Chapter 621: I Want You

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but gulp. He had really been courting death just now.

However, another question immediately came to mind: "By the way, since she killed so many court experts, why didn't the Emperor intervene? Didn't you say the previous Demon Sect leader was killed by the Emperor?"

Zhu Xie Chixin explained, "Mainly, that woman is too cunning. She chose to act precisely when the Emperor was returning to the capital. Whenever the court's encirclement force was strong, she would vanish without a trace with her subordinates. When the court's force weakened, she would suddenly appear like a ghost and wipe out those people. The court's attempts to suppress her failed several times, so they temporarily gave up."

Zu An was shocked to hear this. Yun Jianyue had truly mastered the essence of guerrilla warfare. However, he was very confused by the court's decision: "Give up? The imperial court actually gave up?"

One must know that most of the world's experts are now gathered by the court, and there are countless talents within the imperial court. He truly couldn't understand why they would give up.

Zhu Xie Chixin lowered his voice and said, "In the early years, during the great war between humans and demons, although the Emperor killed the Demon Emperor, he was also fundamentally injured by the Demon Emperor's dying counterattack. The Emperor managed to suppress his injuries with great difficulty, but when he later killed the previous Demon Sect leader, his old wounds were aggravated. Therefore, the Emperor later focused more on recovering from his injuries and had no time to deal with the Demon Sect. Other officials in the court might not have been a match for Yun Jianyue, and under her leadership, the Demon Sect also changed its previous aggressive tactics of attacking prefectures. So, everyone tacitly coexisted peacefully."

Zu An suddenly understood. No wonder so many of the Emperor and Empress's uncles were still alive and kicking, while the world's strongest person was the first to face the Five Decays of Heaven and Man. It turned out that his foundation had been injured in an early war.

However, it was clear that the Emperor was truly formidable; even with his foundational injuries, he could still eliminate the previous Demon Sect leader, and this time, he easily defeated Yun Jianyue.

"Alright, I must continue my search for Yun Jianyue's whereabouts," Zhu Xie Chixin said. His purpose for coming here was to subtly inquire about Zu An's mission, but he didn't expect Zu An to be so cooperative. Naturally, he left satisfied.

Zu An rose to see him off, waving as he left and saying, "I wish you good luck in catching that demoness soon, Brother Zhu!"

After Zhu Xie Chixin left, Zu An closed the door again. Yun Jianyue was already sitting on the bed, giving him a disdainful look. "Brown-noser."

"What do you know? This is called social finesse," Zu An retorted, naturally displeased. "Saying a few pleasant words costs nothing and helps build good relationships. Why not?"

Yun Jianyue said indifferently, "That's because you're too weak, always thinking about these underhanded tricks. If you were strong enough, you could cut down any problem with a single sword stroke. Why bother currying favor with others?"

Zu An rolled his eyes. "Then you try to 'cut down' the Emperor?"

Yun Jianyue's breath hitched. "..."Rage from Yun Jianyue +111!Could this guy even have a normal conversation?

Zu An dragged a stool and sat in front of her, scrutinizing her curiously. "Are you really the great demoness he described?"

Yun Jianyue was unaccustomed to his face being so close, feeling his breath on her. She instinctively leaned back, increasing the distance between them. "Yes, and I also enjoy eating baby brains, the kind that stops children from crying at night. So, you'd best not provoke me."

Zu An stared at her for a long time. It was truly difficult to reconcile the beautiful and alluring woman before him with the demoness Zhu Xie Chixin had described."Ugh, you always judge by looks, how base!" he chided himself.

"Given what you've said, I need to re-evaluate how I treat you," he then continued. "Since you're such a ruthless demon, you'll probably come after me once you recover, and I can't beat you. In that case, I might as well strike first and kill you."He deliberately made his expression ferocious as he spoke.

Yun Jianyue sat there motionless, her expression unchanged, simply watching him silently as if he were an idiot.Zu An: "..."

"Come on, Big Sister, cooperate a little! I'm clearly super fierce, aren't you scared?"

Yun Jianyue said indifferently, "You have no killing intent."Zu An was startled, then immediately realized that at her level, she could keenly sense invisible killing intent. So, no matter how fierce he pretended to be outwardly, it was useless.

Thinking of this, he felt a bit dejected. Against this dominant "big sister" type, many of his tricks for fooling young girls were completely useless.

He took out a pill from his pocket and offered it to her. "This is a Marrow Rejuvenation Pill; it has miraculous effects on all kinds of internal and external injuries. You should take it."Yun Jianyue glanced at it. "A medicine from Divine Doctor Ji of Brightmoon City?"

This time, it was Zu An's turn to be surprised. "You know him?"How did that guy Ji Dengtu know so many stunning beauties?Then why did he keep asking Zu An for stories to practice "Left-Right Interplay" with?"Oh, I wonder how Xiao Xi is doing. I still miss that soft and adorable girl a bit; I really want to pinch her soft, chubby cheeks and kiss them..."

Yun Jianyue replied, "I've heard a little about him. Hong Lei was undercover in Brightmoon City previously and sent back some information about him. Keep that medicine for yourself; it's useless to me."

"Huh?" Zu An felt a bit indignant on Ji Dengtu's behalf. "Even if Divine Doctor Ji's cultivation isn't as high as yours, his medical skills are top-notch, right? Why would it be useless to you?"

Yun Jianyue explained, "At our level, our bodies are far stronger than those of ordinary cultivators. We generally don't suffer fatal injuries, and even severe wounds can slowly heal automatically."

Zu An's expression was odd. He felt as if he had returned to the dilemma he faced when he first transmigrated to this world. Given Yun Jianyue's current cultivation, the intensity of her body's refinement had, to some extent, transcended the human realm.To put it this way, even if she lay there and let you do as you pleased, unless your cultivation was comparable to hers, you probably wouldn't be able to "enter."Even if she tried hard to control her body and reluctantly helped you get in, just one moment of carelessness, one casual "squeeze," and you'd break.Even if you drugged her and used various methods to incapacitate her, if she got slightly emotional, she could "spray you to death"...Men in this world were truly miserable. No wonder so many people desperately strove to increase their cultivation.

Yun Jianyue frowned, looking at him. "What are you thinking about?"She instinctively felt that this guy must be thinking something improper.

"Nothing," Zu An said, guiltily changing the subject. "Then what's with your current severe injuries?"

Yun Jianyue replied, "The battle between the Emperor and me was actually on the spiritual soul level. My spiritual soul was injured. Unless I can obtain a miraculous elixir that nourishes the spiritual soul, other healing medicines are completely useless to me."

"Those herbs can nourish the spiritual soul?" Zu An asked curiously. "I actually have quite a few elixirs here."Whether bought from Ji Dengtu or collected through various adventures, he indeed had a considerable amount of medicine on hand.

Yun Jianyue glanced at him indifferently. Although she didn't believe he possessed such abilities, she still answered, "Blazing Flame Secret Dew, Jade Feather Demonic Jade, Spirit Cloud Immortal Lotus, Vajra Underworld Fruit, White Cloud True Dew, Desire Heaven Gu Orchid, Five Aggregates Secret Ganoderma... any of these would work. Do you have them?"

Zu An: "..."Damn, he had never even heard of them.

Zu An fell into thought. He truly didn't have such medicines on hand. Although he still had a small bottle of "Trust Brother Chun," it was likely useless for a Grandmaster-level expert. Moreover, even if it were effective, why would he use such precious medicine on her when they weren't close?

Yun Jianyue smiled and leaned back on the bed, closing her eyes to rest.Sensing her contempt, Zu An felt annoyed. "If I manage to get these medicines for you, how will you repay me?"

Yun Jianyue opened her eyes and looked at him with some surprise. "You have these medicines?""Never mind that. Just tell me, if I get them, how will you repay me?" Zu An huffed.

"What kind of repayment do you want?" Yun Jianyue said with a half-smile.Zu An carefully scrutinized her exquisite face, which was incredibly close, and slowly said, "I want you..."

Yun Jianyue's eyebrows rose, and her gaze instantly turned extremely dangerous.Zu An then continued, "...I want your disciple, Hong Lei."

Yun Jianyue: "..."Rage from Yun Jianyue +444!

---Happy weekend, everyone!
