“Hmm hmm~ Hmm hmm hmm”
In a luxurious private room on the 7th floor of the Phoenix Pavilion.
The ahoge girl sat at the long table, holding a cumin lamb skewer in one hand and a bottle of sparkling water from the Western Regions in the other. Her cheeks were stuffed full of food as she hummed happily. Before her, the long table was laden with a dazzling array of delicacies.
Fortunately, when they had returned to grandmother’s house earlier, Yunjin had been too distracted listening to Yino’s conversation with his grandparents to eat much, only having a bowl of millet porridge.
So when they arrived in Western Province City tonight, Yunjin’s tummy was soon growling. And as luck would have it, they were just in time for this sumptuous feast.
Little Yunjin had eaten cafeteria food at the Wuji Sect for three years. This was the first time in her life she’d enjoyed such an imperial-level banquet!
“The Pavilion Master is so generous~”
“Such a high-class dinner, I’m afraid a year’s worth of my commission fees wouldn’t be enough…”
“Later, I must have Yino properly thank the Pavilion Master!”
“I wonder when Young Master will finish talking… There’s so much delicious food, I can’t finish it all by myself. The dishes will get cold…”
“If only the little dear was here too, She definitely wouldn’t leave a single scrap of food!”
“After all… Divine Deer ate all the leftovers in Grandma’s freezer with great relish…”
The ahoge on top of the girl’s head swayed, and her previously cheerful mood drooped due to missing her friend.
Suddenly, she blinked, vaguely realizing that a dining sound seemed to be missing from the room.
“Huh?”
“Where did the black-clothed big sister who was secretly drinking just now go?”
…
…
…
On the top floor of the Pavilion, in the Noble Wood Chamber.
Yino noticed the black-clothed woman’s expression of anger mixed with confusion. He also vaguely sensed something amiss from the strange atmosphere in the room.
But having already flipped the table, Yino had no way to retreat now.
His left arm locked around the Pavilion Master’s neck, while his right hand still firmly pressed the dagger into her mouth as a threat.
At some point, the red-robed girl patted Yino’s arm:
“Mmph… mmph…”
She made muffled sounds of discomfort.
The girl raised her face, looking at Yino with pitiful eyes.
For a moment, Yino realized something.
He had just been interrogating her about Yunjin’s whereabouts, but now, with the tip lodged in the girl’s throat, even if she wanted to answer, she simply couldn’t speak.
Thinking of this, Yino couldn’t help but inwardly click his tongue.
-Tsk… I should have just held it to her neck instead-
Yino took a deep breath and raised his eyebrows to look at the black-clothed woman not far away. Although she had already drawn her sword, she hadn’t made any rash moves, just silently guarding the door and watching Yino who was holding the hostage.
“If anything happens to Yunjin, your Hundred Spirits Pavilion won’t be able to do business anymore in the future.” Find your next adventure on
Yino threatened coldly.
At the same time, Yino temporarily released the dagger, but then used his hand to pinch the girl’s mouth as she was about to gasp for breath–
“Do you understand, bitch?”
“Mmph…”
The red-robed girl’s delicate body trembled again, seeming particularly sensitive to the word bitch.
Only after she nodded frantically did Yino release her mouth and grasp the dagger again.
The blood-scaled dagger, coated with the sticky fluids secreted from inside the girl’s mouth, was slowly withdrawn, trailing glistening strands.
But just as dagger was halfway out, the red-robed girl’s expression suddenly changed, and she gave a cold smirk.
Before Yino could react, the girl suddenly leaned forward and bit down hard on the flat side of the dagger like a vicious dog–
Crunch!
Yino immediately sensed something was wrong and hurriedly tried to pull his dagger out of the girl’s mouth. But her bite force was terrifyingly strong, and in just a moment she had bitten through the blood-colored scales covering dagger.
Crack–!
As the scales shattered, the dark iron material of the dagger itself was even less able to withstand the bite, snapping in the girl’s mouth with a crisp sound.
“?!”
Such an absurd biting maneuver was indeed beyond Yino’s imagination, leaving him momentarily unable to react.
Yino tightened his grip on the girl’s neck even more, wanting to force her back onto the long chair, but this time, a dangerous glint flashed in the pale golden phoenix eyes of her crimson mask.
Ignoring the choking sensation of her neck being tightly squeezed, she raised her right hand and twisted her elbow joint backwards. Her beautiful nails, glowing with golden sacred marks, precisely grabbed Yino’s collar.
“Is this even a movement a human can make…?”
Yino hadn’t expected that with her neck being choked, not only did her body not go limp, but she was able to instantly unleash such agile action. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Now that Yino’s collar was grabbed by the girl’s backhand, he could only plant his feet firmly to wrestle with her.
“Is this the only move you know?”
“Didn’t your auntie teach you that when one’s cultivation reaches a certain level, they can sustain life with spiritual energy even without breathing for hours?”
Yino was already exerting as much force as he could to control her, even the veins on his left arm were bulging, but despite this, the red-robed girl whose neck was being choked merely gave a cold smile with her red lips, leaning back on the long chair with composure.
As her words fell, before Yino could react again, the girl’s left hand grasped Yino’s left arm while her right hand yanked his collar.
Beneath the red dress with its open slits, the girl’s jade feet suddenly exerted force. Golden phoenix patterns flared on her arches as her toes gripped the ground tightly, forcefully planting her left and right feet one in front of the other into the floor!
At the same time, the girl’s arms, which looked slender and weak, also exerted force simultaneously. Using the gripping power of her feet sunk into the ground as support, she suddenly had a fulcrum. Resisting Yino’s arm, she forcefully stood up from the long chair, and with an extremely bizarre shoulder throw posture, lifted the young man standing behind the long chair into the air.
-What the hell kind of monstrous strength!-
Yino’s eyes widened as the scene before him turned upside down.
Without a doubt, this was a standard shoulder throw!
Yino traced an elegant arc through the air, flipping over the girl’s head, and finally landed on his back, smashing a red sandalwood table.
Boom!!!
After a moment of silence, the floor also let out a groan.
Boom!
Another collapse sounded as the floor beneath Yino cracked and sank several inches.
The intense impact left Yino momentarily dazed.
He struggled to breath, instinctively wanting to sit up. But when Yino opened his eyes, he saw from his perspective on the floor a beautiful leg under a red dress–
“Agh!”
Behind the curtain, the red-robed girl reacted quickly, simply raising her leg and lightly stepping on Yino, pushing him back down flat.
Her foot stepped on Yino’s chest, but this time, the girl didn’t use enough force to crack the floor. She applied just enough pressure to prevent Yino from struggling to get up again.
“Young Master”
“Did you think the Pavilion Master could do business in contraband drugs for so many years in the Western Regions without any real skills?”
Her tone was light and mocking as she gave a cold laugh. The jade leg under her dress exerted force, but didn’t step hard enough to make Yino groan. Instead, she let her foot twist gently, rubbing back and forth across Yino’s chest in a teasing manner.
In just a moment, their positions had been reversed.
Now, Yino was pinned under the red-robed girl’s foot, while her phoenix eyes behind the crimson mask reflected playfulness, as if toying with a little dog.
Since Yino was lying with his head towards her, and the girl had raised her leg to step on his chest, Yino could vaguely see a pair of fair jade legs under her red dress.
Ding, ding , ding
As the girl’s jade foot continued to tease, the familiar sound of bells came again from Yino’s chest. Xinyao suddenly came to her senses, her phoenix eyes showing nervousness.
But when she looked down, she saw that Yino’s face was just covered by her red dress. From this angle, although he could peek under her skirt, he couldn’t see the jade foot and bells on his chest. Realizing this, Xinyao crouched down.
She kept one foot on Yino’s chest, and as she crouched, her entire red dress covered Yino’s face.
This scene made the black-clothed woman guarding the door blush slightly, unsure how to react.
However, Xinyao didn’t mind.
She used her crouching position on Yino’s face to block his vision, while also leaning forward to quietly remove the bells from her foot stepping on Yino’s chest. After doing this, Xinyao quietly put the bells into her storage ring, then curled her vermilion lips again and said in a playful tone:
“Young Master is so quiet, could it be you’re entranced by the view under this young lady’s skirt?”
“You…”
Yino’s face was covered by the red skirt, leaving him in a dark reddish shadow where he could see nothing except the pair of delicate jade legs under the girl’s dress.
“Young Master, did you see something nice?”
Xinyao put away the bells and stood up again.
This time, she circled around to adjust the angle, making the young man lying on the ground face the other way. This way, when Yino raised his head, he could just look up and meet Xinyao’s gaze.
