After giving her instructions, Su Hua noticed it was almost time to leave work and added, "Once you've carried out my orders, send her back to the Lin Family. The rest is up to you."
Compared to tormenting Jiang Shuqin, she much preferred spending time with her beloved A-Xuan.
Su Hua left.
Jiang Shuqin was then thrown into a freezer by Jiang Qing's orders—a freezer set at minus one degree Celsius.
Clad only in a long dress and a black long-sleeved top, the biting cold made Jiang Shuqin recall the time Lin Xuan had broken the jade necklace she had painstakingly purchased.
She had made him kneel in the snow as punishment.
At the time, she hadn’t thought much of it. But now, she realized just how bone-chillingly cold it was...
No.
She shouldn’t feel guilty at all.
If Lin Xuan hadn’t stolen and broken her jade, would she have punished him by making him kneel outside?
Jiang Shuqin hugged herself tightly.
Su Hua clearly wasn’t going to let her off easily. How much more torment would she have to endure?
That Lin Xuan was nothing but a jinx!
First, her child was lost because of him, and now Su Hua was subjecting her to this torture!
On the way back, the driver steered the car down a sparsely traveled road flanked by mountains.
Suddenly, Su Hua frowned, her sharp gaze scanning the surroundings.
"Stop the car," she ordered.
"Master, what’s wrong?" the driver asked, puzzled.
Su Hua didn’t answer, her eyes fixed in one direction.
Just then, an arrow shot out from that very spot.
"Protect the master!"
Four or five bodyguards swiftly surrounded Su Hua’s car, forming a protective barrier. Two others sprinted toward the source of the arrow.
Su Hua commanded, "Bring me that arrow."
"Yes," a bodyguard acknowledged, retrieving it immediately.
Su Hua examined the arrow carefully before snapping it in half with her slender, jade-like fingers. Inside the hollow shaft was a note.
"My spirit, return to us. Surely you wouldn’t want your A-Xuan to remember what happened on the island, would you?"
Su Hua’s face drained of color.
Her grip tightened.
Crack.
The arrow shattered into dust in her hand.
So, they wanted to take A-Xuan away from her again?
Hmph.
Anyone who dared steal A-Xuan from her deserved death!
Su Hua picked up her phone and ordered, "Find out the whereabouts of the assassination group 'Shang' immediately!"
She would annihilate them all.
Jiang Qing nodded. "Understood."
She remembered Shang was an international assassin organization. Why was Su Hua investigating them?
Su Hua leaned back against the car seat, her mind flashing back to the memories of her and Lin Xuan on the island.
If A-Xuan really regained his memories...
She couldn’t guarantee he would stay by her side...
This was a ticking time bomb.
The fury in Su Hua’s eyes intensified.
She wanted to kill them all—every single person who stood between her and A-Xuan.
Slowly, a crimson hue tinged her gaze.
One of the bodyguards noticed the change in her eyes and urgently said, "The master is about to have an episode! Hurry back to Night Garden and find Young Master Lin! Only he can calm her down!"
"Got it!"
The driver slammed on the accelerator, and the car sped off.
Old Master Su arrived at Night Garden.
"Grandfather, what brings you here?" Lin Xuan stepped forward to support him.
"Just bored at home, so I thought I’d drop by," Old Master Su replied.
"Xiao Xuan, has Hua'er still not shown any signs of pregnancy?" the old man couldn’t help but ask.
Lin Xuan frowned.
Was he referring to Su Hua being pregnant?
"Not yet," Lin Xuan answered honestly.
"That can’t be. You two are so... active. How could she not be pregnant?" Old Master Su looked genuinely puzzled.
There shouldn’t be anything wrong with Hua'er’s health.
And Xiao Xuan seemed perfectly healthy too.
Lin Xuan also found it strange.
They hadn’t taken any precautions, so why wasn’t she pregnant?
Still, perhaps it was for the best. From what he knew, the Su Family was a den of wolves. Now wasn’t the right time for a child.
Old Master Su suddenly had a thought and stroked his chin, eyeing Lin Xuan suspiciously. "You two haven’t been using protection, have you?"
Lin Xuan shook his head. "No."
"That doesn’t make sense." Old Master Su’s brows knitted together.
They’d been together for over a year. Why no child yet?
"Grandfather," Lin Xuan reassured him, "when the time is right, it’ll happen naturally."
"True, true." The old man nodded.
Given how inseparable the young couple was, a child was bound to come sooner or later.
Su Hua returned to Night Garden.
"Hua'er," Old Master Su greeted her.
He was about to say something when he noticed her gaze fixed on Lin Xuan.
Her eyes were tinged with crimson.
"Is Hua'er having an episode?" Old Master Su stiffened in alarm.
"Yes," a bodyguard confirmed.
Their exchange drew Su Hua’s attention, and her icy glare shifted to Old Master Su and the bodyguard.
Her eyes brimmed with murderous intent.
Old Master Su: "..."
His granddaughter truly became unrecognizable during these episodes—except for Lin Xuan.
Love really did overshadow familial bonds.
As Su Hua advanced toward him with that deadly look in her eyes, Old Master Su shuddered.
With surprising agility for his age, he darted behind Lin Xuan.
He needed to hide.
His old bones couldn’t withstand Hua'er’s wrath. He still needed to stay in good health to welcome his future grandchild!
Su Hua’s gaze followed the old man’s movement before settling on Lin Xuan.
She frowned.
Why was her little bed slave just sitting there instead of coming to her?
Su Hua strode over without hesitation, pinning him to the couch and kissing him fiercely.
Lin Xuan: "!!!"
Seriously? After seven days and nights, he’d hoped for at least a few days of rest.
But now, Hua Bao was having an episode...
His kidneys were doomed again!
When Su Hua was like this, she was especially relentless—though the silver lining was that these episodes didn’t last too long.
She ravaged Lin Xuan’s lips, even biting down hard enough to make him hiss in pain. A flicker of guilt crossed her eyes, and she softened her touch.
Little bed slave?
Old Master Su chuckled and shook his head.
Ah, youth.
He really was getting too old to keep up with the times.
Clatter.
Someone knocked over a knife.
The disturbance reignited Su Hua’s irritation, and her murderous glare swept across the room.
Sensing danger, Old Master Su quickly said, "Let’s go, let’s go. We should leave now."
Best to let them have their privacy.
No point interrupting the lovebirds.
ey change clothes. Li Chuan contributed all his possessions, only to find that things were not as they seemed. Almost a year after joining, he hadn’t managed to get a single Daoist consort. Thinking he had been deceived, he was approached by a stunning senior fellow disciple who asked if he would like to form a spiritual bond. For those who don’t practice cultivation, they might not know what “forming a spiritual bond” is. Let me put it this way: A long-term relationship is called a “Daoist consort,” while a short-term relationship is known as “forming a spiritual bond.” From then on, Li Chuan discovered the true way to interact with the Yin-Yang Sect’s Daoist consorts. As long as he had enough spirit stones, he could form a spiritual bond with anyone, Whether it’s Senior Sisters, aunts, Daoist consorts of aunts, female elders, Daoist consorts of elders, or even the Daoist consort of the sect leader, anyone can form a spiritual bond as long as there are enough spirit stones.” I've already joined the Yin-Yang Sect, and you're telling me to focus on cultivation? Do you even know what the Yin-Yang Sect is all about?
