The Deepest Affection in Qin's Time

She gave Jingni, who stood expressionless to the side, a resentful look.

This woman knocked herself unconscious by repeatedly hitting her head with the scabbard of her sword.

This woman appeared aloof and harmless on the surface, but I never expected her to be so ruthless.

Even though he was already a half-step Grandmaster, he couldn't withstand it and was knocked unconscious.

Yan Lingji felt the stagnant internal energy within her body, finding it difficult to mobilize even a fraction of it, and couldn't help but frown slightly.

Something bad is about to happen...

"woke up?"

Cao Yuan walked in carrying a bowl of water, and smiled at Yan Lingji, saying, "Looks like I don't need to wake you up by splashing you."

Yan Lingji's lips twitched slightly, but she didn't say anything.

Because her mouth was stuffed with Cao Yuan's smelly socks, she couldn't even spit on Cao Yuan's face to wash it off!

Cao Yuan sat down opposite Yan Lingji with a nonchalant air.

He looked at Yan Lingji, who was bound up in an extremely alluring manner, and whether it was Li Wu's perverse sense of humor or not, he emphasized Yan Lingji's most prominent features.

With her curves in all the right places, she's incredibly alluring and sexy!

"What are you trying to do, sneaking into my place in the middle of the night?"

Yan Lingji looked at Cao Yuan, opened her mouth, but couldn't speak, only making muffled sounds.

Cao Yuan then noticed that Yan Lingji had his smelly sock stuffed in her mouth.

He couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Yan Lingji looked at Cao Yuan speechlessly, then a thought struck her. She suppressed the nausea in her mouth and showed no disgust. She slowly revealed a pitiful appearance, her temperament gradually becoming gentle and charming, and her eyes seemed to be filled with tenderness.

This acting skill... Cao Yuan couldn't help but admire Yan Lingji's performance. Zhang Wuji's mother was right.

"Plop~"

Like the sound of a bottle cork being pulled out, Cao Yuan pulled the smelly sock out of Yan Lingji's mouth.

"Ha-hoo, ha-hoo~"

Yan Lingji took deep breaths of fresh air, trying to expel all the stench from her mouth and expel all the foul air from her lungs.

A fungal infection in the lungs is not good... Cao Yuan looked at Yan Lingji, who was panting, and thought of a news story he had seen before, about a man who always liked to smell his socks after taking them off, and ended up being sent to the hospital.

I forgot whether it was a fungal infection of the lungs or bacterial conjunctivitis of the eye (my eyes had athlete's foot).

After a long while, Yan Lingji recovered and looked at Cao Yuan, Jing Ni, and Li Wu without saying a word, adopting a "I won't move unless the enemy moves" approach.

Cao Yuan scrutinized Yan Lingji and noticed that she resembled a great white shark.

However, compared to Lady Mingzhu, Yan Lingji is less alluring and mature, but more youthful and energetic, with a stronger sense of charm and coquettishness.

Girls like this are more likely to make young men want to date them, making them more passionate and reckless, and filling their minds with endless longing for a bright future.

Even though Yan Lingji has a somewhat wicked and quirky personality.

However, the gentle and passionate aura she exudes is enough to make people overlook her flaws.

After all, even the most awful beauty is still a beauty. Even if she's boxing with great power, to a fan of good looks, it looks like she's just being coquettish.

If she doesn't resemble a woman, then she's not beautiful, or the woman isn't beautiful enough.

Finally, Yan Lingji couldn't hold back any longer and opened her mouth uncomfortably.

"...What do you want to do to me?"

Cao Yuan couldn't help but laugh out loud, saying, "What do you think I can do to you?"

Seeing this, Li Wu, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Isn't she one of your lovers?"

Yan Lingji rolled her eyes and remained silent.

The devil is this little man's lover.

All in all, the time she's spent with Cao Yuan, from the moment they met until now, is less than a day.

To be precise, it only lasted for the brief time it takes to drink a cup of tea during the daytime confrontation.

Cao Yuan looked at Li Wu with amusement, "Who told you she's my lover?"

Li Wu was somewhat speechless.

When Cao Yuan returned, he didn't seem to mention that this woman was his lover.

However, judging from Cao Yuan's somewhat familiar tone when he spoke to Yan Lingji, she guessed that Yan Lingji must have some connection with Cao Yuan.

“Okay, I misunderstood…” Li Wu suddenly glanced at Cao Yuan, revealing her little tiger teeth, and said with a devilish smile, “So what do you plan to do with her? How about we kill her first, and I’ll clean up the mess and bury her?”

Yan Lingji's beautiful eyes widened instantly, and she subconsciously looked at Cao Yuan.

She had finally awakened the power of the Vermilion Bird clan's bloodline, greatly increasing her strength. Before she could properly experience the feeling of power, she didn't want to die, especially not in such a pathetic way!

Cao Yuan and Li Wu often have in-depth exchanges and communication, and they already have a great understanding of each other.

"Uh... well, wouldn't it be a bit of a waste to kill him? I've heard that there's a kind of witchcraft in Baiyue that can manipulate corpses. I happen to know someone who obtained the relevant secret techniques on the battlefield between Han Chu and Baiyue back then."

Yan Lingji shuddered, forcefully suppressing her inner unease.

Of course she knew that the Baiyue people had witchcraft that could manipulate corpses.

The hidden sorcerer she often mocked was an expert in this field.

The thought of being treated like that is terrifying; she'd rather be dead!

Li Wu and Cao Yuan continued to scare Yan Ling Ji, with one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop.

"That's too much trouble. She's quite strong. It would be better to poison her and make her obey."

Cao Yuan pretended to hesitate.

He had initially considered this plan, but considering that Yan Lingji's strength had already reached the half-step Grandmaster level, and that Li Wu's Heart-Locking Powder was not very effective against half-step Grandmasters, he simply gave up on it.

"Poisoning him..." Cao Yuan pondered, "Isn't that a bit too despicable..."

Yan Lingji screamed inwardly: Not despicable at all, just hurry up and poison me!

With her current strength, coupled with the special Vermilion Bird bloodline power within her, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she is immune to all poisons.

She had tried this with the King of Poisons.

Even the most powerful poisons of the Hundred Poisons King couldn't harm her at all.

This is the power of the Vermilion Bird bloodline!

Even though Yan Lingji desperately wanted Cao Yuan to poison her, she didn't show it on the surface. Instead, she pretended to be very scared, with a look of terror and despair, as if she was really afraid of being poisoned by Cao Yuan.

Unfortunately, to Yan Lingji's disappointment, Cao Yuan had no intention of poisoning her at first.

The only thing to blame is that Yan Lingji is too strong, and he doesn't have any poison that targets Grandmaster level cultivators.

In fact, as long as one reaches or comes into contact with the Grandmaster realm, one can use the power of heaven and earth to refine the spirit, cleanse the impurities in one's body, and expel toxins.

Therefore, to poison a grandmaster, one must use a specially made poison, and these poisons generally do not have the effect of controlling a person.

Jing Ni, who had been sitting silently to the side, suddenly spoke up: "Killing him would be a real waste. It would be better to sever his tendons and cripple his martial arts. Perfect timing, the manor needs a maid to do the heavy work."

Cao Yuan almost burst out laughing when he heard this.

He looked at Jingni, whose skin was as white as snow, and at her clear, beautiful eyes, which were like a pool of clear water. He found it extremely interesting.

He never expected Jing Ni to say such a thing.

Li Wu, never one to shy away from trouble, said, "Lord Jingni, what a great idea! I think it's feasible, but first we need to disfigure this girl to prevent her from seducing our men."

Yan Lingji looked at these exceptional men and women with tears welling up in her eyes.

What terrible things has she done to deserve this kind of torture?!

Cao Yuan coughed lightly and said to Yan Lingji in a serious tone, "Miss, why don't you choose one?"

Suppressing her anxiety, Yan Lingji gently turned her tender eyes, a hint of cunning flashing across them, and said in a seductive voice, "We Baiyue women have always been loyal to one man. Once we make a Baiyue vow, we will never betray him in this life."

She didn't directly ask Cao Yuan to poison her, but the implication was clear.

She wanted Cao Yuan to make her swear an oath, and then poison her. That way, Cao Yuan would be at ease and wouldn't suspect that she would betray him.

"really?"

Yan Lingji felt a slight joy upon hearing Cao Yuan's words.

But Cao Yuan's next words chilled her to the bone.

I don't believe it!

Yan Lingji was somewhat unwilling and said coquettishly, "If you're not at ease, you can poison me."

As she spoke, her eyes sparkled with a captivating and alluring charm, making her appear delicate and endearing.

It did not use the Fire Charm Technique, but it was three points better than the Fire Charm Technique.

Cao Yuan was certainly not tempted by Yan Lingji's charms; he wasn't some virgin who had never tasted anything before.

"Mmm~" Cao Yuan nodded repeatedly, which rekindled Yan Lingji's hope.

"It seems we can rule out the use of poison."

As soon as Cao Yuan finished speaking, Yan Lingji's alluring expression froze, a hint of astonishment flashed in her beautiful blue eyes, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her gorgeous face.

Are you kidding me?!

Cao Yuan looked at Yan Lingji's somewhat dazed expression and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

He seemed to be giving Yan Lingji a choice, but in reality, he just wanted her to eliminate the wrong answers.

It's obvious that Yan Ling Ji will choose the option that benefits her.

"...Kill me if you want! If I even flinch, I'm not a woman!"

Yan Lingji's expression instantly turned fierce as she glared at Cao Yuan, looking as if she were ready to die.

Even if she were incredibly stupid, she would eventually realize what was happening.

Cao Yuan, Jing Ni, and Li Wu were just playing with her!

If they really wanted to take action, they would have done it already. Why go through all this trouble?!
