Top-notch Urban Evil Cultivator

The woman did not speak.

Just nodded.

Lin Xuan's breathing became somewhat uneven.

...

In the darkness, only her wine-red hair swayed in the wind, gleaming with a dark red sheen in the dim light.

Half an hour later…

Lin Xuan was defeated.

He felt utterly defeated.

His back was pressed against the cold wall, his mind clear.

...

"Cough cough..."

After a while, she looked at Lin Xuan.

A hint of bewilderment lingered on her delicate face.

...

Lin Xuan felt a chill run down his spine.

Another indescribable heat surged up from his dantian.

"You're a lunatic..."

Lin Xuan let out a long sigh and turned his head away.

Leaning against the wall.

His voice was very soft, as if he were talking to himself.

"Little brother, I'm liking you more and more, what should I do?"

The woman stood up and moved closer to him.

Her eyes sparkled, filled with a childlike sincerity and greed.

I don't know why.

He sensed that this woman was the same as before.

There are some differences.

...

Lin Xuan fell silent, unsure of what to say.

What else can be said?

It's no use saying anything!

This woman is insane; she cannot be judged by normal logic.

"What, one more time?"

Seeing that Lin Xuan didn't speak, the woman smiled and put her hand on the belt he had just tied.

"No, I was wrong!"

Lin Xuan quickly shook her head, frantically trying to protect her pants, like a bullied little girl.

"Can we chat now? Just a normal chat!"

He emphasized the word "normal".

The woman smiled and nodded, then stepped back and sat down in the chair opposite her.

She straightened her clothes, tucked her loose long hair behind her ears, revealing a delicate and charming face.

It's unbelievably beautiful.

"Normal chatting is fine."

She crossed her legs, her long legs drawing a graceful arc in the darkness.

"But you have to make time for yourself in the evenings."

Lin Xuan was silent for a moment, then nodded:

"Okay, but only if you don't attack me again."

"no problem!"

She smiled brightly.

Lin Xuan turned on the light and sat down in the chair opposite her.

Hmm... even more beautiful now.

Especially her ridiculously beautiful face.

Just now...

...

The woman spoke first:

Just call me Rose.

Lin Xuan nodded.

This code name is not unexpected.

Because her fragrance, her appearance, and the dangerous thorns all fit the description perfectly.

Rose.

A rose with thorns, beautiful yet deadly.

"So, tell me in detail?"

Rose continued to speak.

As she spoke, her foot slowly slid over Lin Xuan's leg, the toe of her high heel sliding from his knee down to his calf, carrying a certain provocative meaning.

Lin Xuan shifted his body to avoid her foot and said seriously:

"When I saw Xia Guang this afternoon, I guessed it might be you, so we split up... Heh... Based on this situation, I deduce that Xia Guang has figured out some secret. And this secret is related to me, and to your Dawn Society!"

He paused, looking into Rose's eyes: "So, that's why you want to silence me! And I didn't join your Dawn Society, so you couldn't possibly be doing this purely to help me, which leaves only yourselves! But our relationship..."

Rose smiled, her expression unchanged.

She rested her arm on the table, supporting her face, and her eyes, beneath her long, wavy red hair, stared at Lin Xuan with an ambiguous gaze.

Lin Xuan felt a surge of heat again as he looked at it. He coughed lightly and looked away.

"Continue," she said.

Lin Xuan picked up the file next to him and took out the brief description of the Eight Meridians.

"Originally, I was just guessing, but after reading the brief description of these eight meridians, I'm 70% certain that there is indeed a connection between me and your Dawn Society!"

"Oh?"

Rose reached for the file and flipped through it.

It only contains the most basic information about the Eight Meridians and does not involve any secrets.

She flipped through a few pages and then returned them to Lin Xuan.

"Why?" she asked.

Lin Xuan reached out and gently tapped a few words in the file twice.

His fingertips landed on those two words, and he pronounced them one by one:

One is a seed.

He paused, then moved his finger to another word.

One is enlightenment.

Upon seeing these two words, Rose finally revealed an undisguised look of admiration in her eyes.

That praise wasn't feigned; it came from the heart.

The dagger beside her began to vibrate and hum slightly in the air.

Lin Xuan quickly spoke up to remind him:

"You said you wouldn't lay a hand on me!"

Rose smiled and shook her head, then gently patted the dagger, as if soothing an excited pet.

"This isn't a strike; I'm already in sync with the dagger. Sometimes emotions influence it."

Lin Xuan: ...

You're really a professional!

wrong!

No wonder just now…

Even the dagger was trembling!

So, was she excited at that time?

Lin Xuan took a deep breath and shook those messy thoughts out of his mind.

"So, my guess was right?"

After a moment, Lin Xuan asked.

Rose nodded, her smile fading.

"Go on."

She didn't reveal any information, wanting to see just how far Lin Xuan could figure things out on his own.

It's like a teacher testing students, or a hunter observing its prey.

Lin Xuan organized his thoughts and spoke at a moderate pace:

"I sorted through some information I had received from different people and came to the conclusion that for the successors of the Eight Meridians, the path to this world is severed."

As soon as she finished speaking, Rose straightened up.

She was no longer as languid as before; her alluring face was now filled with seriousness, and her eyes had sharpened.

"Where did you hear that from?"

"Wang Dali".

Lin Xuan answered directly, his tone frank.

"His master once said this after drinking."

Rose thought for a moment, then nodded, seemingly accepting the explanation.

Her body relaxed a little, but her gaze remained sharp.

"Go on."

Lin Xuan took a deep breath and stated his final conclusion.

The voice wasn't loud, but every word was resounding:

"But you, the Dawn Society! That's a different path!"

He paused for a moment and observed Rose's expression.

Her face still held a hint of seriousness.

Lin Xuan's voice rose a few decibels:

"Therefore, you dare not let the Eight Meridians discover you! You don't need the Eight Meridians' guidance! And saving me is... saving yourselves!"

The archive fell silent.

Only the overhead light bulb emitted a buzzing electrical sound.

Rose stared at Lin Xuan, remaining silent.
