Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Blue Wave painfully closed his eyes. He had been utterly mistaken. If he had known this earlier, he wouldn’t have needed to flee…

But what a pity, there were no what ifs in this world, nor were there chances to correct one’s mistake.

If he missed out he had missed out!

With two Demon Commander guards protecting her, even if a Demon Commander level red-eye demon came, she would more or less be able to retreat alive.

What to do?

His actions just now had completely offended her. If he let Feature escape today, she would definitely make things hard for him in the future.

If it was the same Feature from before, then even if he offended her he wouldn’t feel dread.

After all, his big brother was the City Lord of Adversity Peak City, a Demon Commander with a limitless future. There was also the powerful royal family that backed them.

But now, two Demon Commanders were nothing but servants in front of Feature. If this was the reality…just how terrifying was her true status?

He simply didn’t dare to imagine!

He feared she came from one of the peak powerful royal families in the abyss, and likely one that had a gloriously long inheritance.

At that time, even his brother wouldn’t be able to protect him. He might even be drawn into this trouble.

Beg for mercy? Try to obtain her sympathy?

No, that was impossible!

This woman was no fool. After what happened just now, she would never believe his honeyed words.

Then there was only one way…he had to ensure all these people stayed here and never left. Only then would all his troubles be solved.

Blue Wave’s complexion changed. All sorts of fierce emotions clashed on his face. Finally, he took a deep breath, a frenzied callousness in his eyes.

If people didn’t rely on themselves they would be punished by the heavens and earth…I didn’t want to do this but I have nothing else I can do….it’s you who was wrong…it’s you who was wrong…!

He lowered his head and then looked back up.

After hiding all of his emotions, Blue Wave put on an embarrassed expression and stepped forward. “Miss Feature, I was the one who had eyes but couldn’t see. Please forgive my mistake.”

Women were relatively strange beings. No matter how much they hated and loathed a person, they wouldn’t immediately kill them. They would vent all of their pain and suffering on that person and only sentence them to death once they had suffered enough.

Simply put, there was a period of time before dying and death.

What Blue Wave needed was this time…or to be exact, a chance to approach Feature…as for whether he had to lose face or humiliate himself, what did it matter in the face of death?

…

Women were natural actresses and had a strong ability to bluff. This was something that Qin Yu already knew about. But even so, he still trembled in surprise and couldn’t help but stare at Feature’s performance in the next two seconds.

How to describe her current appearance…? Ridicule mixed with sadness, a hint of happiness in the sadness, a trace of hesitation in the happiness, and a little bit of self-deprecation in the hesitation…

Combined with the small changes on her face, she released several different moods in a few blinks of the eye.

Moreover, there was nothing fake or obvious about it. No matter how one saw it, it seemed to come from the bottom of her heart, representing her true emotions.

As for Blue Wave who always believed he could control the hearts of women, even he couldn’t help but be shocked.

This woman, did I really touch her heart? Then if I beg for mercy and come up with some other excuses, could I really restore her regards towards me?

But as soon as this thought appeared it was immediately suppressed without hesitation.

He could not take that risk!

Grabbing hold of Feature and then borrowing the red-eye demon’s hand to kill everyone here was the correct path to take.

But on the surface, as Feature’s gaze was on him, his emotional performance rose higher and higher.

Guilt, lament, embarrassment, and despair…layers of complex emotions weaved into each other.

This caused Qin Yu to sigh with emotion once again. When it was said that people sometimes meet their true rival in the ring, perhaps this was it.

When it came to acting, compared to these contestants with such amazing aptitude, he didn’t have much talent at all.

“Miss Feature…I know that the crime I committed cannot be forgiven…but I really had no other choice…I cannot die here…before I fulfill my mother’s dying wish…I promised I would take revenge for her…I cannot die here…I really cannot die…” Blue Wave’s eyes were red and teardrops gushed out of his pain-filled eyes. But only the heavens knew if he was speaking the truth right now.

And as he spoke, he took several steps forward. He was already at a distance where he could attack.

Right now, only Qin Yu was standing beside Feature. Although he had never seen this boy fight, he was clearly the same as Feature – someone with a background but insufficient strength.

So what if she had two Demon Commander guards? They were being tied down by the red-eye demon leader right now. As long as he captured her, it was all over.

“You…” Feature said in a shaking voice. But as she said this first word, Blue Wave attacked without hesitation.

He rushed forward, instantly erupting with all his strength. While he hadn’t reached the Demon General level yet, the difference wasn’t that great.

Moreover, as he attacked he borrowed the ability of a powerful demon tool. With a loud cracking sound, Feature and Qin Yu were submerged in a mass of crimson strength and imprisoned within.

Blue Wave’s eyes lit up with excitement. But at this time, a dark and cloudy strength shot into his body. It was like ice-cold chains that suppressed his demonic energy.

He froze in place. Even though he was less than ten feet from Feature, he could no longer cross this distance.

With wide eyes, he watched as the air rippled and Shadowless Demon appeared. Endless fear rose on his face.

Demon Commander!

A third Demon Commander!

His body shook – this was him losing control of his lower body and peeing himself. A rancid fishy smell filled the air.

“Miss, sir!” Shadowless Demon bowed. The reason he didn’t kill Blue Wave was because he had already guessed things weren’t this simple.

Otherwise, why would the miss go in such big circles to play around with this kid?

Feature blinked her eyes. Then, all the various emotions disappeared from her face. She said, “...Is this what they call stupid to the point of being cute?”

She lifted a hand and gently tapped at the air. Without any fluctuations of aura, the crimson strength that surrounded her and Qin Yu shattered into pieces.

Qin Yu glanced at Blue Wave and his lips twitched. He asked Feature, “Are you done playing around?”

“No!” Feature righteously said, dissatisfaction in her eyes. “My acting skills were just beginning to bloom. I was about to enter the next arc of the plot and the effects would have been absolutely perfect. I didn’t expect this kid to be so uncooperative and attack me just like that. How disappointing!”

Blue Wave shook a few more times. Disbelief filled his eyes. Even though Feature had only said a few words, all sorts of terrifying information was contained within.

Could it be that from the very start, this woman was intentionally playing with him? But for what reason? The two sides had no grudges or enmity and they had only bumped into each other at the lakeside once. There was not even any conflict, so she had chosen to mess with him over something so minor? Was she too bored or something?

Whether it was boredom or not, Blue Wave wasn’t in the mood to figure it out. He felt as if he had been thrown into a bucket of ice cold water. A chill dug into his heart and seeped into his bones.

He had been nothing but a clown from the start. It wasn’t just what happened a moment ago, but everything had been nothing but a play that others were enjoying.

He had been nothing but an ‘actor’ on stage. He thought his performance was perfect, but he actually didn’t know anything at all. How pathetic and laughable was he.

Blue Wave’s eyes shined with hatred. He glared at Feature, as if wanting to brand her beautiful face deep into his mind.

He was sure he would die without a doubt. If so, there was no need to conceal what he was feeling anymore.

“Tsk tsk, those eyes are so ominous, but who do you think you are scaring?” Feature laughed a few times before walking over.

Blue Wave couldn’t speak out loud. All he could do was spin his eyes around. He looked at Feature as she walked closer and blood vessels started to rise on his eyes, turning so red that they seemed as if they would spit out fire.

Bang –

There was a clean kick followed by the sounds of two blunt and fragile objects cracking.

Shadowless Demon stiffened beneath his black robes. He looked at Feature with even more awe in his eyes.

Blue Wave couldn’t move, but bugs seemed to drill into his blood and flesh as his entire body fiercely distorted.

Fresh blood dripped down from his crotch. They were like red crystalline drops, shattering as they reached the ground.

“This is because you’ve had some very disrespectful thoughts towards me. So this kick is an extra gift that I’ve decided to grant you. If you feel grateful, there is no need to say anything. Nor do you have the ability to speak right now anyways.” Feature turned and snapped her fingers, “The commotion is almost over. Let’s hurry up so we don’t waste the rich feast that Old Fox prepared for us!”

Qin Yu’s complexion darkened. She had just used such a terrifying heir-severing kick, and now she was even in the mood to have a buffet?

Her psychological mindset was truly powerful!

Glancing at Blue Wave who shook in pain but couldn’t utter a single word, Qin Yu decided to swallow the words he was going to say.

Recently, it had been better not to provoke this woman.

Shadowless Demon bowed, “Yes, miss.”
