Lan Yue’s voice sounded eerie, making one’s hair stand on end and sending a chill down the spine. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Mu Ruyue remained expressionless, her gaze silently fixed on the woman’s ferocious yet pale face, her tone indifferent as if discussing an insignificant matter.

"Really?"

The tone was as gentle as the wind, slowly drifting past her ears...

Lan Yue’s body stiffened, staring blankly at Mu Ruyue’s exquisite face, seemingly puzzled by the meaning of her words...

But at this moment, a sharp pain emerged from her body, as if it were tearing her entire soul apart...

"Ah!"

"Ahhh!"

So painful!

Lan Yue’s body began to tremble gently, as if she were a leaf swaying in the wind, ready to fall at any moment...

The pain was such that it seemed as if it could make her soul vanish at any moment...

"What... what did you do to me?"

"Nothing much," Mu Ruyue smiled faintly, "didn’t you say the Nine-layered Karma Fire could only cause you pain but not harm? Now, I’ll make your soul disperse! The Nine-layered Karma Fire of the past indeed couldn’t harm the soul, as there was no guiding spirit for them. But now, it belongs to me, so... it is no longer the Nine-layered Karma Fire of the past!"

Lan Yue’s eyes widened abruptly, unable to react in time as an intense heat ignited from her body.

At that moment, a pain she had never endured before invaded her, quickly disappearing from everyone’s sight...

"Dead... dead?"

Everyone gulped hard, too shocked to even speak coherently.

Then, all eyes focused on the white figure beneath the raging storm...

No one had ever realized that at this moment, the woman was astonishingly beautiful.

No wonder Feng Jingtian would not favor Lan Yue...

With such a woman by his side, no man would be moved by any other woman...

If anyone’s expression looked the worst now, it would be the Lord’s.

His face was extremely pale, and his clenched fists trembled. Suddenly, as if making a significant decision, he turned to Mu Ruyue and gritted his teeth, saying, "Miss, I was quite offensive earlier, please forgive me. I wonder if Miss..."

"What did you say?"

Mu Ruyue blinked, smiling faintly, "Sorry, I didn’t hear clearly..."

The Lord’s expression shifted from blue to white, then back to blue, changing rapidly.

However, now thinking of the only hope in the Lord Mansion, he involuntarily took a deep breath and said, "Miss, I believed the slander of others and was quite offensive to you, please forgive me. Now my son’s health is failing, I wonder if you have any method to save him?"

He believed that since Mu Ruyue could speak of Lan Yi’s situation, there must be a way to save him...

Perhaps this woman he once underestimated is now his only hope...

"Save him?" Mu Ruyue sneered, glancing at Lan Yi’s pale little face, "Why should I save him? Pointing out his situation was already kind enough, I have no obligation to save this person. Besides, I haven’t forgotten that you seemed to want to kill me and Feng Jingtian just now!"

The Lord’s face flushed with redness, anger brewing within, yet he could not vent it now.

Not only because of Lan Yi’s current condition, but also because this girl’s strength was too formidable. Even fighting her head-on would result in mutual destruction...
