"Human, Lord Yuxiong doesn't have the best temper. If you want to live, you'd better admit your mistake, apologize, and kowtow — maybe then you can still keep your life!" one of the demon race warriors shouted, seemingly eager to advise Yang Kai on how to behave. After all, that lady's charm was plain for all to see, and it wasn't entirely this human man's fault for losing his composure.
"Admit my mistake, apologize, kowtow..." Yang Kai stroked his chin with an air of blissful ignorance, his gaze still burning as he locked eyes with the bewitching woman, a playful smile curling at his lips. "Beautiful, are you sure you want me to do that?"
The moment those words left his mouth, the entire hall went dead silent.
Every pair of eyes turned to Yang Kai, faces etched with disbelief.
This human... had just called that lady "beautiful"? This was no longer mere rudeness — it was outright flirtation, brazen and shameless!
That lady may have been born human, but for reasons known only to the Territory Lord himself, she had been taken in as his adopted daughter. Over the years she had been carefully tutored and cultivated, and her excellence was known throughout the world. Even the elites of the demon race had to be humble and courteous in her presence.
A human, right here under the gaze of everyone in the hall, had the audacity to openly flirt with this lady? Had he never died before?
"How dare you!" one of the demon race powerhouses bellowed, his face twisted with fury.
To flirt with that lady was to insult the demon race, insult the Crimson Moon Territory Lord!
Not a single demon warrior could tolerate Yang Kai's brazenness. In an instant, killing intent began to seep through the great hall as rage rippled through the assembled ranks.
Yuxiong blinked, caught off guard, and it took him a long moment before he burst into hearty laughter. Pointing at Yang Kai, he turned to the bewitching woman and said, "Little sister, this pretty boy just called you beautiful."
"Am I not?" The bewitching woman cast Yuxiong a flat glance, her phoenix eyes narrowing slightly.
Yuxiong's laughter died abruptly in his throat. He shrank back and hastily said, "Of course that's not what I meant, Brother just hasn't heard anyone call you that before and was a bit surprised, that's all. Hmm, this pretty boy is truly shameless. Shall Brother go teach him a lesson?"
As he spoke, he shot Yang Kai a fierce glare.
On Crimson Moon Territory, Yuxiong was second only to one — above ten thousand. As a fellow adopted child of the Crimson Moon Territory Lord, his strength and status were beyond what any ordinary demon race warrior could compare to.
And his temperament was upright and unyielding, fearless of heaven or earth. Only two people could ever make him back down.
One was naturally the Crimson Moon Territory Lord. The other was the bewitching woman seated to his right.
If his feelings toward the Crimson Moon Lord could be described as reverent awe, then toward this little sister of his, it was genuine admiration. He admired her aptitude and her speed of Cultivation — things he could never hope to match.
Their adoptive mother had once said that his little sister was the person on Crimson Moon Territory, aside from Ba He, most likely to advance to the Void King Realm! That was something he could not compete with.
"No need!" The bewitching woman declined Yuxiong's offer.
"You're just going to let him off? That's far too easy on him! He must pay the price for his insolence!" Yuxiong shook his massive head, clearly displeased.
The bewitching woman smiled faintly and rose from her chair, descending toward the floor below with graceful, unhurried steps. "Let him off? Naturally, I would never be so merciful. A shameless flirt who can't keep his hands to himself certainly won't get off easy — I'll teach him a lesson myself."
"Well... that works too." Yuxiong nodded, his face splitting into a gleeful grin as he looked at Yang Kai. "You're done for, pretty boy. If it were me, I'd at least give you a quick end. But if it's Little Sister... heh heh heh..."
The demon race warriors flanking both sides of the hall immediately perked up upon hearing that the lady herself would be teaching that pretty boy a lesson, their anticipation swelling as they eagerly awaited the show.
Then again, to be personally taught a lesson by this lady — this pretty boy was truly blessed. More than a few demons wore expressions of envy on their faces.
In moments, the bewitching woman stood before Yang Kai, her smooth, pale chin still tilted upward in that regal, untouchable manner, exposing the elegant line of her slender white neck. The sight was enough to make one's head spin.
Yang Kai met her gaze without a shred of fear, a pleasant smile on his face.
The woman bit down lightly on her silver teeth and slowly extended one hand, her jade-like finger prodding against Yang Kai's chest.
Yuxiong watched with undisguised delight, eagerly anticipating what horrifying and depraved method his little sister would use to torture this shameless fellow...
The assembled demon warriors craned their necks, eager satisfaction written all over their faces...
Her fingertip pressed against Yang Kai's chest. The bewitching woman's teeth clenched as she spoke through them: "Tell me — should I dig out your heart? Or scoop out your liver? Or perhaps... simply slit you open from throat to gut and take a look inside — see whether it's black, or white!"
"You hate me that much?" Yang Kai scratched his nose.
"Yes!" The woman's chin rose another fraction. "I hate you to the bone. I wish I could hack you to pieces and scatter your ashes to the winds..."
"Heh heh..." Yang Kai let out an awkward laugh.
As she spoke, the bewitching woman's jade finger continued to tap lightly against Yang Kai's chest, her silver teeth grinding audibly, as though she bore some deep and terrible grudge against him.
Excitement flickered across Yuxiong's face as he keenly watched Yang Kai's reaction.
Little Sister didn't seem to be using particularly ruthless methods... but with her abilities, inferring hidden injuries on this pretty boy should be child's play.
