Chapter 20: Chapter 20 Xu Yueru’s Counterattack!

"Lu Chen, you!"

Lu Chen made his move, swift as lightning. By the time Xu Yueru reacted, the Martial Artist of the Marrow Refinement Realm was already lying motionless on the ground!

She also retreated several steps, her look towards Lu Chen filled with terror!

"Xu Yueru, it’s your turn now!"

Lu Chen advanced slowly, looking at Xu Yueru as if she were already dead.

This venomous woman, where was her amorous demeanor now?

As Lu Chen approached, she too began to retreat slowly, weeping and begging miserably.

Even, she removed her outer clothes, leaving only an amulet covering her!

"Lu Chen, spare me, I was forced too..."

"Hmph," Lu Chen scoffed coldly, "Whether you were coerced has lost all relevance! Just for your promiscuity alone, you deserve death!"

Having said that, Lu Chen had already picked up the fire poker!

Unexpectedly, Xu Yueru suddenly threw her clothes at Lu Chen’s face!

The scent was overwhelming, and Lu Chen immediately felt dizzy. Had Xu Yueru’s clothes been drugged?

His body swayed several times, and Lu Chen, with a look of disgust, tore the clothes from his face, only to see that Xu Yueru had already run far away, and what’s more, she was running in the direction of Qin Yaotiao!

He saw through Xu Yueru’s intentions in an instant—she was aiming to capture Qin Yaotiao as a hostage!

Qin Yaotiao was nothing more than a maidservant of the Lu Family, and Xu Yueru, after all, was a Martial Artist of the Flesh Refinement Realm!

No threat to him, but to Qin Yaotiao...

Lu Chen’s eyes seemed about to split open, and he quickly galvanized his Spiritual Power to sprint forward. The grove was pitch-black, but to his eyes, it was as clear as day, not affecting Lu Chen in the slightest!

"Xu Yueru, you deserve to die!"

As he saw that she had already pounced upon the fleeing Qin Yaotiao, Lu Chen let out a shout of outrage and alarm, his voice echoing incessantly through the woods!

"Lu Chen, I just want to live," Xu Yueru’s face was the picture of misery, hair disheveled, and the spring light beneath her amulet inadvertently revealed. She clasped Qin Yaotiao’s neck with one hand, and positioned the other like a claw above it, "You and I have no deep hatred! Just hand over the jade pendant your mother left you, and I will let Qin Yaotiao go!"

"Xu Yueru," Lu Chen’s eyes almost spat fire as he bellowed, "Let Yaotiao go, and you can have the jade pendant!"

Xu Yueru sneered, "Lu Chen, I don’t trust you. You can kill even a Marrow Refinement Realm Martial Artist, and I am only in the Flesh Refinement Realm after all!"

"I, Lu Chen, always keep my word!"

Xu Yueru let out a snort of laughter and said, "I, Xu Yueru, also keep my word, but do you believe me?"

Lu Chen’s expression froze. This woman, adept in deceitful words, had even managed to become entangled with Lu Zhan, a younger member of his family. How could he possibly trust her?

"See, you don’t trust me!"

Xu Yueru’s voice again became sultry as before, "Sometimes, even I don’t trust myself! Lu Chen, in this world there are only interests, no trust! That’s why I need to have the item in my hands personally before I might possibly let Qing Yaotiao go!"

Seeing that Lu Chen kept staring at her without saying a word, Xu Yueru spoke again, "Qin Yaotiao is my amulet. Without her, you will definitely kill me! So, don’t expect me to let her go first. However, I can promise you this: after obtaining the jade pendant, I will return to Yuzhou City and then let Qin Yaotiao go free, allowing her to come out on her own. How about that?"

Lu Chen remained motionless.

Xu Yueru’s face turned frosty, "Lu Chen, you only have two options! Either do as I say, or kill me right here. But I assure you, before you act, I can have Qin Yaotiao join me in death!"

As her words ended, Xu Yueru’s hand flashed by, scratching a bloody streak across Qin Yaotiao’s neck with her fingernail!

Lu Chen cried out urgently, "Stop, I agree!"

Qin Yaotiao also yelled, "Young master, you mustn’t!"

She wasn’t foolish—if Lu Chen didn’t agree, her death would mean Xu Yueru’s as well!

But if Lu Chen were to agree, Xu Yueru would surely take her to Yuzhou City and then kill her!

In that case, not only would Lu Chen’s possessions be taken, but she would also die in vain!

Consequently, Qin Yaotiao strained her delicate neck and deliberately thrust it against Xu Yueru’s fingernails!
