Chapter 249: Wu Ye (1)
The woman nodded gently, a kind smile playing on her lips. "Yes, that was me."
<<Wu Ye>> (I will post pic later)
"You're actually from the Nine Heavens?" Wu Ye asked excitedly, taking Chen Tian by surprise.
The term Nine Heavens was something that even people in the mortal realms had never heard of, so it was shocking to hear someone mention it.
Chen Tian instantly knew that the woman in front of him was not an ordinary person, but he still acted as if he didn't know.
"What do you mean by the Nine Heavens?" Chen Tian asked, trying to hide his curiosity about the woman's identity.
"This woman gives me a weird feeling; not only that, but the wings on her back—I've seen something familiar before," Chen Tian thought to himself. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but there was something strange and unfamiliar about her.
Her mention of the Nine Heavens only added to his confusion.
Who was she? If she were from the Nine Heavens, what is she doing in this mortal world?
Despite his curiosity, he decided to play it cool and pretend not to know anything.
"Humph, don't lie to me. I know you're not ordinary," Wu Ye snorted as she stared at Chen Tian with narrowed eyes. "I've seen what you did while fighting that tree; there's no way you're just an ordinary person."
Wu Ye crossed her arms with a skeptical expression on her face. "Not to mention that thing that made me retreat." She said in her heart still lingering a slight fear about what happened last time.
Chen Tian could feel her piercing gaze, making him slightly uncomfortable.
Chen Tian really had to admit that the woman in front of him was a beauty. Her sharp features, flawless complexion, and piercing violet eyes were captivating.
Despite her skepticism, he couldn't help but be drawn to her undeniable allure.
"Hmph, let's see if I don't make you confess," Wu Ye said with a smirk, her voice dripping with confidence. "I have my ways of getting the truth out of people, and you won't be an exception."
Chen Tian gulped nervously.
"Sh*t, my body is still in pain, and even if I could move, this woman would definitely stop me before I even had a chance to escape," he thought to himself.
Chen Tian knew he was in a sticky situation, he was trapped.
"What do you want?" Chen Tian asked, his voice trembling slightly.
"Hehe, so you don't want to play the 'I don't know' thing, huh?" Wu Ye chuckled, her eyes filled with amusement.
"Well, that's too bad; I had many ways planned to make you talk. But since you asked, I simply want your help with something," Wu Ye replied, her voice oozing with satisfaction.
Chen Tian narrowed his eyes, studying Wu Ye's expression. He couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. "And what makes you think I would help you?" Chen Tian questioned, his voice filled with defiance.
Wu Ye's smile widened, revealing a glint of confidence.
"Because, my dear… What is your name?" Wu Ye asked, her voice dripping with intrigue. Chen Tian hesitated for a moment. "Chen Tian," he finally replied, his voice laced with caution.
Wu Ye nodded, as if she had expected that response. "Well, Chen Tian, if you don't help me, I will eliminate you right now," she replied cryptically as a cold aura surrounded her.
From this aura, Chen Tian felt as though he were trapped in an icy prison, his breath turning to frost before his eyes.
He gulped, the weight of the situation sinking in. Wu Ye's words echoed in his mind, and he realized that he had no choice but to comply if he wanted to survive.
Chen Tian's unease deepened as he realized the gravity of the situation.
His heart skipped a beat as he processed Wu Ye's chilling words.
The air grew heavy with tension, and Chen Tian's sense of unease intensified. He could feel his palms becoming warm and his mind racing to find a way out of this dangerous situation.
The choice before him seemed impossible: "This woman is definitely planning on killing me if I don't assist her."
"Ha-haha, Miss, maybe I can help you reconsider your decision." Chen Tian stammered nervously, trying to reduce the tension.
However, Wu Ye's expression remained cold and unwavering. "I have no need to reconsider my decision," she retorted sharply, her eyes piercing through Chen Tian.
The room fell silent as the aura pressing on Chen Tian grew more suffocating, leaving him with a sinking feeling that there was no escaping this predicament with his life intact.
"F*ck this, let's just see what her request is," he thought to himself, desperately searching for a way out of the situation.
"F-Fine, I will consider, can I at least hear what your request is?" Chen Tian stammered, his voice trembling.
Wu Ye's cold expression softened slightly, and her aura retracted, making Chen Tian feel better. As Wu Ye leaned back on a chair that was next to the bed, her eyes still fixed on him. "My request is simple," she said calmly, her tone sending shivers down Chen Tian's spine.
"I want you to…"
"To?"
"I want you to help me create a new body." Chen Tian's eyes widened in disbelief as he processed Wu Ye's request.
Create a new body. The words echoed in his mind, leaving him both intrigued and terrified.
"Chaos Insight!"
Without hesitation, he used Chaos Insight on Wu Ye's body as information popped up in front of him.
"What is going on?" Chen Tian exclaimed, his voice trembling with shock; the information before him was too overwhelming to process.
Wu Ye narrowed her eyes as she felt that all her secrets were unveiled, as if Chen Tian's gaze pierced her soul.
"How dare you!" She roared in anger, her voice reverberating through the room.
"BOOOMM!"
Her aura exploded, causing the surrounding furniture to shatter into pieces. Chen Tian was blown backward by the force of her aura and slammed against the room wall.
"Cough!" "Cough!" He coughed blood as he struggled to regain his composure. The realization hit him like a ton of bricks.
"Sh*t, even the aura of a 1st Stage Dao Ancestor Realm can make me this injured," he thought to himself.
He shouldn't have used his Chaos Insight on her; because of how high her cultivation was, she was able to catch that someone was using a technique to look deeper into her body.
He was paying the price. As he tried to stand up, his legs felt weak and shaky, unable to support his weight.
The room was filled with tension as both of them locked eyes.
As he looked up at her, he could see the fury in her eyes. He knew that he had made a mistake.
