Chapter 495: Tear ??? with Bare Hands

Warning: Torture and violence

---

“Qingcheng, speak! What’s your relationship with Liu Siyu!?”

“Or is it Qiao Ni that you like? Although I like that child very much, if she dares to steal you from me, I wouldn’t hesitate to kill her.”

Liu Churan’s voice grew more frenzied, her words filled with obsession.

“Gu Qingcheng” couldn’t help but tremble, as the fear she had felt while being restrained with the Immortal Sealing Ring resurfaced. From that point on, Liu Churan gradually descended into madness.

“Gu Qingcheng” couldn’t help but sigh. “How did it come to this?”

“An obsession in the heart becomes a demon,” Fairy Fengya responded calmly. But when she drew the Cold Soul Sword from her bag of holding, it was clear to “Gu Qingcheng” what she intended to do.

“You can’t.”

With a stern face, “Gu Qingcheng” stopped Fairy Fengya. Fairy Fengya looked at her and continued, “There’s still time. If the Yin energy takes over, even if we joined forces, we won’t be her match.”

Fairy Fengya’s momentary display of caution surprised “Gu Qingcheng”. However, she still felt that Fairy Fengya was exaggerating. Liu Churan’s cultivation was one whole tier below theirs. Moreover, Fairy Fengya was on the brink of ascension. How could Liu Churan possibly suppress them?

Even if it came down to a confrontation between female leads, it would only result in a 50/50 outcome at most.

If Liu Churan could truly defeat Fairy Fengya, it might give rise to a new role—a female lead villainess.

“Gu Qingcheng” wore an expression full of intrigue. She would love to see this battle of female leads, if it could bring Fairy Fengya’s defeat. However, realizing she was being too obvious, she composed herself before arguing, “She can’t die. If she dies, there will be no more tasty spirit wine in this realm.”

Fairy Fengya sheathed her sword. “Gu Qingcheng” was baffled that something as trivial as spirit wine was enough to halt Fairy Fengya’s murderous intent.

However, this spirit wine was treasure for someone who had succumbed to Qi Deviation. If she could obtain the recipe, life would become much less troublesome. “Gu Qingcheng” pondered how to extract the information Liu Churan had been unwilling to reveal, when suddenly, a rich aroma of wine wafted through the air.

It spread in all directions, and a sniff was enough to make one’s mouth water. “Gu Qingcheng” turned her gaze and saw that Liu Churan had opened a bottle of spirit wine, and poured it over the unconscious girl.

As the wine touched the girl’s wounds, it jolted her awake, and forced her to suffer the spirit wine’s scorching heat.

But demon sects were no strangers to torture, and had a myriad of torture methods. Liu Churan’s actions made “Gu Qingcheng” frown darkly and remark, “What a waste.”

Fairy Fengya glanced at “Gu Qingcheng”, as if she had some thoughts about her comment. “Gu Qingcheng” found this strange, as she rarely saw Fairy Fengya show any human emotion. Confused by the expression, she asked, “Fairy Fengya, do you have anything to share?”

Fairy Fengya shook her head and shifted her gaze back to Liu Churan.

While, in fact, Great-Grandma was still prattling on in Fairy Fengya’s mind.

Great-Grandma: The demon sects are vicious indeed. To torture others like this! Do not hesitate, Mistress—just kill them! Eliminate this threat for the immortal sects!

Fairy Fengya: What does this have to do with me?

Great-Grandma: ……

Fairy Fengya’s one reply completely deflated Great-Grandma’s righteous indignation. She desperately urged Fairy Fengya to wake up. Not only was she aligning with the Demon Lord, but she was also completely unwilling to listen to her words.

However, after thorough consideration, Great-Grandma suddenly realized she was no different from the demon sects. She had to continue to stir up trouble, to shake Fairy Fengya’s resolve, so she could have a chance of taking over her body.

While the mistress and her servant were preoccupied, Liu Churan continued with her depravity up ahead. Around her, various drunken individuals stumbled and swayed. The spirit wine had overwhelming potency; how could mere mortals withstand a single ruinous sip?

Liu Churan giggled as she sat amidst this garden of sin. She laughed, and laughed, and then, as if suddenly remembering something, she began to cry.

The once-dominant Liu Churan, in that moment, resembled a weak child. She continued drinking the spirit wine, and fell asleep before long. “Gu Qingcheng” decided to go down and check on her, when she noticed a woman getting up from the floor.

The woman, whose eyes brimmed with fervor, was drawn to Liu Churan’s irresistible Charm. She moved closer, intending to have her way with the sleeping Liu Churan. As the distance kept shrinking, “Gu Qingcheng” furrowed her brows slightly, preparing to knock the woman out.

At this point-blank distance, Liu Churan abruptly opened her eyes and instantly killed the woman.

It seemed the woman couldn’t believe what was happening. She didn’t even have time to feel pain. When she finally realized it, her torso was already toppling over, and she saw her own legs.

The woman opened her mouth in a scream, but no sound came out. In the next moment, she fell in a pool of her own blood, which flowed across the floor.

Liu Churan sank back into the fragrant softness, as if her earlier actions had merely been a reflexive response.

“Gu Qingcheng” gasped, as she thought of how terrifying Liu Churan’s habit was. If it had been her instead of that woman, would Liu Churan have torn her apart?

After thinking this, “Gu Qingcheng” waited for a few seconds. Once she confirmed that Liu Churan’s breathing had deepened in slumber, “Gu Qingcheng” finally went down.

Fairy Fengya also floated down, her gaze fixed on all the spirit wine taking up the space. She seemed more interested in them than the beautiful women sprawled on the floor.

“Gu Qingcheng” focused on Liu Churan, and noticed Ghost Mother floating nearby.

Ghost Mother saw her, and frantically tried to awaken Liu Churan.

“Sword Ghost…”

A smile appeared on “Gu Qingcheng’s” face as she took out the sword from her bag of holding. Ghost Mother was already no match for Sword Ghost before she lost the Yin Pearl. Now, she was incapable of fighting back at all.

Seeing that she stood no chance, Ghost Mother put on a mournful expression and begged, “Master, please don’t force me. I don’t want to return to your side.”

She assumed a defensive posture, firmly resisting “Gu Qingcheng’s” attempt to reclaim her.

“Gu Qingcheng” quirked an eyebrow, and glanced at Fairy Fengya beside her. Yet, Fairy Fengya showed no interest in their affairs, leaving “Gu Qingcheng” to handle it herself.

“Gu Qingcheng” said, “You Yin-Yang ghosts are inherently one. Once separated, you two will never fully merge again, and you, Ghost Mother, won’t be able to regain your powers.”
