Chapter 593 (2/2)
“Kuwako, I…”
Angered, Kuwako interrupted him, “Do you have the qualification to even call my name? Get the hell out of China and never let me see you later in the future!”
In an instant, Masakiyo Kato’s face turned red and then green. He shot a deep look at Chen Xiaowan and, as if he had a great deal of courage being injected to him, he loudly asked, “Boss, give me a good reason for this. I have done many things for the Brisk Trading Group all these years, not only merits and hard work.”
“You wanna talk about merits and hard work with me?” Kuwako replied mockingly. “No problem. Then I’ll tell you. You have a good wife, and not only has she bullied my Big Sis Chen, but she also fired her from the company and treated her unjustly. Whoever dares to treat Big Sis Chen unjustly again, then a miserable fate will come to them. The way I dealt with you regarding this problem is lighthearted already. Else, hmph…”
Finally, Masakiyo Kato understood. All of this was caused by his wife, Miao Xinran. The flame of anger inside him was fueled as he dashed toward Miao Xinran, picking her up from the floor and slapping her already burning face. He then yelled loudly, “IT TURNED OUT TO BE BECAUSE OF YOU, BITCH! WHY THE FUCK DID YOU OFFEND SOMEONE YOU CAN’T AFFORD TO? DID YOU HAVE TO PROVOKE MISS CHEN? DIVORCE! THIS FATHER MUST BREAK THIS BAD LUCK MARRIAGE, AND NEVER WILL YOU GET EVEN A DIME FROM MY ASSETS!”
Despairing, Miao Xinran finally understood as to why Kuwako Yamamoto trashed her. It was originally because of that bitch, Chen Xiaowan. In just a few minutes, her previously beautiful face turned into a big pig head.
However, what she cared about the most was not being beaten, but what her husband, Masakiyo Kato had said.
Divorce? Leaving a marriage with nothing, no possession or property?
At this moment her heart felt like dying, for the very reason she could live so comfortably now was due to Masakiyo Kato. Because the man was able to make money and could provide her with lavish and extravagant expenses. If he dumped her like this and didn’t give her even a dime, how would she live in the future?
Suddenly, she turned her head to Chen Xiaowan like a drowning person who found a life-saving straw. After Masakiyo Kato threw her to the floor, she came before Chen Xiaowan and nearly prostrating herself as she wept and begged, “Xiaowan, please forgive me. Everything’s my fault! Please do not let the Boss fire me and my husband. I beg you, please look at the sake of our past as fellow students.”
“This…”
Soft and kindhearted as she was, Chen Xiaowan somehow couldn’t bear to look at the tragic, miserable-looking Miao Xinran. When she was about to speak, however, Kuwako kicked Miao Xinran a few meters away and then grabbed her wrist and led her toward the elevator, “Big Sis Chen, I already told someone to clean up the best office for you. I’ll lead you there to have a look.”
Chen Xiaowan hesitated and secretly sighed inwardly as Kuwako pulled her away.

Seven days later…
As Tang Xiu sat cross-legged in the corner on the seventh floor of the exquisite pagoda, his expression suddenly moved as he looked at the light curtain. He could keenly sense the fluctuation of Immortal Force unceasingly transmitted, as the small crevice on the light curtain was also unceasingly splitting open.
Kacha…
The light curtain turned into twinkling stars and lights, as it then thoroughly broke. At this time, Gu Yan’er, who laid on the bed of ice, opened her eyes that were as though beautiful starry eyes, yet were suffused with shock and disbelief.
“How do you feel, Yan’er?” Tang Xiu floated up and approached her in a few steps, an anxious expression plastered on his face.
Gu Yan’er’s figure blinked and suddenly appeared in front of Tang Xiu. Her slender and delicate body clung to Tang Xiu’s chest, whereas her slender arm coiled around him. Her excitement made her voice tremble as she excitedly replied, “Master, my injury has healed. This feeling… is really great!”
Intense joy rose inside Tang Xiu’s heart. Ever since he learned that Gu Yan’er had come to Earth for him and yet had been harmed by the Twilight Nightmare cast by Shade Demon Zhu Wushou, he desperately wanted to obtain the Demonic Revival Grass and Chrono Crystal to completely cure Gu Yan’er’s injury.
And now, that dream had come true!
After the excitement, however, Tang Xiu still felt a bit uneasy and grabbed Gu Yan’er’s wrist, sensing and checking her body. However, after sensing her pulse for more than ten seconds, he slightly furrowed his brows, because he found that, despite the injury in her body having already healed, there was barely any trace of Immortal Force inside her body at all. Moreover, there was a particularly unusual energy fluctuation lingering in her heart.
“That is…” Tang Xiu kept observing for a long time as his furrowed brows turned tighter.
“The Shade Demon Black Force?”
Tang Xiu finally determined that the energy lingering in Gu Yan’er’s heart was just like the heart’s blood essence of Shade Demon—Zhu Wushou. The Shade Demon Black Force and Demon Force that were injected in the blood essence inside her heart had formed a type of very powerful energy that was even comparable to Divine Force.
“Trouble!” Tang Xiu frowned deeply. He then raised his head to look at Gu Yan’er, who was smiling at him. Sighing inwardly, he spoke, “How much it affects your strength, Yan’er?”
“My strength hasn’t been affected much, Master.” Gu Yan’er let out a light smile. “It’s just that the Shade Demon’s Black Force inside my heart is very special and takes me a long time to refine it. However, since I don’t have to worry about falling into slumber again, I’ll only need the aid of the chilling air here to suppress it, and then refine it bit by bit.”
“So you can’t leave the exquisite pagoda for the time being?” Asked Tang Xiu.
“Yeah, I have no way around it for the time being, though I would be able to completely refine this Shade Demon Black Force within a few years.” Gu Yan’er nodded. “When that time comes, not only will my cultivation not be affected, but it may also turn this misfortune into a blessing, enhancing my cultivation to a higher level.”
