Chapter 184: An Extremely Smug Man
“If there is anything you have to say, just say it here,” said Ling Chuxi coldly. She did not have the slightest intention of inviting him in as she stood guard by her door. A hint of annoyance flashed in her eyes. It was just that this flash of annoyance was not noticed by Li Ruihong.
“I still don’t know Miss’ name,” persisted Li Ruihong. He was stunned that Ling Chuxi had actually rejected him. Then he recovered his good spirits once more. It seemed as though this young maiden was not an easy-going person. All the better. Naturally, she was untainted and a little proud. He liked it. Only when such a person was tamed would one have a sense of achievement. Therefore, he was not angry at Ling Chuxi’s attitude, but rather, he continued to smile at her and persist in his advances. If Ling Chuxi knew of the kind of rich thoughts running through his dirty mind, she would have long spat on him till he drowned in her spit. Too extreme. His divergent thinking was really too extreme!
Ling Chuxi was truly a little speechless. How could this guy be so persistent? Did he really think that as a messenger of the Deity Temple, his identity was so “noble” that she, or any other girl, would willingly throw herself at him?
“I—” Ling Chuxi had just said but one word when her face changed. Li Ruihong’s face also instantly changed.
There was a murderous intent in the air! A fierce murderous intent had instantly filled the surroundings!
However, that murderous intent then disappeared in a flash.
“Wait here. Don’t simply move about. I will return after taking a look. I want to see who it is that dares to provoke me so bravely.” Li Ruihong first comforted Ling Chuxi in concern, then put on an expression that said, “Do not cross me,” as he spoke in a ruthless tone.
Without waiting for Ling Chuxi to reply, he immediately turned around and pulled out his sword to give chase.
Ling Chuxi frowned, turned around to return to her room and shut the door. Who was the fierce murderous intent directed at just now? Was it directed at her? No. That was not quite possible. Then, was it directed at Li Ruihong? Ling Chuxi was stunned by this thought. Who would want to assassinate a person from the Deity Temple? The Deity Temple had incredible authority and prestige in this world. She had already heard of it, and also witnessed it a little by now. Who would dare to touch the people of the Deity Temple?
Ling Chuxi walked to the side of the window and looked out into the dark night. Her pupils suddenly contracted. In the night, the snow reflected the light of the moon and allowed her to see a figure. Although it was just a flash, she still managed to take a clear look. That person’s figure seemed to be one she knew.
Giving it a moment of thought, Ling Chuxi put on her outer robe and grabbed the Luo Chen Sword before silently leaping out the window. Following in the direction in which the figure disappeared into, Ling Chuxi very quickly chased after the figure. Little White stood by the windowsill and looked in the direction in which Ling Chuxi disappeared into and then it also leaped out the window to follow after her.
She gave chase all the way until the outskirts of the small town. Only then did Ling Chuxi hear a berating voice from up ahead. It was Li Ruihong’s voice.
“Who’s there trying to put on pretenses to scare people. You still don’t dare to come out and meet me? What a coward you are!” shouted Li Ruihong at his surroundings as he stood in an empty piece of land with his sword in his hands.
“Kekeke…” Suddenly, a light laugh rang out all around, it was impossible to tell where it came from. It was incredibly eerie in the midst of this cold, dark night.
Li Ruihong got goosebumps as he held onto his sword even tighter and shouted angrily once more, “Who is it? Come out!”
From afar, Ling Chuxi could tell that this laughter contained an indifference. It possessed a joking quality and a kind of nonchalance belonging to one who didn’t care for anything. This was Mu Liufeng’s laughter!
There was absolutely no mistake about this. This laughter belonged to Mu Liufeng!
“Come out!” roared Li Ruihong as white light emitted from the sword in his hand. It was captivating. Ling Chuxi was a little surprised. Li Ruihong’s Battle Qi had already surpassed Level 8. Could it be that this was what Battle Qi Level 9 looked like? She never thought that Li Ruihong’s cultivation was actually so strong.
