Berserk God of War

Dong dong dong...

Yao Yulou gently knocked on the door of Hua Lidian.

The latter opened it with confusion, then exclaimed with joy, ”Brother Yulou, you’re back?”

Bang...

As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Yulou suddenly struck Hua Lidian on the head, knocking him unconscious.

By the time Hua Lidian slowly came to, he found himself bound by ropes, with his True Qi sealed, and he asked in bewilderment, ”Brother Yulou, what are you doing?”

Hua Lidian was completely dumbfounded. He had been worried about Yao Yulou’s safety, and now that he was back, he had been kidnapped.

Indeed, Yao Yulou was standing right in front of Hua Lidian...

And Hua Lidian didn’t even know where he was tied up; it certainly wasn’t in his own room anymore.

Suddenly, Hua Lidian thought of something...

He loudly promised, ”Brother Yulou, I won’t compete with you for Wanyou. As long as she’s happy, I’m content.”

Hua Lidian wondered if Yao Yulou was worried he might try to steal Jiang Wanyou.

But as soon as he said this, Yao Yulou raised his head sharply, his eyes as cold and dead as two icy pools.

Then, he bitterly smiled and said, ”Brother Hua, don’t worry. I won’t hurt you. I tied you here just to ask you for one thing... to take good care of Wanyou and never let her do anything foolish.”

On hearing this, Hua Lidian was dumbstruck again. What on earth was going on?

However, he’s not a fool. Although his realm is not high, he’s experienced a lot. He immediately thought of something and asked tremblingly, ”Brother Yulou, what are you planning? Are you the one about to do something foolish?”

Such a request made it easy to imagine that Yao Yulou might be planning to leave Jiang Wanyou to do something dangerous.

Upon hearing this, Yao Yulou gently smiled and replied, ”Brother Hua, I’ll leave Wanyou in your care from now on.”

He did not answer Hua Lidian’s question or provide much explanation.

Instead, he continued to speak softly...

”This isn’t a dangerous place, just a small courtyard at an inn near the Teng Mansion. In a day, the True Qi Lock on you will automatically release, and you can break the ropes.”

”By then, you can safely return.”

”Originally, I only wanted to tie you in your room, but Ajing is too skilled. When he returns and doesn’t find me, he will definitely come looking for you and guess what I am up to, so this was my only option.”

”Meixi is your daughter, so I don’t need to say much about that...”

”But as for Wanyou, you must comfort her well, give her warmth again, and make her forget about me.”

After saying this, Yao Yulou heavily thanked Hua Lidian, suppressing the pain in his heart as he turned to leave.

Before leaving, Yao Yulou sealed Hua Lidian’s mouth, preventing him from speaking.

The room was left only with Hua Lidian’s muffled sounds, but after just ten breaths, the door suddenly opened again, and Hua Lidian stopped struggling, widening his eyes once more...

This time it wasn’t Yao Yulou but Jiang Wanyou...

”Mmm mmm mmm...”

Hua Lidian called out, but Jiang Wanyou just paused, not unsealing his mouth.

She softly smiled and said, ”Lidian, I leave Meixi to you.”

”Make sure she doesn’t do anything foolish and that Ajing keeps a close eye on her.”

”More importantly, you must tell Ajing... there’s still hope for Yulou and me, so he must not jump to any conclusions or let our situation affect the bigger picture.”

”Tell Ajing that dying with Yulou is my best ending.”

”We will definitely provide the strongest support for his plan to destroy the Thousand Prison Tower. Make sure you tell Ajing not to worry about our lives; we truly have a chance.”

At this point, Jiang Wanyou gazed deeply at Hua Lidian...

”I’m sorry, truly sorry.”

”I now love Yulou even more, and I can only accompany him to take risks and perhaps meet death, even if it means disappointing you.”

After speaking, Jiang Wanyou apologized again and then resolutely left the room, leaving only Hua Lidian’s muffled sobs.

Hua Lidian was already full of tears...

Although he didn’t understand what was happening, he really wanted to say: Wanyou, I am willing to die for you as well. Can you take me with you?

Ultimately, he sighed. He couldn’t follow them to death because he still had his daughter, Hua Meixi.

If he also went to die, it would be too cruel to his daughter.

...

An hour later, Sikong Jing returned to the Teng Mansion...

By this time, Yang Yi, Hua Meixi, and others had already gathered in the main courtyard of the Teng Mansion, waiting for Sikong Jing’s arrival.

They were ready to celebrate and also to welcome Sikong Jing and honor his return.

After a small toast with everyone, Sikong Jing asked, ”Where is Uncle Yao? Why isn’t he with you?”

He hadn’t seen Yao Yulou along the way...

”Uncle Yao received a message and left, not even entering the Teng Mansion,” Hua Meixi answered with a smile, then thought of something and asked back, ”Didn’t you send that message?”

Hua Meixi thought that the previous message was Sikong Jing reaching out to Uncle Yao for something.

Upon hearing this, Sikong Jing’s pupils suddenly contracted deeply, and a strong sense of unease surged in his heart.

The next moment, he thought of something and asked sharply, ”Where’s Aunt Yao? Why isn’t she here either?”

Upon hearing this, Hua Meixi didn’t think much of it and gently replied, ”I just sent someone to find her, but it seems she’s not in the Teng Mansion. She might be out, I don’t know.”

Instantly, Sikong Jing felt even more uneasy.

”You all keep drinking. I’ll go look for Aunt Jiang...” Sikong Jing suddenly put down the wine cup and disappeared in a flash.

Of course, Jiang Wanyou wouldn’t attend such occasions; she preferred quiet.

Seeing Sikong Jing like this, everyone was stunned. Then Yang Yi, Weng Ting, and Gongyang Ying felt something was wrong and, along with Hua Meixi, hurried to Jiang Wanyou’s residence.

Meanwhile, Sikong Jing arrived at Jiang Wanyou’s courtyard.

He didn’t need to go in to notice there was no one in the room. Then Sikong Jing, with slightly contracting pupils, said, ”The aura of the Evil Charm Holy Body, why would Aunt Jiang suddenly start her cultivation?”

Sikong Jing keenly sensed the aura of the Evil Charm Holy Body...

But to avoid being used as a resource, Aunt Jiang had, at her father Jiang Bi’s behest, lived as an ordinary person since childhood.

But now, her room carried traces of the Evil Charm Holy Body’s aura.

There’s an issue, definitely a big issue...

Sikong Jing dared not be negligent and immediately summoned the Spiritual Shadow Power to sweep through the entire Teng Mansion, yet he found no trace of Jiang Wanyou, indicating she was no longer within the mansion.

Swish swish swish...

At this moment, Yang Yi, Hua Meixi, and the others had caught up.

When Hua Meixi learned that her mother was not in the Teng Mansion, she froze on the spot.

She murmured, ”Since coming to Overlord City, my mother left only a few times and always told me when she did. It’s impossible she’d just leave the Teng Mansion without saying anything.”
