Pill Saint, Weapon Emperor, Array God, Unparalleled in the World

"Luo Chen, you're still alive?!"

"Ah!...What are you going to do?"

"You beast, let me go!!!"

Julie screamed in horror as Luo Chen dragged her, dressed in white, toward the bed.

She never expected that Luo Chen wouldn't have been poisoned to death.

The moment she stepped into the room, she was stopped by a gust of wind.

His body went limp instantly, and he was completely powerless to resist.

She tried to break through the restriction, but it felt as if thousands of needles were piercing her meridians. The backlash caused her dantian to tremble violently, and cold sweat instantly soaked her temples from the pain.

How could this be! How could this be?!

That poison would surely kill even a grandmaster, so how could he still be alive?

Luo Chen, dressed in a blue robe, showed no emotion whatsoever, and lifted her up as easily as lifting a chicken or a dog.

Leng Yi's face was now covered with a layer of ice.

There was no warmth left in his eyes.

"What are you doing?"

"After five years of marriage, you have to fulfill your obligations."

These words made Julie's pupils shrink sharply.

Should we fulfill our obligations?

He... he's thinking...

"Luo Chen, how dare you! We're only husband and wife in name only, you can't touch me!"

"name?"

Luo Chen sneered, the smile not reaching his eyes. "When you poisoned me, why did you forget this? Now you're talking to me about honor? Don't you find it laughable?"

"I..." Julie was speechless.

"What? Today I'll show you that when I treat you like a human being, you're a treasure; when I don't, you're not even worth as much as grass—the kind that can be trampled on at will."

"Luo Chen, how dare you!"

hiss--!

A fierce glint flashed in Luo Chen's eyes as he raised his hand and tore it open.

"Why wouldn't I dare!"

Julie's white dress shattered instantly.

"Ah! Stop!"

Julie's pupils trembled, filled with terror.

Her water-elemental root is her greatest asset, and this asset is definitely not meant for Luo Chen.

"Stop? Why didn't you stop when you were poisoning me?"

Luo Chen glanced at her coldly, then raised his hand again, and the sound of tearing silk rang out once more.

"Ah... Luo Chen, you can't touch me! Otherwise, not only will you die a horrible death, but your entire Luo family will be wiped out. You... you can't bear the consequences!"

Julie curled up and screamed, her voice hoarse and desperate.

"Exterminate an entire family? They really think highly of themselves?"

Luo Chen scoffed, his tone indifferent.

"Yes, my Zhu family may not have it, but do you think it's just my Zhu family?"

Julie glared at Luo Chen hatefully, as if she had grasped at some lifeline.

"Oh, so you're not the only one who wants me dead. Tell me, who is it?"

Luo Chen narrowed his eyes. Sure enough, things weren't that simple.

"You don't deserve to know! You only need to understand that if you dare to ruin my reputation, you and the Luo family will die!"

"Ha, certain death? To ruin your reputation? Do you think I, Luo Chen, care about your little threat? Or the person behind you? I'm going to take your water-elemental body today."

"You...you dare..."

Before she could finish speaking, Luo Chen's large hand covered her mouth.

......

The setting sun casts its blood-red glow.

Julie, who had been kicked off the bed, had lost all of her previous spoiled nature.

"Luo Chen, you...you dare to ruin my reputation! You'll die a horrible death! I'll tear you to pieces!!"

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow dismissively and glanced at Julie in the corner.

"Didn't you want to kill me even before this happened?"

Julie was startled: "Do you know something?"

"I've been a son-in-law in the Zhu family for five years, doing my best in everything, big or small. But what the Zhu family really wants is nothing more than to use the guise of my marriage to protect your chastity and then take my yang essence. Am I wrong?"

If it weren't for the fact that the Burial Heaven Pavilion of the previous life suddenly awakened at the critical moment of life and death, thus neutralizing the deep-seated poison, it would have been a different story.

At this moment, he was a cold corpse.

Nine lifetimes ago, he was the youngest God Emperor in the Chaotic Heaven Realm, but he was framed by his beloved and became a lewd demon in the eyes of all realms.

He was later killed by the combined forces of all the Heavenly Emperors. As his soul was scattered, he sealed a wisp of his remnant soul into the Burial Heaven Pavilion and fell into the cycle of reincarnation.

If they do not wake up in time, they will die again at the hands of so-called close relatives.

"So you knew all along? So what? My father and brothers have already gone to the Abyss of Hell. When they return, they will surely have an immense opportunity. If they knew you had insulted me like this, they would not only strip you of your spiritual body, but they would also skin you alive, inch by inch!"

Julie sneered and reached for the clothes on the ground.

Luo Chen simply raised his hand, and the tattered white dress was already in his palm.

"You...you can grab things from a distance?"

Julie's pupils constricted sharply in disbelief.

The ability to grab objects from a distance is a skill possessed only by those at the Grandmaster level. How could he possibly have it?

Luo Chen glanced at her, and Julie felt a chill run down her spine, involuntarily shrinking back.

"Your water elemental root still has some use; these five years of guarding it haven't been in vain."

"Even if you get my body, you'll never get my heart!"

Julie screamed, wishing she could devour Luo Chen alive.

"Who said I wanted your heart? The letter of divorce is on the table. From this moment on, we have nothing to do with each other."

Luo Chen pointed at the table, and Julie turned her head sharply.

Sure enough, a letter of divorce lay quietly on the table, and his pupils widened in anger, almost bursting open.

Her innocence was just ruined, and she immediately received a letter of divorce?

How could there be such a shameless person in the world?

"Luo Chen, you...you've gone too far! You're just a son-in-law, you have no right to divorce your wife! If anyone should be divorced, it should be me!"

Luo Chen looked at her coldly, his voice indifferent.

"Strength comes with qualifications. Don't you understand this principle after all you've lived? To those who are heartless, you should repay them with ruthlessness."

Before he finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed Julie from a distance.

"Luo Chen, stop! My father and brothers are already on their way back. Even if you are a Grandmaster, you will surely die! If you leave now, out of consideration for your dedication to the Zhu family over the past five years, I will not tell them what happened today..."

"Leave? When did I say I was leaving?"

......

The moon was high in the sky, and its cool light bathed the courtyard.

Luo Chen tossed the clothes to Julie, who hurriedly took them and put them on, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.

This person has finally let me off the hook.

"Let's go to the Spirit Treasure Vault."

As soon as she finished dressing, Luo Chen gave her a push.

"Don't even think about it. That's the wealth accumulated by my Zhu family over generations..."

Snapped!

Luo Chen slapped her across the face.

"I advise you to listen to me; I'm not discussing this with you."

"you......"

Julie glared at him resentfully, but Luo Chen raised his hand again, so she could only grit her teeth and walk reluctantly toward the door.

To open the Spirit Treasure Vault, one must be recognized by bloodline; otherwise, he wouldn't bother having Julie accompany him.

Julie encountered several groups of guards along the way, but she didn't dare to make a sound.

These people are no match for Luo Chen, who is already a Grandmaster.

One wrong move could bring even harsher retaliation.

Julie isn't stupid; she has no choice but to endure it until her father and brothers return.

Upon reaching the Lingbao Treasury, runes appeared faintly on the heavy stone door, shimmering with spiritual light.

Julie stubbornly stopped, and Luo Chen only glanced at her sideways.

A demonic intent surged deep within those eyes, as if they concealed double pupils; a single glance sent a shiver down Julie's spine.

That look in his eyes is terrifying. Why have I never noticed it before?

She dared not hesitate any longer and raised her hand to press the rune.

The stone door slowly opened with a dull hum, and Luo Chen pushed Julie inside.

He glanced at the resources piled up in the warehouse, and with a slight thought, he put them all into the Burial Heaven Pavilion.

He wants the things, but he also wants revenge!

Looking at the now empty Spirit Treasure Vault, Julie felt a burning hatred.

"No problem, no problem. Let him be smug for now. We'll keep it for a few days, and when Father and Brother return, we'll make him pay a hundredfold!"

However, I need to find a way to get out of here; I can't let him keep holding me hostage.

"Don't get any ideas. The seal I placed on you is so strong that even a peak Grandmaster couldn't break it. Just behave yourself."

Luo Chen saw right through her little scheme.

Even a Grandmaster at the peak couldn't solve it?

Julie's face turned deathly pale.

No wonder he dared to bring me out so openly, without fear of being seen by the guards.

"Are you... are you going to banish me for the rest of my life?"

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow and looked at her.

"That depends on your performance. Pass down the word and have the guards bring back all the spirit stones they've mined from the mines during this time."

Julie was startled and angrily retorted, "You've already emptied the Spirit Treasure Vault, isn't that enough?"

"Not enough, are you going or not?" Luo Chen's eyes turned cold again.

"Fine, I'll go! But you have to give me a straight answer: what exactly do I have to do before you'll lift the restriction?"

Julie gritted her teeth and mustered her courage to look him straight in the eye.

"As long as you obey, I won't make things difficult for you. Once your father and brothers return, the restrictions will be lifted."

"Fine, I'll listen to you. You...you really dare to wait for my father and brothers to return?"

Julie didn't believe he had such courage.

"How can I leave before the score is settled? I'm waiting for them."

Julie was secretly delighted.

Even if he were a Grandmaster, he would be no match for his father, not to mention there are so many guest elders in the mansion.

Then I'll do everything I can to keep him occupied, and then we'll see how I deal with him.

Thinking of this, she immediately put on a docile expression and sent word to the guards to transport all the spirit stones back from the mine.

Back in the courtyard, Luo Chen struck Julie on the back of the neck with a palm strike, and Julie's vision went black, losing consciousness.

Luo Chen pulled a rope and tied her to the tree.
