Chapter 100: Two Girls

Chapter 100: Two Girls

“Arjuna, it’s you again?”

The girl in the red dress’s expression changed drastically as she quickly stepped back. At the same time, the serpents attacking Chu Fei retreated and coiled protectively around her.

Even the black dragon was no exception—it seemed wary of the cyan figure perched on the distant branch.

“Beast, you’re courting death!”

At that moment, the girl named Xin’er let out a sharp cry. Two streaks of icy light shot from her hands with astonishing speed, striking two large birds resembling hawks that were about to swoop down.

“Thud, thud!”

The two birds were hit and flew backward, crashing to the ground.

In the sky, these birds were natural enemies of the serpents. But once grounded, dozens of serpents quickly entwined them, tearing them apart in moments until their bodies were barely recognizable.

The other birds, witnessing the bloody carnage, abandoned their assault on the serpents and took to the air, circling at an altitude of several dozen meters, watching and waiting for another chance.

Some even held torn serpents in their talons, feasting ravenously as fresh blood dripped down—a grisly scene.

Yet no one present paid attention to this brutal spectacle.

Everyone, including Chu Fei, was stunned, staring at the cyan figure standing on the branch. They wondered who this person was, that even the fierce girl in the red dress feared her.

Though Chu Fei had only exchanged a brief confrontation, he immediately sensed the girl’s formidable nature. Coupled with the thousands of serpents, while he was fearless, killing her would be incredibly difficult—especially since he needed to ensure Chen Yaxin’s safety.

“Whoosh—”

Suddenly, the cyan figure shot into the sky, then descended like a great bird to land on the grass about ten meters from the girl in red.

It was a girl no older than eighteen or nineteen, about the same age as the red-dressed girl, but with an entirely different aura.

The girl in red exuded a blend of purity and subtle charm, like a little enchantress. But the cyan-clad girl radiated a chilling coldness, an air of superiority—regal and sacred, like an emperor.

More captivating than her chilling aura was her exquisite face—flawlessly beautiful to the point of suffocation. Among all the women Chu Fei had known, only his fiancée, Fu Ziqing, could compare. Others like Ximen Lu or Duanmu Jing paled in comparison.

Of course, the girl in red was also stunningly beautiful, but her seductive, almost demonic energy overshadowed her natural beauty.

“Demoness, I’ve finally found you,” the cyan girl said coldly, her gaze calm and never once glancing at Chu Fei or Chen Yaxin, as if they were invisible.

“You clingy pest, always following my ass around every day. Don’t you ever get tired?” The red-dressed girl frowned, her voice sweet as if coaxing, but her eyes were serious. Clearly, she deeply feared the cyan girl—this was no mere facade.

The cyan girl frowned but remained silent, seemingly not one for words. Her eyes, however, were ice-cold as they locked onto the red-dressed girl.

“Hey, you chase me so hard, following me everywhere—from the northwest grasslands to the southern frontier, and now even to the East Sea. Are you secretly in love with me?” The red-dressed girl suddenly giggled.

“Don’t talk nonsense,” the cyan girl snapped, her well-shaped eyebrows rising in anger.

“Then why do you keep chasing me? If you don’t love me, what reason could there be?” The girl laughed coquettishly.

“You are a demoness. Your existence brings calamity to the world. I will capture you and imprison you beneath the Eternal Heaven Throne,” the cyan girl declared coldly, as if making a solemn vow.

“Damn, here we go again,” the red-dressed girl cursed openly, clearly annoyed. “Can’t you come up with a new excuse? You’ve used that one eight hundred times already.”

The cyan girl said nothing.

“And you can’t catch me anyway, right?” The red-dressed girl sneered. “You’ve been chasing me for over half a year and never once caught me. I suggest you go home, wash up, and get some rest instead of wasting your energy. I’m busy today—maybe I’ll entertain you when I’m done, okay?” Her tone was playful, like coaxing a child.

The cyan girl’s face darkened, clearly angered. “No matter what you say, you won’t escape today. I won’t allow you to harm others.”

“Harm others, my ass! Arjuna, you crazy bitch, you must’ve been here all along. Then you should know I haven’t done anything wrong. That guy over there, holding some beauty—that guy’s no good. And those dozens of dead bodies in the forest? All killed by him. He’s the real demon wreaking havoc. If anyone deserves to be caught, it’s him. Why are you after an innocent, pure girl like me? Are you sick or what?” The red-dressed girl suddenly pointed at Chu Fei and shouted.

Finally, the cyan girl glanced at Chu Fei but quickly turned back to glare at the red-dressed girl. “Whether he’s a villain or how many people he’s killed has nothing to do with me.”

“I—” The red-dressed girl’s eyes widened, almost as if about to spit blood.

Not far away, Chu Fei twitched involuntarily at the corner of his mouth. The cyan girl’s reply was truly remarkable—he couldn’t help but admire her bluntness.

But he said nothing. Up to now, he still hadn’t figured out the relationship between these two girls. But judging by their hostility, they were clearly enemies—which was good news for him.

He hoped they would start fighting soon.

Chu Fei’s mind held ill intentions.

“Demoness, will you come quietly, or must I use force to capture you?” The cyan girl spoke again, her gaze locked on the red-dressed girl.

“Can you catch me?” The red-dressed girl seemed resigned but fully aware the other wouldn’t let her go. Then she gave the cyan girl a dazzling smile and suddenly dashed off at incredible speed toward where Chu Fei and Chen Yaxin stood.

“Brother Chu Fei, help! Stop this crazy bitch behind me!” she called out loudly.

Before her voice faded, she was already almost at Chu Fei’s side.

Chu Fei’s expression changed drastically. He never expected the red-dressed girl to be so shameless, calling him so intimately just to use him as a shield against the cyan girl.

Despicable.

Cursing inwardly, Chu Fei quickly pulled Chen Yaxin back to dodge. He wasn’t afraid of the girls, but he didn’t want to be manipulated—especially since the red-dressed girl wanted to kill him. He couldn’t let his guard down.

Yet his dodge came too late.

The red-dressed girl never truly lunged at Chu Fei. Apparently afraid he would stop her, she abruptly changed direction two meters from him and darted into the dark forest.

Before disappearing, she raised her delicate, jade-like hand and with a “bang” released a puff of pink smoke, which instantly spread, enveloping a radius of several meters.

“Damn it!”

Chu Fei’s face darkened again. He hurriedly scooped up Chen Yaxin and dashed out of the smoke, only to see the cyan girl vanish like an arrow into the depths of the forest.

As for the red-dressed girl, she was already nowhere to be found. Clearly, once the cyan girl appeared, she realized she couldn’t kill Chu Fei and fled to save herself.

With the red-dressed girl gone, the thousands of serpents quickly lost control, crawling wildly in all directions. Meanwhile, the dozens of circling birds dove into a frenzy of hunting.

A brutal war between serpents and birds erupted with savage intensity.

Chu Fei frowned, glanced at the chaos, and quickly carried Chen Yaxin away from this place of turmoil.

“Chu Fei, I—I don’t feel right,” Chen Yaxin suddenly said after they had walked some distance, her voice strange.

“What’s wrong?” Chu Fei looked down and his expression changed sharply.

Chen Yaxin, who had been pale and faint from constant fright, was now flushed red as if aflame, her eyes moist and alluring.

Damn!

Chu Fei’s heart skipped a beat as he immediately recalled the pink smoke the red-dressed girl had thrown.

“Chu Fei, am I poisoned?” Chen Yaxin asked anxiously, unaware of her condition but clearly worried.

“Probably. Don’t worry, I’m here. You have to hold on—I’m taking you back to Kun City right now.” Without hesitation, Chu Fei changed direction and sprinted toward Kun City, no longer caring if there were hidden killers in the forest; his only thought was to find an antidote for Chen Yaxin.

Chen Yaxin was puzzled. Poisoned and told to endure it? How was that possible?

She didn’t ask further but nodded obediently.

Soon, Chen Yaxin understood why Chu Fei urged her to hold on. Minutes later, her whole body felt like it was on fire—not outside, but inside, as if her blood and flesh were burning. Moreover, her mind began to swim with dizziness.

This was bad—the poison was taking effect.

Fear gripped her heart. No one likes death, yet she kept silent. But after two minutes, she could no longer bear it.

“Chu Fei, I—I’m so hot. I don’t think I can hold on…” she whimpered.

Chu Fei stopped abruptly, looking down at her with a sinking heart. Where she had once had rosy cheeks, now her skin glowed with a fiery redness, her eyes bloodshot and unsettling. Looking closely, he could see veins beneath her skin writhing slowly.

“Chu Fei, am I going to die? I—I’m burning up—”

Chen Yaxin’s consciousness was clearly slipping. She suddenly reached out and unbuttoned her jacket, tossing it aside, then began undoing her shirt.

“Don’t—” Chu Fei tried to stop her but knew it was useless. Seeing her half-naked in just her undergarments, a fierce heat suddenly ignited within him.

Had he been poisoned too?

The thought barely crossed his mind before the burning sensation surged through his entire body, engulfing him instantly...
