“Is that all?”
“I say, Nancy, aren't you too useless?”
“Where did that ferocity you used against me go? Why do you become a scared little chick when facing this bastard?”
Just then, Gui Wu, who had been watching the battle from the doorway, taunted her playfully.
Before Nancy had successfully broken through and adapted to her body, the first person to make a move was not Ye Cangtian, but Gui Wu, who had protected her for the past few days.
Gui Wu had bullied her countless times, and she hadn't forgotten.
So, she was determined to settle the score with Gui Wu, and in fact, she had almost made Gui Wu suffer.
Thus, now seeing Nancy outmatched, Gui Wu naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to mock her.
“Gui Wu, stop with your sarcastic remarks, aren't you coming to help me?”
“Don't forget, we had an agreement…”
Hearing Gui Wu's words, Nancy's face instantly turned red, and her lungs felt like they were about to explode with anger.
Hmm?
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian looked at Gui Wu with a hint of confusion and a playful smile on his face.
“You! Don’t talk nonsense!”
“What did I agree with you! I didn’t!”
Feeling Ye Cangtian’s gaze, Gui Wu immediately cut off Nancy's words. It was a joke; Ye Cangtian was so strong, she didn't want to be beaten.
“Gui Wu, you are too despicable, I was truly blind…”
Hearing Gui Wu's words, Nancy suddenly became furious. Her body struggled desperately, trying to break free from the restraints, intending to settle the score with Gui Wu.
However, Ye Cangtian wouldn't let Nancy succeed.
He grinned wickedly and said playfully, “Nancy, before you settle scores with Gui Wu, I advise you to consider yourself first…”
As the voice reached her, Nancy’s body trembled. She seemed to recall something.
The bet had mentioned that there would be a punishment after each failed assassination.
Thinking of this, just as Nancy was about to say something, her body was pinned to the table with great force.
The next moment, she struggled with all her might, unwilling to endure that embarrassing punishment.
Slap!
The next sound came, and Nancy let out a scream. A tearing pain shot from her backside. Her entire face was so red it looked like it would bleed.
Immediately, her pair of bright, lively eyes became incredibly aggrieved, and tears began to fall.
It was one thing to be bullied by Ye Cangtian before; she had been ignorant of her own limitations, always indulging in wishful thinking and believing she could succeed in the assassination.
But she had overlooked the gap between the Profound and Earth tiers, which was essentially an absolute crushing difference.
Now, even as an Earth-tier powerhouse, she still had an insurmountable gap with Ye Cangtian, as if her breakthrough to the Earth tier was meaningless.
After so much effort to finally break through to the Earth tier, it all felt meaningless.
This made her feel incredibly stifled, and finally, it erupted like a mountain flood.
“Ooh ooh ooh, why are you crying?”
“Oh dear, your pretty little face is all tear-stained. Come, sister will wipe it for you.”
“Bastard Ye Cangtian, you really are something, not knowing how to be gentle with a woman.”
Seeing Nancy's tears, Gui Wu immediately teased her, took out tissues, and walked over to help wipe her tears, not forgetting to glare at Ye Cangtian.
“I don’t need your kindness, get lost!”
“I’ll never trust you again…”
Suppressed, Nancy couldn't resist Gui Wu’s tissues, but how could her resentment towards Gui Wu dissipate? She immediately roared.
“Heh, still putting on a brave face at this point? That's not right!”
Gui Wu smiled mischievously and gently poked Nancy's upturned buttocks. Instantly, Nancy let out another tragic cry.
The sword strike Nancy had used to assassinate Ye Cangtian earlier had truly startled him, so Ye Cangtian was also angered. He showed no mercy in punishing Nancy.
Now, with just a gentle poke from Gui Wu, it brought about tearing pain.
“Fine, if you are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous!”
Nancy hated Gui Wu to the bone. She gritted her teeth and looked at Ye Cangtian: “You idiot, don’t be fooled by her. We agreed to act together…”
Gui Wu did not deny it, nodding, “That’s right, we did say that, but do you want to know why?”
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian couldn't help but be taken aback. Of course, he wanted to know why.
Soon, Gui Wu sighed and revealed everything.
She and Nancy were once the proud daughters of their respective factions. It could be said that their current plight was all caused by Ye Cangtian.
When they encountered Ye Cangtian during a mission, no matter what the mission was, they always failed, while Ye Cangtian repeatedly succeeded and went smoothly.
Over time, their status became lower and lower, and they were increasingly questioned.
Finally, being instigated by others, they completely lost trust and became cannon fodder, abandoned…
But that wasn't the end. After being abandoned, they were also noticed by Ye Cangtian, who painstakingly subdued them.
Ultimately, they had to be used by their former enemy, which was truly stifling. How could they not harbor some resentment towards Ye Cangtian in their hearts?
Nancy used this reason to successfully persuade Gui Wu. Regardless of success or failure, they had to make a move against Ye Cangtian, just to vent their frustrations…
“Oh…”
Ye Cangtian finally understood and then looked at Gui Wu curiously, asking, “Since you agreed to it, why didn’t you act?”
Did this need asking!
Gui Wu widened her eyes, feeling disdainful in her heart, but on the surface, she said with a smile, “Although I find you somewhat displeasing and have some grievances against you, you’ve been treating me quite well these days. Let’s let bygones be bygones…”
“Pah!”
“Gui Wu, you are shameless! How can you say such a thing!”
“You clearly saw how powerful he is, and got scared yourself!”
Nancy finally couldn't stand it anymore, saying loudly with contempt.
“Little sister, don't speak carelessly…”
Hearing Nancy’s words, Gui Wu smiled wickedly and raised a slender finger again. Instantly, Nancy’s voice was cut off.
It was a joke; she didn’t want to suffer again.
Seeing this, Gui Wu smiled triumphantly.
Then she glanced at Ye Cangtian, her expression becoming serious. She said, “Aren’t you going to let her go? She just wanted to vent. Now that she’s vented, she should be obedient from now on.”
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian glanced at Nancy and said, “Nancy, what do you say?”
“What else can I say!”
“Since you are strong, I’ll follow you and enjoy the good life!”
“Unlike some people, who are willing to risk their lives for you but dare not admit it!”
Nancy spoke unhappily, glaring fiercely at Ye Cangtian at the same time.
After reaching the Earth tier, Nancy had figured out many things.
Interacting with Ye Cangtian these days, along with the favor of that Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir, she knew she could never truly be an enemy of Ye Cangtian in her lifetime.
The key point was that she could no longer return to the Guangming Hall.
In the Guangming Hall, petty people were in power, and with just her word, it was always difficult to prove her innocence. So, after much deliberation, she decided to follow Ye Cangtian.
However, as Gui Wu had said, she still had grievances in her heart that needed to be vented.
This led to the current scene.
Uh…
Hearing Nancy’s words, Ye Cangtian was stunned. It felt like happiness had come too suddenly, making him somewhat disbelieving.
After a moment, Ye Cangtian said in a deep voice, “Nancy, you can refuse me, but I hope you won’t lie to me!”
“What I said is the truth. I can serve you, but I have one condition!”
Nancy glared at Ye Cangtian and, before he could ask, immediately said, “After all, I come from the Guangming Hall. No matter when, you cannot force me to take action against the Guangming Hall!”
“Of course, I also guarantee that I will completely cut off contact with the Guangming Hall and will not betray you!”
“Alright! I promise you!”
This time, Ye Cangtian heard clearly and agreed without any hesitation.
As he spoke, he took out some medicine and threw it to Nancy, while signaling Gui Wu to apply medicine to Nancy, both internally and externally, so that the wound could heal faster.
Gui Wu nodded upon seeing this, then helped Nancy back into the room.
Only now did Ye Cangtian show a satisfied smile on his face.
