? You want more? You asked for it!

Without allowing any further explanation, Zhou Ran picked Xiao Hongli up and carried her horizontally.

The biting cold seeped through the thin fabric, and even Zhou Ran, with his physique, felt a chill.

He placed Xiao Hongli on the cramped back seat and squeezed in himself.

Thunder rumbled outside the car window, and heavy rain poured down.

Inside the car, however, lay a life-or-death crisis.

Zhou Ran circulated the Yin-Yang Technique, and a wisp of pure Yang energy was released from his palm and placed on Xiao Hongli's cold lower abdomen.

But that's far from enough.

The cold poison in her body had spread like wildfire.

Only by using the purest yang energy from the inside out to completely break down the defenses can yin and yang be harmonized and life and death reversed.

A purple glint flashed in Zhou Ran's eyes as he leaned down and patted her snow-white, icy cheek.

"Xiao Hongli, can you hear me?"

Xiao Hongli struggled to open her eyes, her vision already blurred. She could only follow her survival instinct and desperately burrowed into Zhou Ran's arms, greedily absorbing the oven-like warmth emanating from his body.

"It's so cold...give it to me..."

She murmured unconsciously, tearing at Zhou Ran's clothes with her hands, her fingernails leaving red marks on his firm chest.

A flash of determination crossed Zhou Ran's eyes.

Saving others is saving yourself.

This eruption of extreme Yin energy was, to him, the world's most supreme furnace and the unparalleled ladder to a higher realm.

"You got off easy."

Zhou Ran whispered, no longer hesitating, and kissed those two cold lips that had already turned purple.

The raindrops pounded wildly on the car roof, creating a chaotic symphony that drowned out everything inside.

"Um……"

As a powerful warm current surged in, Xiao Hongli's painful groans gradually turned into a soft, charming moan.

Her tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

The deathly cold was being dispelled by a series of ruthless forces.

It's like placing a red-hot chess piece on a chessboard that's been frozen for a thousand years.

Where the warm current passes, ice and snow melt, and all things revive.

Her consciousness was forcibly pulled back from the abyss of chaos.

When she opened her eyes, she found herself lying in Zhou Ran's arms in a shameful position, and two blushes instantly rose on her pretty face.

But instead of pushing her away, she hugged Zhou Ran's waist even tighter.

"Zhou Ran..."

Xiao Hongli's voice was weak and soft, carrying the relief of surviving a disaster, and also a hint of dependence and longing that she herself was unaware of.

"Don't get distracted, stay focused, and feel the changes in the game."

Zhou Ran placed a piece and calmly said.

Xiao Hongli immediately shut her mouth and obediently did as she was told.

"Well……"

She let out a soft moan of unbearable longing, and the usually domineering, icy female CEO completely melted away, transforming into a little woman who only knew how to ask for things.

This move suppressed the cold poison, and an unprecedented feeling of comfort swept over his entire body.

This feeling is wonderful.

Like a wanderer carrying a heavy burden on his back, who has traveled thousands of miles, suddenly freed from all his shackles.

Xiao Hongli's eyes were glazed over; she had tasted the sweetness of it all.

This game of chess is so comfortable.

She wrapped herself around Zhou Ran's neck like an octopus, wanting to try again.

"Next..."

Her voice was tinged with sobs, yet also carried an uncontrollable allure.

Zhou Ran looked at Xiao Hongli, who was exuding a seductive charm, and sighed inwardly.

As expected of someone with the Yin constitution!

The pure yin essence that unconsciously overflowed from her body caused his Yin-Yang Technique to operate wildly, and the solid barrier of his realm actually developed a crack under the impact of this power.

"You asked for this, don't cry now that you've lost!"

Zhou Ran let out a low roar, his eyes blazing with purple light, revealing the domineering nature of the Demon Emperor.

A beautiful woman must be offered as a sacrifice; to refuse such an offer would be unworthy of a demonic cultivator!

"The game has begun; there's no chance to beg for mercy."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Ferrari began to shake more violently in the wind and rain.

This contest is far wilder than any life-or-death battle.

Zhou Ran, the player, launched a relentless offensive, advancing his knight, pushing his cannon, and moving his chariot to the bottom line, each move aimed directly at the vital points, executed flawlessly in one go.

Looking at the chessboard, Xiao Hongli could only passively endure the defeat.

From initially robbing Peter to pay Paul to later utterly collapsing.

Her beautiful eyes were tightly closed, her delicate brows slightly furrowed. On the chessboard in her mind, she had been utterly defeated, with only a "general" struggling to hold on in the small nine-square grid.

She didn't want to lose, so she could only grip Zhou Ran's shoulders tightly, her nails digging deep into his muscles.

Just as Zhou Ran shifted his forces, advancing his pawns step by step, preparing to deliver a "checkmate" and end the game completely.

hum!

A sudden jolt ran through the depths of his consciousness.

An extremely dark and sinister wave, filled with death and resentment, suddenly pierced into his consciousness.

He was very familiar with this aura.

That's the evil aura unique to the Wuji Sect!

Its direction was precisely towards the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top where Chen Ya was!

Zhou Ran's movements suddenly stopped, and the temperature inside the car seemed to drop to freezing point in an instant.

"What's wrong...?"

Xiao Hongli opened her eyes with lingering interest, her watery eyes filled with confusion and a desire to discuss chess.

Zhou Ran took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the surging demonic energy and killing intent within his body.

That fluctuation was too intense; Chen Ya must have encountered a formidable enemy, whose strength far surpassed that of the two grandmasters from tonight.

"Excuse me, the game has to stop."

Zhou Ran's voice was as cold as iron, devoid of any warmth.

He had no time to proceed cautiously and could only end it in the most brutal way.

Under his mental control, that piece suddenly transformed into a domineering seal, directly locking down the source of the cold poison within her body!

"what!"

Caught off guard by a sudden move that silenced her and took down her veteran general, Xiao Hongli let out a short gasp.

Then, she was completely defeated, with no strength left in her body.

We lost again...

She slumped down in the back seat.

Zhou Ran quickly got up, grabbed the torn suit jacket, and covered Xiao Hongli's shapely body with it.

He wiped the sweat from her forehead, a barely perceptible hint of pity flashing in his eyes.

"Stay in the car and wait for me."

Zhou Ran turned off the car lights, pushed open the door and got out. The cold rain instantly poured in, washing away the last trace of romance inside the car.

His figure flashed and disappeared into the rain, sneaking into the area of ​​the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds like a ghost.

The Chen family villa, which should have been brightly lit, was now eerily dark and silent.

The gate was tightly shut, and all the streetlights were off.

The entire manor was shrouded in boundless darkness and rainy night, like a primordial beast ready to devour its prey.

It's too quiet.

The silence itself was eerie, and even the security guards at the entrance had vanished without a trace.

As Zhou Ran climbed over the wall, the moment his toes touched the ground, a sticky, stagnant feeling enveloped his entire body.

He felt as if he were sinking into an invisible quagmire, each step heavy and difficult.

The air was filled with colorless and odorless fine powder, which not only blocked the view but also suppressed the senses.

The moment his divine sense reached out, it was forcibly compressed back to within five meters by an invisible force.

"The Witch Clan's 'Spirit Sealing Powder' paired with a low-grade 'Bewitching Array'."

Zhou Ran understood.

"You dare to show off your meager skills in front of me?"

No wonder they dared to act so brazenly.

This kind of formation is a devastating blow to ordinary martial artists. Even if a Grandmaster of Internal Energy were to enter, with his five senses crippled, he would be at the mercy of others.

Just then, in the pitch-black lobby of the villa, a cold, hoarse voice echoed eerily.

"Your little man is finally back."
