172: Chapter 172 Breaking the Inner Demon

Su Muyan had hated men since she was a child. When she was young, she was kidnapped by a perverted man, and if her parents hadn't arrived in time, her life might have been ruined.

This incident became an indelible shadow in her heart. From then on, to prevent her beauty from attracting trouble, she changed her style and dressed herself like a tomboy.

Her purpose was to protect her vulnerable childhood self and prevent anyone from noticing her.

But why, why was she still being forced to experience this scene? Dad, Mom, where are you? My martial arts are gone, and I’ve become that helpless little girl again.

Instantly, her face was filled with bleak despair. Just then, a voice reached her, sounding like the music of the heavens.

"You stinking hooligan, die!"

He strode forward and delivered a punch, knocking the perverted Scarred Man straight to the ground. The man then mounted the Scarred Man and delivered punch after punch. He only stopped after the perverted man lost consciousness.

"You... you are..."

Qin Yun looked at the bound Su Muyan and gently rubbed her head. "Don't worry, the bad guy has been defeated. I'm here to help you find your parents."

"Ah! He, he stood up!"

Su Muyan's face turned pale. Qin Yun looked back, only to find that the Scarred Man had already gotten up, his injuries fully recovered. His voice echoed from all directions.

"Hehehe, little girl, you're so cute, come play with Uncle! Uncle will love you dearly."

"Girls who grow up to be so delicate aren't they all meant to serve men? So, isn't it okay for Uncle to have an early taste?"

"Hiss, hiss, so cute, too cute! I like you so much! You're small and soft."

The Scarred Man had completely transformed into streaks of black shadows. They were no longer human figures, but Su Muyan's Heart Demons. The resentment in the phoenix essence blood had drawn out the memories Su Muyan least wanted to recall.

Su Muyan's body trembled with anger and fear upon hearing this news. She curled up, covering her ears, completely unwilling to hear any of it.

Qin Yun saw this sight, sighed, and immediately shielded Su Muyan behind him, speaking softly.

"Don't worry, with me here, these guys won't hurt you. I keep my promises!"

After speaking, Qin Yun immediately started fighting the group of black shadows. These shadows were Su Muyan's Heart Demons, her inner fears. If Su Muyan didn't overcome them, these Heart Demons would never be fully eliminated.

But Qin Yun wouldn't try to persuade her; instead, he would use his actions to prove his point, using his actions to help her overcome this fear.

Here, time seemed meaningless. Su Muyan's Heart Demons multiplied infinitely; no matter how much Qin Yun killed, he couldn't eliminate them all. Furthermore, they continuously used sounds to disturb Su Muyan.

Time passed moment by moment. There was no concept of time in this place, but if Qin Yun calculated based on his breathing frequency and heartbeat, he had been fighting here for almost a week.

His powerful Mental Energy kept him tireless. All he could do now was help Su Muyan see her own heart clearly.

"What is the point of protecting her like this? No matter how strong she becomes, I will always be the shadow that she can never shake off in her heart! As long as she fears me, I can never be killed!"

"Then I will keep killing, until the day she overcomes the shadow in her heart. Before that, I will escort and protect her!"

Su Muyan's body trembled. Sometimes, she truly wanted to just die. The most terrifying scene in her heart kept repeating before her eyes, and her inner self had long been filled with this fear.

But... Su Muyan slowly raised her head. She saw Qin Yun constantly fighting for her, and something seemed to loosen in her heart.

She hated men, a physiological hatred!

Because men were animals who thought with their lower bodies. They only cared about their own pleasure and never considered how much harm their momentary gratification would inflict upon a woman.

Qin Yun, Xiao Shang's brother! Jiang City's greatest Scoundrel! He had countless women around him! Logically, this type of man should be the existence she hated the most.

But why was it that this playboy gave her a much better impression than other men? Why was he fighting until this moment for her, someone he had no connection to?

In that instant, she seemed to understand why the women around him liked him.

After being protected for so long, Su Muyan slowly stood up. Looking at Qin Yun, whose body was covered in bloodstains, she gently walked over to him.

"Mr. Qin... thank you! Thank you for protecting me."

"Oh, the little girl stood up, ha ha ha ha! I am your nightmare, your indelible nightmare! You will never escape me!"

"No, you are just a bug, a despicable, shameless, and vulgar piece of scum, a bug that only dares to draw a knife against the weak!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Muyan's small figure walked directly toward the black shadows. "You were born from my shadow, which means if you don't exist in my heart, you will cease to exist!"

"Impossible! You can't not be afraid! That is fear carved into the depths of your Soul! You cannot be unafraid!"

"Because someone protected me again and again. This time, I want to protect myself!"

"No, this is bad!"

As soon as the words fell, the bodies of all the black shadows melted like ice and snow, turning entirely into dust.

Qin Yun blinked, looking a little lost at the sight, while Su Muyan smiled and spoke to Qin Yun.

"Thank you, Mr. Qin. It's time to wake up, or they will start worrying."

Looking at the little girl before him, Qin Yun felt a slight regret. "This style of clothing suits you quite well. Although you might hate it, I still have to say, you look very beautiful in a skirt!"

Upon hearing this, Su Muyan's lips curved slightly, and the figures of the two vanished from the place.

The Heart Demon was broken.
