Revenge and Vengeance

Late at night, the moon hung low in the west, stars filled the sky, dew covered the ground, and a chill permeated the air.

In her boudoir, Shen Xiu, the Eldest Young Lady of the Sacred Family, crossed her arms in front of her chest, propped her legs up, and squinted her phoenix eyes, staring impatiently at her bed.

The bed board was standing upright at a ninety-degree angle, a thick, yellowed hemp rope tied to the horizontal axis, making a rhythmic creaking sound.

"Why hasn't that dead girl Yu'er come up yet? Could she have been eaten by the Old Monster?" Shen Xiu furrowed her brows, deeply worried.

Yu'er was the messenger she had sent to gather information. The Old Monster shouldn't make things difficult for her, especially since it still needed her to break the seal!

Just as she was considering whether to go down herself, a small head popped out of the hole.

She blinked her curious, large eyes, looking very cute.

"Yu'er, what's the situation down there? What's with the loud noise and smoke?" Shen Xiu stood up and walked over leisurely. Her semi-transparent silk nightgown couldn't hide her perfectly rounded, plump figure at all.

She looked as if she were standing in front of Yu'er with nothing on, her alluring beauty completely exposed.

Shen Xiu reached out her delicate jade hands and pulled up the little maid, who was staring blankly.

For some reason, the girl suddenly became as heavy as a millstone.

"Why are you bleeding from your nose?" Shen Xiu looked at Yu'er in confusion. "Did the Old Monster injure you?"

Yu'er wiped her nosebleed with her hand and shook her head.

Seeing that she didn't answer her question immediately but instead found a stool to sit on, staring intently at her private parts, Shen Xiu glared at her with shame and anger.

"Insolent! Get up!" Shen Xiu shrieked, pointing at Yu'er's little nose like a furious wildcat.

Yu'er stood up.

Or rather, she lunged forward.

Shen Xiu was caught off guard and was directly knocked to the ground.

Yu'er grabbed Shen Xiu's jade neck with one hand and covered her mouth with the other, preventing her from making a sound.

Shen Xiu was utterly enraged.

This was rebellion! How dare she attack her master? She was asking for death!

She immediately activated Demon Spirit Possession, instantly transforming into a Fox Spirit.

At this moment, not only did fiery red fur grow all over her body, but her ears also became pointed and long, her teeth sharp as knives, and a fluffy tail grew from her back.

"Die!"

She unleashed her Nine Yin White Bone Claw, slashing fiercely at Yu'er's face.

Unexpectedly, Yu'er raised her knee and brutally pressed down on her wrist.

Shen Xiu's face showed horror: Yu'er was just an ordinary person, how could she possess such terrifying Strength?

She was a Silver Three-star Demon Spirit Master now. After activating Demon Spirit Possession, her Strength was comparable to a Silver Three-star Demon Beast, yet Yu'er had easily suppressed her.

No, she wasn't Yu'er! Who was she?

"Bo Chi, your Grandpa Chang Ping has returned alive from hell!" A deep, rough male voice came from Yu'er's mouth.

She knelt on Shen Xiu's chest, her knees pinning Shen Xiu's arms firmly. She released her large hand that was choking Shen Xiu's neck and slowly tore off the Human Skin Mask from her face.

What appeared before Shen Xiu was an extremely ordinary yet unforgettable face.

"Mmph mmph mmph... (Didn't you die?)" A hint of panic flashed in Shen Xiu's phoenix eyes: Could this be the Old Monster's doing?

Chang Ping opened his mouth wide, revealing two rows of white teeth. He leaned down, their eyes meeting, and stared directly at Shen Xiu's forehead, asking with a smile, "You must be very confused as to why I'm still alive, right? Do you want to know why?"

Shen Xiu hurriedly blinked a few times. Her head was pressed firmly to the ground by Chang Ping, unable to move at all, so she could only blink.

If he had been resurrected by the Old Monster, then they were allies now, and Chang Ping shouldn't make things too difficult for her.

If not, then she was in for a terrible time.

"I won't tell you!" Chang Ping suddenly headbutted Shen Xiu, causing her to tear up from the pain.

He now possessed over six thousand jin of Strength, and his Dark Energy could completely ignore her defenses. If he hadn't held back, Shen Xiu's head would probably have exploded.

"I won't let you die so easily, that would be too kind. I'm going to torment you severely, using every method I can think of! Now, I'm going to use the first method..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xiu's face turned ashen.

It seemed... he hadn't been resurrected by the Old Monster.

"If you don't want these embarrassing photos of you to be circulated, then shut your mouth tight, understand?" Chang Ping threw a stack of ultra-high-definition photos onto Shen Xiu's flushed face.

He had redeemed a Simple Camera, which could not only take pictures but also print and copy them, with no limit on the number of times.

And such a useful item only cost a hundred Strength Value.

Shen Xiu, wrapped in a quilt, her hair messy, lips bruised, sat slumped on the floor, sobbing softly. She picked up the strange papers Chang Ping had thrown at her and looked closely, her face instantly turning as pale as paper.

Chang Ping sat on the table with his legs crossed, his feet on a stool, licking the dessert crumbs from the plate. He said, "What? Are you feeling wronged? If you hadn't dug out my heart, how could I have tormented you? You deserve it!"

"I'm telling you, I'm not only tormenting you now, but I'll continue to torment you in the future. I'll make you live in my shadow for the rest of your life. Don't even think about suicide. If you die, I'll torment your corpse, and then I'll send photos like these all over the streets and alleys of the City of Radiance."

"You... devil!" Shen Xiu burned the photos to ashes, glaring at Chang Ping through gritted teeth.

As an Eldest Young Lady of the Sacred Family, when had she ever suffered such humiliation?

Shen Xiu secretly swore in her heart that she would get revenge and tear Chang Ping to pieces.

"F*ck you!" Chang Ping slapped Shen Xiu across the face. "No matter how demonic I am, I'm still better than a venomous woman like you who eats hearts and drinks blood! I ask you, why would you do something so twisted? Is it purely for fun, to seek thrills?"

Chang Ping gripped Shen Xiu's delicate neck, his voice chilling as he questioned her.

Shen Xiu glared at Chang Ping defiantly. She clenched her fists tightly, considered for a moment, and then slowly relaxed them.

If I keep the green hills, I'll never worry about firewood.

"The Old Monster, you must have met him. I've cultivated the Bloodthirsty Demonic Art he gave me. It can rapidly increase my Soul Force, but the price is that I need to drink the heart blood of a Virgin Boy. The older the Virgin Boy, the better the effect. Your blood was the best I've ever had."

Shen Xiu lied without batting an eye.

The Bloodthirsty Demonic Art was actually given by a Ghost Fiend from the Dark Guild.

However, Chang Ping probably wouldn't doubt it if she said it was from the Old Monster.

"Damn it, I don't need you to praise me!" Chang Ping landed another heavy slap on the other side of Shen Xiu's face.

Shen Xiu cried. He's actually hitting a woman, how ungentlemanly, boohoohoo...
