Chapter 5050

“Why did they attack me but not those two?” the green-robed man asked, clearly dissatisfied.

“I just don’t like you,” the white-robed woman replied with a cold smile.

“You…”

The green-robed man was furious, but he didn’t dare confront her.

She was from the Shura Palace, and likely stronger than him. Besides, he was injured now—far from able to fight. If things turned bad, he wouldn’t be able to escape.

“Maybe it’s because of the woman. Otherwise, why don’t you give it a try?” Tianci said to the white-robed woman.

Just earlier, Kai had been walking with Mo Qingyun, a woman, so the warrior statues hadn’t attacked.

Now, only the white-robed woman was female—so Tianci suggested she test the theory.

“If that’s the case, why don’t you try? Those two statues won’t attack either. Aren’t you basically half a woman yourself?”

The white-robed woman sneered.

“You…!”

Tianci’s face turned red with rage.

He hated being called feminine. Even though he dressed like a woman every day, he refused to let others point it out.

Perhaps geniuses from certain sects develop twisted personalities.

“If it’s really because of the woman, just have those two come back. Then let the boy—who’s only first-grade in the Sanxian Realm—go alone. That should make things clear, right?”

The white-robed woman said with a faint smile.

Upon hearing that, Tianci immediately called out to Kai and Mo Qingyun. “Sister Qingyun, both of you, please come back.”

Mo Qingyun stayed silent and didn’t move.

Kai looked at Tianci and asked, “What are you trying to do?”

“I’m just worried that you might get hurt. I mean no harm. But if you don’t come back… I might get angry.”

“And I think you know what happens when I’m angry.”

Tianci’s voice turned threatening.

Mo Qingyun, clearly frightened, gently tugged at the corner of Kai’s sleeve.

The memory of Tianci killing someone earlier still haunted her.

“Don’t be afraid, we’ll go back,” Kai whispered, comforting her.

Then, the two of them turned around and walked back.

As they did, Tianci’s eyes filled with murderous intent—he strongly wished he could kill Kai with a single blow.
But for now, Kai was still useful—Tianci wanted to use him as a guinea pig.

“You, walk back,” Tianci ordered Kai coldly.

“Damn, you’re really pushing it…” Kai muttered, feeling a flash of irritation.

“Die, or walk back. Your choice,” Tianci threatened.

Kai stared at him coldly. In his heart, Tianci was already marked for death. Sooner or later, Kai would find the right moment to kill him.

But now wasn’t the time. He couldn’t turn hostile yet.

Kai took a deep breath and prepared to walk back toward the stone platform.

“I’ll go with you…” Mo Qingyun stepped forward to follow, but Tianci blocked her and snapped, “Let him go alone.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”

Kai smiled at Mo Qingyun, then turned and walked alone toward the stone platform.

This time, Kai kept his eyes fixed on the two statues.

If they moved, he would dodge immediately.

Even a fifth-grade Tribulation Realm cultivator couldn’t survive a single blow. Kai knew better than to take that risk.

Step by step, he approached the stone platform cautiously.

The two statues did not attack, but their eyes followed him, turning in sync as he moved.

“Huh?”

Tianci frowned slightly.

The others were also puzzled, unable to figure out what was happening.

“It seems it has nothing to do with being a woman, then,” said the woman in white calmly.

“Then why? Why did they attack only me?”

The man in green was completely bewildered.

“Maybe it’s because I’m better-looking than you. That must be it,” Kai teased with a grin, standing tall on the platform.

Feeling the tension ease slightly, Kai relaxed a little.

“That’s nonsense! I’m way more handsome than you!”

The man in green snapped furiously.
