Chapter 198 Yu Yangzis Nemesis (2/2)

”Su Xiaomei?” Xiao Chen recalled that the divine words from the scroll mentioned something about not returning to the Su family. So it was true that she was from the Su family of the Violet Manor. No wonder he felt a sense of amicableness from her. He smiled and replied, ”What a coincidence, my mother is also from the Su family of the Violet Manor.”

Su Xiaomei frowned. ”Impossible. My family has always forbidden our clansmen from interacting with those surnamed Xiao. Back then, they had been hell-bent on stopping me and Brother Ning from being together.”

Xiao Chen remembered that there was indeed a thousand-year rule in his family not to interact with anyone surnamed Su. Just what was the cause of it? He asked, ”Is there a feud between the two families?”

Su Xiaomei shook her head. ”I won't call it a feud, but I don't know the reason behind it. The rule seems to have existed since ancient times...”

She suddenly glanced at Xiao Chen, with a crafty glint crossing her pupils and a smirk dancing on her lips.

Xiao Chen couldn't help trembling. Right then, she truly looked like a little witch. Was she thinking of betrothing a Su family girl to him? The first person who came to mind was that arrogant and willful young lady, Su Wan.

When he felt cold air rising from behind him, he immediately replied, ”To be honest, I'm already married.”

Murong Xian'er giggled. ”Sister Su Mei, he's lying to you. He's not married.”

Her words appeared to have steeled Su Xiaomei's resolution.

Meanwhile, Yu Yangzi had suffered grievous harm to his Soul after falling for their trap. He finally managed to reinstate his breath after healing himself with his energy. To think that a magnificent Leader of the Corpse Refinery Sect like him would fall for a junior's trap and even get himself this terribly injured! He couldn't restrain his anger as he yelled, ”Young one! How dare you scheme against me! Once I recover, I promise I'll strip your soul while you're still alive and then turn it into a Corpse Puppet!”

The three people inside the palace heard the commotion outside. Xiao Chen stopped fearing Yu Yangzi now that he shed his pretense. He took several steps forward and yelled, ”Old thing! Didn't you scheme against me as well? This makes us even!”

Yu Yangzi's anger flared up. No one had ever dared to tell him something like making things even. Moreover, he began angrier after thinking of how this kid had never planned on helping him. ”Fine! Young one, stay inside for your whole life if you've got the guts! Once my Soul power recovers, I'll break the formation and empty your Soul while you're alive! Woman, you too! I promise I'll refine your soul!”

Xiao Chen remembered Su Xiaomei saying that someone would come to handle Yu Yangzi in three days. He could just wait for a chance to escape then. Thus, he became confident and placed his hands on his hips as he replied, ”Oh! If you're that powerful, why don't you come in and bite me?”

”You!” Yu Yangzi was so furious that he lost all of his temperament. Su Xiaomei burst out in laughter and yelled, ”Hey, old man, aren't you embarrassed? All you think of is how to deal with a weak woman like me. Are you really that shameless? Oh, that reminds me. How could you feel shame when you don't even have a face?”

”You! Just wait, you sharp-tongued wench! I'll come in and deal with you once my Soul power recovers!”

”Old man, you better worry about yourself!”

”I have sky-high cultivation; I don't need to fear anyone...” The more he spoke, the less confident he became.

Time slowly passed. On the first day, Yu Yangzi was yelling at them, threatening them, or trying to induce them outside the palace. He would come every two hours. On the second day, his voice gradually became less frequent. On the third day, they heard nothing at all.

After waiting for a long time and making sure that nothing was going on outside, Xiao Chen whispered, ”Do you think he's gone?”

He had yet to enter the Core Forming Realm, so he still needed food to nourish himself. Coupled with the coldness of this palace, he had been having an unpleasant stay here.

Su Xiaomei replied, ”He's here. He seems to have a nemesis; he needs my Soul to fight him. His nemesis must be arriving soon. He's worried that I'd run so he'll definitely be around the area.”

Xiao Chen nodded. Right then, he felt an unusual breath appearing in the vicinity. The breath was able to breach the formation to reach them on the inside. The strength of the breath's owner mustn't be underestimated.

”Looks like his nemesis is here. I'll go take a look from the formation's entrance.” He walked out of the palace. Murong Xian'er also quietly followed after him.

”Alright, but be careful. Don't let them notice you.”
