leg technique manual.
