Rebirth of the Innkeeper's Wife: She's Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 84 Anger After Being Scammed

Those mysterious figures and men in black who had been so aggressive before had never witnessed such powerful spiritual energy. They were all shaken by the sudden light and force, and some even fell to the ground in a sorry state.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Huan Yuechu flashed and rushed towards the man in black as swiftly as a ghost.

She reached out and grabbed the man in black by the collar with perfect accuracy, then pulled him up and sped away with him towards the outside of Zhongxu Valley.

In the blink of an eye, the two figures disappeared into the vast night, leaving behind only a group of astonished, mysterious people...

Huan Yuechu quickly dragged the man in black back to the base.

She threw the man in black to the ground, her eyes burning with rage as if she wanted to devour him.

"Speak! Who exactly ordered you to do such a despicable thing? And will the method you mentioned actually work? If you utter even a single falsehood, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Huan Yuechu glared and shouted angrily.

Her beautiful face was slightly distorted with anger, making her look somewhat ferocious and terrifying.

However, the man in black seemed not to hear Huan Yuechu's questioning.

He simply looked into the distance, his lips tightly closed, showing no intention of answering.

Seeing this, Huan Yuechu couldn't help but snort coldly. With a gentle wave of her right hand, a dazzling spiritual light emanated from her palm.

The light flickered like leaping flames, emanating a chilling aura.

Huan Yuechu held a ball of spiritual energy and slowly approached the man in black's face, waving it back and forth in front of his eyes. At the same time, she coldly said, "I'll ask you one last time. If you don't tell the truth, this powerful spiritual energy will directly enter your body. At that time, you will suffer the torment of ten thousand ants gnawing at your heart, unable to live or die!"

The man in black smirked, revealing a sinister smile, and let out a chilling laugh, "Hehehe... I really didn't expect that sending so many people would still fail to capture you."

"Well, since I've fallen into your hands, I admit defeat! Go ahead and try, try to pry a single word out of me? You're dreaming! Hmph, I'll see what you can do to me. Anyway, it won't be long before that woman goes to meet the King of Hell, and you'll be collecting her corpse then! Hahahaha..."

Upon hearing these words, Huan Yuechu, who was standing opposite, was instantly enraged. He clenched his fists tightly and exuded a strong killing intent.

Huan Yuechu gritted her teeth and roared, "If anything happens to her, I will make you pay with your blood!"

The man in black simply laughed wildly and did not reply.

Unable to bear it any longer, Huan Yuechu slammed the ball of spiritual energy in her hand into the abdomen of the man in black.

The man in black groaned, his body flying backward and crashing heavily to the ground.

Huan Yuechu rushed forward and stomped on his chest, saying viciously, "It's not too late to tell me now. Tell me the real method."

The man in black spat out a mouthful of blood, his face still showing disdain. "You think I'm afraid of you?"

Huan Yuechu's eyes narrowed, and she increased the pressure on her hand, causing the man in black to twitch in pain.

Just at this critical moment, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded.

Huan Yuechu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure rushing towards them.

Only after the person got closer did they realize that it was Xu Yan.

Xu Yan walked forward with steady steps, his tall and upright figure standing out in the sunlight.

When he reached Huan Yuechu's side, he slightly extended his right hand and gently took her slender and delicate arm.

This pull seemed to contain endless tenderness and care, which moved people deeply.

“Boss lady,” Xu Yan said softly, her voice filled with an undeniable earnestness, “perhaps… we have other ways.”

"And shouldn't we reconsider and find other, more appropriate ways to handle this? I know you've always been a decisive person, but this situation seems a bit special, and a slight misstep could lead to unexpected consequences."

Despite his efforts to keep his tone calm and rational, a deep sense of worry, which he could not conceal, still crept into his words.

However, Huan Yuechu ignored Xu Yan's advice.

She abruptly flung her hand away from Xu Yan's, her eyes wide with anger as she glared fiercely at the person in front of her.

"What do you know! What will Wen Xingyu do if we can't get the antidote? Are we just going to watch him be tortured to death by the poison?" Huan Yuechu's roar was deafening, and it seemed to make the whole room tremble.

Xu Yan did not back down in the face of Huan Yuechu's anger.

He took a deep breath, composed himself, and continued to persuade him, "But if we keep torturing him like this, we probably won't get the way to obtain the antidote from him. Why not spare his life for now and plan our next move?"

Just as the two were locked in a stalemate and arguing, the man in black who had been lying on the ground seized the opportunity.

He suddenly mustered all his strength to support his battered body and then charged recklessly toward the solid wall beside him.

A loud "bang!" suddenly rang out, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, making everyone present tremble.

Immediately afterwards, the man in black collapsed to the ground limply, as if all his bones had been removed, and remained motionless.

His eyes were wide open, his face still showing the terror and disbelief of his impending death. Blood gushed from his wounds, quickly staining a large area of ​​the ground red.

This sudden turn of events stunned everyone, and for a moment no one could react to what had happened.

The scene fell into a deathly silence, with only a gentle breeze blowing, carrying a few fallen leaves that drifted slowly down into the air.

Huan Yuechu stood there blankly, as if petrified.

After a long while, she finally snapped out of her daze and said through gritted teeth, "You got off easy..."

At this moment, Huan Yuechu's eyes no longer held their former brilliance; instead, they were filled with resentment and deep weariness.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, and said to Xu Yan in a slightly hoarse voice, "Now that this person is dead, all our previous efforts have been in vain. It seems that we can only try to find a way to save Wen Xingyu now..."

Huan Yuechu tried to calm herself down. "Xu Yan, go and check if there are any other clues pointing to the antidote or a treatment for similar symptoms."

Xu Yan nodded, then immediately turned and left.
