Chapter 608: Plight
Hu Han didn’t have a single piece of cloth to cover herself as she knelt before Nie Tian. The curves of her back and bottom were very tempting.
She bowed her head and didn’t dare to meet Nie Tian’s gaze. She was barely able to cover her breasts with her crossed, slightly trembling arms. Even so, a large proportion of her milky white breasts were shown.
Cheeks flushed, she looked like a beautiful flower waiting to be picked.
Nie Tian, however, gazed coldly at her as he walked up to her. He stopped before her and didn’t utter a word.
Hu Han’s appearance was only slightly above average. Even Ye Qin and Qin Yan were more beautiful than her, not to mention Dong Li or Pei Qiqi, who possessed city-felling beauty.
Nie Tian knew that she had betrayed him to save her younger brother. However, Ma Jiu had cut off her brother’s fingers anyways.
Seeing that Nie Tian wasn’t talking, Hu Han felt increasingly nervous. She couldn’t help looking up at Nie Tian, but all she could see in Nie Tian’s eyes was coldness. Not a shred of desire could be seen.
With a sorrowful sigh, she said, “I know that, considering your status, you must have met many beautiful, young women. Clearly, I can’t compete with them, but I... I’ve preserved myself all these years. In order to save my younger brother, I sold out many others, and did many terrible things, but I never sold myself.”
After a short pause, she added, “I’m still... clean.”
Nie Tian frowned slightly.
He had expected that Hu Han must have abandoned all her principles to save her brother, and had thus been with many men over the years. He had never expected that she actually had a line that she wouldn’t cross.
“If you’ve already saved yourself this long, why would you spoil your chastity now?” Nie Tian asked curiously.
“Because I’ve run out of things I can offer,” Hu Han said bitterly. “Back when I was with the Dark Moon, I was at the middle Greater Heaven stage, and I knew something about equipment forging, so I had my value. Later, they arranged for me to be their spy by Li Ye’s side.
“Even though you managed to escape from the Void Illusion Mountain Range, my capability was acknowledged, since I managed to trick you into the Void Illusion Mountain Range.
“Soon after that incident, I entered the late Greater Heaven stage, and started to work for the Wild Fire in secret. With their help, I finally rescued my younger brother from the Dark Moon.
“Afterwards, I became a guest elder of the Wild Fire, and because of that, my brother and I established a foothold in Ash City.”
With these words, she sighed again. “I was somewhat useful to the Dark Moon or the Wild Fire, but to you... I really don’t know how I can prove myself to be useful...”
She knew that Nie Tian didn’t have his own gang, and thus wasn’t in need of a subordinate.
The little equipment forging knowledge she had could be considered useful by the Wild Fire or the Dark Moon, but Nie Tian had Li Ye and Master Zhen. How would he value her shallow equipment forging skills?
Furthermore, she was only at the late Greater Heaven stage. With the Bone Blood Demon and Li Langfeng by his side, Nie Tian didn’t have any reason to value her battle prowess.
She wracked her mind, and came to the conclusion that her undefiled body was the only valuable thing she had.
Considering the perilous environment of the Realm of Split Void, even if they didn’t encounter any outsiders or mutant spirit beasts, they might not be able to hold on for a long time.
Since she had almost gotten Nie Tian killed before, she could only try to buy her younger brother’s life with her body.
Eyebrows furrowed, Nie Tian said slowly, “Put your clothes back on.”
Hu Han looked up at him, confused.
“It would be easy for me to kill you, but I doubt that killing you would make me feel any better. As for your offer, keep it. I don’t want it like this.”
Hu Han’s eyes lit up as she swiftly gathered her garments from the ground and put them on. Then, she stood respectfully before Nie Tian and said, “I’m still yours to take whenever you like. I’m willing to do anything else as well, to repay your kindness.”
With a snort, Nie Tian asked, “What can you do for me?”
“I... I...” Hu Han didn’t know what to say.
“You may leave now. I don’t need you to do things for me.” Nie Tian waved his hand, signalling for her to leave.
“My brother...” Hu Han wanted to say something, but stopped on second thought.
“He’s your brother. Keep him safe if you can.” Nie Tian sounded somewhat impatient.
Then, he called out to Li Langfeng, “Tell Fu Heng to come and see me.”
“Sure,” Li Langfeng answered from afar.
Shortly afterwards, Li Langfeng brought Fu Heng to Nie Tian. A strange look appeared in Fu Heng’s eyes as he saw Hu Han.
However, he quickly withdrew his gaze and greeted Nie Tian. With a imploring tone, he said, “Please let us stay with you, Nie Tian.”
“I’m not a member of the Wild Fire, so I don’t have a duty to keep you safe,” Nie Tian said indifferently.
He didn’t seem to care that Hu Han still hadn’t left as he asked, “You have a Sound Stone that you can use to contact other survivors, right?”
Fu Heng nodded. “Yes, I do.”
