No one in the vast Qu family noticed the boy's arrival. Even after Mi Tang'an and the others left, Qu Jinxian, to prevent a surprise attack or retaliation from the Hidden Sect, specially invited two old ancestors at the Loose Immortal Realm who were stationed in the Qu family.
It wasn't that the boy's cultivation had far surpassed that of a Loose Immortal, but rather that after fusing with the soul of one finger of the Demon Lord Jiu Yue, his soul power far exceeded that of ordinary Loose Immortal cultivators. In fact, some cultivators who had just entered the Ascension Realm even had soul power inferior to the boy's.
If the two Qu family patriarchs at the Loose Immortal Realm are like this, then Qu Jinghuai, who is currently committing evil deeds in the secret chamber, is even more so.
He has now completely torn off his disguise in front of Song Huilan, revealing only his ugliness and insatiable demands.
It has only been a little over a month since the Daoist Couple Banquet.
The once vibrant and youthful Song Huilan was drained of her beauty by this villain in human skin, becoming emaciated and almost nothing but skin and bones.
While making insatiable demands, Qu Jinghuai also used the most vicious words to provoke Song Huilan: "Later, I will have this dungeon filled with bronze mirrors so you can see how ugly and disgusting you are now. After I've drained you dry, I'll search your soul and send you to reunite with your sweetheart. Let's see if he'll vomit up his dinner after seeing you!"
Song Huilan neither cried nor screamed, but stared blankly at the extremely dark ceiling of the dungeon, letting Qu Jinghuai do as he pleased.
Her body still has a glimmer of hope, and she still has value that makes Qu Jinghuai so eager to pursue her;
But her heart had already died the moment Qu Jinghuai locked her in this dungeon.
Only when she heard the words "my beloved" did Song Huilan's almost lifeless eyes show a slight tremor.
The scene of her first meeting with Shang Beiyu flashed through her mind.
He was so mysterious and noble; his smile was as if the world had plucked a piece of spring from the earth and secretly given it to her alone.
He didn't spend much time intimately with her, but during the limited time they did spend together, he treated her extremely well.
And in the very last moment of his life.
He was clearly heartbroken and wanted to die; he clearly said he had no feelings for her whatsoever.
But in that life-or-death moment, he gave her a chance and hope to live.
"Your Majesty..." Song Huilan sighed in her heart, a clear tear slowly sliding down her cheek.
It was at this moment that she felt as if there was something in the corner of her eye.
Looking at him again, he saw a young man with an unusually cold and handsome face.
He was like snow in the clouds, snow on the mountaintop, so beautiful and dazzling yet silent, a beauty that seemed not to belong to this world.
His cold and aloof aura made Song Huilan feel both strange and familiar.
Her already dead heart stirred, overwhelmed by immense pain, humiliation, hatred, and self-loathing.
“Go…!” Song Huilan moved her extremely pale lips and said silently.
The young man had walked the mortal realm for nearly a thousand years, and his heart was as hard as a rock. He had witnessed all kinds of human tragedy.
But the woman's thin, frail body, who was being violated, moved her lips slightly. Her movements, which were utterly harmless, pitiful, and weak, were like the first tiny crack imprinted on a rock, giving him a different feeling.
He didn't even glance at Qu Jinghuai, whose body was ugly and whose words were even uglier.
With a casual wave of his right hand, Qu Jinghuai was thrown to a corner of the dungeon.
With a loud bang, Qu Jinghuai was caught off guard and most of his bones were broken by the impact with the wall.
