Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 739: Chapter 739: National Demon Sprite (30)

Chuzheng and Xiao Yue exchanged a silent gaze, both contemplating probably the same thing—how to kill each other.

But they hadn’t noticed that Xun Yin, who was just standing in the corridor, had disappeared.

By the time Xiao Yue realized it, it was already too late.

Xun Yin suddenly appeared in front of her, gave her a sinister smile, and swiftly snatched back the inner core.

Xiao Yue tried to stop him but found that the Monster Qi emanating from Xun Yin was even stronger than her own.

”You... how could your strength have improved so much?”

Xiao Yue’s face slightly changed, a sense of horror taking root in her heart.

He had been imprisoned for such a long time, his strength couldn’t possibly have increased so fast, no, something was not right...

Xun Yin didn’t give Xiao Yue the time to figure out what was happening.

Xiao Yue was kicked by Xun Yin into the abyss, crashing into the bottom layer of the Monster Tower.

Xun Yin descended from the void, looking down from high above at the somewhat disheveled Xiao Yue.

”Don’t you think the Monster Tower is too quiet?”

His strength, of course, came from absorbing the inner cores of those demons.

”You...” Xiao Yue seemed to have realized, ”How is that possible...”

Many of the demons in the Monster Tower were stronger than them when they were imprisoned.

How could he have killed all those demons?

Xun Yin, holding the inner core and examining it for a moment, a dark light flickered in his ink-like pupils, ”Xiao Yue, I originally just wanted to kill you, but...”

Xun Yin paused.

She actually dared to take his inner core.

”You like her?” Xiao Yue propped herself up on her elbows, clutching her chest, ”What about her do you like?”

”None of your business.”

”I’ve liked you for so long, of course it’s my business. What gives you the right to like her?” Xiao Yue refused to accept this.

”Liked me?” Xun Yin scoffed, ”Liking me, and you resorted to such underhanded methods, imprisoning me for so many years?”

”...” Xiao Yue bit her lower lip, defending herself, ”I didn’t really intend to imprison you at the beginning, but then too many things happened, and I couldn’t get to you in time to release you...”

After she had imprisoned Xun Yin, she had intended to release him after some time.

No one expected that so many things would be discovered afterwards.

All the demons of the Demon Clan began to fall into a deep sleep.

No one was able to resist that mysterious power.

Until thirty years ago when she awoke.

But the whole world had turned upside down, and she couldn’t immediately find the place where she had imprisoned him.

”You’ve only known her for how long?” Xiao Yue looked up at Chuzheng above her and questioned Xun Yin, ”Why do you like her? It was me who met you first!!”

Xun Yin’s gaze softened, and after a moment he began to smile gently, his voice tender, ”Liking someone has nothing to do with time.”

-

Chuzheng felt rather annoyed at being upstaged by Xun Yin.

So those people brought by Xiao Yue were out of luck.

When Chuzheng went down, Xiao Yue had already been stripped of two arms, lying on the ground with a pale face.

Chuzheng thought it wasn’t very nice to be so rough with a girl.

[...]You’re probably just annoyed that she’s dying too slowly.

The King’s Account really understood Chuzheng too well.

If she wanted to deal with someone, she wished for that person to drop dead immediately, without any fuss.

Roughness was merely a matter of saving time.

”Xun Yin, how can you do this to me!!” Xiao Yue roared, love and hate smoldering in her eyes.

Xun Yin spread his hands innocently, ”That’s how you treated me at the start.”

The rage from his imprisonment was now almost spent.

But now...

Thinking about how she dared to take her inner core made Xun Yin unable to suppress his anger.

He wanted to tear the person in front of him into countless pieces.

-

The living room shimmered with light as Chuzheng and Xun Yin slowly materialized.

The man guarding the place became alert at the sight of strangers, his muscles tensing up.

Before he had a chance to speak, Xun Yin raised his hand and clutched the man’s neck. With a snap, the man slumped down.

Zhuang Ji was tied up, tossed carelessly onto the ground.

Directly in front of them, Kid was lying in a pool of blood, and it was unclear whether he was alive or dead.

With Zhongli Luo’s power too weak, Xiao Yue wanted to bring in so many people at once, and the ordinary means wouldn’t do.

So there was the scene now unfolding before Chuzheng’s eyes...

Chuzheng picked up Zhongli Luo and pressed down on his bleeding wrist.

Xun Yin looked on with a sullen face, neither helping nor hindering.

The room was filled with Monster Qi, rampant and violent, like a relentless storm that made it hard to breathe.

Chuzheng staunched the bleeding for Zhongli Luo, placed him on the bed, then untied Zhuang Ji.

Zhuang Ji ignored Chuzheng and Xun Yin and rushed to Zhongli Luo’s side.

Chuzheng turned to look at the still gloomy Xun Yin, walked over, and took his hand.

Xun Yin shook her off abruptly.

Chuzheng: ”...”

Chuzheng grabbed hold again, and this time Xun Yin did not shake her off.

”Are you unhappy that I killed her?” Chuzheng took the chance when Xun Yin wasn’t paying attention, acted first, and took care of Xiao Yue, having promised her a ”luxury death package,” she couldn’t go back on her word!

But she had not expected Xun Yin to get angry.

Chuzheng pressed closer to him, ”Do you care about her?”

Xun Yin’s gaze dropped slightly, his tone laced with subtle disdain and contempt, ”Who cares about her.”

”Then what are you angry about?”

”Such a death is too easy for her.”

”Can’t you, a man, be a bit more magnanimous?” Once dead, all is well, why waste time on so much formalism, unnecessarily.

The result of focusing on formalism is—getting counter-killed, counter-killed, endlessly counter-killed!

”She took your inner core...” Xun Yin blurted out, then halted midway and changed his tone: ”She imprisoned me for so long, what’s wrong with me torturing her? Can’t I vent my anger?”

Chuzheng fell silent for a moment.

She reached out to embrace Xun Yin, patting his back, comforting him, ”Alright, don’t be angry.”

Xun Yin: ”...”

Xun Yin pulled Chuzheng out of the room, pressed her against the wall once they were outside, and kissed her directly.

Chuzheng felt something being pushed into her mouth by his tongue.

Before she could register what it was, it dissolved into a warm current and slid down into her dantian.

Fragments of memories flashed chaotically through her mind.

Those were...

The memories that the original host had lost.

Thirty years ago, when she awoke, many demons had already woken up, causing quite a stir everywhere.

The original host hadn’t had the chance to join them.

She was found by Xiao Yue instead.

Having just awoken and unfamiliar with this world, the original host had no guard up when Xiao Yue suddenly appeared and took her inner core.

Deprived of her inner core, amidst such chaos, Xiao Yue thought she was as good as dead.

So she didn’t even bother to deliver a final blow.

The original host didn’t know who had picked her up—Chuzheng suspected that the demon who had picked up the original host wanted to devour her, but then discovered her inner core was gone—and she was casually thrown somewhere, a place that later collapsed in a fight.

After the great battle ended, the original host lay dormant there.

Until thirty years later, she woke up once more.

This story tells us the importance of delivering the coup de grâce.

These memories passed in a flash, nothing more than a momentary incident.

Chuzheng was pinned by Xun Yin between his arm and the wall, as he kissed her fiercely.

Chuzheng stared at the handsome face so close to hers, hooked her arms around his neck, and completely eliminated the distance between them.
