"Sir, you …?" Ying Lingxue asked in a daze.
It was not that she was arrogant. As the young mistress of the Xiao Clan, countless people coveted her body. She also knew that her appearance was one of the top three in the entire Ice River City. She believed that Ye Xuan would definitely want her, and she and her son would have a backer.
But at this moment, she suddenly realized that she seemed to be very stupid, because the black-robed man in front of her looked at her without any human emotions in his eyes. His gray eyes revealed a touch of ruthlessness.
"You are still too naive, woman," Ye Xuan said faintly and casually found a chair to sit down.
"Sir, could it be … could it be … that I am not good enough for you?" Ying Lingxue's face was pale. Her heart was pierced fiercely, and she felt ashamed and angry.
"In fact, when I came here, it was reasonable to say that you would only end up dead. But after thinking about it, I still saved you and didn't take your life. After all, if I used my means to kill you, it wouldn't be of much help to my next plan."
Ye Xuan's five fingers kept tapping on the table, making rhythmic sounds. But when he finished speaking, Ying Lingxue's face was already as white as paper. Her eyes showed a touch of horror when she looked at Ye Xuan.
Because at this moment, Ye Xuan was cold and sinister. The way he looked at her didn't contain the slightest bit of human emotion. It was as if he was looking at a weak prey that could devour her at any time.
"You … who are you?"
At this moment, Ying Lingxue was extremely nervous because she found that Ye Xuan was definitely not a righteous great cultivator. Instead, he was filled with a kind of fear that made her heart palpitate. She was afraid that he was an extremely terrifying great demon.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you won't live. Before you die, I want to make a deal with you. I think this deal is a great blessing for you."
Ye Xuan slowly got up and strolled to Ying Lingxue. He looked down at her in a condescending manner, which made the woman tremble and feel extremely terrified.
"You … you want to kill me?"
Fear appeared in Ying Lingxue's eyes. She had just escaped from danger and thought that she had found someone to rely on. She did not expect that the person she thought she could rely on was the one who wanted to kill her.
"No, it's not me who wants to kill you, but you want to die in the hands of the Xiao Family. Moreover, I want Xiao Yun to personally witness you being killed by them."
Ye Xuan said lightly, as if he was talking about something very casual. But when the woman heard his words, her face turned pale. She didn't know why Ye Xuan would do such a thing.
Perhaps Ye Xuan had sensed the woman's thoughts. The corners of his mouth curled into a strange smile as he said, "There is a demon's heart hidden in your son's body. This demon's heart has yet to be activated. If I had not appeared, perhaps he would have lived an ordinary life. Perhaps you and your son would have died in the hands of the Xiao Clan."
"But now, my appearance has changed everything. I will nurture him into a demon's son, a demon's son who can compete with the strongest seeds. In the future, he might even become an existence like the strongest throughout history. Shouldn't you thank me?" Ye Xuan's voice was like a devil's as he described the future that Ying Lingxue's youth should have.
"You … you …?"
Ying Lingxue was not stupid. On the contrary, she was a very smart woman. She had already vaguely guessed Ye Xuan's purpose.
"So, the deal between you and me is very simple. Your death will draw out the demon's heart in his body. From then on, I will nurture him into an expert. I believe that you will be able to rest in peace in the underworld, right?" Ye Xuan said lightly.
Silence, dead silence, speechlessness!
The atmosphere in the room was extremely oppressive. Ying Lingxue did not speak for a long time. Her expression was constantly changing because she could completely see that Ye Xuan was not a kind person at all.
"What if I don't agree?"
After several breaths of time, Ying Lingxue raised her head and looked at Ye Xuan.
"You know the answer."
Ye Xuan smiled, but his smile was very evil and filled with extremely terrifying killing intent.
"You will kill all of us?" Ying Lingxue whispered bitterly. Although she had long guessed this outcome, she still had a trace of hope in her heart.
"I like smart people. You really didn't let me down," Ye Xuan praised.
"Okay, I promise you that I will play this game with you. But after I die, you have to promise me that you will never hurt Yun 'er."
Although Ying Lingxue was ambitious, she was still the youth's mother after all. For the sake of the youth's good life, she could only sacrifice herself.
"Thank you." Ye Xuan smiled and said with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
…
In the courtyard.
The cold winter wind was blowing and the north wind was biting cold. The uncle and niece were anxiously waiting, wondering if Ye Xuan could cure Ying Lingxue's cold blood. The uncle and niece were also constantly pacing in the side courtyard.
Creak.
The door of the room slowly opened, which also attracted the uncle and niece's attention. They saw Ye Xuan and Ying Lingxue strolling out. Ying Lingxue's originally pale little face had recovered its rosy color. She didn't look weak at all.
"Mother, your cold blood is cured?" The youth quickly walked over, his face full of excitement.
"Thank you, sir, for your help. Mother's cold blood is cured."
Ying Lingxue said with a smile, but if one looked carefully, they would find that there was a touch of sadness in her eyes. Obviously, she knew that she didn't have long to live.
"Thank you for your kindness, senior."
"Thank you, sir."
The uncle and niece hurriedly bowed to Ye Xuan.
"Sir, I would like to talk to Yun 'er. Please wait a moment."
Ying Lingxue already knew that her life was coming to an end. Naturally, she couldn't bear to part with the youth. Ye Xuan naturally agreed because this would be the last time they would be together.
Not to mention that Ye Xuan was ruthless and cruel, insisting on forcing Ying Lingxue to her death and separating mother and son forever. If Ye Xuan hadn't appeared, Ying Lingxue would have died without a doubt. She would have died under the Heaven-Returning Elixir.
Every man for himself. There were so many tragic things in this world. If Ye Xuan had a kind heart, he would have died many times over.
Moreover, if Ye Xuan hadn't appeared, the youth would have died in vain in the Ice Sea. Ye Xuan's appearance saved the youth's life, so Ye Xuan didn't feel any guilt in his heart.
"Mother, what's wrong? Could it be that your cold blood hasn't been cured?"
After being pulled aside by Ying Lingxue, the youth felt that there was something wrong with his mother, which made him panic.
"Yun 'er, you have to cultivate well in the future. You have to remember that you can't trust anyone in this world. Only when you're strong enough can you truly survive in this world," Ying Lingxue said in a deep voice.
"What about Mr. Uncle?" The youth was confused.
"You have to be careful of Mr. Ye. You can cultivate with him, but never trust him," Ying Lingxue secretly warned him through voice transmission.
