Chapter 154: Lady Dongjun’s Romantic Heart Acted Up!

Yan Ling Ji blinked her large blue eyes.

The seductive demeanor in her gaze vanished instantly.

She had a passionate heart, but not for just anyone.

Some things, only certain people could feel!

With a slightly confused look, she pointed at the line of despairing men in black kneeling in the courtyard.

“What’s going on?”

Middle of the night, dressed like this, it was obvious they were up to no good!

Five or six men in black were terrified but obediently knelt.

Their inner powers had all been sealed.

Huddled and shivering in the cold wind~.

They had received orders from above, to capture an ordinary woman.

The higher-ups had specifically instructed.

This woman was very important.

She couldn’t be hurt, nor could they have any improper thoughts.

Lu Buwei intended to use Fei Yan to teach Li Mo a lesson and coerce him into submission.

But who knew, the moment they appeared on the rooftop, she detected them.

Ordinary woman?

Have you ever seen an ordinary woman who can freeze five or six eighth-grade experts in midair with just a lift of her hand?

A moment ago, a few people leapt down from the roof.

Before they even landed.

They saw Fei Yan’s gentle hand lift softly.

In an instant, they were like puppets with their limbs tied up.

Suspended in the air, unable to move!

Strangely though, she didn’t kill any of them.

Fei Yan took a few steps towards Li Mo, even the piercing cold wind couldn’t blow away the elegant fragrance around her.

Wearing no makeup, she hadn’t even applied any rouge.

She was naturally fair-skinned and beautiful.

Under the reflection of snow, her skin was dazzlingly pale.

When it came to fairness, she was the fairest among all the women Li Mo knew.

So fair that it seemed to emit a faint glow.

Her figure was full and perky, like a juicy peach.

“Lu Buwei sent them, planning to capture me to threaten you.”

Fei Yan looked softly at Li Mo.

Her eyes now had something they didn’t before she left.

Seeming like starlight, twinkling.

Yan Lingji’s seductive mouth corner twitched slightly.

Capture her?

Do you have enough lives to lose?

This is why Li Mo didn’t bring the others along.

He knew Lu Buwei would play such tricks.

So even if he brought Yan Lingji, she had to stay by his side at all times.

Even bathing together!

As a result, they encountered this Yin-Yang School Dongjun in the inn.

Lu Buwei mistook her for one of his people too.

Fei Yan rarely ventured into the martial world.

And whenever she handled matters, no one was left alive if they encountered her.

So many only knew her name, few recognized her.

“Are you alright?”

Li Mo nodded and asked Fei Yan.

Fei Yan’s lips curved up slowly, warmth filled her heart.

She gently shook her head and said, “I’m fine, just a few clowns.”

“I wanted to kill them, but was afraid you had other plans.”

“Didn’t want to ruin your affairs, so I made them kneel here and wait.”

She seemed completely unbothered by being involved in this.

Even a bit pleased that Li Mo’s first words were of concern for her.

The warm feeling inside was something she had never experienced before.

Li Mo didn’t expect Fei Yan to be so considerate.

This wasn’t like her at all.

Her kind of person.

If you didn’t offend her, fine.

Once offended, not killing your entire family would mean she’s in a good mood!

People of the Yin-Yang School, none acted leniently.

But now.

She held back in case he made other plans.

One must admit, she was indeed a perfect competent help.

High in strength, meticulous in thought.

“Nothing much, just one question.”

“Where’s your base?”

Li Mo took a few steps forward and asked indifferently.

The assassins glanced at him and turned away.

With stiff-necked defiance, they said, “Do whatever you want, we won’t reveal anything.”

As assassins of Luo Network, they underwent rigorous training.

They wouldn’t sell out easily.

Crack!

Suddenly, a crisp sound came.

The assassin who spoke fell limp.

“You only get one chance, if you don’t speak, others will.”

Fei Yan lowered her arm, walked to Li Mo’s side.

Her face serene, tone calm.

As if she wasn’t the one who just remotely snapped someone’s neck.

The remaining assassins instantly turned pale.

This woman, how could she kill so easily?

“You, speak.”

Fei Yan’s gaze fixed on another person.

With no emotion in her eyes.

The man’s heart chilled, feeling a cold sweat on his back.

He swallowed in terror.

Just this brief delay, Fei Yan acted again.

Another crack.

Another corpse fell.

Then she looked at the next person, as if the Grim Reaper was calling their name.

She said indifferently, “What about you?”

The assassin wanted to speak but was so scared that no words came out.

They had carried out so many missions, yet they had never encountered someone so terrifying.

Her numb gaze was more ruthless than that of these killers.

Yet, paradoxically, a smile of extreme tenderness played on her lips.

The most beautiful smile, the coldest eyes.

Saying the most gentle words, doing the most cruel deeds.

What’s this woman’s background?

If anyone were to say she was an ordinary woman at this moment, they’d definitely dig up their ancestors’ graves!

The third assassin hesitated for just a moment.

Just that brief hesitation, and there was another cracking sound.

Fei Yan didn’t even need to touch them when she struck.

Her fair hand lightly gripped the air, and an invisible hand choked their throats.

“I’ll tell! I’ll tell!”

“I’ll talk too! I’ll talk too!”

“Spare me, I’ll tell you everything!”

The remaining three were scared out of their wits, not daring to hold back any longer.

But Fei Yan gently shook her head.

“Too late, you’ve kept him waiting.”

Their faces changed drastically.

“If you kill us, you won’t know where our base is.”

They no longer cared about professional ethics.

This woman looked noble and dignified but was more terrifying than a devil!

Li Mo frowned, “Still so stubborn.”

“You think you have the right to negotiate?” Fei Yan glanced at Li Mo.

Softly she said, “What Sir wants to know, Fei Yan will do her utmost to find out.”

With that, she extended a finger and lightly tapped the forehead of one assassin.

A light glowed at her fingertip.

The assassin instantly seemed to be under a spell, standing petrified.

His eyes went blank, as if his soul had been drained!

Seeing this, the other two took a sharp breath.

Their fear was beyond words.

“Sou…Soul Exchange…Soul Exchange Technique!”

“You’re from the Yin-Yang School!”

Seeing Fei Yan’s technique, they finally understood her origins.

No one wanted to be enemies with the Yin-Yang School.

One reason was their unpredictable Yin-Yang techniques.

Another was because the Yin-Yang School people were almost all cold-blooded killers.

People in the martial world would rather offend the Luo Network than the Yin-Yang School.

They could predict positions through star trajectories.

If you offended them, you’d have nowhere to run!

These people could deduce someone’s location from the stars.

To the ends of the earth, nowhere to hide!

Fei Yan lowered her hand, her face slightly pale.

Her body wobbled uncontrollably.

Li Mo, standing right beside her, instinctively supported her arm.

Fei Yan’s heart trembled, and she looked at him softly.

The Soul Exchange Technique can erode one’s heart, peeping into the deep secrets of a person’s mind.

But it severely drains one’s mental energy.

It shouldn’t be used lightly.

In the whole Yin-Yang School, besides Donghuang Taiyi, only she and Moon Goddess knew this technique.

After questioning three people and getting no answers, Fei Yan lost her patience.

Seeing Li Mo’s displeasure, she hesitated not at all to use the technique.

“Are you alright? Sit down for a bit.”

Li Mo had planned to press further.

Unexpectedly, Fei Yan directly used the Soul Exchange Technique, disregarding the drain on her mental energy.

He felt something odd in his heart.

Is she too concerned about his matter?

“I’m fine, much better now.”

Fei Yan was briefly distracted, but her complexion quickly recovered.

Feeling the warmth from his hand on her arm.

A slight blush appeared on her face.

Her heartbeat quickened uncontrollably.

Li Mo let go, turning to finish off the remaining three.

“What does Sir plan to do?”

With the Soul Exchange Technique, Fei Yan had already learned the location of their base.

That was just one of Luo Network’s numerous strongholds in Xianyang.

It was similar to a hall.

There weren’t many people, probably forty or fifty at most.

These few eighth-ranks were already the top experts among them.

“Since they dare to come to us, we must give them some payback.”

Fei Yan immediately understood Li Mo’s intention.

She nodded lightly and said, “I’ll lead the way for you, sir.”

Li Mo pursed his lips and asked, “What about your health?”

He knew that soul-exchange techniques consumed a lot of energy and couldn’t help but worry about her.

Fei Yan felt a warmth in her heart once more.

What a considerate man.

“It’s fine, I won’t be a burden to you, sir.”

A mere few dozen second-rate people, she could easily charge in and kill them all.

Coming over to capture people and leaving without consequences—how could this world have such a good deal!

If she didn’t teach Lu Buwei a lesson today, Li Mo would write his name backward!

Luo Network’s strongholds often changed.

And each stronghold didn’t know of others’ existence.

Privacy was well maintained.

This is also one reason Luo Network, although famous across the seven nations, could still maintain its mystery.

Li Mo and Fei Yan didn’t take long to clear out everyone in the stronghold.

No one was left, not even the dog at the door!

After killing the people, they walked back as if nothing had happened.

The heavy snow had stopped.

The dim road was piled with snow.

Their steps made a crunching sound as they walked on it.

It was the only sound in the night.

Fei Yan, walking beside Li Mo, occasionally glanced at him.

Her eyes were full of curiosity.

She really couldn’t understand how Li Mo, at such a young age, had already reached the divine realm.

She herself was a few years older.

Reaching her current level was already considered extraordinary talent.

But this person was not only younger but had also earlier stepped into a realm she couldn’t even aspire to.

“Lady Dongjun seems to have some questions.”

Li Mo noticed her moving her lips a few times, but every time the words almost came out, she swallowed them back.

He couldn’t help but find it amusing.

The dignified Lady Dongjun of the Yin-Yang School had turned into a little woman who didn’t dare to speak.

Seeing the smile on his lips, Fei Yan’s face involuntarily turned slightly red again.

Her heart couldn’t help but race.

It was better when Yan Lingji was around.

Now, alone with him, she felt a nervousness she had never experienced before.

When did she become so useless?

Fei Yan couldn’t resist cursing herself in her heart.

“Sir… you needn’t be so formal, just call me Fei Yan.”

Hearing “Lady Dongjun” from his mouth felt somewhat distant.

Li Mo nodded, “Miss Fei Yan.”

Fei Yan pursed her red lips and softly corrected, “It’s Fei Yan, not Miss Fei Yan.”

Including “Miss” still felt distant.

Li Mo sensed the sudden shyness on her face.

He was suddenly taken aback.

Something’s not right!

“Fei Yan.”

He tentatively said it.

Sure enough, there was a smile at the corner of Fei Yan’s eyes.

It sounded more comfortable like this.

Li Mo observed her expression changes keenly.

Something’s off about you!

His first thought wasn’t whether Fei Yan might have feelings for him.

There was no reason for it!

He hadn’t flirted with her!

How could a woman with a cold heart for over twenty years fall for someone so easily?

Lack of love couldn’t be this severe.

They had only known each other for a few days.

Suddenly, Li Mo furrowed his brows slightly.

The reason they met was that Fei Yan likely deduced his connection to the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions.

That’s why she approached him.

So, what about her current demeanor?

Could it all be an act too?

Li Mo mentally prepared himself.

He absolutely couldn’t fall into her sweet trap so easily.

If anyone were to fall, it should be her!

After thinking for a moment, Li Mo spoke, “Calmed down yet?”

“What?”

Fei Yan was momentarily dazed and looked at him in confusion.

Li Mo shrugged, “Those assassins disturbed your rest, aren’t you angry?”

Fei Yan gently shook her head and said, “If someone is an eyesore, just kill them.”

“Why get angry?”

All her life, she had never really been angry about anything.

Li Mo chuckled softly, “You really are indifferent.”

Fei Yan was indeed indifferent by nature.

Because she had nothing to worry about.

Whoever made her unhappy would be killed.

So naturally, there was nothing to be unhappy about!

Solve the problem at its root, convenient and efficient.

But now…

She looked up at Li Mo.

But now, this matter didn’t seem so easy to resolve.

Couldn’t just outright tell him that she suddenly had feelings for him, right?

Couldn’t ask him what to do, could she?

How could she say such a thing?

How embarrassing!

Fei Yan lowered her head, her mouth twitching slightly.

She seemed a bit lost.

She had never thought that one day she would be troubled by something like this!

“But still, I can’t let this go.”

Li Mo’s voice rang in Fei Yan’s ears again.

Fei Yan looked up gently at him, “Then I’ll go kill Lu Buwei for you.”

As long as Li Mo nodded, she would go now!

As long as you’re happy, that would be enough.

Li Mo’s mouth twitched.

“Lu Buwei is not so easy to kill.”

“He has three thousand guests, most of them top experts.”

“His mansion is heavily guarded.”

Moreover, even if she went, could she really kill him?

If she made a move, it would implicate the entire Yin-Yang School as traitors to Qin.

Fei Yan gently shook her head, looking at him resolutely, “I’m not afraid.”

Li Mo: “？”

Isn’t it possible?

You’re serious?

Li Mo was greatly shocked.

This girl caught the love bug?
