Let Me Explain, Fairy
Chapter 970 - 601: Inferior Ones

Chapter 970: Chapter 601: Inferior Ones

Mottled sunlight barely pierced through the gradually closing sandstorm, falling upon the cliff top.

Staring at the approaching fair and slender hand, Mu Xingyi met the glaring golden pupil for an instant and spoke in a soft voice:

"Miss, what do you mean by this?"

The palace-dressed young girl tilted her head in thought and laughingly said in a sweet voice:

"Was I not clear enough? This transaction was made between you and him, but I am the owner of the item being traded. As someone with principles, you wouldn’t go back on your word, would you?"

Mu Xingyi looked at the smiling girl before him and after a short silence, said:

"The fault lies with me, but I had no other choice."

The palace-dressed girl raised an eyebrow, her voice drawn out:

"Choice?"

A flicker of conflict passed through Mu Xingyi’s eyes as he said in a low voice:

"Brother Zhou is a special person, to allow Nuonuo to be fully born, he had to be sacrificed. And if Lady Wan is to survive during Nuonuo’s birth, I had no choice but to forcibly seize this blade."

The palace-dressed girl chuckled lightly and said softly:

"Every man for himself, and the devil takes the hindmost?"

"...."

Hearing this, Mu Xingyi stopped the slight smile at the corners of his mouth and remained silent without responding.

The palace-dressed girl shook her head and said with a low chuckle:

"A bit principled, but not much. I have encountered quite a few people like you....."

"Saintess, according to the ethical viewpoints proclaimed by your Human Race, this matter is indeed our fault."

A gentle female voice suddenly interrupted the girl’s words. Lady Wan, with loving eyes and lower eyelids, gently stroked her belly and said in a calm tone:

"But no matter how your Human Race tries to cover it up, isn’t the darkness beneath this veneer of hypocrisy still the natural order of the strong preying on the weak as per the Heavenly Dao?"

While speaking,

Lady Wan stopped caressing her belly, gradually lifted her abyss-like eyes that lacked any white, and looked towards the palace-dressed girl seemingly hovering in the air, saying:

"Nuonuo is special, an existence that has never been seen before. Zhou Yunqing’s assistance in his birth is part of the cycle of the Heavenly Dao.

"Saintess, you should be well aware of the vast gap in strength between us, and how merciful it is for him to be willing to spare you women.

"So, I hope you can accept this kindness of his."

Lady Wan spoke very calmly, without any condescension or arrogance, as if stating a fact.

She knew the prestigious status the girl held in the vast Central Lands, and she also knew what kind of blow these words would be to her pride, but what of it?

No matter how noble the status or how powerful the force, they couldn’t change the fact that at this moment, both he and she were lambs to the slaughter.

But contrary to expectations,

Lady Wan did not see any irritation in those beautiful golden eyes of the girl.

The girl did not speak, still smiling faintly, with a look of interest.

Lady Wan felt this was a façade built by the other party for protection.

The nobility of the Human Race was always like this, a thing called integrity that didn’t allow them to show panic or fear, but whenever she pierced through this façade with a blade, ninety percent of them would abandon that so-called integrity and kneel to beg for mercy.

Out of self-interest, Lady Wan hoped that the Jiatiange Saintess before her belonged to the rare ten percent.

Because then, the Saintess would resist.

And then she could offer these women to their child as a gift upon its birth, with Xing Yi’s silent consent.

Thus, Lady Wan decided to be the villain to the end.

Her cold gaze fell upon the girl who seemed like a Goddess descending, and Lady Wan’s voice was cool and smiling:

"Xing Yi is a good man. I hope you will not make things difficult for him anymore and not hope for more.

"It’s an honor for the lower beings to be devoured by beings of higher status, isn’t it?"

"Hmph..."

Tian Ye chuckled lightly upon hearing this.

Then,

She questioned with a hint of doubt in her clear voice, audible to every being present:

"But what if it turns out that you are the lower beings you speak of, what then?"

Lady Wan involuntarily furrowed her brows at the ludicrous response but was pleased.

Subconsciously, she raised her hand to soothe the restless infant in her belly and laughingly said in a soft voice:

"Then it would be as it should."

"What if I were to crush your precious Nuonuo to death, would that also be as it should?"

"...."

Hearing this, both Mu Xingyi and Lady Wan involuntarily frowned.

Lady Wan’s gaze became icy, her beautiful voice carrying killing intent:

"Saintess, please be careful with your words. It seems you have forgotten how you barely escaped with your life from under my hand?"

"As for now, you may take him and flee."

"......"

Tian Ye stood her ground without moving, her playful gaze leisurely circling the two in front of her.

After a short pause,

She suddenly turned to Xu Yuan and asked aloud:

"Brother Changtian, are you interested in this pregnant Yin Ghost?"

The moment her words were spoken, silence enveloped the barren cliff top, and even the whimpering wind seemed to come to a halt.

Under the watchful eyes of the girl’s smiling gaze, Xu Yuan didn’t utter a sound, not daring to make a peep.

He wasn’t clear about the latter half of the Enchantress Divine Illusion Realm, only vaguely remembering that he had stabbed her and she had stabbed him.

It seemed as if they had been in a love-hate relationship for a long time.

In the silence,

Tian Ye, somewhat discontented, nudged Xu Yuan and asked cheerily:

"Hey, I’m talking to you."

Xu Yuan smacked his lips and, under three sets of eyes staring at him, casually replied with an expressionless face:

"Not at the moment."

"Weren’t you rather fond of married women at first?"

"I don’t remember clearly."

"Humph~ I knew you would say that, but if you are indeed interested, it’s best to say so now. Maybe I can let Brother Changtian here have a go in front of her husband~"

"....."

The Enchantress’s brazenness was more than Xu Yuan could stand.

Of course, Mu Xingyi and Lady Wan, who were across from him, couldn’t stand it either.

Under the perception of Spiritual Vision, their Energy Mechanism was already targeting Tian Ye, who resembled Tianyan.

Tian Ye seemed to sense this as well, and with a giggle, the laughter lingered momentarily, as she slowly shifted her gaze from Xu Yuan to the two opposite them.

Their two increasingly cold gazes crossed paths for an instant with hers,

Tian Ye curved her lips slightly, her arms subconsciously crossed over her chest, only to suddenly realize that her arms were empty, and she involuntarily tsked in dissatisfaction.

With her slender index finger lightly tapping her chin, she playfully said:

"You keep claiming the morality of the Human Race is hypocritical, so why are you even more conservative than the Human Race when it comes to the Heavenly Dao’s procreation? One life bound to another... Heh~"

Lady Wan clenched her slender fingers tighter, staring at the unfiltered girl in front of her, asserting word by word:

"Saintess, my patience is nearly at its limit."

"So what if it’s at its limit?"

"You...."

As she began to speak,

Lady Wan suddenly realized that the girl in the palace dress had vanished from sight.

Before she could react,

In the next instant,

Amidst the swirling yellow sand,

Tian Ye’s figure suddenly appeared behind her, back facing her, smirking playfully:

"A Saint Level Ghost, half-dead from birthing a Ghost Infant..."

"Humm—"

Before she could finish speaking, the atmosphere atop the mountain became abruptly tumultuous.

A massive wailing of ghastly cries suddenly blasted a circular pit tens of meters deep into the cliff behind Lady Wan.

As the aftershocks faded away,

Lady Wan looked around guardedly, only to have that playful voice quietly emanate from behind Mu Xingyi:

"A Semi-Saint Insect Person wounded by the Dragon Seal of the Lord of the Ancient Abyss..."

"Boom!"

Root-like giant insect legs burst forth from the ground, with the might of a Saint Level Ghost, causing the cliff top to collapse catastrophically.

Countless boulders and dust rolled down into the valley like a landslide.

Amidst the colossal noise of the collapse and the billowing sandstorm,

Two graceful figures darted upward in a spiral at such a speed that their sonic booms created a vacuum streak in the midst of the sandstorm.

And in the end,

The slender girl ultimately grabbed onto the fleeing woman’s arm.

She looked at her, her eyes filled with bewildered incomprehension.

She didn’t understand why the Saintess of Jiatiange had undergone such a tremendous change in strength.

"Zzzap—"

As if struck by some invisible severe blow, the woman’s arm was brutally torn off, her body casting a fleeting shadow through the air as she was violently smashed down into the valley.

Then,

The graceful figure stood alone above the void, her charming laughter echoing throughout the entire canyon:

"With just you two cripples, you dare to snatch someone from under my nose?"
