Chapter 493: I Want To Live

Chapter 493: I Want To Live

“You didn’t have to do this, brother,” said Yi Pin with a sigh while Ye Qing used a drop of Nature’s Water to restore his crushed fingers back to normal. Was this really necessary?

“I have to if I want to live,” Ye Qing replied enigmatically while smiling casually. It was a smile that was equal parts helpless and defiant.

“What on earth happened to you, brother?”

Yi Pin didn’t know what happened to Ye Qing, but it had to be something big for the young man to say something like this.

“You really want to know?” Ye Qing’s smile turned playful.

“Eh? Did I say something just now? I can’t remember a thing for some reason. How strange!” Yi Pin immediately feigned ignorance and scratched his head. He knew that Zhou Hengshan, a Grandmaster, was involved, and there could be bigger fishes in the pond. Considering that he was just a puny little Vessel Augmentor, the knowledge could only be harmful to him. That was why he immediately changed his mind.

“Don’t worry, I’ll tell you everything once we get out of this place alive,” Ye Qing declared with a devious smirk on his face.

“No, it’s fine. I don’t want to hear it,” Yi Pin replied seriously while shaking his head.

“Yes you do.” Ye Qing insisted with the same smirk. You will learn even if you don’t want to.

Knowing then that he couldn’t change Ye Qing’s mind, Yi Pin felt like giving himself a couple slaps to the face. Why are you so curious, mouth? Now, we’re both in trouble!

“But that’s a topic for another day. You’re a worldly man, right brother? How many people do you recognize in this place?” Ye Qing pretended he didn’t notice Yi Pin’s look of deep regret and changed the subject.

A jolt immediately came over Yi Pin. He’s not scheming something again, is he?! He watched Ye Qing warily as he asked, “Why do you want to know?” New n0vel chapters are published on

“It’s nothing. I just want to know about their background, that’s all.” Ye Qing smiled mysteriously.

“I don’t recognize any of them.” Yi Pin shook his head and showered Ye Qing with a look of deeper suspicion. Like hell I’ll believe that! You’re one of the baddest kids I’ve ever met!

“No, you do,” refuted Ye Qing with a smile.

“Can’t we just lay low and survive our predicament peacefully, brother?” Yi Pin sighed. He couldn’t understand why Ye Qing insisted on courting death when life was an option.

“I am lying low. I just want to know who they are, that’s all.” Ye Qing blinked innocently.

“You... ah, screw it.” Yi Pin suddenly let out a deep sigh. “Do whatever you want. Just make sure you don’t involve me in your schemes. I’m not planning on dying anytime soon, understand?”

“Don’t worry. You will live so long as I live, brother,” Ye Qing declared confidently.

In other words, the show-off had finally gotten his karma.

“Well, I’m gonna go collect my Profound Yellow Qi now, so see y’all later. Hahahahahahaha!” Sun Xuanzhen laughed even harder when he saw that Yue Juejiang’s complexion had turned as black as coal. He turned his back on the Earthly Sovereign Hall’s descendant and slowly walked away.

Crack!

Yue Juejiang glared daggers at Sun Xuanzhen’ back and clenched his fists so hard that veins were popping on the back of his hand. He wanted nothing more than to kill Sun Xuanzhen right here and now.

“Haha... don’t be mad, dearie. You haven’t forgotten why we’re here, have you?”

It was at this moment Huo Linglong stepped forward and squeezed Yue Juejiang’s arms between her breasts. She propped her chin on top of his shoulder and breathed, “If you really can’t let it go, then I’ll help you get revenge once we’re out of this place. What do you say?”

The warm breath that tickled his ear, the seductive voice that bewitched the mind, the faint scent that seemed sweeter than even the freshest air, and the hourglass body that invoked endless imagination slithered into Yue Juejiang’s heart like tiny flames. When they combined, they abruptly transformed into a blazing inferno.

The young man’s eyes slowly turned bloodshot, and his breathing grew heavier and heavier. He slowly turned to stare at Huo Linglong like he might devour her alive. However, Huo Linglong didn’t seem afraid in the slightest, her smile only growing more seductive as time passed. She looked like a fire in the darkest night, and anyone who set their eyes on her wanted to throw themselves into her flames even at the cost of their lives.

Suddenly, a humanoid, doll-like creature made of some sort of skin flew out of Yue Juejiang’s clothes. Floating in the air, it assumed a horse stance, spun its right arm in a circle twice, and bent sideways about a hundred and eighty degrees before finally landing a powerful slap on Yue Juejiang’s face.

Slap!

It was such a loud and crisp slap that noise resounded throughout the entire Earthly Sovereign’s Coffin. Not only that, Yue Juejiang was sent flying through the air before he hit the wall behind him, hard.

“Holy mother of...”

Ye Qing had been peeping on the trio this whole time, and his eyes widened in astonishment and approval when he saw this. This skin doll’s slap is almost as good as mine!

On a more serious note, the skin doll was probably some sort of special Strange Artifact, and it just saved Yue Juejiang’s life.

As expected of a practitioner of the Dark Ways, Huo Linglong’s martial art was as devilish as it was unpredictable. She could stir her target’s lust and bend them to her will with even the most harmless of gestures.

Yue Juejiang had let down his guard for one second, and he nearly lost himself to lust and succumbed to whatever wicked designs Huo Linglong had prepared for him. Luckily for him, the skin doll appeared at a critical moment and awoke him with a slap to the face.

After Yue Juejiang climbed back to his feet, he glared at Huo Linglong hatefully and asked, “What did you do to me?”

“I’m just a frail woman. What can I possibly do to you?” Huo Linglong giggled innocently. The sight of her trembling curves sparked a new flame in his heart, but when the skin doll rubbed its hands together as if anticipating another slap, Yue Juejiang snapped out of it and hurriedly put it away. He shot Huo Linglong one final look before walking away.

“Hahaha... this is fun.” Huo Linglong giggled one last time before walking toward a room herself.
