Chapter 431: Chapter 431 Supreme Immortal Path (34)

While Xue Yuan was lost in fanciful thoughts, Chuzheng threatened coldly, “If you dare to run around without shoes again, I’ll break your legs.”

How dirty is that!

The young girl’s face showed little emotion.

Yet Xue Yuan felt a surge of fierce and ominous energy.

Immediately, Xue Yuan felt a bit cowardly, his gaze sweeping the surroundings until he spotted a path and scampered down it.

After running a distance, Xue Yuan leaned against a tree to catch his breath.

...

“Why should I, the great one, run?”

Xue Yuan was annoyed with himself.

He was a Fierce Beast, and an extremely fierce one at that.

Run for what!

Determined to regain his composure, Xue Yuan resolved not to flee next time they met and to reclaim his status as a Fierce Beast.

–

The Demon Clan kept disappearing, and finally, it was the turn of Ten-Miles Eight Mountains.

Several Demon Sprites patrolling at the foot of the mountain suddenly vanished without a trace.

If it were a normal day, perhaps they had fled on their own, but considering the recent intelligence, this was clearly not the case.

As the ruler in name of Ten-Miles Eight Mountains, it would have been remiss of Chuzheng not to address such an incident.

“Have you noticed anything unusual?”

Chuzheng stood at the suspected disappearance site, surveying her surroundings.

“No, we didn’t hear anything from above, so we came down for a look, and they were just gone.”

Although Chuzheng didn’t pay much attention to the news from Wanwu Inn, Tiger King couldn’t ignore it, and so the patrols in Ten-Miles Eight Mountains were exceptionally frequent.

According to other intel, the disappearances were always silent.

Chuzheng was irritated.

The backdrop began to roll, displaying ‘troublesome’.

“You’re making a ruckus here first thing in the morning, don’t you have anything better to do?”

A young man’s proud voice, with a hint of softness, sounded from above.

Chuzheng looked up to see Xue Yuan, lying on a tree branch, his head on his arm and his legs crossed. Beneath his black outfit, a pair of bare feet were visible.

Chuzheng: “…”

The little creature isn’t wearing shoes again!

“Xue, Xue Yuan, Your Excellency.” Tiger King’s voice trembled. When did this ancestor get up there? Hadn’t he been avoiding the ruler lately?

The ruler… had also said… Xue Yuan was unsatisfied…

Tiger King’s brain suddenly went off the rails.

Chuzheng’s gaze was cool: “What are you doing here?”

“I’ve always been here.”

Lately, he hadn’t dared to return to the mountain. At night, he wandered around its base, finding any spot to lie down for the night.

Tiger King: “Then… then did Your Excellency Xue Yuan see… see anything?”

Xue Yuan: “I saw it.”

Tiger King’s eyes lit up: “May I ask what Your Excellency Xue Yuan saw? How did they disappear?”

Xue Yuan gave him a sidelong glance.

The young man snorted coldly, both haughty and disgruntled: “Why should I tell you?”

Tiger King: “…”

The youth’s clothes fluttered as he gracefully landed, his red eyes gazing at the person in the center: “You want to know, I might incline to tell you.”

“No, I don’t want to.” Chuzheng refused coldly. As the boy looked on in slight astonishment, she retrieved a pair of shoes: “Wear them.”

Xue Yuan: “…”

Tiger King silently watched as Xue Yuan was pressured by Chuzheng to put on shoes.

When Xue Yuan’s threatening gaze turned his way, he decisively covered his eyes.

He hadn’t seen anything.

He hadn’t seen a thing.

Xue Yuan felt that his mating season wasn’t over yet because whenever Chuzheng approached him, he felt like…

The worst part was that he couldn’t help wanting to be near her.

“Don’t you really want to know?” Xue Yuan shifted his attention.

Chuzheng looked up at him, and Xue Yuan saw his own reflection in her pupils.

Those eyes were calm and indifferent, without a ripple.

Chuzheng lowered her head, not taking up the conversation.

Xue Yuan looked away, murmuring resentfully: “Last night, Demonic Qi appeared nearby, but I didn’t see anyone from the Demon Clan. Those Demon Sprites disappeared into thin air.”

“Only Demonic Qi?”

Xue Yuan glared at the Tiger King who had asked the question.

How dare he question me!

The youth’s eyes were inexplicably fierce, an intangible oppression enveloping the area. The Tiger King’s legs went soft from intimidation, he almost knelt before Xue Yuan.

The Tiger King, on the verge of tears, said, “Could it be the Demon Clan?”

“It’s not the Demon Clan,” Xue Yuan denied.

“…” How do you know that!

The Tiger King held back, not daring to ask, fearing Xue Yuan would “kill” him with another look.

Chuzheng did not sense any Demonic Qi nearby.

According to Xue Yuan, the Demonic Qi appeared, Xiao Yao disappeared, and then the Demonic Qi also vanished.

If Xue Yuan hadn’t witnessed it himself, probably no one would have noticed any Demonic Qi…

Now, there were no clues to follow.

After pondering for a while, Chuzheng said, “Let’s go back first, we’ll discuss it at night.”

Chuzheng pulled Xue Yuan along as they left. Xue Yuan, wearing shoes, walked awkwardly, wobbling as if he might fall at any moment.

Chuzheng reached out to support his waist before simply pulling him over and holding him.

Below, the Tiger King stood and could faintly hear Xue Yuan’s frustrated voice.

–

The moon hung high, the night cool as water.

Xue Yuan, feeling irritable, squatted in the bushes, casting occasional glances at Chuzheng beside him.

Chuzheng leaned against a tree; the moonlight filtered through the foliage, mottling her figure as if frosted with a cool layer.

Half of her face was hidden in the dark, revealing only a small portion of her side profile.

For the first time, Xue Yuan realized she was very pretty.

Not in an ostentatious way, but a restrained beauty that became more appealing the more you looked.

Xue Yuan’s mind was filled with her image.

I can’t think of her anymore!

Xue Yuan averted his gaze, forcing himself to calm down, “How do you know the culprit will come again?”

“There are many Demon Sprites in the Ten-Miles Eight Mountains,” Chuzheng replied calmly.

“…” The Demon Sprites of Ten-Miles Eight Mountains were more than many, they made him long to feast on them.

Just the thought of all those lively Demon Sprites hopping in front of him, and not being able to eat them, made Xue Yuan utterly irritable.

“But he may not show up here,” said Xue Yuan. “By the time you get there, he’s long gone.”

“Hmm.”

“Aren’t you worried?”

Chuzheng shook her head.

“I’ve realized…” Xue Yuan paused. “You are truly indifferent and cold-blooded!”

“Hmm.” Chuzheng agreed unabashedly.

She was indifferent and cold-blooded, so what?

The world was vast, everyone had their way of living, and she liked it this way.

Chuzheng remembered someone saying she only liked herself, cared only for herself…

Xue Yuan’s mouth twitched, “Aren’t you from the Divine Clan? Shouldn’t you be compassionate and care for all living beings?”

Having said this, Xue Yuan realized that Chuzheng was looking at him.

“I only care about you.” Others are not a Good Person Card; what’s the use of caring?

Xue Yuan’s heart started pounding uncontrollably.

After a long moment, he retorted dryly, “Are you saying you’ve taken a fancy to me!”

Chuzheng considered for a moment, “Hmm.”

The Good Person Card is mine after all!

No problem there!

Xue Yuan: “!!!”

Xue Yuan had to admit, at this moment, he felt a bit flustered with a hidden flutter in his heart.

“I, I am a Fierce Beast!” The youth brought out the aura of a fierce creature. “You’re from the Divine Clan, and you fancy me, have you gone mad?”

Chuzheng’s gaze was cool as she glanced at him, then suddenly walked towards him, pinched his chin, and pushed him against a tree, “Do you have a problem with that?”

Xue Yuan: “…”

I’m a Fierce Beast, damn it!

Super fierce!
