Sword Among Us Novel - Chapter 582
Chapter 582: Witch Wan Wan
“Wan Wan!”
Happy sucked in a sharp breath and marveled at the fact that Great Sky Demon Art could be used to such an effect by Wan Wan, who was born as a coquettish woman. His spiritual senses had become much more sensitive once he started practicing Nine Yang Divine Skill, but he was still unable to sense her arrival.
Besides, up to that moment, Wan Wan did not give him the feeling that she was dangerous. Instead, there was a very poetic air about her, and others who saw her would be unable to help but adore her from the bottom of their hearts.
While Happy was surprised by that, he wrapped his fist in his palm and said, “Pardon me for my rudeness. I did not know that you were here, Lady Wan Wan of Yin Grass Faction.”
“Gusu’s Blue-robed Hero, you do indeed live up to your name. I heard from the people in the land that you are the most outstanding among the young righteous disciples of this generation. There are countless aristocratic ladies who are paying attention to you, and I have admired you for a long time as well.”
“I have also regarded you with great admiration for a long time. I’ve heard a long time ago that the Womanizer adored you for your free, spontaneous, and unpredictable nature. Now that I see you, you do live up to your name.
“Since we find each other so agreeable, why don’t we search for a restaurant and drink while we talk so that we can discuss the nature of life?”
Once Happy said that, he laughed, tapped against the ground, and fled.
He decided to run!
“Aren’t you a rascal?”
Wan Wan curled her lips in a cunning arc. She spread her gentle and seemingly boneless arms, and like an immortal who descended from Great Cold Palace, she drifted down from the sky and chased after Happy in a seemingly slow fashion.
“Didn’t you just mention that you will drink and talk with me? Mister Happy, why are you leaving in such a hurry? Are you going to break my heart by lying to me?”
The gentle words almost succeeded in dispelling all the mental defenses Happy had set up for himself. But fortunately, he already knew about Wan Wan’s methods. She had devoted all her love to Xu Zhiling, so she would show no mercy to any other man. If he stopped for even a moment, she would devour him to the point that not even a single bone was left.
Happy’s heart pounded in fear, but he did not show any weakness while he retorted, “Lady Wan Wan, you’re wrong there. You said that you admire me, but you showed no mercy when you attacked. Or are you trying to tell me that whenever you find yourself fancying another man, you use Great Sky Demon Art to kill him because it demands that you cut off all ties of love and relationships?”
As he spoke, he suddenly froze midway through his action. Then, he forcibly moved himself to the side by a few feet.
Bang!
A palm print that was several inches deep appeared on the ground.
“Mister Happy, you are indeed someone who understands my heart. You could tell how much I suffer with just one glance.”
Wan Wan had a pure, innocent, and alluring expression on her face, and she spoke in a gentle voice. “The Great Sky Demon Art I practice does indeed demand that I am not affected by my emotions. All men who cause my heart to flutter must die. Mister Happy, you’re making me increasingly reluctant to kill you.”
Her delicate tone and the confession she gave while unable to suppress her feelings could make people have the urge to go to her, even though they would be like moths rushing into a flame.
But Happy had heard many rumors regarding Wan Wan. There were plenty of powerful players in his previous life who had wanted to conquer this amazing woman, but in the end, Wan Wan always attacked them mercilessly.
Happy was sure that he could not compare to Xu Zhiling. He was not as morally righteous and selfless as he was, and he had no wild thoughts that he could make Wan Wan submit to him. He avoided a few more of her palm strikes, and he found himself a certain distance away from Extreme Yin Lake.
Wan Wan said nothing.
She originally had a relaxed and agreeable look on her face, but she slowly became serious.
Happy’s body movements were incredibly profound, and he repeatedly used a strange, evasive body movement to dodge her attacks. There were also no signs of his qi not being able to catch up to his use of that body movement skill, which surprised her.
“Lady Wan Wan, I am actually not good at all. Why do you insist on persecuting me despite so much difficulty?”
While Happy ran, he occasionally teased Wan Wan.
“Hmph.”
Wan Wan seemed to have noticed that Happy was different from the people in the righteous path who sought for fame. She slowly became serious, but she still retained her joking tone.
“If this were about me alone, I would naturally be willing to turn a blind eye and search for a place to slowly forget about you, Mister Happy, but unfortunately, you came looking for the secrets of Yin Weed Faction in Extreme Yin Lake for no reason. If my mistress learns that I released you for personal reasons, I will definitely be scolded when I go back.”
Once Wan Wan finished speaking, she sped up and landed in front of Happy to block his path.
“What secret is there in Extreme Yin Lake?” Happy was stunned.
Wan Wan spread her arms before she covered her mouth and giggled. Her movements made her look like an immortal under the moon, and it made it easy for all those who saw her to fall in love with her and remain true to their intentions.
“Things have already progressed to this point, and you’re still worried about Extreme Yin Lake? You should worry about yourself a little.”
“Wan Wan, you’re so beautiful and charming, so you’ll definitely have the heart of Buddha and not kill me. But the secret you mentioned about Yin Weed Faction just now has suddenly made me incredibly curious.”
“Oh, you silver tongue!”
Wan Wan snorted softly and suddenly spread out her black chiffon dress. They revealed her delicate curves, and she gave off the shocking air that she was about to take off her clothes.
Of course, she was not really going to do that. Instead, she just took off one of the chiffon ribbons, but under the effect of Great Sky Demon Art as well as Wan Wan’s nonstandard clothes, it was very easy for her to give off the misconception of removing her clothes and that she was trying to tempt the person before her.
It was the first time Happy had ran into such a situation!
He soon recovered from his daze, however, and flicked his fingers.
Joined Finger was used without a sound.
Wan Wan was clearly stronger than Yang Xuyan, and the soundless Joined Finger did not manage to trick her. She just twisted her waist.
“Mister, you’re so cruel to me!”
When Wan Wan avoided Happy’s Joined Finger, her black chiffon ribbon came charging forward like an intelligent snake.
Thud! Thud!
Two finger holes were left behind on the tree behind Wan Wan.
At the same time, Happy pointed at the black chiffon calmly. The ribbon that was as sturdy as metal instantly fell limply, and Wan Wan retrieved it.
“Of course not,” Happy answered with a laugh. “I just suddenly realized that since you are incapable of resisting Yin Weed Faction, since it is where you belong, so much so that you cannot even control your own emotions, I cannot help myself but pity you, and I have decided to capture you.
“Once we get rid of the evil cult, we can search for a place that is away from the rest of the world and live there in seclusion— Ah… you sure are sinister with your attacks. I haven’t even mentioned wanting you to give birth to a few children for me, and you’re already so excited.”
“Gusu’s Blue-robed Hero, what a man. I find myself liking you more and more.”
When Happy heard Wan Wan’s tone which kept on growing sweeter, he felt his skin crawl.
However, Happy had Ten True Dragon Styles, Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm, Joined Finger, and Nine Yang Divine Skill, so he was not afraid of Wan Wan.
Yang Xuyan had lost to him and fled, while Wan Wan was only a level stronger than him. So if Happy was not afraid of her mistress, he would have attacked while they were still at Extreme Yin Lake. He would not have run until they were very far away.
“Lady Wan Wan, aren’t you afraid of loving the wrong man?”
Happy’s voice echoed clearly in the night sky, but soon, it was torn through by another, clear and tempting voice.
“Sir, if you disappoint me, I will just kill you.”
Wan Wan could never leave her murderous nature behind.
Even though Happy was very confident, he was still so shocked by her increasingly gentle tone and resolute killing intent that he could only smile wanly.
‘What’s going on with this damn quest? Wan Wan’s already here, and this even involves Yin Weed Faction’s secret. Is this a chain quest? If it is, doesn’t that mean I just suffered a huge loss?’
While Happy fought against Wan Wan, he thought about how he could escape and search for the antidote.
