Chapter 743: The First Appearance of Dark Power

"Good, I understand. Haha, then I won't be polite." Yu Jiuzhen grabbed a soft whip, soaked it in a basin of salt water, flicked the whip to make a cracking sound, and lashed out fiercely at Yu Sichen.

"Ah..." Yu Sichen cried out in pain, a bloody whip mark appearing on her body.

Once a woman becomes jealous, she is terrifying. The jealousy toward Yu Sichen, along with the hatred from being taught a lesson in front of everyone at the club last time, all erupted in this instant.

The salt-water-soaked whip lashed against Yu Sichen's body; Yu Sichen felt a burning, stinging pain, and soon her body was covered in dense, crisscrossing whip marks.

"Hang her up." Yu Jiuzhen was still not satisfied; with a wave of her hand, several men hung Yu Sichen up.

After a round of torture, Yu Sichen's consciousness was already blurred. Splash! A basin of clear water was splashed onto her face. The icy water made her shudder, and she slowly opened her eyes.

"Cackle, look, this is that eldest daughter of the Yu Family who wanted to marry into a wealthy family; now she's like a dead dog." Yu Jiuzhen laughed heartily, then said viciously: "Yu Sichen, beg me. If you beg me, I'll let you go right now."

Yu Sichen stared at her weakly, and suddenly, she laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Seeing that Yu Sichen could still laugh, Yu Jiuzhen's anger flared up.

"I'm laughing at how pathetic and insecure you are, eldest daughter of the Yu Family." Yu Sichen laughed, fresh blood trickling down her lips: "Because you are inferior to others, you are jealous, and you... can only use these methods to destroy a woman who is prettier and more capable than you? So, aren't you pathetic and insecure?"

"Shut up." Yu Jiuzhen was furious. Yu Sichen's words struck at her heart, and she shrieked as if her tail had been stepped on.

"There is a queen in a fairy tale who asks the magic mirror every day who the most beautiful woman in the world is. Yu Jiuzhen, how are you... any different from that queen?"

"Beat her, beat her to death for me..." Yu Jiuzhen shrieked: "I don't believe her mouth is that tough."

Snap... The whip swung again. For an entire day, Yu Sichen did not know how many times she had fainted, nor how many times she had been splashed awake with cold water. It was not until dusk that she was sent back to the Yu Family.

She tried to dial Chen Yu's cell phone, but no matter what, she could not get through. She lay desperately on the bed in her bedroom, her heart already dead.

"What, what is going on?" As the door opened, Wang Ling and Yu Qiang rushed in. They had just received the news that Yu Sichen had been sent back covered in blood.

"Sichen, what happened? Who did this?" The couple was incomparably furious.

Seeing her own biological parents, Yu Sichen felt a little warmth in her heart; these were her kin, the people closest to her.

"Liu Jingye... he is a devil." Yu Sichen slowly spat out these words.

"You're saying Liu Shao did this? That's impossible, how could Liu Shao do such a thing." The couple flatly refused to believe her words.

"Liu Shao just said that there was a little unpleasantness with her, but the engagement ceremony in two days will continue." Just then, Yu Luozhong's call came through: "These two days, no matter what happens, you must keep her steady. This is the Yu Family's only chance."

"Dad, I understand." The anger on Yu Qiang's face vanished. He exchanged a glance with Wang Ling, then stepped forward and said viciously: "How did you provoke Liu Shao to make him unhappy? Otherwise, why would he hit you?"

"I provoked him... to be unhappy?" Yu Sichen struggled to open her eyes. Her eyes were already swollen, and the injuries all over her body made her nearly faint, but her father's words shocked her so much she could barely feel the pain.

"That's right, Liu Shao is from a great family, how could he lay a hand on a woman like you? Tell me, did you do something to wrong Liu Shao, and that's why he got angry?" Yu Qiang raged: "I think you deserve it."

"The reason Liu Jingye is having a grand engagement with me is for revenge; he is doing it to humiliate me." Yu Sichen suddenly exploded. She got up and hissed: "He will try every possible way to break off the engagement; you won't get a single cent."

"How is that possible? Liu Shao has no grudge against you, why would he humiliate you?" Wang Ling also scolded: "You must know that our Yu Family's only hope is Liu Shao. No matter what, you have to endure it."

"Dad, Mom..." Yu Sichen suddenly knelt on the ground, crying uncontrollably: "Let me go, please, let me go, okay?"

"What are you doing? Is it a grievance for you to marry into the Liu Family?" Wang Ling shrieked: "We worked hard to raise you this big for the sake of today. Even if you die, you must marry over there."

"These words... are these what you truly think in your hearts?" Yu Sichen suddenly raised her head, a wisp of black Qi flashing across her eyes.

At the same time, the Half Wooden Carved Little Person hanging on her chest grew faintly hot, as if something was about to break through the seal and come out.

"That's right, women are born to be sacrifices. For the sake of the Yu Family's future, no matter how Liu Shao treats you, you must endure it." Yu Qiang also raged.

Yu Sichen stared blankly at her father. She suddenly laughed, and as she laughed, two lines of tears rolled down from her eyes.

"Hahaha, these are the parents who gave birth to me and raised me for over twenty years." Yu Sichen laughed and cried: "You are single-mindedly focused on me marrying into a wealthy family, and as long as there is even a sliver of a chance, you are willing to let your own daughter die?"

"I'm injured like this, and after I return, your first reaction isn't to call a doctor for me, but to keep questioning me about whether I offended Liu Jingye?"

"Do you know what I experienced today? Do you know that I was whipped with a salt-water-soaked whip, hung up and whipped, and don't know how many times I was splashed awake with cold water after fainting? In your eyes, the future of the Yu Family is more important than anything. Even if Liu Jingye is a pervert, you are willing, right?"

"That's right." Wang Ling's eyes widened, and she shrieked: "This is our only chance. Aren't women born to be slept with by men? Even if you die, you must marry into the Liu Family."

"Good, good..." Yu Sichen laughed loudly, and the tears rolling from the corners of her eyes turned into blood-tears in this instant.

Fresh blood trickled down along the clothes on her chest, staining the black-Qi-emitting Half Wooden Carved Little Person blood-red.

The One-eyed Little Person that had always been worn on her chest finally broke through the seal at this moment.

A mass of black Qi enveloped Yu Sichen. This black Qi was evil, dark, and filled with icy coldness.

"All living beings suffer, eternal calamity never ends." A hoarse voice rang in her ears: "Yu Sichen, enter into a contract with me, let yourself become strong, and from this day on, no one will bully you again."

"Really? Can I really become strong? Can really no one bully me or force me anymore?" Yu Sichen's consciousness was blurred.

"That goes without saying." The cold, hoarse voice changed into a shrill, eerie voice: "The world is full of sorrow and suffering. Contract with me, and you can love those you love, destroy those who hurt you, and from now on, act as you please, and no one in this world will be able to stop you."

"Fine, I agree." Yu Sichen slowly raised her head, the black Qi in her Double Pupils flashing and then vanishing.
