112: I called you here to meet your new father.

Violent Qi erupted from Cao Ren's hand, stirring up gusts of wind that scattered the furnishings in the room.

"Boom!"

"Bang!"

The sound of something shattering quietly rang out.

"Ah!"

A heart-wrenching scream, accompanied by a sharp, ear-piercing sound, echoed to the heavens.

Cao Ren's face was contorted, his eyes bloodshot, his entire body convulsing, and blood stained his pant legs.

"Shut up! Don't scream!" Qin Tian commanded coldly.

Hearing Qin Tian's command, Cao Ren quickly covered his mouth.

His eyes were bloodshot, his face twisted, cold sweat streamed down his forehead, and his hands were covered in blood, yet he still desperately used his blood-soaked hands to cover his mouth, enduring the bone-deep pain.

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for making the enemy cripple his source of happiness. Reward: 500 Villain Points."

A group of guards patrolling the City Lord's Mansion passed by Mu Hongyan's door and heard the mournful scream. Seeing that it came from the Madam's room, they dared not inquire.

They had personally seen the Prime Minister enter the Madam's room. Who knew what new tricks the Prime Minister was playing? If they disturbed the Prime Minister's good time, they might lose their heads.

Mu Hongyan stared blankly at this scene, her small mouth slightly agape, revealing an expression of extreme surprise.

"This... this..., Qin Tian, you... how did you make him cripple his own lifeblood?" Mu Hongyan asked in astonishment.

Qin Tian pulled Mu Hongyan into his embrace, holding her soft, boneless hand, and chuckled, "Madam, haven't you heard that lust is the root of all evil?"

"As long as we eliminate this source of evil, he will quiet down a lot."

"Besides, you are now my woman. How could I let this scoundrel get away with coveting you? I'll make sure he never has such thoughts again."

Mu Hongyan's face flushed slightly upon hearing this, and she playfully chided, "You... you're too overbearing!"

Although she said this, her heart was incredibly sweet. At least it proved that Qin Tian truly liked her and had a very strong possessiveness towards her.

Qin Tian laughed heartily, "This Young Master is just that overbearing. If anyone dares to covet this Young Master's woman, I'll make sure they don't even have the thought."

"Madam, go call Cao Ze over. I'll arrange his follow-up matters, and then we'll be leaving."

"Leaving?"

"Qin Tian, leaving for where?" Mu Hongyan asked in surprise.

"Madam, Cao Ren's trouble has been resolved. He will continue to look after Cao Ze and also take care of your Family. What else are you worried about?"

"Of course, you must come with me and stay with me forever! Don't you want to be with me?" Qin Tian asked with a smile.

Mu Hongyan was slightly stunned upon hearing this. She had never really thought about this question. Of course, she wanted to stay with this little rascal forever.

Since meeting this little rascal a month ago, her heart, which had been empty and lonely for over twenty years, was finally filled by Qin Tian.

She could no longer endure the empty and lonely days of the past.

Previously, she feared Cao Ren. No matter how much resentment she harbored, she dared not betray him and could only obediently stay in the Prime Minister's Residence.

Now it was different. Cao Ren had become Qin Tian's dog. If she told Cao Ren to catch a chicken, he would never dare to catch a dog.

Thinking of this, she looked at Qin Tian with beautiful eyes and smiled charmingly, "Can I teach Cao Ren a lesson and vent my anger?"

Qin Tian nodded and chuckled, "Play as you like. Even if you play him to death, it doesn't matter."

"Hmph! I won't let him die. I'll make him forever enslaved, a obedient dog, so I can vent my anger on him whenever I'm in a bad mood!" Mu Hongyan huffed playfully.

"Cao Ren, stand there and let her hit you. Don't fight back, and don't make a sound!" Qin Tian commanded.

"Yes! Master!" Cao Ren respectfully replied.

Mu Hongyan's beautiful eyes turned cold. She moved gracefully, approached Cao Ren, and slapped him several times across his face.

"Slap, slap, slap!"

"I told you to go to my Mu family and snatch me away!"

"Slap, slap, slap!"

"I told you to occupy me!"

"Slap, slap, slap!"

"I told you to bully men and women!"

After a moment, Mu Hongyan's tender hands were red from hitting, and she was panting before she finally stopped.

Then, she lifted her jade leg and kicked fiercely at Cao Ren's recently injured area, roaring, "This is the price for making me live alone for over twenty years!"

"Bang!"

The already shattered Cao Ren's got another fatal blow.

Cao Ren could no longer bear it and collapsed directly to the ground. He covered his mouth with one hand and his pant leg with the other, his entire body convulsing and frothing at the mouth, but he still rigidly carried out Qin Tian's command, not daring to utter a sound.

Seeing this, Qin Tian's mouth twitched. He hadn't expected that Mu Hongyan, who was as gentle as water when rowing on the boat, would be so ruthless when teaching someone a lesson.

It seemed that the famous adage on the Blue Star was indeed true: better to offend a villain than a woman.

Mu Hongyan clapped her hands, moved gracefully, came before Qin Tian, hugged his arm, and chided playfully, "Little rascal, are you scared? If you dare to treat me like Cao Ren did in the future, I'll deal with you like this."

Qin Tian's mouth twitched, and he laughed heartily, "I will only make you happy! Of course, in return, you must also make me happy. We benefit each other."

Mu Hongyan's face flushed crimson upon hearing this. How could she not understand Qin Tian's hidden meaning? However, the naughtier Qin Tian was, the more she liked him.

Qin Tian made her experience the feeling of her maidenhood again. Being with Qin Tian now was like a sweet romance between a young man and woman.

"Alright, Madam, you've vented your anger. Quickly call Cao Ze over."

Mu Hongyan nodded and quickly used Divine Sense to inform Cao Ze.

Qin Tian casually flicked a Healing Medicinal Pill to Cao Ren and commanded, "Heal yourself and tidy up."

"Yes! Master!"

...

Outside Tianyang City, beside a large river.

Jiang Chen slowly opened his eyes.

"Ah! So painful!"

He raised his hand and touched the back of his head, clearly feeling a large bump there, which made him gasp in pain.

"What's going on? Who ambushed me?"

"Could it be Ji Qingtian?"

"Impossible. Ji Qingtian was badly beaten by me. Even if he miraculously survived, he would have no strength to fight again. If it were him, he would never have left me alive."

Jiang Chen looked bewildered. Suddenly, he looked at the Storage Ring on his hand and then felt his chest.

"Ah! Who is it? Who stole my Storage Ring? I'll tear you to pieces!" Jiang Chen roared to the sky.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Jiang Chen launched a furious attack at the ground beneath his feet, making the entire area tremble.

"Ah!"

Jiang Chen roared frantically, his entire body trembling.

All his treasures were gone; how could he not be enraged?

Then, he looked inward at his Sea of Consciousness and, seeing that the Divine Artifact, the lapis lazuli bead, was still there, he let out a long sigh of relief.

...

City Lord's Mansion, Mu Hongyan's room.

Cao Ze arrived at Mu Hongyan's room and saw his father, Cao Ren, standing nearby, along with an incredibly handsome man. He frowned, puzzled, "Mother! Did you call me for something?"

Mu Hongyan nodded and smiled, "I called you here to meet your new father."
