228. Chapter 228: Obtaining Hu Liena

Gu Yue Na heard this, seeing that Hu Liena sincerely liked Qianxunji, she also didn't want to continue making things difficult for Qianxunji, so she loosened her grip that had been pulling Qianxunji's ear.

However, she still gave Qianxunji a glare, raised her eyebrows, and said:

"Hmph, I entrust Na'er to you, but you must take it easy—Na'er doesn't have a dragon's body like mine; one slip and she'll die."

Saying this, Gu Yue Na lowered her gaze slowly and said coldly:

"If anything happens to Na'er, I, the grandaunt, will be the first to break your leg."

"Hiss!" Qianxunji sucked in a breath of cold air and immediately promised:

"Rest assured, Na'er is so alluring, so beautiful, so delicate—I, Qianxunji, will definitely cherish her."

"Really?" This time Bibidong interjected:

"Master, when you hit me before, you beat me to the brink of death—if I was even slightly disobedient, you made my blood flow."

"Even my buttocks were swollen from your beating."

Hu Liena listened to Bibidong's terrifying description, and her gaze at Qianxunji grew even more fearful.

She also instinctively stepped back a step.

Qianxunji heard this, patted Bibidong's shoulder, and said:

"Donger, weren't you disobedient back then? Not listening to the master, he naturally had to give you a good beating."

"But Na'er is so obedient; the master will treat her well."

"I hope so." Bibidong said, though doubt still lingered in her eyes.

Qianxunji then glanced at the alluring, moving Hu Liena, his eyes burning with heat, and spoke:

"Donger, Gu Yue Na, you two go play in the garden—I'll take good care of Na'er."

"Alright. But remember, you must treat Na'er better, or else when I and Donger return we'll definitely break your leg."

Gu Yue Na gave a worried reminder, then she and Bibidong left the room.

They certainly didn't want to leave, but staying here and listening to Hu Liena's painful screams later would be unbearable.

So they simply decided: out of sight, out of mind.

When they reached the door, Gu Yue Na and Bibidong pitifully gave Hu Liena one last look, sighed, shook their heads, and said:

"Na'er, take care!"

Having said that, Gu Yue Na and Bibidong turned and hurried away.

Hu Liena deeply noticed the pitiful looks Gu Yue Na and Bibidong gave her, and heard them shake their heads saying 'take care'.

Thus, her gaze at Qianxunji grew even more fearful, and she kept stepping backward.

Qianxunji noticed Hu Liena's movements, knowing she had heard what Gu Yue Na and Bibidong just said, and must already be terrified of his Steel Body.

So he stepped forward a few paces to stand before Hu Liena, placed both hands on her fragrant shoulders, and whispered:

"Na'er, are you a little afraid of me?"

Hu Liena heard this, nodded slightly, and dared not look at Qianxunji.

Hu Liena really wanted to shout, 'I'm not just a little afraid of you—I'm terrified to the extreme.'

At this moment, Hu Liena thought of the impending storm, and even began to regret agreeing to Qianxunji's request, regretting following him to the Pope's Quarters.

Qianxunji pinched Hu Liena's pointed chin, gazed at her mouth‑watering alluring face, and indulged:

"Rest assured, Elder Brother Qian will treat you well."

"Really?" Hu Liena's tempting red lips opened, her moist little lilac tongue flicked out, and she asked in a low voice.

"Of course."

Qianxunji waved his big hand, the heavy door of the secret chamber swung open, and he led Hu Liena toward it.

Hu Liena had never entered the secret chamber before; now, seeing its dim interior, she felt it was like a vast abyss about to swallow her.

If Qianxunji weren't holding her, Hu Liena would certainly be unable to move.

"Thud… thud… thud…"

The secret chamber was very quiet—you could hear a pin drop—and the two of their footsteps were clearly audible.

Even Hu Liena could feel her own heartbeat.

Hu Liena anxiously surveyed the surroundings; the secret chamber was huge, with moonstones around emitting a faint glow, giving the atmosphere an ambiguous feel.

A long table, several chairs, a bathroom; in the middle of the secret chamber stood a large bed, on which lay……

"Ah!"

Suddenly, Hu Liena looked at the bed and let out a terrified scream, her voice full of fear.

"Na'er, what's wrong?"

Qianxunji saw the sudden scream, Hu Liena's face full of fright, and hurriedly asked.

"There!" Hu Liena pointed to the center of the secret chamber, where a girl lay on the bed.

And on the bed were some fresh bloodstains clearly visible, even on the long table there were some blood marks.

Moreover, this girl was someone Hu Liena had never seen before, lying motionless on the bed, with bloodstains all over it.

Hu Liena felt that this girl was already dead.

"Dead—who is she? She's dead!"

Hu Liena trembled, her delicate body shaking, and stammered.

Qianxunji noticed that Hu Liena's fear stemmed from herself, and patiently explained:

"Na'er, she is Zhu Zhuqing, a noble from the Star Luo Empire."

"Besides, he isn't dead—he's seriously injured and is now in a deep sleep."

"Precisely because of the serious injury, plus lack of rest, he lies there motionless—even your scream didn't wake him."

"Ah, so that's how it is, as long as she's not dead, as long as she's not dead." Hu Liena patted her own chest and let out a breath.

She had thought the girl named Zhu Zhuqing in front of her was dead.

However, Hu Liena looked at the bloodstains around Zhu Zhuqing and suddenly realized that even if she wasn't dead, it was still pretty creepy.

And Qian Ge said Zhu Zhuqing had suffered serious injuries; she didn't even wake up from her own scream just now, showing how severe the injury was.

And the secret room belongs to Qianxunji, so the culprit behind the girl's serious injury is……

Thinking this, Hu Liena's gaze turned to Qianxunji.

Qianxunji knew Hu Liena was scared, but he couldn't be bothered to explain patiently, so he said:

"Na'er, let's rest."

"Ah, so direct? Aren't we supposed to get married first?" Hu Liena looked at Qianxunji, bewildered, and asked doubtfully.

"Na'er, didn't your teacher tell you? Qian Ge always boards the ship first and buys the ticket later."

As soon as his words fell, Qianxunji directly picked up Hu Liena and walked toward the center of the secret room.

Hu Liena, held by Qianxunji, knowing the fate that was about to come, thinking of her master's and Gu Yue Na's words, felt extremely fearful, her body trembling with fear.

But she dared not resist, because deep down she also wanted it.

However, Hu Liena looked toward Zhu Zhuqing and said:

"Qian Ge, Zhu Zhuqing is still here."

Qianxunji, hearing this, said half-truthfully:

"It's fine, Qinger has suffered serious injuries and has fallen into a deep sleep, she won't wake up."

Hu Liena: "........"

Hu Liena was speechless; who sleeps that deeply? She then looked resentfully at Qianxunji and said:

"I believe your ghost, you damn old bastard, you're so evil……"
