The woman took out the small bottle containing a light green liquid; the color was refreshing, but its effects were bloody.
The woman carefully unscrewed the bottle cap, squinted, and aimed at Yi Mu's face.
Yi Mu knew this stuff was definitely bad, so he dodged it before the woman could splash it on him.
This was a conditioned reflex developed from years of being beaten by his mother. The woman also held back, not spitting out the green liquid completely.
Yi Mu could only manage to dodge it for a moment, but when the woman got angry, she gripped his chin tightly and forced the thing into Yi Mu's mouth.
A gust of wind suddenly blew in from outside the door, and Leng Jia didn't even see how Yan Shengzhou came in.
The woman was kicked away by a brute force, and the liquid in the bottle didn't splash onto Yi Mu, but Yan Shengzhou wasn't so lucky.
He shielded Yimu completely, but a drop of liquid splashed onto the skin on the back of his neck.
This stuff is more toxic than sulfuric acid. Yan Shengzhou felt a needle prick on the back of his neck. At first, he didn't feel anything, but then it got more and more painful.
In just a few seconds, large beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
He disregarded his own safety, used magic to cut the ropes binding Yi Mu, and stood up while holding Yi Mu in his arms.
Leng Jia stared at his back, then covered her mouth and screamed in terror.
Yan Shengzhou rushed out in a hurry, wearing only a white shirt, which was now covered in blood.
Yi Mu also noticed something was wrong; he felt sticky blood on his hands.
Yi Mu finally knew what that ghostly thing was.
He told Yan Shengzhou to put him down, his voice urgent.
Yan Shengzhou endured the pain and told him to be obedient and stay put.
He didn't look at Leng Jia; she was utterly insignificant, like a clown. The real threat was the eldest daughter of the Yun family.
The Yun family and the Yan family are bosom friends, their relationship dating back to their ancestors. The Yan family is always at the forefront, while the Yun family provides logistical support, making them the Yan family's strongest backing.
Yunzhuang is Yan Shengchao's fiancée. They have been together since childhood and can be considered childhood sweethearts.
Yunzhuang is a very magnanimous woman. Yan Shengchao originally planned to explain to Yunzhuang after returning that the marriage arranged by their ancestors was invalid.
Unexpectedly, she made the first move.
Yunzhuang was one of the few people who knew that the Yan family had twins, and she recognized the person in front of her as Yan Shengzhou at a glance.
A rare look of exasperation crossed her delicate face. "You two really are brothers, liking exactly the same things. Does Yan Shengchao know you're after his woman?"
Yan Shengzhou didn't want to waste words with her. He stared at Yun Zhuang and warned her, word by word, "For the sake of the Yun family, this is the last time. If you dare to lay a finger on him again, I will wipe out your entire clan."
Yunzhuang had always been clear about Yan Shengzhou's personality. Although his magic could not compare to the abnormally powerful Yan Shengchao, he would risk his life if his sore spot was touched.
In some ways, Yan Shengzhou is more threatening than Yan Shengchao.
Yunzhuang didn't speak, but her eyes revealed a deep sense of resentment.
Just then, Yan Shengchao arrived late, bringing with him a large group of people.
As Yan Shengzhou carried Yi Mu out of the dilapidated tin shack, Yi Mu was fine, but Yan Shengzhou's upper body was covered in blood, a shocking sight.
Yan Sheng hurriedly stepped forward, trying to take Yi Mu from his arms, but Yan Shengzhou dodged him.
Yan Shengzhou walked up to Yan Shengchao, took a deep breath, his breathing unsteady, suppressing a violent killing intent.
“Your fiancée is inside. If I hadn’t arrived in time, you wouldn’t be able to see Yimu now.”
He only said one sentence, leaving the rest for Yan Shengchao to figure out for himself.
Yan Shengchao's expression darkened, and he ordered Yan Sheng to escort Yan Shengzhou and Yi Mu back.
Yan Sheng hesitated for two seconds, but still reminded Yan Shengchao, "Young Master, those are members of the Yun family..."
Yan Shengchao lost control and kicked him, yelling, "Get out!"
Those who hurt him, whether they are from the Yun family or the Heavenly King himself, will not be so easily forgiven.
