Chapter 604: Chapter 598 Playing Games

Yet, just as Zi Ying loathed Ye Xuan to the core, wishing she could kill him, he suddenly stuffed a pill into her mouth.

"What did you give me to eat?"

Zi Ying was stunned for a moment, then bit her lip and said.

"An aphrodisiac,"

Ye Xuan replied indifferently.

"What, you bastard!"

Zi Ying was almost driven mad by rage. This bastard was actually giving her such a thing now, which was simply worse than a beast.

"What a stupid woman. If I did anything to you, would you not know? Don’t you have any common sense?"

Ye Xuan shook his head, smiling. Seeing that things were about right, he also took a garment out of the Qiankun Ring and draped it over her, for fear that any more anger might literally kill her.

"Furthermore, if I wanted to do something to you, would I need to drug you now? While you lay unconscious earlier, it would have been all too easy for me to do whatever I wanted,"

Ye Xuan said, looking at Zi Ying with a hint of mockery. When Zi Ying heard his words, she quickly checked inside her clothes a few times. Upon feeling that her body did not have any discomfort, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It seemed that Ye Xuan really hadn’t done anything to her.

"How would I know you haven’t done anything else?" Zi Ying still wasn’t ready to let Ye Xuan off the hook.

"No, am I that kind of person? Besides, rest assured, I’m not interested in you,"

Ye Xuan was glad to end the conversation and avoid the woman’s constant suspicion.

"Don’t try to deny it. When I woke up just now, I clearly saw you trying to kiss me, right?"

Zi Ying said through clenched teeth.

"Er... that was a misunderstanding,"

A few black lines appeared on Ye Xuan’s forehead. Indeed, he had entertained that thought for a moment, but that couldn’t be held against him, could it? After all, it seemed only natural for him to have a tiny flicker of wicked thought when a completely naked beauty was lying right before him.

"Fine, I admit it. Your charm, Miss Zi Ying, is irresistible to any man. I had indeed been planning to take liberties with you, lucky for you that you woke up early. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Knowing that arguing would do him no good, Ye Xuan finally admitted it and decided to back down.

"That’s more like it,"

Zi Ying was clearly not seeking confirmation of anything, she just didn’t like Ye Xuan’s attitude and wanted him to capitulate.

This woman typically responded better to a soft approach than a hard one.

"So, you’re saying the person who ambushed me wasn’t you?" Zi Ying pondered briefly, then asked.

"Nonsense, of course it wasn’t me,"

Ye Xuan said somewhat speechlessly, "Not only that, but had I not taken action, by now you would surely have been violated. Do you believe that?

"If I had known it would lead to this, I wouldn’t have saved you. Just my luck, trying to eat mutton and ending up annoying myself."

"If not you, then who is behind this plot against me?"

A cold gleam flashed in Zi Ying’s beautiful eyes, "Whichever bastard it was, I definitely won’t let him off the hook."

"Who else could it be?"

Ye Xuan sneered, "Who is it that constantly has you on their mind—don’t you know yourself?"

"Are you talking about Chi Yi or Fei Lian?"

The gleam in Zi Ying’s eyes flashed as if she quickly had her answer, "Chi Yi wouldn’t dare. It must be Fei Lian, but how did that guy infiltrate? The Clan Leader’s residence has several prohibitions. If someone recklessly barged in, it would be easy to trigger the prohibitions. Could it be someone from the Shadow Demon Clan helped him?"

"Seems like you’re not entirely foolish,"

Ye Xuan hummed, "If I’m not mistaken, the one who helped that Fei Lian should be your Second Elder."

"Second Elder!"

Zi Ying’s pretty face showed surprise, but she wasn’t overly shocked, "If I marry Fei Lian, I won’t qualify to be the next Clan Leader of the Shadow Demon Clan. By then, the Second Elder’s son would become the most likely candidate. Just from this point, the Second Elder does indeed have the potential to be a traitor."

"Whether it’s the Second Elder is actually quite easy to discover."

"The poison in your body is called Thousand Shadows Poison. This poison is quite troublesome to make, requiring some specific materials and one needs to be in seclusion for half a month to concoct it. You only need to secretly investigate the Second Elder’s recent activities, and all will become clear."

Ye Xuan knew that Zi Ying wouldn’t fully trust his words without strong evidence.

"It’s almost certainly him."

Zi Ying’s pretty face was slightly cold. In fact, she had already started to believe Ye Xuan’s words just now, but she couldn’t confirm them yet. Now that Ye Xuan mentioned it like this, she was almost certain. The Thousand Shadows Poison was indeed the Second Elder’s specialty, always used against the enemies of the Shadow Demon Clan. She did not expect that she herself would fall victim this time.

"This old fart, I’ll let him know the consequences of scheming against me."

The murderous intent in Zi Ying’s beautiful eyes was extremely chilling. It was fortunate that Ye Xuan had inadvertently saved her this time; otherwise, she would have definitely been violated by Fei Lian, with disastrous consequences.

"Enough already, you’d better not be so obvious. The Thousand Shadows Poison that old fart gave you will fade away quickly. Without evidence, you can’t possibly bring anyone down," Ye Xuan casually reminded her.

Upon hearing this, the murderous aura in Zi Ying’s eyes immediately lessened quite a bit. Indeed, as Ye Xuan had said, the Second Elder’s status was still quite high. Without evidence, she could do nothing, and the only witness was Ye Xuan. His words would obviously carry weight with her, but in the eyes of the rest of the Demon Clan, they were probably worthless.

A human, no matter how strong, would not be taken seriously in the Evil Domain.

"Hey, hey, don’t think about such useless things. I saved you this time; that should count as a great service, right? Shouldn’t you think of a way to help me get out of here? If you manage that, we’ll be even, and I won’t need you to repay this favor," Ye Xuan suddenly spoke up, interrupting Zi Ying’s train of thought.

"I’ve said it before, you humans can’t get out of the Evil Domain," Zi Ying shook her head firmly, "And although you saved me, you also got a benefit from it. We are already even."

"What benefit did I get?"

Ye Xuan was startled, not knowing what benefit he had gained.

"You’ve seen what you shouldn’t have seen, touched what you shouldn’t have touched. I’m letting it go because you saved me; otherwise, just for that, I would dig out your eyes, chop off your hands," Zi Ying’s tone was chillingly cold.

"What? That counts as a benefit?"

Ye Xuan found it somewhat absurd. "Though your figure is quite good, I’ve seen others before. So just like that, it makes up for all my efforts? Do you know how much it cost me to save you?"

Although it didn’t cost him much.

"Okay, you are my slave; doing anything for me is your duty," Zi Ying said with an unchanged icy demeanor.

"Is that so?"

A sharp glint flashed in Ye Xuan’s eyes, and then he directly approached Zi Ying, stopping in front of her.

"What are you trying to do?"

Zi Ying suddenly had a bad premonition.

"The slave is pressured too hard by the master and is preparing to rebel."

Ye Xuan crouched down, somewhat displeased with Zi Ying’s still superior attitude. He had made up his mind to take the edge off this woman; otherwise, his efforts would have been for nothing.

"Don’t mess around."

As Ye Xuan got increasingly closer, Zi Ying also became somewhat frantic. She had just taken the antidote provided by Ye Xuan, and the toxins from the Thousand Shadows Poison had not been completely neutralized; she was powerless to resist.

"Claiming a little interest."

With a quick glance, and then under Zi Ying’s petrified expression, Ye Xuan surprisingly embraced her soft back with the speed of thunder and brazenly kissed Zi Ying’s soft lips.

Their lips barely met before quickly parting. By the time Zi Ying realized what had happened, Ye Xuan had already disappeared.

"Ha ha ha, Miss, now we are even..."

Ye Xuan’s laughter spread through the forest, carrying a hint of triumphant joy.

"Bastard, I’m going to kill you!"

Zi Ying’s pretty face flushed red. She had never imagined that Ye Xuan would suddenly do such a thing. Usually, everyone was ever so respectful and compliant to her face—nobody dared to offend her. They didn’t have the power, nor the guts. Yet today, not only had Ye Xuan seen her body, but he had also unashamedly stolen her first kiss.

Although the Demon Clan was more open than the Human Clan, the upper echelons of the Demon Clan, considering their bloodline noble, wouldn’t easily engage in physical contact with others.

Yet what made her seethe with embarrassment was that her body had actually responded with pleasure to Ye Xuan’s move, and she felt an unfinished longing.

The man was merely a human being, one their Demon Clan despised the most. Even though he possessed the Dragon Clan Bloodline, Ye Xuan was still essentially human.

"I’m always at your service. But before that, you should detoxify the Thousand Shadows Poison first."

Ye Xuan’s mouth curved into a mocking smile. Although he somewhat regretted that kiss, thinking it a bit presumptuous, regret was fleeting. What was done was done, and why worry about consequences now? He indeed hadn’t held back for a moment, also driven by a bit of discontent, which led to that action.

"You just wait."

Zi Ying took a deep breath to calm her agitated heart. Her feelings were complicated, angry yet also somewhat ashamed. She wanted to tear Ye Xuan limb from limb, but recalling the scene just before, she felt a certain sweetness.

"Why do I feel this way?"

Zi Ying shook her head vigorously, trying to expel the image from her mind. Could it be that she had actually developed feelings for Ye Xuan?

"Impossible, it must be because I’ve never encountered a man before, that I feel this way. He’s just a human, after all, slick with words, cunning and crafty, never speaking the truth, and he’s also a deplorable lecher. Who could like such a person?"

Struggling to put aside the chaotic thoughts in her mind, Zi Ying’s heartbeat slowly returned to normal as she continued to belittle Ye Xuan, trying to demonize him in her mind and make herself detest and hate Ye Xuan. But she seemed to forget something very important; she never liked Ye Xuan to begin with. From the beginning to the end, she had always disliked Ye Xuan.
