"Alright!" Miao Yi nodded. Clenching his fist, he stored the Inversed-Scales Spear into his storage ring. With a flick of his wrist, a meteor hammer appeared in his hand. He erased the art source within the transcendent artifact and infused it into his own.
As Luo Shuangfei was wondering what he was going to do, Miao Yi had already flung the glowing meteor hammer towards her.
Luo Shuangfei was startled. Bang! He swung his spear to block it, but as soon as they exchanged blows, he realized that the force from the meteor hammer didn't seem to be aimed at him.
"As a hostage, you should act like one. You better surrender, or else …" He raised the hand holding the purple marten again.
"No! I promise you. "Luo Shuangfei immediately sheathed her spear artifact and extended both her hands, as though she was ready to surrender.
Miao Yi took out the meteor hammer and invoked his arts to control it. The meteor hammer glowed and moved nimbly in the air like a snake, dragging a long chain behind it to tie Luo Shuangfei's hands behind his back.
Against someone at Luo Shuangfei's level of cultivation, normal steel chains wouldn't work. Unless he was bound like how he had pierced Pi Junzi's limbs in the Sea of Constellations.
However, Luo Shuangfei obviously wouldn't let him do that.
Thus, Miao Yi summoned a first grade transcendent artifact, the meteor hammer. He erased a strand of its art source and infused it into his own, allowing the transcendent artifact to recognize him as its master.
If he didn't let the transcendent artifact recognize him as its master and directly tied him up, it would be even more useless than using steel chains. This was because the other party could also invoke their arts to control the meteor hammer. Only by making the meteor hammer recognize him as its master would the Artifact Master be able to tie him up.
A chain was held between the two of them, shining brightly under the moonlight.
With his hands tied behind his back, Luo Shuangfei tried to invoke his arts to struggle, but to no avail. Instead, Miao Yi coldly glanced at him and discovered him.
"Shouldn't you release Zi 'Er now?" Luo Shuangfei roared.
From his tone, he seemed to be a little wronged. Miao Yi didn't know if it was because he had been robbed instead, or because he had never suffered such a grievance before.
Miao Yi scoffed, and suddenly swung his arm.
Luo Shuangfei let out a cry of surprise as he involuntarily fell off his dragon steed. The sand and gravel on the ground surged as Miao Yi dragged him a few meters away. Then, he angrily shouted, "What are you doing?!"
"I'm warning you, you better not play any tricks!" Miao Yi fastened the other end of the lotus seed onto Charcoal, as though warning Luo Shuangfei that if he dared to try anything funny, then it wouldn't be the same as before. Instead, he would have his mount drag him around for a few laps.
Luo Shuangfei gritted his teeth. "Let Zi 'er go."
Miao Yi leapt off his mount, his Vicious Wolf War Boots clacking against the cobblestones. With a flick of his hand, the Inversed-Scales Spear appeared in his grasp once more.
Whoosh! The sharp tip of the spear rested on Luo Shuangfei's shoulder, and the triangular barbs were practically hooked around his neck. If he dared to make any rash moves, Miao Yi would be able to retract his spear, and blood would splatter from his swan-like neck.
Miao Yi lifted the purple marten in his hand again and asked, "How do I cure the poison?"
"Let it go first!" When he finished speaking, he saw that Miao Yi didn't respond. Instead, his eyes flickered. Luo Shuangfei knew that he was suspicious. She gritted her teeth and said, "I'm already in this state. What are you afraid of?"
Miao Yi was straightforward. With a wave of his hand, the purple marten freed itself and landed on the ground. Then, it scurried back to Luo Shuangfei's shoulder, and squeaked beside Luo Shuangfei's ear. It was unclear what it was saying, but its pair of green eyes seemed to be filled with fear when it looked at Miao Yi. Who knew what it was afraid of?
Luo Shuangfei also squeaked at it, and gestured towards the riverbank with her mouth.
The purple marten on her shoulder immediately dashed away, and quickly scurried to the riverbank. It jumped onto the poisoned man's body, and bit the back of his hand.
Miao Yi's eyes flashed, and he invoked his transcendence vision to look. He saw that the faint black aura that was seeping out from the skin of the person who was bitten was quickly fading away. A black mist was sucked out from the bite wound on the back of his hand, and was quickly sucked into the purple marten's stomach.
When the black mist on the back of his hand had completely disappeared, the purple marten quickly jumped onto another person's body, and did the same thing as before.
As the black mist from each person's body entered the purple marten's stomach, the purple marten's eyes once again turned green and spirited, and the purple glow on its body appeared once more. This was a sign that its damaged vitality was being restored. It seemed like the poisonous mist was a great supplement to it.
Not long after, the purple marten had finished treating both the person and the dragon steed. It then quickly scurried back to Luo Shuangfei's shoulder, and looked at Miao Yi with a hint of fear.
"The poison in their bodies has been completely sucked out. Let us go."
Miao Yi asked, "Then why haven't they woken up yet?"
"They were poisoned by the Black Rakshasa, and have just been detoxified. How could they recover so quickly? They will naturally wake up in two hours."
"Black Rakshasa?" Miao Yi muttered. He didn't know what kind of poison it was, but it was only two hours. He could afford to wait. He stared at the purple marten on Luo Shuangfei's shoulder and asked, "This marten of yours can only detoxify one type of poison, or can it detoxify a variety of poisons?"
"Of course..." Luo Shuangfei was immensely pleased with herself as she spat out those two words. She suddenly stopped, and looked at Miao Yi warily, "What does that have to do with you? Let me go. "
From his reaction, Miao Yi could tell that this purple marten could detoxify quite a number of poisons. He clicked his tongue in approval, silently praising that this was a good thing. It seemed a little wasteful for it to fall into the hands of a mere bandit cultivator. But then again, this bandit cultivator seemed to have quite a few good things in his hands.
His gaze swept across the vest on Luo Shuangfei's upper body. He didn't ask any questions, and simply said, "There's no rush to let you go. They haven't woken up yet."
Luo Shuangfei angrily said, "I said they will naturally wake up in two hours."
"Words are no proof. How can I believe you? Just wait and see! " Miao Yi's words rendered him speechless. He stared at the purple marten on Luo Shuangfei's shoulder and said, "Put away this monster that's always staring at me. It bit me just now, and it still dares to glare at me. Do you think I won't dare to kill it?"
Hearing that he was going to kill his own purple marten, Luo Shuangfei immediately whistled. The purple marten immediately dodged into the beast sack hanging on her waist.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Miao Yi suddenly made his move. He pulled down the beast sack hanging on Luo Shuangfei's waist, and quickly fastened the opening of the sack. The purple marten couldn't even think of escaping. An artifact fell into his hands, and he hung it on his body.
Luo Shuangfei's eyes widened, and he angrily said, "Bastard! You're not keeping your word. You bastard. Return my Zi 'Er to me! "
Miao Yi hooked the spear in his hand onto Luo Shuangfei's neck. The snow-white skin on his neck immediately bled, and Luo Shuangfei didn't dare to move an inch.
However, what happened next made him even more terrified. Miao Yi, who was holding him hostage, actually moved his hand to touch his body, and began to remove the armor artifact on his upper body.
This armor artifact was completely different from the battle armor on Miao Yi's body. Miao Yi's was stiff and hard, and couldn't be taken off forcefully. However, the armor artifact on Luo Shuangfei's body was a vest. It was soft to the touch, and yet it was able to block Miao Yi's fierce attacks. He didn't know what kind of artifact it was.
Miao Yi was a little curious. Could this guy be hiding some kind of treasure under his armor? Otherwise, why would he rather be captured and become a hostage, and not take off this armor artifact as collateral? This was very unusual. Anyone would know that if they were to become a hostage, they wouldn't be able to keep their armor.
"What are you trying to do?" Luo Shuangfei's face was filled with fear. He saw Miao Yi quickly unbuttoning the armor he was wearing, and couldn't help but tremble as he said, "I'm warning you. There aren't many in this world who would dare to touch me. You better …"
A cold breeze brushed past his body. Miao Yi had already taken off his armor. Luo Shuangfei shuddered and shut his mouth. He closed his eyes and tried to turn his head to the side, but the barbs of the Inversed-Scales Spear hooked onto his neck.
Miao Yi pulled the armor over his arms, but realized that it wasn't easy to remove the other party's hands that were tied up. He turned back to look at the people still unconscious on the riverbank. He was afraid that this bastard still had some tricks up his sleeves, so he didn't dare to push him too far.
Actually, Miao Yi still suspected that the other party had some tricks up his sleeves. Otherwise, there was no reason for him to surrender like this. Why would he surrender just so he wouldn't take off his armor? He couldn't explain it, so he must have some tricks up his sleeves. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so bold.
Beneath the armor was a smooth, white body, and Miao Yi didn't find anything hidden.
With the armor on his arms tied behind his back, Luo Shuangfei's upper body was almost completely naked. Under the moonlight, his skin was as white as jade, and his waist was as soft as snow. The contours of his figure were extremely soft and beautiful, giving off a feminine charm.
The only masculine part of his body was the two large, sturdy pectoral muscles on Luo Shuangfei's chest.
It didn't matter how good his skin was, how good his figure was, or how big his pectoral muscles were. Miao Yi had no interest in men. He looked at Luo Shuangfei's naked upper body from top to bottom, but he couldn't find any treasures hidden.
He even reached out his hand to feel Luo Shuangfei's trembling skin all over. His skin was smooth and delicate, and it felt good to the touch. He then used his finger to poke at Luo Shuangfei's firm and full pectoral muscles. They were truly made of flesh and blood, and there was nothing hidden there.
Luo Shuangfei's face was flushed red from Miao Yi's touching and poking at his chest. He wanted to die so badly that he wanted to bang his head against the wall.
The chicken heart necklace hanging on his snow-white chest caught Miao Yi's attention. It was exquisite and beautiful, but he couldn't find any clues after checking it.
Miao Yi also checked the storage ring that Luo Shuangfei wore on his finger. There wasn't much inside, and the only thing that could be considered valuable was the serrated spear. As for the other miscellaneous items, Miao Yi wasn't interested in them, so he didn't take the ring with him.
He then felt around Luo Shuangfei's thigh through his pants.
He didn't find any treasures. Miao Yi helped Luo Shuangfei put his armor back on, and buttoned it up again. It seemed like he was trying to reassure Luo Shuangfei, as though he was saying that he was only checking to see if he was up to no tricks, and had no intention of stealing his armor artifact.
Unexpectedly, Luo Shuangfei slowly opened his eyes with a face full of indignation. Gritting his teeth, he spat out, "You will pay for what you did today. Let me go!"
"It's not like I can't let you go!" Miao Yi circled behind him and took off his storage ring, waving it in front of Luo Shuangfei's eyes. He was using his actions to tell Luo Shuangfei that he would first have to confiscate everything that could resist him before letting him go.
He also retrieved the meteor hammer that bound him, returning Luo Shuangfei's limited freedom. He was so anxious for the Purple Marten. Now that the Purple Marten was in Miao Yi's hands, he wasn't afraid that Luo Shuangfei would run away.
Originally, based on Miao Yi's actions in the Sea of Constellations, he would definitely kill Luo Shuangfei and take the last armor artifact he had on him. However, he was worried that Luo Shuangfei might have a backup plan, so he could only endure it for now and wait for the others to wake up.
"Why are you following me? I'm warning you. Don't get too close to me! "Miao Yi abruptly turned around and pointed his spear at Luo Shuangfei.
