"Capture this audacious woman!" Ghost Master roared in anger.
Several Zhuang family n with fierce faces imdiately approached Lin Xi, no longer showing their previous warmth and friendliness.
Lin Xi was sowhat afraid.
She had always thought that this place was simply Heaven, where people loved each other without any scheming or strife.
But at this mont, she realized she was wrong.
These people were simply devils.
Seeing Huo i being tortured like that, and yet none showed the slightest sympathy.
"Brothers, please calm your anger, Lord Ghost Master, please calm your anger. This woman is not right in the head, I will take her away now, please don't take it to heart with her," Su Chen said without a second word, lifting Lin Xi up and walking away.
Seeing Su Chen taking Lin Xi away, Ghost Master was imdiately furious, "What are you waiting for? Capture both of them."
They had finally found an opportunity to strike at Lin Xi, there was no way they would let such an opportunity pass.
However, the Zhuang family n hesitated.
"What? You dare not obey my orders?" Ghost Master's face darkened.
"Well, Lord Ghost Master, Brother Su Chen is really powerful, he killed a bear on his own," one Zhuang family man said, swallowing his saliva.
They dared to snatch people from others.
But Su Chen...
"Just a bear... What? You said he killed a bear?" Ghost Master initially didn't care, but then he suddenly realized what was said and shivered with a start.
Fortunately, he was wearing a mask.
Otherwise, people would see the fear on his face.
Although he didn't believe soone could really kill a bear, he knew that these Zhuang people would never dare lie to Ghost Master.
So, could that young man really have killed a bear?
"Just a bear, I could kill it with a slap," Ghost Master composed himself and said with feigned indifference.
"However, since they are not our Zhuang family's people, let's spare their lives."
"Thank you for your generosity, Lord Ghost Master," Big Landlord expressed his gratitude.
Su Chen carried Lin Xi all the way to the bed in her room before setting her down.
"Su Chen, are you still a man? You just watched Huo i being tortured without doing anything?" Lin Xi's eyes brimd with tears.
Originally, her feelings towards Su Chen had slowly started to change for the better, but at this mont, she felt utterly disappointed.
At such tis, any man should step forward.
"Let out, Su Chen. If you dare to stop , from today onward, we are through!" Lin Xi stood up again.
But Su Chen blocked the door, not letting her through.
Lin Xi pushed a few tis but couldn't open it, and suddenly bit down hard on Su Chen's arm.
Su Chen gasped in pain and raised his hand to slap her.
But, in the end, the slap did not co down.
He could empathize with Lin Xi's feelings right now.
After biting Su Chen's arm until it bled, Lin Xi finally regained a semblance of composure.
Looking at Su Chen's raised hand, the CEO said with tearful eyes, "Go ahead and hit !"
Su Chen slowly put down his hand and sighed, "If you feel like this is the only way to feel better, you can continue biting."
Lin Xi looked at Su Chen's arm, where a neat set of teeth marks had appeared, blood already flowing out.
Her heart softened involuntarily.
Doesn't this guy know pain at all?
But, recalling how Su Chen had forcefully taken her away just now, anger surged in Lin Xi's heart again.
"Move out of the way!" The CEO's authority burst forth.
Unfortunately, the previously infallible thod of suppressing with aura had no effect on Su Chen this ti.
He stood there quietly, his eyes unwavering.
"Su Chen, can you let out please? I can't bear to watch Huo i die!" Lin Xi, finding brute force ineffective, resorted to a gentler approach.
Seeing Lin Xi regain so sense, Su Chen spoke slowly, "Wife, I'm not against you saving Huo i, but you must use the right thod. Didn't you see what just happened? Those three Ghost Masters clearly have more authority than the Big Landlord. If I didn't take you away, do you believe that by now your fate would be the sa as Huo i's?"
Recalling the recent events, Lin Xi realized that indeed no one dared to defy those three people.
"Perhaps you think I could overco those three Ghost Masters, but even if I did, then what? If we make enemies with the Ghost Masters, do you think you'll still have the chance to learn the dyeing technique?" Su Chen continued.
Lin Xi's expression changed imdiately; she had indeed been too impulsive.
She had only thought about saving Huo i and overlooked this point.
Lin Xi was a smart girl. Upon calming down, she quickly understood many things and bit her lip, saying, "Su Chen, I'm sorry, I was too impulsive."
Su Chen gave a faint smile, indicating that it was all right.
As long as Lin Xi had co to understand, that was good.
He wasn't afraid of breaking ties with the Zhuang family, but he didn't want Lin Xi to get hurt.
Having spent so many years in Reverse Dragon, he had seen various cultures and customs.
For these tribes with deep beliefs,
Their faith is above everything.
He guessed that even if the Great Yin Master ordered these Zhuang people to climb a mountain of swords or plunge into a vat of boiling oil, they would do so without hesitation.
Looking at Su Chen's arm, which was still bleeding, Lin Xi felt very distressed and asked, "Does it hurt?"
"It does hurt, but maybe if my wife blows on it, it might stop hurting," Su Chen said with a mischievous smile.
"Wishful thinking!" Lin Xi glared at Su Chen.
But she still leaned over and gently blew on it.
Slling the faint fragrance coming from Lin Xi, and looking at her stunning face, and the slightly pursed lips, Su Chen almost couldn't resist kissing her.
But he held back in the end.
He knew that Lin Xi was in a bad mood at that mont.
Indeed, Lin Xi was feeling terrible.
She had never expected that these simple Zhuang villagers could suddenly beco so vicious and brutal.
"Su Chen, do you really believe that Huo i's actions angered the River God and caused the villagers to fall ill?" Lin Xi asked with a disheartened expression.
"Of course not, but they do," Su Chen replied.
Lin Xi felt sowhat helpless.
Clearly, it wasn't so curse from the River God that made the villagers sick.
Yet the villagers treated the Ghost Masters' words as if they were divine, convincing them otherwise would not be an easy task.
"Right, don't you know how to heal? If you could cure those strange illnesses, wouldn't that expose the Ghost Masters' lies?" Lin Xi suddenly said.
Su Chen nodded and replied, "It's worth a try."
The two of them stepped out again.
Huo i had already been taken to the River God Temple.
Awaiting her was three days and nights of fasting, followed by being subrged in the river.
The others had all dispersed.
Only the Big Landlord, Ada, and Aduo were still there.
A faint sadness could be seen on their faces.
After all, Huo i was their relative, and now she had been turned into a sacrifice...
"Big Landlord, may I see the sick?" Su Chen asked the Big Landlord.
The Big Landlord snapped out of his sorrow, his expression turned indifferent again, and he said slowly: "No!"
PS: To the brothers who gave this little demon bad reviews, if you truly think the writing is poor, I will accept the criticism. But if it's because you think the updates are slow and that's why you gave a bad review, it really hurts. Bad reviews affect my mood, I beg you to be rciful…
