Devouring Soul Emperor

"A Celestial Spirit Realm expert?"

"The Second Elder of the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower?"

"And you’re exactly who I’m beating up!"

Chu Qingyun sneered, lunged forward again, and viciously kicked Dong Mingfan.

The kick broke several of his ribs. Dong Mingfan rolled over a dozen times on the ground, his body twitching in agony.

Chu Qingyun was simply speechless when it came to Dong Mingfan.

He truly couldn’t understand where this kind of person got such a sense of superiority, always thinking he was a cut above the rest. Chu Qingyun had nearly beaten the Ye Family’s Great Elder’s grandson to death. What made Dong Mingfan think Chu Qingyun wouldn’t dare to touch him?

Seeing Chu Qingyun once again walking toward him step by step with a cold smile, Dong Mingfan finally panicked. "Y-you, what are you doing? I’m warning you, stay back..."

"What am I doing?"

Chu Qingyun sneered, lightly wiping a cut on his face with his finger.

Gazing at the blood on his finger, his eyes turned even colder.

Chu Qingyun stood over Dong Mingfan, looking down at him, and said in a cold voice, "You enjoy blinding people? Today, I’ll let you have a taste of it yourself!"

"What!?"

"No, you can’t... My grandfather... AHHH!"

Dong Mingfan babbled in terror, and then he saw a foot mercilessly stomping down on his head.

And the sole of Chu Qingyun’s shoe was the last thing he would ever see.

SQUELCH!

Clean and decisive, Chu Qingyun stomped and burst both of his eyes!

"Chu Qingyun, maybe we should just go... Let’s not go in..." Ye Qi said uneasily, running to his side. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

They had originally come to ask for help, but she never expected things to turn out like this. She had even dragged Chu Qingyun into offending and injuring so many people, which made Ye Qi feel terribly guilty.

However, Chu Qingyun just shook his head.

"This probably has nothing to do with you. If anything, I think they were all coming for me."

"Let’s keep going. I’d like to see just what is going on here!"

The two of them continued forward.

Soon enough, however, several more young men at the Half-Step Martial Spirit realm appeared one after another, as if they had all been notified. Each one carefully sized up Chu Qingyun before making a provocative move.

And before attacking, every single one of them would say, "So you’re Chu Qingyun?" It was as if they had heard his name often and hated him to the bone.

After what had happened with Dong Mingfan, Chu Qingyun wasted no time on words in the subsequent fights, and his methods were extremely heavy-handed.

Every person who dared to provoke him was seriously injured within two or three moves, left paralyzed on the ground, vomiting blood, and unable to even crawl.

There was even an overconfident ninth-level Martial Artist with a foul mouth who was kicked clean out of the Qin Mansion by Chu Qingyun. He still hadn’t returned!

Behind them, Yang Qianren could now barely stand.

Looking at the men vomiting blood, struggling to even move, he suddenly felt that he was quite fortunate. Chu Qingyun’s attack on him had been relatively light; at least he could still stand...

After seriously injuring several Half-Step Martial Spirits in a row, Chu Qingyun finally saw the person he was looking for.

Qin Ya ran out from inside, a panicked and worried expression on her face.

Seeing that Chu Qingyun was unharmed, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

But when she saw the men who were seriously injured and collapsed on the ground all around, her eyes widened in shock, and she covered her mouth with her hands.

"Chu Qingyun, they... were they all injured by you?" Qin Ya couldn’t help but ask after a moment of astonishment.

Chu Qingyun’s face remained cold as he said, "I think you owe me an explanation. Why have I been provoked and targeted by people ever since I walked in?"

Hearing this, Qin Ya suddenly burst out laughing.

"Hehe, Young Master Chu, are you angry? Who told you not to let me know before you came?" After her initial surprise, Qin Ya quickly reverted to her usual self, tracing a line on Chu Qingyun’s chest with a delicate finger as she spoke.

"I..."

"Alright, enough nonsense. Come with me, quickly. Those annoying pests will be back soon..."

Qin Ya cut Chu Qingyun off, grabbing his wrist and pulling him deeper into the Qin Mansion.

Chu Qingyun glanced back helplessly, motioning for Ye Qi to follow.

The three of them quickly crossed the front courtyard and arrived at a sitting room in the Inner Courtyard.

After a maid served them tea, Qin Ya waved her away, dismissing her from the room.

"Young Master Chu, I haven’t even had the chance to look for you, yet here you are looking for me today. Could it be that you missed me?" Qin Ya said with a smile, glancing over at Ye Qi.

At the mention of this, Chu Qingyun felt a bit awkward again.

He had promised to help her but hadn’t done it yet, and now here he was asking her for a favor.

But awkward or not, he had to help Ye Qi. He would just have to owe Qin Ya another favor.

’For a moment, Chu Qingyun had the feeling he was robbing Peter to pay Paul...’

"Ahem, Miss Qin Ya, it’s like this..."

Chu Qingyun briefly explained Ye Qi’s situation to Qin Ya, clarifying that the two of them had come seeking a pill, not to cause trouble.

The One Yang Pill...

After hearing Chu Qingyun’s explanation, Qin Ya frowned slightly, then shook her head. "Young Master Chu, I’m afraid you’re going to be disappointed. This is one favor I can’t help you with."

At this, Ye Qi suddenly stood up and said anxiously, "Miss Qin Ya, I’m begging you, could you please introduce us to the Qin Family’s master Alchemist? As long as he’s willing to help me refine the One Yang Pill, I... I’ll give anything!"

Chu Qingyun also stood up and said in a heavy tone, "Miss Qin Ya, please, help us. As long as the master Alchemist is willing to act, he can name his price. Primordial Spirit Liquid, Spiritual Medicine, or Celestial and Earthly Treasures are all on the table. We could also trade pills for pills. I have two Nascent Condensation Pills right here."

Having just received the reward from a special mission, Chu Qingyun was feeling quite confident.

As long as he had enough Military Merits, he should be able to buy whatever they wanted at the Great Xia Dragon Guard’s exchange office.

Hearing this, Qin Ya raised an eyebrow. She swayed her slender waist as she walked over to Chu Qingyun. With breath as fragrant as an orchid, she said with a smile, "Young Master Chu, it seems you’ve been doing quite well for yourself lately, even managing to get your hands on two Nascent Condensation Pills."

"But... you’re working so hard to help this little lady, have you forgotten about the favor you owe me? Aren’t you worried I might get jealous?"

Qin Ya moved closer to Chu Qingyun, putting on a jealous expression as she tilted her head up to look at him.

Chu Qingyun rolled his eyes helplessly. "Miss Qin Ya, a life is on the line. Can you please stop joking around for a moment? Of course I remember what I promised you before. Just say the word, and I’ll definitely help."

"You’ll really, definitely help me? Then I’ll really say it..."

A cunning glint flashed in Qin Ya’s eyes.

Chu Qingyun nodded firmly. He had already given his word, and he naturally intended to keep it.

Qin Ya’s smile widened. "Great! The favor I need your help with is... being my fiancé!"
