154: Outskirts of Fenxiang Valley

Chapter 154: Outer Area of Incense Valley

Hearing this, You Ji remained silent.

"You have character!"

Su Han chuckled lightly, sitting across from You Ji, "I want to see how long you can endure."

"Longer than you think!"

You Ji was clenching her teeth tightly at this moment, her face pale as paper.

The intense pain had rapidly spread throughout her body after the poison entered her stomach, like countless cold little snakes slithering everywhere inside her.

Before long, an indescribable pain began to slowly rise from her heart.

"Hmmph..."

You Ji let out a muffled groan.

At this moment, she felt as if her heart was being gnawed by countless tiny, sharp teeth, each bite bringing excruciating pain.

And what was even more terrifying was...

This pain was like a tide, wave after wave, constantly assaulting her nerves.

Soon.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on You Ji's forehead, sliding down her cheeks and dripping onto the ground.

But You Ji just clenched her fists tightly, so tight that her fingernails dug deeply into her palms...

She tried to use another physical pain to distract herself from the pain in her heart.

Her body trembled slightly, enduring with all her might not to let out even a single muffled groan.

Su Han looked at You Ji in front of him, feeling somewhat helpless, "Still not talking?"

"As expected of a Heart Demon Realm expert, you have your dignity. I'm starting to admire you a bit..."

As Su Han spoke.

The pain You Ji was experiencing became more and more intense, and she even felt her consciousness starting to blur.

Every breath became heavy and difficult...

Time passed minute by minute, and You Ji's pain showed no sign of lessening.

She didn't know how much longer she could hold on...

Meanwhile, Su Han quietly observed You Ji's reaction.

Su Han's brow furrowed.

"You Ji's will is so firm. It seems this poison won't make her speak."

"Perhaps I really need to find a Cultivation Technique that can bewitch people's hearts, or a method to control people's minds..."

Thinking this.

Su Han raised his hand and fed You Ji another antidote, but to be safe, he also fed her a pill that restricted her cultivation.

As the antidote entered her stomach, the surging pain that had been like a tide on You Ji's body retreated rapidly, like a river that had been suddenly cut off.

Her entire body was soaked with sweat, and she was panting heavily, her body still trembling slightly from the intense pain she had just experienced.

At this moment.

You Ji looked at Su Han in surprise, her eyes filled with confusion and wariness.

She didn't understand why Su Han would suddenly give her an antidote...

"Su Han, what is the meaning of this?"

You Ji's voice was a little hoarse, clearly having expended a lot of energy from the pain just now.

"Don't think that just because you gave me an antidote, I will be grateful to you."

Su Han looked at You Ji, "Miss You Ji, I greatly admire your will, and you don't need to be grateful."

"For now, just stay here in peace."

Hearing this, You Ji's eyes narrowed, "Su Han, are you that kind-hearted?"

Su Han smiled, "I wouldn't say kind-hearted."

"I just realized that you won't give me the Cultivation Technique through torture. Since that's the case, why bother doing something meaningless?"

"As for the future..."

"Once I find a Cultivation Technique that can bewitch or control people's hearts, I will naturally know everything I want to know."

Saying this.

Su Han seemed to suddenly remember something, "Oh, right."

"Don't be happy too soon."

"Although I gave you the antidote, I also fed you a pill that restricts your cultivation and Spirit Energy."

"And everything that happens within the Cave Heaven, I can sense."

"Don't think about escaping, and don't think about committing suicide..."

"Without cultivation, you can't do it."

Saying this.

Su Han looked You Ji up and down, threatening her again.

"If you don't believe me, you can try."

"But for every attempt, I'll remove one piece of your clothing..."

You Ji listened to Su Han's threat and said nothing, only the anger in her eyes was almost erupting.

Su Han looked at You Ji's stubborn appearance, shook his head, and stood up.

"Alright, I'm leaving."

After Su Han finished speaking, he turned and left the Cave Heaven.

At this moment.

You Ji looked at Su Han's disappearing figure, gritted her teeth, and said bitterly, "Want to find a Cultivation Technique to bewitch or control people's hearts to control me? Dream on!"

Saying this, You Ji didn't hesitate to find a stone, preparing to commit suicide.

However, the moment she made a move, Su Han instantly appeared in front of her, sending out a burst of Spirit Energy that directly interrupted You Ji's suicide attempt.

Su Han's face was gloomy as he looked at You Ji.

Without a word, he directly waved his hand, and You Ji's black outer robe was instantly destroyed, revealing her snow-white back and plump legs...

"You can try again," Su Han's voice was cold.

A trace of shame and anger flashed in You Ji's eyes, but there was more stubbornness.

She raised the stone again, preparing to continue her suicide attempt.

Su Han's eyes became colder, and he struck again to stop her.

But soon.

Until You Ji was completely naked...

Su Han finally sighed helplessly, looking at You Ji.

"Why are you so stubborn?!"

Su Han waved his hand, and powerful Spirit Energy surged out, restraining You Ji.

"Since you are so stubborn, then you should just stay here properly for now."

"Once I find a way to control you, I'll come back and talk to you."

After Su Han finished speaking, he disappeared into the Cave Heaven once more.

You Ji was restrained, looking at Su Han's disappearing back, and then at the naked Su Han who had done nothing else.

"Maybe he's not as bad as I thought?"

But soon, You Ji shook her head again, "You Ji, you are enemies!"

"Just like Wan Jianyi back then..."

"Although he might be smarter than Wan Jianyi, not as pedantic, and more talented and unrestrained..."

"But an enemy is an enemy!"

And at this moment.

After leaving the Cave Heaven, Su Han also shook his head helplessly, feeling both a bit of admiration and quite a headache over You Ji's stubbornness.

Just as he was contemplating.

What his next step should be in finding a Cultivation Technique that could bewitch or control people's hearts, he suddenly heard Zeng Shuchang's shout.

"Su Han, are you up? We're about to set off!"

Su Han snapped back to attention and replied, "Okay, I'm coming."

He temporarily set aside his thoughts about You Ji and set off with the others once again on the journey to Incense Valley.

For the next month or so, Su Han and his group hurried towards Incense Valley.

Perhaps because of the previous examples of Qing Long and You Ji, they did not encounter any more obstacles on the rest of their journey.

They traveled during the day and rested at night.

Su Han would enter the Cave Heaven to Cultivate during the night when they rested, as the Spirit Energy within the Cave Heaven was more abundant.

At the same time, he would also talk to You Ji during his cultivation breaks.

After this period of interaction, You Ji no longer seemed intent on dying as she did at first and seemed to be slowly accepting her current life.

Su Han looked at You Ji, who was completely naked before him but didn't seem to care at all...

He wasn't sure if she had truly accepted the situation or was pretending to comply while waiting for an opportunity.

But Su Han felt it didn't matter.

As long as You Ji didn't cause trouble before he found the Cultivation Technique, that was fine.

Thus, Su Han and his group unknowingly arrived within a hundred miles of Incense Valley.

At this moment.

Su Han gazed at the faintly visible mountain range in the distance, thinking that he would soon see Shui Yue, his heart filled with excitement.

"Master, I'm here!"
