She didn't know what had come over her. She had become so angry because of the words “Shu Yao is his everything”. The moment she heard them, she hated so much that she almost couldn't help revealing her true form.
Suddenly, she felt it was rather ironic. It was really not worth getting so impulsive for a man.
Despite all her unwillingness and resentment, she finally drew back her sharpness and pulled him back from the brink of death.
As soon as that hand loosened, Shu Yue immediately fell to the ground from mid - air. He knelt on one knee, half - closing his eyes and looking up. A hoarse and raspy voice came from his throat: “Why, why did you spare me again?”
“The people I, Liuli, want, I will surely get. I spared you because sooner or later, I will make you my man.”
She held her head high. As the most noble princess of the Fox Clan, she was confident that she could obtain whatever she desired in the world.
Even if Shu Yue was like an ice block that was hard to melt, she believed once again that with her beauty and persistence, she could eventually move him.
Shu Yue didn't say a word. He just slightly curled his lips. The smile on his lips was a bit disdainful and contemptuous.
It even made Liuli's previously unshakable confidence waver slightly.
“I will never stop until I get you in this lifetime.” Just as she was about to fling her sleeves and leave, her eyes suddenly shifted to the faint blooming blood on Shu Yue's shoulder, which was extremely enchanting against the black fabric.
Her beautiful eyes tightened. The complex and changeable look in them was just a fleeting moment. Then, pretending to be nonchalant, she dropped a cold sentence: “I will come again.”
A green light disappeared, and only then did Shu Yue's nerves suddenly relax. Although he was very brave, the fine cold sweat on his forehead showed that he was still in a state of shock.
He was not afraid of death, but afraid that he would never see his father again.
Liuli's ethereal voice still echoed in his ears, and from then on, it became a lingering nightmare for him, like a demonic sound torturing his eardrums.
At this moment, Liuli flew to a place as cold as an ice cellar.
Although this place was magnificent and grand, a faint smell of bloodlust could be smelled in every corner. It was also filled with strong desires, greed, power, and curses.
As soon as a snow - white figure landed, it caught Shui Yun's attention.
The figure turned around. A cold and beautiful face came into view of his silver pupils. The light in his eyes immediately dimmed, as if he was very unhappy about this unexpected guest.
“Such a rare visitor.” Shui Yun deliberately drawled out the lazy tone and poked his head out from behind the golden pillar.
Liuli's eyes shifted, and she saw a tall and handsome man walking towards her gracefully.
He was dressed in a moon - white long robe. His eyes were as cold as the moon, and his black hair flowed smoothly like ink, lazily hanging on his shoulders. The most eye - catching thing was his long and slender eyes. At first glance, they seemed to be full of charm, but there was a glint of moonlight in them.
“Where is Yan Yijue? I want to see him.” Liuli got straight to the point without even the most ordinary greetings.
“The Snake Lord is in seclusion and won't see anyone. If the princess has any business, please tell me and I will convey it to the Snake Lord.”
“Who do you think you are? I only want to see Yan Yijue!”
Although Shui Yun was used to the Fox Clan princess's usual disdain and contempt, her overbearing attitude this time still made him a bit unhappy.
He had been as gentle as jade originally, but now his expression darkened a bit. He said coldly, “I don't care about this. I'm just following the Snake Lord's order. Without his permission, I can't let you see him.”
“Shui Yun, you're just a dog beside Yan Yijue. How dare you make decisions for him here? If you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for being ruthless.”
“Maybe I'm worthless in the eyes of the princess, but the Snake Lord said that during his seclusion, I'm in charge of all the power in the Snake Realm.”
The pride on his handsome face was obvious. Every curl of his lips and every raise of his eyebrows were like a blatant irony and provocation to Liuli.
Liuli hated provocation the most, because that kind of look would make her feel disgusted and even more angry.
“Since you want to seek death, I'll grant your wish.” She stared at him coldly and without hesitation raised her hand to strike Shui Yun.
Just as Shui Yun was also getting ready, a cold and imposing voice broke the impending chaos.
“Let her in.” This voice slowly came from the entrance and echoed in the huge Snake Palace, lingering in the air and making people shiver.
Shui Yun didn't dare to disobey. Although he was dissatisfied with the pride on Liuli's face, he still followed the Snake Lord's order and let Liuli pass.
As she passed by him, Liuli gave him a charming smile: “Thank you, little snake demon.”
Although her smile was so gentle and charming, the laughter was like needles pricking Shui Yun's nerves.
Watching that graceful figure enter the entrance, a jealous hatred welled up in his heart.
After entering the entrance, it was as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. Only cold - blooded animals like snakes could stay in such a place.
Liuli rubbed her hands. The cold air penetrated her clothes and entered her body, making her shiver. Her eyes immediately fell on Yan Yijue sitting cross - legged in the ice mist.
Every time she saw this man, she couldn't help but sigh at his coldness and domineering. His peerless beauty, noble and cold temperament seemed to be inborn, with an inviolable kingly aura.
It seemed that he was the destined king, a monarch who made people submit to him.
But for her, it was just a sigh, not the infatuation like other women had for him.
“What do you want from me?” Yan Yijue still closed his eyes calmly, not affected by the visitor at all.
“Yan Yijue, I'm here just to tell you that if you hurt the people I care about again, don't blame me for turning against you.”
Suddenly, Yan Yijue opened his eyes, revealing a pair of enchanting red eyes. The corners of his eyes were charmingly upturned, and his pupils reflected the obsession on that face that he had already seen through.
He just let out a few cold laughs from his red lips: “Oh, I didn't expect that the always self - centered Fox Clan princess would fall in love with a mortal. It's really a surprise.”
Liuli wasn't surprised. She knew that Yan Yijue had the ability to see through everything, but she still didn't like him saying it so directly.
“It has nothing to do with you. I just want to warn you to stay away from him.”
The man's picturesque eyebrows were covered with a layer of frost. He opened his charming red lips, smiling but not really smiling: “Liuli, in this world, you're the only one who dares to talk to me like this.” The smile gradually disappeared, leaving only a cold look in his eyes: “But it doesn't mean that you can stop me. You're not qualified.”
His eyes were very sharp, as if they could pierce through Liuli. It was a pity that although he could see through everything, he couldn't see through this woman's heart.
The Snake and Fox Clans were originally mortal enemies, but because of a bit of affection between him and her in the past, he spared the Fox Clan when he was conquering the demon world.
In the whole demon and monster world, only Liuli could be so arrogant and willful, not putting him in her eyes.
“I really don't have the qualification to stop you, but as long as it's related to that mortal, I will try every means to stop it.”
