17: The enchantress declares war: Little man, you're mine!

Inside the valley, it was deathly silent.

In the air, the scorched smell of lightning, the sweet metallic scent of blood, and the exotic fragrance of the Saint medicine intermingled, creating an eerie and oppressive atmosphere.

Liu Ruyan swayed her slender waist, walking with graceful, lotus-like steps.

She walked to a spot not far from Ling Qingzhu, and seeing the other woman's face, which was cold to the extreme due to the flaw in her plan, her smile deepened, becoming even more enchantingly seductive to the bone.

“Ice Block Face, your prey ran away. Are you very angry?”

She extended her tender pink tongue and licked her fiery red lips, the thorns in her words completely undisguised.

Her posture was exactly like a fox playing with its prey.

“Do you want Big Sister to help you catch him back?”

“My ‘Ten-Thousand-Mile Soul-Chasing Incense’ is quite powerful, you know.”

“Once he's caught, he'll be at your disposal. Whether it's death by a thousand cuts or extracting his soul and refining his essence, however you want to play, Big Sister will help you pin him down.”

Ling Qingzhu's gaze turned into two ice picks, stabbing fiercely into Liu Ruyan.

In her eyes, besides the hostility of opposing good and evil, there was an added layer of sharp, confrontational scrutiny.

This enchantress definitely has a problem!

The timing of her appearance was too coincidental.

She seemed to know the ins and outs of the entire matter like the back of her hand.

Now, every sentence she spoke revolved around ‘Su Chen’... This was definitely not just a Demonic Path enchantress watching the fun!

She must also know about the diary!

At the thought of Su Chen's accurate evaluation of Liu Ruyan in the diary as a ‘purely crazy beauty,’ and seeing her current appearance of wishing for the whole world to be in chaos, the inexplicable irritability in Ling Qingzhu's heart grew wildly like a prairie fire.

She didn't want to, and didn't deign to, say another word to this crazy woman.

Ling Qingzhu ignored Liu Ruyan's crazed ramblings.

With a wave of her delicate hand, she first took the poisonous needle dipped in ‘God-Fallen Powder,’ along with Qin Feng's severed arm, and sealed them together into a specially made cold-ice jade box, tucking it close to her person.

This was evidence of Qin Feng's crimes!

More importantly, it was a key piece of evidence she would take back to prove to Su Chen that she was ‘not a silly, white, sweet’ girl!

Next, she carefully dug out the nine-leaf reincarnation grass along with the spiritual pond soil at its roots, sealing it into a more luxurious red sandalwood spiritual wood box.

Finally, her gaze fell upon the massive corpse of the Purple Lightning Thunder Lion.

A Vicious Beast of the fifth heaven of the Saint Realm was a treasure from head to toe.

Without hesitation, she made a slicing motion with her jade hand from a distance. A blade of ice flashed, the Thunder Lion's corpse was precisely split open, and a beast core flashing with purple light flew out automatically, landing in her hand.

Having finished all this, she also stored the Thunder Lion's corpse into her storage Magic Treasure.

The entire process was smooth and efficient, crisp and neat.

She deliberately treated Liu Ruyan as if she were air, using extreme disregard to respond to the other's provocation.

The primary objective of this trip had been achieved.

Although there were some flaws in the process, the result had not deviated too much.

She was now eager to return home.

She couldn't wait to head back to the Su Family; she wanted to let Su Chen know that she, Ling Qingzhu, was no longer that ‘silly, white, sweet’ girl who could be easily deceived!

She wanted him to see with his own eyes how she had turned his scheme against him to kill the hypocrite, and how she had cleanly seized the Saint medicine!

She wanted him to personally cross out the four words ‘big breasts, no brains’ from his diary in the most ashamed manner!

This thought turned into boiling lava, scorching her internal organs and driving her to want to return to that man's side immediately!

“My business does not require your interference.”

Having stowed all her spoils of war, Ling Qingzhu finally gave Liu Ruyan a cold response. Cold Qi surged around her, as if even the air was about to be frozen.

Before her voice had even faded, she transformed into a streak of cold moonlight and soared into the sky.

She wanted to leave this troublesome place that annoyed her.

“Oh, don't be in such a hurry to leave!”

Liu Ruyan's charming laughter, however, sounded behind her like a lingering shadow, possessing a playful piercing quality.

“Ice Block Face, Big Sister is giving you a kind reminder.”

Ling Qingzhu's figure came to a sudden halt in mid-air.

As if struck by lightning.

She heard Liu Ruyan's bone-deeply charming voice, filled with amusement, provocation, and an unquestionable, possessive sense of declaring sovereignty, clearly entering her ears.

“We will meet again very soon.”

“When that time comes, we really must settle the score...”

Liu Ruyan's voice paused slightly, her smile deepening as she spoke word by word, like a demonic sound pouring into her ears:

“One ‘silly, white, sweet with big breasts.’”

“One ‘purely crazy beauty.’”

“Tell me... that Little Man of ours, who lies in bed every night writing in his diary, who exactly do you think is in his heart?”

Boom!

Those words were like a red-hot iron hammer, fiercely smashing all of her composure!

She really does know!

She really has seen the diary as well!

Those ‘secret’ words that should only have existed between her and Su Chen, coming from Liu Ruyan's mouth, were like a poisoned blade stabbing deep into her heart!

Ling Qingzhu whipped her head around!

In those cold eyes, a chill exploded from within her body, more biting than anything seen before!

That Battle Intent and killing intent seemed capable of freezing heaven and earth into powder!

She locked her gaze firmly onto Liu Ruyan below.

While Liu Ruyan blew her a flirtatious, multi-faceted wink.

Her red lips parted slightly, silently mouthing two words.

The lip shape was crystal clear.

“He's mine.”

In this moment, all pretenses and probings were torn to shreds.

A war centered around Su Chen had officially begun at this moment!

Ling Qingzhu no longer held the slightest bit of wishful thinking.

She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms, yet she felt no pain.

She took a deep, concentrated look at Liu Ruyan with all her strength, said not another word, and turned into a resolute streak of light, tearing through the sky and vanishing in an instant!

That was not an escape!

It was rushing to the battlefield!

She had to get back as quickly as possible!

She had to stay by Su Chen's side!

She absolutely could not let this enchantress have any opportunity to get close to him!

Watching Ling Qingzhu's back as she almost fled in panic, the smile on Liu Ruyan's face became even more brilliant.

She extended a slender finger, gently twirling a lock of her black hair, and murmured to the empty valley.

“Hehehe... Getting anxious already? Really can't take a joke.”

“Little Man, it seems your iceberg Fiancée has completely fallen for it.”

“However...”

“My favorite game is snatching away the most beloved things from others' hands.”

Her eerie gaze seemed to penetrate millions of miles of Void Realm, landing in the direction of the Su Family's Shenzi Peak.

“You are mine.”

As her voice fell, her figure turned into a wisp of faint black smoke and also vanished from the spot.

Leaving behind only a mess on the ground, witnessing the war that had just begun.

A storm triggered by Su Chen's diary was escalating wildly in a way he could never have predicted.

And the perpetrator himself was completely unaware of it.
