Chapter 458: 458, Extremely Yin Night (5) (Second Update)

But Aaron didn’t care at all. Holding his phone in one hand and clutching his heart with the other, he said, "Chuyi, such words really break my heart! The moment I saw your message, I flew back to Hua Nation immediately. I can sacrifice my life and shed my blood for you, how can you speak of me like this?"

With a hooked corner of her mouth, Zheng Chuyi responded, "If you can’t even deal with a lowly commoner, what are you if not a waste of space?"

"Chuyi," Aaron began with a smile, half-joking, half-serious, "Am I really that worthless in your heart? I know I can’t compare to Mo Zhixuan, but am I really that bad?"

Beauties are meant to be conquered.

Aaron liked Zheng Chuyi, so he would think of every possible way to conquer her. As the saying goes, ’Even if I die under a peony, I will be a romantic ghost.’

Over time, even Aaron himself didn’t know if what he felt was love or just fondness.

But he was fixated on having her.

Having her.

No matter the cost.

It had become an obsession in his heart.

"You want to impress me?" Zheng Chuyi closed her eyes briefly and then continued, "Fine, then show me some real strength. I give you three days to bring me Chu Jin’s corpse. Can you do it?"

The gentle female voice passed through the phone’s screen and entered Aaron’s ears clearly.

Zheng Chuyi never concealed her true nature in front of Aaron.

Yet it was this aspect of her that made Aaron unable to extricate himself.

Because both he and Zheng Chuyi were the same kind of people: ruthless and born from bloodshed.

Aaron let out a light laugh, his expression serious as he said, "Chuyi, I want to see you."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Chuyi also laughed shortly, replying coldly, "You want to see me? Do you think you’re worthy?"

"Chuyi, it’s been three years, and you’re still so heartless," Aaron’s voice sounded somewhat forlorn.

And wasn’t that just because he loved this cold and merciless her?

Compared to other women, Zheng Chuyi was not only beautiful but also genuine.

Even though he knew she was only using him, he was still willing to give her everything, including his life and fortune.

And Zheng Chuyi, she had grasped this very point.

If there was a fool willing to give her everything, then she would certainly not waste such resources.

"Enough," Zheng Chuyi continued, "it’s useless to talk too much. Unless you come see me with Chu Jin’s corpse in tow, let’s never meet again."

Her words were extremely decisive, with no hint of jest.

Given Aaron’s capabilities, even with the mysterious man in black supporting Chu Jin, it shouldn’t be difficult.

After listening, Aaron’s face showed a troubled expression. From the confrontation that day with Chu Jin, it wasn’t going to be easy to deal with her.

If they were to fight one-on-one, he suspected it would be hard to determine a winner.

All these years, he had only ever been bested by Mo Zhixuan.

And now, there was Chu Jin.

A woman at that.

For the first time in his life, Aaron had lost to a woman.

The feeling... was indescribable.

Partly thrilling.

And partly... nerve-wracking.

He was eager to face her in battle again.

Yet feared failure.

And involuntarily, the vision of her face, carved as if from jade, surfaced in his mind—

Those icy cold methods.

And the last scene, where the corner of her mouth curved into a sinister yet challenging smile.

She was indeed an interesting adversary.

And also the first beauty of the nation.

If there were no Zheng Chuyi in this world,

Then he would surely have fallen madly in love with her.

Unfortunately, with Zheng Chuyi there, no other angel could catch his eye.

To him, all the women in the world, except for Zheng Chuyi, were nothing but tools for warming the bed and satisfying lust.

Greed, selfishness, opportunism, fantasies, vanity, jealousy—these were their labels.

Millions of women couldn’t compare to a single Zheng Chuyi.

After thinking it over, Aaron said, "We need a long-term plan for this; Chu Jin is no ordinary person. I misjudged her before. Chuyi, if you trust me, then meet with me first. I guarantee my life as a pledge, and next time, I definitely won’t let you down."

There was silence on the other end of the line for a minute, "Do you really want to see me that much?"

"Of course, Chuyi, you are the love of my life..."

Before Aaron could finish, Zheng Chuyi cut him off directly, "Enough, save those disgusting words for the flirts around you."

"Chuyi, so will you see me?" Aaron pressed on.

"Do you have a good plan?" Zheng Chuyi countered without answering, reaching out to pick a rose and carefully smelling it by her nose.

The fragrance of flowers was intoxicating.

Aaron spoke gravely, "What about my apprentice, Chu Jin? With such a valuable card in hand, Chuyi, being as clever as you are, why not make good use of it?"

Mentioning Chu Jin was a mistake.

The very mention of Chu Jin made Zheng Chuyi even angrier; that waste had been exposed before she could even take pride in her, what a waste of her careful planning.

"You taught that disciple yourself, don’t you know what kind of person she is?" Zheng Chuyi asked coldly, then continued, "Three days later, with Chu Jin’s corpse, meet me at Zen Palace!"

With that, she hung up the call.

There were probably very few people who dared to hang up on him with such fury, except for Zheng Chuyi.
