Let's Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 91: The Pinnacle of the Demon Realm (26)
Chuzheng suddenly extended her arms to embrace him, and the boy, as if receiving a response, showed a trace of joy. However, that joy froze on his face the next second.

He slowly leaned on Chuzheng’s shoulder, and his whole being quieted down.

Chuzheng took a breath and began to swim toward the surface with him.

When they surfaced, the light was brighter, and Chuzheng could clearly see their current location.

This was a cave, with luxuriant plants growing on the walls, plants that glowed like stars, scattered throughout the entire cave, illuminating it.

Chuzheng dragged Li Tang onto the shallows and sat down beside him, resting her hands on her knees. Water dripped from her fingertips into the water, making a faint sound.

The moisture on her body evaporated at a visible rate.

After a while, Chuzheng touched her lips and then gently pursed them. She turned her head to look at Li Tang, suddenly flipped over, and braced her hands on either side of him.

She leaned down and kissed him, their soft lips meeting, their breaths mingling.

Chuzheng’s tongue licked Li Tang’s lips, they were a bit soft, but not sweet.

Chuzheng bit him several times, something seemed to flicker in her eyes, and yet it seemed nothing was there, still that cold, aloof look that kept others at a distance.

She let go of Li Tang and sat back down, her fingers brushing over him. Li Tang’s wet clothes dried instantly.

Chuzheng hugged her knees, her fingertips lightly touching the water’s surface, creating ripples. The scene in the ripples shattered.

How did she fall into this place?

At that time, it seemed as if something in the sky had torn the space apart, sucking her and Li Tang inside.

And then she just kept sinking…

Whether they were still at Ziyun Sect or not, Chuzheng wasn’t sure.

But this place was certainly not where they had been fighting.

Perhaps those demonic qi had caused a distortion in space and brought them here.

“Miss, he’s transformed into his darker self,” King’s Account said.

Chuzheng withdrew her hand and looked back at Li Tang.

Those damn things blackened the Good Person Card, but that’s not my fault, don’t blame me.

“No matter who did it, he has darkened now,” King’s Account continued.

So, does that mean I can handle this weakling now?

“…” Miss, you just kissed him! Why can you suddenly talk like this! Are you a beast?

Chuzheng, the Beast: “I’m asking you a question.”

“Miss, I think you still can be redeemed,” King’s Account hastily said.

Chuzheng picked up a stone and threw it into the water. The stone bounced several times on the water’s surface before sinking.

“I think you need redeeming too,” her voice followed.

“…” It doesn’t need redeeming, it’s fine, Miss is scaring it, it clings to its small tail.

–

Chuzheng circled around inside the cave. The cave had only one exit, but there were many passages outside, leading to unknown places.

She didn’t go far before returning the same way.

A fire burn next to the water, but the person lying on the ground had disappeared.

Chuzheng took two steps forward. A wind swept by, and she suddenly moved aside as the next second her wrist was grabbed, and she fell into a fiery embrace.

Li Tang pressed her onto the vine-covered edge of the cave, and the light sources suddenly soared upward, flying into the distance.

Those lights turned out to be little bugs.

Li Tang’s face loomed closer, his eyes showing a hint of red light: “Where did you go just now?”

Chuzheng struggled to free herself: “Where I go is none of your business.”

“You want to leave me?”

“…” Chuzheng gave him a strange look, about to call him crazy, when King’s Account sent over a strategy.

She coldly recited the line: “I was just checking out the exit.”

“Miss, you mustn’t provoke him, he can’t be agitated, understand?” King’s Account was extremely worried.

Chuzheng: “…” I can’t be agitated now either, or else I might actually deal with him.

Li Tang stared at her for a few seconds, then slowly released his hand and held her in his arms. He didn’t speak, just held her.

Chuzheng leaned on his shoulder, but her gaze fell on the tiny insects that had scattered in alarm just moments before.

They lingered not far away, and more of the little insects from the surrounding plants on the mountain walls were converging towards them, the swarm growing larger and larger.

“Hey,” Chuzheng nudged him.

“I want to hug you.”

“Hug what, something’s coming.”

Right as Chuzheng finished speaking, the swarm of insects that had gathered into a light group suddenly rushed towards them.

“Buzz buzz buzz…”

Li Tang pulled Chuzheng behind him and turned to face the swarm of insects.

Disturbed, a surge of malice grew in the depths of Li Tang’s heart, and with a raise of his hand, he sent a blast of Demonic Qi towards them.

However, to everyone’s surprise, the swarm of insects wasn’t fearful of the Demonic Qi; instead, they pounced on it and devoured the energy completely.

Li Tang frowned and pulled Chuzheng backward.

The insects, having gotten a taste, seemed eager for more.

Chuzheng grabbed Li Tang and squeezed back towards the way she had come.

Li Tang followed her instinctively as they ran. The cave was dark, and he couldn’t see the person in front of him, but he could feel the warmth coming from her palm.

A particularly strong desire welled up from the depths of Li Tang’s heart, and he clenched his fist, suppressing that desire. He couldn’t let it control him, he couldn’t…

The cave twisted and turned, and at first, they could still hear the insects flapping their wings, but gradually the sound faded away.

Chuzheng stopped, and Li Tang, not paying attention, ran into her from behind and wrapped his arms around her.

Only then did Chuzheng realize that the boy, who had been about her height when they first met, was now significantly taller than her.

This body of hers had stopped growing!

Chuzheng listened for a moment, there was no movement behind them; the insects must have not followed.

She tried to pull away Li Tang’s hands, but he held on tightly.

Chuzheng: “How am I supposed to move with you like this?”

“I’ll carry you,” Li Tang’s voice fell into her ear, and the next second, she was swept up in his arms.

Chuzheng: “…”

Fine!

If you want to carry, then carry me!

She was too lazy to walk anyway.

Chuzheng wrapped her arms around his neck: “I only got this far. I don’t know where the exit is, just go wherever.”

Li Tang seemed pleased by Chuzheng’s action, his voice lighter: “Okay.”

Chuzheng leaned against Li Tang, wondering about those insects from before.

She wanted to wait until Li Tang spoke before she would respond. But Li Tang was completely silent, seemingly uninterested in discussing the earlier insects.

Chuzheng: “…” No, she couldn’t speak first. They were just insects! What was there to be curious about? She wasn’t curious at all!

Chuzheng’s fingertip touched Li Tang’s shoulder, feeling some wetness. She rolled her fingertip over it, and the dampness intensified.

“Stop.”

Li Tang halted, looking down at her.

“Are you hurt?”

“Yeah.” Li Tang kept walking forward: “It’s nothing.”

“Oh.”

Chuzheng wiped the blood off her finger and directed him: “Then carry me in a different way, there’s blood.”

Li Tang set her down and picked her up in a different position.

[…] There are too many flaws; I don’t even know where to begin criticizing.

When this young lady goes crazy, not even eight horses can catch up with her.

Not only does she not care that he’s hurt, but she also has the nerve to ask him to carry her differently??

Carry! Her! In! A! Different! Way!

Is she a demon?
