How could someone as well-behaved as Sister Yue possibly be a playboy?

"what?"

Seeing that the young Foundation Establishment cultivator was still pretending to be stupid, the man in black showed impatience in his eyes and stopped talking. He simply raised his hand.

Ye Yueyue's pupils contracted, and she immediately activated the teleportation talisman in her hand.

The spiritual energy blasted over, and her defensive magical artifact shattered instantly with a crisp sound!

The teleportation spell took effect the next second, and Ye Yueyue disappeared from the spot.

Seeing that the spot was empty, the man in black's eyes turned cold. Sensing the spatial fluctuations, he immediately followed the fluctuations and chased after them.

Meanwhile, Ye Yueyue landed and found herself in the inner perimeter, some distance from the center of the Sunset Mountains. She breathed a sigh of relief and ran forward.

The 100-meter teleportation scroll should catch up quickly.

Sure enough, not long after, she heard a noise behind her, along with the voice of the man in black.

"Hand over the items, and I'll leave you with a whole corpse."

His voice was cold and ruthless, leaving no doubt that he was joking. In this silent mountain range, he was undoubtedly a deadly ghost.

Ye Yueyue shuddered, immediately put on a speed-up talisman, and swallowed two spirit-replenishing pills to increase her speed a bit.

Although she was running at top speed, the distance between the two continued to close.

The gap caused by cultivation level is irreparable.

"Brother, why are you chasing me? I'm just a lowly Foundation Establishment cultivator watching the show!"

"Cut the nonsense."

The man sneered and unleashed another burst of spiritual energy at her.

Ye Yueyue didn't dare to dodge, fearing that the other party would catch up if she paused. She didn't dare to look back either, and could only judge the distance between them by the sound.

She reluctantly put on a defensive magical artifact, but it shattered the moment she put it on.

Fortunately, the man in black paused for a moment during the attack, and although he lost a defensive magical artifact, the distance between them did not decrease.

Seeing this, the man in black snorted coldly and raised his hand again, releasing powerful spiritual energy from it!

Even with her back turned, Ye Yueyue felt a powerful aura and the sound of it cutting through the air. Not daring to be careless, she immediately took out a high-grade spiritual artifact and put it on.

The next moment, the artifact wobbled precariously, and a cracking sound was heard, but it did not shatter as before.

Fortunately, the magical artifact given by the cheap master was genuine.

Fearing that the broken protective shield might not be able to withstand the person's attack, Ye Yueyue put on another magical artifact inside, just in case.

After finishing all that, she didn't slow down and continued running at full speed.

Suddenly, Ye Yueyue vaguely saw a figure ahead, and her eyes lit up as she headed in that direction.

"Heh, let's see how many magical artifacts you have."

The man in black chuckled and strode after him.

A sinister glint flashed in his eyes. He spread his hand, and spiritual energy circulated in his hand. A few breaths later, he attacked the ignorant Foundation Establishment cultivator again!

Soon!

As they drew closer, the person before them, dressed in white with an expressionless face, appeared to be none other than the senior brother from the Xiaoyao Sect they had seen earlier!

Sensing the terrifying aura behind her, Ye Yueyue's heart tightened, and she used all her strength to run towards the genius cultivator.

"Senior brother, save me!"

A petite figure approached him. Before Xu Bai could react, a soft body was in his arms, and he could hear her trembling, helpless voice.

"Well."

Xu Bai frowned and let out a muffled groan as he was struck by the force.

The next second, he felt a powerful aura approaching and raised his hand to block the attack.

Xu Bai raised his eyes.

A man in black walked forward with a cold smile. His gaze fell on the Foundation Establishment cultivator behind him, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. "You from the Free and Unfettered Sect, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business."

"Your Rakshasa Palace is going too far!"

Fearing he might really abandon her, Ye Yueyue peeked out from behind Xu Bai and preemptively said:

"Why are you, a Golden Core cultivator, chasing after me, a Foundation Establishment cultivator? The Rakshasa Palace can't bully others just because they have higher cultivation levels!"

Xu Bai felt a pulling force from behind, and could feel the soft touch through the fabric.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the girl's fair hand tightly gripping the hem of his clothes.

"Stop playing dumb with me. If you dare to take it, you'll pay the price."

"Brother, you're going to kill me just because I caught a chicken? Are you all crazy?" Ye Yueyue leaned out and picked up the chicken in her hand.

Then a black, bald chicken appeared, its eyes revealing a clear stupidity, and it instantly met his gaze.

It even giggled at him twice.

Man in black: "..."

"Fine, fine, here you go, okay?"

After saying that, Ye Yueyue threw the chicken on the ground and said speechlessly, "You Rakshasa Palace people are really something. With just one order, the entire Sunset Mountain Range is yours."

The man in black sneered at the sight, not even glancing at the chicken on the ground. "Enough nonsense. I'm not a fool to be fooled. Hand it over now."

Facing an attack from several people, Lai Tiancheng managed to escape with great difficulty, sacrificing one of his men in the process. When he returned, all he found was an empty eggshell.

The spot was deserted except for the Foundation Establishment cultivator. The foolish male cultivator knew without even looking that there was no one there. He didn't believe that this suddenly vanished opportunity had nothing to do with the Foundation Establishment female cultivator.

Even if she didn't take it, she definitely knows where that opportunity is.

Many Golden Core cultivators were vying for it, but in the end, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator beat them to the punch!

Thinking of this, Lai Tiancheng felt a lump in his throat.

His eyes sharpened, and he once again gathered spiritual power in his hands.

However, another spiritual force dispersed him, and the two powerful spiritual forces collided, distorting the air for a moment.

"roll."

Xu Bai spoke calmly, his expression remaining completely unchanged.

"So you're saying you're determined to control him?" Lai Tiancheng's gaze fell on him, his eyes sharp and piercing.

Ye Yueyue's eyes were practically sparkling with hearts as she watched from the side; Iceberg Brother is so handsome!

"roll."

It was still the same word, and the tone remained unchanged.

Lai Tiancheng was enraged. His gaze lingered on Xu Bai for a few seconds before finally settling on the female cultivator whose cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment stage. He sneered:

"The Free and Unfettered Sect, is it? I'll remember that."

Lai Tiancheng knew that he couldn't do anything to this ignorant Foundation Establishment cultivator today.

After saying that, he turned and left.

……

Only after he left did Ye Yueyue cautiously emerge from behind Xu Bai.

"Senior Brother Xu Bai, thank you!"

The girl's joy was evident in her tone, and her bright eyes sparkled, as if she were a deity descended to earth.

"If it weren't for you, I would have died today. Um... Senior brother, could you add a spirit tablet?" She blinked, blushed slightly, and said somewhat shyly.

Xu Bai spoke up, "No need."

His act of helping was simply to repay Ye Yueyue for her previous assistance to the Xiaoyao Sect members; if it weren't for their past entanglements...

If it were anyone else, Xu Bai wouldn't have bothered with such a thing.

"Please, please, I'll feel terrible if I don't repay your life-saving grace!" The girl clasped her hands together, pursed her lips, and looked very serious.

Xu Bai paused, then looked away:

"It has been offset."
