Chapter 533: "We Meet Again..."
Just as his and Noah's eyes met, time seemed to have stopped around them. If this had happened with a woman, Long Xiang would have thought of it as love at first sight, but now he knew this was death at sight!
"Your mouth is filled with nothing but trash, isn't it? Maybe it's the genes of the Long family." Long Xiang shivered in fear, unable to avert his gaze from his captor's eyes. Continue reading on My Virtual Library Empire
He could not even muster any anger at his insults.
It was as if the man before him could see through his whole being, which scared him even more.
Seeing Long Xiang cowering in fear, Noah did not say anything else, but his lips curled into a menacing smile before his hands moved.
Bang!
Crack!!!
He banged Long Xiang's head on the ground, causing his nose to creak, a few of his teeth fell down on the ground as the person lifted his head once more.
"Who… who are you?!" Long Xiang, with all of his might, asked with a husky and pained voice. "Why… Why are you doing this to me?"
He was on the verge of breaking down as even his voice cracked a little.
"Me? I am Noah!" The person declared with a warm smile on his face that was covered with drops of blood. "As to why this is happening, you know it in your heart~ Don't you?"
Long Xiang felt his soul leap out of his body when suddenly a silhouette of a huge black dragon appeared behind Noah, gazing at him as if he was an insignificant creature.
Just a simple gaze from the divine beast made him feel tremendous pressure. He could feel it; this kind of pressure was not directed at his body but on his soul instead.
Even though the gaze felt calm on the surface, there was a huge amount of killing intent and rage concealed behind it.
Long Xiang knelt on the ground with a listless expression on his face. His body was twitching involuntarily; he had already pissed himself.
"I thought you would continue to torture him for a while, why did you stop suddenly." Just when all hope seemed lost to him, the most enchanting voice he had ever heard in his life came for his rescue.
Or so he thought…
Following the voice, the huge figure of the dragon vanished without a trace. Had it not been for the lingering sensation of fear on his body and soul, Long Xiang might have thought it was an illusion.
Long Xiang snapped out of his daze and turned his head toward the source of the previous voice.
To his shock, he saw Xin Yan, who had been frozen previously, starting to move again.
But Long Xiang had a deep feeling that something was wrong with the woman before him.
She was completely different from the naive and immature Xin Yan he knew.
As if to confirm his suspicion, Xin Yan's body started to undergo an unreal change.
Her long black hair started to elongate before it reached the length of her knee, while its color changed to an icy shade of blue, making it enchanting and mesmerizing.
It was not just her hair; her whole body changed. Her height grew a little, her curves became more defined, and her skin seemed to be glowing with an amber shade. Slowly, she transformed from a kingdom-toppling beauty to a woman who could only be worshiped as a goddess by mortals.
The ground beneath her feet started to freeze; she hovered in the air as if gravity did not work on her.
Seeing her beautiful appearance, Long Xiang's mind went black—hatred, pain, agony, dissatisfaction—he forgot everything and only looked at 'Xin Yan' in a daze.
'No, this can't be her!! Even though Xin Yan is beautiful, she can't reach her level.'
Xin Yan ignored the pitiful man lying on the ground and walked towards Noah with her feet stepping in the air. Despite the coldness around her, the gentleness and warmth in her eyes did not decrease as she looked at the man before her.
That gaze of hers was powerful enough to melt even the coldest hearts with its warmth.
But…
This gaze only belonged to a single being!
Hearing her words, Noah did not say anything, just silently looked back at her. Seeing his reaction, her eyes softened even further as if her heart had melted at that moment.
Xin Yan understood Noah could not stand the man insulting her, which prompted him to act, and even now he was barely holding himself back from killing the man just so he could slowly torture him.
Getting closer to him, she hugged his head with both of her arms and placed it on her stomach. Noah did not say anything as he felt Xin Yan's soft fingers running through his hair.
Long Xiang wanted to look carefully at Xin Yan, but his eyes suddenly started bleeding, and his voice seemed to be blocked by something.
He could not even scream in pain and just lay on the ground helplessly.
After a while, Noah waved his hand, and Long Xiang's body returned to its prime state to prevent him from dying of blood loss, but he still couldn't move.
Xin Yan also moved her gaze away from Noah and landed on Long Xiang; her whole demeanor changed suddenly.
With a cold and ruthless look in her eyes, she opened her mouth to speak, "We meet again… Long Xiang!"
Long Xiang's body shook, hearing the ethereal voice calling him out. He did not realize what was happening; one second, he was close to going blind, but now he was perfectly fine.
He slowly raised his head from the ground and looked at the woman with blurry eyes. He did not mind the coldness in her tone that made his body feel pricking pain.
"Wh… Who are you?" Long Xiang felt his mouth and throat dry as he tried to speak. Gulping down his saliva, he spoke again. With all of his strength, he tried to get up but could only raise his upper body.
