Chapter 50: Little Thief, You

At this moment, Mu Yuqing's heart was filled with despair.

Not only was she unable to absorb Su Chen's fortune, but the Initial Origin Spiritual Qi within her own body was leaking away bit by bit.

She could not forcibly interrupt the Dual Cultivation right now, or both she and Su Chen would undoubtedly die.

"No, I am not reconciled."

Mu Yuqing bit her lip, struggling to remain calm, and began to think of a countermeasure.

Boom—!

"Not good! This brat is about to break through to the Dao Palace Realm, the Eye of Heaven is manifesting again!"

Seeing this, Mu Yuqing's expression changed abruptly, and she immediately looked up.

Sure enough, she saw dark clouds gathering high above, with lightning and thunder—a scene of the apocalypse!

Clearly, this was the precursor to the manifestation of the Eye of Heaven.

"Damn it, the Su Family will definitely track us down based on the Eye of Heaven!"

Mu Yuqing's face turned deathly pale, her heart nearly stopped beating, and her cultivation base continued to decline.

If she could not remedy this in time, she would soon become a cripple.

"I'll kill you!"

Seeing Mu Yuqing's terrified appearance and knowing her situation was dire, Lan Xiaoyou developed a murderous intent toward the culprit, Su Chen.

As she spoke, Lan Xiaoyou struck out with a palm, her five fingers hooked like claws, carrying a sharp edge as she grabbed toward the center of Su Chen's brow.

"Don't! We still have hope!"

Seeing this, Mu Yuqing panicked and shouted to stop her.

"Master, he has harmed you to this extent; why are you still shielding him?"

Lan Xiaoyou was full of confusion.

"Little thief, you..."

Just then, Mu Yuqing suddenly felt something move inside her body, and she trembled with rage.

She had actually been...

Following that, she and Su Chen were completely separated.

Boom—

Just as she was about to flare up, a loud noise came from the void above her head.

A golden pillar of light shot from the firmament toward Su Chen, enveloping him within it.

"The Eye of Heaven is manifesting, Xiaoyou, let's go quickly!"

Seeing this, Mu Yuqing hurriedly grabbed the clothes on the bed, put them on, and urged her.

Lan Xiaoyou had originally wanted to kill Su Chen, but she also understood that the current situation allowed for no further delay.

Mu Yuqing then pulled Lan Xiaoyou, fled out the door, and flew off into the distance.

Enveloped by the golden pillar of light, Su Chen felt his whole body warm and very comfortable.

Immediately, he slowly opened his eyes.

A brilliant golden light emerged in his pupils, as if he possessed some kind of inexplicable might.

Swish!

Su Chen stood up abruptly and walked toward the door, but stopped after taking only one step.

"Where are the people?"

Looking around, he found that Mu Yuqing and the other woman were nowhere to be found, and Su Chen frowned.

In the large room, only the faint scent of rouge and powder remained, along with that pool of blood on the bed, suggesting the two women had left in a hurry.

"Strange! Why leave so urgently... I'm not a man-eating tiger."

Su Chen muttered to himself, then turned back to the bed to tidy up his clothes.

"That woman was really something!"

Su Chen licked his lips, recalling the scene of his intimacy with Mu Yuqing, and a look of reminiscence could not help but appear in his eyes.

He had no idea why Mu Yuqing had suddenly left in such a hurry; perhaps it was because of the Eye of Heaven.

Although Mu Yuqing did not tell him why, he had vaguely guessed it.

He believed that one day he would meet Mu Yuqing again and would also get to the bottom of all this.

Creak.

Just then, the door was pushed open.

Su Chen turned his head to look and found the beautiful figures of Chu Yanran and Su Mei'er standing at the doorway.

"Husband!"

"Young Master!"

After seeing him, both women's pretty faces were filled with joy, especially Chu Yanran, whose beautiful eyes shimmered with brilliance, her gaze never shifting for a second.

She ran straight to Su Chen's side, hugged his waist, and looked him up and down.

"Yanran, Mei'er, why did you come here?" Seeing the two women, Su Chen asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Chu Yanran pouted her sexy, rosy lips and said indignantly, "You were suddenly abducted by a thief; you worried us to death."

Hearing this, Su Chen's expression froze, feeling a bit awkward. He hadn't expected this incident to worry the two women, so he immediately apologized: "It's my fault for making you worry so much."

After all, he had been enjoying himself here with Mu Yuqing while his women at home were left worrying about him.

Su Family, Martial Arts Arena.

Su Yueru's body was bound by iron chains to a massive iron pillar, with a mass of Flame Sun Fire burning directly beneath her.

"Ah!!!"

She shrieked incessantly, her body covered in wounds, her skin and flesh scorched.

"Speak, who exactly was it?"

Qin Xinran stood before Su Yueru, looking down at her, and said, "If you don't confess, don't blame me for continuing the torture!"

Su Yueru endured the intense pain, saying venomously, "Qin Xinran, you will die a horrible death!"

"Heh, you refuse to speak?"

A cruel arc curled at the corners of Qin Xinran's mouth, and she immediately turned to look at An Ji, ordering, "Bring the salt water over!"

"Yes!"

An Ji acknowledged the order, quickly brought over a bucket of salt water, and slowly moved toward Su Yueru.

"Y-you, what are you doing?"

Seeing the salt water in An Ji's hands, Su Yueru was terrified and struggled to shout.

Her voice was sharp and grating, like the wailing of a ghost, making one's hair stand on end.

"Since you are stubborn and unyielding, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Qin Xinran was incomparably cold, her eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a murderous intent as she shouted coldly, "Pour it on her!"

Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!

As Qin Xinran's words fell, An Ji poured the salt water onto Su Yueru's delicate body without a shred of pity.

Zila! Zila! Zila!

Instantly, a pungent, burning smell permeated the air, making one's hair stand on end.

"Ah! Help! I was wrong, please, let me go!"

Su Yueru struggled frantically, but she could not break free from the restraints of the iron chains.

After the salt water entered her body, it instantly spread and began to burn, making her endure inhuman torture.

Su Yueru wailed repeatedly, her voice extremely shrill, piercing the clouds.

But unfortunately, no one would sympathize with her plight.

A moment later, the salt water was completely used up, and Su Yueru had turned into a piece of charcoal, having passed out.

Looking at the unconscious Su Yueru, An Ji took back the salt water bucket and reminded Qin Xinran, "Miss, she has fainted."

"Mm, that's about enough."

Qin Xinran nodded, signaling for the fire torture on Su Yueru to stop.

"Bitch, I'll spare your dog life this time; if you dare to provoke me again, I will definitely take your head!"

Qin Xinran said coldly, then ordered, "An Ji, lock this bitch up for me, and do not let anyone visit."

"Yes!"

An Ji received the order and dragged Su Yueru into the prison cell nearby.

"Hmph!"

After locking Su Yueru up, Qin Xinran let out a huff, her beautiful eyes flashing with resentment.

She hoped her Chen'er was alright; otherwise, she would definitely make those old things pay a bloody price!

————————

A few days later.

Beiwang Continent, Heavenly Demon Sect.

After several days of desperate flight, Mu Yuqing and Lan Xiaoyou finally returned to the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Lan Xiaoyou only then remembered the events of that day and hurriedly supported Mu Yuqing's arm, reminding her, "Master, you must quickly force those things out of your body."
