My CEO Bai Fumei’s wife

Zhuge Chuchu's face was even more unsightly than the green rain. Her crystal eyes locked onto the direction of the distant Elf Forest, where a large amount of life force was gathering.

“The Elven race is extremely sensitive to the aura contaminated by the Soul Refining Furnace. You carry fragments of my father’s reincarnation that were once inside the Soul Refining Furnace for three hours.”

"So they mistook me for the murderer."

"Not only the murderer, but in the understanding of the Elven race, any living being that has been tainted by the Soul Refining Furnace is a blasphemer. Their laws stipulate that blasphemers must be strangled under vines to feed the flowers and plants."

Kui Wu exhaled two thick breaths from his ox-nose as he watched the green raindrops falling from the sky. These raindrops would bloom into small flowers when they landed on the ground, but when they landed on his skin, they corroded like acid.

"Boss, this rain is poisonous."

"It's not poison, it's purification."

Zhuge Chuchu wiped away the blisters on her arm. The elven purification rain was specifically designed for creatures contaminated by death energy. What was nourishing to ordinary people was torture to them.

Zhu Zhen's fat body moved closer to Qin Yu. His pigskin was thicker than Kui Wu's, but it was also starting to smoke.

"I thought the rain was pretty just now, but now I want to roast all the people who made it rain."

Qin Yu ignored these complaints. His gaze pierced through the green rain curtain and looked toward the direction of the Elf Forest. Zhuge Chuchu said that Yan Mingyu's soul was there, sealed on something called the Tree of Life.

"How far is the Elf Forest from here?"

"Three hundred li, at your speed you can get there in half an hour."

"How long can Yan Mingyu's soul last?"

Zhuge Chuchu's crystal-clear eyes flickered, and the scene she saw made her expression even more unpleasant.

"Someone is extracting her essence; at most, her soul will completely disintegrate within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

A stick of incense.

Qin Yu strode towards the Elf Forest, green raindrops falling on his Purple Sun Divine Armor with a hissing sound, the dark golden light of the armor beginning to fade under the corrosive power of purification.

"Boss, your armor is being depleted."

"I know."

"Then you keep walking forward."

"My wife is over there."

This sentence silenced Kui Wu and Zhu Zhen. They understood that the boss's woman was more important than armor.

The edge of the Elf Forest changed the moment Qin Yu stepped in. The ancient trees that had been sleeping seemed to be awakened beasts, and distorted human faces appeared on their trunks, their expressions full of disgust and hatred.

"Blasphemers, get out of our territory."

The whispers of the trees echoed in the air, but Qin Yu did not stop. To him, those tree faces were no different from the roadside weeds.

Arrows that appeared out of nowhere interrupted his advance; dozens of silver arrows shot out from the tree canopy, each wrapped with a pale green aura.

"This is a warning; one more step and you'll be facing a corpse."

The sound came from the treetops, where an elven scout dressed in emerald green vine armor stood on the tallest tree, holding a silver longbow.

Qin Yu looked up at him, then continued walking forward.

"you wanna die."

The elven scout's arrow was aimed at Qin Yu's heart, but it was blocked by a bull's horn just three inches in front of him.

Kui Wu stood in front of Qin Yu, a faint scratch appearing on his ox horn.

"Boss, let me clear the road."

Kui Wu's figure rushed towards the treetops, his speed faster than the arrows. Just as the elven scout was about to fire a second arrow, he was smashed by the bull's head and had three ribs broken.

"A bunch of broken tree bark dares to block my boss."

When Kui Wu threw the elven scout down from the tree, more elves poured out from all directions. There were at least a hundred of them, and each of them had a silver arrow nocked on their bowstring.

"Stop advancing immediately, or you will be killed without mercy."

The leading elven captain stood at the very front; his aura was that of a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator, making him a highly skilled individual within the elven scout team.

Qin Yu did not stop.

"I'm tired of hearing 'kill without mercy' so I'll say something else." "You human insect, your very breath is defiling our sacred land. Kneel down and perhaps this captain will grant you a whole corpse."

The elven captain's eyes were full of arrogance. He had lived for three hundred years and had never seen a human cultivator who dared to force his way into the Elven Forest. This young man in the early Nascent Soul stage was either a madman or a fool.

"Kneel down."

Qin Yu repeated those three words, and then his Nine Dragons Sword was drawn.

"I've lived for over twenty years, and I've only ever knelt to heaven, earth, and my parents. I've never knelt to a bunch of beasts with pointy ears."

These words stunned all the elves. They had only been called beasts by humans a handful of times. The elves' status in the entire cultivation world was second only to the dragons. When had it ever been the turn of a human to act so presumptuously on their territory?

"Kill him."

Upon receiving the order from the elf captain, hundreds of silver arrows were simultaneously fired at Qin Yu.

Zhu Zhen's bulky body blocked Qin Yu's path at that moment, and his indestructible Vajra Body was left with only a bunch of shallow scratches under the attack of the silver arrow.

"That's it."

Zhu Zhen stomped his pig's trotter on the ground, and cracks spread outwards, causing the elves standing on the tree roots to stagger and fall.

"The beatings I received in the Xuan Yin Palace were ten times worse than this. You skinny bamboo poles don't even deserve to call it an attack."

The elf captain's face darkened; he hadn't expected that a boar demon's hide would be tougher than their silver arrows.

"Use a vine array."

His command caused the ancient trees around him to move simultaneously, with countless vines sprouting from the ground and wrapping around Qin Yu and his group.

The little dragon flew up from Qin Yu's shoulder, and a golden dragon breath sprayed onto the vines, causing them to wither instantly in the face of the true dragon fire.

The elf captain's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

"True dragon bloodline".

"Now do you know who I am?"

Qin Yu's voice came from the embers of the dragon's breath, but he did not stop walking. In his eyes, the Elf Forest was just a backyard garden.

"Your dragon bloodline cannot change the fact that you are a blasphemer. The laws of the Elven Forest are above all else."

"The law is for those who follow the rules, but I, this young master, never follow the rules."

After saying this, Qin Yu disappeared from his spot, and the next moment he was standing in front of the elf captain.

The elf captain tried to draw his sword, but Qin Yu kicked him away the moment his hand touched the hilt.

"lead the way."

Qin Yu's sword was held to the neck of another elf, who trembled with fear.

"Where shall I take you?"

"Where is the Tree of Life? That's where I'm going."

"The Tree of Life is a sacred place; you are not qualified..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Yu's sword moved forward half an inch, drawing a bloody gash on the elf's neck.

"I'm asking for directions, not whether I'm qualified."

The elf's legs went weak, and he pointed towards the depths of the forest.

"Go west, and you'll see the Tree of Life after passing through three lines of defense."

Qin Yu sheathed his sword, not killing him, because killing a Foundation Establishment stage elf was completely meaningless to him.

“Kui Wu, clear the road.”

"Order."

Kui Wu charged ahead, his bull-headed figure like a road-clearing machine, smashing the vines and ancient trees in his path into pieces.

When the elf captain got up from the ground, Qin Yu and his group had already disappeared into the depths of the forest, and his face was even more ashen than a dead man's.

"A message has been sent to the palace: someone has broken into the sacred ground, and their target is the Tree of Life." (End of Chapter)
