Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 474: Timing

"Who are you?" Xie Chengming shook his head vigorously, a flash of brutality in his eyes.

Xia Mian looked at him with a smile, "Isn’t that something I should be asking you?"

As Xia Mian’s words fell, her face turned cold, "Hurry up and get out of his body!"

The entity possessing Xie Chengming realized, even with its slow mind, that this woman and man before him were here for the body he had occupied!

This guy, though appearing simple, was sharp at crucial moments, "You’re dreaming! You better save me, or I’ll drag him to die with me!"

The entity knew clearly that once it left the body, its residual soul would be crushed by this couple!

Right now, its only advantage was occupying this body, which seemed to matter to the couple!

"Are you negotiating with me?" Xia Mian’s eyes turned slightly cold, her smile as chilly as a winter wind.

For some reason, the entity possessing Xie Chengming felt a chill seeing Xia Mian’s smile!

Even though it was much older than the duo combined, it still sensed extreme danger from them!

"This isn’t negotiation; this body is mine now. You can choose not to save it." The entity’s tone remained tough.

Xia Mian lightly curved her lips, "Alright, you said it yourself."

With that, Xia Mian took Lu Zechuan’s hand and withdrew from the clearing, sitting under a big tree.

Though the Ancient Wood Forest exuded strangeness, the couple seemed like they were on vacation, sitting quietly under the tree without a hint of panic, even with a menacing face on the trunk staring at them intensely.

In contrast, he found himself gradually sinking, as if being pulled by something...

Panicking, he used all his efforts to reach for the vines, but unfortunately, his powers were halved after taking over Xie Chengming’s body, preventing him from reaching them!

Cold sweat started to form on his forehead, and when he looked up at the pair, they still appeared utterly unafraid, as if nothing mattered to them.

He couldn’t break free, and his residual soul was too weak to perform magic.

To make matters worse, the soul of the body’s owner was still present, now trying to regain control!

He regretted it intensely now!

After seizing the body, he should have gone somewhere to thoroughly absorb the soul before planning further!

Now he had to deal with this troublesome situation and defend against the soul ready to stab him in the back!

The guy was furious and anxious, but his body continued to sink. He dared not even move.

Seeing over half of his body sunk, he couldn’t help but roar at Xia Mian, "Aren’t you his friends? Are you going to watch him die?!"

Xia Mian raised her eyebrows lightly, "Who told you he’s our friend?"

Xia Mian’s response made the entity stunned, not friends?

If not friends, why did this woman rush him to leave the person’s body?

Xia Mian, however, didn’t intend to explain and smiled again at him, "It doesn’t matter if you can’t come out, dead is dead anywhere."

As she finished speaking, her fingers moved slightly, and a surge of spiritual power gathered at her fingertips.

The face of the entity possessing Xie Chengming changed dramatically!

He thought his cultivation was strong enough, but in this forest, his magic would be restricted, while this couple could easily summon spiritual power without any environmental limits!

In a moment of distraction, Xia Mian’s pointed finger landed on his forehead!

He felt a blinding whiteness in front of him, his soul seemingly pinned deep in his consciousness, unable to move at all.

The next moment, the white light, as if with massive suction, pulled his soul, dragging it out of Xie Chengming’s body...

As his soul was drawn out of Xie Chengming’s body, Lu Zechuan casually moved a hand, and a vine fell from the sky, pulling Xie Chengming out!

A small old man with graying hair was stuck to Xia Mian’s Spiritual Light Rope.

The little old man, sporting a goatee, bounced on the rope, "Let me go! Let me go!"

Xia Mian tilted her head thoughtfully, looking at the little old man, "Let you go? You still owe me two Earth Treasures, don’t you want to pay?"

The little old man was so angry his beard fluffed, and his eyes widened, baring his teeth and claws, but Xia Mian’s Spiritual Light Rope possessed a magical power that strongly suppressed his soul.

He had no ability to resist.

The little old man began to doubt life, had the outside world become so dangerous after all these years of being trapped here?

This young-looking couple had such profound cultivation; what about those older than them?

"How is it shirking? I told you where the Earth Treasure is. If you can’t retrieve it, that’s your issue, what’s it got to do with me!" The little old man was irate, especially being trapped and immobile by Xia Mian.

Xia Mian’s bright eyes shimmered like stars, casually shaking the Spiritual Light Rope in her hand, causing the little old man to bounce like an insect on a string.

The little old man felt his soul was about to be shaken apart.

On the ground, Xie Chengming gradually woke up and seeing the little old man controlled by Xia Mian, shame washed over his face, "Miss, I caused you trouble."

He had foolishly thought a residual soul couldn’t do much to him, believing he could reclaim control after using the soul to help him find treasure.

Never expecting, the old man tried to possess him after taking his body!

Luckily, he had the life-saving token from Miss Xia; otherwise, this body might no longer be his.

Xia Mian lowered her eyes to look at him, "Next time, don’t do something so risky."

Xia Mian didn’t scold him but showed concern!

A warm current flowed through Xie Chengming’s heart.

Since Xia Mian took over the auction house, he always thought she kept him for his abilities, making him want to prove himself without her disdain.

But now, after he encountered danger, Xia Mian personally came seeking him!

One could die for a confidant.

In the future, he would not shy away from facing any challenge for Xia Mian.
