Soon.
As the train stopped and the carriage doors opened,
Li Yi raised his head and listened carefully. Outside, there were only passengers boarding and alighting, all maintaining silence, with no dog barking sounds as Yang Wei had ntioned.
"It seems it’s not this station." He thought to himself, then lowered his head and continued studying the Tao Skill Book.
Who boarded or got off at the station was of no concern to Li Yi.
Soon.
A new passenger entered his carriage, a woman with a striking figure, heavily made-up, holding a cigarette holder. It didn’t take long for the carriage to be filled with the scent of perfu and powder—an intense scent that made others uncomfortable.
Li Yi paid no attention, continuing to study his Tao Skill Book.
However, the other three passengers kept glancing at the striking woman, wondering if she was human or a monster wearing a human disguise.
"Does it look good?" the woman exhaled a mouthful of smoke, chuckling as she spoke.
"Don’t get wrong, I’m just ensuring you’re not dangerous."
The young man in a leather jacket and sunglasses said, "There was a demon in this carriage just now, but fortunately, that gentleman killed it; otherwise, we would all have been in trouble. By the way, my na is Sun Fei. And you are?"
The striking woman didn’t answer imdiately but looked curiously at Li Yi on the opposite seat, showing surprise: "To single-handedly kill a demon is truly remarkable. A demon’s scream can attack the soul, their body can regenerate strongly, and they can also change appearance and hide in buildings, posing great danger. Many adventurers have died at the hands of demons."
"However, I’ve heard that demons like to adorn themselves with expensive jewelry. Killing them can earn so rare jewelry, which often has special effects."
Saying this, the woman blew another smoke ring, smiling, "Is the gentleman interested in making a deal with ? I really like the jewelry from demons."
Li Yi glanced at her without responding.
The woman’s smile dimd slightly, feeling a bit displeased.
Sun Fei imdiately said, "The gentleman has strong skills; the demon barely had a chance to retaliate. Miss, perhaps you should find soone else to trade with. I also have a gold ring here. Are you interested?"
He took out a gold ring from his pocket, featuring peculiar patterns and looking sowhat unusual.
"Your gold ring is a piece of trash. I’m not interested in such trash. You should keep it for yourself."
The woman glanced at it and then said with a smile. She didn’t disturb Li Yi anymore and didn’t converse with others, just casually crossed her legs, smoked, and looked bored out the window.
Seeing this, Sun Fei sighed in relief.
His intention wasn’t to sell the ring but to prevent this mysterious woman from clashing with the man with silver pupils.
That man could shatter the air with his bare hands; if provoked, a single punch wouldn’t be enough for everyone in this carriage.
As the train slowly started moving again,
The carriage returned to a state of calm.
No one spoke anymore, and no one tried to break the silence; each person just passed the ti, waiting for their respective stations.
However, as ti passed, the woman was still puffing smoke, filling the carriage with a heavy scent of perfu mixed with smoke, gradually pervading every corner. Initially, everyone was sowhat repulsed by the sll, but over ti, they gradually adapted and accepted it.
About half an hour later.
The woman suddenly stood up, smiling, and leisurely walked over to Sun Fei’s side, reaching to search his body.
Sun Fei, seeing this scene, imdiately wanted to resist, but to his horror, he found that his body had lost sensation at so point and couldn’t move.
"Don’t waste your energy; after half an hour of my perfu, it’s quite impressive just to keep your mind clear, let alone move," the woman said with a smile, retrieving the previously ntioned gold ring from him, alongside a pouch filled with gleaming gold coins.
She also took off his sunglasses, hanging them in front of herself.
Her actions were fluid, as if reclaiming her belongings.
"Perfu is the problem?" Sun Fei’s eyes turned; he felt both alard and angry.
He realized he had been tricked.
After taking many valuables from Sun Fei, the woman then collected money and valuables from the other two passengers, finally setting her eyes on Li Yi.
"Indeed, the most delicious prey should be savored last." The woman licked her red lips, feeling that today’s train ride was worthwhile, catching a big fish.
However, as soon as she approached,
Li Yi raised his head, his silver, vertical pupils suddenly staring at her.
This sight made the woman stumble back in fright, and the confident composure on her face vanished.
"Bluffing... Being the closest, you should already be immobilized. Even if you can barely move, it shouldn’t be a threat. Don’t worry, I’m only after money, I won’t hurt you. After all, eting in this world is fate, why not give sothing as a keepsake?"
The woman puffed another smoke circle, supporting her waist as she stood aside, not daring to approach Li Yi.
Soone capable of killing a demon is always to be feared.
Perhaps she should have more patience and wait a bit longer.
"If you reach out towards , I’ll slice you in two. Don’t think your tricks are impressive; in front of , they don’t amount to much." Li Yi slowly closed the Tao Skill Book and then spoke.
The woman’s face changed drastically at this,
Realizing that her tricks seed ineffective against the man before her.
But then she smiled, "If you’ve seen through my tricks, why didn’t you stop earlier?"
"I don’t like interfering in others’ business. Besides, in this harsh world, everyone has their way of surviving; they didn’t see through and got tricked. That’s their own lack of skill," Li Yi glanced at her and said.
"You’re quite an interesting person. Let’s get acquainted; I’m You Girl." She stepped closer, smiling as she offered her hand.
"I’m not interested in you and don’t want to get acquainted. You should get off at the next station; I doubt you’re welco in this carriage." Li Yi said.
You Girl retracted her hand, then squinted with a smile, "Is it that you don’t want to know , or that you can’t even lift your hand now?"
