Ning Yuan may not want to let this woman in front of himself live, but not even he could ignore how persistent the lady was by rooting herself to the spot.
âWhat a shame, if you werenât related to Ningâer then I mightâve accepted you as my apprentice. But you are, and for that, you canât live! She belongs to me in this life!â When proclaiming this, a look of madness gripped the manâs face like heâs lost it.
Huffing a grunt at the shamelessness: âYou think just because you wish it that you will be able to stop her from returning to her family? Aside from me, there are many others looking for her. One day my father too will find her!â
Wordless at the notion, Ning Yuan flared red and reappeared before Bai Yanâs face, his hand tightly clenching the ladyâs collar like a lunatic.
âTell me, where the hell is that man? If I kill him then no one can take her!â
Naturally she wouldnât spill the beans and mocked him some more with her smirk.
âDamn wench, if you donât tell me then I will make you suffer more than death!â
So whatâs the plan here by provoking someone thatâs lost all reasoning? If it was earlier then Bai Yan wouldnât have any of course, however, that changed the moment she crashed into the oak tree. Just now the bond between her and the old goat has reconnected, meaning sheâs able to call her two familiars over! Time, thatâs what she needed, and thatâs exactly why sheâs stalling.
âIf you want to know then why not ask my mother instead?â
âHoho!â A snarling growl filled Ning Yuanâs lip.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
If she was willing to say then she wouldâve told me before she lost her memory! Now I got no way to find out because she canât even remember!
âIâm giving you one more chance, tell me now!â
Leaning against the stump of the fallen oak, Bai Yan didnât care and closed her eyes to allow the man free range to wrangle her collar. Silence was the best and itâs the reason heâs keeping her alive.
âYou slut!â
Bang!
Aggravated by the resistance, Ning Yuan throws another punch, but this time itâs for the ladyâs face instead.
Sensing it due to the wind blowing in from the front, Bai Yan reflexively blocked with her Godslayer. Just like the last time, the recoiling shockwave was devastating when flesh met metal, causing the lady to throw up blood from the mouth again and making her complexion go pale white.
Not done yet, the man throws another, and another, and several more punches in quick succession afterwards. But right when heâs about to finish the job after losing his mind, he somehow couldnât. Inches, only inches away, Ning Yuanâs fist stalled, hanging there in midair like heâs frozen solidâ¦.
Bai Yan also noticed this oddity, believing her life was about to end as well at first, but then she soon realized why. Looking down, a muscular hand of pristine grace had wound itself around her waist, giving the lady the oh so familiar protective sensation from way past.
