Chapter 416: What Are You Doing!?

"Are you really going to agree to anything I ask?"

Su Chen looked at Youji Nuhuang with great interest and said nonchalantly.

A look of intense struggle flashed through Youji Nuhuang's eyes; she bit her lip unconsciously with her pearly teeth, her eyes misting over, clearly caught in a state of extreme conflict.

Her hands clenched unconsciously, as if she had made a great resolution, and she closed her eyes gently, her eyelashes trembling slightly, like a butterfly about to be crushed.

She nodded.

Su Chen was instantly intrigued; he never expected that a woman who looked as cold as frost would actually be afraid of having her veil removed.

Thinking of this, he picked up Youji Nuhuang horizontally in front of everyone.

It was the first time Youji Nuhuang had been in such intimate contact with a man, so she subconsciously wrapped her arms around Su Chen's neck, a look of intense unease flashing in her eyes.

"What are you doing?"

Youji Nuhuang's voice trembled, though she was forcing herself to remain calm.

"If you don't want me to remove your veil in front of everyone, you had better behave yourself from now on."

Su Chen curled his lips with interest, his voice very low, like a devil's whisper.

Youji Nuhuang couldn't help but clench her teeth, looking humiliated, but in the end, she did nothing.

"I am going to interrogate Youming Nuhuang personally; I will leave the rest of the matters to you all to handle."

Su Chen looked at the others, and after giving his instructions, he left with Youming Nuhuang.

"I advise you not to act rashly, otherwise, even if I have to commit suicide, I will never let you succeed!"

Youji Nuhuang gritted her teeth as she looked at Su Chen; if looks could kill, Su Chen would have died thousands of times over.

"You had better be honest now, otherwise, even if you die, I will still remove your veil and hang your corpse there for strangers to admire your... peerless beauty."

As Su Chen spoke, he carefully observed the expression on Youji Nuhuang's face.

Visibly, Youji Nuhuang's complexion gradually turned pale, and even her body trembled imperceptibly.

"Not only that, I will also have your appearance painted into a portrait and spread it far and wide, so that everyone will know exactly what the legendary Youji Nuhuang looks like."

Su Chen's voice carried the unique arrogance of a young man, low and pleasant to the ear.

Yet to Youji Nuhuang, it sounded like a devil's whisper.

She widened her eyes subconsciously, as if she had already imagined such a scene; her face was as pale as paper, and she looked pitiful.

"No! You absolutely cannot do that!"

Youji Nuhuang responded immediately, her gaze involuntarily meeting Su Chen's.

"So, if you don't want me to do that, you had better behave; your life right now is not something you can decide for yourself alone."

Su Chen smiled, and seeing that Youji Nuhuang truly believed him, he couldn't help but think to himself that she was easily fooled.

However, this could not be blamed on Youji Nuhuang; after all, she had been dominating the Nanman for hundreds of thousands of years and had never done anything so disgraceful.

In front of outsiders or enemies, Youming Nuhuang had always been synonymous with a cold-blooded, snake-hearted woman.

If such a thing were to spread, it would simply ruin her image and even cause her to become a laughingstock for all, leaving a bad reputation for ten thousand years.

Just thinking about it made Youji Nuhuang feel a chill in her heart.

Just as she was stunned, Su Chen had already brought her into the room and ruthlessly tossed her onto the bed. "What are you doing!?"

Although Youji Nuhuang had never experienced such a thing, she was not a naive young girl after all, so she naturally understood.

She immediately used her hands to protect her vital parts, looking at Su Chen with a vigilant expression.

"A lone man and a lone woman in the same room—what we are going to do is naturally clear enough."

Su Chen sat down brazenly beside Youji Nuhuang, looking at her with burning eyes.

For some reason, Youji Nuhuang seemed to be startled; although no substantial harm had been done, she felt the scorching heat in Su Chen's gaze.

"This Venerable One will not submit to you. Although I don't know what method you used to make Yi Zhuyue and Ziwei Xianzi devoted to you, I will not be like them."

Youji Nuhuang gritted her teeth, her beautiful eyes glaring fixedly at Su Chen.

Her pitch-black pupils were like glazed stones, and at this moment, because of Su Chen, they were flushed with anger, like a dazzling, eye-catching piece of jewelry that had been discovered.

"If you don't listen to me, that's fine too; then don't blame me for making your appearance public and letting you be famous for ages—"

Su Chen nodded, gave Youming Nuhuang a meaningful look, and drew out the end of his sentence with intense interest.

Youji Nuhuang's expression changed instantly; she looked at Su Chen with indignation, gritting her teeth hard, and only after a long while did she manage to spit out a few words through her teeth.

"You—you are simply shameless!"

"That this Young Master is shameless, this Young Master naturally knows."

Su Chen lazily stretched, looking at the Youji Nuhuang before him with interest, "After all, being kind to an enemy is being cruel to oneself; whatever I do to you, it doesn't seem to be excessive, does it?"

To be honest, Youji Nuhuang had nothing to say.

If Su Chen had fallen into her hands, to avoid trouble, she would definitely have severed his hand and foot tendons, crippled his cultivation, and finally gone to report to the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor.

Looking at it now, Su Chen was comparatively quite merciful, which also gave Youji Nuhuang a chance to maneuver.

"You are just relying on Yi Zhuyue and Ziwei Xianzi; if you have the ability, compete with me and defeat me fair and square—only then would I be convinced."

Youji Nuhuang sneered, her eyes rolling as she thought of a countermeasure.

Such a goading tactic was naturally useless against Su Chen.

This method was only effective on people who cared about their reputation, but Su Chen was different; Su Chen was born thick-skinned. Even if he admitted he relied on women, so what? Thinking of this, Su Chen couldn't help but laugh softly.

Youji Nuhuang was baffled by his laughter and could only stare at Su Chen with her eyes, very vigilant.

"You are too naive. The fight between us is inherently unfair. You have lived much longer than me; although your strength has been suppressed to the Half-step Great Emperor level, your true cultivation is terrifying. Do you think I would fall for your goading?"

After Su Chen finished speaking, he looked at Youji Nuhuang with great interest.

Youji Nuhuang had her secret poked at and couldn't help but glare at Su Chen in embarrassment and anger.

Su Chen, however, had lost his patience; he came directly in front of Youji Nuhuang, used force with one hand, and gripped her chin tightly, forcing her to look at him.

"I've grown tired of meaningless conversation; I have no interest in dragging things out with you."

Although Su Chen said this with a smile, the faint smile did not reach his eyes; deep within his eyes lay a dense vortex.

That vortex made one's scalp tingle, as if it could suck a person in the very next second.
