26: Little one, I'll remember you!

Just as Su Chen thought he was about to successfully win over this peerless Demoness and reach the Peak of a life living off a powerful woman...

A sudden change occurred once again.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Outside the stone chamber, bursts of rapid and violent sounds of breaking through the air came from afar, approaching quickly!

Several powerful auras that made the entire Forbidden Ground tremble had already neared the outside of the stone chamber!

"Witch! Do not be so arrogant!"

"Quick! Set up the 'Nine Heavens Dragon-Locking Array'! We must not let her escape!"

Seventh Elder Su Qi's exasperated roar, along with the other Elders' shouts filled with shock and anger, clearly penetrated through layers of Restrictions.

This sudden turn of events was like a bucket of ice water instantly waking Ye Linghan from that strange sensation!

She snapped awake!

Those dark red demonic eyes, which had just shown a hint of confusion and warmth, instantly returned to being cold and vigilant!

Out of an instinctual self-protection branded deep within her Soul after being imprisoned for a hundred thousand years...

And out of resistance to this unfamiliar emotion that made her feel panicked.

She suddenly pushed away Su Chen, who was still immersed in his role as a master actor and unable to extricate himself!

"Bang!"

Su Chen only felt an unmatched colossal force coming from his chest. His whole body flew backward uncontrollably once again, slamming hard against the dark gold wall behind him before sliding down like a painting.

"Cough... cough cough..."

He clutched his agonizing chest, baring his teeth in pain.

Damn it!

This woman turns her face faster than flipping a book!

She was as docile as a kitten just now; how did she turn back into a tigress in the blink of an eye?

Su Chen complained wildly in his heart, but he didn't dare show any dissatisfaction on his face. Instead, he wore a hurt expression that said, "Why did you push me away? My heart hurts so much."

Ye Linghan didn't look at him again.

She slowly floated into mid-air, looking down at the ceiling of the stone chamber from above, bloodthirsty madness flickering in those dark red eyes.

"Old things of the Su Family..."

She licked her pale lips, her voice filled with a cruel smile.

"Are you in such a hurry to come and meet your deaths?"

"Fine then. I've been asleep for so long; I just happen to need a few sacrifices to announce my return!"

Before her voice even faded, a demonic pressure even more terrifying than before erupted from within her!

She seemed to have lost the patience to look for an exit and was prepared to use the most violent and overbearing method to smash through this cage!

When Su Chen saw this posture, he immediately grew anxious.

Holy crap!

Don't do it, Big Sis!

If you fight your way out and clash with those old fogies outside, what will happen?

No! I absolutely cannot let them start fighting!

Su Chen didn't care about the sharp pain in his body anymore. He jumped up from the ground with a carp leap and shouted anxiously at Ye Linghan in mid-air:

"Linghan! Don't!"

This shout was truly sincere and heartbreaking.

In mid-air, Ye Linghan, who was about to strike, suddenly paused.

She slowly turned her head, and those demonic eyes filled with the desire for destruction fell upon Su Chen once more.

Her gaze became extremely complex.

There was scrutiny, curiosity, playfulness, and even a hint of... a strong sense of possessiveness, as if looking at a private possession, which even she hadn't noticed.

She just quietly looked at Su Chen for a full three breaths.

It made Su Chen's hair stand on end.

Just when Su Chen thought she was going to go crazy again, she suddenly smiled.

It was an extremely bewitching smile.

"Ye Linghan..."

She softly repeated the Name, as if savoring something.

"Su Chen..."

She then uttered another Name.

Su Chen's pupils constricted suddenly!

How... how does she know my Name?!

I didn't tell her!

Could it be... a terrifying thought emerged in Su Chen's mind.

Could it be that when she was choking me just now, she not only smelled my Bloodline but also searched my Soul while she was at it?!

This thought made Su Chen feel cold all over.

If that were true, wouldn't his full-of-loopholes performance just now be no different from a clown in her eyes?

"Interesting..."

Ye Linghan looked at Su Chen's face, which had instantly turned pale, and the smile at the corners of her mouth deepened.

"Truly an interesting little thing."

She extended a finger as pale as jade and lightly tapped toward Su Chen's forehead from a distance.

Su Chen only felt a cold aura drill into his glabella, yet it vanished instantly, as if it were just an illusion.

"I remember you."

Ye Linghan's voice carried a hint of laziness, a playful tone like a cat playing with a mouse.

"Wife? Hmph..."

She gave a soft snort, a flash of disdain in her eyes, mixed with an indescribable strangeness.

"When I remember who I am..."

"I'll come back to find you and settle this account properly."

Her words fell.

Ye Linghan did not linger for a moment longer.

She didn't even give Su Chen another look.

She transformed into a startling bolt of dark red light, like a demonic star ascending into the sky. She completely ignored the indestructible ceiling of the stone chamber and forcefully shattered the eternal Seal placed there by several Great Emperors!

"Boom—!!!"

A terrifying explosion loud enough to make the entire Su Family tremble!

The sturdy stone chamber ceiling was forcefully smashed open, leaving a huge hole as if it were made of paper!

Sunlight, after a hundred thousand years, shone once again into this land of eternal darkness.

It also illuminated Su Chen, who was slumped on the ground in the stone chamber, drenched in cold sweat, but with a smile of surviving a disaster on his face.

He watched that peerless Demoness soar into the sky, disappearing into the horizon of the Su Family's Forbidden Ground with a wild and domineering laugh.

There was only one thought in his heart.

I survived!

I fucking actually survived!
