193: Zhi Nan, are you afraid of me?

In the desolate Mining Area, the frightened beastmen scurried away with their heads in their hands.

Dressed as a Male, Nan Zhisui stood under the moonlight, looking at Long Yi from a distance.

It was quite interesting; if she were in Female attire now, Long Yi might not have recognized her. However, she had specifically disguised herself as a Male to enter the Torture Cave smoothly.

Didn't this make her look exactly like the Zhi Nan from five years ago?

Long Yi walked toward Nan Zhisui step by step, and she sensitively took half a step back.

Long Yi said, "Afraid of me? You only know how to be afraid now?"

The pressure from a Nine-Pattern Beast Emperor was immensely powerful. "When you pulled out my Ancient Sword, destroyed my Formation, and rescued the beast gods physical body that I worked so hard to Seal, why weren't you afraid then?"

"Zhi Nan."

"Why must you be my enemy?"

Nan Zhisui spoke up, "Before today, I didn't know that you were actually the High Priest."

Long Yi asked, "Then what are you? The leader of the Insurgent Army?"

Nan Zhisui remained noncommittal.

Long Yi took another step forward. "Give me the beast gods physical body, and I can let today's events slide. In the future... we can still be friends."

Long Yi didn't understand.

For the past five years, he had repeatedly yearned for this person, almost going mad because of her.

Yet this person he had been longing for had actually secretly established the Insurgent Army during these five years to oppose him.

"I don't want to be your enemy, Zhi Nan. I've missed you very much these past five years." Long Yi tried to win her back.

Nan Zhisui took another step back. "Yi. Why did you want to slay the beast god?"

With his black hair flowing wildly, Long Yi reached out his hand toward her. "It's not convenient to explain. But I have not betrayed the Beast World."

"Don't retreat anymore; walk toward me."

"We can witness the prosperity of this Beast World together!"

As Long Yi pressed closer step by step, Nan Zhisui's mind was a chaotic mess.

"You want me to help you conquer the world?"

"There's no need for that. But you can stand by my side."

Perhaps because he was a Black Dragon Beastman, Long Yi was born with a domineering draconic aura.

He possessed a charm that made people involuntarily want to submit to him.

However, Nan Zhisui had no such thoughts.

She was someone who wanted to be an empress herself; she had never considered standing behind someone else to assist them.

Besides, their positions were completely incompatible.

Nan Zhisui asked, "Long Yi, you know about the childbearing system, right? What is your relationship with it?"

Long Yi's expression changed slightly. "You even know about the childbearing system?"

Nan Zhisui laid her cards on the table and questioned him, "I know more than you imagine. Are you in league with the System?"

Facing this aggressive Little fellow, Long Yi said unhurriedly, "As expected of the Great Sage Zhinan of Myriad Beast City. I didn't expect you to have even investigated the System. But I'm sorry, I can't tell you much about the System right now."

Nan Zhisui gave him a cold look.

Long Yi, however, continued to watch her with a smile.

It was truly strange.

Five years ago, when he played with her and saw her smile, he thought she was cute.

Now, she was clearly acting as his enemy, questioning and pressuring him.

Yet he still found her dazzling, making it impossible for him to look away.

Long Yi strode toward Nan Zhisui: "Zhi Nan, give me the beast gods physical body. Let's reconcile, alright?"

Nan Zhisui wasn't even willing to negotiate with him.

Several homemade bombs appeared in her hand, and she threw them toward Long Yi.

After several consecutive explosions, the Black Dragon Male slowly walked out from the smoke.

Black scales covered his entire body, and curved dragon horns grew from the top of his head.

In an instant, he charged toward Nan Zhisui like an arrow leaving a bow!

The black snake totem on Nan Zhisui's body suddenly brightened, and dozens of ice cones appeared around her, stabbing toward Long Yi!

Long Yi avoided her ice cones. "You're not just a Sage and a Priest. Now, you're even a warrior with a Supernatural Ability? You've truly brought me many surprises; you are the person most qualified to stand by my side!"

Long Yi revealed his true Black Dragon form; he found it somewhat interesting to fight her.

Nan Zhisui transformed into her snake form, her lower body becoming a snake tail covered in red scales.

Long Yi's eyes narrowed slightly.

She was a Snake Beastman?

She whipped her snake tail violently, and a massive ice sword condensed in her hand as she charged at Long Yi like an arrow.

One was a colossal Black Dragon.

The other was a petite red snake.

He held back his strength while striking her a few times, but as the fight went on, Long Yi became surprised by her power.

The four snow-white dots on her face—was she a four-pattern Beast General?

No, her strength had clearly reached the Beast King level!

Nan Zhisui grabbed his shoulder and flipped onto his back. The ice sword in her hand quickly transformed into an ice spike, which she thrust powerfully toward his head!

A Dark Vortex appeared behind Long Yi, swallowing Nan Zhisui's ice spike whole.

He turned around to grab Nan Zhisui's tail.

Nan Zhisui jerked her tail back and retreated quickly.

Long Yi's face was filled with astonishment as he seriously sized up this small Male.

Quick reactions, great speed, and very agile.

Her combat power wasn't weak. Although she couldn't beat him, she could probably fight against several high-level priests from the Priest Hall.

She was truly... very intelligent, able to crack priestly Formations and possessing considerable combat ability.

The Little fellow was constantly bringing him surprises.

Nan Zhisui was panting.

He was so hard to fight. A Nine-Pattern Beast Emperor was truly difficult to deal with.

He was just playing with her, only defending and not attacking.

Yet, he was like a great mountain blocking her path.

Nan Zhisui couldn't help but think of five years ago. They had clearly been friends for a while, yet now they were completely on opposite sides.

Long Yi also returned to human form and said indulgently, "Do you want to keep playing?"

The High Priest of Myriad Beast City, the strongest in the Beast World, a Peak nine-pattern existence.

Winning a fight was fundamentally impossible.

Nan Zhisui's mind raced.

If she couldn't win head-on, she would use another method.

Attacking the heart was the best strategy.

Nan Zhisui parted her red lips and began to talk nonsense, "Do you like me?"

Long Yi's pupils constricted sharply.

Long Yi's expression gave Nan Zhisui a fright. She immediately felt that something was wrong.

He said seriously, "You can understand it that way."

Nan Zhisui: "..."

What the hell? Whether it was five years ago or now, she was appearing as a Male.

Could he be gay?

Such a handsome and powerful High Priest was actually gay? That was... too regrettable!

Long Yi didn't fall for her trap; instead, he counterattacked with words that were even more shocking.

"I don't like Males. Nor do I like Females."

He reached out his hand to her again, "But I like you."

"Come here and stand by my side. When I become the beast god, I am willing to share eternal life with you."

...As time passed minute by minute, the power of Moonlight Echoing Return was gradually fading, and her energy synchronization with her beast husband Xuan Jin was dropping.

Unless Nan Zhisui ran back and gave Xuan Jin another kiss.

Xuan Jin, Wolf Day, and Wolf Night were surrounded by five Eight-Patterned Priests. As their power declined, their disadvantage became apparent.

The Black Snake Beastman spat out a mouthful of blood and glanced in Nan Zhisui's direction.

Even the Beast Emperor Long Yi had come.

This battle had reached a state where Long Yi's side was completely crushing them.

There was simply no possibility of winning.
