Quick Transmigration: Irresistible Beauty
Chapter 353 - 353: Blackened Junior Sister (58)

Jin Huo Zhu then reached a trembling hand into the robes on his chest.

"I do have the Ice Glazed Bead with me," Jin Huo Zhu said. "After I give it to you, can you promise to spare the lives of my family members?"

"Stop talking so much nonsense," Yue Ran said, a tinge of villainous charm in her voice. "Do you think you are qualified to negotiate any terms with me? While I am in a good mood, you…"

Before Yue Ran could finish speaking, Jin Huo Zhu took out a purple crystal from his chest and threw it at Yue Ran while laughing gleefully, "Go to hell, you evil witch!"

"Alas," Yue Ran sighed a little tiredly. She hated being interrupted by others the most.

Yue Ran: There are many other things that I hate "the most." Being interrupted by others is one of them. And worse of all, those who dare to harm my face must live a life worse than death!

The purple crystal was thrown at her with a sharp whistle and a silver metallic light flashed across the dark night and the sea of fire. Then sharp clinking noises came into everyone's ears.

It turned out that the purple crystal was swiftly cut down by Yue Ran with a sword before it fell to the hard ground, splitting into two perfect halves.

Yue Ran examined the once-intact purple crystals on the ground and nodded to herself.

It was a very clean cut. The purple crystal was sliced symmetrically down to the number of its atoms. Sure enough, her skills in using the sword do not diminish even without practice. She is a true genius! A genius amongst the geniuses!

"How is that possible? How is that even possible?" Jin Huo Zhu questioned wildly and frantically as he stared wide-eyed at the immaculately clean cut of the purple crystal on the ground. "That is the explosive crystal core refined with the essence of the Heavenly Demon Beast that the emperor gave me for self-defense…" He landed on the ground in incredulity. "How can it be broken so easily with a mere cut of a sword?!" He shouted in disbelief, "How can that be?!"

Jin Huo Zhu is a revered general of this generation and the prime minister of the previous dynasty. How could he not keep some treasures and artifacts that might save his life during a precarious situation? Even so, the person he was facing now was not someone else but Long Yuan, a top master who had the ability to destroy the world a hundred years ago.

Although Long Yuan was not as strong as he used to be, he was still more than enough to deal with a measly Jin Huo Zhu.

And even if the most prominent general in the imperial city, General Qiao, came, he would still probably have to fight Long Yuan on equal terms, given that they were pretty much evenly matched in terms of strength. Not even this General Qiao could beat Long Yuan, who currently lack his former high level of power.

In this world today, Cheng Mo is the strongest master in the alliance between the martial arts community and the faction of immortal cultivators, and General Qiao, Qiao Jie, is the top master and the subordinate of the emperor.

Even under the contract between Long Yuan and Yue Ran, the strength Long Yuan holds could still be comparable to the two strongest individuals in the world today.

"You talk too much," Yue Ran said simply.

Yue Ran made a gesture with her hand, and Hai Bing Tu, who understood her silent command, smiled softly with lowered eyebrows. In an instant, the head of Jin Huo Zhu's second wife was sliced cleanly from the neck and thrown in front of him.

Jin Huo Zhu looked at the hideous death of the person he had gotten along with day and night, and he had never felt so timid in his heart. He hesitated again and again, even after receiving the head of his second wife.

Yue Ran frowned impatiently, and another head was thrown in front of Jin Huo Zhu.

This time, it belonged to his youngest son.

"Qi'er!!!" Jin Huo Zhu exclaimed, letting out a sorrowful cry. "You are a vicious woman! You evil witch! I curse you!"

"Hm?" Yue Ran blinked in leisure and slight interest.

From the response given by the elderly man, Yue Ran could deduce that Jin Huo Zhu only cares about his sons, but not his wives and concubines. How ruthless. Well, not that she cares about it either.

"I will give the bead to you!" Jin Huo Zhu yelled out dejectedly. "Is it not enough for me to give it to you?!"

Ruan Ruan, who was relaxing comfortably in Yue Ran's sea of consciousness, wanted to roll his eyes.

Things would not have progressed as far as they have if Jin Huo Zhu had handed the Ice Glazed Bead to his master in the first place. And now he was yelling out and cursing that the actions his master took were too much when he himself had tried to assassinate his master with an enhanced type of explosive crystal? Talk about a hypocrite.

"Qi'er..."

Jin Huo Zhu has always been very fond of his two sons. He had helped clean up all the loose ends the two had left and covered all the mistakes they made outside—that is, the burning, killing, and looting they both committed. Jin Huo Zhu did not find anyone else in this family important except his only two sons, not his wives and concubines.

The weight of his two sons outweighs everything else in his heart.

The elderly man's face was filled with grief and anger. Eventually, he gave in and handed the Ice Glazed Bead to Yue Ran.

When the two beads came into contact, it seemed as though a link of some kind had been formed, and the flow of spiritual power could be felt from them.
