Chapter 346: Long Ming Savagely Beats Hu Yueer

Putting away the Dragon Blood Fruit seed, Chen Chuyang marveled inwardly that his mother was a treasure basin, holding many good things in her hands, bringing out a little at a time; this time the Dragon Blood Fruit she brought out was startling, likely because she saw he could perfectly cultivate Dragon Blood Rice and recognized that Chen Chuyang's planting ability was somewhat formidable, only then was she willing to bring it out.

Neither wanted to waste such a fine seed; she only had one seed in her hand, and once it was gone, it was gone.

"The Dragon Blood Fruit's cultivation cycle is somewhat long, and maturation is even more drawn-out; if you want to eat Dragon Blood Fruit, it might be decades from now, but if cultivated properly with sufficient dragon blood, it can accelerate the Dragon Blood Fruit's growth cycle. How exactly to cultivate it and how to accelerate the Dragon Blood Fruit's growth is up to you."

"Mother only has this one seed; if it's ruined, it's gone. You must be careful. Dragon Blood Fruit seeds are very rare—there's no such thing out there."

"Also, don't tell anyone else about this matter. Dragon Blood Fruit is tied to many things; it's best not to let outsiders know."

She stressed the word "outsiders" heavily; as to who exactly she meant, Chen Chuyang knew well in his heart.

"Your child understands."

Heishanyang wanted to leave; here, it was also an outsider—no, an outer beast.

Shang Hongxue's face flushed shyly; she was one of their own, not an outsider, so she could listen, listen openly and legitimately, no longer having to consciously withdraw whenever she encountered something important as before.

Long Ming reminded again: "In short, you must be careful. Don't trust outsiders, and don't be overly kind. Toward certain people, if they must be killed, then kill them."

"If you can't bring yourself to do it, you can let Mother handle it."

Chen Chuyang sensed his mother's killing intent and hurriedly comforted her, telling her not to be angry. Chen Chuyang naturally knew what his mother meant; this killing intent was directed at Hu Yueer and the other two—a family of three who, if not for bearing the Chen Clan's bloodline, she would have killed long ago.

Lest they be an eyesore.

Shang Hongxue stared blankly at Long Ming, sighing inwardly: "Mother is so domineering."

She liked it very much.

This kind of mother was the role model she should learn from; in the future, she wanted to be just like Mother, exuding domineering aura.

"By the way, why are those three kneeling on the ground?"

Chen Chuyang smiled bitterly—there was no avoiding it. The woman his father had provoked was not simple, always giving him difficult problems. Since his mother asked, Chen Chuyang couldn't not answer, so he told her everything in full detail, without the slightest concealment.

He certainly wouldn't deceive his own mother for the sake of outsiders, nor would he save face for his father; that was his father's business, not his. Hu Yueer had gone too far this time, and Chen Chuyang had long been dissatisfied.

Long Ming's eyes narrowed, and killing intent gathered once more.

"Son, why not hand it over to Mother to resolve."

"Mother, you're not going to kill them, are you?"

Chen Chuyang was somewhat worried; if he killed them, it would be hard to explain to his father's side, and if his parents' relationship suffered as a result, his problems would be enormous.

The Chen Clan could not afford problems for now, nor could it fall into chaos.

His parents were the key; the reason he let Hu Yueer and the others stay here was precisely to ease his parents' relationship.

If Mother actually killed all three of them, this matter would become irreconcilable.

Better that he kill them himself.

After all, they were his own father's bloodline, his brothers and sisters; Chen Chuyang still couldn't bring himself to be so ruthless. Not everyone could launch a Xuanwu Gate Incident, and not everyone could personally slay their own siblings.

Those two children were still young and didn't understand anything; there was no need…

"Hmph, a mere little fox seductress dares to threaten my son. Does she think the Chen Clan is a place where she can run wild?"

"Rest assured, son, Mother won't kill them."

After saying this, Long Ming headed toward Hu Yueer and the others.

Chen Chuyang reached out his hand, but it was already too late; he could only stand in place and watch how his mother would resolve it.

The scene that followed left Chen Chuyang greatly shocked.

Mother took direct action—without a word, she just started beating.

Lifting her up and beating her savagely, every one of Hu Yueer's methods was useless; apart from taking a beating, it was still taking a beating, unable to fight back, unable to attack—bloodline suppression, strength suppression; her methods looked utterly pitiful.

Whatever charm, whatever transformation—all of it was empty.

The beating lasted for half a shichen; Mother measured her strikes, only beating Hu Yueer savagely without laying a hand on the two children, merely intimidating them so they could neither act nor approach.

Shang Hongxue said excitedly: "Mother is so formidable! Brother Chuyang, did you see? Mother is amazing!"

Hu Yueer had offended many people; her behavior was clearly meant to embarrass Brother Chuyang. Everyone who made Brother Chuyang unhappy was going against her, Shang Hongxue. If not for Hu Yueer being an elder, she would have taught her a lesson long ago.

Mother Long Ming taking action was naturally unrestrained; she wouldn't worry about this or that—just beat away.

Status? Excuse her, she was the principal wife, of noble standing. Even if Hu Yueer entered the Chen Clan, she would still be a concubine, and a concubine's status was like that of pigs and dogs—beat or kill as one pleased; even if killed, no one would say anything.

This was the status of a concubine—no status at all, only slightly above some maids.

"I want to be just as formidable as Mother in the future."

As she spoke, the little girl glanced at Chen Chuyang, as if saying: Brother Chuyang, you'd better not do anything to wrong me in the future, otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite.

The little girl clenched her fists, threatening Chen Chuyang.

Chen Chuyang pressed one hand on the little girl's head and laughed: "Don't worry, your Brother Chuyang can't bear to part with you. How could I make my wife miserable?"

"Hehe." Shang Hongxue's face flushed red, the corners of her eyes crinkling up.

She was very happy, truly very happy.

Leaning close to Chen Chuyang, she just knew that Brother Chuyang was the best to her.

Mother soon returned, unclenching her fists, and said directly: "Done. She won't dare act up anymore."

Sure enough, Hu Yueer's family of three was no longer kneeling and had gone back to work.

Their obedient manner was quite comical.

Chen Chuyang nodded in satisfaction—it still took Mother's intervention; look how obedient they were.

"If she dares to threaten you in the future, tell Mother, and Mother will deal with her. A mere fox seductress dares to threaten my son."

"That little fox who doesn't know her place—I'm still here. When did the Chen Clan become a place for her to call the shots?"

Hu Yueer, who was working, heard this remark; Long Ming had deliberately spoken loudly to warn her.

Hu Yueer's body trembled as she kept her head down and worked; the two children behind her worked even more diligently, not daring to make a sound.

Seeing this from the foot of the mountain, Liu Yuer silently gave a thumbs up in her heart.

"Chen Shen, did you see? Eldest Sister-in-law is so formidable, so domineering!"

She finally understood why Chen Shen was so afraid of this sister-in-law—when she struck, she was truly ruthless.

She would beat you half to death outright; no matter how you begged for mercy, it was useless.

She would beat you until you submitted; this kind of method, this sort of domineering behavior, Liu Yuer liked very much.

From now on, she must not offend her sister-in-law; following her sister-in-law around, she could eat three meals a day.
