273: The crazy woman is checking up on things! The potent drugs are confiscated on the spot!

"Sect... Sect Leader Liu, this... this is absolutely unacceptable!"

Su Chen felt that the jade bottle in his hand was no longer a dead object.

It seemed to have come to life, vibrating wildly in his palm and emitting an eerie heat that threatened to drag his Soul into the abyss of desire.

He wanted to throw it away immediately, but Liu Canghai's burning gaze, which screamed "if you don't take this, you're looking down on my whole family," was locked onto him, making him afraid to move.

"Worthy Son-in-law, what are you still hesitating for?"

Seeing Su Chen's reluctance to accept it, Liu Canghai grew anxious, looking like a disappointed mentor.

"Don't worry, this medicine is absolutely safe! It's a Joyful Union Saint Grade passed down from our Ancestral Master. The only side effect might be... a bit of a sore waist afterwards."

The Old Devil winked, smiling incredibly lewdly.

"You're a man; what's a little backache? It just proves how capable you are!"

Su Chen: "..."

He had completely given up on any effective communication with this guy and his bizarre train of thought.

He just wanted to run now.

Immediately use the Great Void Technique to escape this magical den of chaos!

Just as he was about to secretly circulate his spiritual energy and force this "generous gift" back.

A lazy yet extremely cold voice seemed to drift from the end of the Nine Netherworld, ringing out behind the two of them without warning.

"What are you chatting about so happily?"

The voice wasn't loud, but it possessed a demonic quality that could freeze the Divine Soul.

The flames of the surrounding bonfires eerily shrank by a third.

The noisy Devil Sect Disciples were like ducks being choked, falling silent instantly.

The lewd smile on Liu Canghai's face froze on the spot.

Su Chen's heart skipped a beat, nearly going on strike and jumping out of his throat!

[Holy crap! When did the Crazy Woman get here?!]

[It's over, it's over, it's over! I'm cooked! Caught red-handed!]

[Did she hear that old pervert's tiger-wolf words just now? She wouldn't think I actually wanted to take this medicine and then go with Liu Ruyan...]

Su Chen felt as if an invisible guillotine, coated in Fallen Immortal Devilish Qi, had been placed against the back of his neck, ready to fall at any moment.

His body was as stiff as a rock as he turned his head frame by frame.

He saw that Ye Linghan had somehow appeared silently behind them, like a beautiful death god merging with the shadows.

Her phoenix eyes, burning with dark red devil flames, were looking at Liu Canghai with a half-smile, her gaze calm and rippleless like a bottomless cold pool.

However, it was this very calm gaze that made Liu Canghai, a Peak Quasi-Emperor and Sect Leader of the Devil Sect, instantly transform from a passionate "father-in-law pushing for marriage" into a shivering "quail awaiting slaughter."

The cold sweat on his back instantly drenched his brocade robe.

It was an absolute suppression stemming from the very level of their existence!

In front of this woman, he couldn't even muster a single thought of resistance.

"No... it's nothing..."

Liu Canghai's tongue was tied in knots. He chuckled dryly, subconsciously wanting to snatch the medicine bottle back from Su Chen's hand and hide it.

"Junior... Junior was just discussing post-war reconstruction matters with Divine Son Su! Yes! Reconstruction!"

He retreated cautiously as he spoke, looking like a mouse that had seen the nemesis of eighteen generations of its ancestors.

"Then I won't disturb you two! Junior... Junior will go settle the aftermath first!"

Before he could finish, the Old Devil ran off like his tail was on fire at his fastest speed, not even daring to look back once.

Watching Liu Canghai's pathetic retreating figure, Su Chen breathed a long sigh of relief.

[Scared me to death. Finally sent that plague god away.]

[The Crazy Woman is still the most useful; she's practically a humanoid area-clearer. Just by standing there, all the monsters and demons within a hundred miles scatter automatically.]

Just as he was feeling emotional, he looked up and met Ye Linghan's extremely playful phoenix eyes.

"Post-war reconstruction?"

The corners of Ye Linghan's mouth curled into an eerie arc.

"Did he want you to help rebuild the Liu family's Bloodline Legacy?"

Su Chen's face instantly turned as red as a cooked shrimp.

"No... nothing of the sort!"

He waved his hands hurriedly, trying to explain, "Linghan, don't listen to his nonsense. That old man's brain was broken by the Heavenly Devil!"

"Is that so?"

Ye Linghan didn't press further; instead, she reached out her slender jade hand with interest, palm facing up.

"The 'good stuff' he gave you just now—hand it over."

Su Chen's heart tightened.

[Crap, she still saw it.]

[This thing is a death warrant! If she finds out it's that kind of medicine, won't she physically send me to the afterlife on the spot?]

Su Chen subconsciously tried to hide the medicine bottle behind his back.

However, his movements were as slow as a snail's crawl in front of Ye Linghan.

Ye Linghan's jade finger hooked lightly.

The "Nine-Turn Joyful Union Power Pill" that Su Chen was clutching tightly flew out of his hand uncontrollably and landed steadily in her palm.

Ye Linghan picked up the green jade bottle and brought it to her nose, sniffing it gently.

A flash of disdain first crossed her eerie and beautiful face, followed by a deep interest as if she had discovered a new toy.

"Nine-Turn Dragon-Tiger Qi, Joyful Union Yin and Yang Root, three maces of Resentful Woman's Tears, one tael of Infatuated Soul..."

She softly recited several core ingredients; with each one she named, Su Chen's face grew a shade paler.

[Holy crap! She actually understands pharmacology?]

[Just hearing those Names, it's clearly not something decent! What the Hell are Resentful Woman's Tears and Infatuated Soul? Is this a Medicinal Pill or Meng Po's Soup?!]

Su Chen felt he wasn't far from his end.

Ye Linghan toyed with the jade bottle in her hand, then casually tucked it into her robes as if it were an insignificant trinket.

Su Chen: "???"

[That's... it?]

[She's not angry? Not blowing up? Not crushing me into a ball?]

Su Chen looked at her in a daze, completely unable to understand this turn of events.

After storing the Medicinal Pill, Ye Linghan raised her eerie phoenix eyes. Her gaze was like two hooks scanning back and forth over his body, finally landing on his bewildered face.

Her red lips parted slightly, and in a voice filled with a hint of playfulness and absolute possessiveness, she said airily:

"This Seat is confiscating this."

"Want to use medicine?"

She paused, the smile at the corners of her mouth becoming increasingly cruel and enchanting.

"It can only be used by This Seat."

Su Chen: "?????"

He was completely dumbfounded.

[No... big sister, what do you mean by that?!]

[You've confiscated it, and then you're going to use it on me? Why do I feel like this is a hundred times more terrifying than being drugged by Liu Canghai?!]

[This isn't a damn Hell joke! This is Hell itself!!!]

Su Chen felt his CPU, along with the Divine Soul he had just managed to stabilize, completely burn out at this moment.
