Before Ren Ningyue's words even finished, Ye Tianfan felt a tangible killing intent rush towards him. Originally, Ren Ningyue's skin was as cold as a corpse, with no heartbeat or pulse. Now, the killing intent emanating from such close proximity was truly chilling.

Even Ye Tianfan couldn't help but swallow hard, secretly thankful he hadn't undone the buttons on Ren Ningyue's clothes, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"I saw you were so seriously injured and wanted to check your wound," Ye Tianfan said truthfully. But in this situation, it was hard to convince anyone, especially as Ye Tianfan had one hand on Ren Ningyue's slender waist and the other on her left chest.

Although a poison dart had pierced Ren Ningyue's left chest, it had long since completely healed. Now, with Ye Tianfan's actions, it was difficult not to misinterpret him. Even though Ren Ningyue knew Ye Tianfan wouldn't do anything disgraceful to her, taking advantage was something he wouldn't hesitate to do.

"My injury doesn't require Young Master Ye's concern." Ren Ningyue abruptly sat up from the sofa and pushed Ye Tianfan aside.

"Hey, Ren Ningyue, you're taking a good deed for a liver of a donkey. I just wanted to check your wound for you."

Ye Tianfan quickly explained, but Ren Ningyue showed no intention of believing him: "Keep your liver of a donkey to yourself!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ren Ningyue turned to walk outside the lounge. When she reached the deck of the freighter, the stench of blood was still overwhelming.

"Qin Hu, dispose of the body."

Ren Ningyue frowned and waved a hand at Qin Hu.

Luckily, this was at sea, where disposing of a body was quite simple. Qin Hu carried the corpse of the Yama Hall elder, which had been cut in half, and effortlessly tossed it into the sea, and that was that.

At this moment, Ye Tianfan also emerged from the lounge, having inexplicably found a bottle of red wine, holding two wine glasses in his hand: "Miss Ren, care for a drink?"

Ye Tianfan was deeply intrigued by the bizarre occurrences surrounding Ren Ningyue. The Ye Family, being the pinnacle of Chinese medicine, had never encountered a woman like her before.

Her skin was cold, with no heartbeat or pulse, and despite sustaining a deadly injury, she could heal completely in a short time. It was utterly incredible. Even with the negative effects of the Soldier Project, it shouldn't reach this extent, should it? She was practically a monster.

Watching Ye Tianfan approach, Ren Ningyue's lips curled into a faint smile, unceremoniously taking a wine glass from Ye Tianfan's hand: "Young Master Ye's wine is worth drinking."

Ye Tianfan smiled without saying much, merely raising his hand to fill their glasses, then gently clinking his with Ren Ningyue's.

"Miss Ren, I want to know, what's going on with your body?" Ye Tianfan couldn't help but frown, directly voicing his concern.

However, Ren Ningyue simply smiled with a raised brow, took a sip of red wine, and before she could speak, she coughed lightly again.

"Cough cough cough..."

Seeing Ren Ningyue looking so sickly all the time, any man who saw her would feel pity, not to mention a playboy like Ye Tianfan.

"Ning Yue..."

"Don't call me so intimately."

Ye Tianfan had just called her name when a flash of killing intent appeared in Ren Ningyue's eyes, showing her clear dissatisfaction with the term of address.

Ye Tianfan shrugged helplessly: "Sorry."

Ren Ningyue's expression softened slightly, sipped her wine, and spoke: "Didn't you check my pulse during the charity ball last time?"

"Yes, but you didn't have a pulse." Ye Tianfan's face slightly darkened: "Earlier, when I placed my hand on your left chest, I found you didn't have a heartbeat either."

"You're very curious?" Ren Ningyue's eyebrows raised slightly, looking at Ye Tianfan.

"Of course I'm curious. Even with the negative effects of the Soldier Project, it shouldn't reach this point, should it?" Ye Tianfan pressed on.

But as soon as he said this, he had already touched upon a taboo of Ren Ningyue's.

"Ha, you even know about my participation in the Soldier Project. You've investigated me quite thoroughly." Ren Ningyue's heart already held three parts displeasure. Everyone has their privacy, especially those in the Celestial Punishment Team, who least like having their details pried into. Once your family background and past experiences are grasped by others, it feels like being on pins and needles.

Ye Tianfan noticed Ren Ningyue's displeasure and hurried to explain: "It was the Shadow Demon who told me on that day in the prison."

"Oh really?" Ren Ningyue's lips turned up in a cold smile, chilling to the bone.

"That Shadow Demon's asking for a beating again!"

Ren Ningyue's words made Ye Tianfan's heart skip a beat, realizing he had openly and ostentatiously betrayed the Shadow Demon. Ye Tianfan couldn't help but feel sorry for the Shadow Demon, guessing he'd probably run into bad luck soon.

Ren Ningyue glanced at Ye Tianfan and said, "Some things are better left unknown to you."

Ren Ningyue drained her glass of wine and turned to head back to the lounge, seemingly unwilling to continue her conversation with Ye Tianfan.

But Ye Tianfan persisted: "Miss Ren, maybe one day we'll all be comrades in the same trench. What's the harm in sharing a little secret? Maybe I can even cure your ailment."

Ren Ningyue stopped, slightly turned her head, her beautiful eyes looked back: "If you want to know my little secret, what will you exchange for it?"

Negotiation?

Ye Tianfan didn't expect Ren Ningyue to have a knack for business, but on second thought, the Ren Family was originally the largest business tycoon in the Guandong Province. Ren Ningyue came from a commercial family, so business acumen was naturally in her blood.

"What do you want to know?" Ye Tianfan looked at Ren Ningyue, a mischievous smile on his face, glanced downward, and said: "I can tell you a little secret, like...."

Ye Tianfan's words instantly provoked intense displeasure in Ren Ningyue. Her beautiful eyes, like sharp knives, cut towards Ye Tianfan, coldly snorting: "You should be thankful....."

Even across seven or eight meters, Ye Tianfan could feel the genuine killing intent emanating from Ren Ningyue. This woman was not joking; she really would take action!

Damn it!

No romance at all! Can't even tease her!

Ye Tianfan already began to regret his excitement-seeking, self-destructive behavior, hastily speaking: "Then Miss Ren, whatever you want to know, just ask. Of course, as an equivalent exchange, you also have to tell me what's up with your body."

"You're willing to say anything?" Ren Ningyue's willow-leaf eyebrows slightly raised, a sly smile gracing her lips, making Ye Tianfan instantly have three parts regretful thoughts, but a man of his word, what was said was done, so he bit the bullet.

"Miss Ren, just ask what you'd like."
