The two were simultaneously struck where it hurt, glaring at each other angrily, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
Yu Youhan's eyes were suffused with a cyan glow, her tone low, "I've already given you enough face, are you challenging my bottom line?"
"How can you challenge something that doesn't exist?" Ji Hongxiu sneered, "Stop bluffing, if you could act, you would have done so long ago, how could you have endured until now?"
That red ribbon, she'd seen it more than once before.
The first time was on the Flying Boat, right in front of Ling Ningzhi, Yu Youhan was directly tied up like a dumpling.
The second time was in the Chen Mansion, the two of them were bound together, and it wasn't until Chen Mo intervened that they escaped.
This time is no different...
As soon as Yu Youhan harbored killing intent, she was immediately restrained.
Though it's unclear what that thing is, that can suppress the Ultimate Venerable, what is certain is that as long as it's a woman related to Chen Mo, Yu Youhan can't act recklessly, or she'll lose her cultivation and be at the mercy of others!
"No wonder this woman values Chen Mo so much, guarding him strictly, afraid someone might steal him away... because her lifeline is in his hands!"
Understanding this, Ji Hongxiu's mood significantly brightened.
Even though she was forced to hand over her Divine Soul Origin, the other party wasn't doing much better either.
Moreover, she and Chen Mo have long been inseparable, so even if she gives him her weakness, what does it matter?
In contrast, with Chen Mo suppressing the price, she can enhance her cultivation without hesitation, comprehend the Origin, and someday catch up to this female demon and stomp her underfoot!
"Threatening me with a Sect Disciple? Fine, just you wait!"
"Who knows, between us, who will be whose dog in the end?"
Ji Hongxiu chuckled coldly in her heart.
Yu Youhan was silent for a while, nodded and said, "You're right, with the red ribbon's restriction, I really can't kill you, not even by borrowing someone else's hand..."
"I knew it..."
Ji Hongxiu's lips curved up, about to say something, when she saw a dangerous glint flash in Yu Youhan's eyes, who said lightly, "So, can't I just not harbor killing intent?"
"Hmm?"
Ji Hongxiu froze for a moment, puzzled, "What's that supposed to mean?"
"All this time, I've been stuck in a dead-end, always thinking about eradicating problems at the root, which is why I always return empty-handed."
"Looking at it from another angle, since this red ribbon knows what I'm internally thinking, why not use this to my advantage—"
Yu Youhan's eyes glowed cyan, a faint blue shadow surfaced behind her, "As long as I'm convinced I'm sparring with you, helping you improve your cultivation, then even if I beat you half to death, maybe it won't trigger the ribbon."
"Spar—sparring?"
Ji Hongxiu's expression stiffened, realizing something.
Yu Youhan carefully sensed, confirming no reaction on her wrist, a cruel smile tugging at her red lips.
"This method actually works, seems like it's not that hard to deceive oneself."
"Don't you love stealing men? Then as the mistress, it's necessary to teach you what house rules mean!"
