A bewitching voice drifted into Yi Fengâs ears, leaving him utterly stunned.
What the hell is going on?
Just moments ago, this woman looked like she was ready to kill someone, but after those two guys left, she pulled this stunt?
Those bare, smooth legs caught him completely off guard.
Though he wouldnât lose his mind over it, thereâs an old saying, isnât there?
Even the mightiest hero canât resist the charms of a beauty.
After all, he was a red-blooded manâhow could anyone endure this?
As Yi Feng was silently cursing in his mind, Mei Xian'er watched his dazed expression and curled her lips into a faint smirk.
She loved seeing men reduced to this helpless state in front of her.
Especially a man like Yi Fengâinteresting yet hard to conquerâit only fueled her desire to tame him.
Of course.
What amused her even more was how he clearly wanted her but didnât dare make a move. That was the most entertaining part.
âDo you want to?â she asked lazily.
Without waiting for his answer, she continued, âBut I know you donât dare.â
âNot that I blame you. After all, everyone knows Iâm the captain of Line Eight, a prominent figure of the Linglong Pavilion. Countless experts across the Heavenly Domain crave me.â
âIf you actually dared, word of today would spread, and youâd be hunted down within three days.â
âHeheâŠâ
Covering her mouth, she giggled, convinced she had Yi Feng by the throat, toying with him to avenge his earlier indifference.
This was the best way to crush a manâs pride.
Little fool, youâre no match for me.
However.
What she didnât expect was a hand suddenly gripping her delicate ankle, yanking her off the table, while another arm wrapped around her slender waist.
âHeheâŠâ
Seeing Yi Feng seemingly on the verge of losing control, Mei Xian'erâs laughter grew even more delighted.
Holding a grudge, she taunted him further, âDonât just talk the talkâcome on, show me what youâve got!â
She pressed herself against him, fingers teasing the fabric of his robes at his chest.
She was certain he was entranced but too intimidated by her status to act.
But reality.
Was nothing like she imagined.
âRipââ
The sound of tearing fabric echoed as a cold breeze swept over Mei Xian'er. Before she knew it, Yi Feng had tossed her onto the nearby bed and pinned her down beneath him.
âY-you⊠how dare you?!â
His sudden aggression shattered her illusion of control. She never expected Yi Feng to actually go through with it.
âWhy wouldnât I dare? Werenât you the one who said it?â Yi Feng retorted irritably.
âButâŠâ
She took a deep breath, forcing herself to stay calm and regain control. With a practiced smile, she reminded him, âI did say that, but you should think carefully. The consequences will be severe.â
âIf I spread word of this, your troubles will be endless. Three days of survival would be optimisticâyou might not even last one.â
âIs that so?â
Yi Feng paused, his hands stilling as he asked.
âOf course. Do you think Iâd lie?â
Mei Xian'er smirked, confident she had regained the upper hand. She rolled onto her side, facing him with a provocative grin. âIf youâve got the guts, then go ahead.â
âWords alone prove nothing. Evidence is what matters.â
With a wave of his hand, Yi Feng placed a jade slip recording the scene beside them.
âWhen you spread the news, make sure to include this. And donât even give me an hour to live.â
Another rip followed.
A cold gust swept over her as Mei Xian'erâs eyes widened in shock.
He recorded it?!
Glancing at the jade slip, she finally realized she had never been in controlâinstead, Yi Feng had been toying with her all along.
She knew she couldnât let this continue.
Otherwise, this brat might reallyâŠ
Her figure flickered like a ghost as she slipped away, reappearing nearby with fresh robes draped over her, as if nothing had happened. She chuckled lightly. âYoung Master Yi, I was just teasing you earlier. I hope you wonât take it to heart.â
Before she could finish, a force slammed into her.
Thud!
An over-the-shoulder throw sent her crashing onto the deck.
âDamn it, you got me all worked up just to say it was a joke? What kind of crap is this, you tease? Pah!â
Fuming, Yi Feng stormed off, leaving Mei Xian'er sprawled on the deck, utterly bewildered.
