Chapter 83: It was time to end the farce.

“If you have the guts, drop your superpower defense and take my grenade head-on with your body; if you survive, I’ll leave right now and never bother you again!”

Shen Yi spoke in an indifferent voice.

He was not angered at all by Murong Xue’s insults.

After all, he had no idea what Murong Xue’s trump cards were, so he would never foolishly rush out for a frontal clash.

Besides, the white fox that lay motionless on the sofa kept Shen Yi cautious at every moment.

If he showed off and ended up crashing, that would be truly brainless.

“Shameless!!”

Murong Xue’s face turned ashen, obviously from overusing her superpower.

Yet she knew in her heart that Shen Yi was right.

This was not some children’s game; if Shen Yi really came out to fight her head-on, that would be the stupid move.

Murong Xue had been trying to provoke Shen Yi so he would expose a weakness.

Unfortunately, the guy was extremely alert; every time he threw something he teleported far away, making it impossible for her to lock onto his position.

If she could lock onto Shen Yi’s location, she would not have been this passive!

“I’ll give you one more chance to think; if you still refuse to compromise, I might throw a grenade next time.”

Shen Yi issued his warning once more.

As for why he did not use a pistol for a sneak attack, the reason was simple: firing a gun required aiming, and that meant a few seconds of delay.

If Murong Xue caught him during that delay, he would be in danger.

There was no need to take a risk that lasted several seconds!

By comparison, the current method of ambush was much safer.

He could exit the battlefield in an instant, leaving no worries behind.

Even if the ambush failed, it did not matter.

As long as he kept Murong Xue in a state of constant tension, forcing her to use her superpower without pause, that was enough.

At that moment, when she heard Shen Yi’s warning, the already-tense Murong Xue clutched her crossbow even tighter.

Sweat covered her face, her complexion was paper-white, yet her eyes were still as sharp as blades.

She resembled a wolf poised to spring, ready to bite Shen Yi at any moment!

This woman’s willpower was terrifyingly strong!!

She truly deserved the title of Reincarnator.

Even Shen Yi had to marvel at Murong Xue’s toughness.

Both her body and her mind were astonishingly strong.

Had it been an ordinary person, they would have compromised long ago in such a desperate situation.

Yet Murong Xue still held on.

Her mind was clearly at the brink, but she still preferred death to submission!

What a heroic woman!

“Good thing I’m not a decent man, or I might hesitate to act.”

Shen Yi murmured under his breath.

He had always been decisive; once he made a decision, he carried it through to the end.

Changing orders halfway would only ruin things.

Since he had already offended Murong Xue to the bone, reconciliation was impossible.

Either she compromised today, or he would finish her off today!

Otherwise, if Murong Xue left with hatred, she would become endless trouble in the future.

Even his own family might end up in danger!

Through Telepathy, Shen Yi clearly saw that the aura flowing from Murong Xue’s entire body was pure black!

That intense hostility and killing intent meant that, given the slightest chance, she would fight him to the death!

For that very reason, Shen Yi could not possibly let her go!

During their exchange, Shen Yi ambushed Murong Xue twice more.

By now Murong Xue’s face was paper-white, and she needed to lean on the sofa just to stay standing.

Obviously, she had already reached her limit.

“Damn it! If this keeps up, my mind will collapse…”

Murong Xue panted heavily, her face as white as paper.

By squeezing her mental power to the extreme, her superpower had even advanced to level 2!

She was leveling up by overdrawing her mind!

It was the stupidest way to level up!

Yet even after the breakthrough, it did her no good.

Her remaining mental strength was no longer enough to keep using her superpower.

“Bang!”

Suddenly, a bottle of water slammed into Murong Xue.

She failed to block this ambush!

Shen Yi’s eyes sharpened.

This was his chance!

He quickly pulled out a grenade, but before acting he asked again, “Have you made up your mind?”

“This is the last chance!”

Shen Yi no longer wanted to keep taking risks.

If Murong Xue still refused to compromise, he would have to eliminate this problem completely!

The loss would be a bit heavy, but at least he could remove a major threat.

“Think? **** your thinking! Even if I let you come now, do you dare sleep with me?”

Murong Xue leaned on the sofa and cursed coldly.

Originally she had only been conflicted and hesitant.

But after being toyed with by Shen Yi, she truly became enraged!

She would not fight over bread, only over pride!

If she could not vent her anger today, this reincarnated life would have been lived in vain!

“You’re driving me mad!!!”

Shen Yi wasted no words, teleported over, and threw a bottle of sleeping pills.

Murong Xue instinctively defended, but when she saw it was sleeping pills, she clenched her fist in fury.

“Bastard!”

“Come out if you have the guts!”

“Let me beat you up!”

“As long as you stand still and let me hit you once, I’ll agree to your demand!!”

“And I’m not taking any pills!!!”

Those words were a disguised compromise.

She only wanted to vent her anger!

But Shen Yi did not care whether she was angry.

He had no intention of putting himself in her shoes.

As long as he felt good, that was enough, right?

With the apocalypse underway, worrying about others’ happiness or grievances all day would be far too tiring!

Being human meant enjoying double standards.

“Beating me up is impossible, so forget it!”

“If you want to compromise, then show me your sincerity.”

Shen Yi remained calm.

He had used his superpower frequently today and spent plenty of stamina, yet he found his mastery of Teleportation had become more proficient.

Indeed, a superpower had to be used often to improve.

He could now teleport upward dozens of meters in succession!

As long as he used a second teleport before falling, he could stack the distance.

In other words, if his reactions were fast enough, he could really reach the sky!

Though it was pretty useless…

“I ******!”

“*********!!”

“*******!!!”

At that moment, Murong Xue was cursing foully through the Mental Link.

Her language was so filthy that Shen Yi almost cut the link unilaterally.

Good grief.

He had not expected such a graceful, mature beauty to spit out such dirty words.

She was obviously furious.

He thought it over and felt it was understandable.

If Shen Yi had been toyed with like this by a villain, he might have suffered a heart attack from rage!

Fortunately, he was the villain here.

What a relief!

Murong Xue cursed for a long time and finally stopped when her mouth went dry.

She seemed to have vented quite a bit, and even the black aura around her faded slightly.

She plopped onto the sofa, stopped guarding against ambushes, and sat there in silence.

Yet Shen Yi did not dare lower his guard.

Who knew whether Murong Xue was using herself as bait to lure him in?

He glanced out the window.

The rain was falling harder and harder.

It was time to end this farce.

Shen Yi gripped the grenade and used Teleportation once again.
