Chapter 419 (2/2)

He suddenly opened his crimson eyes and muttered, ”Master is still alive. I need to quickly return to the Bloodsin City. But master actually needed the help of a puny King to help break him free? Is that true? He is definitely in bad shape. I shall get the body of a Devil Saint as a gift for master.”

At that thought, he increased the speed at which he was absorbing the blood to accelerate his recovery.

...

About four hours later, Xiang Shaoyun finally woke up from his meditation. He had recovered much of his injuries. To the side, Lady Shura spoke respectfully, ”Please accept my apologies for offending you before, Young Master Xiang.”

Lady Shura had a high status in the Ghostface Sect and could be considered one of the sect's seeded geniuses. Even so, she did not dare to slight an honored guest of the sect master.

Xiang Shaoyun stood up, waved his hand and said, ”It's fine. Everything has been cleared up now. But you still need to give me some compensation.”

”What do you want, Young Master Xiang?” asked Lady Shura with a slight astonishment. She found it hard to believe that Xiang Shaoyun had just been roughed up by their sect master and that he was already blackmailing her so soon.

A crafty look appeared on Xiang Shaoyun's face as he said, ”How about you take your mask off and show me your face?”

”What? are you serious?” Lady Shura cried out in agitation.

”Why? What's so difficult about that? Are you too ashamed to show your face?” Xiang Shaoyun asked.

Lady Shura was a woman constantly radiating a s.e.x appeal, giving one an urge to conquer her. That was why Xiang Shaoyun wanted to take a look at her actual face. But he was completely aware of the responsibility he had to bear after seeing the face behind the mask.

Lady Shura narrowed her eyes and stared at Xiang Shaoyun for a bit before resolutely taking her mask off. Xiang Shaoyun was stunned. A tanned face was revealed before him, showing a pair of eyes with single eyelids. Her hair was draping gracefully behind her earlobes. Nose tall, lips thick, her facial features were in complete symmetry. If she did not have such thick lips to go with her tall nose, she wouldn't look as good.

Her face wasn't exactly flawless or fair, but what she had combined with her alluring figure presented a wild and exotic kind of beauty. Xiang Shaoyun had seen a lot of beauties, but this was his first time seeing a woman with this kind of beauty. He felt his blood boiling in excitement, an urge to conquer her rising up within him. It was pure l.u.s.t, not admiration or love.

”Are you done staring?” asked Lady Shura calmly.

Only then did Xiang Shaoyun recover his calm. He said, ”So beautiful. So tasteful.”

Lady Shura put her mask back on and spoke softly, ”The sect has a rule that those who have seen my face will either die or be my man, becoming a member of the sect. Since you are an honored guest of the sect, I can't kill you. So my only option now is to kill myself.” A dagger appeared in her hand, and she swept it toward her own neck.

”Wait! You can be my woman!” Xiang Shaoyun cried out.

”Your cultivation level is far lower than mine. You are not the kind of man I want,” Lady Shura rejected straightforwardly.
