Even hybrid monsters have their day

Then he added a light grumble, "Is it worth risking your life just to find out who he is? You've wasted tens of thousands of years of your life, really."

Normally, Luan Hao would have ignored her complaints, or even cast a spell to shock her. But now, he seemed completely oblivious, standing there motionless.

Geng Miaowan thought to herself, perhaps this is really important to him.

How could she possibly know the identity of this demon leader? Just as she was thinking this, she was suddenly pulled to the side, and a long spear appeared abruptly in front of her. The long, silver spearhead, carrying an aura of world-destroying power, hurtled straight towards her brow.

Behind the spear was Qiu Pi's somewhat panicked face.

Seeing Haotian suddenly pull Geng Miaowan in front of him to shield him, Qiu Pi abruptly stopped his spear attack, and was forced to take a big step back due to the backlash of the demonic power within him.

He glared at Haotian and shouted, "Despicable!" Because Geng Miaowan was too close to him, Qiu Pi was afraid of accidentally hurting her, so he had to stand there and look for another opportunity to attack.

Haotian laughed dismissively, dodging Yin Qianze's attacks while pulling Geng Miaowan back to his side. He whispered in her ear, "I didn't expect you to be so useful."

Geng Miaowan finally recovered from the shock, the cold sensation of the metal gun tip still lingering on her forehead. She turned her head and said with a smile, "I never thought you could be so shameless."

But her eyes were icy cold.

Seemingly surprised by her rebuttal, Haotian paused for a moment, a flicker of astonishment flashing in his crimson eyes, disappearing before he could even notice. He then burst into laughter again, his fiery eyes standing out conspicuously in the darkness, radiating an arrogant and domineering air.

"Who are you?" Haotian asked, staring into her eyes, a hint of familiarity and confusion in them. However, Geng Miaowan thought she must be mistaken. She thought to herself, "Shouldn't she be asking him that question? Why is it the other way around?"

After asking the question, Haotian didn't say anything more, as if he was seriously waiting for her answer.

Suddenly, a glint of light appeared in her ink-black eyes in the night. Something flashed in her eyes before quickly disappearing back into the darkness. Seeing out of the corner of her eye that Qiu Pi seemed about to make another move, she gestured to him, out of Haotian's sight, signaling him to hold his ground.

Qiu Pi had no idea what she was up to. He stopped what he was doing, his icy blue eyes fixed intently on Haotian, like a leopard watching its prey closely, ready to pounce and deliver a fatal blow the moment it relaxed.

"Do you really want to know who I am?" Her face remained calm as always, even with a hint of a smile, which made her seem sincere and harmless.

"nature."

"Then I'll tell you, I am..." She spoke very softly, so softly that Haotian, who was so close to her, didn't hear her.

His face, hidden by his oversized hat, was expressionless. "What?"

“I said I am…” again, a very soft murmur.

"What?" Haotian's voice revealed a hint of impatience.

“I said…” Geng Miaowan began, slowly leaning her head closer to him, and whispering, “I am…”

To hear what she was saying clearly, Haotian leaned closer to her, but he remained vigilant about his surroundings, constantly on guard against a sneak attack from Qiu Pi and Yin Qianze.

He finally heard her clearly: "I said, I am your great-aunt."

The moment she finished speaking, a hand lunged at his face. He was startled. Then he realized she was toying with him, his face darkened, and he tried to block her attack with his free hand, but she grabbed it from behind.

He sneered. With her meager strength, how could she possibly catch him? He exerted force, trying to break free from her grasp.

Geng Miaowan never thought she could restrain him with just one hand; she only wanted to hold his hand for a moment. Just as his hand was about to slip out of her grasp, she suddenly leaned her head up, and her peach-blossom lips pressed against his without warning.

A temperature colder than ice instantly spread through her lips and throughout her body, making her shiver involuntarily.

No one expected her to pull such a stunt. Especially not this dark-hearted demon leader. He knew her compromise must be part of some scheme, and he was always on guard. But he never imagined she would do this. When those soft, warm lips touched his, he was completely petrified.

He knew she was definitely up to something, but this sudden shock made his brain involuntarily stop working for a second, just one second.

Just like how Geng Miaowan was caught by him because of a one-second mistake, this time, because of that one-second pause, a white light suddenly burst from the palm of Geng Miaowan's hand that was holding his hand. At such close range, and without any warning, Haotian felt as if his arm had been dislocated on the spot, and he couldn't help but loosen his grip on her hand.

A triumphant smile flashed across her face. As soon as she gained her freedom, she used several wind manipulation techniques to quickly leap backward, completely ignoring his hand that she had almost shattered into pieces.

Of course, before leaving, she made sure to remove the large hat that had been covering him.

Just as she had expected, beneath the hat was a face so pale it was devoid of any color, a face with very handsome features. However, his paleness wasn't the sickly pallor of someone who hadn't seen the sun for years; it was a lifeless pallor, as if he weren't alive.

What surprised her most was that although the face was so pale it seemed lifeless, it looked incredibly familiar, so familiar that she forgot what she was doing after taking only a few steps back.

No wonder Luan Hao kept saying he felt familiar, no wonder she also felt he seemed familiar, how could this be...

Haotian knew he had fallen into a trap. He glanced at his blood-soaked left hand, his eyes flashing red, his face as pale as a corpse filled with rage, and anger surged to his heart.

He raised his weapon and slashed at her without any mercy.

Still in a daze, Geng Miaowan was completely unaware of this. Perhaps she was aware, but she couldn't react in time and could only watch helplessly as the Sky-Piercing Halberd came crashing down on her forehead.

Qiu Pi and Yin Qianze were also stunned by her actions, and for a moment they forgot to rush over to save the person. (To be continued.)
