Chapter 108: Chapter 108: I’m Only a Rogue and a Rascal to You

Above the lake, the Undying Wood was nowhere to be seen, and the Phoenix Couple had long since vanished without a trace.

A streak of golden light appeared at the horizon; dawn was about to break, and the fog enveloping Yunmeng Swamp finally dissipated.

Everything that happened last night seemed like a dream.

Only upon seeing the Phoenix Egg in her hand did Ye Lingyue realize that it was all real.

The Golden-faced Man leaped over the water; Ye Lingyue felt only a breeze whistling past her ear as he gracefully soared above the water’s surface.

An Minxia, lying on the ground, had witnessed the Golden-faced Man’s terrifying strength and bizarre movement technique from start to finish.

Now, looking at his golden mask and the night black clothes, a name flashed through An Minxia’s mind.

"Ghost Emperor Wu Zhong!"

She should have realized that the only ones on the mainland capable of instantly killing eight Innate Experts were few and far between.

Ghost Emperor Wu Zhong, of unknown age and background.

He rose to fame five years ago as a genius of his generation, rumored to possess Emperor-level Martial Arts, surpassing even First-tier.

He single-handedly established the Underground Kingdom that spanned across the entire mainland -- the Underworld Yama Palace.

The henchmen of the Underworld Yama Palace were distributed all over the mainland; it was rumored that the most outstanding Assassins and the largest arms trades were all controlled by Yama Palace.

The Ghost Emperor Wu Zhong, who moved without a trace, had once led the great kingdoms of the mainland in a joint effort to exterminate the Underworld Yama Palace. But in just one night, the heads of the generals of the coalition army set out to destroy the Underworld Yama Palace were presented to the Emperors of their respective countries.

Since then, no one on the mainland dared to contend with the Underworld Yama Palace.

But why would the highly prestigious, supremely powerful Ghost Emperor of the Underground Kingdom appear in Yunmeng Swamp? Moreover, it seemed that he was well acquainted with a country bumpkin named Ye Lingyue.

After guessing Wu Zhong’s identity, An Minxia was drenched in a cold sweat.

First Prince Feng, then Ghost Emperor, just how many high-status individuals does Ye Lingyue know? Why should such a lowly woman gain the favor of both Prince Feng and the Ghost Emperor? Minxia was both jealous and resentful, but at this moment, she dared not provoke Ye Lingyue again.

After crossing the lake, as the first light of dawn bathed Yunmeng Swamp, Ye Lingyue found herself in an open space.

"Woman, why is it that every time we meet, you look rather disheveled?" Wu Zhong’s tone was teasing with a hint of mockery, upsetting Ye Lingyue.

It seemed that every time she encountered this damned man, it was a matter of life and death.

And each time, she was in her most pitiful state, rescued by him.

"It’s all because of you, every encounter with you, this yin-yang strange golden-faced monster, never brings anything good," Ye Lingyue spat back irritably.

Indeed, both of her encounters with the golden-faced man were not pleasant at all.

"Call me Wu Zhong," Wu Zhong pressed closer.

"No way," Ye Lingyue lifted her head, intimidated by Wu Zhong’s height, she stepped back only to be met with the lake behind her, with no place left to retreat.

"Really won’t call me that?" Wu Zhong’s seductive lips curved upwards.

"I said no, and I mean no," Ye Lingyue remembered the last time in the cave, her ears reddening at the thought.

This damned man was nothing but a hoodlum; she couldn’t be bothered to remember his name.

"If you won’t call me that, I’ll have to kiss you," Wu Zhong drawled as he moved in closer.

"Wu... Zhong," Ye Lingyue was startled, this man, was known for his impulsivity and doing as he pleased.

"Too quiet, I can’t hear you." Wu Zhong’s breath was about to spew on Ye Lingyue’s face.

"Wu Zhong," Ye Lingyue called out through gritted teeth.

"Wrong tone." Wu Zhong smirked wickedly, and in the next second, Ye Lingyue felt a pair of iron arms around her waist, pulling her abruptly into the hard embrace of the man.

Her lips were seized, her teeth pried apart, and the man’s breath enveloped her overwhelmingly.

This man, he actually kissed her again.

Ye Lingyue’s mind went blank, her body rigid. Realizing she had been toyed with by Wu Zhong once more, she fiercely bit down on Wu Zhong’s tongue.

Who would have known Wu Zhong had anticipated this move from Ye Lingyue, and he was even quicker to react, his hand catching her chin in a tight grip, rendering her unable to bite.

"You rascal, I clearly called out..." Ye Lingyue said, her cheeks puffed out in anger, pretending to bite Wu Zhong again.

"I never said I wouldn’t kiss you just because you called out," he said, breaking into a loud laugh.

"You’re a hoodlum!" Ye Lingyue was seething with anger.

"My Little Yueyue, you’ll soon realize that I’m not only a hoodlum, but also very shameless. However, I’m only such a hoodlum and so shameless toward you alone," Wu Zhong said, caressing her lips with his long fingers. Just as he was about to savor another kiss, a sudden disturbance within him struck.

Damn it... causing trouble at such a time.

Wu Zhong suddenly withdrew his hand, his figure vanishing like a flash of black lightning.

"Little Yueyue, you need to become stronger, that’s the kind of woman Wu Zhong fancies." Before Ye Lingyue could open her mouth to curse, Wu Zhong disappeared, his laughter, crisp yet uninhibited, echoing far into the dark night.

His figure had vanished.

"Shameless! Rascal!" Ye Lingyue stomped her feet in fury.

"Little Zhiyo, why didn’t you stop that guy just now!" she scolded, pulling out Little Zhiyo, who had been hiding in her clothes all this while.

"Zhi~yo~" Little Zhiyo looked utterly aggrieved, that man was too frightening, it didn’t dare to intervene.

"Alright, alright, I’ll let it slide this time." Ye Lingyue said grumpily, rubbing her lips that had swollen from the kiss.

With daylight breaking, Ye Lingyue remembered she had been delayed for an entire night due to the Phoenix Egg.

She wondered how Lan Cai’er and Feng Xun were doing.

Ye Lingyue hastily went off in search of the two, and on the way, she encountered Lan Cai’er.

It turned out that after being caught up by the guards of An Country, Lan Cai’er had managed to escape using the fog.

She was concerned about Ye Lingyue and had searched around, not finding her. Luckily, after the fog had dissipated, the two finally met.

"But it’s strange, I didn’t see An Minxia and her henchmen," Lan Cai’er said, puzzled.

"We need to hurry back to the camp." Ye Lingyue was somewhat worried about Feng Xun’s safety, as she had been solely focused on finding the Phoenix Egg last night and had neglected him.

As soon as Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er returned to the camp, they found it utterly deserted. To worsen matters, around the camp, lay several bodies of starving swamp wolves, some had died by suicide, while the others had clearly undergone a fierce struggle.

"This is bad, Prince Feng is missing," Lan Cai’er turned pale.

Ye Lingyue’s expression changed as well; not only was Prince Feng missing, but Dahuang was also nowhere to be seen.
