In the deserted forest of Jiangbei, the howling of the wolves pierced the air like knives.
However, nothing could compare to the miserable shrieks of the Thousand Poison Faction elder.
Qi Sha looked at Xiao Chen.
“Emperor!”
Xiao Chen closed his eyes. There was murderous intent between his brows.
He clenched his fists. The condensed power within him was too strong, and even the space around him crackled with energy, causing the surrounding paths to crack and split.
“The Liu family. Liu Wushuang!”
He did not doubt a word that the elder said.
That year, the Liu family opposed his marriage to Liu Yunxuan. Liu Wushuang had opposed them the most!
He knew that using Liu Yunxuan as a pawn can bring benefits for the Liu family!
If Liu Yunxuan hadn’t willingly left the Liu family to elope with him, she would have been sold by Liu Wushuang long ago!
Liu Wushuang, feeling spiteful over the incident, took their newborn daughter and tossed her in the trash, but it didn’t distill his hatred.
Seeking the Thousand Poison elder was expected!
The wind started, and the cries of the elder began to weaken. He had already been tortured by Qi Sha until he was nearly breathless.
Xiao Chen snapped back to reality and approached the elder. Qi Sha loosened his grip, forcing the elder to kneel in front of Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen reached out his right hand and placed his index finger on the elder’s forehead.
The Thousand Poison elder closed his eyes in peace. But the next moment, he felt like a spring breeze had washed over him.
Immediately afterward, all the injuries and wounds on the elder were healed!
“Huh?”
The Thousand Poison elder’s gaze couldn’t help but reveal a hint of confusion.
“Wh… What do you mean by this?”
Xiao Chen put his finger to his mouth.
“Shh! Don’t talk. Save your strength… because you have to stay up all night.”
When his words fell, Xiao Chen placed his hands behind his back and turned away, quietly disappearing into the night.
The Thousand Poison elder was even more confused. At this moment, the elder couldn’t help but shudder as he felt the gentle winds.
Behind him, a pair of hands laid on his shoulders.
The elder turned around. He didn’t know when, but his injured disciples had surrounded him.
Everyone’s gaze emitted a dark green light tinged with a scarlet glow, making him feel inexplicable dread.
“You… What do you guys want? Step back, I’m your elder! If you don’t listen to me, I’ll kill you!”
But they seemed to be possessed. Drooling, they began to charge at him.
“Elder! Hehehe…”
“Ah—! Don’t come here! Are you a pack of animals? I’m the Thousand Poison elder! You dare defy your superior?”
His miserable cries once again rang through the entire mountain region.
But this time, it was different. Xiao Chen had given the elder the power to survive the entire night.
This night, his mental consciousness will always be in the most sober state.
The desperate elder roared with blood red eyes.
“Liu Wushuang! You leech! You’ve screwed me over!”
With his cries, a figure suddenly awoke from the corner of a room in a luxurious villa at Magic City.
“Don’t kill me—!”
His voice woke the person on the pillow next to him.
“Honey, what’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?”
“I don’t know why, but these last two days I keep dreaming of that brat, Xiao Chen!”
“Xiao Chen? You mean your little sister’s ex-husband who had his limbs broken and tossed into the Yangtze?”
“Precisely! In the last two days, I keep dreaming he will kill me.”
“Honey, what are you afraid of? Our Liu family has great fortune. If he dares come, we can just look for a Daoist priest to destroy him.”
“That’s true. Xiao Chen is just a sly dog and doesn’t know his place. That year, if he didn’t seduce Yunxuan, she would have married into a rich family at Magic City. Our Liu family would have been more powerful!”
“Forget it, don’t worry about it too much. Yunxuan is just a loose woman now. Even a third tier family won’t even want her.”
“Hmph! That slut has really brought down our Liu family’s reputation! That year, I really wanted to strangle that child in front of her and piss her off. That way, she won’t have to be so depressed and ruin our Liu family’s mood.”
“Okay, okay. Didn’t you find someone to deal with that kid? Yunxuan now is just a walking corpse. She won’t be alive for long. Let’s sleep, it’s late!”
“Mhmm.”
…
In Jiangbei, Xiao Chen already arrived at the gate of his villa.
He could hear peals of laughter from the neighboring unit.
Through the window, though vague, he could see Su Ruoxue and his daughter having a great time.
This placed Xiao Chen in a trance.
If that year hadn’t happened, would Ziyi be having fun with her mother like this right now?
He watched them for a while before approaching the Su villa and knocking on the door.
Su Ruoxue hurried over to open the door. When she saw that it was Xiao Chen, her eyes couldn’t help but glow.
“You’re back! She’s already awake. I made some food for her, and we’re hanging out right now.”
Xiao Chen nodded.
“I saw! Thank you so much.”
“No worries. Ziyi is adorable, I really like her. Ziyi, come, look who’s back!”
Xiao Ziyi strode over on her little legs and darted to Xiao Chen’s side like a gust of smoke, shouting with a high pitched voice:
“Daddy!”
Xiao Chen’s body trembled as his daughter’s voice calling him “Daddy” reverberated inside his heart!
“You can now talk?”
Su Ruoxue explained:
“I don’t know what happened to her before. She probably hasn’t learned the language, but she should be able to talk. I’ve already taught her several words.”
“Thank you!”
Xiao Chen picked up his daughter as he genuinely thanked Su Ruoxue again.
“I, Xiao Chen, don’t owe many people in my life, but you count as one. In the future, if you run into any trouble, just let me know. I’ll straighten it out for you!”
Su Ruoxue blushed.
“Why did you make the atmosphere so heavy? I was just playing with your daughter!”
She didn’t know of Xiao Ziyi’s past, so she wouldn’t know how important her help had been in aiding Ziyi’s growth and happiness.
Xiao Chen shook his head.
“I, Xiao Chen, am a man of my word.”
Su Ruoxue shrugged.
“Okay. Well, if you insist.”
Afterward, Su Ruoxue patted Xiao Ziyi’s little head and smiled brightly.
“Little Ziyi, it’s very late. Your Daddy’s home, so you have to go home and sleep now!”
Xiao Ziyi began to pout.
“Auntie, daddy, Ziyi. Sleep together!”
Her statement made the atmosphere awkward in an instant.
Su Ruoxue’s face flushed red as Xiao Chen sighed lightly.
“Ziyi, auntie Ruoxue has to work tomorrow. She can’t sleep with us!”
Ziyi looked upset, her big eyes clouding up.
“Ziyi, be good. Don’t argue.”
Xiao Chen felt his head ache.
“How about another day? Daddy just found you. Can you spend some time alone with just Daddy?”
Hearing this, Xiao Ziyi could only nod her head, still sulking.
