Gong Wushuang still lay quietly, as if asleep. Her black hair, moved aside by Li Yi, revealed her face clearly. However, this face was nothing like the ordinary one he had seen before. Even in her unconscious state, Gong Wushuang looked extraordinarily beautiful. Her delicate face could rival any man's dream lover, with her slightly furrowed brows, pale lips gently biting her lower lip, as if even in unconsciousness she could feel pain.
"What the hell is going on!?" After a moment, Li Yi almost roared, puzzled and frustrated by the scene before him. This woman was certainly not the "Gong Wushuang" he had known. If not, why were her figure and clothes so familiar? Could she have used some disguise technique that had naturally undone itself in her unconscious state? Li Yi immediately thought of the most likely possibility, but this also made him more wary of the woman before him.
After taking a deep breath, Li Yi reached out and lifted Gong Wushuang's chin, examining her bewitchingly beautiful face. It was a waste to hide such a peerless beauty so deeply...
"Damn, how can this woman be so beautiful, bah, she's not a woman but a fairy... It's a pity to kill her... Should I take advantage first?" Li Yi muttered to himself, his feelings unclear, his heart strangely conflicted. Was it true that every man, despite previous hatred, would become restless upon seeing such beauty? He frowned as he looked at Gong Wushuang's brows, his heart growing more tempted. Of course, this had nothing to do with affection, just a man's instinct towards the opposite sex.
Hesitating for a moment, Li Yi couldn't help but reach out to stroke her cheek. The softness under his fingertips was almost irresistibly tempting... How many men could bring themselves to harm such a woman? After a moment of internal debate, Li Yi extended his fingertip, a wisp of Dou Qi swirling at its tip.
"Maybe I should first cripple this girl's Dou Qi, then enjoy her a few times, and sell her to Tianxiang Tower; she'd probably be the top courtesan... I guess she could earn me a few hundred gold coins a year, right?" Li Yi said through gritted teeth. His tone lacked the intense murderous intent from before, but it was unclear if he realized it, "But this woman obviously has an extraordinary background. Is such an action too inappropriate... Maybe after having my fun, I should just kill her to silence her? After all, it's not like I haven't done similar things before."
Li Yi hesitated for a long while but ultimately couldn't bring himself to do it. Although he was never a good person, committing such an act was not particularly honorable.
"Damn it, even if I want her, I can't just do it carelessly. This girl has caused me so much trouble; how can I let her off so easily? If I don't make her suffer more than death, then my name isn't Li Yi!" Li Yi sneered coldly, no longer hesitating, and struck a palm towards Gong Wushuang's chest.
Gong Wushuang groaned, the intense pain waking her from her unconsciousness. She felt pain all over her body, and remnants of Dou Qi on her wrist indicated someone had used a technique to lock her meridians, restricting her Dou Qi and causing her ribcage to fracture. Her ribs moved with her breath, continuously poking her already strained nerves.
She took a shallow breath, trying to use the little Dou Qi in her body to stabilize her chest injury, but was horrified to find she couldn't muster any strength at all, weaker even than a crippled person. How had she ended up in such a state? Memories of what happened before her unconsciousness flashed through her mind – the blood-red moon and the earth-shattering explosion made her break into a cold sweat. It seemed from the start, she had fallen into someone else's scheme, trying to retrieve the Martial Deity Remnant Jade, only to end up like this. Why? Was it because of the unexpected Baihu Dou Technique? With her strength as a King level fighter, she couldn't even withstand a single Baihu Dou Technique?
Thinking of this, her emotions surged, and she coughed up blood, her body growing weaker and almost fainting again. At that moment, she felt a mocking gaze upon her. She turned her eyes to see Li Yi standing at the cave entrance. Their eyes met, and sparks seemed to fly in the air.
Gong Wushuang's pale face showed a faint smile, "Little brother... I didn't expect you to play such a trick on your sister..."
Li Yi's eyes, filled with a dark shadow, scanned her boldly. After a moment, he smirked coldly, "Sister... Didn't you say you were going to give me, your little brother, some benefits? Is it time now?"
Their exchange of 'sister' and 'brother' seemed casual, but a subtle murderous intent had once again spread, causing a sour feeling in one's heart. Li Yi's words made Gong Wushuang pause slightly. She was confident in her "ordinary" appearance, not believing a man would be interested in her, perhaps not even a desperate one. But watching Li Yi's seemingly harmless face, she couldn't pinpoint her feelings. This ant-like creature, whom she thought she could crush with a finger, had brought her to such a plight – an indescribable feeling.
She coughed softly, struggling to swallow the blood in her mouth, and then forced a smile, "If little brother is interested, then why wouldn't sister give you a little advantage? But I guess you don't have the guts... If you dare touch me... I'm sure I don't need to teach you what the consequences will be, do I?" Li Yi fell silent for a moment, then chuckled as if he had heard the funniest thing in the world. Gong Wushuang was puzzled, not understanding what was going on in his mind. She watched him calmly, but her composure soon faded.
Li Yi slowly approached, lifting her chin gently with his right hand, then caressed it as if admiring a cherished object. His touch, cold like a serpent, made Gong Wushuang shiver, leaving her with an indescribable feeling. Finally, Li Yi's fingers slid slowly over her lips, smiling lightly, "Sister, your lips really are tantalizingly delicate!" Gong Wushuang's face changed slightly, and she scolded, "Bastard!" Li Yi was unfazed, merely lowering his head until their faces were nearly touching, their breaths mingling. Gong Wushuang could even feel Li Yi's breath being drawn into her, driving her almost to madness.
In her indignation, she shouted again, "You little scoundrel! You give me..." Her words were abruptly cut off as Li Yi's mouth covered hers, silencing her. As their lips met, she could say nothing. Li Yi's right hand slowly slid down, touching several sensitive spots on her body, occasionally pressing hard as if greatly interested. In such a situation, Gong Wushuang naturally felt no pleasure, struggling as she glared at him, unable to comprehend why things had taken this turn... Could it be that this scoundrel had such a depraved taste?
If she had been an unparalleled beauty, Gong Wushuang might have been somewhat prepared for such a situation, but given her current appearance... Unless this man had seen through something? But her disguise technique was a closely guarded secret of her sect, how could an ordinary person decipher it? If her true appearance were exposed, even a fool could guess the consequences.
As Li Yi's forceful kiss ended, Gong Wushuang had no answers to her swirling questions, but the mere possibility made her shiver. Tiny bloodstains appeared on her delicate lips, which Li Yi gently licked off, seemingly satisfied. He then lifted himself up, smiling lightly, "Sister, your lips really are sweet... I certainly wouldn't mind taking advantage of them again."
"But after taking advantage, I do have a question for you, sister," Li Yi continued with a smirk, "I wonder what method in the world could change your true appearance? It must be a kind of secret technique, not a Dou Technique, right? Would you like to teach it to me?" Gong Wushuang trembled, realizing her greatest secret was now exposed before this man, leaving her unable to imagine what would happen next. Men are men after all! She felt her heart stop, merely staring blankly at Li Yi.
Li Yi chuckled, "What's the matter, sister? Aren't you willing to teach me this technique in exchange for your freedom?" Gong Wushuang's face shifted slightly, and after a moment she said softly, "If I teach you, will you let me go?" Li Yi replied indifferently, "I, Li Yi, have no virtues, but the only one I have is keeping my word. If you teach me, I promise I won't kill you!"
Gong Wushuang sighed, "It's just that you won't kill me, right?" Li Yi laughed heartily, "You're indeed very clever! Correct, you're a King level fighter at such a young age, so you must have astonishing backing. Our current situation is irreconcilable. Letting you go is absolutely impossible. Even if I don't kill you, there are hundreds of ways to make you disappear without a trace... To put it plainly, your death is certain, but whether you die swiftly or suffer miserably, is entirely up to me."
Li Yi's words caused Gong Wushuang's lips to twitch, but even in such a state, her beauty was undeniable. Li Yi, admiring her, inspected her from top to bottom, then leaned in again. Gong Wushuang felt a sharp pain in her chest as Li Yi pinched her again. Her ribs were broken, but Li Yi continued to knead forcefully, eliciting an excruciating sensation. Yet, Li Yi's words had struck a chord in her, and suddenly, she remembered someone, gasping, "Li Yi! The Li Yi from Wanchao City!?"
Li Yi's mocking face approached again, his eyes flashing with surprise but still squeezing out a cold laugh, "You... know who I am?"
