Chapter 214: Teasing Xiao Mim
Chapter 214: Teasing Xiao Mim
"I..."
Xiao Mimi felt her chest tighten, and she took a deep breath, lowering her posture further and softening her voice even more. The tone she used could make a man's bones turn soft.
"Big brother, you have a roomful of divine weapons and such potent poisons. Why fear me, a lone and insignificant young lady?"
"You forgot to mention one thing," Jiang Feng said.
"What did I forget?" asked Xiao Mimi.
"You forgot about the Five Extremes Divine Art," Jiang Feng said proudly. "This incredible martial arts technique that shocks the heavens and moves the soul is right here in my possession."
Xiao Mimi's heart twitched.
She had discovered the upper level of the underground palace, which was expansive and extravagantly decorated. She had explored every corner of it and had finally found a cave in the backyard that led her to the stone house where she now stood.
Just as Jiang Feng had anticipated, she had assumed that this stone house was the burial place of the craftsmen who built the underground palace and that it held the final secrets of the palace. Thus, she never imagined that the underground palace she had discovered was merely the outer perimeter!
She had been setting up her base here for almost half a year, and yet she never considered that the lower levels were the true core of this underground palace!
Untold riches, innumerable divine weapons, profound and wondrous martial arts, and invisible poisons that could kill—all were hidden here.
Xiao Mimi regretted and agonized over the fact that she had spent six months in the upper levels, oblivious to the treasure trove beneath her. And now, this timid and lewd man, who knew where he had come from, had taken the initiative, blocking her behind the stone door.
Xiao Mimi was filled with regret and pain. If it weren't for the stone door separating them, she believed she would have already twisted the man's head off his shoulders.
Do not doubt Xiao Mimi's martial arts skills. Even though she was only in her early twenties, she had already earned the title of one of the Ten Great Villains.
While each of the Ten Great Villains had their unique traits and specialties, martial arts prowess was a fundamental requirement, and Xiao Mimi was no exception. Known as the "Enchantress Who Doesn't Take Lives," her martial arts skills were undoubtedly exceptional, placing her among the top experts in the martial arts world.
However, a stone door, a full foot thick, stood between Xiao Mimi and Jiang Feng, and she was no immortal who could move such an imposing obstacle with ease. Thus, she had no choice but to find a way to get the man on the other side to open the door.
As long as she could set eyes on that man, she had plenty of tricks up her sleeve to deal with him. "If I let you die peacefully, it would mean I don't deserve the title of one of the Ten Great Villains!"
With a vicious thought in her mind, Xiao Mimi's voice became even more pitiful and enchanting. "Sir, I'm just an ordinary girl from a simple family. I'm truly not a bad person."
Xiao Mimi looked at the gap in the stone door, her eyes flashing, and said in a soft, enticing voice, "Why don't you open the door a little wider and take a look at me? Just one glance, and you'll know I'm telling the truth."
Xiao Mimi did not believe that any man could resist her charm. In the bloom of her youth, she was confident that the man on the other side would be captivated by her beauty the moment he laid eyes on her.
"No," Jiang Feng laughed. "Just from your voice, I can tell you're a beautiful girl. If I see you, I might not be able to resist letting you out."
"I..."
Xiao Mimi hadn't expected the man on the other side to have such self-awareness.
"You see," Jiang Feng explained to Xiao Mimi, "if you're a bad person and I let you out, I'm afraid you'll do me harm. But if you're truly a good girl from a decent family, I'm afraid that letting you out might bring you harm instead."
"Do you think my analysis makes sense?" Jiang Feng asked. "Aren't you afraid that I might lose control of my desires and bring you harm? Aren't you afraid that you're jumping from the wolf's den into the tiger's lair?"
"I'm just looking out for your best interests," Jiang Feng said sincerely. "Don't you think I'm being considerate of you?"
However, she wasn't confident enough to believe that her voice alone could manipulate all men.
"I... I'm not scared. I believe you're a good person, big brother," Xiao Mimi said meekly. "If you were a bad person, you would have come in and taken advantage of me by now."
There was a hint of fear, a touch of weakness, and even a hint of allure and invitation in Xiao Mimi's voice. If it had been an ordinary man, he might not have been able to resist.
Xiao Mimi desperately wished for Jiang Feng to lose control of his desires, open the stone door, and take advantage of her.
"No, no, don't misunderstand me. I'm not a good person," Jiang Feng said. "If you have faith in me, then I should have faith in myself too. I can't let you down, so I definitely won't open this door."
Xiao Mimi was speechless.
Finally, she said, "Are you playing with me?"
"You're just realizing this now?" Jiang Feng exclaimed in surprise. "I thought you were playing along with me!"
"You..." Xiao Mimi felt a pain in her chest. In the past, it was she who toyed with others, driving them wild with desire, leaving them in a life-or-death dilemma. With her beauty and wit, she was invincible in the martial world.
But now, she found herself in shallow waters, being played by a shrimp. Separated by a stone door, she was being manipulated by a young man who seemed to be just a boy.
"Do you know who I am?"
"With so many treasures and divine weapons in this underground palace, how much can you carry away? How long will it take you to clear it out?" Xiao Mimi asked bitterly. "By the time I dig a tunnel to where you are, do you believe I could crush you with just one hand?"
"I don't believe it," Jiang Feng laughed. "Do you really think I'm so greedy that I want to possess everything in this palace? With the Five Extremes Divine Art, I can easily dominate the martial world and obtain wealth and weapons whenever I please.
Even if you had all the gold, silver, jewels, and divine weapons from this palace, without the corresponding martial arts skills, you'd be like a child with a pocketful of gold trying to navigate a busy market. You'd end up having to hide and sneak around."
Xiao Mimi was left speechless by his words, and she couldn't help but think of the other villains who had taken refuge in Villain Valley.
In the past few years, they had been given the title of the Ten Great Villains, and they had initially taken pride in it, even gathering together a few times. She had gotten along quite well with Tu Jiaojiao.
But contrary to their expectations, while their notoriety had increased, so had their number of enemies. Within just a few years, Du Sha, Li Dazui, Haha Er, and Tu Jiaojiao had all retreated into Villain Valley.
They were still better off than Yin Jiuyou, who, she heard, had his martial arts skills disabled by the Shaolin Temple and was now imprisoned on Mount Song, a tragic fate.
"So, who are you?" Jiang Feng asked with a smile. "Your voice is so alluring, yet your words are so fierce. Could you be one of the infamous Ten Great Villains, the enchanting Xiao Mimi?"
Xiao Mimi was stunned. She hadn't expected him to guess her identity so directly.
"Who are you?" she asked, shocked. "You figured out who I was a long time ago, didn't you?"
Jiang Feng laughed heartily and then walked to the center of the room, turning the crank to close the stone door.
"Clank!"
The stone door closed, plunging Xiao Mimi into darkness once more.
Just before the door shut completely, Xiao Mimi heard Jiang Feng's final words.
"The Ten Great Villains? Infamous throughout the world? The moment others know you're villains, you've already lost."
