Chapter 2059: Chapter 2059 Playing With Fire
Li Xingrou felt an immense sense of ease after consuming the elixir.
Ye Liuyun intentionally reminded her, "Shengnan, elixirs are used for their healing effects. You’ve taken a dozen of them and the results are palpable. I believe there is no need for you to continue taking them."
Li Xingrou was seated on the chair as she listened to him, feeling as light as a feather. "Which women wouldn’t desire to be beautiful?" she retorted to Ye Liuyun. "You men wouldn’t understand!"
"I’m worried that you would be too reliant on this Elixir! It would be best taken infrequently. You are not supposed to take it every day." Ye Liuyun thoughtfully gave her advice.
But Li Xingrou was not in the mood to listen to his advice.
"Are you worried about the high cost of producing this elixir? Rest assured, I won’t let you suffer any losses!"
As she said it, Li Xingrou casually tossed an Interspatial Ring to Ye Liuyun. In it, were millions of high-grade Spirit Crystal.
"This isn’t about the money, I’m worried about your health!"
Ye Liuyun felt a pang of joy as he was talking to her. Li Xingrou’s eagerness to pay such a high price for the elixir surprised him.
Watching how Li Xingrou got addicted step by step, Ye Liuyun felt that he was about to reach his goal. However, he couldn’t help but feel somewhat guilty.
Without warning, Li Xingrou leaned towards Ye Liuyun and planted a kiss on his cheek.
She also believed that Ye Liuyun was undoubtedly not short on money as an alchemist. Elixir concoction and weaponry were both the most profitable industries. Therefore, she intended to seduce Ye Liuyun with her charms.
"This is your reward from me. You mustn’t tell anybody else! From now on, you should refine the elixirs for me without excuses!" Li Xingrou whispered into Ye Liuyun’s ear.
Ye Liuyun felt rather embarrassed by her action.
However, he secretly thought, "Fine! She wasn’t innocent to begin with. Why should I worry about her fate when she is determined to pursue this?"
Li Xingrou chuckled with a girlish charm. The beauty of her eyes was embodied in her flirtatious manner. She gently caressed Ye Liuyun’s cheek before she turned around and left.
Her tactic had worked on many naive, young men, leaving them besotted with her.
However, she did not intend to offer more than that to them. It was merely a deliberate display of temptress.
She was unintentionally playing with fire because her carefree attitude had already led her to a dangerous situation.
"Alas! This woman is courting disaster!" With a sigh, Azure lamented helplessly from the side.
Without further ado, Ye Liuyun turned to resume his cultivation without wasting another minute to think about it.
Not many days later, another troublemaker came looking for Ye Liuyun.
Liu Xing, having spent several days scheming, came up with an insidious plan. He borrowed the Northsky Sect’s Formation Flag from his master, intending to confine Ye Liuyun and force him to hand over the antidote.
He thought that fighting fire with fire was the only strategy for dealing with Ye Liuyun.
Aiming to threaten Ye Liuyun with the Formation Flag, he was eager to see who among the two could outlast the other.
After Liu Xing knocked on the door, Azure told him to wait outside the door. The presence of the Liger made him hesitant to force his way in.
"So what’s his intention? Is he here to surrender, or analyse my strength?" Ye Liuyun asked Azure.
"He seemed pretty confident, not likely here to surrender or scout. So, I figured I’ll let him wait outside without granting him entry," Azure replied.
“He is still not giving up!"
Ye Liuyun chuckled gently as he sent Hua Xiangyuan and Azure into his Spatial World. Then he went to the living room and released a deadly poison in the air.
After getting things into order, Ye Liuyun notified the Liger to hide and let Liu Xing in.
"Come in!" Ye Liuyun called from inside the house. He was too lazy to step out and welcome his guest.
"D*mn it! Let’s see how long you can act so prideful!" Liu Xing cursed under his breath as made his way into the living room.
After he entered the room, he furtively looked around. Noticing there was no one around, he brazenly drew out his Formation Flag and attempted to threaten Ye Liuyun.
"Chen Feng, I’ll give you one more chance, hand over the antidote right away. Otherwise, I will trap and kill you within this Northsky Formation Flag!"
"Oh really? Is that the solution you’ve finally settled on after all these days?" Ye Liuyun retorted nonchalantly.
"Enough of your nonsense! If you don’t give me the antidote, you’ll be the one to die before me!" Liu Xing continued his threats.
"Alright then! Simce you insist on pushing yourself to the corner, I’ll fulfil your wish. Let’s see who’ll die first!" Ye Liuyun didn’t care about Liu Xing’s threats at all.
"Then die you shall!" With determination, Liu Xing swung the Formation Flag and enveloped Ye Liuyun within it.
The space inside the Formation Flag was vast and boundless yet void.
Instead of breaking the Formation Flag, Ye Liuyun took out the Molten Cauldron. He took cover inside it and waited peacefully for Liu Xing to release him.
Liu Xing immediately activated the Formation Flag, allowing the powers of the five elements to attack Ye Liuyun one after another.
"Chen Feng, tell me if you can’t handle it. I still have over twenty days until the poison started to hurt me. But you won’t be able to hold out for that long!" Liu Xing’s wicked laughter echoed in the space within the flag.
But Ye Liuyun ignored him. The Molten Cauldron was also a ninth-level treasure. The Formation Flag might be formidable, but it wouldn’t break the defence of the Molten Cauldron.
After he yelled for a long while and heard no reaction from Ye Liuyun, Liu Xing couldn’t be bothered to speak anymore.
Knowing that Ye Liuyun would not die easily and had valuable items to protect himself, he planned to slowly outlast Ye Liuyun.
However, he noticed that the toxins in his body had started to act up.
Unbeknownst to him, he had inhaled the toxins Ye Liuyun released into the air. Hence, it triggered the poison that was already in his body.
When two types of toxins were mixed, it caused a severe reaction. "What’s going on? Can he control when the toxin activates?" Liu Xing, taken aback by the situation, asked Ye Liuyun who was still inside the formation.
"You have fifteen minutes. After that, you will turn into a puddle of mud water!" Ye Liuyun replied indifferently.
On hearing him, Liu Xing was shocked. He quickly used his genuine energy to suppress the toxins. However, the toxins had spread to his virtuoso and stopped its function.
"D*mn it, the toxins are acting up even faster now!" Liu Xing was shocked. Soon, he fell to the ground with great pain.
As the poisons circulated through his body, he could feel their effects. Upon using his divine sense to assess his internal condition, he found that certain regions had begun to turn black.
"Chen Feng, Iet’s not both lose! You give me the antidote, and I’ll let you out. How about it?" Liu Xing seized the limited time to negotiate with Ye Liuyun.
Liu Xing alternated between bargaining with him, cursing, and pleading. Yet Ye Liuyun remained silent in response to him.
In the end, Liu Xing surrendered.
Upon using his divine sense to assess his internal state, he saw that certain organs had started to dissolved into a dark liquid as a result of the poisons. If he delayed any longer, he was bound to die.
He instantly released Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun put away his Molten Cauldron but didn’t rush to give him the antidote. Rather, he quietly sat down and saw him writhing in agony on the floor.
