Chapter 964: Chapter 961: Beauty Trap!

“Chen, look quickly, there’s the sound of water ahead!”

Throughout this journey, Ximen Qingxue always felt eyes watching them from behind, like thorns on her back.

As a result, she remained constantly alert, listening carefully. Any slight noise would trigger her inner tension.

The gurgling sound of water ahead naturally couldn’t escape her ears.

Li Chen, who was usually calm and unaffected, now appeared slightly tense.

“What’s wrong?”

Seeing Li Chen’s unusual expression, Ximen Qingxue blinked her eyes in confusion and asked.

“There are flowers!”

As soon as Li Chen finished speaking, he strode forward.

“Splash!”

Ahead, ripples suddenly spread across the Shui Ze.

Soon after, a graceful silhouette with a slender waist emerged from the stream.

She had her back to Li Chen, her skin whiter than snow. Under the shimmering water, it was dim and bright, vaguely tinged with an eerie shade.

As Li Chen moved deeper into the Shui Ze, each step splashed water, creating endless ripples.

Seeing Li Chen’s strange expression and vacant eyes, and recalling him mentioning seeing a flower, Ximen Qingxue was suddenly on edge.

Cannibal Flower Demon!

This flower blooms beside Dragon Water and can confuse one’s mind. It traps its prey, leaving them ensnared.

And this waterway before them was Dragon Pan Water.

Li Chen was exceptionally gifted, with a myriad of Divine Skills.

But in Ximen Qingxue’s eyes, he had a fatal flaw.

To put it nicely, he was flirtatious by nature.

To put it bluntly, he was insatiably lustful.

Otherwise, how would Li Chen be surrounded by so many beautiful girls?

As far as Ximen Qingxue knew, there were more than just a couple of women with ambiguous relationships with Li Chen.

Seducing with beauty was indeed a specialty of the Cannibal Flower Demon.

To see Li Chen ensnared was not surprising to her.

Upon realising this, Ximen Qingxue’s mind was thrown into chaos. She hurriedly shouted Li Chen’s name, hoping to wake him up in this manner.

“Li Chen, Li Chen, don’t go forward. That’s a Cannibal Flower Demon, it’s a Cannibal Flower Demon!”

However, despite Ximen Qingxue’s warning, Li Chen turned a deaf ear, still walking forward with vacant eyes.

Seeing her warning falling on deaf ears, Ximen Qingxue stomped her foot anxiously.

After cursing Li Chen thoroughly in her mind, she rushed forward, intending to pull him back to the riverbank.

“Li Chen!”

However, just as her hand touched Li Chen’s shoulder, she was pushed straight to the ground, falling into the water, drenched and looking quite pitiful.

By the time she stood up again, Li Chen had already reached the Cannibal Flower Demon.

One must admit, the Cannibal Flower Demon was very beautiful, exuding an enchanting allure. Even eunuchs would feel an inexplicable urge upon seeing her.

Seeing her scheme succeed, the Cannibal Flower Demon curled her lips into a wicked smile.

Her snake-like arms suddenly wrapped around Li Chen’s neck, and she whispered eerily, “Master, tell me, am I beautiful?”

“Beautiful, but…”

Upon hearing Li Chen’s sudden change of tone, the Cannibal Flower Demon was immediately taken aback.

She could even distinctly hear her own heartbeat, thumping as if it might leap out at any moment.

Yet, before she could react, a smile more sinister than hers appeared on Li Chen’s lips.

“But, you shouldn’t be resting in my arms!”

Seeing the smile on Li Chen’s lips broke the Cannibal Flower Demon’s last illusion. Her heart pounded with panic, overwhelmed by a single thought.

Trapped, escape now!

However, how could Li Chen give her such a chance?

Before the Cannibal Flower Demon could act, Li Chen flicked his fingers, turning into a Light Blade that pierced through her supple body.

“You, you, you weren’t trapped by my Charming Technique?”

Clutching her bleeding wound, the Cannibal Flower Demon was incredulous.

She couldn’t believe her Bewitching Technique, which had never failed, would falter here.

With a mischievous smile, Li Chen clapped his hands in response, “But just a petty trick; to lure me in, you’re still far from adequate!”

“Then why did you…”

The Cannibal Flower Demon wanted to ask Li Chen why he pretended to be enchanted if he wasn’t tricked.

But Li Chen’s earlier Light Blade had pierced her Life Gate, and she could only utter three words before blood surged in her throat, painting the sky red.

Li Chen seemed to have read the Cannibal Flower Demon’s mind, knowing what she wanted to ask, and replied with a cold smile, “If I hadn’t played along, how would you have so easily fallen into my trap?”

A Saint once said:

When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes back at you.

The same principle applies!

While plotting against others, others are plotting against you too!

“Despicable!”

The Cannibal Flower Demon gritted her teeth, uttering her last words in life.

Before she even finished her sentence, a flame suddenly gathered at Li Chen’s fingertips, like a blooming red lotus.

With a flick of his fingers, the flame landed on the Cannibal Flower Demon.

The flame ignited upon contact with blood, and in the blink of an eye, it burned the Cannibal Flower Demon to her true form.

Quickly, her branches and stems lost their vitality, withering until they turned to ash, utterly dissipating.

Seeing that Li Chen wasn’t seduced by the Cannibal Flower Demon but had set a trap for her, Ximen Qingxue’s heart finally settled back in her chest.

The entire event took just a few breaths.

But for Ximen Qingxue, it felt like centuries had passed.

So when the plot took an unexpected 180-degree turn, she felt a sense of surreal exhaustion.

“Li Chen!”

Ximen Qingxue called out to Li Chen’s figure, wanting to rush over and embrace him tightly.

Sudden!

In an instant, a cold wind rose.

The eerie sound of the wind was like thousands of wailing spirits crying simultaneously, sending shivers down one’s spine.

Ximen Qingxue shuddered involuntarily!

“Swish!”

A ghostly figure broke the sound barrier, reaching a terrifying speed of 30 times the speed of sound, and reached for Ximen Qingxue.

The attacker was none other than the Golden Snake Playboy!

Seeing Ximen Qingxue’s unrivaled beauty, he lustfully schemed to capture her by surprise. He planned to use his movement technique to swiftly escape to a safe location, where he could enjoy such a rare beauty at leisure.

One must admit, his vision was sharp, and his timing impeccable.

All of Ximen Qingxue’s attention was on Li Chen, unaware of the hidden assailant.

Therefore, she was completely unprepared, allowing the Golden Snake Playboy to seize her tender shoulders tightly.

However, the Golden Snake Playboy overlooked one small creature.

That was the Lightning Weasel!

“Chirp chirp!”

The Golden Snake Playboy was fast, but the Lightning Weasel was even faster!

So, just as the Golden Snake Playboy seized Ximen Qingxue, about to take her away, the Lightning Weasel’s claws, sharp as lightning, scratched swiftly.

“Tear!”

On the Golden Snake Playboy’s once-handsome face, three bloody claw marks appeared, deep enough to reveal bone, with signs of being scorched by lightning, causing him unbearable pain…
