Chapter 728: Yao Ji’s Hairpin (1/2)

Inside the valley.

“Give me a reason.” Feiyun stood among the flower field as high as his waist. Numerous large butterflies hovered nearby. In the distance was a waterfall.

This place was indeed beautiful. He clearly put some thoughts into finding a resting place for Bai Ruxue.

She stood in this place, more beautiful and sweeter than the flowers. Little petals were stuck on her white hair.

“None of this is my fault, you’re the one who caused all of this. I’m a woman who has lost her most precious thing, I’m not allowed to seek revenge? All I can do is endure? There’s no rule and logic in this world anyway, only a bigger fist. A woman can be nothing more than a sex slave, a trophy wife, or a trading commodity for man. Why should we accept this and can’t fight back?!” She had a proud and unyielding expression.

However, she was very nervous inside since she needed to move him in order to live, making him feel guilty and sympathetic.

“The needle moved a bit but this is far from enough for me to spare you.” Feiyun played with an orchid while answering.

She knew that this wasn’t enough so she got on her knees behind him. However, she still maintained a straight posture with a sliver of pride. She knew that weeping and groveling would only make him hate her more.

“I know that I have done many wrong things and schemed behind your back but this is all for revenge. All in all, I’m still your woman and you’re my only man. This will never change regardless of how deep our feud gets. If you spare me, I will be your servant for the rest of my life without uttering a single word of grievance. Moreover, I know many secrets about Senluo Temple. I will be able to strategize for you against them with full devotion.”

She first pointed out his wrongdoings before admitting her own in the humblest possible manner. Hard then soft in order to survive while telling him about her usefulness and that she was more than her beauty.

She carefully thought about her argument along the way while pinpointing Feiyun’s weakness. She even knew that he would give her a chance to speak, hence her meticulous statement.

He slightly frowned, not liking girls to kneel in front of them. They should only be laying in bed. A kneeling girl wasn’t sexy at all but this was indeed very effective.

“Not enough, why should I give you another chance? Convince me of this and I will spare your life.”

Bai Ruxue could tell that Feiyun didn’t like the kneeling act. She got back on her knees and calmly said: “I will swear an oath. If I ever have treacherous thoughts against you, I will die from nine tribulations.”

“What a shame, almost got me. Unfortunately, I do not trust the promise of a woman. Here, do it yourself. I will help if you can’t.” Feiyun tossed his weapon essence at her.

Bai Ruxue bit her lips. She still failed in the end. Any other man wouldn’t let a woman who had betrayed him live. They might even flay the girl or perform other torture acts. Feiyun was already merciful for giving her a chance to do it herself in addition to this peaceful place.

“Haha! I wish to guarantee her life. Your Excellency, please spare her.” A beautiful voice came from outside the valley.

Feiyun raised his hand and the weapon essence returned. He stared at the entrance, thinking that a great enemy was coming.

Someone who knew he had escaped on top of finding him right now? This person was no joke.

Bai Ruxue became ecstatic at this development. It looked like she might be saved after all.

A while later, four pretty girls carried a palanquin inside.

They were immaculate with flawless skin. They were engulfed in a yin presence. They were smiling and breathing with blood flowing in their veins. Even a Giant would mistake them for being alive.

However, when Feiyun activated his phoenix gaze, he noticed that they were mere corpses.

They used to be the prettiest woman in their respective generation - world-renowned and beloved by all. Numerous geniuses and lords courted them. Alas, they have turned into Corpse Evils.

Feiyun knew who it was right away - Yao Ji of Yinvoid Cave. The real question was - how could a top disciple there has access to these four powerful corpses?

Just their appearance alone was enough to kill many lords, far more frightening than Giants.

He put away his weapon essence and smiled faintly: “Yao Ji, I wonder about your identity more and more. How did you find me?”
