Liu Yunxu hadn't actually played any tricks, but he was already terrified.

Liu Yunqing did give him his essence blood, but he simply opened his heart and put it in directly.

When Liu Yunxu woke up again, he did not find Liu Yunqing.

He lay alone on the couch, his body showing no other abnormalities, except that his heart was burning hot and his spiritual energy was surging wildly in his meridians, making them feel uncomfortable.

This realization filled Liu Yunxu with joy.

It seems Liu Yunqing wasn't lying to me; this divine beast's blood essence is indeed powerful.

Just by placing it into the body, the meridians are already so full of spiritual energy. If I were to use my internal energy to dissolve that essence blood, wouldn't I be able to advance directly to the Foundation Establishment stage just like Liu Yunqing?

With that thought in mind, Liu Yunxu tried to get up, but to his surprise, he found that he couldn't move!

Unable to get up, unable to raise his hands, unable to speak, he could only lie motionless in place.

Liu Yunxu was terrified—and could only be terrified inside, because he couldn't show any expression on his face.

No matter how he wanted to react, all others would see was him lying peacefully.

Oh, there is one difference.

That was Liu Yunxu's face, which was now Liu Yunqing's.

When the Liu family head and steward Liu pushed open the door, what they saw was "Liu Yunqing" lying on the couch.

"You bitch! It really was you!"

The moment he saw "Liu Yunqing", the head of the Liu family disregarded everything and rushed forward to grab the other person's neck, his fingers involuntarily tightening.

Liu Yunxu's eyes gradually changed from seeing reinforcements to fear.

He didn't know why the patriarch had suddenly gone mad, his face so ferocious, and he was unable to beg for mercy or ask questions, or even resist.

Thinking of Liu Yunqing, who wasn't in the house, Liu Yunxu's heart pounded wildly.

Damn it! Could it be that after that bitch knocked me out, she went and did something else in the tribe?

Liu Yunxu wanted to explain, but he couldn't react at all. He was so anxious that his eyes turned red and tears welled up in his eyes.

This scene, witnessed by the Liu family head, filled him with immense satisfaction, prompting him to unleash another torrent of angry curses.

Thinking of Liu Yunqing's role, Steward Liu, standing to the side, mustered his courage and tactfully reminded the Liu family head:

"Patriarch, to avoid any unforeseen complications, should I go and fetch the elders now to collect the blood?"

Blood sample? What kind of blood?

Isn't it Liu Yunqing's blood that needs to be taken?

What are we going to do with his blood?

What's wrong with them?

Overwhelmed by immense panic, Liu Yunxu finally realized what was happening.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

With trembling hands, the head of the Liu family suppressed the urge to strangle "Liu Yunqing," and the words were forced out through clenched teeth.

"No need, I, the patriarch, will do it myself!"

After saying that, he flipped his wrist and took out a spirit dagger, stabbing it into Liu Yunxu's heart. Then, he twisted it inside out, using his spiritual power to wrap the blood sphere formed from the blood and remove it from the heart.

The Liu family head carefully sensed the aura emanating from it and confirmed it was indeed Liu Yunqing's. He then took out a jade bottle, sealed the blood orb, and stirred it again with his spirit dagger, saying:

"Does it hurt? I felt the same pain when you killed my son."

"You were lucky to survive back then, it was all thanks to Yun Zhao nourishing his blood. Now that your blood has been taken, you can just wait to die."

After the Liu family head finished speaking, he stirred the spirit dagger again, then turned to Steward Liu and said:

"I'm worried that the young lady won't have enough blood, so I'll send the important ones away first, and then drain all the blood from her body to keep it in reserve."

This means that the other party will die from blood loss.

Steward Liu respectfully agreed, and only after the Liu family head left did he look at Liu Yunqing and sigh deeply.

With a heart injury like that, how could he wait until he bled out before dying?

Manager Liu knew these were acts that would damage one's moral character, but he was just a manager, so what could he do but comply?

"You finally managed to escape, so why did you come back?"

"Hey, every wrong has its perpetrator, so please don't blame me!"

Manager Liu wasn't completely corrupt; he didn't torture "Liu Yunqing" any further. He simply sealed off her room with an array and left.

Liu Yunxu was originally at the third level of Qi Refining, but was temporarily boosted to the fourth level by Liu Yunqing's drop of blood containing the aura of the Golden Crow.

This is why the two members of the Liu family did not suspect anything, and also why Liu Yunxu did not die immediately.

The shackles on Liu Yunxu's body began to slowly heal after the drop of blood containing Liu Yunqing's blood was taken away.

After Steward Liu left the room, Liu Yunxu had regained almost all of his mobility.

He needed to find Liu Yunqing and ask her to give him another drop of divine beast blood.

He firmly believed that as long as he regained the essence of the divine beast, he would definitely survive!

It must be said that when a person is single-mindedly focused on survival, their perseverance is boundless.

Liu Yunxu actually managed to crawl to the door of the room, clinging to his last breath.

Just as he was pondering how to open the door, Liu Yunqing's voice sounded behind him:

"Do you need my help?"

Liu Yunxu, who was already on his last breath, was so frightened by Liu Yunqing's sudden appearance that he almost lost his breath.

With his last breath, as he reached out to Liu Yunqing for the divine beast's essence blood, he heard Liu Yunqing say:

"What divine beast essence blood? There's no divine beast essence blood here!"

"Oh, you mean that drop from before? That wasn't divine beast blood essence; it was just my ordinary blood essence."

"Don't glare at me. I only said I would give you your essence blood, not the essence blood of divine beasts."

As Liu Yunxu finally breathed his last, Liu Yunqing's upturned lips slowly disappeared.

See, she really does what she says.

She said she wouldn't kill anyone, so she didn't do it herself.

When he said he would give her his essence and blood, he did indeed give her a drop of his essence and blood.

To put it bluntly, she only did some minor things at the Liu family and didn't kill them all.

Liu Yunqing took one last look at the courtyard before leaving without looking back.

Only after leaving the Liu family's residence did she loosen the hand seal she had been holding behind her back.

The next instant, with a loud "boom", a huge flame suddenly shot out of the courtyard where Liu Yunxu and his mother lived.

Hearing the chaos coming from the Liu family, a deep-seated ailment in Liu Yunqing's heart was finally dispelled by the flames.

Her face relaxed again, her steps were light as the wind, and in a flash she disappeared into the Fuliu Mountains.

When Liu Yunqing appeared from the other end of the Fuliu Mountains, he was already wearing a bamboo hat that could block divine sense.

The fire in that courtyard should be enough to hold off the elders of the Liu family for quite some time.

As for the head of the Liu family, presumably for safety reasons, he must have personally delivered his "heart's blood" to Liu Yunzhao.

I wonder when the Liu family will discover the surprise I left for them.

However, it's better to discover it later. Some things are too easy to trace when they are dealt with. The later they discover it, the fewer real traces there will be.

With that in mind, Liu Yunqing changed the direction of his magical artifact and landed outside a city of rogue cultivators.

Upon entering the city, Liu Yunqing headed straight for Qibaozhai, the largest shop in the city.

Seeing the waiter approaching, Liu Yunqing didn't waste any words and went straight to the point:

"I have a big business deal to discuss with your manager. Just call someone directly."
