You seem to have gotten something wrong!
If it weren't for the fact that this was her little sister, the woman in red might have blown up the entire carriage.
Earlier, she'd ridden her ghost horse, sealed his spiritual sea, and bound him with immortal-restraining chains. The way she saw it, Ye Zichen posed no threat at all.
However, she'd been worried that Ye Zichen would run his mouth in the carriage, so she'd dismounted and boarded.
She hadn't expected her little sister to give her such a pleasant surprise as soon as she got on the carriage.
Brother-in-law?
"Big Sister."
Sensing the woman in red's fury, Xue Beibei, who'd been about to approach, bit her lip and smiled foolishly. However, she didn't budge.
"Honey, don't scare our little sister," scolded Ye Zichen.
Ye Zichen scolded him, then looked at Xue Beibei as if he really were her brother-in-law.
"Sister-in-law, don't be afraid. Brother-in-law will protect you. If your sister dares do anything to you, I won't sleep with her tonight. Let's see if she'll fret or not! "
Instantly, the temperature in the carriage plummeted below zero.
The woman in red stood in front of the carriage door, her face wreathed in undisguised fury. Her murderous aura threatened to tear the heavens apart.
Boundless spiritual pressure radiated from her body. Ye Zichen couldn't help but arch his brows when he sensed it.
A peak sky immortal.
Judging from the density of her spiritual energy, she was probably only a step away from becoming an immortal king.
This spiritual pressure targeted only Ye Zichen, so Wu Di and Xue Beibei didn't feel any discomfort at all.
"If you really want to die, I can help you."
The woman in red's voice seemed to rise from the depths of hell. Just hearing her tone was enough to make anyone shiver involuntarily. It seemed she was truly angry. Ye Zichen thought about it for a moment and decided it was best not to provoke her further.
"Fine, fine, fine. I won't say anything, then. I know you're thin-skinned, but there's no outsider here, right ….. "
When he saw that the woman in red was about to erupt like a volcano, Ye Zichen licked his lips and hurriedly admitted defeat.
"Fine, I was wrong. Spare me, heroine!"
After ruining her chastity like this, the woman in red was truly intent on killing him. Even though Ye Zichen was begging for mercy, she continued to stare coldly at him.
Ye Zichen was truly afraid she'd do something stupid. All he could do was look at Xue Beibei pleadingly.
Xue Beibei was furious. From the look on her sister's face, she knew she'd been tricked by that lecher. However, in the end, it was her own stupidity that made her sister so angry.
After thinking for a while, she licked her lips and cautiously moved closer.
"Sis, don't be angry. Bei Bei knows his mistake."
She pouted pitifully, her big eyes filled with grievance and regret. The red-clothed woman rubbed Xue Beibei's head helplessly.
"You still know you're wrong?"
Although these words seemed to be reprimanding her, her doting eyes betrayed her true thoughts. Sure enough, Xue Beibei's pitiful attack immediately defeated the woman in red.
"Alright, I won't blame you."
"Big sister is the best."
Xue Beibei kissed the woman in red on the cheek. The woman in red rubbed Xue Beibei's head affectionately, then turned to Ye Zichen with a cold gaze and snorted.
"For my little sister's sake, I'll spare your life, but don't think for a second that you're truly safe. You'd best tell me everything you know, otherwise …. Hmph …."
In truth, the woman in red hadn't originally intended to kill Ye Zichen. After all, Ye Zichen was extremely important to her. She'd never caught any of the black-robed men who'd robbed her merchant association of their resources. Either they couldn't catch them, or if they did, they killed themselves. That way, they wouldn't be able to find any valuable clues.
Ye Zichen was the first person they'd caught yet still hadn't died. She had to get some useful information out of him.
"Speak, who sent you here?"
The woman in red sat down across from Ye Zichen, her gaze icy.
"What did you say?" When he heard her question, Ye Zichen was dumbfounded. "What do you mean 'who sent us'? We, master and disciple, sent ourselves?"
Bang!
She viciously slapped the cushion next to her, startling Wu Di. Her aura surged, and the woman in red's aura surged.
"Don't try to play dumb with me. I advise you to hurry up and confess everything you know. Otherwise, once we get to Raging Flame City, I have ten thousand ways to make you wish you were dead and force you to spill the beans. "
"What the hell are you talking about?" Ye Zichen furrowed his brows. "You're a fine girl. Why do you seem a little mentally disturbed? What nonsense are you spouting? I'm your benefactor. If you don't repay me with your body, that's one thing, but now you're actually interrogating me? "
"Still pretending? You won't shed a tear until you see your coffin, huh?"
As she spoke, the woman in red smiled coldly and took out a ring. It was none other than the ruby-encrusted ring Ye Zichen had picked up.
"Then why don't you tell me why this ring is in your hands?"
"I picked it up!" Ye Zichen answered truthfully.
"Picked it up?" The woman in red acted as if she'd just heard the funniest joke in the world. She slipped the ring onto her ring finger, cocked her head, and laughed. "Do you know how much this ring is worth? There are at least a hundred million worth of pills, talismans, and precious artifacts in there. You're telling me you picked it up? You really are a lucky bastard!"
"My luck is indeed pretty good!" Ye Zichen replied.
Bang!
"Impudent!"
Her palm slammed heavily on the leather seat next to her. This time, when she took her hand away, there was a charred handprint on the leather seat.
"This ring belongs to the Skyspan Trading Company, yet you say you picked it up? Tell me, what's your relationship with those black-robed men? Who's your mastermind? Tell me the truth! "
Wu Di had long since sensed that these people were no ordinary people, but he never would have guessed they had such a powerful background.
The Skyspan Trading Company.
They were the largest auction house in the Northern Divine Mountain's seventy-two districts. Practically every district had at least three of their auction houses. From the spiritual pills and magical artifacts needed by immortal kings to the ordinary weapons and body tempering pills for body tempering, the Skyspan Trading Company could satisfy them all.
Rumor had it that the Skyspan Trading Company wasn't just active in the Northern Divine Mountain's seventy-two districts; they were active in the other lower lands as well. Rumor had it that they were active in the Yao Realm as well.
Wu Di's Adam's apple bobbed up and down uncontrollably. By now, he was at a complete loss for what to do. However, Ye Zichen just smiled calmly. He looked at the woman's protruding breasts and gulped. Then, his expression turned serious.
