Chapter 585: The Passionate Young Master!
The Extreme Yin Old Man never appeared in The Legend of the Two Dragons, but Happy had heard of him before. In his past life, he was renowned as a poison master whose skills rivaled those of the Tang Sect. His expertise in using and administering poisons made him feared by both good and evil factions, even earning him the status of a distinguished guest among the Yin Queen’s followers.
“Fall!”
As soon as the Extreme Yin Old Man spoke, Happy immediately sensed a strange change in the air. With the convergence of flying needles, an unusual fragrance quickly spread through the air.
Shi Feixuan staggered!
Her state of mental clarity diminished sharply.
The powerful sword strike was effortlessly blocked by the Extreme Yin Old Man, who, being cautious, did not rush forward despite seeing his prey trapped.
“What an impressive Extreme Yin Old Man, such formidable poison skills.” Even though she realized she had been poisoned silently, Shi Feixuan remained calm, her composure truly admirable.
“The people of Ci Hang Jing Zhai are indeed extraordinary. An ordinary female disciple yet with such composure.” The Extreme Yin Old Man realized that Shi Feixuan was different from all the women he had met. She could still stay calm under his deadly poison.
Just then, a clear and pleasant laugh cut through the night sky, appearing near the two of them. The enchanting Wanwan appeared before their eyes:
“Giggle… Miss Shi must have sensed someone protecting her, which is why you’re so calm, right?” After a pause, she said with a smiling face, “Elder Extreme Yin, I’m short of a maid. How about we make a deal? Give her to me, and I’ll pick out a few disciples from the Demon Sect for you.”
“Of all the people in the Demon Sect, only you little girl can compare to this girl. What do you think?” The Extreme Yin Old Man, not wanting this little girl to follow as well, snorted coldly, “Or do you want to serve personally?”
“I have no problem serving personally, but I’m afraid it might shorten Elder Extreme Yin’s life, preventing you from dying a natural death…” Although Wanwan appeared respectful on the surface, her words clearly hid her mockery of the Extreme Yin Old Man.
The Extreme Yin Old Man sneered coldly:
“I’m too lazy to argue with you. I’ll take this girl back. I’m curious to see how the Yin Queen will demand her back from me.”
“Elder Ji Yin, you’re old and your eyes and ears are failing. Didn’t I just say that there are people protecting Miss Shi nearby? Yet you still thought you could succeed all by yourself…” Wanwan’s words finally made the Elder Ji Yin look serious. He glanced around when a clear laugh came from afar: “Miss Wanwan, I truly don’t wish to be your enemy. But Miss Shi is my lifelong confidante—a peerless beauty. How could I allow such a wonderful woman to fall into the hands of the Elder Ji Yin?” The handsome young man in white, holding a beauty fan, Hou Xibai, appeared beside the three of them like a phantom, smiling calmly and composedly. Seeing Hou Xibai appear, Shi Feixuan, regardless of his identity as a member of the demonic sect, calmly sat cross-legged and used her cultivation to expel the poison… “Phantom Movement, Beauty Fan—you’re Hou Xibai, a disciple of the Flower Sect, and a disciple of the Evil King.” The Elder Ji Yin had assumed those protecting Shi Feixuan would be from the righteous sect, but instead, they turned out to be fellow demonic sect members, even descendants of the Evil King, and they seemed determined to fight against them, which surprised him greatly. “That’s right, it’s indeed me.” Standing under the moonlight, Hou Xibai had an extraordinary appearance and demeanor that immediately won people’s favor. Standing beside Shi Feixuan and speaking those words, he exuded a sense of sacrificing everything for love. “Young Master Hou, you’re well-known for your love of flowers. But I suppose you won’t harm me, right?” Wanwan moved gracefully, her manner alluring. Hou Xibai smiled wryly while fanning himself: “Of course, I don’t want to be your enemy, Miss Wanwan. But please don’t make things difficult for Feixuan either. Otherwise, I’ll be in a very difficult position.” “Hmph, you really are a romantic. But it will be hard for you to save Shi Feixuan tonight.” Wanwan’s eyes sparkled as she said lightly, “Elder Ji Yin, if you stop Young Master Hou, I’ll take Miss Shi back to our sect.” “…Very well.” Although the Elder Ji Yin was reluctant to let Shi Feixuan fall into Wanwan’s hands, it was still better than letting her escape. Shi Feixuan had been listening to their conversation the whole time and knew that with Hou Xibai’s strength, it was impossible for him to fight two opponents at once. She sighed and said, “I appreciate your kindness, Young Master Hou. But you’d better leave. Otherwise, if my master finds out, he’ll blame you.” “Don’t worry, Miss Feixuan. For a man to live up to his worth, he must be able to protect the woman he loves. Everything else is meaningless.” As soon as Hou Xibai finished speaking, Wanwan and the Elder Ji Yin rushed at him at the same time. “I really want to see how you’ll protect this girl today.”
Just as the three of them engaged in combat, an unexpected voice interjected once again: “What a beautiful moonlit night! Fighting and killing will surely spoil such a lovely scene.”
With another sudden change, Wanwan quickly stepped out of the fighting circle, looking somewhat surprised toward the woods from where the voice came. A dark figure swiftly became clearer as it approached.
Shi Feixuan also looked at the newcomer in surprise.
A blue-robed man…
“It turns out to be the young master. Could it be that you, like Young Master Hou, are enemies of Wanwan over a woman?” The crisp and pleasant voice carried a hint of melancholy, drawing people in involuntarily.
Hou Xibai was stunned for a moment before seeing a young man of impressive demeanor approaching with a smile, saying,
“Brother Hou, you’re the best at dealing with women. It’s better to leave Miss Wanwan to you. Please comfort her well. As for this old fool, I’ll reluctantly hold them off to buy some time for Miss Shi.”
“If that’s the case, I wouldn’t dare refuse.”
Seeing that it was one of his own, Hou Xibai was overjoyed: “I haven’t yet asked your name, sir.”
“Kai Xin, a disciple of the Murong family.”
At these words, both Hou Xibai and Shi Feixuan reacted: “So it’s Young Hero Kai Xin from the Murong family of Gusu! We’ve long heard of your fame!”
“In that case, I appreciate it, Young Hero Kai Xin. One day, Feixuan will personally come to thank you.”
“Hmph!”
A gloomy snort came from the side, reaching the ears of the three.
The Old Man of Extreme Yin became extremely angry.
Everything had been going smoothly today, but unexpected visitors kept showing up—first Wanwan, then Hou Xibai, and now this young disciple from the righteous path. Although he had heard of Kai Xin’s name, he was still a junior, and seeing that the boy before him seemed ordinary and even dared call him an old fool, he sneered:
“I really want to see how capable these young people are these days!”
Hearing this, Kai Xin turned around: “I was also eager to test your strength…” Hearing the deliberate emphasis in the latter’s words, the face of the Old Man of Extreme Yin was instantly covered with cold murderous intent.
