Immortal Ice Empress: Path to Vengeance

Chapter 475 Lured



Next to Mira stood two people, a male, and a female, who wore red robes with a yin-yang symbol over their hearts, proving their status as a disciple of the Yin-Yang Sect.

The man had long black hair tied in a ponytail, sharp eyebrows, brown eyes, a handsome face, and a tall stature. He also had a refined aura that attracted people to him.

The woman was almost the complete opposite. She was short, had silver hair, a beautiful appearance, and a cold, intimidating aura.

The two of them stared down at Mira, expecting her to greet them, but after a minute, neither Mira nor Hana even looked up at them.

Their eyebrows twitched at Mira's disrespect, but they weren't going to throw a tantrum over it.

"Ahem!"

The guy cleared his throat, hoping to catch Mira's attention, but the two kept acting like he wasn't there.

However, he was someone from the Yin-Yang Sect! He's basically a glorified prostitute that cultivates by having sex! His skin is thick enough not to be fazed by this.

"My name is Derek, and this is my companion, Lisa. We are Core Disciples of the Yin-Yang branch sect here in Plum Blossom City. May we have the honor of knowing the name and affiliation of a beautiful woman like you?" The man said in a slightly hoarse voice with his chest puffed out, trying to act tough in front of Mira.

The woman, Lisa, rolled her eyes hearing his words, but one could tell she was also interested in the beautiful fox woman in front of her.

After his introduction, Mira finally raised her head, but instead of answering, she just asked in an indifferent voice, "Can I help you?"

The two were taken aback, not by her words but by her tone and the weight behind her words.

It sounded less like a question and more like a threat that said, "I'll get angry if you keep bothering me."

Lisa felt like something was wrong as her womanly instincts told her not to trust this woman. She wanted to warn Derek, but he was already too enthralled by her beauty that he probably wouldn't listen to her.

"Actually, I do need a bit of help," Derek said in a slightly downtrodden voice.

Mira raised an eyebrow, gesturing him to continue. Derek saw this and tried to keep the sides of his lips from raising.

"You see, one of my arms is missing a beautiful woman like yourself on it. Do you think you could help me out with this little problem of mine?" Derek asked confidently.

Lisa's eyes narrowed, but she wasn't upset. In fact, if Derek could score a beauty like Mira, she'd be happy knowing her man was good enough to attract someone like Mira.

On the other hand, Hana was surprised by how good his pickup line was.

"Aren't you a little too greedy when you already have a beautiful and powerful woman like her by your side?" Mira asked.

They were both Stage 2 Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, which was quite powerful considering they are only part of a branch sect where the leader is probably only at the Soul Transformation Realm.

"Hahaha~! Maybe I am a bit greedy, but who here wouldn't be greedy for a beautiful woman like you? Oh, and I can assure you that Lisa wouldn't mind you accompanying my other arm, either. She's been helping me look for my 'right-hand woman'." Derek said while showing off his empty right arm.

"Ah! Also, if you're worried about her getting jealous during sex, don't be. She's also into women as well. That way, we can all have fun without leaving anyone out!" He added.

Lisa blushed, but her expression never changed. However, Mira's eyes almost twitched, and she couldn't help but glance at Hana.

'Why does it seem like I only attract shameless people like this?' Mira thought, forcefully suppressing her irritation.

Maybe if there weren't so many people around, she would've already killed him for daring to say something like that to her face, but she didn't want to start any more trouble than she was already in.

The last few months have been quite annoying, and she just wanted to make it back to the Battle Maiden Sect without being hunted down… again.

Therefore, she kept her killing intent under control and somehow managed to smile. Even though it was a forced smile, her face was too beautiful that it'd be hard to notice.

"...Very well. Why don't we discuss this in my room, where we won't have any… distractions?" Mira suggested before getting up and walking to her room with Hana in tow.

Derek was ecstatic, and the largest smile he could make appeared on his face.

'Hahaha! It seems even a beauty like her can't resist my charms!' He thought internally, not even realizing he was the one who was charmed.

Lisa, however, felt that something wasn't right. In fact, this feeling only grew the longer Derek talked to Mira. She couldn't quite determine what it was, but she felt overwhelming danger coming from the beautiful fox woman.

She's heard stories about fox women, whether they be beastmen or beasts that have taken human form. In stories, they are often portrayed as roses: beautiful but dangerous.

But for some reason, she felt like Mira's thorns weren't like a normal rose. Instead of thorns, she was covered in poison daggers that would kill anyone who dared to approach too carelessly.

ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ

This may be because she felt overwhelmingly inferior compared to such a beauty, but there was also something in the recess of her mind telling her to be wary of Mira.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Derek was already halfway up to Mira's room, so she had no other choice but to follow. She had to make sure he didn't do anything stupid, after all!

The crowd that had gathered around Mira was clearly disappointed that she had actually taken a liking to a Yin-Yang Sect disciple, but it couldn't be helped.

"Sigh… I guess we normal folk can't even compare to someone from one of the Top 7 Sects on the continent."

"Hmph! He's just from a branch sect. Why would that beautiful woman allow that man into her room?"

"Shhh! Don't say stuff like that out loud. Even if he is from a branch Sect, he will probably end up going to the main Sect. Didn't you see how young and powerful he was? There's no way he'll stay here in this little city!"

"So, you think that fox woman thought this as well and wanted to get in his good graces before he eventually becomes part of the main Sect?"

"I guess you're not as dumb as you look, huh?"

"Fuck you!"

The crowd dispersed dispiritedly, but they weren't that unhappy. Most of them knew they'd never be able to attract a beautiful woman like Mira. They were just there in hopes of getting lucky.

As the crowd dispersed, Mira finally entered her room with Hana, Derek, and Lisa.

Now that they were finally alone, Derek began undressing.

To Derek, there was only one reason why a girl would invite a man into her room: to have sex! He was confident in his body and little brother, so there was absolutely no shame in his eyes as he removed his clothes.

Lisa was stunned by Derek's actions; even though he was quite shameless, he was never so bold.

Mira's eyes visibly twitched upon seeing this, and she finally couldn't contain herself. A scythe appeared in her hands, and without warning, she slashed at his neck.

Lisa's eyes went wide.

"NOOOOO-!"

She tried to jump in front of Derek to block it, but it was already too late.

*Swish!*

*Splat!*

Before she could jump in front of him, Derek's head was already removed from his body.

She looked up with bloodshot eyes and saw Mira staring down at Derek's body in disgust.

"Finally, I no longer have to hear that vermin's nonsense," Mira muttered and turned to look at Lisa.

The latter felt her body go cold in fear upon contacting Mira's cold, emotionless eyes. It was like Mira was staring at a dead piece of meat instead of an actual person.

'How could I not have noticed this before? Was she hiding her true nature under that pretty face? Is this the end? Why did she kill Derek?' All kinds of questions went through her mind, but she didn't have an answer to a single one.

Thankfully, Mira decided to answer them for her.

"You might be wondering why I killed him. I guess you could say I just didn't like him. Maybe he would've lived before he said all that nonsense and started stripping. But did he think of me as some lowly whore, ready to give my body to him just because of a few words? I'd rather die than let scum like him touch me!" Mira said while picking up his spatial ring and searching through his clothes for anything valuable.

Lisa was speechless.

"S-So you're saying he died merely because of that?" Lisa stuttered.

Mira turned and stared at Lisa before sneering.

"Merely? He's lucky I didn't torture him for his insolence! Anyways, I'm partially glad he was a blabbering fool who only knew how to fuck. If he were a bit more aware or a bit stronger, I would've had a harder time killing him silently like that. So, I guess, in a way, it's good that he was a weak idiot."

Lisa didn't know what to say. All she knew was that she needed to get out of here…!

"Hmm?!"

However, for some reason, she couldn't move! She tried opening her mouth to scream, but something had already wrapped tightly around her throat, preventing her from doing so.

"You seem a bit more intelligent than that guy. If you don't want to die, don't scream, and do your best to answer my questions. Don't worry. I won't be asking for any kind of sect secrets. I just want to know a bit about your cultivation technique."
