Although this line immediately brought a cliché trope to Ye Cha’s mind, the sight of the yellow-clad woman’s expressionless face made the entire scene feel incredibly bizarre.
There was absolutely no atmosphere.
What should have been a suggestive, risqué plot had inexplicably morphed into a horror film.
“Hehe, Second Senior Sister, let us join in too!”
“Exactly! How could we neglect such a beauty? Today, the five of us shall battle endlessly; none of you shall leave.”
“Just thinking about it is thrilling! Let’s start quickly and stop wasting time.”
Yet, even as Ye Cha pondered this, the three other female cultivators continued to utter lewd remarks with equally blank expressions, making it truly unbearable for him.
‘Just who exactly is Zi Linglong?’
‘What did she do to these female cultivators?’
Having transformed four female cultivators in this manner, Ye Cha couldn’t help but wonder: ‘Does Zi Linglong genuinely detest men?’
‘Or is it that the more one lacks something, the more they obsess over it? And are all of Zi Linglong’s techniques designed like this?’
As profound questions about Zi Linglong arose in Ye Cha’s mind, the now transparent Zi Linglong ceased her poking motions. Instead, her curiosity toward Ye Cha rapidly intensified.
‘Why could she touch Ye Cha, and why was there none of that stinging pain she’d felt before?’
To ascertain what exactly was amiss, Zi Linglong swiftly moved closer to Huang Tongzhi, then reached out to grasp her arm.
The next second, Zi Linglong’s hand passed straight through Huang Tongzhi’s arm, seizing only empty air.
‘Alright, it’s now confirmed. Ye Cha is indeed unique.’
Zi Linglong retracted her hand and turned to watch Ye Cha, who was beginning to retreat from the four female cultivators. She instinctively bit her lip, knowing she had to alter the course of this game.
Given that Ye Cha was the only man she could interact with, Zi Linglong not only couldn’t kill him, but she also had to ensure his safety.
Ye Cha couldn’t be harmed.
At least, until she understood why he was so different, Ye Cha could not suffer any mishap right before her eyes.
Though she knew this decision was correct, the thought of how she had loathed Ye Cha and wished to severely punish him just moments ago, only to now make such a complete reversal, was quite jarring.
‘I must treat Ye Cha like a precious treasure, as if holding him too gently might cause him to fall, or holding him too tightly might cause him to melt…’
‘Thinking this, it feels so infuriating!’
But she couldn’t voice it; she could only suppress her frustration.
Lost in these thoughts, Zi Linglong, simmering with silent anger, tilted her head. Her expression turned hostile as she eyed the ghosts entangled with the four female cultivators. With a swift wave of her hand, the white specters immediately let out piercing screeches, vanishing the very next second.
Concurrently, the four female cultivators collapsed to the ground like marionettes with severed strings, lying motionless.
Witnessing this, Ye Cha, who had just been about to act, froze in surprise. He had no idea what was happening now.
Given Zi Linglong’s capabilities, such a rudimentary error should have been impossible.
It was then that Ye Cha suddenly recalled the persistent poking he had felt moments ago, and a bold conjecture surfaced in his mind.
The true answer was singular: Zi Linglong was right here!
