Chapter 292: Chapter 292 Third Master is Angry: Girl, this is the third time

That wasn’t an animal’s flesh and blood, but a living human being.

Brilliant red blood quickly spread from beneath him, staining a large portion of the ground.

The intense smell of blood mingled with the putrid stench in the air, creating an indescribably strange odor.

Any who witnessed this scene today would likely never forget it.

The two Underworld Envoys had seen all kinds of punishments in Hell before, such as flaying, which failed to ruffle their composure.

But Rong Jing and Rong Changting, father and son, couldn’t stomach watching a child being skinned alive, and turned away to vomit.

This wasn’t old rotting flesh hidden under a layer of pitch black decay, but rather clearly exposed fat and densely packed blood vessels separated from skin and flesh.

The odd creature transformed into a child’s appearance and stopped struggling after losing breath in a split second.

He was completely liberated.

The soul became free and was no longer bound.

Qin Ruan subtly pulled back her foot, unintentionally diverting her gaze from the scene as it was a bit too much for her to accept.

An Underworld Envoy squinted at the spot where Qin Ruan had just stepped: "Miss Qin, this child has lost one soul and three vital energies, thus he must have been refined. Since he’s already dead, we’ll take his ghost away as well."

Qin Ruan pursed her lips and said, "Thank you both."

"You’re too polite."

The Underworld Envoys proceeded to take away the ghost of the child who lay on the ground, looking dazed and simple-minded.

They came hurriedly and left just as quickly.

The chill receded, and the temperature inside the room returned to normal.

Qin Ruan swayed slightly, and Huo Chuan quickly stepped forward to steady her.

"Madam, are you alright?"

With Huo Chuan’s help, Qin Ruan steadied herself.

"I’m fine. What time is it?"

Huo Chuan replied: "Eleven o’clock."

"Time really flies." Qin Ruan sighed.

She hadn’t eaten dinner yet and had been tussling with the human-faced snake and Daoist Master Wu till now. Not only was she hungry, but fatigue was also gradually spreading across her whole body.

"Let’s go back."

Huo Chuan quietly said, "Madam, Third Master is here."

Qin Ruan glanced at him: "Did you inform him?"

Huo Chuan shook his head: "No."

Qin Ruan frowned; so how did Third Master know she was at the Rong Family’s place and even came looking for her?

As she turned her head, she was met with two pairs of eyes filled with both shock and fear.

The father and son duo of the Rong Family now held a new understanding of Qin Ruan; she was very capable, but also extremely cruel.

Qin Ruan’s lips thinned as she said, "The issue with the evil spirits has been resolved. Now, you need to find out who was behind this murder attempt. Get with it and solve this mess as soon as possible, in case more problems arise. I’ll leave now if there’s nothing else."

"Miss Qin!" Rong Changting hastily called out.

Regardless of his fear of Qin Ruan, he quickly walked over.

"We can’t stay in this house anymore, we might as well leave together."

Qin Ruan surveyed the room’s messy interior: "As you wish."

At that moment, all she wanted was to rest; she was very tired and felt as if her body had been drained.

Huo Chuan helped her leave the room, with the father and son duo from the Rong Family close behind.

Outside the Rong Family mansion.

A number of modified bulletproof luxury cars were parked there.

Huo Zhi, dressed in a black tight-fitting uniform, stood in front of the cars, with the Huo Family’s Hidden Guards arrayed in two rows beside her, each of them having solemn faces and being on full alert.

Huo Yunjiao was sitting in the car. When she saw Qin Ruan exiting the Rong Family’s residence being supported by Huo Chuan, she opened the door and stepped out of the car.

Third Master’s naturally magnificent presence, and an irresistibly handsome, noble visage were revealed to them, completely expressionless. His broad shoulders and narrow waist, and the elegant sway of his tall body with each step he took, were even more noticeable than a catwalk model.

As he approached, the Rong Family’s father and son detected an air of complete control and a latent sense of danger emanating from this man.

The seemingly gentle and scholarly man radiated an innate coldness and ruthlessness deep within his bones.

His innate elegance and magnanimity, together with a simultaneous fierce and commanding air, left them uneasy.

Third Master walked up to Qin Ruan and Huo Chuan: "What happened?"

His voice was low and hoarse, conveying a trace of displeasure.

"Tired, haven’t eaten." Qin Ruan answered before Huo Chuan could speak.

She noticed that Third Master was angry, seemingly quite so, but was unsure of the reason behind his anger.

Third Master’s deep gaze passed over Qin Ruan to look at the Rong Family’s father and son standing behind her. This look was filled with complicated indifference and coldness.

His arrogant eyes and powerful aura which were formed over years of holding high positions, faintly radiated from him.

The father and son duo from the Rong Family became tense and their bodies unconsciously went rigid.

"Who is this man, and how does just being looked at by him make us feel afraid?"

Third Master withdrew his indifferent gaze, lowered his eyes and stared at Qin Ruan. His long eyelashes were even more prominent underneath his gaze.

Upon meeting his intense gaze, Qin Ruan saw the danger lurking deep within Third Master’s eyes.

"Girl, this is the third time." Third Master’s thin lips slightly parted, his tone neither rushed nor slow.

"Hmm?" Qin Ruan appeared puzzled.

Third Master slightly bent over, lifted Qin Ruan, who was being supported by Huo Chuan, and carried her towards the front of the car.

After placing her inside, Third Master turned to look at Huo Chuan with an eye full of dark iciness.

This seemingly casual glance made Huo Chuan feel like his heart had skipped a beat.

Cold light rampaged in Third Master’s eyes, but the corners of his mouth curled up into a light smile: "Huo Chuan, you failed to take care of Madam tonight. Let this not happen again."

"Yes, Third Master——"

Huo Chuan bowed his head, wearing a solemn expression on his face.

A heart that was initially filled with anxiousness slowly dropped.

The Huo Family’s Hidden Guards always prioritized the result over the process in fulfilling their duties.

After Third Master got into the car, Huo Zhi stepped forward to close the door.

The view inside the car was then blocked, and the father and son duo of the Rong Family could no longer see Qin Ruan.

However, they were not unfamiliar with the term "Madam."

Huo Chuan had been addressing Qin Ruan as "Madam" from the very beginning, and it surprised them that she was already married at such a young age—see the way her husband carried her showed he was no ordinary man.

Huo Chuan stepped in front of Huo Zhi, his brows furrowed, fatigue and relief from a narrow escape clearly visible on his face.

Huo Zhi blinked, "Brother Chuan, what happened?"

Huo Chuan let go of his hand that was clutching his head, asking her: "Have you noticed anything different about Madam during the time you’ve been with her?"

"Yes." Huo Zhi nodded.

Huo Chuan wore a troubled look: "Then why didn’t you tell me?"

He thought Huo Zhi knew about Qin Ruan’s peculiarities and her interactions with the puppets.

Huo Zhi frowned: "Don’t you all know?"

"Know what?"

"Madam is very good at fighting."

"..." Huo Chuan was speechless.

He emphatically asked: "Only her fighting skills?"

Huo Zhi thought hard before adding: "It seems like Madam can see things that we can’t."

"Anything else?"

"That’s all."

"Have you ever seen Madam fighting with those things?"

"No!" Huo Zhi shook her head vigorously.

Huo Chuan understood then.

He got it.

If Huo Zhi had been the one to accompany Madam today, he wouldn’t have had such a hair-raising experience.

Everything he went through today should have been borne by Little Zhizi.

Huo Chuan gently patted Huo Zhi on the shoulder: "Little Zhizi, you must treat me to a meal sometime later, no! Not a meal, let’s drink instead. My appetite hasn’t been too good lately."

His demeanor piqued Huo Zhi’s curiosity: "What exactly happened?"

Huo Chuan looked at her intently: "Don’t ask. If you ask, it means trouble."
