Chen Qing gazed at the island's blazing sea of fire ahead, and her heart instantly wavered.
Although she held a trump card in her hand, it wasn't enough to contend with the island's sea of fire.
Under Lei Hao's orders, Chen Qing was supposed to go on the island and kill Lin Chen. With her abilities, she initially had some confidence in dealing with Lin Chen.
However, at this moment, faced with the sea of fire ahead, she instantly lost her confidence. It's a joke; if she recklessly charged onto the island, she'd probably perish in the sea of fire before even dealing with Lin Chen.
Immediately, Chen Qing took a deep glance in Lin Chen's direction and then turned to retreat.
Soon, Chen Qing returned to where Lei Hao was.
"Chen Qing, have you already killed that bastard Lin Chen? Did you bring back his corpse? Quickly, let me take it out and whip it good." Seeing Chen Qing return so quickly, Lei Hao slowly got up from the ground he was leaning on, appearing not yet fully healed.
A while ago, Chen Qing had helped him escape here, where he recuperated and then ordered Chen Qing to kill Lin Chen.
"I didn't kill him." Chen Qing looked at Lei Hao and shook her head, speaking in a cold tone.
Since the last incident at the Flying Crane Sect where Lei Hao violated her, she had harbored extreme hatred towards him. What's most despairing was that after Lei Haotian emerged, she reported the matter, but Lei Haotian not only didn't stand up for her but instead handed her over to Lei Hao as if she were an object.
Once, Chen Qing had immense respect for Lei Haotian, treating him like a father. However, after this incident, she saw the true nature of the Lei family father and son; to Lei Haotian, she was merely a pawn that could be traded at any time.
At the time, to repay Lei Haotian's nurturing grace and seemingly out of desperation, Chen Qing had no choice but to sign a blood master-servant contract with Lei Hao, becoming his maid.
But now, Chen Qing could no longer suppress her emotions.
"Didn't kill that kid? Then why did you come back? Quickly go and slay that kid; I must see that bastard's corpse today," Lei Hao shouted angrily at Chen Qing, seeing her so unresponsive to orders.
He was full of anger towards Lin Chen, who he had decided to kill whenever they crossed paths in these ruins.
Hearing Lei Hao's words, Chen Qing remained indifferent, only looking at Lei Hao with a cold gaze.
Lei Hao ordered her to take Lin Chen's life at this moment. Having witnessed Lin Chen's explosive flame techniques, Chen Qing knew she couldn't kill him. Rushing onto the island to confront Lin Chen would be equivalent to seeking death.
"What? You wretched woman, how dare you glare at me? Are you tired of living? You dare to disobey my orders; now go kill that bastard at once." Lei Hao grew increasingly furious as Chen Qing did not obey his command, pointing at her and shouting even louder.
As for Chen Qing, his father gifted her to him and signed a blood contract making her his servant, which excited Lei Hao immensely. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel{f}ire.net
After entering these ruins, Lei Hao discovered Chen Qing's strength exceeded his expectations, not much weaker than Tan Yu, the Tan family's Heavenly Pride.
In the ruins, Chen Qing displayed powerful strength, astonishing everyone. As her master, having such a strong maid made Lei Hao feel very proud and gave him face in front of others.
"Lei Hao, you'd better shut your mouth and be quiet; otherwise, I don't know if the sword in my hand might chop off your head," Chen Qing said coldly, with killing intent flowing in her eyes as she listened to Lei Hao's roars.
"How presumptuous, are you trying to rebel? How dare you speak to me like that? Believe it or not, I'll deal with you right now," Lei Hao shouted, angry beyond belief that Chen Qing dared to tell him to shut up and even threatened him.
However, after Lei Hao's furious shout at Chen Qing, he suddenly met her cold and murderous gaze, causing his heart to panic.
He knew that if he didn't understand Chen Qing's true strength, he might not believe she could kill him. But knowing her true strength, Lei Hao felt it would be easy for Chen Qing to kill him.
"You... what do you want? Don't forget, we signed a blood contract; if I die, you won't live either," Lei Hao said hurriedly, feeling chaotic inside but remembering the blood contract with Chen Qing.
"If you really want to die, feel free to keep talking," Chen Qing said coldly as she looked at Lei Hao.
Upon hearing this, Lei Hao, seeing Chen Qing's cold expression, immediately shut his mouth.
He had no doubt that if he continued, Chen Qing would disregard her life and kill him first.
Thinking of how Chen Qing dared to treat him , Lei Hao clenched his fists, secretly planning to have his father properly punish this vile woman after they left the Secret Realm, to let her understand what being a servant means.
What Lei Hao thought, Chen Qing had no interest in. She now stood under a big tree on the stone slab ground, looking at the hazy white fog swamp ahead, heartbroken and bewildered about her life direction...
After driving Tan Yu away, Lin Chen immediately flew down from the sky into the island's mountain range, beginning to collect the green crystal stones blasted out by the Flame Explosion Talisman earlier.
It's worth noting that the recent explosion had blasted out quite a few large chunks of green crystal stone, much to Lin Chen's delight. The only regret was that Tan Yu, while fleeing, had also taken some away.
"Lin Chen, not bad, this method is good, directly using Flame Explosion Talismans to blast out these green crystal stones saves time and effort. Just take out more Flame Explosion Talismans and keep blasting!" Little Profound Turtle said immediately upon seeing Lin Chen collecting the green crystal stones.
Mining green crystal stones is a tough task. Although Little Profound Turtle had a strong physique, who would want to do such hard labor?
"Little Profound Turtle, are you stupid? Do you think those Flame Explosion Talismans don't cost money and are as cheap as cabbage? Taking them out to keep blasting, just think about it; to mine out this entire vein would take so many Flame Explosion Talismans. Each Talisman Inscription costs a hundred thousand Low-grade Spirit Crystals,"
