Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

Chapter 298 The City That Never Sleeps 9

The moment Guan Xun stepped onto the stone steps, he clearly felt the pressure above his head suddenly increase.

It was several times heavier than the first floor, pressing down on her so much that her knees bent slightly, and the spiritual energy in her meridians almost stopped.

She gritted her teeth and climbed up the stone steps until the scene before her suddenly changed.

Unlike the first floor, this was the entire hall, covered with soft red gauze curtains that hung down in layers, moving without wind.

The gauze curtains swayed, revealing an equally dazzlingly bright carpet and beams inside.

In the center of the hall was an enormous bed covered with flower petals, the edges of which had darkened as if they had been soaked in blood.

On the bed, a man was lying on his side.

He was extremely handsome, with captivating eyes and a deep red lip.

Her black hair fell over her shoulders, the ends brushing past her waist and landing on her nine fluffy tails behind her.

Seeing Guan Xun enter, he lifted his eyelids, a seductive smile playing on his lips.

"You must be exhausted after killing so many demonic beasts. Come here, let me loosen your muscles."

Her voice was soft and husky, yet possessed a captivating charm.

Guan Xun remained tense, enduring the oppressive aura without moving, dark flames flickering in his palms, his gaze fixed coldly on him.

Seeing this, the man chuckled softly, hooking his fingertips around his shirt and slowly pulling it down...

Her clothes slipped down to her waist, revealing her smooth chest and well-defined waist and abdomen, where water droplets slid down and trembled slightly.

A red veil wrapped around her arms made her skin appear dazzlingly white.

"Why are you standing still?" He propped himself up and sat up, his nine tails wrapping around the bed railings, the tips of his tails brushing against the flower petals and creating a fragrant breeze. "Look how soft this bed is, and my arms are even softer. Come and lie down for a while, and I'll tell you how to get to the third floor."

As he spoke, he stepped off the bed barefoot and walked lightly toward Guan Xun.

The fragrance emanating from her body was even stronger, carrying a cloying sweetness.

He leaned close to Guan Xun, almost touching her face, his breath hot and suggestive, his words blatant: "Those monsters down there probably aren't very interesting, are they? I'm much better at serving people than they are. Try me and I guarantee you'll be out of your mind..."

The gentle seduction came one sentence after another.

As she spoke, she raised her hand to hook Guan Xun's chin. His head tilted slightly forward, and his crimson lips were close to hers, about to kiss her.

Guan Xun frowned even more, and her murderous aura suddenly surged. Just as the dark flame in her palm was about to condense and rise slightly, a wisp of icy blue mist suddenly shot out from her sleeve.

The mist condensed and did not dissipate, shaped like sharp thorns, carrying a chilling aura. Swift as lightning, it tore through the ambiguous fragrance of the hall and shot straight towards the nine-tailed fox man's brow.

At this moment, the man's lips were only an inch away from Guan Xun's, his warm breath brushing against her cheek, the alluring smile in his eyes still lingering, and even the gesture of raising his hand to hook her chin was still suspended in mid-air.

He didn't even see the trajectory of the wisp of icy mist clearly before his expression changed and his body froze.

"puff!"

In an instant, the icy mist entered his brow without any hindrance.

The man's pupils dilated, and the alluring look in his eyes instantly froze into a deathly stillness.

He fell straight backward, crashing heavily onto the rose petal-strewn ground with a dull thud.

Petals flew and landed on his pale cheeks, making his unseeing eyes look even more eerie.

In the blink of an eye, the alluring demonic aura around them vanished completely, leaving not a trace behind.

Kill with one move.

Guan Xun was slightly taken aback, and his fingers, hanging at his sides, curled up unconsciously.

She hadn't even made a move yet, and the other person was already dead?

"He's too noisy."

A cold voice rang out unexpectedly in my ear, clearly tinged with displeasure.

It's Jin Chen.

"..."

Hearing the disdain in her tone, Guan Xun couldn't help but raise a playful smile. She shook her head and lowered her voice to a whisper: "Sigh, I also think he's annoying. Besides, his looks aren't even half as good as yours. He's just not appealing. You're much sweeter."

The moment the words fell, the wisp of icy blue mist paused noticeably, and its trajectory in mid-air shifted slightly.

It didn't dissipate immediately; instead, it slowly floated to Guan Xun's front, gently brushing against her chin and slowly moving upwards.

The cool mist brushed against the corner of her lips, carrying a faint, almost imperceptible touch, much like a light kiss, tickling the heart.

"I'll let you try it again after we get out."

Jin Chen's voice became somewhat hoarse, with a drawn-out ending, carrying an inexplicable allure.

Guan Xun's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a rare warmth at the base of her ears. She stood there, stunned, and even her breathing slowed down.

Before she could recover from this sudden ambiguity, the wisp of icy blue mist transformed into tiny specks of starlight, silently dissipating into the air as if it had never existed.

Guan Xun only regained her senses when the terrifying pressure that had been pressing down on her shoulders ever since she stepped into the second level suddenly receded.

She raised her hand and touched her lips, her fingertips still feeling a slight chill.

Then, turning his gaze to the nine-tailed fox man lying dead on the ground, his lips twitched involuntarily.

"This guy... he's getting more and more shameless with his words these days."

Suddenly, a surge of pure energy burst forth from the man's body, transforming into a beam of red light that split in two in mid-air. One half dissipated directly, while the other half rushed straight into Guan Xun's dantian.

Caught off guard, Guan Xun felt the spiritual energy in her meridians surge suddenly, and the rich spiritual energy exploded abruptly within her body.

With a sudden surge of energy, she immediately formed a hand seal to absorb the energy.

The spiritual power was rising steadily, and in less than half an incense stick's time, the cultivation level changed.

However, this time his strength only increased by three levels.

Logically, the higher the level, the greater the reward should be, but this time there was only a tiny bit.

After a moment's thought, she grasped the reason.

The ball of energy that flew out of the man's body just now split in two... It seems that she has to personally take action to get the full reward. The man died at Jin Chen's hands, which is why her reward was so small.

"Sigh." Guan Xun sighed, and that was that.

She clenched her fist, feeling the increasingly abundant spiritual power within her body, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.

When I looked up again, a new set of steps slowly rose from the center of the hall, leading straight into the darkness above.

He took a deep breath and stepped forward.

The third layer was much darker than the two layers below, and the fishy smell was much stronger.

The oppressive force that came crashing down was several times greater than before, this time causing her chest to ache and her whole body to tremble.

So sad!

A hissing sound reached his ears, and Guan Xun stiffly looked up, only to be met with a dense cluster of snake nests.

Countless brightly colored venomous snakes coiled on the ground and beams, constantly flicking their scarlet tongues, sending chills down one's spine.

She raised her hand with difficulty and discovered that the dark flames in her palm were faintly affected by this oppressive force.

If it's already this difficult on the third level, I wonder if the spiritual energy will be affected as we go higher.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, not wanting to think too much about it for the time being; she just needed to get through this hurdle first.
