Tang Yue looked at the man standing in front of her. He had his typical cold arrogant grin on his face.
His long white hair fluttered in the wind and his crimson eyes lingered on her as if they were waiting to devour her.
The man was nothing if not charismatic. There was not a single crack in the flawless face and his addictive allure.
However, unlike their previous encounters, this time Tang Yue found his demeanor neither charming nor intimidating.
Her ruthless emerald gaze matched his cold crimson gaze as she hissed in anger.
"No, I am asking you. What the hell do you want from me?"
"Surely, you don't lack beautiful women who are ready to spread their legs and bend over to your every whim and desire."
"So why the hell are you chasing after me?"
Xander chuckled lightly. He was not in the least affected by her toxic words. "Perhaps it is the hunt that I like." He shrugged his shoulder.
The harpy resting on the ground had no idea what was going on, but even she knew that this was the wrong answer.
Tang Yue glared back at Xander. Every word coming out of the damned man was infuriating her to no end.
"You are out of luck then. Everything ends here." Tang Yue hissed.
"Heh. I don't think so." Xander shook his head.
"Nothing is ending here or have you already forgotten about the bargain chips in my hand."
The man was clearly threatening her, but Tang Yue chuckled coldly, her long forked tongue flickering in and out.
"Perhaps it is you who does not understand. Do you really think you have bargaining chips?"
"Why don't you think again?"
"If you wanted to harm Charlotte you would have done so already."
"But you will never do that, out of respect for her father, your most trustworthy General."
"Oh and as for that dwarf. Heh. I would like you to try and harm him."
"Maybe then the Deity from the Dwarven Empire would wipe out the entire bunch of you filthy degenerate elves."
"You see… You have nothing on me. I owe nothing to you." Tang Yue shouted.
Her entire figure was trembling and there was not an ounce of kindness visible within her.
She was shaking with a fit of uncontrollable anger.
She knew that the man in front of her probably didn't deserve such treatment from her and that's what made her angry.
If such a good man could be so heartless towards the harpy who is only rumored to be dangerous, then what about her…
Wouldn't he simply forget all these sweet and sugary words and directly chain and imprison her for the rest of her life?
She had already lost too much because of her so-called special bloodline.
Xander furrowed his brows, his confident grin slowly turning into a frown.
He seriously had no idea what the hell was going on, but he had a bad feeling about this.
"What happened?" He asked, his voice containing a tinge of hesitation, which Tang Yue was too agitated to care about.
"I am leaving and you can do nothing to stop me."
"What you did to her… You will never have the chance to do to me."
Tang Yue shouted at him making him widen his eyes in surprise.
But the next instant, Xander sighed, relaxing completely. He finally knew the reason why his snake was out of control.
"Stop joking, my dear."
"I admit. I do want to tie you up and chain you to my bed, but I would never do something like that to you."
Xander paused, allowing his words to wash over Tang Yue first.
"By the way, that thing next to you. You should be very wary of it."
"Now, let's go back. Come with me." Xander lifted his hand and gently reached it out to Tang Yue.
She, however, simply gazed at the gesture mockingly.
"Heh. I am sorry, but I have no intentions of going back with you today."
"In fact, if you don't leave right now, I assure you that you will regret it."
Tang Yue tapped her fingers lightly, making the harpy, who was still sitting on the ground and listening to everything quietly, look up at her.
Tang Yue did not have to spell out the words. The harpy understood what was expected of her.
She was not a small cub like Little Blue. She was someone who was even older than Xander and Tang Yue put together.
So she nodded and slowly stood up.
She hadn't fully recovered yet, but she seemed to have enough strength to stand her ground.
Under the dim glow of the ominous moonlight, her shadow fell on the ground for the first time in a long time.
The harpy had a tall frame and a lean body.
Her face was no different than that of another higher being like an elf or a dwarf, with a human structure.
But her hands and legs were claws rather than fingers.
The entirety of her back, her hands, and her thighs were covered in long green feathers, but her original wings had already been cleanly clipped off.
Her claws had also been damaged as if someone had tortured her by chopping her fingers into half right down the middle.
"Go ahead. Pay him back for everything he did to you." Tang Yue muttered coldly.
The harpy nodded and was about to raise her hand when suddenly dark tentacles made of thick dark elemental aura protruded from thin air and bound the woman completely from head to toe.
"My dear… Do you really think that you can scare me with these small threats?" Xander chuckled.
Tang Yue clenched her fists, her chest still heaving in anger.
But the man continued to laugh at her arrogantly, making light of her resentment.
Tang Yue stepped forward, summoning out her soul sword, but Xander as well moved, almost at the same time, grabbing her from behind and locking both her hands, her sword falling down on the ground.
"Listen to me, you idiot. I had to do that because the thing next to you is a vicious creature."
"How are you both even alike in any aspect?"
"Why did you doubt in the slightest that I would treat you in the same way?"
"Is that what you think of me?"
"If you want to unleash that thing on me, go ahead and do it."
"Heh. Did you think I was afraid of this ugly bird??"
"If you are not there with me… If you leave me… my future is already bleak."
"Why would I then be scared of whatever this damned thing predicts?"
"It can spew out all the curses under the heavens for all I care."
"If you are not there with me, then none of it matters. Do you understand?"
Xander shook her trembling body and let the snake go.
He then lifted the sword from the ground, handing it to Tang Yue. "This is a fine sword."
Tang Yue, on the other hand, stood frozen staring back at him. The man's words had startled her briefly, calming her down.
Xander smiled gently and pinched her cheeks, his face revealing a warmth and softness that he had never shown to others.
"My dear, I already know everything about you. If I was going to chain you, I would have done so a long time ago."
He smiled and whispered, the words barely brushing her ears.
Tang Yue's eyes flew wide. "You… What did you just say?" she asked him again, her eyes filled with utter shock and disbelief.
Xander leaned forward and planted a gentle kiss on her right cheek.
He then kissed her left cheek and her nose and then her forehead.
The man stopped, his crimson eyes gazed at her and his lopsided grin made a comeback.
"I know your dirty little secret."
Tang Yue did not have the mood to beat around the bushes right now and confronted him directly.
"What do you know? You are just bluffing. You know nothing." She retorted begrudgingly.
"Oh am I?" Xander chuckled and paused.
"Yes. Yes. You are definitely lying, you bastard. Stop. Just stop it. Stop messing with me and jerking me around." Tang Yue shouted in exasperation.
Her long black locks danced in the air and her bloodshot eyes angrily daggered the man in front of her.
She refused to believe that this man had somehow figured out her deepest and darkest secret, that her very life depended on.
Though he saw that she was very much affected and agitated by this entire thing, Xander only shook his head helplessly, revealing a gentle smile.
"Calm down." He said.
He then fished out a small rune crystal from within his robe and crushed it, his tall figure instantly morphing into something smaller and more adorable.
"Do you believe me now, big sister?" A cute and innocent voice sounded, as Tang Yue's face paled and her heart sank.
