Inside the house, there was a loud crashing and banging, like a rebellion.

Chu Yuan realized for the first time how strong the man's arms were. As he carried her into the inner room, he dodged the things he had knocked over and torn off. His lips—they were still passionately entwined with hers. His eyes were half-closed, and he was charming and alluring.

"How can you be so capable?" she couldn't help but whisper against his lips as he panted.

Huo Jin placed her in the bedding room; apart from this bed, almost everything else in the room was unbearable to look at.

He pinned her down, saying, "If you dare to meet another man behind my back again, I'll use all this energy on you..."

He glanced down meaningfully.

Chu Yuan followed his gaze and saw that she had reversed the aging process again...

"..."

After not seeing her for a few days, Huo Jin was unusually thirsty and quickly tore off Chu Yuan's clothes.

I could see her slightly protruding belly and her very prominent breasts.

It even has a sweet and enticing aroma.

He could no longer control himself and bent over...

Chu Yuan exclaimed softly, "What are you doing? Aren't you going to care about what's happening outside?"

She heard Chu's mother knocking on the door in a desperate manner, calling her name as she knocked, her cries heart-wrenching, as if she had already been killed by Huo Jin.

And yet... he can still indulge in romantic escapades?

Huo Jin swallowed large gulps, just like a newborn baby, enveloping the other soft, round breast. What she could barely control before now seemed weak and powerless...

Chu Yuan was on edge, terrified that someone would burst in and witness this scene.

My scalp tingled in waves.

Fortunately, Huo Jin had made arrangements in advance. Before Chu's mother could knock for long, Huo Jin's subordinate Han Ling pulled her away, saying, "The Eastern Depot is conducting an investigation. Unauthorized personnel should not obstruct the process!"

"Case handling? What kind of case is this? Is there no justice left?" Father Chu finally came to his senses.

Looking at the mess in the yard and her daughter inside the house, whose fate was unknown, she was overcome with grief.

The two elders were surrounded by the Imperial Guards, but Chu Xu was quick-witted and hurriedly ran to Sheng Kuan to check on his condition.

Han Ling had been instructed by Huo Jin that he could appear fierce, but he must never harm a single hair on the head of the Chu family.

At this moment, his men were mainly guarding the house to prevent the Chu family from getting close, while he walked to Sheng Kuan's feet and threw down a silver ingot, saying, "Send him to the clinic."

Sheng Kuan had been unconscious for a long time, but he only looked frightening; in reality, he only had superficial injuries.

Chu Xu looked up in surprise, "What do you mean..."

Han Ling glanced at the tightly closed door. The noise inside had stopped by now. He coughed twice and said, "Our Grand Eunuch is a bit possessive, but one thing is certain: he never hits women. So, don't worry about your sister's safety. After all, even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness."

Go ahead, take the money, get his injury treated, and while you're at it, hire a few people... cough cough, to clean him up..."

Han Ling, who had followed Huo Jin in carrying out no fewer than dozens of raids, felt for the first time that he was speechless with emotion.

The main problem is that there's nothing to confiscate from the Chu family's dilapidated courtyard. Besides, even if the bones are broken, they're still connected by tendons; it's not even the Eunuch's own property...

"real?"

Chu Xu asked Han Ling for confirmation, and for some reason, he wasn't as panicked as he had imagined.

It's possible that despite Huo Jin's imposing presence, he never actually drew his sword.

Besides, his older sister is so smart; if she were really in danger, she would never remain silent like this.

Therefore, Chu Xu accepted Han Ling's kindness and whispered to her parents not to worry too much.

They then ran out and, from who knows where, found some people who quickly carried Sheng Kuan to a nearby clinic using the dismantled door panels.

The two elders of the Chu family were also pushed back to the main room to wait.

Han Ling breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there were no outsiders left in the courtyard.

Tsk, it turns out killing is still the easiest thing to do.

Carrying a knife, he can kill anyone with a single blow, disregarding everything else.

Being so concerned about this and that is actually exhausting.

"Keep watch. Not a single mosquito can be let in until the Eunuch comes out," Han Ling warned in a raised voice, while he himself quietly moved closer, eavesdropping.

Suddenly, the door was pulled open, and a hint of a smile was hidden on Huo Jin's satisfied face. "What are you doing?"

Han Ling choked for a moment, then subconsciously knelt down on the ground, "I...I...I just wanted to see if the Grand Eunuch was better yet..."

He thought Huo Jin would definitely be angry, but Huo Jin ignored him.

He strode away, light as a feather, in high spirits, saying, "Let's go. Look at you guys, you were like wolves and tigers, you scared everyone."

Han Ling, "!!!"

Who exactly is the most ruthless and vicious?

Moreover, it's quite strange that the eunuch didn't go on a killing spree when faced with a woman who was "fickle," "chaotic," and "cuckolded him"!

Hearing that the plague had left, Chu's mother stumbled and rushed out.

They happened to run into Chu Yuan, who had just dressed up again, at the door.

She looked her daughter up and down, noticing that apart from her slightly disheveled hair and clothes, there wasn't a single scratch on her skin. A look of doubt crossed her eyes. "Yuan'er, are you alright?"

Chu Yuan looked down at her empty chest. Was something wrong?

Ever since that time he opened the door to a new world for him, every time they met, he would empty himself completely.

Sigh, since when did women have to pay "labor tax"?

Chu Yuan lowered her head. "He doesn't hit women."

"What was that noise coming from inside the house just now?"

"He's just trying to scare me. It's nothing. He just looks fierce, but he's just a paper tiger."

Chu's mother was skeptical, feeling that the demon didn't seem like a paper tiger at all!

But since Chu Yuan had said that, apart from the yard being ransacked and Sheng Kuan being beaten up unjustly, his family hadn't suffered any major losses.

The heavy weight on my heart slowly lifted.

When Chu Xu returned in the evening, he ate three bowls of rice in a row. "It's alright now, don't worry. Brother Sheng just had a broken face, but he's fine. The doctor said he'll be better in a few days."

"Thank goodness!" The last bit of worry that had been hanging over Chu's mother gradually eased.

He asked Chu Yuan, "That demonic obstacle... won't come back, will it?"

"She has a name, Huo Jin." Chu Yuan felt inexplicably sorry for Huo Jin.

He listlessly ate his food, and there was a steamed eggplant dish that looked rather odd.

He comforted the elderly couple, saying, "He won't be coming."

He certainly won't come during the day. To make the act complete, he has to appear indifferent to her, and might even use Huo Wu, who is under house arrest at the Lakeside Villa, as a shield...

Mother Chu nodded. "That's good."

As she spoke, she placed a whole eggplant on Chu Yuan's plate. "This eggplant was given to us by Aunt Hu at the end of the alley. It's grown by herself, so it's big and good, and tastes amazing."

You need nutrition right now, but you can't just eat chicken, duck, and fish; you also need to supplement your diet with more vegetables and fruits..."

Chu Yuan pursed her lips, something flashing through her mind, making it inexplicably harder for her to look at the eggplant in the bowl...
