What Do You Call a Benevolent and Reasonable Person in Xianxia? An Imp

Yun Ying's actions were too quick, and by the time Yao Chen reacted, Xiao Yan had already collapsed on the ground.

"What did you do to him?!" Yao Chen's exquisite face twisted in anger, and for the first time since waking up, she roared. She rushed to Xiao Yan's side and urgently examined him, placing her jade-like hand on his chest.

After a while, Yao Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Steady breathing, normal heartbeat, no damage to internal organs, he had merely fainted.

"You care about him quite a bit," Yun Ying commented, lightly pinching her chin, and said in a calm tone, "Don't worry, it's rare to find such an interesting young man. I don't want to simply destroy him. I just erased my memories from his mind."

"Erased his memories?!" Yao Chen's heart trembled, and she stared at Yun Ying in disbelief.

Memories were deeply attached to the soul, and it was impossible to simply erase them, especially considering Yun Ying had only mentioned erasing her memories.

No! It couldn't be!

This level of finesse was beyond anyone Yao Chen knew!

Wait... Yao Chen suddenly thought of something, and her gaze gradually darkened.

Those people might be able to do it...

Thinking of this, coupled with Yun Ying's previous words, Yao Chen began to have a deep suspicion about Yun Ying's identity.

Could this woman be...

Yao Chen had a guess about Yun Ying's true identity, Yun Yin then lightly glanced at Yao Chen and said, "I considered erasing your memories as well, but you're a mid-heavenly soul state, so it wasn't as easy as erasing his."

"Don't mention my existence to him, not even a single word. If he finds out about this encounter, my interest will disappear."

"By then, you won't be necessary."

Yun Ying's words were calm but extremely cold, and she threatened Yao Chen in this manner. Then, she waved her hand to put the necklace back around Xiao Yan's neck. She looked at Yao Chen and said, "I never intended to erase your memories completely, but only from him."

"You are letting us go? Just like that?" Yao Chen tightly furrowed her brows, her eyes filled with deep suspicion.

What did this woman want?

At this moment, Xiao Yan, who was lying on the ground, slowly opened his eyes, clutching his head and sitting up. His eyes were filled with confusion.

"I... passed out?"

"Yeah." Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Yao Chen softly replied, "You fainted due to exhaustion after using the Flame Splitting Tsunami."

"I see... I guess I shouldn't use that move casually..."

Xiao Yan muttered to himself without any doubt about Yao Chen's words. He behaved as if he didn't even realize what had just happened

However, Yao Chen's eyes were filled with deep apprehension.

That girl, Yun Ying, had truly erased Xiao Yan memories regarding her.

Although Yao Chen had deep suspicions about Yun Ying's true identity, she had to follow Yun Ying's orders for now. If it were only herself, Yao Chen wouldn't allow herself to be manipulated in such a way, even if it would end up with her death.

But there was Xiao Yan, who was going to be implicated if she were to do so.

Yao Chen could give up her own life, but she absolutely couldn't accept anything happening to Xiao Yan.

Absolutely not...

"Oh, right!" Suddenly, Xiao Yan snapped back to attention and stood up abruptly. His face was filled with urgency. "We need to hurry and save Boss Yao!"

On the mountain near the Wolf Head Mercenary Company's fortress, Yun Ying watched Xiao Yan, who was rushing toward the fortress with Yao Chen following closely behind.

She sat on the edge of the cliff, one leg crossed over the other, her arm supporting her head, and her hand shading her eyes. She swayed one long leg back and forth.

"So, let me see just how interesting you, young man, can be~"

Yun Ying chuckled softly, then turned slightly to look at the black-clad figure kneeling behind her.

"It's quite a spectacle to have an eight-star Dou Huang (Battle Emperor, 7th Level) as a bodyguard in the small Jia Ma Empire. It seems that the young man has many more secrets than I've seen," Yun Ying said softly, a hint of displeasure showing on her face. "And I don't know if it's my imagination, but I always feel that you carry his aura. It's quite annoying."

At this moment, the black-clad figure kneeling on the ground, named Ling Ying, was filled with fear, and his black robe had been soaked with cold sweat.

He had been tasked with protecting Xiao Yan.

Just moments ago, he had seen Xiao Yan facing three Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level)s alone, ready to rescue him at any moment.

However, in the next moment, he was horrified to discover that he couldn't move at all.

There was someone much stronger here!

Ling Ying immediately came to this conclusion, but he couldn't even free himself from the invisible restraints, let alone take his own life.

After witnessing Xiao Yan's annihilation of the three Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level)s, Ling Ying's heart had just begun to relax when he saw a woman with the strength of a nine-star Dou Huang (Battle Emperor, 7th Level) appear in the fortress.

However, Ling Ying was still unable to move and could only watch the interaction between the woman and Xiao Yan.

When he saw Xiao Yan fall to the ground, Ling Ying's heart sank.

Then, the woman disappeared and appeared right in front of him, saying those words.

Ling Ying could clearly feel that Yun Ying was undoubtedly a nine-star Dou Huang (Battle Emperor, 7th Level).

But deep inside, alarms were ringing in his heart! She was definitely more than just a nine-star Dou Huang (Battle Emperor, 7th Level)!

And now, the fact that he couldn't move at all, it was undoubtedly due to her!

Yun Ying slowly stood up from the edge of the cliff and walked to where Ling Ying was. She leaned down and sniffed him.

But Ling Ying didn't feel any excitement at the sight of such a beautiful woman smelling him. His fear only grew stronger.

The reason was simple. This beautiful woman could take his life at any moment!

"Oh, it's just as I thought," Yun Ying said after a while, her crimson eyes showing a hint of realization. Her gaze suddenly turned extremely hostile. "You're one of Gu Yuan's subordinates, aren't you?"

Yun Ying's words made Ling Ying's heart race even faster!

Who was this woman after all?! She actually knew the clan leader?!

"It turns out that the young man is a descendant of Xiao Xuan," Yun Ying said, elegantly turning away and looking down at the fortress from a high vantage point. Her lips curled up in a mocking smile. "A thousand years ago, he called himself a friend of Xiao Xuan, but when it came to a critical moment, he turned into a turtle hiding in its shell. Now, he pretends to be nice by sending a small Dou Huang (Battle Emperor, 7th Level) to protect the Xiao clan's descendants. People can be hypocritical to such an extent.."

With that, Yun Ying didn't even look back at Ling Ying as she pointed her finger at him. Her words were filled with a sinister chill.

"Although I'd love to make you, this little Dou Huang (Battle Emperor, 7th Level), disappear forever, you're lucky. I'm interested in that young man. If I were to erase you like this, Gu Yuan would send someone else when he notices something is wrong. It would never end."

As she spoke, a dark light suddenly shot into Ling Ying's mind.

"As the price for staying alive, hand over your memories about me."

This was the last sentence Ling Ying heard before losing consciousness.
