Chapter 289: Does the Third Master know about this ferocious side of Madam?

Chapter 289: Chapter 289: Does the Third Master know about this ferocious side of Madam?

"Shut up!" Huo Chuan turned and glared at him.

The jerk was screaming in his ear, almost deafening him.

The evil creature leapt into the room, its body resembling a human on all fours, crawling in circles on the floor.

Its blood-red eyes never left Qin Ruan.

Clearly, she was its target.

"Hiss! Roar!!"

The incredibly ugly monster let out a shrill scream at Qin Ruan.

The piercing sound was terrifying and horrifying.

Hidden behind Huo Chuan, Rong Jing couldn’t help but curse.

Even Huo Chuan, upon seeing the disgusting appearance of the monster, turned a faint white despite his calm.

Qin Ruan backed away, whispering, "You guys go ahead, move slowly, don’t disturb it."

Huo Chuan said nothing. He looked at Rong Changting, who was standing by the bed, his soul almost departed from his body.

Rong Changting was so scared that he couldn’t even respond to Huo Chuan’s gaze, let alone react.

Huo Chuan let go of Rong Jing’s arm, instructing in a low voice, "You go first."

"My dad..." Rong Jing’s face was anxious as he also spoke in hushed tones.

"I’ll get him out."

"Alright——"

Rong Jing slowly headed towards the door, moving as though he was on thin ice.

"Bang!"

Before he could reach the door, it was slammed shut with a loud bang.

The sudden noise startled Rong Jing.

"Damn!!!"

He cursed as he hopped around, running towards Huo Chuan like a madman.

Qin Ruan heard the commotion behind her and glanced towards the door.

Standing at the door was a short man in a gray Taoist robe.

He had an ugly face and a treacherous look.

"It was you who killed my Human-faced Snake!" The Dark Taoist stared dangerously at Qin Ruan, his voice hoarse and certain.

The monster’s earlier provocation was his idea. He clearly saw that only Qin Ruan in the room had the power of the Mystical Technique. It couldn’t be anyone else.

"So you’re trying to kill Rong Changting?"

Qin Ruan answered his question with her own, her eyes ice cold.

"It is you!"

The Dark Taoist slowly advanced, his vile gaze appraising Qin Ruan.

"I didn’t expect a young girl like you. You must be somewhat capable to have killed my 138 Human-faced Snakes."

Qin Ruan seemed to be provoking the Dark Taoist on purpose, responding without emotion, "Thank you for the compliment, but those snakes were not even enough for me to warm up."

"Overestimating yourself!" The Dark Taoist’s already ugly face twisted even more.

While he was indeed angered by Qin Ruan, he found himself harboring some unsavory ideas about her lovely face.

A light of lust shone in the Dark Taoist’s eyes as he greedily stared at Qin Ruan’s beautiful face and her alluring figure, although she was dressed casually.

He brazenly proposed, "Spare your life today if you surrender. In exchange, you will serve me from now on. I can even teach you more secrets of making puppets. How about it?"

"I don’t think so. You bear the lives of hundreds of people, just like an Evil Puppet. Today, since you’ve fallen into my hands, I’ll make sure you won’t get away!"

Qin Ruan’s gaze was cold and her authoritative aura was anything but subtle. She was both arrogant and flaunting.

The words and gaze of the Dark Taoist offended and nauseated her.

"Ungrateful!"

The Dark Taoist scoffed coldly, all pretense of affection gone.

He looked at the evil creature on all fours and ordered coldly, "Tear her apart, she shall be your food for tonight."

"Hiss! Roar!!"

The monster joyously hissed and roared, simultaneously sounding like a snake and a wild beast.

Qin Ruan watched the monster with cold eyes, wondering how on earth this evil Taoist had created such a disgusting creature.

With a small smirk on her lips and a face full of mockery, Qin Ruan retorted, "You want to kill me? Just check if you’re competent enough first."

"Ignorant!" The Dark Taoist mocked.

This puppet of his was formed by fusing humans with Human-faced Snakes, and its lethality was several times stronger than the latter.

Qin Ruan was already on the move.

As the evil creature pounced on her, she saw the white light on its limbs — the reflected glow of its sharp claws.

Its mouth wide open, it tried to swallow Qin Ruan whole.

Qin Ruan sidestepped and rolled agilely in the wide open space. The Golden Whip in her hand swiftly appeared.

When the monster charged again, Qin Ruan swung out her whip.

"Slap!"

The whip lashed onto the slimy flesh of the monster.

"Roar!!!"

Furious, the monster let out a shrill roar.

Disregarding the black smoke rising from its wounds, the monster once again charged at Qin Ruan.

Qin Ruan dodged, changing her angle and attacking with her whip again.

Unfortunately, she miscalculated. This time, the monster was heading for Huo Chuan, Rong Changting, and Rong Jing who were behind her.

"Ah!! Don’t eat me!!!"

With the monster rushing towards him, Rong Jing let out a terrified scream.

Then, he took to his heels and ran wildly around the room, dragging his terrified father along with him.

Provoked by Rong Jing’s screams, Rong Changting came back to his senses and started screaming as well when he saw the monster.

As the father and son fled, Huo Chuan still stood still on the spot.

Rong Jing, who had already run to the wardrobe, stopped when he noticed that the monster behind him isn’t giving chase.

He turned around, saw Huo Chuan unmoving, and yelled, "Big guy! Run!!!"

If he doesn’t run now, the monster will devour him.

Huo Chuan wanted to run, but his escape routes are blocked.

To his right was a wall, behind was a dead end, and straight ahead was a beeline into the monster’s mouth.

The only direction he could run was to the left, towards Qin Ruan.

He couldn’t bring danger to Madam. Huo Chuan’s cheek twitched, he clenched his teeth tightly and maintained eye contact with the terrifying and bloody creature before him.

The evil Puppet opened its mouth, revealing a thin and terrifyingly long tongue, which it used to lick its shrapely sharp teeth.

Its eyes were locked onto Huo Chuan, as if he were a meal on a plate, ready for it to eat.

"What are you standing there for, run over here!" Qin Ruan shouted sternly.

Upon hearing her words, Huo Chuan immediately began to move, while the Puppet lunged towards him.

Huo Chuan’s speed was several times faster than a normal person, and almost instantly, he disappeared from the spot.

To the Puppet, the frail and small human who seemed easy to devour had become its dessert.

Yet, it had never imagined that its prey could be so fast, disappearing in front of its own eyes a blink of an eye.

"Roar!! Roar!! Roar!!!"

"Roar roar roar roar!!!!"

It was furious, extremely furious!

These humans were too cunning. It wanted to kill and gulp them all down.

The Puppet pounded the ground with its front limbs, blood-red eyes locked cruelly on Qin Ruan and Huo Chuan.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed through Qin Ruan’s eyes, and her lips pursed together tightly.

She warned Huo Chuan, "Don’t let it get close to you, this thing is more dangerous than the human-faced serpent we encountered earlier."

"Yes, Madam," Huo Chuan replied seriously.

He didn’t want to get close to this monster, it was utterly disgusting.

Having spent many years in the Huo family, he had seen all kinds of punishments including flaying, but compared to the unsightly Puppet this thing was more revolting.

Its seemingly twitching flesh reeked of decaying flesh, and its extremely ugly face was both sinister and horrifying.

It was too scary. He wanted to return to the Huo family. Staying by Madam’s side was really dangerous.

He no longer desired to witness such eye-popping, bloody, and stimulating scenes.

Huo Chuan wiped his face and looked at Qin Ruan’s tense face.

He thought to himself: Did the young master know about his wife’s ruthless side?

Did he know that she had dealt with these Puppets?

Would he still treat her like a child if he knew?

You can’t judge a book by its cover, this saying was deeply reflected in Little Madam’s actions.

The Hidden Department of the Huo Family had long known that the young master was to marry a woman from a small, unknown family, and many people had discussed it in private.

They had fantasised over the person they would serve in the future.

Would she be a cold woman with a tough character, a gentle and refined lady from a noble family, or would she be a Little Princess, deeply loved by the young master, and forever protected under his wings?

When they met Qin Ruan, they unanimously understood that she was a delicate flower.

A delicate flower that needed the protection of the young master, deserving of love and pity.

Huo Chuan couldn’t help but wipe his face again, his expression somewhat distorted.

Where is the delicate flower? If it was a flower, it was definitely a flower that commands respect and authority.

Qin Ruan was unaware of Huo Chuan’s mental commentary.

She didn’t want to tangle with the Puppet any longer. As it rushed towards her, she threw out her Golden Whip from her hand, which entwined itself around it.

The Puppet, which was leaping in mid-air, fell to the ground with a plop.

Its body which lacked any skin fell to the ground like mud, making an eerie sound.

"Hiss hiss hiss!!!"

"Roar roar roar roar!!!"

The Puppet roared furiously. It couldn’t break free of the Golden Whip that was imbued with Nether Power.

The Golden Whip wrapped around it, and the Nether Power caused its body to emit a dense black smoke and burned its flesh, spreading a horrible stink in the room.

"Vomit!"

"So disgusting! Vomit!"

Rong Jing vomited due to the unbearable stench.

Rong Changting didn’t look well either, his eyes moving in shock between the Puppet and Qin Ruan.

He found himself at a loss as to whom he should fear.

Huo Chuan could just about bear it, but his face turned a shade paler.

Seeing his carefully cultivated Puppet easily overcome by Qin Ruan’s mysterious Golden Whip, and put up zero resistance, the Taoist Priest Wu was horrified.

He finally realized how formidable Qin Ruan was. Staring at Qin Ruan, he asked, "Who are you exactly?!"

The Taoist Priest Wu began to feel uneasy.

Unfortunately, it was already too late.

His last resort was easily dealt with by Qin Ruan. The pressure on him now was by no means small.

Qin Ruan’s deep eyes glanced sideways at the Taoist Priest Wu standing at the door, "Who I am is not important."

She took several steps towards the Taoist Priest, "Who asked you to kill Rong Changting?"

There was a chilling coldness in Qin Ruan’s ruthless eyes, her expression even more terrifyingly cold.

Such an Evil Path follower deserves to be executed, made to endure the eighteen layers of Hell and then reincarnated as an animal.

"The boss of Tianrong Group, Mr Li."

Taoist Priest Wu sold out the mastermind without hesitation.

As Qin Ruan got closer, a glint flashed in his eyes, his hand at his side subtly emitting a black mist.

"So, it really was him!" Rong Changting was shocked and exclaimed.
