191: Chapter 191 You dare hit me there?

A palm struck heavily against that snow-white place of hers.

The sound was crisp, echoing exceptionally loudly in this quiet Immortal Cave.

The touch was unexpectedly good.

Even through the fabric, he could feel that startling elasticity and softness.

Nangong Zili's body suddenly stiffened.

She froze there, as if she had been dazed by that slap.

Immediately, a surge of unprecedented fury erupted in her heart like a volcano!

She, Nangong Zili, a dignified Core Formation True Person, the Spider Gu Envoy of the Five Gu Sect, who had roamed Nanjiang for decades and made countless Cultivators tremble with fear—

Was actually being pinned down and hit there by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator?!

And, it was even in front of her disciple!

Disgrace!

A monstrous disgrace!

In that moment, she even forgot she was injured, forgot that she was currently so weak that even moving was difficult; she only felt a surge of hot blood rush to her head, and her whole being was about to explode!

"You lecher! I will definitely kill you! I will skin you alive, pull out your tendons, grind your bones, and scatter your ashes! I'll throw you into the Myriad Gu Cave, and let you suffer the pain of Ten Thousand Gu Devouring the Heart day and night! I will—"

Nangong Zili roared at Ye Changge, her voice hoarse yet sharp, like the final roar of a wounded beast.

As she spoke, her peach blossom eyes widened, filled with killing intent and fury; that fierce appearance would have scared anyone else into a Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering state.

However—

The moment she uttered those harsh words, she suddenly felt her heart skip a beat.

As if it had been pierced ruthlessly by something sharp!

"Ugh!"

Nangong Zili let out a muffled groan, her face turning pale instantly; the fury that had just risen was forcefully interrupted by this sudden, sharp pain.

She clutched her chest, panting heavily, as fine beads of cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

What... is this?

A strong sense of unease welled up in her heart, and she subconsciously sank her Divine Sense into her body, wanting to investigate.

However, that sharp pain came and went quickly; by the time she tried to find the source, it had vanished without a trace, as if it had never appeared.

Only a faint, indistinct feeling of something being off remained deep within her heart.

Ye Changge looked at the undisguised killing intent in her eyes, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

It seems the effect of this Love-Locking Gu... is somewhat useless?

This woman is already in this state, yet her head is still full of thoughts about killing him.

He grumbled inwardly; wasn't this Love-Locking Gu claimed to be able to make the victim fall in love with the caster and become unable to extricate themselves?

Why was it that when it came to this woman, only the thought of "wanting to kill" remained?

Was it because her cultivation was too high and her will too firm, so the Gu couldn't take effect for a while?

Or was it... that this Gu was originally a piece of junk?

Ye Changge shook his head, temporarily suppressing this thought.

Regardless, the most important thing right now was to make her recognize reality.

Then, he raised his hand again—

Slap!

Another palm fell on the same spot as before, with slightly more force than the last one.

The sound was even crisper than before, echoing around.

A faint red mark immediately appeared on that snow-white place, clearly visible even through the clothing.

Nangong Zili's body stiffened once more.

This time, she didn't roar again; she just bit her lower lip hard, her vivid red lips nearly bleeding from the bite.

Her whole body was trembling slightly, though whether from anger or shame, it was hard to tell.

Ye Changge wanted her to recognize reality.

After all, she was a Demonic Path Woman.

He had seen in the intelligence reports that in the Demonic Path, the Law of the jungle was even more blatant than in the Righteous Path.

There, strength was everything, and weakness was the original sin.

The best way to deal with a Demonic Path Woman was to show strength and a more dominant attitude than hers, making her understand deep in her bones...

That resistance was useless.

Moreover, he had the Love-Locking Gu in hand; although the effect wasn't very obvious right now, it was still a guarantee.

When the time came, he would slowly enter her heart...

Ye Changge calculated in his mind, his gaze falling on Nangong Zili's exquisite face.

Furthermore, it had to be said that facing such a stunner, Ye Changge was also finding it hard to remain still.

It was an instinctive urge, unrelated to logic or emotion.

That charm unique to a mature woman, that flavor settled after weathering the elements, that temperament of clearly being in Life Qi yet still exuding allure.
