Chapter 1154: [(857)] Wronged Female Strong Thief (Thanks to Xiaowudeai for the reward support)

The night wind swept through the entire long street.

The lights in the room flickered several times, revealing an unmistakable murderous intent.

As the woman in the black dress spoke, the temperature of the entire room seemed to drop significantly.

Yet Pei Jinye deliberately showed a chagrined expression on his face: “How dare you come! Are you not afraid of losing your life? Big sister, I’m just an ordinary Matrix Controller, that box must have already been taken by Eternal Night by now. Otherwise, if I could open it, would Eternal Night let me go?”

The black-dressed woman stared at Pei Jinye expressionlessly, as if trying to see right through whatever he was really thinking.

Had he really not opened it?

She also had her doubts.

But Pei Jinye then said angrily: “You have good methods, abandoning me last night and even secretly arranging for someone to knock me out and kidnap me.”

The black-dressed woman was startled.

She had not arranged for others.

It was only because she was injured by that woman last night that she had to flee in embarrassment.

“Could it be… there’s someone else involved?”

Pei Jinye was purposely describing the Matrix Controller as an underling arranged by the black-dressed woman, clearly, he was doing this to diminish his own presence.

With his current methods, not to mention the Cloud Sky Level, even if it were a Cave Heaven Level powerhouse… He would only have the option to flee.

But unexpectedly, the black-dressed woman suddenly scoffed: “You’re lying to me!”

Pei Jinye replied nonchalantly: “Lying to you? Ah yes, yes, yes.”

As if resigning himself to his fate, he muttered softly: “Almighty and powerful, yet somewhat dim-witted. If I could have opened that box, wouldn’t Eternal Night cherish me?”

The black-dressed woman narrowed her eyes.

Once again, she felt uncertain.

Pei Jinye looked up at her and said suspiciously: “Was the person who kidnapped me last night really not arranged by you?”

The black-dressed woman disdained to answer.

Pei Jinye mused to himself: “If it wasn’t you who arranged it, then it’s a terrible thing.”

At this, the black-dressed woman seemed to be piqued with interest and coldly said: “Explain.”

Pei Jinye looked up and pondered: “First of all, I really don’t know you all, and I didn’t know what the black box was before this, even now I’m puzzled by what exactly this thing is.”

“Get to the point,” the black-dressed woman interjected coldly.

Pei Jinye, feeling helpless under her influence, came back to his senses and said: “Think about it, coming here was your own decision, then you attracted the people from Eternal Night, and a great battle ensued between you… All the while, a third party was secretly watching, and you didn’t notice them, even when they broke through the Array and took me away, you didn’t realize.”

“I was distracted by that woman’s Sword Array, otherwise it would have been impossible for me not to notice,” the black-dressed woman suddenly said coldly.

Pei Jinye, finding it amusing that she was trying to save face, felt a sense of amusement in his heart.

Now that the Spirit seed of Matrix had awakened, he vaguely felt that the woman was using a False Array Method and her true identity was not as it seemed.

But outwardly, he showed no sign, just shaking his head: “The other party was very secretive, they knocked me out by force… My guess is they couldn’t open the black box either. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have taken me away, they should have killed me on the spot.”

The black-dressed woman’s face was expressionless, and it was impossible to tell if she believed Pei Jinye’s words.

But Pei Jinye knew she did.

“I don’t know the identity of the other party; I initially thought they were sent by you, but now it seems their strength does not qualify them to be your underling.”

“Why do you say that?” The black-dressed woman seemed somewhat interested.

Pei Jinye shook his head: “It’s just an intuition, you give off the impression of a Holy Lotus on God Mountain, noble and untouchable, not something those who skulk in the shadows are worthy to defile.”

“Just your fancy words!” The black-dressed woman scoffed reproachfully.

But in reality, the corners of her mouth curved up slightly.

Obviously, she was pleased.

She changed the subject.

“In that case, who do you think they could be from?”

Pei Jinye said with a bitter smile: “Senior, you’ve stumped me with that question. I’m but a lowly skilled individual, how would I know how splendid the outside world is. I just want to guard my own small plot of land, save some money, and in a few years marry and have children, laying down roots quietly in this small county.”

“Unambitious,” the black-dressed woman immediately voiced her disdain.

Pei Jinye was not angered: “Senior is powerful, not someone I can compare to.”

The black-dressed woman snorted coldly and suddenly flicked her finger.

Before Pei Jinye could react, a faint light shot directly into Pei Jinye’s mouth.

“What have you done to me!” Pei Jinye’s face filled with shock.

The black-dressed woman said indifferently: “I’ve given you the Gut-Breaking Gu. Watch your mouth, don’t speak carelessly, otherwise, not even a God Immortal could save you.”

Pei Jinye said speechlessly: “Senior, where did yesterday’s boldness go? I’m such a weak Matrix Controller, how could I pose any threat to you? Why waste such Gu on me?”

Upon hearing it was a Gu, Pei Jinye’s own heart skipped a beat.

He wasn’t very familiar with many things in this world.

So he wasn’t sure if he could neutralize this type of Gu.

Such a nuisance.

A murderous intent surfaced in his heart.

However, it was soon suppressed by Pei Jinye.

He sighed and said: “Senior, speak plainly, what do you want me to do?”

“You can’t hide it from me,” the black-dressed woman said with a light chuckle. “Little Fox, but do you think you can deceive me? If you were truly content staying here, you wouldn’t have acquired so many materials from the trade depot… Your Matrix Strength is at least Third Class. Staying here would be beneath your abilities, come with me.”
