“Haha! Here it is, found it! I knew Junior Sister would definitely carry it on her person, and sure enough!” Senior Brother Lu exclaimed ecstatically as he rummaged through the pile of items and pulled out a small red wooden box.
The lid of the box was already open, but Han Li couldn’t see what was inside due to his angle of view. His curiosity grew stronger, yet he dared not make any rash moves.
After all, the guy across from him was so ruthless that he would even harm his own female companion. If Han Li, this so-called “Junior Brother,” were discovered, the man would undoubtedly try to silence him permanently, leaving no room for survival.
Moreover, Han Li had personally witnessed the power of the other’s wind-attribute spells. Whether in offense or defense, they were incredibly sharp—far beyond what someone like him, who only knew a few amateurish spells, could match. What’s more, the other’s spiritual power was much deeper than his, likely around the mid-twelfth layer. In terms of both spells and spiritual power, Han Li was clearly at a disadvantage, and it seemed he stood little chance of winning.
That said, Han Li believed that if he were to fight with everything he had, he could still hold his own against the other. After all, his original magical instruments, combined with the newly acquired ones, were nothing to scoff at. If it came to a fight, it was hard to say who would end up killing whom.
However, Han Li had no interest in risking his life for some heroic rescue act. After all, this “Junior Sister Chen” was neither related nor acquainted with him. It was her own poor judgment that led her to mistake a wolf in sheep’s clothing for a lover and willingly walk into this trap. Who could she blame? Han Li had no intention of risking his life for her without good reason—he simply wasn’t that noble.
So, he planned to quietly watch this drama unfold to its conclusion and then go his separate ways with this “Senior Brother Lu,” each minding their own business. Of course, Han Li would definitely keep a closer eye on this “Senior Brother Lu” in the future. After all, he had never encountered someone so cruel and ruthless before. When it came to heartlessness, Han Li had to admit defeat.
With this in mind, Han Li quietly activated the Qi Concealment Technique he had recently learned, fearing that the other might inadvertently sense his presence and force him into a life-or-death battle.
At that moment, “Senior Brother Lu” placed the wooden box into his storage pouch, let out a few lewd chuckles, and once again approached “Junior Sister Chen.”
Excitedly, he continued tearing at the woman’s clothes while muttering to himself, revealing all his inner thoughts. The words sent chills down Han Li’s spine as he listened from his hiding spot.
“Junior Sister, don’t blame me! I had no choice in this matter. You see, that willful Dong girl personally said that if I completely cut ties with you and, after reaching Foundation Establishment, enter a dual cultivation relationship with her, she would beg her grandaunt—Elder Hong Fu—to personally take me in as a disciple and teach me earth-shattering divine abilities. This is a heaven-sent opportunity to soar to greatness! I really didn’t want to miss it, so I had no choice but to wrong you, Junior Sister.”
Lying on the ground, “Junior Sister Chen” glared at him with fiery eyes. Upon hearing his heartless words, she trembled with rage, wishing she could sit up immediately and rush over to bite this heartless man a few times to vent her hatred.
Unfortunately, this fickle lover had already bound her entire body with the “Wind Binding Technique,” leaving her completely immobilized. She couldn’t even open her mouth to curse, forced to submit to his whims.
But the next words from this unfaithful man made her limbs turn cold, nearly causing her to faint from anger.
“Ahem! If you weren’t the only daughter of the Chen family head, I might have considered letting you live. But I’m truly afraid that your love will turn to hatred, and you’ll use the Chen family’s power to seek revenge on me and spread this matter everywhere, ruining my reputation. I’ve heard that Elder Hong Fu despises fickle and heartless men the most. So, for the sake of my future and my reputation, Junior Sister, it’s better if you disappear from this world! Surely no one will suspect me, given how deeply in love we used to be!” Senior Brother Lu said hypocritically, though his hands never stopped moving. In the blink of an eye, “Junior Sister Chen’s” clothes were completely torn away, leaving her fully exposed.
“Senior Brother Lu” gazed at the scene before him, his eyes gleaming with lust. His fingers began to slowly glide over her smooth skin, assuming a lecherous expression as he continued, “But what really excites me is that, like me, you still have a Foundation Establishment Pill unused. I suppose you were planning to wait until your foundational cultivation was perfected before taking it. After all, doing so increases the chances of successful Foundation Establishment.” He clicked his tongue approvingly.
“However, since you’re already giving your pure body to me, I doubt you’d begrudge me this Foundation Establishment Pill! I was a bit worried that taking just one pill might not be enough to ensure successful Foundation Establishment. After all, even those with special spiritual roots often fail. But now, with your pill, Foundation Establishment is absolutely guaranteed.”
As he spoke, “Senior Brother Lu” withdrew his hands and retrieved the wooden box he had just put away, along with a blue porcelain vial. He looked them over left and right, a smug expression on his face.
Hidden behind the rocks, Han Li, who had overheard everything, felt his mind stirring.
The appearance of Foundation Establishment Pills—two of them, no less—was an immense temptation for him.
After all, wasn’t the reason he planned to participate in the Bloody Trial precisely for a Foundation Establishment Pill? If he could obtain one without taking such a tremendous risk, he was more than willing to give it a try.
With this thought, Han Li focused intently on observing “Senior Brother Lu’s” every move. If the other showed any opening, he would not hesitate to strike immediately, kill him, and seize the two Foundation Establishment Pills.
At that moment, “Junior Sister Chen” began to show unusual symptoms. The look of resentment on her face gradually faded, replaced by a dazed, intoxicated expression. Her exposed skin took on a pinkish hue, and her fragrant lips trembled slightly, though no sound emerged.
Hehe! It seems the Joyful Union Pill is taking effect. Junior Sister must be suffering immensely now. To repay your great kindness, I’ll have to work hard to let you experience the feeling of ecstasy. This should也算对得起 our past affections.
“Senior Brother Lu” shamelessly muttered to himself as he put away the items in his hands and began fumbling with his belt, seemingly preparing to undress and indulge in his depraved desires.
Seeing this, Han Li’s mind raced. If he launched his attack while “Senior Brother Lu” was undressed, the other would likely be flustered, increasing the chances of a successful strike.
The more Han Li thought about it, the more convinced he became that this plan had a high chance of success. He paid even closer attention to “Senior Brother Lu” and instinctively glanced at the other’s face a few times.
“Something’s wrong.”
After a few glances, Han Li immediately noticed the problem.
Although “Senior Brother Lu” was busily undoing his belt, he was taking an unusually long time. The belt remained firmly in place, not loosened in the slightest. Even more strangely, while his face showed an expression of urgent lust, his eyes were clear and calm, with a hint of a cold smile hidden within.
Han Li’s heart sank. This seemed far too abnormal. His guard shot up, and he quickly expanded his spiritual sense to its fullest extent while pulling out a “Water Shield” talisman and clutching it in his palm.
No sooner had he done this than Han Li suddenly sensed something silently flying toward him from the left. If he hadn’t expanded his spiritual sense, he likely wouldn’t have noticed it at all, filling him with shock and anger.
Without hesitation, Han Li slapped the talisman onto himself, and a layer of azure light immediately enveloped him. At that moment, a green rope-like object swiftly coiled toward him but was blocked just in time by the blue light.
“Huh!”
“Hmph!”
“Senior Brother Lu” and Han Li made sounds simultaneously. The former was surprised that his sneak attack had failed, while the latter was shocked and angered by the other’s cunning and nearly falling into his trap.
“Well, well! Such quick reflexes. It seems you’re not simple at all! However, since you’ve been watching for so long, shouldn’t you come out and have a chat with me, Brother Lu?” “Senior Brother Lu” beckoned, and the green rope flew back into his hand. He then spoke coldly and unhurriedly toward Han Li’s hiding spot, clearly having discovered his presence long ago.
