Chapter 499: Scumbag
Chapter 499: Trash Fish
Zhang Chi appeared relaxed, as if he had nothing to fear.
Even though Hong Li suspected that Gu Youyou might be in trouble, she couldn't guarantee that Gu Youyou wouldn't come out and attack her.
The main theme was to be fierce on the outside but timid on the inside.
Ao Long could see through Hong Li's guilty appearance, and she couldn't help but inwardly criticize her.
Ao Long had witnessed Hong Li's arrogance after her Dragon Transformation, floating around as if she were invincible.
Indeed, their strength had greatly increased, and they should be invincible at the same level, and even capable of fighting across realms. But Hong Li had completely inflated herself to the point of thinking she was invincible in the world.
At that time, she had been full of confidence and wanted to seek revenge on Zhang Chi, but no one could stop her.
And what was the result?
Zhang Chi had actually appeared before them, but Hong Li was already panicking.
Her legs were trembling!
To be honest, the abilities in this place were restricted, and they could only exert the strength of the Divine Ability Realm. Even if Zhang Chi had the bloodline of the Demon Race, so what? They still couldn't defeat him, could they?
One against one, two people together, they should be able to win. After all, they had obtained the bloodline of the Ancestral Dragon!
Ao Long had never expected that Hong Li would become so timid.
She didn't understand the extent of Hong Li's psychological trauma, but when facing Zhang Chi, Ao Long wasn't particularly afraid.
However, her favorable impression of Zhang Chi was not low.
This was also the Stockholm effect. Zhang Chi had indeed captured Ao Long and restricted her freedom, but afterwards, he treated her well and didn't do anything excessive when he captured her.
As a result, Zhang Chi naturally gained Ao Long's favor. Therefore, when Hong Li proposed seeking revenge on Zhang Chi, Ao Long directly and clearly refused.
If it weren't for a considerable level of favorability, she would at most remain neutral and not take a stance.
Now that Hong Li herself was scared, there was naturally no need for Ao Long to be enemies with Zhang Chi.
Facing Zhang Chi's questioning, Ao Long said, "I have freed myself from bondage and naturally don't want to be enslaved again, but I don't have much grudge against you and don't want to be your enemy."
Ao Long's words were sincere, and since Zhang Chi appeared, she hadn't shown any obvious hostility.
It could be seen that she was telling the truth.
Zhang Chi guessed Ao Long's thoughts and naturally became more relaxed.
However, if he let Ao Long go so easily, Hong Li would definitely be suspicious.
Despite Hong Li already having a psychological trauma towards him, this cunning little demoness was very sharp-minded. Once she sensed something was wrong, she would probably rebel immediately.
Judging from her actions, she clearly had the intention to escape.
That's right, on the surface, Hong Li seemed ready to fight Zhang Chi, but in reality, she was already prepared to run away.
As long as Zhang Chi showed dominance and fought her, she would definitely run.
As long as the green hills remain, there will be firewood to burn. She had already undergone Dragon Transformation. If she didn't grow up and was beaten to death by Zhang Chi, how pitiful would that be?
Revenge is a dish best served cold.
If we can't win, we can run!
She was already planning to run, but she didn't escape decisively, which meant she still had doubts in her heart.
In any case, Zhang Chi couldn't show any flaws.
Once he revealed a flaw, there was a high probability that Hong Li would kill him.
"We didn't have any deep grudges in the past. You ended up in my hands, and it can only be blamed on your bad luck. Now that you have broken free from the demonic seal, it can be considered your good luck.
In that case, our grievances can naturally be settled."
Upon hearing Zhang Chi's words, Hong Li immediately felt more confident. The Demon Race that possessed Zhang Chi must have encountered some problem, otherwise why would Zhang Chi compromise like this?
Since that's the case, she could easily take down Zhang Chi.
She couldn't defeat a powerful Demon Race, so how could she not defeat Zhang Chi?
However, as soon as this idea came to her mind, she heard Zhang Chi say, "Let's forget about the past. The fact remains that you consumed my Blood Dragon Vine. Give me the medicinal power of the Blood Dragon Vine, and I will spare you."
What does it mean to be "piao"?
This is what it means to be "piao" - Zhang Chi.
Earlier, Zhang Chi mentioned that his body couldn't handle the powerful medicinal power of the Blood Dragon Vine, so he needed to use a milder method.
This explains why he hid earlier and let Hong Li and Ao Long consume the treasure.
The effect of this treasure is indeed very strong, and both of them could tell.
Now, Zhang Chi wants to retrieve the medicinal power of the Blood Dragon Vine. Those who understand know how he plans to retrieve it.
Ao Long's face was already red, but now she was even more embarrassed.
"This won't do... I can just let you drink my blood!"
She would never agree to this, especially in front of Hong Li.
After all, she had gone through hardships and finally became a dragon. How could she just give herself up to someone's threat?
As for her resistance, Zhang Chi didn't care.
"Since you're unwilling, then we'll use another method. Transfer the medicinal power within you to Hong Li, and then let her give it to me."
"You wish!"
Hong Li immediately became furious.
She hadn't given up yet!
Moreover, Zhang Chi's words were too much, as if he didn't care about her at all!
Did she become a dragon just to be used as a tool by Zhang Chi?
Wouldn't that be a waste of her dragon status?
Hong Li didn't dare to continue fighting. She was afraid that Ao Long, the sixth sister, would directly capture her to protect herself.
At that time, she wouldn't have the ability to escape from the hands of Ao Long and Zhang Chi.
So, without waiting for Zhang Chi and Ao Long to react, Hong Li swiftly turned into a red shadow and quickly disappeared.
Her Divine Ability, "Leisurely Traveling," evolved into "Dragon Traveling through the Void" after she transformed into a dragon.
This was a legitimate spatial traversal Divine Ability, specializing in speed.
As long as she wasn't controlled or disturbed by others, she could retreat calmly.
After thinking it over, she decided to give up this opportunity to catch Zhang Chi.
Be more cautious, don't rush in. After leaving this Secret Realm, find a place to cultivate and become strong enough to ignore Zhang Chi's threats before seeking revenge.
If all else fails, she'll wait for Zhang Chi to die of old age!
The lifespan of Monster Race is much longer than that of humans. Unless Zhang Chi becomes an immortal through cultivation, she will definitely live longer!
Regardless, she won!
Seeing how decisively Hong Li ran away, Zhang Chi couldn't help but smile.
He knew that pretending and acting tough wouldn't work on Hong Li. Scaring her away was considered a success.
Moreover, after Hong Li ran away, she wouldn't ally with Ao Long anymore, let alone join forces with Ao Long to deal with him.
This plan was an obvious scheme to sow discord.
Indeed, Ao Long was very disappointed in Hong Li. She thought that they had gone through so much together and were comrades.
Moreover, Hong Li had just confessed her feelings for her, but when danger came, she didn't care about her and ran away, leaving her alone to face Zhang Chi.
Could she really beat Zhang Chi?
And she exposed her beauty in front of Zhang Chi, wouldn't she be harmed by him?
Can't Hong Li see these obvious things?
She definitely can see, she just doesn't care.
And yet he dares to say he likes her? He's just attracted to her beauty and desires her body.
What a scumbag!
Ao Long was filled with anger, in her eyes, Hong Li was much worse than Zhang Chi!
At least Zhang Chi's actions can be considered righteous and just, but Hong Li is truly heartless!
Actually, Ao Long misunderstood. Hong Li is not as heartless as she imagines, she is just afraid.
Hong Li cannot understand Zhang Chi's inexplicable attraction to women, she doesn't understand why he is so likable and why she loves him uncontrollably.
This is outrageous!
And Hong Li is worried that Ao Long will also fall for him. Remember, Ao Long clearly stated before that she didn't want to be enemies with Zhang Chi.
Wow, she's already willing to be his servant, but she doesn't even think about revenge?
Plus, when Zhang Chi made that rude request earlier, Ao Long blushed and felt shy instead of getting angry.
What does this signal mean?
Hong Li can't stay here any longer.
She's afraid that Ao Long, with her impulsive nature, will follow Zhang Chi and insist on capturing her. Ao Long has done this kind of thing before.
Since she can't fully trust Ao Long, it's better to leave early.
As for whether Zhang Chi will forcefully bully Ao Long, Hong Li cannot be sure.
Just the thought of it makes her heart ache.
Zhang Chi might kiss Ao Long's small lips, grip her slender waist, and have control over her ample...
The more Hong Li thinks about it, the more her mentality collapses.
This is the fatal flaw of indulging in imagination.
The scenarios she imagines are much more exciting than what actually happens.
Should she investigate? Zhang Chi has actually been hesitating all along.
What Hong Li can see, of course he can see too.
Ao Long may seem tough, but she actually has a soft personality.
Zhang Chi can take advantage of this and take her down.
While seizing the Dragon's Blood, he can also subdue Ao Long.
Ao Long is easy to handle, Zhang Chi is confident in himself.
But right now, he really doesn't have the mood for it.
All his teammates have disappeared, Gu Youyou is also gone. This place may seem peaceful, but it's actually full of danger.
In this situation, he still wants to be a champion? It's a bit inappropriate.
Good things come to those who wait, he doesn't need to rely on his innate abilities to bind his teammates.
"She ran away, are you going to run too?"
"Can I escape?"
Ao Long seemed to see her own fate. Hong Li ran away, Zhang Chi can only catch her, and he will definitely do all sorts of things to her. The more she thinks about it, the hotter her body feels.
"Don't be too nervous, consider the Crimson Blood Dragon Vine as my gift to you. But, from now on, you will be my bodyguard."
"Huh?"
"Hong Li guessed right, the Demon Race that possessed me has encountered some problems. Unless it's a life or death situation, she won't appear."
"Just now, if Hong Li hadn't run, it would have been me running!" Zhang Chi said with a frightened look.
Appropriately showing her vulnerability would also make Ao Long let down her guard.
Not only that, but Zhang Chi's trust in her also made Ao Long feel a little closer to Zhang Chi.
"If you say that now, aren't you afraid that I'll take advantage of the situation?"
"I believe you won't."
Zhang Chi said calmly, and these words struck a chord with Ao Long.
With these words, Zhang Chi had already convinced Ao Long to do anything.
"There are many dangers in the Secret Realm, so let's travel together temporarily!"
Ao Long proudly stated that she would only travel temporarily, and Zhang Chi nodded, saying, "You should rest, although you are indeed stunning, I am more concerned about your well-being."
While praising Ao Long's beauty, Zhang Chi's compliment made Ao Long feel more comfortable.
Because Zhang Chi's focus was on her well-being, he casually mentioned her beauty, while Hong Li was purely attracted by her appearance.
Ao Long nodded shyly, sat down where she was, and began to adjust the medicine in her body, while Zhang Chi set up a sword formation nearby to guard.
In theory, his sword formation was of no use. If there were real enemies, Ao Long would have to personally take action.
But Ao Long, who was being protected, didn't think Zhang Chi was being fake. Instead, she felt a sense of security being protected.
An hour passed, and Ao Long recovered as usual. At the same time, she felt that her strength had improved a lot.
The medicinal effect of the Red Blood Dragon Vine was really strong.
"Let's go, let's go find the others."
Zhang Chi naturally reached out his hand to help her up.
In fact, Ao Long could stand up on her own, but Zhang Chi deliberately created a condition for her to choose.
It seemed like a choice, but in reality, Ao Long had no choice.
If she refused, it would be like slapping Zhang Chi in the face. Given the current atmosphere, she definitely wouldn't make things so awkward.
So the only option left for her was to accept. Even if she had some resistance in her heart, she would still hold Zhang Chi's hand. After the first physical contact, there would naturally be more physical contact, and with more physical contact, their relationship would naturally become closer.
Zhang Chi was quietly winning people over.
Ao Long blushed slightly and, as Zhang Chi expected, handed her soft little hand to Zhang Chi.
Hand in hand, success.
After Zhang Chi held Ao Long's hand, he didn't hold it for too long. He naturally let go and asked, "Which direction did you come from? Did you encounter any dangers along the way?"
Ao Long pointed in a direction and said, "We didn't encounter any dangers, but when we first arrived in this Secret Realm, there was a place nearby that felt very dangerous, so we didn't stay and started exploring after moving away from there."
"Oh? What does it look like there?"
"It's a huge pit, I don't know how wide or deep it is. There is ominous blood mist everywhere, which is very creepy."
In fact, Ao Long didn't observe much because her fear was too strong, so she subconsciously didn't dare to look too much.
"Also, that blood mist seemed alive. I saw countless creatures inside, but Hong Li didn't see them."
When Ao Long talked about this, she was still very scared. Zhang Chi once again held her hand firmly and said, "Don't be afraid, it's safe here."
With Zhang Chi's grip, Ao Long felt more at ease.
And this time, Zhang Chi didn't let go. Ao Long also felt more secure holding onto Zhang Chi. The distance between them became closer.
Zhang Chi was secretly calculating that the place Ao Long mentioned was probably the Blood Battlefield, or it could be where Gu Youyou was hiding.
It seems that his previous speculation was correct.
It's possible that those who entered the Secret Realm initially appeared in the huge pit, so they didn't know that outside the pit, there was a vast treasure land...
