Young Master Is Being Jealous Again!
Chapter 1116: Cross Me and I Will Still Destroy It!

Chapter 1116: Chapter 1116: Cross Me and I Will Still Destroy It!

Qin Ruan skillfully took a handkerchief out of Huo Qiang’s pocket as she passed by.

She walked over to Huo Yunjiao, holding the hand that had choked Xuan Qing, and carefully wiped with the handkerchief.

Huo Yunjiao lowered his eyes, Qin Ruan’s slightly furrowed brows reflected in his eyes, he pursed his lips and said, "I don’t like the eyes with which he was staring at you."

The various malicious intents in those eyes greatly annoyed him, and he could not control the inner urge to kill.

Qin Ruan chuckled lightly, casually saying, "If he’s killed, he’s killed, but Josh is going to have a tough time."

She pulled back the Golden Whip tied around Xuan Qing’s corpse, and, without turning her head, flung the whip out.

The Golden Whip once again imprisoned Xuan Qing’s soul, making it impossible to escape.

Qin Ruan turned and stared at the soul floating in the void, her eyes emanating a chilling and dangerous glow, and said lightly, "Although you are dead, sacrificing your soul could transfer the Puppet attached to Josh."

"No! You can’t do this!"

Fear mingled with horror appeared on Xuan Qing’s Puppet-fueled face.

Seeing how frightened he looked, it was clear how dangerous a soul sacrifice could be.

Qin Ruan ignored him, held Huo Yunjiao’s hand, and led him away from Xuan Qing. She made him sit down on the couch and softly instructed, "You must not move. Once I’ve dealt with the Puppet on Josh, we’ll go back and rest."

Huo Yunjiao curled his lips into a smile, saying affectionately, "Alright."

Although Qin Ruan hid it well, he could still sense the occasional concern she inadvertently released.

A surge of Evil Qi had entered his body when he had just wiped out Xuan Qing.

Now that he was in human form, he also had to bear the karma associated with reaping lives.

Qin Ruan let go of Third Master’s hand, turned, and walked toward Josh, dragging the unconscious man towards Xuan Qing’s soul.

Sacrificing Xuan Qing’s soul was the last way to break the dark curse on Josh.

Simple and brutal.

Xuan Qing’s expression twisted, his face filled with frightened unease: "Don’t come near! I won’t agree! The Witch Clan won’t let you off!"

"The Witch Clan?" Qin Ruan’s exquisite face turned ice-cold, the corners of her lips curling into a devilish smile: "Although I don’t know what you’re relying on, if you dare cross me, I will wipe it out just the same!"

Xuan Qing’s pupils trembled intensely. His soul, trapped by the Golden Whip, kept drifting backward, trying to avoid Qin Ruan’s approach.

Once his soul was sacrificed, he would no longer be himself, devoured by the Puppet, never to be reborn.

Quivering incessantly, Xuan Qing’s soul was truly afraid at this moment.

Qin Ruan gave him no chance to escape, raising her hand to draw him in through the air.

Xuan Qing yelled loudly, "No! Don’t! I will kill you! Kill you!"

Seeing such a cowardly and embarrassed side of him, Qin Ruan’s smile widened. She placed Josh on the ground, pulling Xuan Qing’s soul in front of her: "You will never have that chance!"

With that, not giving Xuan Qing another chance to speak, she pressed his soul closer to Josh lying unconscious on the ground.

As their foreheads touched, Qin Ruan forcefully pressed on Josh’s arm, releasing the black mist trapped there.

Her hand, pressed on Xuan Qing’s soul, erupted with strong Nether Power. Both the man and the Puppet were enveloped in a sacred golden light, as Xuan Qing let out a painful wail.

He felt a surging power enter his soul, his spirit being torn apart by the force. A stream of Black Evil Energy also flowed continuously from Josh’s arm into his soul.

The tearing of these two forces made Xuan Qing experience what it meant not to rest even in death.

"Ah ah ah!!!"

In the peak of agony, he opened his mouth, letting out a pitiful howl.

Xuan Qing’s mouth, big enough to fit a ping pong ball, slowly stretched wider and continued to expand, forming a basin-sized opening that looked quite sinister.

Qin Ruan’s eyes and eyebrows conveyed a look of disgust; she stood upright, stepping on Xuan Qing’s back.

Seeing Josh’s face grow paler as the black mist around him faded, Qin Ruan quickly formed hand seals.

Holy golden light emanated from her fingertips, enveloping Josh’s body like thousands of strands of golden coins.

Xuan Qing’s mouth gaped open, and the Black Evil Energy within Josh’s body surged into him through the wide opening.

Qin Ruan sacrificed Xuan Qing’s soul to the Puppet Energy inside Josh using her Nether Power.

At the critical moment, the Puppet Energy dwelling in Josh’s body hesitated to come out, as if it feared something.

Xuan Qing’s entire body was enveloped in a thick Black Evil Energy, his face hideous and twisted.

Noticing the Puppet Energy’s fear, his pale, ugly face momentarily stiffened, then revealed a look of satisfaction.

He slowly closed his large mouth, emitting a sinister laugh, "Hahaha... It’s just a Puppet I cultivated; how dare she disrespect her master? You all lose, hahaha..."

Xuan Qing, both arrogant and contemptuous, had a face one felt an urge to slap.

Qin Ruan’s beautiful, cold face flashed with anger; she would not demean herself. She freed one hand and, from a distance, angrily slapped the other.

"Smack!"

The crisp sound of Nether Power striking Xuan Qing’s face was loud, bringing a gratifying sense of relief.

Chastened, Xuan Qing lowered his head, hiding the hate and killing intent on his face.

Qin Ruan had not expected the Puppet Energy inside Josh to be afraid to accept the soul sacrifice from Xuan Qing.

She manipulated the thousands of golden threads in her palm to lift Josh, who was lying on the ground, into the air.

Her palms doubled their Nether Power, relentlessly suppressing the Puppet Energy inside Josh, forcing it to exit the body.

A hoarse mournful cry erupted from Josh’s mouth, the tone ambiguous, clearly not characteristic of Josh himself.

Qin Ruan slightly furrowed her brows upon hearing it; she recognized it as a woman’s voice.

Josh’s tightly shut eyes cracked slightly open; he slowly turned his head toward Qin Ruan, his mouth moving weakly, "Sister-in-law—"

The voice was raspy, feeble, yet unmistakably Josh’s.

The gaze he directed at Qin Ruan was filled with pleading.

Qin Ruan stepped forward, leaning down to ask softly, "What do you want to say?"

Wrapped in dense golden threads, Josh’s lips were pale as he struggled to look at Qin Ruan, his lips faintly moving, "She’s, she’s in agony, please help, her..."

After managing to say these words intermittently, Josh’s eyes began to cloud over, the pupils slowly dilating.

Qin Ruan placed a finger on Josh’s forehead, infusing energy to keep him lucid, and pressed, "Who is she, the Puppet Energy inside you?"

"Yes—"

After Josh slowly responded with one word, his eyes closed tightly.

Despite Qin Ruan’s supportive Nether Power, his body could not withstand the vitality drain from the Puppet Energy possession.

Qin Ruan narrowed her eyes, only a deep, unfathomable darkness visible.

Seeing Josh speak for the Puppet Energy, she was curious to know just how miserable the other party was.
