Chapter 97

"My lord..." Su Yao's eyes were filled with determination as she stared at the Azure Dragon Saint Son.

She possessed a resolute heart and had acted freely and spontaneously since childhood.

Moreover, she rarely showed a pleading demeanor.

The Azure Dragon Saint Son looked at that face he had long grown tired of, feeling not the slightest ripple in his heart.

Su Yao! Su Yao!

You actually chose to save that trash Su Chen.

Even if it implicates the entire Azure Dragon Holy Land, you wouldn't hesitate, would you?

It seems my decision to refine you into a medicine person was indeed correct; all these years I thought that by becoming your dao partner with such a lowly person, I could gain favor and obtain the Heavenly Mystic Dao Sect's sect-protection technique.

I never imagined that in the end I would gain nothing at all, and now you even want me to go to the Eastern Wasteland to rescue people for you?

Fortunately, I had foresight and had already sent people ahead to Yunhai City to seize Su Changfeng and interrogate him about the whereabouts of the Heaven-rank technique.

As for Su Chen…

Hah!

The Ye family of Qianyuan City reported the latest news: Su Chen not only escaped the city, but also fled the Myriad Beast Mountain Range, and is now presumed to have joined forces with Su Changfeng while carrying the inheritance.

I never expected that Su Chen would have such dumb luck, obtaining the inheritance of a Martial Emperor expert.

Unfortunately… the Azure Dragon Saint Son will absolutely not tell Su Yao this news, because he had already plotted; he intends to sacrifice familial ties for the greater good: "Alright, madam, I'll obey you."

"I will now issue orders to reorganize the holy land's brethren and go to Qianyuan City to rescue Su Chen."

"Your Hundred Medicines body has just formed the sword dao seed within; now is the time to calmly cultivate."

Upon hearing this, Su Yao immediately interrupted: "Isn't my cultivation meant to protect my family, my brother? No! I must go myself; only when I see my little brother safe can I be at ease."

"Alright, I'll accompany you. I love you so much that I'm willing to sacrifice everything for you; no matter what happens, my husband will always be your strongest support. Lady, don't fear—I will surely help you rescue Su Chen."

The Azure Dragon Saint Son kissed Su Yao's cheek.

Then he gave a subtle glance to the sword attendants behind him, and left the holy land under Su Yao's anxious gaze.

Su Yao, who had been constantly worrying about Su Chen's safety, didn't realize that the brother she saw as idle and indulgent had already broken out of a deadly situation, nor did she suspect that the Azure Dragon Saint Son's true purpose in taking her to Qianyuan City was to offer her to Ye Xuan.

But before that, he would first, on the way, hasten her maturation to seize her sword dao seed and the essence of her Hundred Medicines bodily fluids.

The Azure Dragon Saint Son, upon leaving, did not summon the disciples of the holy land's main peaks; instead he went to a separate villa.

Upon entering the door,

the Azure Dragon Saint Son embraced several sword attendants, pinching their slender waists, and said: "Do you really think I would destroy my Azure Dragon Holy Land's ten‑thousand‑year inheritance for that lowly person?"

"Su Changfeng is merely a peak Martial Sect; how could he be a match for Ye Xuan, who is backed by a Martial Saint ancestor?"

"Even with the inheritance of a Martial Emperor expert, I don't believe he, with comprehension worse than a dog's, could quickly grasp the Dao within it; he's just bluffing to buy time."

The beautiful sword attendant sitting beside the Azure Dragon Saint Son, with seductive eyes, said: "I also think so; the Heavenly Mystic Dao Sect's Star Pavilion junior master can't compare, but Sir Saint Son… are you really going to take her to the Ye family as a hostage?"

"Why not?"

"Su Yao has been married to me for two years; I had her cultivate the Yin‑Yang Reversal Technique to aid my cultivation, yet she refuses, calling it an evil art—what a waste of her Yin Dao body."

"Or you are more to my liking."

"Only with your pure Yin body can I, when cultivating with you, …"

The sword attendant, both reluctant and welcoming, coyly said: "Saint Son… you previously promised me…"

"Rest assured, once I deliver that lowly person to the Ye family in exchange for the Star Pavilion's Stellar Battle Body technique, I will marry you in grand style! That lowly person obtaining a saint‑rank technique would also be her fortune."

"Then what about her internal sword dao seed, and the fact that you haven't fed her all those medicines—will her Hundred Medicines body be abandoned like this?"

"How could I possibly do such a thing as making a wedding dress for others? I will certainly first strip her of her sword dao seed and seize the essence of her bodily fluids…"

Inside the house…

In front of Su Yao, pretending to be a devoted husband who would willingly sacrifice everything for her, the Azure Dragon Saint Son secretly plotted how to seize her cultivation.

During these two years of marrying into the Azure Dragon Holy Land, Su Yao has also regretted, thinking she shouldn't have been so impulsive as to slap Lin Yanran.

She shouldn't have lost control, causing Su Chen to fall into a dilemma.

That's her brother whom she's loved for thirty years!

From childhood, she held him in her palms, fearing he'd break, and kept him in her mouth, fearing he'd melt.

She couldn't even bear to scold him, yet Lin Yanran so shamelessly humiliated and degraded him…

Well, never mind.

Everything is already in the past.

As long as her little brother is safe, she promises not to lose her temper with him again.

At the same time.

On the other side, in Yunhai City.

Su Chen, whom Su Yao constantly worried about, was not only not imprisoned in the heavenly jail, but also escaped Qianyuan City unharmed and joined forces with Su Changfeng.

A beauty stands beside him.

Points are steadily rising.

"Have the people sent by the Azure Dragon Holy Land arrived? Did they say they came to Yunhai City to look for Father, and what is their purpose?"

"Also, how much has he revealed about the elder sister's current situation?" Su Chen sat beside the bed, carefully feeding Liu Liyan medicine, while also applying ointment to her wrist and asking the black dog about progress.

The black dog wore a bitter expression: "Young master, they have a soul seal; if we forcibly search their soul, the preset restriction will trigger, so we can only use traditional interrogation—he said nothing, and even held a poison pill in his mouth, which he would crush under torture."

"Then we'll use both soft and hard tactics, keep questioning." Su Chen didn't even lift his head.

His focused demeanor was reflected in Liu Liyan's blood‑red eyes.

Liu Liyan's gaze was deeply affectionate and hard to resist, fixed on this person who never seems tiresome to look at, especially the cool sensation of skin touching skin with this man.

Only at this moment does Liu Liyan feel a genuine sense of being alive.

Only then does she suddenly realize.

Eh!

As it turned out, he really had returned to his side.

No,

It was she who finally snatched A Chen from Miss Lin's hands.

But in the next instant, this fantasy shattered instantly, for a voice came from outside the tent: 'Young Master, an urgent jade slip transmission has arrived from Qianyuan City!'

Qingxia, who had just been shown a mouthful of dog food in the distance, suddenly lifted her head.

She gazed at the jade slip in Black Panther's hand.

Her heart thumped thump-thump wildly.

It's here.

Lin Jianran's distress jade slip has arrived.

"Read it."

Black Panther glanced it over, then opened the first jade slip: 'Black Dragon transmission: Ye Xuan learned that after you safely left Longcheng, he flew into a rage, issuing an order for the Ye family's Grand Elder to take command, leading the remaining thirty thousand disciples of the Qingming Divine Sect.'
