When Yan Lingji saw that the first attack was ineffective, she knew that the man in front of her would be difficult to deal with. However, being arrogant by nature, she was very confident in her own strength and still felt that she had a good chance of winning, so she immediately launched a new offensive.
With the slight movement of her hand, the entire cave was on fire. The fire was more intense and raging than before, shrouding Gu Xun from all directions. In the blink of an eye, the flames swallowed up everything, including earth, stone, debris, and Gu Xun. And Yan Lingji herself.
The water stains on the ground soon evaporated completely, and the flames burned everything black and cracked. Unfortunately, Gu Xun's voice was not affected at all, and it rang clearly in Yan Lingji's ears.
"I made a deal with Ye Mu, asking for a woman who can swim in water and dance in fire. I originally just wanted to play with them, but I didn't expect that I actually found one."
The flames dissipated again, and Gu Xun was still in the same posture as before, unchanged at all, speaking half-truths and half-false words seriously.
Yan Lingji's heart became more solemn, and she no longer had the initial confidence and comfort. However, she had no intention of bowing her head and said coldly:
"The deal between you and Ye Mo is between you. I am not anyone's property!"
Gu Xun raised his eyebrows and replied in a frivolous tone:
"I don't really agree with human trafficking, but... just do as the Romans do."
"You are not as good as others and were caught by Ye Mu, so you have to accept your fate calmly and accept your fate. If you have the ability to deal with me, you won't be locked in the fish tank by Ye Mu."
With Yan Lingji's arrogant personality, of course she would not just surrender.
It's not easy to use fire, but you can also use physical skills in close combat.
The beauty's naked jade feet stepped on the still warm ground, and the large robe she wore made a sound. Her body moved and floated in front of Gu Xun's eyes. Her body turned sideways, and her long, slender legs emerged from the white He stretched out from under his robe and swept straight to Gu Xun's neck.
Gu Xunhun casually grabbed the opponent's slender but extremely powerful ankle. He didn't feel the smooth feel. He just pushed his hand back with a little force. Yan Lingji's attack was immediately neutralized, and she was still alive. He staggered back several steps, almost losing his balance.
"Let's go, stop making trouble."
Gu Xun's gentle voice sounded, and the meaning behind his words was as if he was just playing around with Yan Lingji.
Yan Lingji's eyes were filled with anger, her face was like frost, and she stared at Gu Xun closely.
She hates it most when people show such a casual expression in front of her, especially... when what he says is very disgusting.
Gu Xun didn't know Yan Lingji's inner disgust, and even if he knew... he didn't care.
We are not familiar with each other, so who cares whether you are happy or not, whether you like it or not.
"Let's go."
Gu Xun seemed to be instructing his own servants, and with a casual move, he motioned for Yan Lingji to follow him.
"I said, I'm not your... property!" Looking at Gu Xun's back, Yan Lingji once again emphasized her identity in a cold tone.
Gu Xun turned to look at the flame beauty helplessly, "I didn't say you were a thing..."
Halfway through, Gu Xun felt that it seemed a bit inappropriate to say this, so he frowned and changed his words:
"I didn't say you were my property. According to the transaction, you are now my person. You belong to... uh... a servant, not a property."
The corner of Yan Lingji's mouth curled up into a sarcastic sneer:
"For you Central Plains men, beautiful women are just playthings, not human beings."
Gu Xun couldn't help but smacked his lips when he heard this. This woman fired the map cannon and didn't forget to take out her own house. That was enough.
"From what you say, is it possible that Baiyue men are not good at women but good at men?"
"You..." Yan Lingji choked him to the point of being speechless.
Gu Xun shook his head, and then sighed:
"I said you women are also interesting. Do you think that because you are beautiful... all the men in the world are coveting your bodies and hoping to get your bodies?"
"Inexplicable confidence, really... ha..."
The contempt in her tone made Yan Lingji's forehead throb with veins.
If you don't want to be horny, why would you want a woman in the night?
"Okay, let's go. Wouldn't it be fun to keep her in the cave?" Then Gu Xun didn't wait for Yan Lingji to get angry and once again asked her to leave.
This time, Yan Lingji followed Gu Xun's pace after hesitating several times.
She wanted to see what this man had in mind, and whether he was really... clean and self-sufficient!
snort!
One of the two wore no outer robe and exposed his middle coat, and the other only wore an ill-fitting outer robe with a vacuum inside, and they went down the mountain one after another.
Gu Xun looked at the carriage that was still parked on the spot and said to Yan Lingji who arrived behind:
"Fortunately, they insisted on leaving a carriage down, otherwise you would have to walk back to Xinzheng City barefoot."
Yan Lingji looked at the carriage expressionlessly, as if unmoved. In fact, she couldn't help but feel relieved. The existence of the carriage solved her most urgent problem at the moment.
She is not a bastard like Wushuanggui, let alone walking barefoot, she has no problem walking naked.
Yan Lingji had to use her energy to protect her delicate feet from being scratched by the sand on the ground. This method took a lot of energy. Walking down the mountain was basically her limit. If she walked any further, she wouldn't be able to do it.
She didn't want to ask Gu for help.
The two got into the carriage. Gu Xun originally wanted to drive the car by himself, but when he thought about it, he was obviously accompanied by a servant who had signed a contract of sale, so why did he have to work by himself and let her enjoy the benefits?
Therefore, Yan Lingji was forced to sit outside and drive, while Gu Xun lay inside leisurely and comfortable.
Yan Lingji took the whip and drove the carriage slowly. Looking at the scenery retreating on both sides of the road, her originally angry and irritable heart gradually calmed down, her mind calmed down, and she began to think about Gu Xun's performance just now.
His strength is unfathomable, he is completely unafraid of flames, and he is probably as good at fire spells as himself.
He himself is confident in his own strength, despises others, and is domineering and arrogant.
The look in his eyes does not carry the lustful look that ordinary people would have. Maybe he is not a lustful ghost as he said, but it is not necessarily that he is a 'gentleman' who is good at acting and one thing on the surface but another behind the scenes. Yan Lingji is also not seen rarely.
The most important thing is that the other party's purpose is now unknown.
Yan Lingji didn't know what purpose he had for her, was he just greedy for beauty? Or... is there some other conspiracy?
After all, my identity is somewhat special, and there are many things involved behind it.
Now, my top priority is to figure out what purpose this man wants from me, so that I can find a way to escape.
Thinking of this, Yan Lingji took the initiative to start a conversation with Gu Xun, and her voice even returned to the soft and charming voice of a child at the beginning, obviously to gather information.
"who are you?"
It was not unusual for Gu Xun, who was lying in the carriage, to hear her question. Normal people would ask some questions to understand their current situation, so he replied lazily:
"My name is Gu Xun, and I am a doctor."
