Chapter 31 29. Sword Immortal Lady's Humiliating Defeat
"Miss Liu, don't move. If you dare spit on me when you turn your head, don't blame me for ruthlessly harming a beauty," he warned softly by her ear.
When Xu Yuan said this with a light laugh, Liu Ruoxue's struggling body suddenly quieted down.
"You truly are a despicable villain."
Her voice was calm and undisturbed, "You said we would meet later."
"I only mentioned 'later,' I never specified how long 'later' would be."
Feeling the delicate body in his arms, Xu Yuan remained very composed.
"However, do you think... this alone has subdued me?"
Liu Ruoxue's voice remained cold and proud, "So what if my back is exposed to you?"
"I know that the Treasure Garment you wear can withstand a full blow from a Core Formation cultivator."
Xu Yuan glanced at the hem of the young girl's dress, where patterns of mountains and rivers were embellished with spiritual light, faintly visible and ready to form into a Formation at any moment.
"But what if I were to break through from the inside?"
With a light chuckle, Xu Yuan's knee, which had been against her back, kicked smoothly and landed.
One leg was now wedged in between.
The two were already close, but now they seemed closer than ever, almost as if they were fused together.
Feeling the breath of the man near her earlobe, Liu Ruoxue couldn't help but blush slightly with annoyance.
This was the first time in her life she had had such close contact with a man.
She could feel something like a needle stabbing down from behind and slightly below her.
It was then she finally understood why he had initially pressed his knee against her back.
His real purpose wasn't to use his knee to prevent her from doing something.
It was to lift her skirt.
So that the needle hidden somewhere could take the opportunity to strike, preventing her Protective Magical Robe from being used.
"What is that?"
Liu Ruoxue asked.
At this moment, the scoundrel was hiding behind her. If she turned her head to unleash the Sword Pellet to attack him, he would detect it immediately. And with both her arms restrained, she suddenly felt as if she was stuck in mud, bound hand and foot, powerless.
"Ruyi Golden Lock Rod."
Xu Yuan said indifferently, "This rod adjusts its size and thickness as desired.
If the fairy insists on fighting with me,
then I can only insert the white rod and pull out the red rod."
"You?!"
"Moreover, the truth about that tragic event from years past... don't you want to know it?"
Xu Yuan smiled, "I can assure you, besides me and your master, there is no second person in the world who knows that truth."
Liu Ruoxue's expression wavered between red and white, her exquisitely beautiful brows furrowed tightly, causing him to feel a surge of distress, almost making him want to soothe them with his hand.
"Sigh—"
She let out a breath, her eyes sparkling brightly.
To any ordinary person, it might seem like she had come to a realization, deciding to no longer doubt her master.
But Xu Yuan knew, just how deeply this girl, known among players as Sword Immortal Lady in the game, valued the notion of affection.
It seemed she cultivated the Ruthless Dao and appeared indifferent to the safety of her junior sister and sect, but actually, she regarded her master, who was both a mentor and a mother figure, with utmost significance.
She pursued the truth of this matter not for revenge or hatred; she simply wanted to know what feelings her master, who had raised her for many years, truly had for her.
Was she merely using her, or did she really consider her as her own?
Wait a moment...
Xu Yuan suddenly sensed something amiss.
Previously when playing the game he hadn't paid much attention to the Sword Immortal Lady's circumstances, but now it seemed she was definitely a "latent" yandere? Lacking love, devoted love, beyond that, willing to give up everything.
Should he just kill her here outright?
Forget it...
He hesitated for a moment, but soon discarded the idea.
With Liu Ruoxue's potential, there was no need to be overly concerned.
Even if things turned out serious, he alone could suppress her easily.
Moreover, he still needed her help to find out who exactly was spreading that news.
Liu Ruoxue spoke softly, "Give me a reason to believe you."
Her voice was ethereal and crisp, almost returning to how it was when he first met her.
"Proof?"
Xu Yuan smiled slightly, "When your master took you up the mountain, you were only six years old."
"Not enough..."
Liu Ruoxue's eyes sparkled slightly, then she shook her head.
"She said, the person who annihilated your village years ago was completely killed by her, but in fact, one person survived."
Upon hearing this, Liu Ruoxue's clear eyes suddenly flashed brilliantly, her gaze rippling with countless waves, "Who is it? Where are they?"
"It's your turn to show sincerity, Fairy Liu."
Xu Yuan smiled faintly, his lips seemingly unintentionally brushing past her earlobe as he spoke.
"Come, spread your legs."
