Chapter 226: Chapter 226

Dressed so provocatively, yet she’s still trying to act pure. It’s utterly ridiculous.

Jiu Li paid no attention to Su Yan’s derisive laughter. She even shamelessly made unsolicited advances. While seemingly idly playing with her long legs, she smiled seductively at Su Yan.

"Don’t all you men like girls who dress a bit provocatively? I wonder, sir... do you like how Jiu Li is dressed?"

A leopard can’t change its spots. It had been a while since Jiu Li had faced the sharp rebuke of an unyieldingly straight man, so she began to act like her usual Fox Demon self again, teasing Su Yan whenever she pleased. She was courting disaster with great intensity.

Faced with Jiu Li suddenly acting as provocatively as if she were in heat, Su Yan admitted he felt a flicker of impulse, but he managed to restrain himself well. He steadied his slightly ragged breathing and gave Little Nine Fox a menacing look.

Then, he said in a dangerous tone, "Do you realize you’re playing with fire right now?"

Upon hearing this, Jiu Li’s beautiful eyebrows arched slightly. Continuing to court disaster, she said, "Yes, Jiu Li is indeed playing with fire, because Jiu Li burns hot."

Su Yan fell silent, merely giving Jiu Li a meaningful glance before sitting down, closing his eyes to rest, and waiting for the train’s arrival.

Jiu Li was really pushing it with her troublemaking. Truthfully, he had been angered by her just now. But since the high-speed train station’s waiting area was a public place, he couldn’t very well punish her there.

This Fox Demon’s wildness is really something... I’ll have to train her properly in the future... Otherwise, she’ll keep causing trouble in front of me...

As Su Yan thought this, his gaze inadvertently drifted towards Jiu Li beside him. His eyes landed precisely on her stocking-clad legs, and he couldn’t help but scrutinize them. The soft black silk clung tightly to her slender, jade-like legs, the tops of the stockings cinching ever so slightly, outlining the voluptuous flesh of her thighs. This, combined with the hip-hugging skirt above, formed a perfect "absolute territory," exuding an ultimate sense of mystery that beckoned exploration. Further down, her slender, straight calves looked delicate enough to be encircled by a hand. Paired with the ankle boots on her delicate feet, she presented an image that was both innocent and seductive.

This sight was, without a doubt, an ultimate feast for any leg aficionado. It was the kind of scene that could easily make someone lose their composure.

What a provocative Fox Demon... Su Yan instinctively swallowed. As expected of a Fox Demon. Her allure for men is maxed out; she’s simply irresistible. Even someone like me, a steel-straight guy for eighteen years, is showing signs of cracking after being around her for a while.

As time passed, more people gradually began to fill the waiting area. A trace of sleepiness was visible on many of their faces; they had obviously woken up not long ago.

Soon, the high-speed train to Jingdou arrived at the platform.

Seeing this, Su Yan unhurriedly led the provocative Jiu Li beside him onto the carriage, and they found their seats. At the same time, other passengers who had been waiting outside also began to enter the carriage one after another. With nothing better to do while seated, Su Yan turned his gaze to the carriage door, casually observing each person who entered.

After sizing up more than ten people in a row, Su Yan’s expression instantly darkened.

He realized that everyone currently in the carriage was an evolved being. And the weakest among them was at least Rare level. This is outrageous! Since when did evolved beings become so commonplace? Numerous enough to be found everywhere? Something is very wrong here...

Su Yan became fully alert.

He began to suspect that these people in the carriage were all human traitors who had sided with the Demonic Plant, sent here under orders to ambush and eliminate me.

That was what Su Yan was thinking, but he didn’t let any of it show on his face.

I deliberately disguised myself on the way to the high-speed train station. A peaked cap, dark-framed glasses, and a complete change of clothes. It’s a completely different look from when I left the house. I even used a different ID to buy the train ticket. Logically, they shouldn’t have been able to track me down and gather so many people in the same carriage.

Could it be a coincidence? This unlikely thought flashed through Su Yan’s mind, and he decided to observe quietly and see what developed.

Soon, his peripheral vision caught a young man in the seat across the aisle, and he began to size him up discreetly.

He’s the only one in this carriage who could pose a threat to me, a powerhouse at the Half-step Epic Level. His surname is Ye, given name Xiaosu—a direct fusion of three classic protagonist surnames. Just the name itself sounds Incredible, giving off the vibe of a chosen one.

Soon, the train began to move.

At this point, many people in the carriage started chatting with their companions. The conversation between one pair of girls, in particular, caught Su Yan’s attention.

"Xinxin, did you follow this year’s Nanjiang Province Evolution Department college entrance exam? I heard there was a huge upset; the top scorer came from Luo City."

"Of course, I did! I even went to the venue to watch it live."

"Is the top scorer handsome?"

"Extremely handsome. In my twenty years of life, I’ve never seen anyone so good-looking."

"It’s just that he’s a bit..."
