Chapter 217: From Now On, We Are Strangers

sitting on her bed. She blinked her eyes and trembled, saying, "Well, uh, Jun Liye, you wouldn't be here for revenge, would you""What do you think" Jun Liye didn't answer, instead he countered with a..."Silence! Since you're so eager to die, I shall grant your wish! Go die!"

Furious, Zhao Ruoqing trembled all over. She pointed a finger at her, her full chest heaving up and down with anger, almost suffocating her to death.

Catching sight of the fallen leaves trembling on the ground, Su Qingying subtly raised her eyebrows. Her face remained unchanged, and the hand that had been across her chest quietly dropped, fingers spreading out, a cold light flashed, and dozens of worm larvae were firmly pinned to the ground before they could even crawl out from under the leaves.

Glancing at her face contorted with anger and surprise, Su Qingying blinked again, feigning confusion and saying, "Hey Auntie, I didn't say anything to you. Why are you getting so worked up Old people shouldn't get angry so easily. Look at you, your wrinkles could kill a fly."

At these words, Zhao Ruqing felt a sudden dizziness, blood surged within her, nearly vomiting blood!

"You! Kill her, all of you, kill her! Rip that woman's mouth to shreds for me, and let's see what she has to say then!"

Age has always been a thorn in her heart. Don't look at how she always calls Jun Liye "Night Brother," in reality, she is more than two years older than him!

Kē Su qīng líng this wretch is too good, every word and sentence straight to her heart, even dare to sarcasm her old! Unforgivable!

Rage surged through Zhao Ruoqing, reaching its boiling point. Her sinister aura flared wildly, countless venomous insects swarming out from the bamboo grove, forming a menacing black cloud that blanketed the area, truly terrifying to behold.

"Humph, you've arrived just in time!" Su Qingying narrowed her eyes, a cold gleam flashing within them. She unhooked the ancient Yueqin from her back, cradling it in one arm and gently stroking the strings with the other.

Jingle bells jingle bells

Invisible blades of wind surged forth, obliterating the swarming insects that flew in from all directions with unstoppable force. In an instant, they became nourishment for this bamboo grove.

Zhao Ruqing's facial muscles twitched uncontrollably, her eyes wide as she watched her beloved pet, which she had raised for several years, turn into fertilizer in an instant. Her heart was breaking!

The power of Gu Yueqin's ancient moon qin was truly formidable!

"Zhao Da-Auntie, these gu worms of yours aren't very impressive. They don't seem to be able to take a hit. Are you just relying on sheer numbers to intimidate people"

With a delicate touch, Su Qingying pressed down on the trembling strings of the qin. Her eyes, as beautiful and refined as jade, curved into a provocative smirk, revealing a careless smile that held a chilling undercurrent of murderous intent in her obsidian pupils.

"Su Qingying, you talk too much! Don't you always want the antidote to the Golden Cicada Gu to save your father Well, the antidote is in my hands. If you have the guts, come and get it!"

With a surge of anger, Zhao Ruqing suddenly pulled out a small white jade porcelain bottle and placed it on her palm. She stared fixedly at Su Qingying, a flash of cruel and venomous intent in her eyes.

"Sure enough, it's you! Old grudges and new ones, today we settle them together!" The hand lightly placed on the strings suddenly clenched, Su Qingying's phoenix eyes swept over, her killing intent bursting forth!

Ting ting ting —

With a light tap of her toes, she embraced the ancient moon qin and plucked its strings in mid-air. The frigid notes shot straight towards Zhao Ruqing!

"Die!"

Just as she was about to leap forward, she saw Zhao Ruoqing still standing motionless in place, facing her attack without any reaction, a hint of sinister light flickering in her eyes.

Oh no! Something's fishy!

Su Qingying was startled, her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately realized something was wrong. Unfortunately, her move was already out, and there was no time to change it!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Presumptuous! How dare you harm Qing'er!" Just as Su Qingying was about to get close to Zhao Ruqing, Jun Liye suddenly flew out from the shadows, his toes lightly tapping the ground silently.

"Arli!"

"Night Brother!"

Su Qingying and Zhao Ruqing were both taken aback, clearly not expecting him to appear suddenly!

However, before Su Qingying's surprise could fade, Jun Liye struck her chest with a cold and fierce palm, sending her flying backward.

"Pffft—"

Crushed under layers of bamboo, he tumbled to the ground in a sorry state. His chest throbbed with pain, and his qi and blood surged uncontrollably. Su Qingying couldn't help but cough up several mouthfuls of blood.

"Pffft—"

Zhao Ruoqing had already prepared to sacrifice the Golden Cicada Gu within her body, causing it to burrow into Su Qingying's body. Unexpectedly, she was interrupted by Jun Liye midway, leading to a backlash from the Gu worm. Her chest constricted with pain, and her face suddenly paled frightfully, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood.

Having been retaliated against by the worms, her injuries were probably worse than Su Qingying's!

“Qing’er! You’re hurt Where did she hurt you I’ll avenge you!” Ignoring Su Qingying who was heavily injured and bleeding, Jun Liye quickly walked over and helped Zhao Ruqing up from the ground. On his handsome face, a trace of iron-blooded killing intent appeared.

"Cough... Brother Ye, I'm fine, don't worry." Zhao Ruqing stared at the concern on his face, her mouth twitched stiffly, swallowing all the bitterness.

She couldn't possibly say that it was his sudden appearance that caused her backlash, could she

"How did you know I was here" Zhao Ruoqing winced in pain, forcing a smile onto her face. She glared at him, blaming him entirely. In her eyes, this was all Su Qingying's fault!

"Seeing that you weren't at home, I was truly worried about you, so I asked the house guards and chased after you all the way. Qing'er, am I not at the right time Did I interrupt something" Not missing the fleeting struggle in her eyes, Jun Liye couldn't help but frown.

For fear that he would feel guilty, Zhao Ruqing hurriedly shook her head and said softly, "No, it's not Brother Ye's fault. It was my own carelessness. Brother Ye needn't feel guilty."

"Cough cough... Jun Liye, you actually attacked me for this woman You're really something!" Shaking her head and standing up unsteadily, Su Qingying interrupted their tender moments without any courtesy. Her dark phoenix eyes shot daggers at Jun Liye, her gaze filled with pain and anger.

"You dare to lay a hand on Qing'er, I would kill you ten thousand times over!" Jun Liye turned his head and gave her a cold glance. His icy voice was extremely heartless and hurtful.

"Good! It couldn't be more fitting!" Tears welled up in her eyes, her hand clenched tightly into a fist, a piercing pain spreading wildly through her chest, hurting her to the point of breathlessness. "Jun Li Ye, I ask you, do you truly intend to protect that woman to the end Even if it means going against me"

"Those who harm Qing'er shall be killed without mercy!" It was still that cold and ruthless voice. Hearing this, Su Qingying only felt as if something in her heart shattered in an instant.

A crimson smile played upon her lips, a sudden flash of teeth that was both alluring and menacing. The blood-red hue seemed to accentuate the wicked gleam in her eyes as the smile stretched, revealing a chilling resolve, a heart as cold and unforgiving as ice.

"Well, very good! Jun Liye, I'll give you one last chance. That woman and I, who do you choose If you choose her, then from now on, we will be strangers, severing all ties! I, Su Qingying, will never bother you again!"et you off easily this time!” A sweep of his amber eyes, Xuan Yuan Luo Chen’s icy gaze sent shivers down their spines, forcing them to swallow the words they wanted to say in plea.Xuan Yuan Luo Chen...
