Greatest Devilish Person

Redakteur: Atlas Studios

Within a fraction of a second, Squeaky, who was in Ye Lingyue's arms, jumped out.

"Squeak!" Squeaky's baby blue eyes sparkled with golden hues, and all of its furs stood up.

The moment the silver-clawed eagles saw Squeaky's eyes, they all cried out loudly and fell from high in the air. The shock they experienced brought them to their death straight away.

Taking this chance as a quick break, Ye Lingyue grabbed the vine. However, in her fight earlier on, she had used all of her energy and earned an awful injury. She glanced above her, only to see a white layer of clouds. She didn't know where she was.

Climbing up was impossible. Ye Lingyue looked around her and suddenly saw a thick vine on her left. It grew a little weird and behind it, there was a broad-looking cave.

After some thought, Ye Lingyue sucked in a breath and put some strength on her legs, wanting to use the shaking vines to jump into the cave.

Just as Ye Lingyue jumped into the cave, more than a dozen silver-clawed eagles flew over as well. However, just as the eagles approached the cave, they all shivered terribly, as if they had noticed that something really scary was inside. After screeching several times, they flew far away from the cave.

The cave was dark and eerie looking, and the moment Ye Lingyue entered the cave, she saw the silver-clawed eagle king's body in it.

It turned out that during the mess earlier on, the silver-clawed eagle king's body had fallen here as well.

The flying dagger was still stabbed into the silver-clawed eagle king's heart. Ye Lingyue walked forward and took out the flying dagger. She then cut off the eagle's claws.

She glanced into the depths of the cave and saw a vague glow illuminating from inside. It was also different from normal mountain caves. Not only was this cave not moist and cold, but the temperature inside was a few temperatures higher than outside.

After Ye Ning and the rest sent out their rescue signals, Town Leader Liu should have arrived in a short while. She wouldn't be able to escape for now, so she decided to take a few steps further into the cave to take a look.

The more she walked in, the more the temperature in the cave rose. Not only that, Ye Lingyue also saw many skeletons and bones along her way. Judging from the skeletons, some belonged to tigers, wild boars, and even some humans.

"Squeak?" As if sensing something, Squeaky tightened its hold on Ye Lingyue's sleeve. It looked alarmed.

Hiss…

From the other side of the mountain, something slowly slithered over.

When Ye Lingyue realized that something was wrong, she saw a snake-like monster that was as thick as a wooden barrel.

However, it was different from the usual snake. The monster in this cave had golden-red skin and was sticky from head to toe. It didn't have legs under his abdomen, nor did it have eyes. At the top of its head, there was a red crown, shaped like a poisonous tumor, and below it was a mouth with three petal-like flaps.

Its speed was so quick that a short slither allowed it to move several dozens of feet in a blink of an eye. Wherever it slithered past, it instantly turned black.

Hiss… The monster didn't have any eyes, but its scent was very sharp and sensitive. It realized that there was a foreign aura in the cave, so it instantly spat out a mouthful of red fire.

Without hesitating, Ye Lingyue instantly sent that flying dagger over.

However, once the flying dagger came into contact with the fire, the flying dagger stopped in its flight. It then landed on the floor with a loud clang. No matter how Ye Lingyue tried, she wasn't able to call on it anymore.

The fire was so scary that it could erase the dagger's psyche straight away.

At that instance, Ye Lingyue knew that she had faced a tremendous problem.

This monster looked like it had been resting in the Seven Stars mountain for many years, and it was far different from the other wild beasts. Could it be a legendary spiritual beast?

Ye Lingyue heard from her mother before that amongst the spiritual beasts, the snake beasts grew legs after a hundred years and grew a crown after five hundred years, then horns after a thousand years. Could it be that the one in front of her was a five-hundred-year-old monster snake?

Hiss…

Angered by Ye Lingyue's action, the monster hissed loudly as its body curled up intensely and swept towards Ye Lingyue.

Ye Lingyue didn't dare to fight it head-on, so she pressed herself against the cave wall. With a tumble forward, she managed to avoid the attack.

However, another earth-shaking attack followed. Ye Lingyue was already at a point where she couldn't move back anymore. An unprecedented feeling of danger overwhelmed her.

Would everything end there for her today?

She can't die. She can't die. Her mother wasn't well and she hadn't taken her revenge yet. She couldn't die no matter what.

Ye Lingyue grit down on her teeth in determination as a shout similar to that of a trapped beast rolled out of her throat. She couldn't let it go now, she couldn't let herself die there.

'Oh yes, Hongmeng Sanctuary!'

Just as Ye Lingyue was about to hide in Hongmeng Sanctuary…

"Pft…"

A hoarse chuckle rang by her ear. This sudden laughter made Ye Lingyue and the monster tremble unconsciously.

There was someone else in the cave?!

A hand suddenly appeared on Ye Lingyue's waist and carried her up.

The newcomer was very tall, and in her panic, Ye Lingyue could only hug his waist like a koala.

Before she could have a proper look at the person, Ye Lingyue felt an intense elementary force break through the air around her like an angry wave.

A white glow flashed before her eyes. That elementary force came together and formed a sharp and invincible sword aura. With a scary destructive power that could ruin the sky and the earth, it morphed into an out-pour of swords and slashed towards that monster, splitting it into two pieces before it could even avoid it.

Boom! Once that out-pour of swords slashed over, the entire cave tumbled loudly. As it shook, it destroyed half of the enormous cave.

What a scary elementary force! Ye Lingyue couldn't help but look up. At that moment, the person looked down as well and their eyes met each other.

From Ye Lingyue's point of view, the newcomer's jawline was beautiful. Moving her gaze further up, she saw a golden mask.

He was a tall and cool-looking man, and he had a pair of beautiful, amber-colored orbs. He was wearing a luxurious-looking black robe while his long hair landed on the tip of Ye Lingyue's nose, making it itch a little.

Ye Lingyue widened her eyes as she stared at the man. Who was he exactly?

Someone like him definitely didn't exist in Autumn Maple town.

Ye Lingyue believed that as long as this scarily strong man was willing to, he could turn the entire Seven Stars Mountain into flat ground.

Devil… He was too devilish.

This man had arrived in the cave long ago… But he did nothing and watched her failed attempt at dealing with the monster!

"What are you laughing at?!" Ye Lingyue couldn't help but burst out in anger.

"You're too weak." The man's lips tugged lazily, and he sounded much of a tease, too.

His tone filled with detest as Ye Lingyue's reflection appeared in his eyes.

By then, she had puffed her cheeks like an angry little bun. She looked really… delicious.

Was he laughing at her?

Anger swelled in Ye Lingyue as she easily threw a slap at the man's face.

'Bang.' He quickly grabbed her hand and then threw Ye Lingyue against the cave wall.

The man's face was so near that Ye Lingyue could feel his breath on her face.

"You're not supposed to thank me for saving your life like this.." With that said, his eyes sparkled and he pressed his lips against hers.
