The moonlight was as pure as jade, clear as the light of the moon. On the day of Yu Xiang'er's birth, the leader of the Sunfire Sect had entrusted a hidden master craftsman from the Eastern State to forge two short swords suitable for female cultivators, naming them Moonlight. There were even rumors that once the Moonlight Sword was wielded by Yu Xiang'er, the power of the stars would be at her command.
Of course, whether such rumors were true was hard to say. However, at that moment, Ye Huan was experiencing firsthand the power of the Moonlight Sword. Even though he had managed to dodge Yu Xiang'er's attack at the last moment, the fierce sword wind had still left a three-centimeter gash on his face. Fortunately, it only scraped the surface; otherwise, with that single strike, he would have lost his handsome appearance.
Feeling the pain on his face, Ye Huan reached out with his right hand to touch the wound caused by the Moonlight Sword and couldn't help but angrily question Yu Xiang'er, "Yu Xiang'er, have you gone mad? You said to fight and just attacked? Did I offend you in some way?"
"Bah! You pretended to be a gentleman in front of my adoptive father, yet here you are showing your true colors. How shameless can you be? It's a good thing I overheard your conversation with my father; otherwise, I might have let you, the hypocrite, off the hook!"
Spitting on the ground in disgust, it was clear that Yu Xiang'er held Ye Huan in contempt. Her face was filled with indignation, and anyone could see how displeased she was with Ye Huan for pushing a disciple of Yu Void Palace off a cliff. This left Ye Huan feeling somewhat troubled; he didn't know how to explain the situation to Yu Xiang'er.
After a long pause without any response from Ye Huan, Yu Xiang'er, holding two one-foot-long Moonlight Short Swords, showed no signs of calming down. She glared at him coldly and said, "What’s wrong? Got nothing to say? Fine! Let me deal with this shameless scoundrel today!"
As she spoke, Yu Xiang'er raised her two Moonlight Short Swords. If one looked closely through the sunlight streaming in from outside the Main Hall of Yu Void Palace, they would notice a flowing light shimmering on the swords—beautiful yet exuding an aura of death.
"What is this..."
Noticing something special about the Moonlight Short Swords, Ye Huan didn’t realize that it was the unique star power they possessed. However, instinctively sensing danger, he summoned a Tiger Tooth D80 Bayonet to block her attack. The moment their weapons made contact, it was as if the front half of his bayonet encountered a corrosive acid and disintegrated into nothingness. Thankfully, Ye Huan quickly recognized the danger and tossed aside his D80 Tiger Tooth Bayonet before retreating to safety, narrowly avoiding disaster.
"Run? I want to see where you can run to!"
Another sharp shout rang out, and it was unclear what Ye Huan had done to offend Yu Xiang'er, who seemed determined to not let Ye Huan go without a fight.
"Come on, we have no grievances between us. Why are you chasing me so relentlessly? Is it really just because of that Crescent Moon Blade?"
As the attack from the Moonlight Short Sword approached once more, Ye Huan felt a surge of anger. He summoned a Desert Eagle and, using his Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, dodged the Moonlight Short Sword to appear behind Yu Xiang'er. He wrapped his arms around her while pressing the Desert Eagle against her temple.
In a typical scenario, one would hold the other with their left arm while pointing a gun with their right hand for safety. After all, in the police dramas from Ye Huan's previous world, this was how hostages were taken. However, Ye Huan had poor learning abilities; he did indeed hold Yu Xiang'er with his left arm, but his large 'claw' inadvertently pressed right against her chest. Fortunately, Yu Xiang'er sensed the threat of the Desert Eagle at the back of her head and refrained from making any rash moves. Otherwise, Ye Huan would have likely been torn apart by her by now. Even so, it seemed that Ye Huan was unaware of his misplaced hand. Feeling the softness beneath his palm, he squeezed lightly and muttered, "Hmm, strange, Yu Xiang'er, what are you hiding in your clothes?"
"Ahhh! Ye Huan, you lecherous scoundrel! I will kill you!!!"
The deafening scream echoed through the hall. Upon hearing Ye Huan's words and feeling his hand's movement, Yu Xiang'er could no longer care about her own safety. She struggled fiercely in Ye Huan's embrace. The more she struggled, the tighter he held on; clearly, he had no intention of letting go. After all, if he did loosen his grip, wouldn't that mean Yu Xiang'er would be left to face the power of the stars carried by the Moonlight Short Sword?
Time passed slowly as inside the Yu Void Palace Main Hall, one could see Ye Huan holding onto Yu Xiang'er, who was desperately trying to break free while he refused to let go. If a third person were to witness this scene, they would surely have to reconsider what exactly was happening between them.
It was quite unfortunate that both Ye Huan and Yu Xiang'er seemed to have forgotten there was a third person present in the Yu Void Palace Main Hall. When Yan Yue awoke from his stupor and saw this scene before him, his eyes widened in shock as he lay on the ground staring at Ye Huan. Unable to help himself, he exclaimed, "Indeed a beast."
"Beast your sister!"
Having sensed through his Divine Sense that Yan Yue had woken up long ago, if it weren't for Yu Xiang'er being present, Ye Huan would have definitely dealt with Yan Yue right then and there. However, given the current situation, it seemed that his real concern should still be about Yu Xiang'er. With this thought in mind, he leaned closer to her ear and whispered softly, "Yu Xiang'er, I will let you go now, but you have to promise me we can talk this over properly. Deal?"
"What is there to talk about with someone like you?"
Turning back, Yu Xiang'er shot a fierce glare at Ye Huan. Although her tone was strong, she stopped twisting her body after a while, clearly showing her agreement with Ye Huan's words. However, just by looking at the expression on her face, it was evident that she would not let go of the fact that Ye Huan had taken advantage of her. This left Ye Huan with a headache as he reluctantly released his hold on Yu Xiang'er.
"Pervert, take this!"
As expected, just as Ye Huan had guessed, the moment he moved his hand away from Yu Xiang'er, she lunged at him with the Moonlight Sword in hand. The words "pervert" coming from her mouth made Ye Huan feel even more frustrated. After all, no matter how one looked at it, he considered himself to be a dashing and handsome young man; there was no way he could be associated with such a term.
Suddenly grabbing Yu Xiang'er's wrist, Ye Huan was not polite this time. He spoke sternly, "Enough! Stop messing around!"
"You... pervert... let go of me..."
Struggling to pull her wrist free from Ye Huan's grip, Yu Xiang'er quickly became more compliant upon seeing his expression. She must have realized that if it came down to a fight, Ye Huan, being a Nascent Soul Practitioner, could easily defeat her in an instant.
"Can we talk now?"
Noticing that Yu Xiang'er had calmed down significantly, Ye Huan finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked over to sit down on a chair in the Main Hall of Yu Void Palace. However, focused entirely on Yu Xiang'er, he failed to notice that right under his nose, a figure had swiftly darted out of the Main Hall while he and Yu Xiang'er were distracted...
