765: Chapter 765: Yueyingâs Decision 765: Chapter 765: Yueyingâs Decision Amidst the tense gazes of the crowd, the dust in the arena gradually settled, revealing a scene that left the highlanders in shock, while Bai Yingshi and Bai Youâer, who had just emerged, were beaming with joy.
Lan Yueying, however, wore a complex expression.
Ye Fei stood proudly in the center, his twin swords now merged into one, resting on his shoulder.
The once invincible guardian of the highlands lay on the ground, his arms severed at the elbows, his spirit utterly broken.
Though he still clung to life, it was clear he was on the brink of death.
Ye Fei stepped forward, looking down at the fallen giant, and asked calmly, âSo, what do you have to say?â âDefeated by a better man, what more is there to say?
Give me a quick death!â The giant, once arrogant and tyrannical, had ruled the highlands like a king for years.
Though he never claimed to be invincible, he never imagined being defeated on his turf.
This loss stripped him of all his glory and pride.
With his arms destroyed and his meridians shattered, even if he survived, life would be a struggle.
Thus, he sought death.
Ye Fei nodded, lifted his massive sword, and with a light touch to the giantâs throat, ended his life.
Though the giantâs end seemed pitiful, Ye Fei felt no pity.
He knew that if he had been the one defeated, his fate would have been far worse.
In comparison, granting the giant a painless death was an act of mercy.
Witnessing Ye Feiâs actions, none in the crowd, including the three women, found him cruel.
As warriors, they understood the law of the jungle better than most.
Just as the giant had demanded Ye Fei kneel and apologize, even attempting to kill him over a few words, in the world of warriors, there was no room for reasoning.
The strongest fist commanded respect.
After dealing with the giant, Ye Fei didnât spare him another glance.
Instead, he raised his sword and pointed it at the giantâs followers, asking, âDoes anyone else wish to challenge me?â âNo, no!â they quickly shook their heads.
Some were the giantâs disciples, others were guardians from different parts of the highlands, but none were as powerful as the giant, let alone Ye Fei, who had just slain him.
They felt a hidden gratitude toward the young man, as they had never truly submitted to the highland guardian but were coerced by his might.
With the giant dead, they were finally free.
âIf not, then why arenât you leaving?â Ye Feiâs tone turned icy.
âPlanning to stay for breakfast?â Having witnessed Ye Feiâs strength, they had been eager to leave but waited for his permission.
Now, hearing his words, they scattered like startled birds.
âWait!â Ye Feiâs cold voice halted them.
Though they had already started to leave, they immediately stopped, knowing escape was impossible from such a formidable warrior.
Ye Fei pointed at the giantâs corpse.
âTake him with you.â Relieved, two of the giantâs disciples tremblingly approached, lifted the body, and quickly left with the others, fearing the unpredictable strongman might change his mind.
âClang!â As soon as they were out of sight, Ye Feiâs sword fell to the ground, and his body swayed, his face turning pale.
Bai Yingshi, who had been watching him closely, rushed forward to support him, asking anxiously, âWhatâs wrong?â âNothing, just exhausted.
Iâll be fine after some rest,â Ye Fei said with a smile.
âDonât worry, your husband isnât that fragile.â âEnough with the jokes!â Bai Yingshiâs face flushed with embarrassment.
Earlier, to prevent the situation from escalating, she had intentionally exaggerated her relationship with Ye Fei.
Now that it was over, his teasing made her uncomfortable.
Leaning against Bai Yingshi, Ye Fei savored the softness of her chest and continued to tease, âWhat joke?
You were the one who said it.
You canât take it back now.â Bai Yingshi, though shy, had already decided on him and didnât want to hide her feelings.
She sighed, âFine, I admit it.
Now stop talking and rest!
Youâer, come help me take him inside.â The last sentence was directed at Bai Youâer.
Though Bai Youâer was displeased that her master had fallen into Ye Feiâs clutches, she always obeyed her master.
Besides, Ye Fei had just saved her innocence, so she reluctantly helped Bai Yingshi carry him into the tent.
Watching Ye Fei and Bai Yingshi flirt, Lan Yueyingâs eyes flickered with complex emotions.
She knew this was her best, perhaps only, chance.
Ye Fei was weakened, barely more potent than an ordinary man, Bai Youâerâs martial skills were negligible, and Bai Yingshiâs focus was entirely on Ye Fei.
If she could suddenly attack Bai Yingshi and subdue her, she could force Ye Fei to return her son or even kill him.
Yet, for some reason, despite the thought, Lan Yueying didnât move.
As Bai Yingshi and Bai Youâer carried Ye Fei into the tent, she let out a long sigh, her legs giving way as she sat down.
Lan Yueyingâs every move hadnât escaped Ye Feiâs notice.
Though his energy and physical strength were nearly depleted, he wasnât as weak as he appeared.
At the very least, he still had some strength left.
After scaring off the giantâs followers, he began testing Lan Yueying.
Ye Fei was confident in his abilities.
Though Lan Yueying still harbored deep resentment toward him, he believed that last nightâs intense encounter had left a profound impression on her, both physically and mentally.
After all, the heights of ecstasy he had brought her were something few women experienced, and those who did often became addicted.
Lan Yueying, he believed, would be no exception.
Thus, he took this opportunity to gamble on her loyalty.
His gamble paid off.
Lan Yueying had indeed become infatuated with him, making her reluctant to act against him, which brought him immense satisfaction.
Of course, had Lan Yueying chosen to attack, Ye Fei wouldnât have hesitated to kill her.
No matter how stunning her appearance, how exquisite her body, or how alluring her so-called âsheepâs gutâ was, if she still harbored murderous intent, keeping her around would be a disaster.
While he wasnât afraid of her martial prowess, the thought of her harming the woman he loved was something he couldnât bear to risk.
If that happened, it would be a regret heâd carry forever.
