Divine Emperor of Heavenly Destiny

In front of her father and the other members of the Su Family, Shen Ji stood holding a whip, his entire body seemingly shrouded in a sinister and terrifying aura.

He slowly turned his head and stared directly at Cheng Yunsu. ”Lu Chao’s wife. We meet again.”

Shen Ji’s voice was sinister and terrifying. His body and face were covered in blood—splatter from his whipping of Cheng Chuming and the others.

He stared intently at Cheng Yunsu, his voice raspy as he spoke again...

”You really did leave the Azure Flame Sect’s Forbidden Land ahead of schedule. Do you know how I knew you left early? Or why I’m here with members of the Saint Bone Zheng Family?”

Cheng Yunsu didn’t answer, her eyes fixed on her father, who was covered in wounds...

’I can’t be bothered with any of this,’ she thought. ’All I know is that I have to break through right now. I have to save my father from this hell.’

”Not answering?”

”No matter. Why isn’t Lu Chao here yet?”

”Can he not make it in time? Or does he not dare to show up? Or maybe he just doesn’t care whether his father-in-law lives or dies?”

Seeing Cheng Yunsu’s silence, Shen Ji fired off several more questions.

He continued in that same sinister, terrifying tone, ”From what I understand, he’s supposed to be a man of deep feeling. I plan to kill these members of the Saint Bone Su Family right in front of him, just like he... killed the members of my Shen Family.”

As he said this, Shen Ji’s rage flared, soaring to the heavens.

Of course, torturing Cheng Chuming and the others like this was his way of avenging his own family.

Lu Chao had gone on a rampage at the Beast Flame Academy, slaughtering members of his Saint Bone Shen Family.

At that moment, Cheng Chuming finally struggled back to consciousness. He slowly lifted his head to look at Cheng Yunsu, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes as he yelled, ”Yunsu, run! Get out of here, now!”

But when he saw that his daughter was also bound, his voice broke into a frantic tremor, the words catching in his throat.

Shen Ji whipped his head around at the sound.

He stared at the wounded Cheng Chuming. ”Run? Do you think she can? I won’t let her. I’m going to make her a woman of my Saint Bone Shen Family, to birth generation after generation for my Shen Family.”

”Hahaha...”

”She will bear a child for every member of my Saint Bone Shen Family that Lu Chao killed.”

With that, he abruptly turned to an old woman at the edge of the courtyard and asked, ”Elder Lady Su, is there a problem?”

Following his words, Cheng Yunsu’s gaze shifted to the edge of the courtyard.

There stood Elder Lady Su, Su Jueying, and a group of others from the Saint Bone Su Family, all completely unharmed. Every one of them wore a vicious grin, their eyes fixed on Cheng Yunsu with what looked like sickening excitement.

Elder Lady Su nodded without the slightest hesitation.

”Of course not. That bitch should pay the price for everything her husband has done.”

After a brief pause...

Elder Lady Su added, ”I just wonder... does this mean our Saint Bone Su Family and Patriarch Shen will become family by marriage?”

As she spoke, a fawning expression covered her face.

As the matriarch of the Saint Bone Su Family, she felt absolutely no heartache at the miserable plight of Cheng Chuming and Su Shangmo.

She even seemed to believe that offering up Cheng Yunsu could forge a marriage alliance with the Saint Bone Shen Family.

”Ha, hahaha...” Shen Ji couldn’t help but erupt in thunderous laughter.

He nodded emphatically. ”That will depend on how many descendants that bitch can provide for our Shen Family.”

The moment he finished speaking, Elder Lady Su turned to Cheng Yunsu and snarled, ”Did you hear that? You must produce more descendants for the Saint Bone Shen Family! The Su Family is in this state all because of you and Lu Chao!”

Cheng Yunsu remained silent.

Just as Elder Lady Su finished, Su Shangmo, who lay battered and bruised on the ground, suddenly lifted his head and roared, ”Elder Lady, we are the proud Saint Bone Su Family! How can you say something so utterly spineless?”

”How can you stand there and suggest a daughter of the Su Family be subjected to such violation and humiliation?”

The words had barely left his mouth when—BANG!

Elder Lady Su took a heavy step forward, her wrinkled face contorted in a ferocious snarl. ”Why shouldn’t I say it? A little bitch, a bastard granddaughter—she deserves to be violated! If not for her, would I be in this situation?”

”You bastards, you stripped me of my position as the head of the Saint Bone Su Family! Every one of you supported that useless bastard son!”

”Every one of you ran off to suck up to that damn mutt Lu Chao!”

”And look at you now! This is what you get for cozying up to Lu Chao! You’re whipped to a pulp, while we’re standing here perfectly fine.”

As she spoke, spittle flew from Elder Lady Su’s mouth.

Su Jueyan, unable to restrain himself, struggled to his feet. He yelled frantically, ”You old hag! If you hadn’t interfered, Saint Su City could have easily defended against Shen Ji’s attack! At the very least, we could have killed him and his men!”

At his words, Cheng Yunsu, who had been silent all this time, trembled violently.

’So it really was Elder Lady Su. Her sabotage is what allowed Shen Ji to take Saint Su City so easily. That’s why Father and the others were tortured like this. That’s what created a situation that forced Lu Chao and me to come here.’

Cheng Yunsu stared at Elder Lady Su, killing intent threatening to burst forth from her body.

”That’s right, I’m the one who caused the trouble.”

”Who else’s fault is it that this damn, trashy bastard of a Patriarch didn’t respect me? Who else’s fault is it that this little bitch had a Saint Bone Awakening only to revert to being useless trash? It’s all their fault! If you want to blame someone, blame them...”

As she spoke, Elder Lady Su pointed at Cheng Yunsu again.

She recalled the Saint Bone Ceremony, when Cheng Yunsu’s Saint Bone had awakened only to fail, after which it was Cheng Chuming’s turn to awaken.

It was precisely because of this...

...that she had been repeatedly and thoroughly humiliated by Lu Chao, leading to her position as head of the family being stripped away from her. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

Of course, Elder Lady Su never considered that she had been the one to look down on them first.

In her mind, it was all Lu Chao and the others’ fault.

”Pfft...”

As the members of the Saint Bone Su Family devolved into squabbling, Wu Yiyi, who was next to Cheng Yunsu, couldn’t help but let out a laugh.

”Cheng Yunsu, you little bitch, isn’t this all so thrilling?”

”The Saint Bone Su Family is in absolute chaos, your father is being whipped to a pulp by Patriarch Shen, and soon, you’ll be nothing but a piece of trash for the disciples of the Saint Bone Shen Family to play with as they please. Do you have any regrets?”

Cheng Yunsu still paid no mind to Wu Yiyi’s words, acting as if she couldn’t hear them.

’Right now, arguing is useless. The only way to solve this is to have a breakthrough or wait for Lu Chao to arrive.’

”You... you must regret it so much...”

”If you had just listened to me back then and given Lu Chao to me, none of this would be happening.”

But Wu Yiyi continued...

At these words, Zheng Zhuhe, who stood beside her, froze. He asked quickly, ”Yiyi, what are you talking about?”

The woman he loved had just said something like that? She had just admitted to fighting with Cheng Yunsu over Lu Chao in the past?

’What the hell?’
