**Chapter Seventy-Five: Another Insert? If You Can’t Fight, Just Lie Back and Enjoy**
A sultry deep voice suddenly echoed, causing Yun Zhonghe and the others to hold their breath.
The three of them cautiously leaned towards the exit, peeking outside.
To their astonishment, there was a spacious grand hall, elegantly classical, with swirling smoke indicating incense being burned, yet it couldn’t mask the unpleasant smell of bl**d.
Around the hall, there were scattered human bones on the ground, casting a sinister gloom over the otherwise refined space.
This was not a place to sip tea gracefully; it was the Shura Palace of the King of Hell!
A voluptuous woman clad in sleek black attire had her back to them, occasionally raising her hand to cast spells into the air.
“Stop struggling! Just one sacrifice and I’ll let everyone else go.”
The black-clothed woman’s words dripped with temptation, laced with some mind-affecting magic.
The three instantly focused, trying to resist the invasion of her vile energy.
“Spell activation, mental influence… This demon cultivator is at the Golden Core Stage!”
Xiao Hu’s face tightened.
All three were merely at the Foundation Establishment Stage—handling a Golden Core Stage opponent would certainly be a challenge.
At that moment, Yun Zhonghe noticed the greedy gaze of the woman linger on a specific spot on the ground, where there was a cocoon-like object.
As she cast her spells, the light from the cocoon dimmed rapidly.
“Pfft! Succubus! I’ll never yield to you!”
“For committing such heinous acts, the righteous path will not let you off the hook!”
Hearing the furious roar from the cocoon, the black-clothed woman merely sneered, even giving a derisive laugh.
She could sense the abundance of bl**d energy within the woman; her talent was extraordinary. If she devoured her, it would be like feasting on a hundred qi-refinement stage morsels, boosting her own cultivation tremendously!
“Sweet heart, don’t be so quick to refuse. You’re still young and don’t know the charm of a mature woman. I don’t mind taking you to extreme ecstasy and merging as one.”
Yun Zhonghe couldn’t help but shiver at those seductive words.
This really was a fantasy game world— even losing CGs involved girl-on-girl action; it seemed the enemies were into yuri too.
Meanwhile, the woman in the cocoon received the invitation to join the “Kukuku Space” and was infuriated.
“Gross! Ugly freak! Delusional!”
“Pfft! A toad trying to eat swan meat?”
“Old hag! Ugly freak!”
No doubt about it—this was Qin Hongye!
The black-clothed woman’s fury peaked; how dare they call her old and ugly!
She was a stunning beauty, thank you very much!
This ungrateful bl**d snack!
In a rage, she flung her spells towards the cocoon, throwing them as if they cost nothing.
But the other party was huddled up like a turtle, comfortably hiding in its shell, completely unbothered.
Yet, the opponent was, after all, a Golden Core Stage demon cultivator. With all that bl**d-sugar-fueled ferocity, her relentless attacks on the same spot would surely crack that annoying shell eventually.
The person hiding in the cocoon was also quite anxious. She could feel that the cocoon was on the brink of collapse.
At that moment, a strong feeling surged inside Mu Jixue’s mind.
She should intervene and save someone!
The feeling grew more intense, almost like a mission, telling her that this was the moment to leap forward and rescue the innocent female cultivator.
Huang Aotian focused her eyes, her spiritual energy brimming for action.
An ice sword materialized in her hand, her body coiled like a cat ready to pounce.
Huang Aotian was about to take action!
“Stop…”
But just as she was about to speak and charge in, a golden figure shot out before her, moving even faster, like a flash of yellow light!
【Stand back! I’ll be the bait here.】
Yun Zhonghe left two strands of spiritual messages for Mu Jixue and Xiao Hu.
Facing the Golden Core Stage demon cultivator, Yun Zhonghe disregarded his own life and d*ath, charging recklessly to save a female cultivator with whom he had no ties.
This move shocked Xiao Hu immensely! Her big eyes sparkled with astonishment.
Yun Zhonghe leaped into danger in a breathtaking moment, turning heads!
This yellow-haired guy was surprisingly brave and fearless!
Dashing out like this would surely spell doom for him; yet, he charged forward, shielding the two young ladies behind him and leaving the danger for himself.
Xiao Hu had never seen someone so foolish before.
At that moment, Qin Hongye, trapped in the cocoon, noticed someone had jumped out, and her heart raced as she stared in disbelief.
Though she tried to appear strong and fearless against the enemy, she was actually panicking inside, feeling she was about to give in.
She regretted sneaking away from the Xuantian Sect and coming to this little town to look for spiritual herbs just to please Mu Jixue.
In this life-and-d*ath moment, she suddenly realized how silly she had been.
Feeling powerless and ready to perish with the demon cultivator, even if she died, she couldn’t let her parents’ faces be tarnished.
Yet, she didn’t want to d*e; she was still so young and at the peak of her youth…
But then, Yun Zhonghe suddenly jumped out. His brave action struck a deep chord within her, hitting her with a wave of shocking emotions.
Who was that? How did he get here? Was he here to save me?
Qin Hongye couldn’t clearly see who it was.
Only Mu Jixue…
Ugh! Why do you always have to jump in! This was supposed to be my moment to shine!
Every single time, Yun Zhonghe was the one putting in the effort, and I barely get a chance to take the lead. Yet, here he was again, taking the spotlight.
But she couldn’t say anything; objectively speaking, Yun Zhonghe was risking everything, serving as bait, keeping her safe.
Mu Jixue felt complicated and frustrated, as if something that should have been hers was unjustly taken away.
Don’t worry, big guy; your chance to shine will come!
The current plot had already deviated from the original work, and Yun Zhonghe wasn’t completely comfortable leaving the task of taking down the BOSS to Mu Jixue. If she faltered, things could get messy.
Yun Zhonghe charged ahead to wear down the BOSS’s health line, ready to let Huang Aotian take the stage when it was time for the finishing blow. How perfect that would be!
Whether in games or the real world, people always remember the heroes who snag the kills and forget the efforts of those who chiseled away at the enemy’s health bar.
Qin Hongye would certainly be mesmerized by Huang Aotian’s graceful prowess~
As for Yun Zhonghe, he just needed to get some assists and snag a bit of Qin Hongye’s affection—that would be the perfect ending!
So let the trouble be handled by this yellow-haired guy, while you two just get cozy!
【I’ll play the bait and save the day. You two just find a chance to take out the demon cultivator!】
Yun Zhonghe surged forward while sending out a second spiritual message to Mu Jixue and Xiao Hu.
“Cackling! Little mouse, couldn’t hold back and ran out?”
Just as Yun Zhonghe leaped from the hidden tunnel’s stone slab, the black-clothed woman reacted immediately, an eerie smile appearing on her face.
She had sensed someone hiding behind her long ago and had pretended not to react, just to see what they would do.
She never expected someone would actually jump out without fear.
“It’s you?!”
But upon seeing Yun Zhonghe’s face, the black-clothed woman froze in shock.
