Chapter 2692 The Mad City Lord's Love-Hate Relationship 14

"He's nothing but a useless human, his soul is dim, he's not even worthy of being a mouthful for you, Lord City Lord. What would you want him for, Lord City Lord?"

Jin Chen pulled Yin Chaosheng into his arms, speaking intimately, his fingertips tracing Yin Chaosheng's cold, smooth cheek.

"If the city lord is in any displeasure, just come to me. Why bother arguing with humans?"

Yin Chaosheng scoffed, "What a joke."

His voice was cold and arrogant, "Every blade of grass and every tree in this ghost city, along with every wisp of spirit here, belongs to me. What's more, it belongs to you and this ignorant human."

Yin Chaosheng turned his head, his eerie pupils fixed on Jin Chen, surging with scarlet killing intent, "I will kill you, you arrogant mad dog, with my own hands sooner or later."

Jin Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, as if she had heard something amusing, and a playful smile curved her lips as the light seemed to casually sweep over Yin Chaosheng.

"Are you going to kill me again?"

These words were clearly pointed, and Yin Chaosheng recalled the humiliating and unfamiliar punishment he had received in the Ghost Prison, and the suppressed reaction showed signs of resurfacing.

He glared at Jin Chen, not daring to believe that this guy would actually bring it up to his face.

Yin Chaosheng's anger was truly terrifying. Liu Zhou, who was slumped in the corner, was intimidated by the terrifying pressure and wished he could bury himself in the floor tiles.

Yin Chaosheng glanced at the human with annoyance, about to lash out, when his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

Jin Chen noticed the change in his expression and called out towards the outside of the hall at the opportune moment, "Gu Baibai!"

A series of rapid clicking sounds rang out, and the pale white skeleton hurriedly squeezed in through the crack in the door.

It has just reassembled itself, but some of its ribs are not quite symmetrical.

"Take him to that empty room on the west side of the side hall and keep an eye on him. Nothing is allowed to come near him without my permission," Jin Chen said.

The white, hollow eye sockets of the bone looked at Yin Chaosheng. Seeing that the city lord was too lazy to pay attention, it quickly stepped forward, scooped up Liu Zhou, who was like soft mud on the ground, and dragged him out of the room like a sack. It even thoughtfully used its foot bones to hook and close the palace door.

Yin Chaosheng's attention, which had been slightly diverted as the human was taken away, was drawn back, and he was once again held tightly in Jin Chen's arms.

Yin Chaosheng struggled for a moment, but couldn't break free. Instead, he pressed even closer, his face sickly pale, which made him look even more translucent and fragile, like glass.

Jin Chen, still reluctant to let go, leaned in again and kissed the lips that always uttered cold words.

Yin Chaosheng turned his head away, and Jin Chen's kiss landed on the corner of his lips. He reacted quickly, opened his mouth, and bit his lips hard, the sweet and metallic taste spreading in his mouth.

Jin Chen winced in pain but did not back away. His laughter reached Yin Chaosheng's ears, "The city lord has a cruel heart."

He stuck out his tongue and licked away the drop of blood from his lips, staring intently at Yin Chaosheng. "The seven-day deadline is almost here. Is the city lord really willing to... not say a word to me?"

Yin Chaosheng scoffed coldly, turned his face away, not wanting to see his pretentious manner.

"I would love for you to be annihilated immediately and never be reincarnated."

Even so, Yin Chaosheng's gaze couldn't help but fall back to Jin Chen's brow, where the Netherworld Flower mark he had personally planted was still just a bud, like a decorative flower ornament. It hadn't even shown any signs of blooming or spreading.

This is truly illogical. The Netherworld Flower absorbs soul power and will bloom every seven days, causing the soul to scatter and the spirit to dissipate without exception.

But this ghost in front of me...

Yin Chaosheng's doubts grew stronger, and he inexplicably felt that this strange mark wouldn't kill Jin Chen.

Jin Chen's smile deepened as she embraced the cold body in her arms. Yin Chaosheng frowned uncomfortably, trying to avoid her again, but before their lips could even part slightly, Jin Chen's kiss landed on his chin.

"Get out of my way!" Yin Chaosheng finally couldn't hold back any longer and pressed down on Jin Chen's lips as he tried to kiss his neck. "I have important matters to attend to and don't have time to waste with you here!"

He's been really busy lately, and today, I don't know what possessed him, that he would personally come to this side hall and engage in this pointless scuffle with this mad dog.

Jin Chen stopped what he was doing and calmly straightened Yin Chaosheng's disheveled collar as he struggled. "Since the city lord has important matters to attend to, I naturally dare not delay."

He leaned close to Yin Chaosheng's ear and kissed him, his breath warm. "Then tonight... I will wait in the side hall for the city lord's summons."

Yin Chaosheng: "..."

Yin Chaosheng's temple throbbed slightly. He suddenly raised his hand, which was wrapped in a fierce ghostly aura, as if he wanted to slap that hateful face.

His wrist was intercepted in mid-air; Jin Chen gripped his wrist bone, preventing him from breaking free.

The dim light in the hall flowed between the two. Looking into Jin Chen's unfathomable amber eyes, Yin Chaosheng felt his violent temper subside slightly for some reason, and suddenly laughed again, his laughter tinged with an almost morbidly eerie quality.

He leaned closer, his lips and nose gently brushing against Jin Chen's cheek, a captivating and tender moment, his eyes filled with seductive allure.

The next instant, Yin Chaosheng bit Jin Chen's earlobe hard.

A sharp, stinging pain shot through him, and at the same time, an extremely cold and domineering aura flowed into Jin Chen's body through the bitten wound.

Yin Chaosheng's voice rang in his ears, strangely excited, "You dare to provoke me repeatedly... Jin Chen, you are too presumptuous."

Warm blood slid down Jin Chen's neck, leaving a winding red trail, but the color of the blood was far less than the almost overflowing scarlet madness surging in Yin Chaosheng's eyes.

Jin Chen smiled and raised her hand, dipping her fingertip into the blood on the side of her neck. She then smeared it forcefully on Yin Chaosheng's lips, and then upwards, onto his pale face. The blood spread across his skin, creating a breathtakingly alluring effect.

"Your words, City Lord, truly make me uneasy." Jin Chen's voice was tinged with laughter, but his eyes were dark. "If we don't do something tonight to appease your anger, it would be truly inexcusable."

Seeing that he was becoming increasingly audacious, Yin Chaosheng felt a strange itch rising within him. Too lazy to argue with this mad dog any longer, he coldly snorted and turned away.

Yin Chaosheng did not pursue the matter of the humans that Jin Chen had hidden, nor did he mention executing Jin Chen immediately again.

[The villain's heart rate is detected +10, totaling 28! 】

Jin Chen looked at the empty palace gate, the playful smile on his lips gradually fading. He raised his hand to touch his bleeding earlobe, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

A moment later, he got up and opened the door.

Gu Baibai sat by the door, idly tapping his pelvis with his finger bones, when he heard Jin Chen give an order.

"Go, think of a way to lure those guys guarding outside away and make some noise."

The ghostly light in his white eyes flickered with excitement; he loved doing this kind of mischievous job that required no responsibility.

"Alright, sir! Watch this!"

Bone White accepted the order and ran off with a clatter. Before long, it lured away the ghost soldiers patrolling and guarding the side hall with various pretexts.
