Insufficient balance

  In the restricted area behind the Li family's mountain, at this moment, apart from Li Yi, there was an additional guest.

  The things on that woman's stall had all been sent in by several guards from the Li family, and as for Li Yi carrying a woman into the restricted area, although someone wanted to stop him, he was rebuffed by Li Yi with the sentence "This is essential for my cultivation".

  Looking at this woman who didn't know whether she had fainted, a strange idea suddenly rose in Li Yi's heart. It seemed that his reputation as a pervert was even more solidified.

  As he thought about it, Li Yi casually pulled down the veil that had been covering her face all along. In an instant, Li Yi's gaze became somewhat dazed.

  She should be a girl who looks like she's in her teens, with a head of light brown hair, skin that's so pale it's almost translucent, and a face that's beautiful to the point where it's hard to put into words. This indescribable feeling is extremely lethal to any man! If this face were on an ordinary woman, it would be an absolute disaster for her.

  She hesitated for a moment, then casually pulled open the dirty-looking robe on her body. What appeared in sight was a tight-fitting leather armor. This leather armor was obviously of high quality, and it was unclear what kind of magical beast's fur it was made of, emitting a faint blue glow. There were also some strange flower patterns carved on the surface of the armor, which Li Yi had never seen before, making him feel a little strange for a while. The leather armor covered only part of her chest, like a bra, with a patch of snow-white skin exposed above it. In the middle was an intoxicating cleavage, and below that were slender waistlines as thin as they could be grasped in one hand. On her flat abdomen, a tempting glow spread out, and the slight indentation made people want to kiss it without being able to help themselves.

  And her lower body was even more provocative, a short little leather shorts only covered her vital parts, exposing her snow-white and plump long legs outside. A leather belt was tied to the side of her right leg, which should have been hanging with a dagger, but at this moment the dagger had already fallen into Li Yi's hand. There was also a curved knife hanging from her waist, only the position seemed a bit strange.

  Li Yi furrowed her brow and pulled open the curved knife, only to see that under the curved knife was a roughly bandaged wound, and at this moment, the wound was oozing out threads of fresh blood, apparently she was seriously injured.

  Li Yi took down the curved knife and searched her body again, finally finding a strangely shaped ring under her chest armor.

  This ring is a simple, deep black color. On the ring are two snakes entwined together, and at the mouth of the two snakes, there is a grain-sized crystal inlaid, but strangely, this crystal seems to absorb light and does not emit any luster.

  However, seeing that the woman had hidden this ring so tightly, Li Yi knew that the ring was probably not ordinary. At this moment, he didn't bother to think about it anymore and casually stuffed the ring into his pocket. Only then did he untie the hastily tied cloth strip behind the woman's back.

  A wound over half a meter long, deep enough to see the bone, floated in front of Li Yi. The flesh around the wound had already begun to rot, and with each breath, a patch of pale yellowish blood emerged. With just one glance, Li Yi could confirm that the wound was infected, and it had likely put an enormous strain on the woman's body. Otherwise, given her strength, she shouldn't have been weakened to this extent.

  Looking at the woman like this, Li Yi considered for a moment, his eyes twitched slightly, and he suddenly stretched out his hand to heavily tap the woman's temple, with the dagger in his hand casually placed on her neck.

  As he moved, the girl who had fainted came to in a daze.

  However, she was clearly not a naive little girl who had never seen the world. Her eyes flickered for a moment, and she probably already understood her current situation. Looking at Li Yi's eyes, there were already several points of indifference: "What do you want?"

  "What do I want?" Li Yi's mouth curled up into a handsome smile, "You see, you are such a beautiful young girl, and I am a vigorous man, at this moment there is no one around, you are powerless to resist, and I can do as I please...... what do you think I will do?"

  "Shameless!" The young girl let out a low growl, her voice still icy cold.

  Li Yi's eyes burst forth with a colorful glow: "Shameless? There are plenty of more shameless things in this world, and yet someone still does them. So, miss... are you going to cooperate with me and make it easier for me to get started? Or are you prepared to play a thrilling game with me?"

  "Also, I can warn you that if you make any more small moves, your own dagger will cut your throat. This point...I think you understand better than me what the consequences will be..."

  As they spoke, Li Yi's left hand had already grasped the girl's wrist, pulling her hand back from reaching for the curved knife by her side, and at the same time, he tossed the curved knife a few feet away.

  The girl hummed and suddenly said coldly: "You think that's all, I won't be able to kill you?"

  "I know you can," Li Yi nodded, his eyes narrowing into a line. "So, at this moment, let's make a deal... As long as the deal is reached, I guarantee that I won't touch even your little finger."

  The girl suddenly took a deep breath, her high chest heaving for a moment before she gritted her teeth and said faintly, "What do you want to trade?"

  Staring at her pale pink lips due to excessive blood loss, Li Yi couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick his lips, barely suppressing the urge to kiss her.

  He is not a cat who doesn't eat fishy-smelling food, but for a beauty like this girl, he doesn't eat much either.

  Seemingly noticing Li Yisheng's slight physical change, the girl sneered and said: "What? Can't bear it?"

  Li Yiwu slightly shook his head, and his smile became even more radiant. He took a slight breath in, as if he had sucked in the girl's fragrance entirely into his lungs. Then, in a low voice, he said: "This beautiful miss, why don't you first tell me what your name is?"

  The girl was stunned, but she didn't say a word.

  "You'd better tell the truth," Li Yidao said faintly. "I'm sure you understand that we're both people of the same kind, and whether or not this can deceive me, you should be clearer about than I am."

  The girl stared at Li Yi, as if she was going to swallow him whole. After a moment, she squeezed out two words from between her teeth: "Ruolin."

  "Ruo Lin, what a great name!" Li Yi snapped his fingers. "Your name is indeed as beautiful as you are... So, Miss Ruo Lin, I ask you, what exactly happened to bring you down to this point, and finally, why did you attack an innocent ordinary person like me?"

  Innocent ordinary people!？

  If Yolanda hadn't died from anger, and Li Yi was still an ordinary person, then there would be no ordinary people in the world.

  Ruo Lin didn't want to continue the conversation, but Li Yi's smiling face always made her feel a chill in her heart. Although she knew that this despicable guy's strength was not even one-tenth of hers, for some reason, he emitted a faint aura that made her feel suffocated and fearful.

  "I was being hunted," Yorlin finally said in a low voice, "because I was being pursued, I had nowhere to go, and so I ended up like this... As for your matter... I thought you were sent by my enemy, so..."

  "So, you wanted to come and kill me, right?" Li Yi said calmly. "However, unfortunately, I have a few skills, otherwise today would be mysteriously dead in your hands, so, to compensate for my wounded heart, should you not give me some compensation?"

  Ruo Lin gritted her teeth and said, "You also saw that I don't have anything valuable on me. My last gold coin was exchanged for this broken stall, so if you think you can get any benefits from me, forget it."

  Li Yi shook his head and said, "Who says you have nothing good about you?"

  Ruo Lin's face changed, and she said in a low voice: "Unless I'm dead! Otherwise, you can't even touch my finger!"

  Li Yixu slowly placed his hand on Yu Lin's cheek, tracing the curves of her face for a moment before withdrawing it to take a deep breath under his nose, his face filled with rapture: "So fragrant..."

  Seeing his movements, Yilin didn't know whether she was angry or ashamed, her face suddenly turned bright red.

  However, Li Yi seemed to have not noticed this point at all. He looked at her with a faint smile, and after a moment, he said, "I even touched your little face, why haven't you gone to die yet?"

  Ruo Lin was so angry she almost spat blood, she held it in for half a day before saying in a low voice: "Bastard!"

  This time her voice was no longer as calm and clear as usual, with a few more notes of anger, but despite this, it made her voice even more pleasant to listen to.

  Li Yihao smiled and looked at her, then sighed softly after a moment: "Alright, if I really had any interest in you, would I need to go to such great lengths? When you were unconscious, I don't know how many things I could have done... Now that the joke is over, let's get down to business..."

  "Just now when you were fighting with me, you used a martial art, right? As far as I know, the Xuanwu-level martial arts don't have any moves to speak of, but what you used...I don't know, what level of martial art did you use?"

  Ruo Lin's whole body shook, and an incredulous expression appeared on her face. She stared at Li Yi as if she wanted to swallow him whole!
