chapter 10

Yin Xuezhuo stared at the woman in front of him. His gaze was full of murderous intent.

The sky was filled with black clouds and the magic energy was overflowing in the air. The magical enchantment surrounding Linshuang City was trembling; it was on the verge of collapsing.

The peace in the city was completely broken. People in the city began to panic and they fled everywhere. Countless immortals arrived to quell the people’s panic. The only quiet and peaceful place was in the courtyard where Yin Xuezhuo and Ji Yan were currently at. Yin Xuezhuo wanted nothing more than killing the person in front of him right now.

But he cannot kill her.

The girl in front of him was like a lifeless doll hanging over his hand. Droplets of water dripped down her long and wet hair. Her face was deathly pale; she was an extremely weak woman. Ji Yan was about to fall unconscious.

She couldn’t answer his question.

Yin Xuezhuo was furious, but he had no choice but to restrain his anger and loosen his grip on her face.

Ji Yan immediately gasped for breath after he eased his grip on her.

Her eyelashes trembled when she closed her eyes. When she reopened her eyes to look at Yin Xuezhuo, she noticed that they were standing quite close to one another. Because he was standing so close to her, she could feel the icy cold air emitting from him. It made her tremble; she curled up her body and weakly replied, “I don’t know.”

She was just an ordinary person, so how was she able to do anything to him?

The hand that was holding her face had a terrifying appearance. The black nails on his fingers poked her face. Yin Xuezhuo tightened his grip on her face slightly. Ji Yan felt as if her face was about to be ripped off by him.

In the next second, he let go of her face and looked at her with a strange expression on his face. He appeared to be pondering over something.

She didn’t know what he was going to do with her.

He was just a madman. He was a nightmare that was raised by someone to be used as a tool. He didn’t think like a regular person, so he was able to do crazy and cruel things without blinking an eye.

T/N: The usage of the word nightmare here isn’t referring to having a bad dream. Instead, I think nightmare refers to a species of spirits.

Ji Yan shivered slightly. He suddenly laid her flatly on the ground, and then he raised his hand to tear her clothes off.

In that instant, the snowy field seemed to have turned into a warm spring scenery.

Ji Yan widened her eyes in panic, but she couldn’t resist him because she couldn’t move.

There were no emotions behind Yin Xuezhuo’s ink-colored pupils as he examined every inch of her body.

He couldn’t detect anything strange about her, so he had to personally check her body to see if she had any strange markings or items hidden on her.

There was nothing.

There were no magical weapons, special medicine, or any markings that indicated that she was refined into a gu person.

T/N: gu person – It’s when a person is ‘refined’ into someone who is immune to all sorts of poison. They become extremely powerful, but they’re in constant pain.

Yin Xuezhuo’s gaze fell on Ji Yan’s face again.

The young girl was lying on the ground stiffly, her head was slightly turned to the side, and there was a faint blush creeping up from her neck. She seemed to be shy, but with closer inspection, she appeared ashamed and resentful.

Ji Yan knew that it was impossible for Yin Xuezhuo to have taken an interest in her.

He was already hostile to humans. In his eyes, she was perhaps a tiny ant that he can easily kill with a pinch of his fingers. He probably couldn’t even distinguish the differences between the sexes.

Even so, she was an ordinary person!

Although she was not extremely conservative, she was not a person that was extremely open-minded either!

She…she really felt embarrassed.

Ji Yan closed her eyes, bit her lower lip with her pearly white teeth.

The faint voices that could be heard from outside the courtyard were getting louder and louder. It seemed like a group of people are planning to search the courtyard right now. Ji Yan trembled slightly when she heard the voices. She turned around and looked at Yin Xuezhuo pleadingly.

“Please…don’t…” Her eyes were brimming with tears, she was really afraid.

Yin Xuezhuo had a frown on his face while he was still troubled over why he and Ji Yan were connected physically.

He felt a little irritable when he heard Ji Yan’s pleading cry, but he still grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her directly into his spacious black robe.

His body was ice-cold. Ji Yan couldn’t help but shiver as soon as she wrapped her arm around him.

“Hold on tight.”

Yin Xuezhuo completely wrapped her in his embrace and killed his way out.

He turned into a black mist again. Whenever he passed by, a sea of blood would follow.

He was not human.

A nightmare spirit was able to come and go without a sound. Ji Yan realized that this was like an enhanced version of the 3D fighting game she played before she transmigrated here. But she was dizzy and light-headed from all the spinning and moving around from all the fighting
