"You are the murderer of my cousin," Lian Qingyi said through gritted teeth.
"That's right, I am."
"What do you want?"
"Heh heh, what do you think? Of course, I'm here to…!"
"You want to defile me? Not a chance. I'd rather die than let you succeed." Before Zhou Hong could finish speaking, Lian Qingyi, with a self-righteous tone, assumed Zhou Hong was there to rape her.
Zhou Hong was speechless.
"On what grounds do you say I want to defile you?" Zhou Hong asked with a cold smile.
"We have no enmity, and you've already killed my cousin. You come to my bedside in the middle of the night, what else could you be here for if not to defile me?"
"Fine, fine. If you think so, then so be it. You're a great beauty anyway. And looking at you, you seem like a maiden. It would be a shame to die like this. In that case, I'll let you experience being a woman before you die." Just as Zhou Hong was about to act, for some unknown reason, he felt it would be a pity to kill her directly.
"Hmph, naive." Just then, Lian Qingyi suddenly vanished.
Zhou Hong couldn't help but frown. He had been careless.
At this moment, Zhou Hong regretted not having killed her directly while she was asleep, without wasting words.
Zhou Hong scanned the bedroom. There were no traces left.
Just then, Zhou Hong felt a chill down his spine.
Without time to turn, Zhou Hong lunged forward.
Indeed, in the next second, an invisible sharp blade pierced through the position of his heart. Had it been a mere 0.001 second slower, Zhou Hong's heart would have been torn out.
Zhou Hong broke out in a cold sweat. This Lian Qingyi, it seemed, was quite skilled.
Zhou Hong scrambled on the ground, vigilant of his surroundings, yet he still couldn't find Lian Qingyi's presence.
"You can't escape. Surrender now," a voice suddenly came from behind Zhou Hong's ear.
Zhou Hong whipped his head around, but missed.
"Lian Qingyi, what kind of technique is that?" Zhou Hong asked, slightly trembling. After all, even with his many abilities, he couldn't detect her. This showed Lian Qingyi was no ordinary person, and perhaps she possessed a powerful demonic artifact.
"You're not worthy of knowing," Zhou Hong's ears registered Lian Qingyi's voice again. This time, it came from the side, but Zhou Hong knew she wasn't there.
"Grandpa, is there any way to find her?" Zhou Hong asked in his mind.
"There's no way. This Lian Qingyi is no ordinary woman. She probably has a powerful demonic artifact, and perhaps even a sub-world."
"No way. Does that mean I might not be able to deal with her even with my world power?"
"That depends on whether she has generated world power. If she has, then it's hard to say."
Zhou Hong broke out in a cold sweat. He had thought it would be a simple task, but he had unexpectedly run into trouble.
Fortunately, the Great Demon King Hei Lan had appeared in time during the day. Otherwise, even with his world power, Zhou Hong might not have been able to kill her, and instead, his secret would have been exposed.
While Zhou Hong was still contemplating how to find Lian Qingyi, four more icy presences simultaneously attacked his head from the east, west, north, and south.
This time, it seemed Zhou Hong had no way to dodge.
Zhou Hong's pupils contracted. He had no time to evade. Lian Qingyi's attacks were too bizarre.
Helplessly, Zhou Hong instantly entered his sub-world to evade this attack.
Indeed, the moment Zhou Hong disappeared from his original spot, the four icy attacks collided with each other. If Zhou Hong hadn't dodged quickly, his head would have been blown off.
Lian Qingyi, hidden in the unseen, couldn't help but let out a soft hum, "As expected, she possesses a sub-world."
Zhou Hong reappeared in the room a second later.
Hearing Lian Qingyi's voice, Zhou Hong also said with a cold laugh, "You too. You have a sub-world, no wonder you disappeared instantly when I had a needle point at you. You must have used your sub-world as well."
"I never imagined the one who killed my cousin would be a demon with a sub-world. My cousin was truly unlucky to have chosen someone like you as her guard." The voice in the darkness said again.
"Hmph, your cousin was a venomous person with a heart like a snake's. She deserved to die." Zhou Hong snorted coldly.
"You're the one who deserves to die. My cousin was innocent and kind, she rarely left the mansion and offended no one. If I'm not mistaken, you first raped and then killed my cousin, didn't you?"
Zhou Hong became furious. It seemed Lian Qingyi knew nothing about her cousin's true nature.
"You're the Women's Captain of Wu Meng City, and yet you have no idea what your cousin is like. Do you know that the reason she hired six guards was just a ruse? She's a demon who dares to eat human brains raw." Su Dan Novel Net.
"How dare you defame my cousin!" Lian Qingyi roared, and attacked Zhou Hong again. Zhou Hong's senses were extremely acute. Every time Lian Qingyi's killing blow was about to arrive, Zhou Hong would sense the icy aura and react instantly. This led to Lian Qingyi being unable to kill Zhou Hong for a while. It seemed that people with sub-worlds were not so easily killed.
"Lian Qingyi, I originally thought you were truly someone who hated evil as much as you hated enemies, but I didn't expect you to be so hypocritical. You point fingers at others, yet you claim your cousin is innocent and kind, and don't even mention her eating human brains raw. Your cousin and I had no enmity. I was honored when she chose me as her guard. But I never expected the City Lord's steward to take the six of us newly selected guards to an underground secret chamber. Your cousin, in front of us, cracked open one of our heads and ate it with a spoon."
"Silence! My cousin is not that kind of person. How could an innocent little girl like her…?" Lian Qingyi became enraged.
"Hahaha, what an innocent little girl. You'd better investigate thoroughly before you speak."
"Fine, I'll temporarily put aside the debate about my cousin's true nature and investigate in secret. But why did you suddenly break into my room today? What do you want from me?" Lian Qingyi asked furiously. She also knew that killing Zhou Hong wouldn't be easy, and no longer attacked rashly. She felt that Zhou Hong was not easy to deal with, and if he had any powerful trump cards, she might be at a disadvantage. After all, Zhou Hong had silently approached her bedside while she was asleep. Fortunately, Zhou Hong only wanted to rape her and not kill her, otherwise, her corpse would have gone cold.
"Heh heh, what do you think I want?" Zhou Hong smiled faintly, too lazy to explain.
"You pervert! You really do want to defile me!" Lian Qingyi roared. It seemed she wouldn't believe Zhou Hong even if he told the truth.
