Lu Ming suppressed the ripples in his heart, took a deep breath, turned around and looked towards He Yuanqi who was not far away, and said lightly, “I didn’t expect to be able to hide from you.”

Lu Ming was indeed a bit surprised by this, He Qingci should have escaped from the He Mansion through this secret passage, and it was impossible to be discovered by He Yuanqi, now was he caught by He Yuanqi?

At this time, a delicate laugh came from behind He Yuanqi, Lu Ming raised his eyes to look, only to see a woman in purple slowly coming out of the darkness, with a smile on her face. The corners of her eyes slightly rose up, her smile one in a million.

Lu Ming froze. This person was actually the second wife, Xu Zhongyan. However, her temperament now was almost completely different from before. Anyone would not be able to link this charming woman as the soft second wife.

Xu Zhongyan’s eyes were twinkling and she smiled softly, “It’s only thanks to Fu Shu, otherwise we might not have been able to find our way here.”

Lu Ming looked at Fu Shu incredulously, and his eyes gradually became complicated. When He Qingci escaped, he should have left quietly by himself and did not bring Fu Shu out, which avoided He Yuanqi. Now He Yuanqi found the whereabouts, certainly they had a relationship.

Fu Shu smiled, her face suddenly white, hurriedly shaking her head trembling, “Young master, not me! You must believe Fu Shu, even if I die, I will never betray you!”

Lu Ming coldly glanced at Xu Zhongyan, suppressing his doubts, and said, “You don’t have to tell such lies to separate me from Fu Shu.”

Xu Zhongyan covered his mouth and laughed lightly, “But it is Fu Shu, her body has long been placed by me ‘ten thousand miles to find’, even if she were to run ten thousand miles away, or turned into a pile of white bones, I can use the children to find her.”

Lu Ming frowned, “The children?”

Xu Zhongyan reached out her hand and gently pulled the sleeve open. Dense black worms almost covered her entire arm. The black insects were crawling around constantly, looking both disgusting and horrible.

Lu Ming saw the situation, could not help but get goose bumps all over. The association of this hand also once hugged himself, he could not help but feel his stomach churning.

Fu Shu’s body shook, as if her strength had suddenly been taken away and fell limp on the ground. Her eyes filled with tears, she covered her face and cried, “Young master, it’s all Fu Shu’s fault!”

Lu Ming heard Xu Zhongyan’s explanation and was relieved to know that it was not Fu Shu who betrayed him. He reached out to help Fu Shu and said softly, “It’s not your fault, get up.”

Lu Ming said coldly to He Yuanqi, “It seems that today is not a good end, even if I die, I will not let you take this body.”

He Yuanqi heard, couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh lightly, “Qingci has always been well-behaved, why is he so disobedient today?”

Before Lu Ming could react, He Yuanqi suddenly raised his arm, and a burst of great pressure swept over and rushed straight to Fu Shu. Fu Shu was caught off guard and screamed. Her body was pushed far away by this force and hit the ground hard.

“Fu Shu!” Lu Ming shrieked, his eyes were wide open, and he said angrily towards He Yuanqi, “If you have anything, just come at me, why make things difficult for people who have nothing to do with it?!”

He Yuanqi smiled lightly and said, “This is what you get for disobeying me. If you follow me back, I can consider releasing them both.”

Jing Mo heard this and hastily shouted, “Brother, don’t listen to his fancy words, and don’t go back with him!”

Lu Ming, hearing Jing Mo’s words, turned his head and smiled gently, as if his eyebrows were tinted with a layer of warm jade-like color. He said, “Don’t worry, I won’t give up this life so easily.”

His black hair swayed freely with the wind, as if the gods had descended from the sky, not daring to come forward to blaspheme. Lu Ming’s gaze was awe-inspiring, his eyes were cold without a trace of temperature. Lightning quick, Lu Ming flew to He Yuanqi, and before he could react, he reached out to his chest with a palm.

He Yuanqi was struck by such a strong blow, even though he was already Gold Core stage, he still could not resist. He retreated a few meters because of this palm, and blood slowly flowed down the corners of his mouth.

He Yuanqi reached out to wipe away the blood from the corner of his mouth, hooked up the corners of his mouth and smiled lightly. His eyes filled with an inexplicable fervor as he said, “You can have such power at the middle stage Foundation Establishment. It is not in vain that I have waited for so many years.”

Lu Ming said coldly, “Cut the crap, come on.”

He Yuanqi said indifferently, “You can’t beat me, and I don’t want to destroy your body. If you can behave yourself, you can still enjoy a few days of peace, don’t deny the wine.”

Lu Ming knew it was useless to talk any more nonsense with him, so he flew forward and tangled with He Yuanqi. Lu Ming fought fiercely and viciously, and although He Yuanqi was one status higher than him, he fought fearfully. Soon they were evenly matched and entered a stalemate.

Xu Zhongyan saw that the two had fought for a long time but did not distinguish a winner, impatiently said, “He Yuanqi, if you do not dare to hurt him, then let me come. I promise to leave him unharmed.”

He Yuanqi, while dealing with Lu Ming, sighed, “As the saying goes, concern is chaos. It’s better for you to do it, don’t hurt his body.”

Xu Zhongyan’s eyes filled with a bloodthirsty frenzy, as if a hungry beast, her eyes started glowing green. She looked bizarre and scary as her hand outstretched. The arm was filled with dense insects that fell down and quickly crawled towards Lu Ming.

Jing Mo’s heart was astonished, hurriedly flew up, the palm of his hand condensed a white-golden flame, and threw it towards those black bugs. The bugs on the ground were instantly burned to death, emitting a pungent scorching smell. Unfortunately, the number of worms was too large, and although most of them were burned to death, they continued to crawl in the direction of Lu Ming.

At this moment, Fu Shu, who was closest to Xu Zhongyan, suddenly ran over and spread her arms to hug Xu Zhongyan tightly, while shouting, “Young master, you run!”

Lu Ming, frightened and angry, shouted at Fu Shu, “Fu Shu, come back!”

Xu Zhongyan was caught off guard by Fu Shu, and while struggling, she said angrily, “Bitch! Let go of me if you don’t want to die!”

Fu Shu’s body was covered with worms in a short time, her eyes were filled with tears and her body was trembling, but she bit her lip and held back her fear, saying to Lu Ming, “Fu Shu’s life is a lowly one, if I can help young master escape, it is a good death. I just hope the young master will not forget Fu Shu too soon, that is enough.”

Before the crowd could react, Fu Shu suddenly launched herself and dragged Xu Zhongyan to the edge of the cliff, and without hesitation, she leapt forward and disappeared instantly, leaving only Xu Zhongyan’s mournful screams echoing in the dark night.

“Fu Shu!” Lu Ming’s heart jerked tightly, as if grief had turned into a monstrous rage, almost making him lose all sense, his heart as cold as the winter months.

When he came to this world, the first moment he opened his eyes, he saw this simple girl, who had been quietly helping him, not caring about being abused and bullied, but still using her own weak strength to guard him silently. Because he had her, he was happy.

Lu Ming’s eyes filled with tears, his eyes turned red, and his hands moved more and more ruthlessly, pouring all his aura into his palm and pounding towards He Yuanqi.

Standing aside, Jing Mo hurriedly rushed forward to block He Yuanqi’s powerful palm, while shouting, “Brother, you can’t release your aura anymore, if you continue like this, you will die of aura exhaustion!”

Lu Ming turned a deaf ear, the shock of Fu Shu’s death was so great that he had lost his mind. His aura kept refusing to retract, instead releasing more and more, his cheeks gradually turned white, his body trembled, obviously he was barely holding on.

Jing Mo’s eyes flashed a trace of heartache, he took a deep breath, suddenly scampered behind Lu Ming, reached out and struck him on the back of the neck. Lu Ming received a heavy blow, his brain was suddenly chaotic, his eyes were black. His feet could no longer support him, and he was about to fall headlong to the ground.

Jing Mo reached out and put Lu Ming in his arms, flying to the side and placing Lu Ming gently on the ground.

Lu Ming’s mind was in doubt, and suddenly a bad feeling came over him. His face turned white, biting his lips to death, holding on to a shred of sanity, he tightly pulled on Jing Mo’s sleeve and said in a trembling voice, “Xiao Mo, you.”

Jing Mo smiled faintly, two shallow dimples appeared on his white face, his eyes blossomed as if they were like dazzling stones, the corners of his mouth hooked up, reached out and attached his hands to Lu Ming’s eyes, blocking his view, then said softly, “Brother, you should sleep first, everything will be fine when you wake up.”

Lu Ming was trembling, trying to lift his hand to push Jing Mo away, but his fingers could not exert any strength, and his mind was slowly becoming blurred. With the last ounce of strength, he said brokenly, “Don’t do anything stupid. If you die, I will have nothing.”

Jing Mo heard the words, first was stunned, and then, his eyes burst out in a wild surprise. He desperately suppressed his heart’s joy, came close to Lu Ming, lowered his eyes, eyelashes fluttered slightly, and put his lips on Lu Ming’s smooth forehead, then said, “I’m willing to die for brother.”

Lu Ming’s heart seemed to be struck by a heavy blow, a tear fell from the corner of his eye, the fear and heartfelt sorrow he had never felt before made his brain crash, his eyes suddenly blacked out and he lost consciousness completely.

Jing Mo saw that Lu Ming had fallen into a deep sleep, and leisurely stretched out his hand, using his fingertips to wipe away the hot tears at the corner of Lu Ming’s eyes, and put them in his mouth and licked them. His eyes gradually turned crimson, and on his cheeks appeared extremely bizarre black dark lines.

The dark lines were getting deeper and deeper, and more and more, and in a short time they covered his entire forehead. With those red eyes, it looked as if the devil came up from hell. He smiled slowly, full of fondness looking at Lu Ming’s quiet sleeping eyes, his voice seemed to float slowly in the air with the breeze, “Brother, I said I would take you away.”

Not far away, He Yuanqi saw Jing Mo’s cheeks covered with black dark lines, and his heart filled with a sudden shock. His originally calm eyes gradually filled with fear, and his lips could not help but shake, murmuring, “Demon King!”
