Chapter 186: Chapter 183 Side Effects

"What do you want to do?"

Mu Yan could tell something was amiss by looking into Ye Xuan’s pupils, and she began to feel a bit panicky. It wasn’t that she feared death, but she was afraid that Ye Xuan, in a state of lost reason, might do something else.

The power of the Blood Demon Body Sacrifice Skill was great, but the side effects were very apparent, not just physical harm but also the erosion of one’s mental state. Initially, Ye Xuan could still control this erosive force, but under extreme rage, it had seized the opportunity to creep in.

Chirp!

As expected, her premonition about the unwelcome thoughts had just risen.

"Kid, what are you doing? You are supposed to be on the righteous path..."

Mu Yan’s thoughts were immediately in turmoil. Although she was adept at beguiling men, it was usually the men who were played by her, dying without ever having taken the slightest advantage of her. This was completely different to being violated willfully by Ye Xuan as it was happening now.

Outwardly she might seem very passionate, but her heart held extreme disdain for men.

Mu Yan’s hands were clenched tightly around Ye Xuan’s arms, her nails digging deeply into his flesh, as she tried to push him away. Yet in her current state, she couldn’t shake Ye Xuan in the least.

After struggling for a moment, Mu Yan gave up the fight and a bitter smile appeared on her face. Ye Xuan being provoked to such a state was partly her fault; perhaps this was what they called reaping what one sowed.

However, at that moment, it was as if lightning had flashed through Ye Xuan’s mind. After a violent jolt, a hint of clarity also appeared in his bloodshot eyes.

Looking at the witch Mu Yan in front of him, Ye Xuan’s expression changed, and he rapidly recalled the erotic scene just now, causing his expression to become rather animated.

Ye Xuan let go of Mu Yan, then tossed out a piece of clothing from his Qiankun Ring, covering her body that could make any man’s nose bleed. He then found a clean spot to sit down and began to deal with the aftermath of the Blood Demon Body Sacrifice Skill dissipation.

At this time, Mu Yan’s previously shut eyes also slowly opened. Her gaze toward Ye Xuan was filled with deep hatred. Although Ye Xuan ultimately did nothing to her, she wished she could rush up and kill Ye Xuan right then.

"Your life is in my hands, it’s better for you to stay calm. Otherwise, I can take your life at any moment."

Ye Xuan’s eyes remained shut as he spoke indifferently.

"Then do it," Mu Yan bit her silver teeth. "Rather than be humiliated by you, I’d rather die by your hand right now."

"If I really had that intention, you would have already... Forget it, witch, I am not interested in you. But if you remain deluded and try to take the Yin Spirit Ghost Pearl from me, I won’t hesitate to kill you." A chill flashed in Ye Xuan’s eyes. He wasn’t some saintly good person. If it weren’t for a trace of guilt over the recent incident, he would have killed her already, not sparing her life.

After speaking, Ye Xuan’s eyes closed again. He swallowed a Xuanyuan Pill that restored True Qi, and began to circulate the Cultivation Technique formulas to heal with the True Qi.

Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Mu Yan’s expression turned even uglier. This bastard had already treated her this way and still claimed to have no interest. For a woman, there could be no greater blow than this.

But she also knew that Ye Xuan’s impulsive actions were due to the side effects of the Blood Demon Body Sacrifice Skill. Once Ye Xuan regained consciousness, he stopped immediately. Could it be that he really had no interest in her at all?

Impossible.

Mu Yan was in denial in her heart. She firmly believed that no man could be completely unmoved by her charms, moreover, to pull back at the last moment. At barely twenty years old, how did this guy possess such saint-like self-control?

"This bastard."

Now, Mu Yan felt both hate and anger. Hateful that Ye Xuan had violated her, and angry that Ye Xuan ultimately disregarded her. This man, whom she had never regarded properly, seemed to look down on her, which was an enormous humiliation.

The psychological humiliation was even more infuriating than the physical shame.

However, considering she was still no match for Ye Xuan at present, once she regained her strength, she would be able to knead Ye Xuan as she pleased. She would repay the humiliation from earlier plenty fold.

With this mindset, she also took out a new set of clothes from her ring and put them on, and then she closed her eyes and began to cultivate once again.

Soon, this underground space returned to silence.

Seven days later.

Ye Xuan’s Qiankun Ring still contained plenty of dry food, enough to sustain him for a long-term recovery. Although martial artists required little food, it was not to say they didn’t need any, especially since Ye Xuan had not yet broken through to the Martial Sect, and here underground, nature’s spiritual energy was extremely sparse, hardly sufficient for cultivation.

Fortunately, Ye Xuan possessed several hundred Xuanyuan Pills, which could temporarily sustain his cultivation needs.

The side effects brought about by the Blood Demon Body Sacrifice Skill had mostly subsided during these seven days. Unlike the previous time in the Panlong Mountains when he was low in cultivation and faced overwhelmingly stronger enemies, resulting in severe injuries, this time, his cultivation was at the Half-step Martial Sect level. With the Divine Grade Hidden Dragon Skill aiding him, the adverse effects of using the Blood Demon Body Sacrifice Skill were significantly lesser.

However, Mu Yan’s recovery speed was much faster than Ye Xuan’s. After all, Ye Xuan had used a secret technique like the Blood Demon Body Sacrifice Skill, which naturally slowed his recovery. By the time he was mostly healed, Mu Yan had fully recovered.

At that moment, she stood up from her seat and stared coldly at Ye Xuan, walking behind him.

A cold glint flashed in her beautiful eyes, and Mu Yan’s right hand formed into a claw, mercilessly reaching for Ye Xuan’s crown of the head. However, the anticipated blood spray did not occur, because her claw stopped abruptly just inches away from the top of Ye Xuan’s head.

"Kill him just like that?"

The moment before she struck Ye Xuan, Mu Yan hesitated for the first time ever before killing someone. Now, she could take Ye Xuan’s life, but then what? To be trapped alive in this dark underground until she dies alone, without anyone to even speak to before her death?

Thinking of this, her hand slowly lowered.

"Since you can’t bring yourself to do it, don’t waste your effort. You might as well use your recovered strength to find an exit that might lead to the surface. After you discover the exit, it won’t be too late to come back and kill me." As she let go, Ye Xuan also moved his lips slightly, and a faint voice reached her ears.

"Humph, you think I can’t do it? Rest assured, you are going to die sooner or later. Once I find a way out, I will drain you of your essence with my Charming Skill, letting you die a painful death."

Seeing Ye Xuan’s confident demeanour, Mu Yan grew even more furious. Did this man not realise he was just a hair’s breadth away from death? If she hadn’t changed her mind at the last moment, fearing solitary confinement to death underground, Ye Xuan would no longer be alive.

Yet she didn’t know that Ye Xuan was unafraid of her making a move, because he still had the Flood Dragon up his sleeve. If Mu Yan truly intended to kill him just now, then the Flood Dragon would have intervened and killed her.

"Drain my essence? Like just now?"

Ye Xuan’s lips suddenly curved into a mocking smile as if recalling the sensual scene from before.

"How dare you mention it!"

Mu Yan flared up in great rage, overwhelmed with shame. She threw a palm furiously towards Ye Xuan, who this time responded. Their palms clashed with fierce force.

"Hold on, after we find the exit, we can fight to the death. How about that?"

Observing that Mu Yan wanted to continue her attack, Ye Xuan raised his hand to stop her. Having more people would increase their strength to help find a way out. This was also part of Ye Xuan’s reasoning for sparing the witch’s life.

"Watch your mouth."

Seemingly agreeing to Ye Xuan’s proposal, Mu Yan left behind a harsh comment and walked away, evidently suppressing her urge to kill Ye Xuan and went to search for an exit instead.

Seeing her fiery figure slowly receding, Ye Xuan revealed a pensive expression, and then a hint of a smile crept onto his lips...

Such thoughts ultimately flickered fleetingly through Ye Xuan’s mind. Afterwards, he continued to sit calmly with his eyes closed, cultivating peacefully in the dark underground...
