Chapter 222: Chapter 222 The Merciless Old Woman

As soon as Qin Chuan thought about finally finding a way to break the Kunlun Divine Poison that had tortured him for a full ten years, his heart was filled with excitement.

"Break for me!"

With a light shout from Qin Chuan, there suddenly erupted a burst of astonishing momentum from within his body.

"Boom!"

A loud noise followed, and the Stone Breaker pressing down on him instantly shattered.

Qin Chuan stood atop the ruins, feeling the surging strength within him, too excited for words.

"As the Kunlun Divine Poison in my body weakens, my strength also recovers significantly."

He murmured to himself, his gaze suddenly deepened, and, clenching his fists, said, "One day, I will step into the Kunlun Divine Prison again!"

Once he had completely dealt with the Kunlun Divine Poison, it would be the moment for his strength and memory to fully recover. He believed that day was very near.

"The owner of the voice I heard before I fell unconscious is very likely Elder Tang’s granddaughter. As long as I find her, the Kunlun Divine Poison can do no harm to me."

Just as he was preparing to look for Tang Yue’er, his phone suddenly rang.

As soon as the call connected, he heard a sweet voice say, "Daddy, why aren’t you home yet? Xiao Rou misses you."

The words from Xiao Rou made Qin Chuan’s heart melt. He tried to speak as softly as possible, "Xiao Rou, daddy is still busy, and it might be a little late to get home. Why don’t you sleep with Aunt Xiao for now, okay?"

"But, Xiao Rou misses daddy now. What should I do?"

Xiao Rou’s voice was tinged with a cry, as if she was on the verge of tears if Qin Chuan dared not agree.

Qin Chuan immediately felt troubled. He had just found a way to suppress the Kunlun Divine Poison, and finding Elder Tang’s granddaughter would solve the problem.

But Xiao Rou had only just been separated from Ye Qingwan, who had raised her for five years, and nighttime was when the little one missed her family the most.

Now that the mother in her eyes was gone, and her father wasn’t there either, she must have been extremely sad and distressed.

"Xiao Rou, how about Aunt Xiao tells you a story?"

As Qin Chuan was feeling troubled, Xiao Mengyi’s voice came through from the other end of the phone.

"Waah~"

Xiao Rou suddenly burst into tears, sobbing as she said, "Aunt Xiao, does mommy not want Xiao Rou anymore? Does daddy not want Xiao Rou either?"

"The kids at kindergarten all say Xiao Rou is a wild child with no daddy. Xiao Rou is so sad!"

Xiao Rou’s words were like a sharp knife, stabbing fiercely into Qin Chuan’s heart.

He had been abandoned by his biological father into the Kunlun Divine Prison since he was a child, growing up without the companionship of his parents, alone in a place like the Kunlun Divine Prison. He had suffered countless hardships to finally grow up.

Upon hearing Xiao Rou’s words, his heart was indescribably pained.

Qin Chuan quickly said, "How could daddy not want you? Xiao Rou, daddy will come home to be with you right now!"

Xiao Rou’s crying stopped abruptly, and she asked in surprise, "Daddy, really?"

Qin Chuan said with a smile, "Of course, it’s true. Let Aunt Xiao stay with you for now, and daddy will come home right now!"

"Yay!"

Xiao Rou immediately smiled through her tears, excitedly saying, "Xiao Rou has daddy to keep her company too! Xiao Rou is so happy!"

After hanging up the phone, Qin Chuan felt a twinge of regret. He had planned to find Elder Tang’s granddaughter, but he couldn’t bear to upset Xiao Rou, so he had to return home first.

"The Kunlun Divine Poison inside me shouldn’t erupt again in a short time."

Qin Chuan said to himself, "Since Elder Tang’s granddaughter has appeared in Tianshan Grand Canyon, she definitely won’t leave so quickly. I’ll find her tomorrow."

Before long, he left Tianshan Grand Canyon.

Just five minutes after he had left, an old woman followed Tang Yue’er to where Qin Chuan had been.

The old woman pointed at the ruins in front of them and asked, "Yue’er, is it here?"

Tang Yue’er stared blankly at the ruins, with a trace of panic in her eyes.

The place had been intact before, so how had it suddenly turned into a pile of Stone Breaker?

Could the fated one have been crushed beneath the Stone Breaker?

"Yue’er!"

Without receiving a response from Tang Yue’er, the old woman called out again with a hint of anger in her voice.

Only then did Tang Yue’er snap back to reality, nodding slightly with red-rimmed eyes as she said, "There used to be a beast’s den right here, it was at this spot where the Celestial Yin Energy inside me seemed to be drawn out by some mysterious force, and then it erupted."

The old woman didn’t speak, but frowned slightly before stepping onto the Stone Breaker to investigate.

Soon, her expression turned extremely sinister, as she said with a fierce look, "Someone has gotten ahead of us!"

Tang Yue’er was taken aback. Did the old woman mean that the treasure here had been taken away?

But she knew that there were no treasures here.

There was only a man lying there, poisoned, who had actively absorbed the Celestial Yin Energy from her body.

Tang Yue’er asked nervously, "Grandma, do you think the treasure hunter could have been pressed under the cave when it collapsed?"

Her greatest fear was that the man had been buried under these ruins, hoping in her heart that he had already left safely.

The old woman shook her head and said coldly, "He has already left with the treasures!"

"He’s left?"

Tang Yue’er felt a bit of joy.

Although she had no idea how the old woman knew that the person had left, she did know that if the old woman said so, it meant that there truly was no one beneath the Stone Breaker.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Even she didn’t know why she felt such a strong sense of familiarity with the man she had only met once.

The old woman suddenly turned around, her eyes like an eagle’s, fixing on Tang Yue’er as she asked coldly, "The treasure here has been taken by someone else, and you seem relieved?"

Tang Yue’er’s face changed drastically as she hurriedly denied, "Grandma, I didn’t!"

"You didn’t?"

The old woman moved step by step towards Tang Yue’er, her ugly face full of ferocity.

Scared, Tang Yue’er retreated again and again, "Grandma, I... I really didn’t."

"Slap!"

The old woman suddenly raised her hand and slapped Tang Yue’er across the face, sending her flying. Her face, already swollen from the old woman’s previous slap, now swelled even more.

"What exactly are you hiding from me?"

The old woman said angrily, "Don’t think of deceiving me, or I will kill you right now!"

Frightened, Tang Yue’er trembled all over and said with a look of panic, "Grandma, I really haven’t hidden anything!"

"You’ll face the consequences if you refuse to drink a toast!"

A ruthless look flashed in the old woman’s eyes, and she began to mutter an incantation.

"Ah..."

Tang Yue’er let out a piercing scream, her face twisted in agony.

Underneath the skin of her arm, it seemed as though a live worm was moving about, causing her to scream every time it did.

"Grandma, please stop, ah..."

In pain, Tang Yue’er rolled around on the ground.

The worm that had been moving under the skin of her arm had now moved to her neck and kept burrowing toward her face.
