However, Chen Xiaojun's actions did not stop.

The dark red vortex at her fingertips condensed again, and this time, it precisely targeted the soul nest in her chest.

Immediately afterwards, he moved his finger down and, without hesitation, pointed to the area below her navel, specifically the lower soul nest.

Three cold and stagnant seals, like three heavy gates, were locked at the very core of her power system.

Bi Qingxiu felt the discomfort of her soul power being forcibly suppressed, but instead chuckled softly, her smile carrying a hint of amusement: "Young Master Chen is indeed cautious, even sealing my lower soul nest as well."

She deliberately emphasized "lower soul nest," clearly indicating that as a beast-type soul master, her core power was already in the middle soul nest, making sealing the lower soul nest somewhat redundant.

Chen Xiaojun nodded calmly: "Your Bi family is an old and established family with a long history, profound heritage, and many methods. It's always good to be cautious when dealing with distinguished guests."

After he finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Qin Luguang, who was smoking a pipe to the side, and said, "Grandpa Luguang."

Qin Luguang didn't even lift his eyelids, just grunted an "Mm," and casually waved the hand holding the copper pipe at Bi Qingxiu.

call out!call out!call out!call out!
Four condensed, almost tangible, dark red lines of soul power, imbued with a strong, bloody aura, shot out and precisely pierced into Bi Qingxiu's limb joints.

This was not sealing the Soul Nest, but rather directly blocking the main Soul Power meridian nodes in her limbs.

Bi Qingxiu felt her arms and legs suddenly sink, and the flow of soul power in her limbs was completely cut off. Only the core area of ​​her torso could still faintly sense the heavily sealed soul power fluctuations.

She couldn't help but roll her eyes, feeling a surge of frustration that almost burst from her throat—sealing three soul nests wasn't enough, they even sealed the soul veins!
This was practically treating her like a dangerous object that could explode at any moment! She barely managed to hold back her curses.

Then, Chen Xiaojun called out directly, "Fifth Brother!"

Chen Mu immediately stepped forward, gesturing with his right hand: "Big Sister Bi, please."

"Big sister?!" Bi Qingxiu raised an eyebrow at Chen Mu, then smiled and said, "Fifth Young Master Chen, that wording doesn't seem quite right."

Chen Mu's expression remained unchanged. His gaze swept over Bi Qingxiu's delicate and youthful face, and he corrected her in a calm tone: "Indeed, Bi Qingxiu looks youthful, like she is only sixteen years old. She really shouldn't be called old."

Bi Qingxiu's lips curled into an enigmatic smile. She fell silent and obediently followed Chen Mu.

After taking two steps, she stopped: "Young Master Chen, there are quite a few cockroaches and rats in Ironjaw Fortress. It would be better to clean it up so that people can feel more comfortable."

Chen Xiaojun smiled and said, "What you say is quite right, Miss. Only by cleaning it up can we see what this courtyard originally looked like."

After the two figures disappeared into the shadows of the backyard, Qin Luguang slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, the smoke blurring the wrinkles on his face: "He's a sensible man."

Chen Xiaojun nodded: "Spiders raised by aristocratic families naturally know how to avoid confrontation."

Qin Luguang asked in bewilderment, "Then how did she end up here? This is all very strange."

Chen Xiaojun's eyes were leisurely: "Either it's a matter of fate, or something more interesting has happened within the family."

Qin Luguang slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, which drifted away in the dim light of the fluorescent band. "This spider... it's poisonous. Keeping it is a waste of food; releasing it means it'll bite. Troublesome. What should we do with this person?"

Chen Xiaojun picked up the slightly cool teacup on the table, gently swirled it, and watched the water ripple. "How would I know? The person was taken away by Fifth Brother to 'rest.' As for the rest, let Second Uncle deal with it. Anyway, it's none of my business." Qin Luguang was speechless. He raised his wrinkled eyelids slightly, tapped the ash off his pipe on the edge of the table, and made a soft "tap-tap" sound.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes: "The Spider Queen Bi family... is a big problem. If only we could kill her directly, we could not only get rid of a future threat, but also gain an inheritance-level soul bone. It's a sure win."

Chenxiaojun: "..."

His fingers, holding the teacup, paused slightly. He lowered his gaze, looking at the tea leaves floating in the cup, and did not immediately respond to Qin Luguang's words.

……

Chen Mu led Bi Qingxiu through several heavily guarded corridors to a relatively secluded courtyard.

Pushing open the door of one of the stone houses, you'll find it simply furnished but clean and tidy, with a stone bed, a set of tables and chairs, and toiletries in the corner. The room is bright and spotless.

"Here it is." Chen Mu stepped aside. "Please rest here for now, Miss."

Bi Qingxiu walked in slowly, her gaze sweeping over the surroundings. Her fingertips brushed against the cool stone tabletop, and she nodded: "This courtyard is nice, quiet. It's so much better than that communal sleeping area where eight of us were crammed together."

Chen Mu leaned against the door frame and grinned when he heard this: "Of course, eldest sister, you are now an important guest of our Chen family, so of course you have to stay in a better place."

Bi Qingxiu turned around abruptly, her eyebrows furrowing slightly: "It's 'Big Sister' again? So, what you said outside earlier about 'Miss Bi's youthful appearance' was just a perfunctory remark?"

Chen Mu chuckled, touching his nose, and replied, "It's a habit, a habit! Among our generation in the Chen family, only the eldest sister is truly the big sister. I've gotten used to calling her that. Please forgive me!"

Bi Qingxiu gave a light snort, walked to the bedside and sat down, her posture more relaxed: "Hehe, fine, call me 'Big Sister' then. Who told me to be under your roof now?"

She looked up at Chen Mu, her eyes sparkling. "Shouldn't this 'important guest' treatment have something tangible about it? Like... this greeting gift on your shoulder?"

Chen Mu gave him a "you've finally figured it out" look, and casually took out a small and exquisite jade box from his storage soul tool and tossed it over: "That's right! Sword Spirit Ointment, it's specially made to treat cuts from sharp weapons, especially sword wounds that are corroded by soul power, the effect is outstanding. Consider it an apology for that sword strike."

Bi Qingxiu raised her hand and steadily caught the jade box, its surface warm and smooth to the touch.

She opened the box, and a refreshing, spicy herbal aroma wafted out. "Sword Spirit Ointment? Young Master Chen is quite particular."

She touched her fingertip to the light green ointment, feeling its gentle medicinal power, and looked up at Chen Mu, "What, are you this considerate to every girl you've injured?"

Chen Mu leaned against the doorframe with his arms crossed, a half-smile playing on his lips: "That depends on who you're attacking. If it's an ordinary enemy, finishing them off with a sword would be easier—you're getting a unique treatment."

"Oh?" Bi Qingxiu lightly tapped her injured left shoulder with her fingertips, the movement carrying a hint of languor and deliberate teasing. "A unique sword wound, a unique ointment... Is Young Master Chen trying to carve words into my heart?"

Chen Mu coughed, choked by her blunt words: "Cough cough! Big sister, have you changed the venomous fangs of your Soul-Devouring Spider to honey? My skin can't take this."

Bi Qingxiu burst out laughing, her body trembling with laughter: "So the carefree swordsman is so easily teased? Where did that fierceness go when you were chasing me just now?"

She suddenly stopped smiling, leaned forward slightly, lowered her voice, and said with a dangerous allure, "Or... would you rather I 'repay' your kindness in the way of the venomous spider?"

Chen Mu immediately jumped back half a step and waved his hand warily: "No! Your kindness is too great, I'm afraid I can't accept it—taking good care of yourself as your 'important guest' and recovering from your injuries is the greatest way to repay my kindness!"

Seeing Chen Mu's slightly embarrassed look, Bi Qingxiu proudly raised her chin, put the jade box aside, but did not apply it immediately.
