Chapter 75: When Did I Say I Would Let You Leave?

Qin Yuan had never imagined that Lu Ren would actually say such a thing.

His expression suddenly stiffened.

That was right.

His master, Yi Yaoyue, might have a certain level of deterrent power over others, but to Lu Ren, the culprit who killed his master, it was completely non-existent.

A sense of powerlessness suddenly surged in Qin Yuan's heart.

It seemed that every time he faced Lu Ren, he would be suppressed by him.

Time and time again.

This feeling had almost become his nightmare, tightly entangling and surrounding him.

It pressed down on Qin Yuan, making him unable to breathe.

"What exactly do you want?" he gritted his teeth and questioned, though he did not intend to get an answer from Lu Ren's mouth, instead lowering his head in humiliation and grievance.

"Killing me brings you no benefit; I am willing to use resources to redeem my own life."

"If you kill me, you will get nothing!"

This person, Lu Ren, could not be judged by conventional logic.

Qin Yuan only hoped that the conditions he offered could move Lu Ren.

Lu Ren raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh?"

His words were vague and ambiguous, as if there was a hint of curiosity.

"How much do you think your life is worth?"

This question...

... was somewhat difficult to answer.

Qin Yuan also knew that if he did not bleed heavily today, he probably wouldn't be able to leave.

But to really make him bleed... he felt exceptionally aggrieved and unwilling! Besides, Lu Ren had already snatched his Imperial God Treasure Record earlier.

And now he still had the nerve to ask him for treasures!

Unfortunately, when one is under the eaves, one must bow one's head.

Qin Yuan said: "Breaking Realm Pill, I am willing to use a bottle of Supreme Breaking Realm Pill to exchange for my life; are you satisfied with this condition?"

One bottle meant nine pills.

Nine pills that could increase the success rate of breaking through to the Supreme Saint realm were indeed a generous offer.

Yet Lu Ren laughed.

He waved his hand casually, taking away the Storage Bag Qin Yuan had handed over, but in an instant, he also took Qin Yuan's own Storage Bag.

"!!" Qin Yuan was instantly astonished.

He blurted out: "Give it back!"

"Even if you take my Storage Bag, it's useless; there is an ancestor's mark on my Storage Bag, and with your strength, you cannot erase it at all."

His sharp eyes stared fixedly at the smoke-gray Storage Bag in Lu Ren's hand, his heart aching uncontrollably.

That was his Storage Bag! It contained everything, had a vast space, and could not be damaged by external forces unless it was the power of an Immortal; it was a treasure that could be sought but not found.

If it were kept by Lu Ren, he would rather die.

Unfortunately, Lu Ren simply would not do as he wished.

"You are my prisoner; what else is yours?"

Lu Ren's gaze swept across Qin Yuan's belt without a trace.

With his discernment, he could tell that Qin Yuan's belt was also a rare storage item.

However, Lu Ren did not point it out, nor did he touch Qin Yuan's belt.

He weighed the Storage Bag and casually hung it on his own waist.

Qin Yuan's expression instantly became incredibly ugly.

His tone was also stiff: "You have already taken the items; shouldn't you let me leave now?"

His tone was so poor that he wished he could eat Lu Ren alive.

Lu Ren feigned confusion, "Oh? When did I say I would let you leave?"

Qin Yuan's face changed immediately.

"Are you playing with me?"

Lu Ren couldn't even be bothered to answer such a simple question.

If every Child of Luck were as stupid as Qin Yuan, then emptying the System Mall would be just around the corner.

Lu Ren's gaze, as if looking at a plaything, greatly irritated Qin Yuan. Since he had left his humble beginnings, no one had ever dared to treat him this way.

But now, having failed repeatedly at Lu Ren's hands, Qin Yuan, who had always been arrogant and self-proclaimed as a heaven-favored child, could not stand it at all.

Seeing Lu Ren's gaze shift to Dantai Jingcheng beside him, Qin Yuan immediately performed a "golden cicada shedding its shell."

His limbs seemed boneless as he struggled free from the ropes binding him, soft as mud, twisting his body like a loach to escape.

He had utilized the Bone Shrinking Technique to the fullest.

But just as he broke free, a black, sharp sword Qi appeared out of thin air, slashing straight at his throat. Although he rolled wretchedly to dodge the fatal wound, it still cut his arm.

A large chunk of flesh and blood was sliced off directly, falling bloodily to the ground.

"!" Qin Yuan's eyes bulged, but he gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound.

Yet he did not notice that the beam of black sword light had silently spread into his wound along with the flesh and blood.

【Detected that the host has wounded the Child of Luck, leaving behind a physical hidden danger; Qin Yuan's Qi Luck Value -20000】

Lu Ren's raised hand paused slightly.

Oh? Interest appeared in his eyes.

Why did he feel that after he unlocked the second part of the System Mall, the system seemed much more flexible regarding issues concerning the Child of Luck?

However, this was also a good thing.

If causing harm could increase Qi Luck Value, then there would be no need to sigh at the good items in the System Mall as if they were beyond reach.

Taking advantage of the split second Lu Ren was stunned, Qin Yuan did not hesitate; he didn't even want the flesh he had dropped, and dragging his blood-soaked arm, he flickered with his movement technique and turned to dash several miles away in an instant.

Just by looking at the blood mist swirling around his body, one could tell that this move must also be related to Yi Yaoyue.

Lu Ren, however, did not pursue.

Qin Yuan was definitely someone who could hook a big fish.

In this Storage Bag, there must be two-thirds of his net worth.

For such a fat sheep that kept entangling himself with him, he still had to give him some time to grow.

It was just delivering food, either way.

Lu Ren turned his head to look at Dantai Jingcheng and Yu Chunlan, who were still tied up.

He curled the corners of his lips slightly.

Before he could even speak, someone was already impatient.

Yu Chunlan looked pitiful, her red lips pressed lightly together, her white teeth biting her lip; this appearance of a pear blossom drenched in rain, with tears flowing before words were spoken, would make any man feel heartache.

She said, "Lu Family Head, this matter has nothing to do with me, and I am willing to hand over all my possessions, as long as you let me go."

"You are a Clan Head, surely you wouldn't hold a grudge against a small person like me, right?"

She blinked her eyes with a hint of shyness, her cheeks flushed, "If you are willing to let me go, then I will do whatever you ask."

"Anything at all?" Lu Ren suddenly became interested and repeated her words.

Yu Chunlan felt disgust in her heart, but she suppressed her displeasure and annoyance, nodding while pretending to be shy.

"Anything at all."

These three words were spoken by her with endless twists and turns, winding like a mountain road with eighteen bends, carrying little hooks as if to bewitch one's heart.

The smile on Lu Ren's face suddenly widened.

For some reason.

Yu Chunlan felt a vague sense of unease in her heart.

The next second.

Her unease was confirmed.

Lu Ren's hand hooked around her neck; just this one action made Yu Chunlan's face turn deathly pale, and she lost all composure.

She heard Lu Ren's voice, smiling yet carrying an irresistible force: "Since you said anything at all... your entire net worth has no meaning to me; I only want this."

"If you are willing to give it to me, then I will let you go."

Hooked on Lu Ren's hand was a glowing Jade Pendant.

The emerald-green Jade Pendant had mysterious arcs of light flowing within it, as if vibrant life were blooming into brilliant, magnificent flowers on the surface of the pendant.

Yet this green color did not add a shred of vitality to Yu Chunlan's face.

Instead, it made cold sweat stream down her entire body.

Only one sentence echoed in Yu Chunlan's mind, collapsing in despair.

Why? Why could Lu Ren see her Jade Pendant? (End of chapter)
