Chapter 240: I Am Better Than That Useless Husband of Yours
Normally, anyone would be attracted to such a pretty man, but Tang Li was looking at his feet.
The man’s feet were not on the ground. Although he was walking, he was floating a few centimeters away from the ground.
Then, her gaze turned to the fan in his hand. On the black fan was a red Zheng. (Zheng is a legendary beast that eats tigers and leopards.)
Finally, Tang Li placed her gaze on the man’s face. She narrowed her eyes and said firmly, “You are from the Demon World.”
The man suddenly patted his hand twice with the black fan. Instead of answering, he asked, “Do you think there will be a handsome man like me in the Demon World?”
With that, he arrived in front of Tang Li in the blink of an eye. He held the fan and wanted to lift her chin.
Tang Li reacted quickly. She slapped away the fan and said in a no-nonsense tone, “Try touching me again, and I’ll cripple your hand.”
The man withdrew his fan and said with interest, “Miss, you have the look of an angel and the temperament of a demon… I like it.”
“Hmph!”
Tang Li suddenly called out, “Kylin.”
The two Kylins quickly flew over.
“Master.”
“Take care of him.”
“The ancient divine beast, Kylin?” The man looked at Tang Li and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. “That’s a lot of surprises in a day. You are actually the master of the ancient divine beast.”
After the man finished speaking, when the kirin attacked him, his body disappeared and appeared again a few meters away.
He opened the fan and started fanning.
The wind produced by the fan blew up his black hair, and the surroundings gradually dimed down.
“Unfortunately, they’re still cubs.”
With that, he quickly threw the fan in his hand at the Kylins, and a powerful black smoke was emitted from the fan.
The black smoke instantly enveloped the two Kylins. Looking at them struggling in the smoke, the man sneered more sinisterly. Without warning, he appeared from the thin air in front of Tang Li again. “Miss, come with me. I’m much better than that useless husband of yours. With us working together, we can dominate the world.”
“In your dreams!” Tang Li looked at him coldly. He was the most powerful person Tang Li had seen from the Demon World, so obviously his ranking in the Demon World was quite high. However, Tang Li was not afraid of him in the slightest.
She quickly exuded a powerful aura that instantly enveloped the man. In the next second, as she put her palm face down, a tree branch appeared in her hand. The tree branch turned into a sharp weapon and flew at the man.
The man dodged deftly and the expression on his face became more serious. He transformed the black smoke into a black whip and started to counterattack.
The wind began to roar and the black smoke gradually devoured this area. The withered branches and leaves on the ground were flying and dancing wildly in the wind.
For a moment, the world seemed to have turned upside down.
A black smoke and a golden light flashed in midair, creating a huge impact that shook the earth beneath them.
At the end, the man stopped in front of a large tree and looked at the weapon that was a few centimeters away from his chest. The golden light had already penetrated his clothes.
Tang Li said in a low voice, “How dare a demon compete with my husband? You’re courting death!”
With that, the weapon pierced through his body.
The demonic aura started to spread out from his body, and there was something very sinister about him as he sneered, “Miss, you’re so protective of your husband, but do you think he will protect you like you protected him?”
“Do you think with me around, anything like that will happen?”
“That’s hard to say. Miss, you can protect his body, but can you protect his heart?”
Hearing that, Tang Li’s expression turned even colder. The weapon formed by the tree branch in her hand stabbed deeper into his body.
“Ha…” The man did not care about the fact that his demonic Qi was leaving his body. He continued to stare into Tang Li’s eyes and said slowly,” Aren’t you looking for a little girl’s soul? I know where that little girl’s soul is. Are you sure you want to stab me to death?”
Tang Li paused and narrowed her eyes. “Where is she?”
“Miss, are you asking me?” The man deliberately said in a weak tone, “Your weapon makes me unable to remember where she is.”
Tang Li frowned and looked at him for a few seconds before pulling out the branch.
After Tang Li pulled out the branch, the golden light disappeared and it became an ordinary branch again.
The man covered his chest and a fan appeared in his hand. He continued fanning himself while saying, “I remember I brought her back to be my servant, but this little girl’s soul was too wild. I didn’t like her, so I threw her into my mansion. Miss, do you want me to bring you to my mansion to find her?”
Tang Li looked at his expression and frowned even more. “Do you think I’ll believe you?”
As expected, the man’s lips curled up and his eyes shone with a charming light. At the same time, with a wave of his fan an image appeared. The image projected the scene of him bringing Yuan Yuan back to his mansion.
At this moment, the man dispersed bit by bit until he was gone. Only his voice could be heard from a distance. “Miss, I’ll make you come to my mansion.”
Tang Li could sense where the man went, but she also sensed that Qi Yihan was in danger.
Without thinking, she rushed back.
When she reached the entrance of the cave, she saw a few demons smashing against the field and was about to break the field she set up.
Tang Li was furious. She threw a talisman at them that froze them in place and then summoned the Kylins to devour them.
Only then did Tang Li walk into the cave.
The people in the cave did not know what was happening outside. When they saw her return, they all looked at her expectantly.
Tang Li thought for a moment and said, “Let’s rest for the night and continue tomorrow.”
Whether or not the man really took Yuan Yuan away, she planned to go and take a look alone.
Before she confirmed it, Tang Li didn’t want to give them hope.
Besides, she didn’t really believe what the man said.
Hearing that, everyone was a little disappointed, but it was within their expectations. They went to rest without asking further.
Tang Li leaned on Qi Yihan’s shoulder and felt his grip tightening on her waist. She opened her eyes and looked at him in confusion.
Qi Yihan was looking at her with a deep gaze, his thoughts unreadable.
Seeing that she had opened her eyes, he raised his other hand and placed it on her cheek.
Tang Li asked him with an inquiring gaze.
He did not speak and just looked at her.
Tang Li thought for a moment and rubbed her cheek against his palm. She leaned her head against his heart and listened to his heartbeat. She said, “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”
