While Ling Lei and the rest were busily capturing the NanGong Family members, Li Xue stood behind the despairing NanGong Yu . Looking at the look of despair on her face, Li Xue mocked with ridicule, ”Miss NanGong, I really have to thank all of you . Your idiocy and unreasonable jealousy caused you and your subordinates to become a whetstone for us to groom an outstanding leader for our Ling Family Courtyard . Do you see that? When all of your dog lives disappear, the effect that I want will be fully displayed . While all of you are pathetically weak, the effect of your lives is truly enormous . This is something that you should definitely be proud of . ”
NanGong Yu breathed heavily as she glared at Li Xue with despair . She then growled with hatred, ”Using my life as a whetstone? You must be dreaming!”
Peng! Li Xue's foot shot towards NanGong Yu's chin and the sound of bones breaking could be heard . NanGong Yu's chin was shattered by Li Xue's kick and she was unable to commit suicide by biting her tongue . Following that, Li Xue kicked NanGong Yu's inner core and her chilly inner qi flooded into NanGong Yu's inner core causing it to explode . Li Xue then said chilly, ”You will definitely walk down the Yellow Springs but there isn't a need for you to rush . I will keep you alive until Ling Chen kills you . If she doesn't want to kill you, even if you cannot hope to be alive, you definitely cannot die! How can I not make good use of the last big present that your NanGong Family gave me?”
Ignoring NanGong Yu's look of despair, Li Xue crossed over her body and spat out coldly, ”Take them away!”
At this moment, Ling Chen, who was off to the side, opened her eyes, and a complicated look could be seen in her gaze . She looked at the dismembered body parts in front of her which was her doing and the h.e.l.lish scene in front of her . Her lips and body began trembling, but Ling Chen resolutely chose to keep her eyes open and refused to look away .
Li Xue was right . In fact, she was also extremely clear about that truth . Would she want to bring disaster to her most beloved man just because of her soft-heartedness? In this chaotic world, one will either kill or be killed . If Ling Chen didn't want any harm to fall upon her brothers and beloved man, she could only harden her heart and face the world!
Young n.o.ble and Ling Jian had already shouldered too much for me over the many years . They had already been drenched in blood far too many times . Could it be that I, Ling Chen, will have to hide behind their backs forever? Can I not stand in front of them for once?
Ling Chen's face turned paler and paler but her eyes grew more and more resolute . The trembling of her body gradually stopped and she held the sword in her right hand tighter and tighter…
Li Xue let out a heave of relief . It seemed like Ling Chen had already thought things through and taken her first step out . Everything else was only a matter of time . After the next ten days, a brand-new Ling Chen would definitely be before their eyes! This was something that Li Xue was extremely confident of!
The actions of Ling Lei and the others were undoubtedly swift . In just a short few minutes, not to mention the battle scars, not even a drop of blood could be seen . If someone were to pa.s.s by here right now, they would definitely not expect that a battle had just taken place…
In the next ten days, the whole Courtyard suddenly turned silent . In those ten days, a huge and clear change occurred in this silence . It was a change that could not be stopped!
The first day, Li Xue stood outside Ling Chen's door early in the morning and chased her into the stone chamber where the NanGong Family members were being held captive as though she was a criminal . The ten people in the stone chamber were the ten people that Ling Chen had to take care of for the day . After Ling Chen entered the cave, Li Xue mercilessly closed the thick door of the cave .
After a full six hours, Ling Chen finally walked out of the cave with a pale expression and trembling body . Her whole body was drenched in sweat and the moment she walked out of the cave, she began vomiting incessantly to the point her gastric juices were vomited out . Following Ling Chen's exit, a few people entered the room swiftly and ten b.l.o.o.d.y corpses were carried out .
Ling Jian was clad in black robes as he looked at the stone chamber expressionlessly and silently . However, his fists were clenched tightly to the point his veins protruded and turned green . While he felt heartache for Ling Chen, he knew that this was something that Ling Chen had to go through . This vicious and vile Li Xue! She deserves to be taught a lesson! To think that she would actually treat la.s.s Chen as such . She actually had the heart to do something that both the young n.o.ble and I can't bear to do! At this moment, Ling Jian truly did not know whether he should thank or hate Li Xue!
He was filled with contradiction…
Today, Ling Chen did not eat a single thing, and she felt dizzy for the whole day . She woke up from her dreams multiple times and began puking before falling back asleep . She would then wake up again, start puking again before falling asleep again . Such a cycle continued for the whole day .
The second day, when Li Xue arrived at Ling Chen's doorstep, the extremely frail Ling Chen who was emotionally and mentally drained opened the door and walked out of her room on her own . She held her sword in her hands and after both the ladies looked at each other for a moment, Li Xue led the way to the stone chamber . As Ling Chen walked into the stone chamber unsteadily, there were another ten people in the cave; ten people who were about to enter the Yellow Springs…
Two hours later, Ling Chen exited the stone chamber and despite wanting to puke, she managed to control herself from doing so . She immediately rushed back into the room and collapsed onto her bed!
