After Evan Chu stepped out of the room, he checked his surroundings and found no one was watching. He immediately began gulping down the fresh air outside.
After about five minutes, he quietly returned inside. This time, instead of absorbing Stellar Power, he blanketed his whole body with Chaos Qi, blocking the room's air from entering.
Evan Chu sat by the bed, patiently waiting, secretly amused: This time, I’ll play you to death. You dare use Soul-Bewildering Incense on me?
The wait was long. After nearly two hours, Evan Chu heard footsteps approaching. He quickly collapsed onto the bed, pretending to be asleep, and withdrew all his Chaos Qi into his body.
It wasn’t Selena who entered, which left Evan Chu a bit disappointed. The young maid watched him for a moment, then left, but Evan caught snippets of conversation outside.
"Auction Master, that kid has fallen fast asleep. There’s nothing unusual at all," the maid reported.
"I know. You may go," Selena replied.
Selena then entered the room, saw Evan Chu sprawled on the bed like a dead pig, and chuckled: "Weren’t you supposed to be so tough? Looks like you still fell for my trap."
"So many secrets on you... Today, you’re going to explain every single one to me!"
Evan Chu was secretly amused. If you want to uncover my secrets, this method is flawless—too bad you don’t know I have a powerful sword spirit body. I saw through your tricks ages ago. Let’s see how you plan to interrogate me.
Selena glanced at Evan Chu, a faint smile curling at her lips. She slowly raised her hands, then waved them in front of her chest. A stream of black energy shot from her palms, aimed straight at Evan Chu’s head.
Evan Chu was acutely aware of Selena’s every move. Even with his soul injured, at such close range he could sense everything clearly.
He recognized the black energy as demonic qi, but compared to what he’d encountered before—like the Extinction Heaven Demon Sword—it was far weaker.
"Evan, this demonic qi won’t affect you much. Just watch and see what happens!" Luna reminded him.
With Luna’s reassurance, Evan Chu relaxed even more, letting the demonic qi enter his body while secretly laughing to himself.
Soon Selena stopped, looked at Evan Chu, and smiled, "It’s time to ask him questions. Evan Chu, don’t let me down!"
Evan Chu chuckled inwardly, "Don’t worry, I won’t let you down. I’ll just make you so frustrated you cough blood!"
Selena lightly tapped Evan Chu’s forehead, then drew her hands back. Evan Chu sat up instantly, feeling a force he couldn’t resist—clearly coming from this veiled woman in front of him.
After sitting up, Evan Chu opened his eyes and saw Selena, but showed no reaction at all. He looked like an idiot—totally blank and vacant.
"Heh, the Soul-Bewildering Incense really works. Evan Chu, where are you from?" Selena began her questioning.
"Flowing Cloud City," Evan Chu replied weakly, his eyes dull and lifeless.
"Not bad—the effect is working!"
"Where did you get your Iceflame Crystal?" Selena cut to the main topic.
"I found it at the edge of a cliff," Evan Chu answered in that same flat tone, making it impossible for Selena to doubt him.
"A cliff? That’s impossible. The conditions for Iceflame Crystals to form are extremely harsh. Did you get it from someone else?" Selena muttered to herself.
She asked another question, "How did you know about the Demonic Yin Constitution? How did you know I’m from the Demonic Realm?" This was what Selena most wanted to know. If Evan Chu’s answer wasn’t satisfactory, she might get violent.
Evan Chu had anticipated this question. He’d already discussed with Luna how to answer, and now he was secretly amused—let’s see how I fool you.
"I was born with a Pure Yang Constitution, so I’m extremely sensitive to people with heavy yin energy. The first time I saw you, my Pure Yang Qi reacted differently—I knew you were special.
Plus, I have a natural ability to see through people’s true identities. Even though you hide your demonic qi well, I can easily spot it.
So I knew you were from the Demonic Realm, which means you must have the Demonic Yin Constitution. You’re exactly the kind of person I’ve been searching for. Women with the Demonic Yin Constitution can only marry men with the Pure Yang Constitution—otherwise, their demonic yin energy will explode their partner’s body and kill them." Evan Chu spoke slowly, watching Selena’s reaction.
