Lustful Depravity: The Villain system!-Chapter 26 - 3) The Black frost wasteland

"You claim not to be interested, then why haven't you left? Or perhaps you truly wish for me to take you to my house..." Zhao Fan added.

Bai Rouxi stiffened.

He was right.

She could have walked away at any moment, cut this game short, and left him with nothing but his arrogance. Yet, here she was, still engaged.

Ugh, what is this? She felt angry at herself.

She came here to ask, if he could go with them so, another powerful person could be added but... Now, she was here getting toyed.

Suppressing her inner shame, she looked at him.

"Fine, I accept I lost, let's stop it.."

She spoke with a proud tone, closing her eyes, looking all elegant and arrogant at the same time.

"Oh? How disappointing... And here I was serious about taking you home and having kids, but, since, Young Miss isn't comfortable, I won't talk much. Forgive me, if I overestimated my bounds," He said with a sinister glint in his eyes.

"But, I doubt Young Miss came to me for useless chat, I assume, you came here to recruit me to your team, if so, I refuse, however, if I can get a kiss from your cherry lips, mouth to mouth, I don't mind joining you... Of course, Kiss should be as long as it takes one incense to burn," He added.

Bai Rouxi: "..."

She was too stunned to speak anything.

Bai Rouxi's mind went blank for a moment. Did she hear him right?

This shameless bastard!

Her usual composure wavered as her face turned an even deeper shade of red. Zhao Fan was utterly brazen, completely unrestrained in his teasing.

Can't he act like a dignified young master?

She began to rethink the information on Zhao Fan.

Maybe, there is more to Zhao Fan.

He is cold and composed but, if you want to play, he will play.

"You..." she started, but words failed her. She clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly.

Then, she forced herself to regain her calm, her expression returning to its usual cold arrogance.

"Young Master Zhao, I fear you mistake me for some ordinary woman willing to entertain such ridiculous demands... "

Zhao Fan chuckled, taking a step closer. "Oh? And yet, you're still here... Young Miss can simply leave as you have my answer. I wish to explore alone,"

Bai Rouxi's jaw tightened.

This man! How could someone be so insufferably confident?

"You have a high opinion of yourself," she muttered.

Zhao Fan merely shrugged.

"I simply speak the truth. So, what will it be, Young Miss Bai? A simple kiss, or shall I watch from afar as you struggle without my assistance?

Sad, Life isn't fairytale, as you have come with geniuses of your family as your bodyguards, thus, I doubt, you will suffer making you realize the importance of me in your life,"

"Oh! I didn't expect Young Master to have such fantasies, however, I can accept your proposal, but, I will only kiss you after, I successfully get my hand on Calamity Ice lotus. Plus our families can be in a good alliance, I can even marry you, and after that, we can have as many kids as you want," She spoke in a gentle tone, tucking the strand of hair behind her ears.

"Oh? Yet, I doubt that, perhaps you're just testing the water, if I accept your offer, I came for something else, and If I reject your offer it means I came for Calamity Ice lotus, isn't that right?" He questioned.

"Also, your analysis, that my cultivation base might be hidden comes from my presence, isn't it? Because generally the clans and sects come in groups, but here I am, all alone. I am sorry, Young Miss Bai, but I can see through you, thus, I do not wish to entertain you any further, let the strongest take the calamity Ice lotus," He added.

"I hope, we won't cross paths,"

With that, Zhao Fan entered inside the frost wasteland, crossing the barrier.

Ughh!

Bai Rouxi stood frozen in place, watching Zhao Fan disappear beyond the frost barrier, gritting her teeth.

Her fingers twitched slightly, an unspoken frustration bubbling beneath her composed exterior.

This man... arrogant. Too arrogant.

But, he was not just arrogant.

He was sharp. Too sharp.

She had to admit it.

He didn't fall for the beauty trap.

He knows when to play and when to stop.

Not only had he seen through her intentions, but he had also turned the entire conversation into his own game.

She had thought she was the one probing him, yet in the end, it was she who had been exposed.

Was she that obvious? Not at all.

It's just him.

Taking a deep breath, she forced herself to calm down.

Fine. Let him be.

But she would not be outdone.

Zhao Fan was strong, but he was not the only one after the Calamity Ice Lotus.

The frost wasteland was a death trap for the unprepared, filled with extreme cold, hidden formations, and beasts mutated by the ice Qi.

Even if he was confident, he was still alone.

The world is the graveyard of talents.

...

"Young Miss, what should we do?" One of the Bai clan's elite guards stepped forward, his breath visible in the air, he was a scout, who went inside and came with information about the terrain,

"Do we chase after him?"

Bai Rouxi narrowed her eyes.

"No need, let him clear the path," Her voice was calm again, her earlier emotions locked away.

"Let him go. If he can take the Calamity Ice Lotus, then we'll deal with him later. If he can't... then the lotus will belong to us regardless, if he can't even reach there, then he can certainly clear the path, saving the world some trouble,"

She turned away from the frost barrier, her lips curving into an icy smirk.

"Besides... a man like him won't die so easily. We'll cross paths again soon enough, I think he will use the talisman or teleportation rune to escape when needed,"

————

Inside the Frost Wasteland, Zhao Fan moved swiftly, his steps light and precise as he navigated through the knee-deep snow.

Fuck, what is this place?

He can't even fly.

It seems this place doesn't allow flying.

Is this the heaven's will? How disgusting.

Also, the temperature was brutal.

Each breath felt like ice scraping against his lungs, and the air was dense with the suffocating chill of frost Qi.

It was negative 500.

But Zhao Fan's expression remained indifferent, he simply extended his hand, and a faint glow surrounded his fingertips.

The ice Qi in the air trembled before him, subtly parting to clear his path.

"Heh... this is nothing."

His lips curled into a sinister smirk.

Unlike others, he had not come here unprepared, he had few cards and if he failed, he could simply retreat and come back with more preparation.

Swish!

Swish!

The two Qi-gathering arrays, in his heart and navel, were activated.

He can simply absorb the cold qi and refine it into pure spiritual energy.

After all, he has the Dao harmony physique.
