Chapter 43: Night Demon

Bang!

Wood chips exploded everywhere.

Everyone gasped, thoroughly shocked, as Yan Wushuang’s face suddenly became intimately familiar with the wooden table. The extremely hard wooden table was instantly destroyed. The strength that Su Chen had used could be imagined.

The face that had successfully defeated the table had changed shape and swelled. A peerlessly beautiful face had become swollen like a pig’s head. It was truly too horrible to look at.

“Su Chen!” When Su Cheng’an saw Yan Wushuang lying on the ground, unable to even moan, his heart ached and his anger flared.

Su Chen retrieved his hand, then said, “That was the interest.”

He turned around and left.

Seeing Su Chen’s back, Su Cheng’an was so angry that his entire body trembled, but in the end he only said one sentence. “Unfilial son!”

On that day, everyone there witnessed firsthand Su Chen’s tyrannical, bloodthirsty, and vicious nature. This scene left fear and apprehension in the hearts of many regarding this terrifying young master.

However, what no one could predict was that not long in the future this slight apprehension would become a headache or even absolute dread.

After teaching Yan Wushuang a lesson, Su Chen naturally went home with his mother and his uncle, Su Feihu. Under his mother’s concerned and repeated questioning, he finally told her some of the events that had occurred in the Scarlet Mountain Range.

Of course, Su Chen could not tell her that he had gone out to battle Vicious Beasts. He only said that as soon as he had entered the Mountain Range, a kind-hearted person had acted as his guide, and lead him to a relatively safe cave where he stayed. In the a hundred days, he had only encountered two common Wild Beasts, which had all been easily taken care of by him. Even so, Tang Hongrui trembled with fear when she heard this, as if her son was too weak to even stand up to a house cat.

However, Su Feihu looked at Su Chen thoughtfully, his eyes filled with suspicion.

He could tell that Su Chen was hiding something, but in the end he could not figure out what that something was.

He stayed with his mother, conversing with her until she went to bed. Su Chen then returned, alone, to the Dustsift Courtyard.

Upon entering his room, Su Chen told Jianxin and the others to leave before saying to the shadow in the room, “Come out.”

The black-clothed man’s figure rippled into view. “This time I made sure to completely suppress my heartbeat and my breathing. How did you discover me?”

His tone was one of complete confusion.

Su Chen laughed to himself. Shouldn’t discovering you be easy? You were just standing there unmoving and I saw you immediately.

However, he said, “Your plan depended on my survival. In addition, I also borrowed four of your Origin Tools. Since I have returned, how could you not come by to take them back? I just carelessly called out assuming you were here.”

“So you just made a wild guess.” The black-clothed person let out a sigh of relief, which also contained some frustration.

Su Chen found the other party to be somewhat adorably foolish. He said with some amusement, “How long have you waited here? You haven’t eaten yet, have you? I brought some things for you to eat.”

He carelessly brought out a box of pastries. These were given to him by his mother before he left. Su Chen did not like to eat them, so he gave them all to the black-clothed person.

The black-clothed person was not wary at all. It seemed as if he was genuinely hungry, as he actually began to eat. He ate a thousand-layer pastry in a few bites. His eyes began to gleam as he nodded his head. “Very tasty!”

He ate the entire box of pastries in one breath.

Su Chen was not in a hurry. Once the other party had finished eating, he said, “The reason why I could come back safely was entirely due to these four Origin Tools. Since I have returned, I should return them to their rightful owner.”

As he spoke, he handed over the sack on his back to the black-clothed person.

The black-clothed person received the sack and opened it to take a look. Apart from the medicinal pills, the Cracked Soul Magic Pearls, and the Origin Stones, which had not been returned, the four Origin Tools were all there. The Origin Stones, etc. were originally given to Su Chen as consumables, and the black-clothed person had never intended to ask for them back. Thus, he nodded and said, “Since everything has been taken care of, then I will bid farewell for now.”

“Wait a moment,” Su Chen said.

“What do you want?” The black-clothed person gazed at him, his eyes becoming vigilant.
