Chapter 379 - Pit Wits Against a Dangerous Beauty
Xiao Bing opened his eyes and jumped from the bed. He found that the window in this cottage could be easily opened. Then he leaned on it and looked out, realizing that the life here was totally different from that of modern society.
Crows, snakes, lizards, and spiders could be found everywhere. Xiao Bing did not know where this place was, but he was sure that it was clearly not the Peach Garden.
Then he noticed two men passing by. He found there was a fist sized bulge on one man’s forehead, and there were disgusting scales on the other man’s forehead. Xiao Bing gasped, wondering if he had stepped into a demon’s world.
Xiao Bing wanted to take a stroll around the area, but he worried that Red Rose would come back early. This sexy woman truly deserved the title. She was beautiful as a red rose, but she made Xiao Bing feel like she was a total femme fatale, which was as dangerous as the thorns on the roses.
Xiao Bing pondered for a moment and he figured that Red Rose would not come back so soon, since she had just left for the meeting. He decided to take a stroll, before she came back.
Xiao Bing pushed open the door and walked out discreetly. Though it was evening, the sky was not completely dark yet. Xiao Bing kept well out of sight of the other people, while walking through this place. But soon he found something abnormal about this place.
First, the houses were not properly designed, and the cottages were scattered all over the streets.
Second, most of the men he met had different forms of abnormalities. The long-faced man he met before was normal when compared with the others.
Xiao Bing had so many questions merely from these two aspects that he observed.
From the ages of feudalism or even slavery, the most obvious feature of mankind was order. No matter what they did, they always did it in an orderly fashion, even in the worst situation. But it was not the same with what was happening here. The buildings were laid out in a higgledy-piggledy formation here.
It gave Xiao Bing chills when he found that there was no form of order here. He wondered what these people were. Humans? Or demons?
Xiao Bing was startled when he thought about that.historical
When he thought about their appearances, he found his assumption to be more solid.
Xiao Bing had encountered many difficulties when he carried out missions. But none of them were as complicated as this, dangerous and creepy in terms of environment. Firstly he met Feng XIII, the most cunning foe he had ever encountered. Then he stepped into a world which was totally strange to him. Every person he saw made this place seem much creepier than ever.
He did not know what their plan was. He heard that they were out to capture some powerful martial artists and use them as their tonics. He wondered what kind of a tonic it was. Were they going to eat them? Xiao Bing could not figure it out, even though he racked his brains inside out.
Xiao Bing even sensed an extremely evil aura, which made him very worried. That was why Xiao Bing did not dare to do anything for now. But he was sure that it was not Feng XIII. That man could never make him feel so disturbed.
What the hell is this place?
And who were these people?
What was the rite about? What do they mean by tonics? What was their purpose?”
Xiao Bing dared not stay out any longer. On one hand, he was afraid of being spotted by that powerful being. On the other hand, he did not want Red Rose to know his true identity. So he quietly returned to her chamber, and lay on the bed.
After about 10 minutes, Red Rose came back. Staring at Xiao Bing who was lying on the bed, she licked her lips, lust glittering in her eyes. It was a tempting scene, but Xiao Bing could not see it, since he was pretending to be asleep.
Red Rose took out a small bottle. She opened it and held it under Xiao Bing’s nose. Xiao Bing smelt a faint fragrance. Then he pretended to be awakened.
“You’re awake.” Red Rose sat beside the bed, staring at Xiao Bing.
She was wearing a revealing red silk dress, which made her look very sexy. The first thing Xiao Bing saw when he opened his eyes, was her butt. He nearly lost control of himself. Then he looked up and saw her slender waist.
In fact, Xiao Bing had seen many beautiful girls with sexy bodies, but none of them could compare with Red Rose. Her slender waist was soft and smooth, which made Xiao Bing want to put his hands on it. Besides that, her butt, breasts and legs were all perfectly crafted.
Men could not help having sinful thoughts the moment they caught a glimpse of her body.
Red Rose reached out and held his chin up with two fingers. Xiao Bing met her bewitching eyes instantly. He could not help swallowing. “Am I beautiful?” The woman chuckled.
“I feel like..”
“Feel like what?” Red Rose teased.
“I feel like you are a snake.”
A sudden coldness flashed in her eyes. But soon she grinned again, “Really.”
Xiao Bing managed a wry smile, “Please don’t be angry. Actually it’s a compliment. Most of the men on earth would not be able to resist your beauty, even though they are aware of the danger.”
Xiao Bing became more eager to do something bad, after Red Rose licked her lips again.
“Alright.” She let go of Xiao Bing’s chin and pointed at the bedside. “Sit up and talk to me.”
Xiao Bing then sat up, as what she had asked.
“Tell me about the world outside.” The woman looked at Xiao Bing eagerly, “You can tell me your story.”
“My story? What part do you want to hear?”
“Any part.” Red Rose said, “As long as it’s about the outside world.”
Xiao Bing asked with deliberate casualness, “You have never left this place? Why don’t you take a look at the world outside?”
Red Rose chuckled, “You don’t have to try to get information from me. But I don’t care if you succeed, because you can never leave this place now.
Xiao Bing then walked directly towards the door. The smile on her face curdled. “Stop!” She said angrily.
Xiao Bing looked back at this woman and said with determination, “You can trap me here or even kill me. But you can’t stop me from trying to know where I am. I can stay in this cottage and wait for your ceremony to be over, as what you have asked of me. But I have to know what this place is, and the people here and the whereabouts of my teammates. Otherwise you can’t stop me from walking out from this cottage, even if you kill me. I won’t regret it, even if you make me your tonic!”
Red Rose stared at Xiao Bing, like a viper targeting its prey. “You are not afraid of death?”
Xiao Bing looked at this woman and asked, “Do you think I fear death after I just fell from a cliff? A man will fear nothing, after he has faced death.”
The two were looking at each other. In Red Rose’s eyes, Xiao Bing was merely nothing since she was far more powerful than him. But the fearlessness in his eyes was something she had never seen in anyone’s eyes before. It was something completely different from her first impression of Xiao Bing. Suddenly, a strange feeling took hold of her.
She was a beautiful snake.
She was a beautiful snake that all men would fall for.
And this man had spurred all her desires. There were few men in this place who could spark her interest. So she did not want to see this man dead. So this domineering woman tried to compromise with him. She pointed at the bed and said, “Just sit down. You can’t get out of here anyway. Let me tell you something.”
Xiao Bing breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his guess was right. This woman was interested in him, not mentally, but physically.
For a lustful woman who had been trapped here for a long time, Xiao Bing’s appearance was like rain after a long drought. She could barely control her lust, so Xiao Bing was sure that she would not want to see him dead, or made into a tonic.
Then the two sat next to each other. The fragrance from her body stirred Xiao Bing’s mind. But then he restored his calmness after he quivered for a second. It seemed that her fragrance was an aphrodisiac. But Xiao Bing’s strong mentality helped him to control his urges. He put these thoughts away and said, “I’m all ears.”
Red Rose was even more surprised and interested in him, when she noticed that Xiao Bing was still so calm. She played with her beautiful hair and asked, “Which part do you want to hear first?”
“Tell me why you are living here.”
