Ji Mingyu sneered, “What do you think Biluo Peak is? What are you treating the Abyss Divine Palace as? How does a mere Gold Core Stage martial artist break into my Abyss Divine Palace without anyone’s help? Moreover, you drop into the Five Purity Spirit Spring where I’m bathing. Do you think I would believe such a lie?”

If Zhu Que and Qing Long were here at this moment, they would have definitely been shocked enough to drop their jaws.

Their master had always been a clean freak and sparing with words. When had he ever touched someone’s body without using a cloth? And when had their master been willing to speak so many words?

It seemed that all of Ji Mingyu’s habits were broken in front of this unfamiliar girl, whom he had met for the first time.

At this time, even he himself had not noticed it.

Feeling the warmth, softness, and smoothness of the girl’s skin with his cold fingertips, Ji Mingyu couldn’t help but rub it gently.

As their skins touched, it was as if something sliced open a fissure in the depths of his frozen heart, unleashing a sensation known as palpitation. This made him yearn to keep the girl by his side forever.

Ji Mingyu slowly spoke, his voice clear and cold, yet carrying a sexy magnetism that made one’s heart tremble, “I don’t care who your master is, nor do I care about her purpose in sending you here. Consider it a reward for successfully capturing my interest; I allowed you to stay by my side to become my woman.”

“Tell me your name!”

Xi Yue’s temples throbbed visibly. She gazed at the man before her with a gaze as if she were looking at someone delusional.

She suddenly stood up, swinging her hand forcefully to shake off the man’s hand that was clutching her chin.

“Stop being delusional. Find those who want to be your woman.” Xi Yue sneered, “I’m not interested, so I won’t implicate you further.”

When Ji Mingyu’s hand was shaken off, losing the warm touch of her fingertips, his expression immediately darkened.

“Did you think you ran away from me?”

Xi Yue ignored his warning and backed away immediately.

In this room, the large bed was layered with several curtains. By hiding behind one of them, she could temporarily stay out of vision, giving her the chance to hide in the void.

Although she could only hide for an hour and would not be able to enter the void again for seven days afterward, regardless, she focused on getting past the immediate crisis first.

Xi Yue ran to the side of the bed and leaped, intending to jump over the large bed to hide behind the curtains.

However, a translucent rope flew out from Ji Mingyu’s hand, reaching Xi Yue instantly and wrapping around her slender waist.

Xi Yue turned around in shock. Li Shui Sword appeared in her hand, and she concentrated her spiritual power to slash at the rope.

With a “snap” sound, the thin rope was indeed cut through.

However, to Xi Yue’s surprise, the rope tied around her waist did not loosen.

Instead, it extended as if alive, quickly entangling her limbs and binding her tightly.

Xi Yue was caught off guard. She fell from the air and was thrown heavily on the soft bed.

Ji Mingyu’s figure swayed, appearing before the bed. He looked at Xi Yue condescendingly and said calmly, “I told you, you can’t run away.”

A cold light flashed in Xi Yue’s eyes. She felt that the rope that bound her had turned “dead” and became an ordinary rope.

Ji Mingyu leaned down, clasped her thin but crystal-clear wrist, and took the Li Shui Sword away from her.
