At this moment, Qin Lan was lying on the bed, her clothes in disarray, her body writhing seductively. Her eyes were blurred, her cheeks flushed, and from time to time, she let out soft moans, as if she were enjoying herself without a care in the world.
No wonder she didn't want us to talk about it outside. If this got out, Qin Lan would really have no face to show herself.
He Bi was standing there, staring blankly.
I quickly covered He Bi's eyes with my hand. Was this something a child should be looking at?
"Sis, what are you doing?" He was unhappy and tried to force my hand away.
"You're just a kid. You're not allowed to look," I scolded.
"I'm already an adult, okay." I didn't bother listening to his nonsense and simply pushed him out of the room.
I walked slowly towards Qin Lan. In just ten days, this evil creature had tortured her to a pulp. There were bloodstains on her face and body, as if she had been scratched by fingernails.
I lit an incense stick, bowed to the four directions, and started chanting the incantation of the assistant shaman.
"The sun sets in the west, and the sky turns dark... Never beat the drum towards the sky without reason..." After chanting the incantation seriously.
The window screen in the room fluttered without wind. Out of the corner of my eye, I glanced at Qin Lan's bed.
I was startled and took two steps back. There was actually a fox - faced human - bodied monster lying on her body.
It was... with Qin Lan.
A chill ran down my spine. Suddenly, a pair of cold hands covered my eyes.
My body was pulled towards the window.
"Don't be afraid. It's me," Gu Yuan murmured in a voice so nice that it could make one's ears pregnant.
"Why are you covering my eyes?" I asked.
"It's not suitable for children," he said.
That's a funny thing to say. There was hardly anything inappropriate that we hadn't done.
"I don't want you to see the bodies of other men besides me."
I hadn't opened my yin - yang eyes just now, so I didn't notice this man when I entered the room.
I pursed my lips. I thought to myself: Gu Yuan is really domineering. I can't look at other men. Does that mean he's going to go in and look at Qin Lan?
Although Gu Yuan was covering my eyes, he seemed to have guessed my thoughts. He whispered in my ear, "Don't worry. I'm not going in either."
"But if neither of us goes in, how are we going to subdue that fox spirit?"
"Ji Xiang has gone in to deal with it. His magic power is more than enough to subdue this little demon."
He stood behind me, pressing my back against his chest. Although my eyes were closed, I felt extremely at ease.
Inside the room, there came Qin Lan's screams and wails, the sound of tables and chairs being smashed, and the yelps of the fox being beaten.
After the chaos, Ji Xiang walked up behind Gu Yuan and said, "Third Master, it's all taken care of."
Gu Yuan grunted, and then removed his hand from my eyes.
By now, Qin Lan had fainted from exhaustion. Ji Xiang covered her with a quilt.
The fox - faced man, bare - chested, was being held down by Ji Xiang with his hands behind his back.
"Kneel down when you see the Third Master!" Ji Xiang scolded the fox demon.
The fox demon looked up at Gu Yuan. Gu Yuan's tall figure loomed over the fox demon, and the powerful aura forced the fox demon to kneel down willingly and kowtow.
"Little demon pays homage to the Third Master."
"What gave a half - evolved little demon like you the audacity to cause trouble in the human world?"
Gu Yuan's voice was calm yet authoritative.
"Reporting to the Third Master, we were just following orders. The Qin family has gone too far. We had no choice but to take action against her."
"Call your master here. Tell him I want to see him."
The little demon received the order, kowtowed three times, transformed into a fiery - red fox, and jumped out of the window.
At the same time, Qin Lan's family members came up. They saw that Qin Lan had finally calmed down.
Qin Shuai looked arrogant and stepped forward angrily. "Is that it? These little demons keep coming one after another. I've already killed several of them. As soon as you leave, who knows if they'll come back. You're making money way too easily. This is clearly extortion."
As soon as Qin Shuai finished speaking, a silver whip with lightning trailing behind it suddenly appeared in Gu Yuan's hand. He whipped it towards Qin Shuai's chest.
"Slap~" The handsome whip, accompanied by a powerful gust of wind, landed on Qin Shuai's chest. His clothes were instantly torn and flew away. There was a long whip mark on his chest, red with a tinge of black and purple, and blood seeped out.
"This whip is to remind you to know your place. Here, I am the superior, and you are the inferior." Gu Yuan exuded a strong aura of hostility, scaring everyone to take a step back.
Before Qin Shuai could react, Gu Yuan whipped him again, this time on his back. The whip cut open his skin and flesh, and blood splashed.
"This whip is the interest for you beating my disciple."
"How dare you..." Qin Shuai's mother got anxious and was about to step forward to stop him.
Seeing her trying to stop him, Gu Yuan immediately kicked Qin Shuai far away. If it weren't for the wall in front, he might have been kicked out of the wall by now.
"This is what happens when your mother tries to stop me..."
After Gu Yuan finished speaking, his cold eyes turned towards Qin Shuai's mother.
His mother gasped, her breathing trembling, and she didn't dare to step forward anymore.
Actually, Gu Yuan had held back his magic power in these attacks. If he had really used his full power, Qin Shuai would probably have died many times over.
The atmosphere was deadlocked. Qin He saw that Gu Yuan was definitely a tough guy, so he had to smooth things over. He quickly chimed in, "The great immortal has taught him a good lesson. It's my son's fault for offending the great immortal's disciple. After you cure my daughter, I will definitely take these two unfilial sons to apologize to your disciple in front of all the teachers and students of the school."
I never expected that Gu Yuan would actually take action himself to beat that little scoundrel. Usually, with just a spell, he could make someone wail in pain.
But to be honest, it was really satisfying to see him beat him with his own hands.
After hearing this, Gu Yuan gave Ji Xiang a look. Ji Xiang immediately understood and went to the corner to grab Qin Shuai by the collar. "Where are the immortals you've raised?"
Qin Shuai was dazed, his head swaying.
Qin He and his wife were furious but dared not speak out. They could only watch their son being manhandled.
But this was also Qin Shuai's retribution. Who asked him to provoke someone he shouldn't have.
"The immortals he raised are here."
As he spoke, an old man in his sixties walked in.
He had white hair and beard, a wrinkled face, droopy eyelids, a pair of round - rimmed gold - framed glasses on his nose, and a goatee on his chin.
He was wearing a loose tai chi suit, with his hands behind his back. At first glance, he was an old man not to be trifled with.
"Senior brother, you're finally here. You have to avenge me..." Qin Shuai broke free from Ji Xiang's hold and ran towards the old man.
He had only taken two steps when the old man stretched out his arm and pushed him, making him fall flat on his face.
At his age, he still had such a temper.
The old man's eyes were sharp. After scanning the room, his hazy gaze landed on Gu Yuan.
I was worried that there was going to be another big battle between two powerful beings.
Unexpectedly, his cold expression immediately changed when he saw Gu Yuan.
"I didn't know the Third Master was coming. Ma Liu has failed to greet you properly. Please forgive me, Third Master."
"Senior brother, Master he..."
"Shut up. You only know how to cause trouble for Master. Do you know who he is? This is the famous Third Master Liu."
After saying that, he gave Qin Shuai a fierce glare, and Qin Shuai had no choice but to lower his head obediently.
I always felt that there was some hidden secret between this old man and the young man.
That day, Qin Shuai wanted to subdue Gu Yuan when he was injured. I thought that if there wasn't someone backing Qin Shuai up, he wouldn't have dared to even think about it, even if he had ten times the courage.
"Third Master, these are all the immortals raised by Qin Shuai. I'm counting them all out to you now."
Ma Liu readily handed over a few small jars. Inside should be the so - called "immortals" they had captured.
"This scoundrel is too scheming. Today, on behalf of Master, I'm expelling you from the sect as a warning to others."
"Senior brother, you..." Qin Shuai was actually silenced and couldn't speak.
Qin Shuai's parents seemed to be very afraid of Ma Liu. They stood there, not daring to move at all.
This Half - Immortal Ma was really not simple. Last time, they almost got Qin Shuai involved in a murder. This time, in order to distance themselves from him, they simply kicked him out of the sect. Sure enough, the older, the wiser.
But Qin Shuai was just reaping what he had sown. Evil people will always be punished by other evil people.
Gu Yuan looked at the jars in his hand and said coldly, "I'll turn a blind eye to what you and your master have done in the past. But if you ever overstep the mark again, I'll skin you alive every time I see you."
Ma Liu lowered his head. I didn't know what he was thinking. As soon as Ji Xiang took the jars, he quickly opened the door and left.
At the same time, Qin Lan on the bed woke up. She slowly sat up, the quilt on her fragrant shoulders slipping off, and let out a soft giggle.
Her charming appearance was really alluring.
"Third Master, are you waiting for me?"
Who was this woman? She seemed to know Gu Yuan.
