Chapter 1399: Chapter 1294: Pursuit
Their eyes met; Ye Ruxue’s gaze was blazing with fury, yet those eyes up there actually didn’t react at all, still staring straight down at her.
I’m being peeped on by a lecher?
It’s already gotten to this point, and he still has no intention of running?
Ye Ruxue had never in her life been this furious.
She let out a muffled snort, her palm slapping the surface of the water.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Countless droplets of water, wrapped in Inner Strength, shot upward and all drilled into the top of the tent.
Swish, swish, swish!
In an instant, the tent’s ceiling was blasted into a ruin, riddled with countless black holes.
Moonlight poured in through the holes.
Ye Ruxue had already stepped out of the bath; her snow‑white feet stood on the red carpet.
As for her body, it was already wrapped in a layer of pure‑white bath towel.
Ye Ruxue couldn’t be bothered with anything else; she let out a cold shout, her eyes turning into sharp Swords as she glared at the top of the tent.
Up there, it was full of holes, but those eyes were still there as well!
Only now those eyes had finally come to their senses.
But what Ye Ruxue couldn’t accept was that those eyes showed no panic, guilt, or fear!
On the contrary, there was actually a hint of smugness and delight in them.
"That damned lecher!"
Ye Ruxue’s face was full of killing intent.
Even if she couldn’t see what those eyes looked like.
Ye Ruxue could still guess that the guy was definitely an incomparably ugly, sleazy man.
Only a man like that would still be in the mood to peep on a woman in the middle of the night!
"You deserve to die!"
Ye Ruxue spat out two words icily.
Then, her body suddenly shot upward, like a rocket blasting off, streaking toward the top.
At the same time, she raised her hand, two fingers shining with silver light, like a shooting star tearing through the sky!
"Kao! Do you really have to go straight for the kill?!"
The peeper on top of the tent grumbled anxiously.
Then, swish!
Ye Ruxue’s fingers tore open the top of the tent.
Her body soared into the air; before she even landed, she saw a back rapidly retreating into the distance.
"Trying to run?"
Ye Ruxue’s expression grew even colder; she tapped lightly with her toes, turning into a streak of light as she chased after that figure.
...
"Cao! I just took a look, right? Do you really have to attack me the moment we don’t see eye to eye?"
Sprinting across the top of the tent, Qin Hao still felt a lingering fear in his heart.
Just now, he had truly tasted Ye Ruxue’s killing intent and strength.
Put bluntly, if his reaction had been even a bit slower, he was probably already a corpse by now.
Fortunately, he’d snapped out of it at the last moment and bolted from the scene, barely dodging that disaster.
"Still, even if I didn’t manage to steal anything tonight, it was totally worth it!"
Running, Qin Hao couldn’t hide the heat in his chest.
"Tsk tsk tsk! That Ye Ruxue looks all skinny and frail, but..."
Even after all this time, in Qin Hao’s mind.
Just as his mood was burning hot, behind him came an angry shout: "Thief, where do you think you’re going!"
Qin Hao’s heart skipped a beat. "Kao! Ye Ruxue’s still chasing?"
As a veteran at running for his life, he didn’t choose to look back, because turning around would expose his face.
"Hmph! You might be some heaven’s‑favored princess, but when it comes to running away, how could you possibly match me?"
Qin Hao thought with full confidence. His feet tapped rapidly as he turned into a blur, speeding along the tops of the tents.
Strangely enough, he clearly had already pushed his speed to the limit.
In theory, an ordinary opponent shouldn’t be able to keep up with him at all.
Yet oddly, that oppressive feeling from behind was still there. In other words, Ye Ruxue hadn’t been shaken off!
On the contrary, Ye Ruxue seemed to be narrowing the distance!
Realizing this, Qin Hao felt a huge wave of pressure. "Kao! This woman’s so damn fast! Am I really going to have to trigger my bloodline?"
"No way, the Secret Realm is about to open; the Power of Bloodline is my trump card! I can’t blow it like this!"
Qin Hao clenched his teeth hard. As he ran, he saw a great banner on the top of a tent ahead flapping right in his face. On it was a big character "Xu."
"’Xu’? Could that be ’Jade Void’? Is this the Jade Void Sect’s tent?"
An inspiration flashed through Qin Hao’s mind: "Which means that guy, Young Master Yuxu, is here?"
The cold wind behind him grew even more obvious. Qin Hao made up his mind at once: "Young Master Yuxu, guess it’s just your bad luck! Let’s do this!"
With that, Qin Hao suddenly checked his steps, turning into a black shadow as he dropped to the ground, rolled three times on the spot, and slipped into the Jade Void Sect’s tent.
...
Young Master Yuxu was in a very bad mood today.
The Wang Yufei he’d been wooing for days actually gave him a cold shoulder today.
This was a heavy blow to Young Master Yuxu, who had always considered his personal charm to be off the charts.
"Yu Fei, why won’t you understand my true feelings? I really do like you!"
Out of frustration, Young Master Yuxu broke his own rule today and had a drink.
He held a wine cup in his hand, eyes full of bitterness as he stared at the ceiling. Since he’d deliberately chosen to get drunk and hadn’t used Inner Strength to evaporate the alcohol, his cheeks were a bit flushed, clearly showing the signs of drunkenness.
Right then.
Bang!
The flap of the tent was violently flung open.
A black shadow rolled in.
"Who goes there!"
Because of the alcohol, Young Master Yuxu’s reactions were especially slow today. He only stood up after the man had already come in.
However, before he could see that person’s face clearly.
He only heard a hiss‑hiss‑hiss sound, as dense fog and smoke filled the entire tent.
"Smoke Bomb? What’s this guy trying to pull?"
Young Master Yuxu flew into a rage, shouting, "You bold little thief, how dare you cause trouble in the middle of the night!"
As he spoke, he swung his hand out in rapid succession, striking seven palms, each one carrying surging Inner Strength.
Bang, bang, bang!
Explosive sounds rang out, and that person actually returned seven strikes without falling behind.
Caught off guard, Young Master Yuxu staggered back three steps. Once he steadied himself, he felt his chest heaving, his blood and qi in turmoil.
"This guy’s really strong! Who is he?"
Young Master Yuxu was shocked, but quickly regained his anger. "Strong? I haven’t even used my full strength yet. You think you can be stronger than me?"
With a stubborn will, Young Master Yuxu lunged forward, both palms brimming with vigorous Inner Strength, then suddenly brought them slamming down!
Boom!
A loud explosion blasted through the tent.
Within the smoke, Young Master Yuxu, shaken by the shockwave, had his blood and qi surging as he rapidly retreated. When he finally steadied himself, frost was actually spreading across his body!
"This is Ice Attribute Inner Strength?" Young Master Yuxu was stunned, because in all the land, there was only one person known to possess that special Ice Attribute Inner Strength.
Ye Ruxue!
As he was still pondering, the thick fog in the tent gradually dispersed, and the figure standing before him slowly came into focus.
She was wearing a bathrobe, the skin exposed on her body as white as snow.
Her bare feet stepped on the carpet, yet picked up no dust, still appearing so immaculately white.
