Another Man Whose Heart Had Been Shattered by a Scumbag Woman

Jiang Yingyue was so angry she laughed.

A mere Alchemy Master actually dared to demand that she, an Alchemical Grandmaster, kneel and cripple her own cultivation.

Who had given him the courage?

"Get lost, or die!"

Jiang Yingyue had no time to waste on this fellow.

"Oh my, since you're looking to die, I'll grant your wish!"

Lin Daoyun had suffered a setback at Lu Chen's hands and was already seething with rage. He had wanted to find someone to establish his authority, yet this woman actually dared to act wildly before him. It was utterly detestable.

He did not care that she was a female cultivator and reached out to grab Jiang Yingyue.

At that moment, Lu Chen had already left the market with Zhao Hong.

Jiang Yingyue grew anxious and casually waved her hand.

The next instant, Lin Daoyun let out a scream and was sent flying. He smashed through the market wall and rolled out into the street.

"..."

Everyone was stunned by the sight.

This masked woman had merely waved her hand, yet Lin Daoyun, an Alchemy Master at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, had been blasted away, smashed through a wall, and flown outside.

That was Alchemy Master Lin Daoyun.

He was someone who could stand on equal footing with Lin Xiaotian, head of the Lin Household, and Yun Dingtian, head of the Yun Household.

Jiang Yingyue did not care about any of that. She immediately chased after Lu Chen.

"Master..."

Lin Tianhe was dumbfounded. It took him quite a while to come back to his senses before he hurriedly rushed toward Lin Daoyun.

When Lin Tianhe had someone carry Lin Daoyun back,

everyone could not help but suck in a breath of cold air at Lin Daoyun's miserable state.

Lin Daoyun was covered in blood, his hair disheveled and his face deathly pale. No one knew how many bones in his body had been broken, and all his meridians had been severed. He had become a cripple.

A generation's Alchemy Master, once so immortal and refined, had actually ended up like this.

Everyone could not help but sigh.

Meanwhile, Lu Chen headed toward the House of Ten Thousand Beauties with Zhao Hong.

He had descended the mountain this time for two reasons.

One was to make a name for the gimmick of custom-made pills.

That goal had already been achieved.

Although it had not gone as he had expected, the publicity effect was far better than customizing pills for Yun Feier.

His second goal was to obtain Yin-Yang Essence.

Thus, Lin Daoyun and the others' commotion in the market had wasted quite a bit of time.

He needed to hurry back and discuss the Dao of Yin and Yang with Bing'er.

Moreover, he had just cultivated the Five Elements Swallowing Heaven Scripture and wanted to test the power of this cultivation method.

Five Elements Swallowing Heaven, refining all things beneath heaven.

He wanted to see whether the Five Elements Swallowing Heaven Scripture could refine demonic energy for his own use.

All his previous dual cultivation had merely been for the sake of obtaining Yin-Yang Essence.

But now things were different.

He possessed the Five Elements Swallowing Heaven Scripture.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait!"

As Lu Chen hurried toward the House of Ten Thousand Beauties with Zhao Hong, someone called out from behind him.

He turned around.

He saw a masked woman in white robes, with long hair and an otherworldly air like an immortal.

He could not see through her cultivation.

An expert!

Lu Chen wore a bronze mask, so the woman could not see his expression.

Zhao Hong stepped forward and stood in front of Lu Chen, staring coldly at the newcomer.

Zhao Hong's reaction made Lu Chen secretly nod in approval.

In truth, Zhao Hong was a shrewd old fox who had lived for over a hundred years. He would not let slip a single chance to perform before Lu Chen.

"I wish to discuss alchemy with you, Fellow Daoist. Might you offer me some guidance?"

The one who had caught up was Jiang Yingyue. She had come with sincere intentions to seek instruction.

Lu Chen could not help but freeze at her words. What the hell do I know about alchemy?

Discuss alchemy?

What if he gave himself away?

Discussing lengths, no—discussing life would be more like it.

"I fear I must disappoint you, Fellow Daoist. I have an important matter to attend to and truly have no time to discuss the Dao with you."

Lu Chen refused directly.

"Is that so..."

Jiang Yingyue was greatly disappointed.

"How about this? Come to the House of Ten Thousand Beauties tomorrow night, and we can discuss it then. What do you think?"

Lu Chen suggested.

"The House of Ten Thousand Beauties?" Jiang Yingyue frowned upon hearing that. It was a place of wine and women, but for the sake of seeking Lu Chen's guidance in alchemy, she nodded. "All right. I will certainly come tomorrow night to seek your instruction."

"Then, see you tomorrow night!"

Lu Chen cupped his hands toward Jiang Yingyue, turned around, and left with Zhao Hong.

Watching Lu Chen's departing back, Jiang Yingyue thought, An expert truly does things differently. This great expert actually lives in the House of Ten Thousand Beauties. Could it be that he deliberately resides in a place of wine and women to temper his Dao heart?

Yes, that had to be it.

Jiang Yingyue had actually guessed correctly. Lu Chen truly was tempering himself, though it was merely tempering between men and women.

Since this great expert lived at the House of Ten Thousand Beauties, that made things easy.

Jiang Yingyue turned and left.

Lu Chen and Zhao Hong returned to the House of Ten Thousand Beauties.

"Zhao Hong, is that you? Weren't you about to die? How did you become younger?"

The moment they entered the House of Ten Thousand Beauties, they ran into the madam, Madam Chun.

"Madam Chun, the current me is beyond your reach!"

Zhao Hong looked coldly at Madam Chun.

"What... You... You succeeded in Foundation Establishment? How is that possible?"

Madam Chun stared at Zhao Hong in disbelief.

"Are you disappointed that I did not die of old age?"

Zhao Hong looked at Madam Chun disdainfully.

Madam Chun's expression changed several times.

"You know each other?"

Lu Chen looked at the two of them.

"Reporting to Master, this is your subordinate's former wife."

Zhao Hong hurriedly answered.

"What?"

Lu Chen was dumbfounded. This Madam Chun, still charming and alluring, was actually Zhao Hong's former wife?

Zhao Hong was over a hundred years old. Had this old bull actually eaten tender grass?

"When she saw that I had no hope of Foundation Establishment, she kicked me aside. She even swept away all my cultivation resources and joined the House of Ten Thousand Beauties."

Zhao Hong glared at Madam Chun through gritted teeth.

"Something like that actually happened?"

Lu Chen truly had not expected it.

Another man whose heart had been shattered by a scumbag woman.

"Master? He is actually your master? Could it be that he helped you achieve Foundation Establishment?" Madam Chun was shocked. She then said, "Zhao Hong, you can't blame me for this. Following you, I could not see even a shred of hope!"

Madam Chun sighed helplessly.

"So after joining the House of Ten Thousand Beauties and becoming a madam here, you can see hope?"

Zhao Hong said angrily.

"This..."

Madam Chun was speechless for a moment.

"Now that you've achieved Foundation Establishment, how about we remarry?"

Madam Chun suddenly looked at Zhao Hong, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"Get lost!"

Zhao Hong glared furiously at Madam Chun.

"Don't be so heartless. You and I were husband and wife, after all. As they say, one day as husband and wife brings a hundred days of grace. In truth, I've still thought of you all these years."

Madam Chun gave a seductive smile. If she had a husband at the Foundation Establishment realm, she would no longer need to serve as a madam in the House of Ten Thousand Beauties.

"..."

Lu Chen had now witnessed what it meant to be the pinnacle of scumbag women.

This Madam Chun was something else.

When Zhao Hong had no hope of Foundation Establishment, she had kicked him aside. Now that she saw he had achieved Foundation Establishment, she wanted to remarry him.

Her selfishness had reached the extreme.

But there was no such bargain in this world.

"I told you to get lost. Don't appear before me again and dirty my eyes."

Amid Zhao Hong's fury, an aura of the Foundation Establishment realm surged from his body.

Madam Chun's expression changed drastically.

It felt as though a great mountain had suddenly pressed down upon her body.

"I'll get lost right away..."

Madam Chun retreated in panic.

"Let's go upstairs!"

Lu Chen led Zhao Hong upstairs.

"I refuse to believe I can't win over you, you old thing!"

Madam Chun clenched her fists as she watched Zhao Hong's back.

Lu Chen brought Zhao Hong outside Room Nine of the Earth Grade and took out the room token to open the door.

"Master, why have you come so late tonight? Your servant has waited so bitterly..."

A sweet, coquettish voice drifted from inside the room.

"..."

Zhao Hong was dumbfounded.

What was going on?

"You stand guard outside. No matter who it is, do not let them enter!"

After instructing Zhao Hong, Lu Chen stepped into the room.

"My precious treasure, I'm here!"

Lu Chen said as he walked inside.

Zhao Hong was stunned.

He silently closed the door.

Even a senior expert like Master enjoyed this sort of thing?

Not long after Lu Chen entered the room, Yun Dingtian, head of the Yun Household, arrived with his son Yun Ao and daughter Yun Feier.

Zhao Hong hurriedly stopped them.

"I, Yun Dingtian, have brought these two rebellious son and daughter to beg forgiveness from Senior!"

As he spoke, Yun Dingtian directly made Yun Ao and Yun Feier kneel outside the room door.
