Chapter 963: Chapter 960: Partners in Crime!

Li Chen and Ximen Qingxue had just ventured a hundred miles into Dragon Plateau when they suddenly felt a peculiar and eerie wind brushing their faces.

Ximen Qingxue shivered instinctively and looked around cautiously.

She then hurriedly caught up to Li Chen, a hint of seriousness on her face, and whispered, “I have a feeling… someone is watching us.”

“Squeak, squeak!”

The Lightning Weasel on Ximen Qingxue’s shoulder seemed to sense something as well, letting out a series of squeaks to echo its owner’s feelings.

Li Chen paused briefly, then nonchalantly replied, “It’s just a few petty villains. We don’t need to pay them any mind; let’s continue on our way. It’s best for them if they know what’s good for them, saving us the trouble.”

“If they don’t know what’s good for them and dare to step forward to block our way, then I don’t mind sending them to hell to atone for their sins!”

His tone was light and airy, but there was a cold, murderous intent in his words that sent chills down one’s spine.

Ximen Qingxue was worried that Li Chen didn’t understand the dangers of Dragon Plateau, fearing he was being overconfident and careless, so she wanted to warn him.

However, when she saw Li Chen’s confident and resolute expression, she swallowed her words, obediently following behind him as they continued on their journey.

Ximen Qingxue’s intuition was indeed correct; someone was watching them.

In fact, there was not just one person!

To be accurate, there were two people—a man and a woman.

The man was skinny and haggard, and also lame, holding a gold snake-like cane, with piercing eyes that made one shiver with fear.

If Ximen Qingxue were in front of him, she would instantly recognize his identity.

He was the most disgusting rapist in the Northern Territory, and even in the entire Jiuzhou Cultivation World—Golden Snake Playboy!

As for the woman, strictly speaking, she wasn’t human; she was a Cannibal Flower Demon who once devoured an Alchemist using her allure.

And the lustful Alchemist happened to carry a Transformation Pill, enabling her to transform into a human and take the name Huapi.

Later, by chance, she met Golden Snake Playboy when he was being chased to Dragon Plateau.

Golden Snake Playboy practiced an evil Yang supplementation Cultivation Technique that required absorbing women’s essence to enhance his power.

The Cannibal Flower Demon, on the other hand, required absorbing masculine energy from men to enhance her cultivation.

Initially, the two plotted against each other, each viewing the other as prey.

Yet after a bout of fighting, neither could overcome the other.

Thus, Golden Snake Playboy proposed a collaboration.

Although Cannibal Flower Demon wasn’t weak, she often suffered losses in the Dragon Plateau where experts were everywhere.

Therefore, when Golden Snake Playboy proposed a partnership, she readily agreed.

Thus, these two vile individuals joined forces, waiting for opportunities to hunt prey.

The captured prey—male ones were for the Cannibal Flower Demon, and females were handled by Golden Snake Playboy.

Both Golden Snake Playboy and Cannibal Flower Demon were no pushovers in terms of power.

Especially Golden Snake Playboy, cunning as a fox, ruthless as a snake, full of schemes, and with unparalleled movement technique, making even ordinary Nascent Soul Great Power unable to match his movement skills.

This was the very reason Golden Snake Playboy, with late-stage Golden Core cultivation, could repeatedly assault women, including Heavenly Pride Girls from Great Sects or even Elders’ Taoist couples and daughters, while still avoiding pursuit from Nascent Soul Great Power up to now.

Since they started collaborating, they’ve been almost unbeaten, no plan ever failing.

To those they targeted, none had managed to survive.

They believed this time would be no exception.

Li Chen and Ximen Qingxue, upon entering Dragon Plateau, were immediately targeted by Golden Snake Playboy and Cannibal Flower Demon.

“Wow, this time we have a pair of golden boy and jade girl; looks like we’re in for a treat!”

The Cannibal Flower Demon, watching Li Chen and Ximen Qingxue’s receding figures, licked her lips with her scarlet tongue.

Golden Snake Playboy, known for his caution, showed a hint of seriousness in his predatory eyes.

“I sense these two are not simple; we must act carefully to avoid calamity!”

Being cautious was another strength of Golden Snake Playboy.

After all, when alone, being careful is never a bad trait.

Like they say, it’s better to be safe than sorry!

However, the Cannibal Flower Demon paid no heed to this.

She covered her mouth and laughed eerily, “Oh dear, Lord, you’re too cautious. They’re just two Golden Core cultivators, not worth worrying about!”

“Let’s just use the old trick—I lure, you strike!”

Hearing the Cannibal Flower Demon’s suggestion, Golden Snake Playboy pondered briefly and agreed.

“Alright, go with the old trick.”

The old trick referred to the Cannibal Flower Demon using a Secret Technique to lure, using beauty to trap the prey into an Illusion Realm.

This trick rarely, if ever, failed.

However, it did have a fatal flaw.

The flaw was: the Cannibal Flower Demon’s current cultivation wasn’t strong enough, only able to enchant one target.

Moreover, it only worked on males.

As for females, unless they were lesbians, those with normal preferences were immune to her allure.

Thus, if there were more than two people, and a woman was present, the Cannibal Flower Demon would struggle, needing Golden Snake Playboy’s assistance.

If this method failed, the first to fall into danger would naturally be the bait Cannibal Flower Demon.

Golden Snake Playboy, providing support, could easily escape at any sign of trouble.

This was the main reason he nodded in agreement.

Of course, besides that, there was another significant reason;

Ximen Qingxue was as beautiful as Qingcheng, with an orchid in the secluded valley temperament, matchlessly independent.

Of all the women the Golden Snake Playboy had ravaged, even if not a thousand, certainly not less than eight hundred.

Yet none could compare to the stunning immortal before him.

He couldn’t help but fantasize about her incomparable beauty, utterly bewitching.

Thinking of the exquisite and soul-stirring experience, Golden Snake Playboy felt as if he were in paradise, his whole body tingling with uncontrollable excitement.

Before the Golden Snake Playboy, the Cannibal Flower Demon had already entrenched herself in the plateau.

In fact, she never left.

Other than a few forbidden areas, she had footprints almost everywhere on this plateau.

Therefore, taking a shortcut without any effort, she quickly got ahead of Li Chen and Ximen Qingxue.

There lay a marsh called Dragon Pan Water.

Its water source began at the dragon’s head and flowed to the dragon’s tail, spanning the entire plateau.

It was also where the Cannibal Flower Demon was born.

Setting up an ambush here was second nature to her, absolutely foolproof…
