chapter 14

This feeling made Yin Xuezhuo very irritable. He picked up a stone and squeezed it in his palm casually, and the stone turned into powder instantly. The powder slipped through his finger and fell onto the ground.

Ji Yan looked at him and understood why he was acting this way.

She closed her eyes and then said, “I’m very hungry right now, so hungry that I have a stomachache. I also feel very cold. I think I have a fever. The symptoms of a fever are dizziness, fatigue, and nausea. I need to eat, see a physician, and then sleep. Otherwise, I will die.”

Yin Xuezhuo, “…die?”

He heard a long list of unfamiliar words from her. Words like “hungry” and “cold” were very strange and unfamiliar to him, but he immediately focused on the last word.

He raised an eyebrow and looked at Ji Yan for a moment. His gaze seemed to convey the words: I’m speechless as to how weak you are.

Ji Yan watched as he stood up and turned into a black mist. He flew violently around the area for a few minutes before he asked her impatiently, “Where do you eat?”

Ji Yan silently pointed at the building right below them.

She and Yin Xuezhuo were currently perched on the roof of a restaurant.

Yin Xuezhuo picked up Ji Yan with one hand and was about to rush down and kill everyone. Ji Yan quickly stopped him, “Don’t do that! You will cause a big commotion! Since you came back to the city, then you must have something you want to do, right? If that’s the case, then you shouldn’t stir up a commotion…”

Her voice was slowly becoming softer and softer.

This was because Yin Xuezhuo was looking at her like he was eager to kill her again. His gaze conveyed: If you beeping talk again, then I will kill you and die along with you.

He was really violent. Ji Yan didn’t dare utter another word as she fell silent.

Yin Xuezhuo put her back down and concealed his presence. His voice rang beside Ji Yan’s ear, she could feel his cold breath gently tickling her ear as he said, “Go down.”

Ji Yan, “It’s too high…I’ll die if I jump down from this height.”

Suddenly, Ji Yan could feel an invisible force supporting her as she easily jumped off the roof.

Ji Yan: Hey! That was pretty cool.

The world was full of immortal cultivators, so jumping off a roof was considered as nothing. The pedestrians didn’t even give her another glance and walked by. Ji Yan stood in the middle of the crowded street market and looked up at the gorgeous restaurant in front of her. She could smell the delicious scent of food wafting from the restaurant. Her stomach began growling from the delicious scent.

She ran into the restaurant excitedly.

“Hello esteemed guest, are you here stopping here for a meal or are you planning on staying the night in this shop?” The waiter eyed Ji Yan sharply and greeted her with a bright smile on his face.

His attitude towards Ji Yan was particularly respectful.

Ji Yan remembered that when she took the dead woman’s clothing, she had also taken the tablet that was tied to the woman’s waist. It seemed that the waiter of the shop believed that she was a female disciple of one of the immortal sects.

Ji Yan said, “I plan to stay for the night and also prepare a meal for me right away! Immediately!”

The waiter gave her a flattering smile and said, “Esteemed guest, our rule here is to pay half of the money first before…”

Ji Yan’s expression froze for a second.

Oops. She forgot about this and she had no money at all.

Then, as if by magic, a bag was stuffed into her hand.

Ji Yan raised her hand and discovered that she was holding a pouch of money in that hand. She was slightly surprised by this, but she didn’t even have time to react when the waiter took the pouch from her. He took the money that was required to stay the night and returned the pouch to Ji Yan. He nodded his head and said, “Please come this way, I prepared the best room in the west part of the shop…”

Ji Yan entered the room and the waiter soon filled the table with piping hot and delicious food.

Ji Yan sat down in front of the table and swallowed her saliva.

The black mist gradually condensed and Yin Xuezhuo appeared where the mist was formerly at. He sat lazily on the bed as his long dark spilled onto the ground, the color of his hair blended into his thick black robe. His arms and legs were slender and fair; he had long eyebrows and a high nose bridge. His black pupils were clear without any ripples.

If she ignored his horrifying hands and the abnormal black mist surrounding him, then he looked like a beauty that was painted in black and white.

In order to portray him as a pitiful villain, the author of the original novel made him the only twisted character in the book.

He was given beautiful features except for the pair of horrifying hands. Even though he was beautiful on the outside, he was extremely cruel and twisted on the inside.
