Although Feng Shiniang was stopped, she overheard the conversation inside the house.

At that moment, her heart clenched.

Although I couldn't hear it very clearly, the voice sounded just like that man's.

However, she suddenly realized that the mission she had taken on was to kill a son-in-law of a wealthy family in the East China Sea in the arena, but she never expected that he would turn out to be "Lord Yama".

Can a son-in-law who lives with his wife's family live in such a nice house?

Besides, how unlucky do I have to be to run into that person twice in one day?

You must have misheard!

Feng Shiniang, with a fierce aura, flashed into the bedroom!

"Today I will surely cripple you..."

Her harsh words abruptly stopped when her gaze fell upon the familiar face beside the bed.

hum-

Feng Shiniang's mind went blank for a moment, her blood seemed to freeze, and she froze completely.

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

Fang Dan and Luan Feng had already knelt heavily before her, pleading pitifully:

"Your Majesty, have mercy! Please spare him! He didn't actually harm us."

"It's all a misunderstanding, Your Highness, please have mercy!"

However, Feng Shiniang could no longer hear anything and stood there blankly.

Fang Dan thought Feng Shiniang was angry, so she quickly tugged at Chu Yang's sleeve:

"Kneel down and beg the Palace Master for mercy!"

Chu Yang laughed: "Me, kneel? Ask her if she can bear it?"

Luanfeng was frantic. "How can you be so ungrateful? If the Palace Master gets angry, your life will be in danger. What use is that little bit of face? Kneel down now!"

She wished she could kneel down in Chu Yang's place.

At that moment, Feng Shiniang's body trembled violently, her legs went weak uncontrollably, and with a "thud," her knees slammed hard onto the ground.

That pretty face, which had just been full of murderous intent and determined to cripple someone, was now drained of color, leaving only undisguised terror and collapse.

His lips trembled; he was beyond saving, unable to utter a single complete sentence.

All his arrogance vanished the moment he recognized Yang's true face.

"Sir...I...I was wrong! I'm blind, I'm deaf. Please, have mercy on me this time."

As she spoke, she completely disregarded her image as the mistress of the Cloud Palace and slammed her forehead hard into the ground.

This move completely stunned Fang Dan and Luan Feng.

who am I?

where am I?

What did I see?

These three soul-searching questions left the two of them completely bewildered.

Even if they were incredibly stupid, they could still see the deep-seated fear that Feng Shiniang had for Chu Yang.

When the two looked at Chu Yang again, their faces were filled with awe and lingering fear.

How incredibly stupid I must have been to challenge someone like that.

They always thought that Yungong was a powerful backer behind them.

Little did they know that the Palace Master might not even be considered an ant in other people's eyes.

Chu Yang asked calmly, "You smashed up my house and injured my friend, what do you suggest we do?"

Feng Shiniang trembled with fright: "I will take responsibility for repairing this place and also compensate your friend for the cost of the medicine."

Chu Yang's expression was very dissatisfied: "I'll beat you to death right now, and then I'll give you funeral expenses, okay?"

Feng Shiniang wiped away her tears, her face streaked with tears, and dared not speak again.

Chu Yang stood up, his crimson-gold true energy suddenly surging forth, and looked at Gu Shuofeng: "Should we cripple her, or kill her outright?"

As he spoke, he raised his right palm, aiming it at Feng Shiniang's crown.

Gu Shuofeng was so frightened that he almost knelt down as well, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Chu Yang's wrist.

"Don't...don't hit her."

Chu Yang grinned mischievously and raised an eyebrow at him: "I told you that old hag didn't open the acupoints herself. What, are you suddenly a responsible man?"

His doubts have now been completely resolved.

Feng Shiniang's acupoints were opened by the flow of Qi and blood through the union of Yin and Yang.

Gu Shuofeng was not good with words to begin with, and when Chu Yang teased him like this, his face immediately turned red, and his head drooped to his chest, like a primary school student who had done something wrong.

"I...I didn't mean to."

Feng Shiniang, however, glared at Gu Shuofeng with a disdainful expression.

"What do you mean? Did I force you?"

Gu Shuofeng wanted to nod, but ultimately shook his head: "No, no, no, it was my initiative!"

Fang Dan and Luan Feng were still reeling from their earlier shock when they were stunned into silence again.

The usually arrogant Palace Master Feng Shiniang actually submitted to such an ugly man.

They suddenly felt like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung.

Chu Yang waved his hand: "Alright, as long as you two admit it, that's fine. I won't pursue the matter from before. For the time being, you stay here and watch the house for me. Get up!"

Feng Shiniang was overjoyed and thanked her profusely, as if she had been granted a pardon.

Chu Yang felt a great sense of accomplishment, thinking that his unintentional actions had actually brought together a "golden couple".

Although the boy was ugly and the girl was quite old, it was still a beautiful story.

"Hey? You have a lot of connections, do you know where to find Soul-Gathering Flowers?"

Feng Shiniang frowned: "Soul-Gathering Flower? Hmm... Wait a minute, I think I heard about it a while ago..."

She rubbed her temples, then suddenly a smile spread across her face.

"I remember now! In three days, at the Baoyuan Auction in the provincial capital, it seems the final item is a Soul Gathering Flower. However, I heard it's just a formality, and it seems it has already been reserved by a very powerful family."

However, she had some doubts: "The Soul-Gathering Flower is for healing the soul, you... are you injured?"

Chu Yang pointed at Gu Shengyao: "She needs one, otherwise she won't live more than seven days. My wife needs one too."

Upon hearing this, Gu Shuofeng instantly lost his composure.

"Chu Yang, you can't be biased."

Chu Yang's lips twitched. "What do you mean? Can't I even show favoritism to my own wife?"

Gu Shuofeng opened his mouth, agreeing with what the other person said.

Why should someone ignore their wife for someone they've only known for a few days?

"I...I'd be your slave for life, just..."

Before he could finish speaking, Feng Shiniang pinched his waist hard in annoyance.

"So stupid!"

After saying that, she looked at Chu Yang with a radiant smile: "Master, look at such a beautiful girl, aren't you even a little tempted? Once you save her life, wouldn't it be wonderful to have her serve you every day?"

Chu Yang's lips twitched as he glanced at the quiet and peaceful Gu Shengyao, thinking to himself, "Don't be fooled by her seemingly asleep appearance; she might hear everything."

He quickly waved his hand: "Don't talk nonsense. Xiao Gu is my friend, and I'll get my hands on the other Soul Gathering Flower, even if it means going through fire and water."

He turned around and patted Gu Shuofeng on the shoulder, reassuring him, "Don't worry. A good brother like me is loyal!"

He spoke frankly, but he increasingly felt that his financial pressure was quite significant.

I promised Hua Chengguang I'd raise 5 billion in three days, but that's still not happening.

I wonder how much the Soul Gathering Flower will cost at this auction.

He felt that the more money he earned, the bigger the hole became, and he could never fill it.

Gu Shuofeng was so grateful he was almost in tears.

"Thank you! From now on, no matter what happens to you, I'll be the first to rush to your aid."

Chu Yang looked at Feng Shiniang with some doubt: "Why didn't you take the initiative to pay for the Soul Gathering Flower? That's not like you."

Feng Shiniang immediately put on a bitter face and said, "To be honest, Yun Palace has recently encountered an economic crisis. That's why I sent everyone in Yun Palace out to make money, and I even personally went into battle. I still don't know how to return the 1.5 billion reward for killing you."

Chu Yang was puzzled upon hearing this: "Yun Palace is so popular, how come you have a financial crisis? What about all those sycophants who fawn over you all day long?"

Feng Shiniang said indignantly, "It's all because the young master of Xuan Yun Sect forced me into marriage. I refused, and he turned on me, even threatening and inciting his sycophants to break ties with me and withdraw their investment. Now, almost all of Yun Gong's properties have gone bankrupt!"

"I'm drowning in debt! I thought making 1.5 billion this time would give me some breathing room, but... who knew they'd come to kill me? I'm so worried! I still don't know how to explain this to the capital."

Chu Yang seemed to have realized something, staring at Feng Shiniang in disbelief.

"You...you were with Gu Shuofeng just now...were you planning to take revenge on that young master of the Xuan Yun Sect?"
