Terrifying!

127: Chapter 026 Ruthless!

Terrifying!

“This is a woman whose body and proportions were at the pinnacle of perfection!

No wonder, when characters like Ji Taichong saw Feng Lingzhu’s foot for a moment, they became infatuated instantly!

The moment Zhou Yan saw this breathtakingly perfect torso, he too was momentarily dumbfounded, then he felt his entire body heat up, his gaze turning intensely fiery in an instant.

However, his willpower was extremely strong.

Even though this woman was more beautiful than a Heavenly Immortal and he had a strong desire to possess and ravage, he would not do such a thing.

Caught off guard, his gaze still heatedly fixated on Feng Lingzhu’s body, but he refrained from taking any physical action.

“Ah—”

Feng Lingzhu panicked, her face turning somewhat pale, because here, she couldn’t open her Qiankun Ring, as her Spiritual Sense was unusable, preventing her from connecting with the Qiankun Ring.

Her Spirit Armor shattered, leaving her completely exposed without anything to hide her nudity.

“You, what are you looking at!”

Unable to cover her body, Feng Lingzhu felt as though she was being pricked all over, sensing that her every aspect was exposed under the other’s scrutinizing gaze.

“What am I looking at?

I am looking at a woman who offered herself up for me to see!

Just now, you were looking at my brother; now, I’ve seen your entire body.

We are even now, aren’t we?”

Zhou Yan said arrogantly.

As he spoke, his gaze still shamelessly wandered over Feng Lingzhu’s body.

Such a fervent gaze made it completely unbearable for Feng Lingzhu.

Her words, full of anger, burst forth, “You are shameless!

Can’t you be a bit decent and look away?”

“Men looking at women is natural.

Why shouldn’t I look?

It was you who ended up like this, not me who undressed you.

You have seen my shamelessness before when you saw me having a good time with your sister in the courtyard.

Besides, if it weren’t for me saving you, you would have suffered more than just being looked at!

From this perspective, should you not be grateful instead of accusing me?”

“You…”

Feng Lingzhu was taken aback; she knew Zhou Yan was unrestrained in his actions but didn’t expect him to so righteously articulate it!

However, it seemed everything he said was true!

She cursed him for being vile, for having no decency, yet he admitted these freely—what else was there to curse?

Would it even matter?

Feng Lingzhu unexpectedly felt agitated, and standing up straight, her expression cold, she said sharply, “I indeed should thank you, but if not for your mission, if not for your interruption, Pan Yuming and I would have captured Ji Taichong by now.

Once the plan succeeded, your mother wouldn’t be suffering now!

You know too little, so don’t be too self-righteous!

Overall, this incident was still your responsibility!”

“It seems that by saving you, I did the wrong thing.

Fine, I’ll just let Ji Taichong be healed so that you can continue dealing with him with whatever Pan Yuming.”

Zhou Yan said disdainfully, conjuring a surge of strength towards Ji Taichong.

Ji Taichong was suddenly stimulated, unable to regain consciousness, but his body instinctively started struggling violently.

Feng Lingzhu’s face changed, her expression turning somewhat panicky: “I was just being frank, but there were other reasons for the plan’s failure.

I hope you won’t speak of what happened here.

If so, I’ll accept that you saw me.”

Feng Lingzhu’s tone softened slightly, but Zhou Yan’s impression of her deteriorated further.

Hearing this, he responded without saying a word, but suddenly threw a set of ordinary Spirit Armor out of his Space Ring, his voice cold: “Fine, pretend that you are so noble that having this native look at you is a great fortune.

So, cover yourself up, because I can’t bear such a blessing any longer—looking too much might blind me.”

“You—”

Feng Lingzhu struggled to calm her heart, which suddenly flared with limitless anger; she felt Zhou Yan was completely irrational.

She instinctively accepted the Spirit Armor, and upon holding it, she knew immediately it was not ordinary.

Although it wasn’t precious, it would greatly protect her body here.

In that moment, she felt a vague sense of gratitude and move, but her nature didn’t allow her to express it.

Without hesitation, she sliced her finger, using her fresh blood to activate the Spirit Armor and wear it.

At this point, Feng Lingzhu suddenly recalled: without energy, how could Zhou Yan open the Qiankun Ring?

Curiosity welled up in her, but she refrained from asking.

After a few steps, she had silently approached not far behind Zhou Yan.

Once again clad in Spirit Armor, transforming into a light white gown, Feng Lingzhu still possessed an indescribable and appealing aura, certainly more captivating than Feng Lingqing.

However, a woman’s bad temper, no matter how beautiful she is, wouldn’t make a man who feels no love for her give her an extra glance.

At least, that was what Zhou Yan felt at that moment.

He had been very patient.

Were it not for the fact that he knew she and Pan Yuming had targeted Ji Taichong, and therefore he had remained indifferent to Ji Taichong’s attack on him, he would have wanted to kill this woman with his own hands.

He had considered Feng Lingqing’s thoughts and recognized that despite what Feng Ling Bamboo had done, one thing was certain—she had always been desperately striving for his mother, Li Yunjin.

Therefore, based on these aspects, Zhou Yan repeatedly suppressed his own rage.

But there was a limit to his patience; if Feng Ling Bamboo angered him again, Zhou Yan was sure that he would take action.

Fortunately, after giving up the Spirit Armor, Feng Ling Bamboo had calmed down.

The aloof and chilling aura she carried was also much subdued, and the atmosphere became somewhat relieved.

…

Zhou Yan was carrying Ji Taichong, this genius whom he had overpowered but who refused to wake from unconsciousness, and who was now in a very pitiable state.

However, the hall was large and there were many coffins.

Zhou Yan had been walking for several minutes and still had not reached the edge of the hall.

Yet, the aura of the Ancient Coffins he encountered grew increasingly profound.

Because it was quiet, the atmosphere seemed somewhat oppressive.

And because she lacked energy, Feng Ling Bamboo, this woman, finally showed a bit of her feminine nature—she began to feel afraid.

In the pitch-dark environment, ancient coffins occasionally appeared before her, as if housing terrible Evil Ghosts in their dark corners, gaping with wide, empty eyes, staring at her.

“Do not look back.

This place is filled with the extreme energy of death from the Tao of life.

Looking back will scatter your soul!”

Zhou Yan kept walking, his pace slowing significantly from initially fast to now slow.

“Mm!”

Feng Ling Bamboo nodded lightly, her voice slightly gentle as she agreed.

She also felt the creepy environment becoming increasingly terrifying.

At this moment, Zhou Yan’s words were undoubtedly crucial information, like a lifeline for a drowning person.

Instinctively, she believed since Zhou Yan had not harmed her under previous circumstances, he would not harm her here either.

Despite her extreme desire to look back at the ancient hall and the pair of evil eyes she felt behind her, she restrained herself after Zhou Yan’s warning.

Furthermore, along the way, Feng Ling Bamboo felt that as long as she obeyed, Zhou Yan wasn’t so crude or unscrupulous; in fact, he seemed quite decent.

At least, even after glimpsing her naked body and showing a moment of ardor, he did not exhibit any other abnormal behaviors.

Nor did he show any undue favors because of his abilities and charm.

He continued to act on his own accord.

Initially, she thought Zhou Yan was trying to attract attention deliberately, but after interacting with him, she realized it was actually his nature.

She suddenly thought of Zhou Wangchen, the “carefree and unrestrained” man she had met before.

Somehow, she faintly understood why the young miss had fallen hopelessly in love with such an unkempt man.

…

After walking for a while longer, although it was terrifying, they did not encounter any danger.

Even a few times, Zhou Yan’s footsteps were extremely erratic, like the text of the ancient Dao Runes.

Feng Ling Bamboo was somewhat uncertain, but after subsequently avoiding several life-threatening dangers, she suddenly realized that Zhou Yan was truly unfathomable!

It seemed his mastery of Arrays was no less than an Array Sword Cultivator Old Monster at the Sword Spirit Realm or perhaps even a stronger realm!

Thus, looking at the unwavering back of Zhou Yan ahead of her, she couldn’t help but harbor thoughts she herself couldn’t fully understand.

“Where are you taking him?”

Feng Ling Bamboo hesitated.

After crossing another hazardous area and feeling temporarily free from chilling auras and dangers, she finally asked.

“We’ve arrived where we are supposed to be.

This place should be an exit from the Ancient Forbidden Land.

But due to the Secret Technique of life and death in the Tao, this place is unique and requires strong Essence Blood to balance the energies of life and death.

Next, I will throw him into it.

The Ancient Array here will activate and automatically surge, causing Ji Taichong to explode from the massive energy impact and release Essence Blood, triggering a rebound from his guardian Secret Treasure.

Then, he will be severely injured or die, while we can use the energy released to escape from this place.”

Zhou Yan thought for a moment and decided to explain.

At this time, it would be more troublesome if this woman caused any chaos.

And it was rare that this prideful woman had been extremely obedient along the way, never straying from the direction he commanded, which amounted to significant trust in him.

Thus, Zhou Yan decided to explain.

Zhou Yan’s explanation impressed upon Feng Ling Bamboo the fact that he was proficient in ancient Arrays and had a significant impact on her.

But what puzzled Feng Ling Bamboo even more was whether Zhou Yan, while carrying Ji Taichong, had already thought of using Ji Taichong to fulfill the Array’s requirements?

If that was indeed the case…

then this man was incredibly ruthless and terrifying!
