155: Chapter 155 I'll Let You Threaten Me

If she kept up this act, she was afraid she really would fall here today!

She knew very well that this fierce bandit would have no qualms about destroying her!

At this thought, Ye Liuli no longer hid her true self. An extreme killing intent suddenly erupted from her eyes, its sharpness almost tangible, as she glared viciously at Chun Xiaobai.

“I don't care who you are, I advise you to release me right now!”

“Otherwise, don't give me the chance. As soon as I catch an opening, I will definitely slaughter every single mountain bandit in the entire Eastern Region!”

Before her voice had even faded, an icy chill instantly enveloped Chun Xiaobai.

He couldn't help but shudder!

“Good heavens!”

“How many people has this woman killed to be able to condense such terrifying killing intent?”

Chun Xiaobai stared at her for a long while.

He finally realized that none of these so-called 'Sect Second-Generation' were good people!

They probably killed people for fun on a regular basis!

In his ten years at Black Wind Stronghold, he had faced countless enemies, but none could condense this kind of killing intent!

Compared to them, he, a proper fierce bandit, actually seemed pretty damn kind-hearted!

With that thought, the bit of pity for the fairer sex in Chun Xiaobai's heart vanished instantly. He closed the distance in a flash, grabbed Ye Liuli's collar, and delivered another backhanded slap, landing it firmly on that soft spot.

“Slap!”

An extremely crisp sound echoed back and forth in the empty cave, sounding exceptionally loud.

“Slaughter them all, will you?!”

“Threaten me, will you?!”

“Slap!”

“You... you... you...” Ye Liuli was both shamed and enraged, her entire body trembling.

She gritted her teeth, her beautiful eyes filled with tears of humiliation. “I, Ye Liuli, will never share the same sky as you in this life!”

“You’d better kill me now! Otherwise, I swear! I will definitely make you regret everything you’ve done to me today!”

“Holy crap!”

That deep-seated malice and resolve made Chun Xiaobai's heart skip a beat, and he actually felt a tiny flicker of fear.

Damn it!

In this moment, he suddenly realized that this woman's previous calm and indifferent appearance was all an act!

That was just to avoid provoking him, but it didn't mean she wouldn't seek revenge.

This madwoman persona now was likely her true character!

He could tell that every word she said was serious; she really would do it!

Because that gaze, which looked like it wanted to swallow him alive, was something an average person couldn't fake.

Outside the cave, Bai Jiner, who was eavesdropping with perked ears, felt her heart sink when she heard the phrase 'never share the same sky as you.'

It’s over! It’s over!

It's exactly like what's written in the storybooks!

Isn't this line the beginning of the love-hate relationship between the male and female leads?!

An unprecedented sense of crisis instantly took root and sprouted in her heart.

Chun Xiaobai frowned.

To be honest, when he kidnapped these people, he hadn't thought about taking their lives at all.

Although none of these 'Sect Second-Generation' were good, they had no personal grudge against him, and the money he was extorting wasn't theirs.

He was extorting the wealth those unscrupulous old fogies behind them had squeezed out of countless Disciples.

Now he realized his thinking had been too naive.

In this cultivation world where the strong eat the weak and it’s a dog-eat-dog existence, no one was truly kind.

Being merciful to his enemies now was being irresponsible to himself!

“This doesn't fit the 'ethics' of a fierce bandit at all!”

Chun Xiaobai lamented in his heart!

Ye Liuli kept her eyes fixed on Chun Xiaobai, watching the annoyance on his face gradually disappear, replaced by an indifference that made her heart race with fear.

It wasn't simple cruelty, but an absolute disregard that seemed to have crushed countless lives and stepped over mountains of corpses and seas of blood!

Her heart skipped a beat.

She had only ever seen this kind of gaze from the Tiansha Valley Old Ancestor, who had lived for three thousand years!

This guy... what kind of monster is he?

How could he have a mental state like that of a god or demon?

While she was filled with suspicion and uncertainty, the last ripple of emotion in Chun Xiaobai's eyes vanished.

He moved like a ghost, appearing before Ye Liuli in a flash, grabbing her snow-white neck and lifting her straight up!

“I don't care what kind of person you are, and I'm not afraid of your revenge!”

Chun Xiaobai's voice was devoid of emotion. “I'm giving you one last chance. Cooperate.”

“Otherwise, I don't mind destroying this beautiful flower!”

Ye Liuli's heart trembled when she heard this.

She knew this wasn't just a warning; he was stating an outcome that was about to happen.

But if she, Ye Liuli, compromised just like that, she wouldn't be Ye Liuli!

“You—”

“Slap!”

She had barely uttered a word when Chun Xiaobai delivered a backhanded slap, clean and decisive, sending her flying to crash against the stone wall.

“Revenge?” Chun Xiaobai didn't bother wasting more time with this woman. “The thing I fear least is revenge. That is... provided you can find This Great King first!”

This time, he didn't even bother using a Mirror Talisman and directly pulled out an image-recording stone to activate it.

Then he grabbed Ye Liuli from the ground, pulled her into his arms, slapped her soft spot once more, and roared at the image-recording stone:

“Listen up! This is your last chance! If you don't want the Tiansha Valley Sect Master to have a grandson ahead of schedule, then hurry up and bring This Great King her dowry!”

“Ugh—!”

Hearing this, Ye Liuli was so hateful she nearly crushed her teeth, filled with both rage and shame.

But she knew clearly that if she wanted revenge, if she wanted to pay back the humiliation she suffered today a hundred or a thousand times over, she had to endure for now!

She raised her head and stared at Chun Xiaobai with venom, squeezing a sentence through her teeth.

“Hmph, I hope you have the life to spend those treasures once you take them!”

After dealing with this most uncooperative woman, Chun Xiaobai turned his gaze toward Qin Ruoxue and Gu Shuangshuang.

He had originally thought Ye Liuli would be the most sensible, but she turned out to be the most troublesome, nearly making him explode with anger.

After a moment's thought, he decided to start with Gu Shuangshuang.

He walked over to Gu Shuangshuang and tapped her with a finger, releasing her Seal.

As the darkness faded, Gu Shuangshuang saw her surroundings and realized she was still in that dim Immortal Cave. She immediately shrank into a ball, clutching her knees, not daring to say a word.

Tsk, this one is indeed well-behaved.

Chun Xiaobai didn't want to use force again and got straight to the point.

“If you want to live, then cooperate with This Great King.”

“How... how do you want me to cooperate?”

Gu Shuangshuang looked panicked, blinking her innocent big eyes. “Before... didn't I already ask my father for the ransom according to your conditions?”

Chun Xiaobai immediately said in annoyance:

“This Great King now seriously suspects that you were born because your mother cuckolded your father! They would rather let me kill the hostage than pay the money!”

“Ah???”

Gu Shuangshuang suddenly showed a look of shock as if a secret had been discovered. “How... how did you know I’m not my father's biological daughter? Did you investigate me?”

“Uh!!!”

Gu Shuangshuang's sudden reaction left Chun Xiaobai completely stunned.
