Chapter 252
Oh?
The corners of Yang Chen’s mouth lifted slightly.
Sibling fallout?
It seemed that in Chu Xi’s heart, the child was still more important than her younger brother, Xiao Dong.
“So, it’s Junior Brother Xiao Dong. It looks like this was just a misunderstanding!” Yang Chen chuckled as he spoke.
He directly dispersed the Light Prison.
“Martial Aunt, it’s just a misunderstanding. Sorry for disturbing your and this senior’s rest!”
“Xi’er, hurry and take Junior Brother Xiao Dong home!”
Hearing Yang Chen’s words, Chu Xi snapped out of her sorrow.
Brother Chen … he wanted to protect Xiao Dong.
She couldn’t help but feel deeply moved.
Xiao Dong had always hated Brother Chen and had even tried to kill the child she and Brother Chen were expecting. Yet Brother Chen still repaid hatred with kindness and chose to save him at this moment.
She knew very well that Brother Chen was doing this entirely for her sake.
But … would doing this bring trouble for Brother Chen?
Xiao Dong had been completely enveloped in demonic energy just now and had even transformed into a gluttonous beast. Clearly, he had cultivated demonic arts.
Brother Chen was about to become the Holy Son of Heavenly Dao Holy Land, the leader of the righteous path’s young generation in Central Continent.
If he openly favored someone who had cultivated demonic arts at this time … would it negatively impact Brother Chen’s chances of becoming the Holy Son?
The Holy Lord was already reluctant to pass the position of Holy Son to Brother Chen. What if she took this opportunity to make trouble?
Chu Xi hesitated.
At this moment, Zhan Qiuyun rebuked, “What misunderstanding? Can’t you see that Xiao Dong has cultivated demonic arts? A useless nobody who was only at the Golden Core Realm half a year ago has somehow reached the Nascent Soul Realm in just over six months!”
“Hmph! A few days ago, an elder reported to me that something unusual had happened at Fallen Valley. Many corpses had their essence stolen! It looks like Xiao Dong was the culprit!”
Upon hearing this, Yang Chen feigned surprise. Chu Xi, on the other hand, turned pale.
Yang Chen still wanted to argue, but Chu Xi tugged at his sleeve.
“Brother Chen, don’t say any more!”
“Sigh …” Yang Chen let out a long sigh.
He put on a helpless expression, as if he truly wanted to help Xiao Dong but had no choice.
At this moment, Zhan Qiuyun clenched her jade-like hand, and Xiao Dong’s body was instantly pulled in front of her.
Yang Chen immediately stepped forward, his face full of sorrow.
“Junior Brother Xiao Dong, I even gave your sister the Solar Star Core to help her restore your Pure Yang Sacred Physique! Why did you still cultivate demonic arts? You and your sister have depended on each other for decades. Your sister has suffered so much for your sake. Can’t you at least think about her? Although she will have me to take care of her in the future, she still shouldn’t lose you as her younger brother!”
As Yang Chen spoke, he pulled Chu Xi into his embrace. His hand gently stroked her back, as if comforting her.
“Brother Chen!” Yang Chen’s words deeply moved Chu Xi. She couldn’t help but extend her arms and hold him tightly.
The surrounding disciples of Youyue Peak, most of whom were beautiful female cultivators, all looked at Chu Xi with jealousy.
Although their appearances weren’t far behind Chu Xi’s, they weren’t lucky enough to be cherished by Senior Brother Yang.
At this moment, even Zhan Qiuyun couldn’t help but purse her lips in displeasure, feeling somewhat annoyed. She slightly regretted arranging Chu Xi’s marriage to this little scoundrel.
But the faint jealousy in her eyes was clearly caught by the beautiful woman from the Immortal Palace standing nearby.
A knowing smile flickered in her gaze. Her guess had been right after all.
This little guy named Yang Chen … had already made his way into Qiuyun’s heart. Even someone as cold and aloof as her had started feeling jealous.
***
Xiao Dong had already calmed down from the madness of transforming into a Taotie beast just now, regaining his rationality. Looking at the two people embracing affectionately in front of him, his eyes were about to burst with rage.
“Yang Chen, fuck your mother! You bastard, even if I become a ghost, I won’t let you go! Despicable pair! I curse your offspring to turn into a pool of blood, to be slaves for generations, to be prostitutes for eternity!”
Xiao Dong cursed furiously. At this moment, his heart was filled with madness. If it weren’t for this bastard Yang Chen, he would have escaped just now. Now that he had fallen into the hands of that old wretch Zhan Qiuyun, could he still survive? And yet, this bastard had the audacity to put on a false display of sincerity and preach to him!
At this moment, Chu Xi suddenly stepped forward and slapped Xiao Dong hard across the face.
Smack!
“Xiao Dong, from today onward, I sever all ties with you! From now on, we owe each other nothing and have no relation whatsoever!”
Xiao Dong’s ferocious gaze turned to Chu Xi.
“Chu Xi, you bitch, shameless wench! Yang Chen just slept with you, and now you’re bowing down to him like a dog! Whore! You’re just like Zhan Qiuyun, both of you are Yang Chen’s—”
“Insolence!” At that moment, Zhan Qiuyun let out a cold shout. She slapped Xiao Dong across the face.
Pfft!
That slap nearly blew his head apart. The flesh on his cheek was smashed into a bloody mess, exposing white bones. His teeth were entirely sent flying.
“Ah!” Xiao Dong let out a miserable scream, his voice filled with agony.
A trace of hesitation flashed in Chu Xi’s eyes, but in the end, she steeled her heart and turned to leave.
Zhan Qiuyun’s gaze was filled with killing intent as she looked at Xiao Dong. That damned dog dared to call her a whore. And he had almost revealed the secret between her and Yang Chen. He was truly asking for death.
“Qiuyun, how do you plan to deal with him~? This boy can absorb the essence of corpses to cultivate, resembling a Taotie. He might be related to the Hall Master of the Soul Hall from thirty thousand years ago.”
“The Hall Master of the Soul Hall from thirty thousand years ago?”
Hearing the words of the Immortal Palace beauty, Zhan Qiuyun’s expression changed.
“That Hall Master caused a reign of terror across the entire Central Continent back then. Because of him, the major sacred lands suffered devastating losses, and three of them were completely destroyed, severing their legacies!”
