Chapter 163

In the following days, the Earth Demon was in “seclusion”, and Yang Kai was refining the medicinal power of that half-basket of natural treasures.

Anyway, they were all non-toxic, and his Proud Bones Golden Body could also absorb all kinds of energies like a sea taking in all rivers. He wasn’t worried that these different energies would conflict after being absorbed.

It took a full dozen days, and the natural treasures worth millions of taels of silver were eaten clean by Yang Kai.

Naturally, with effort came reward. His own strength smoothly advanced from the third level of Qi Movement to the fourth level.

He had only been on this Yunxia Island for about two months and had already advanced successively. This trip really hadn’t been in vain.

The natural treasures on the right peninsula had been almost completely collected and were on the verge of extinction. The source of evil here had also been devoured by the Earth Demon. Yang Kai estimated that in a few more days, this right peninsula would no longer be like before and become a forbidden area for the warriors of Yunxia.

It was time to leave！

Yang Kai went down the mountain and walked all the way towards the sea.

To leave Yunxia Island, the only way out was by boat, which was also a headache for Yang Kai. Building a boat by himself was definitely not reliable. The only way he could think of now was to snatch a boat from Yunxia Sect.

But how to snatch it and how to get rid of them after snatching it were the biggest problems.

Just as he was considering some details, Yang Kai suddenly heard some rustling noises coming from not far away. Listening carefully, he could also hear a person’s extremely heavy panting sound, and in addition, there was a woman’s plea for mercy of resisting and struggling.

Yang Kai’s face darkened, and he quickly rushed over there.

When he arrived at the place and took a look, as he had guessed, the Yunxia Sect had once again sent those ordinary people who were captured to the right peninsula to pick the Black Mysterious Fruits.

But not far in front of his eyes, there was a burly and strong man riding on top of a woman, constantly tearing at her clothes with both hands, panting like a cow, and making hoarse lecherous laughter from his mouth.

The woman was pressed beneath him, struggling continuously, but could never break free. She kept pleading for mercy and crying non-stop.

Yang Kai could sense some evil qi from that big man！

With a flash of his figure, he rushed over and kicked at the big man’s kidney with one foot, sending him flying. The woman got rid of the big man’s entanglement and quickly climbed up from the ground, grabbing her messy clothes and hiding behind Yang Kai shiveringly.

The big man let out a miserable cry in mid-air, and after landing, he quickly stood up again and looked at Yang Kai with a fierce gaze.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his face was full of hostility. Obviously, he was about to be devoured by the demonic qi that entered his body and lose his mind. He stared at Yang Kai fiercely, with hot air spurting out from his nostrils.

“Ai！” Yang Kai sighed. This big man should have been a poor person, but he repeatedly entered and exited the right peninsula of Yunxia. At this moment, he had lost his nature. It was also because of this that Yang Kai didn’t use a killing move just now and only kicked him away.

“Stinky brat, get out of the way！” There was a hint of pain hidden between the brows of that big man, but since Yang Kai had spoiled his good deed, how could he be willing to let it go easily？

Yang Kai looked at him indifferently. After a long while, the big man finally let out a roar and charged towards Yang Kai like a crazy bull, with a fierce expression on his face.

“It’s better to be relieved earlier.” Yang Kai stood where he was. When the big man rushed in front of him, he only stretched out one finger and pointed at his chest.

The True Yang Yuan Qi poured in and instantly stopped his heart. Without feeling any pain, this big man fell to the ground, his vitality cut off.

There was the woman’s crying coming from behind. Yang Kai felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart. He turned around and was just about to comfort her, but when his eyes swept over the woman’s face, he couldn’t help but be shocked on the spot. His eyeballs trembled, and there was an expression of disbelief on his face.

This woman was a married woman around thirty years old. Originally, she should have been dignified and beautiful, which could be inferred from her fair and tender skin. But at this moment, on the woman’s face, there were crisscrossing hideous and terrifying scars. Each of these scars was about one finger long, and each one ran across from the left side of the face to the right side of the face. The light red flesh was rolled outwards. Although the wound had healed, the scars were forever left on this beautiful face, completely ruining it.

The woman also knew that her current appearance was too terrifying. She covered her torn collar with one hand and covered her face with the other hand, trembling all over and crying and thanking continuously.

While thanking, she timidly stepped back, as if she was afraid of scaring Yang Kai.

Yang Kai’s whole body was icy cold, and his expression was stern. He stretched out a hand and firmly grasped the woman’s wrist.

“No… don’t…” The woman struggled. She thought that she had just escaped from the tiger’s mouth and then entered the wolf’s den. Her head was lowered, and the messy black hair covered her face. Tears dripped down one by one, and she pleaded in her mouth.

Yang Kai remained unmoved. He stretched out the other hand and slowly reached to the woman’s chin, raising her head.

“Please, don’t…” The woman’s tears had wet her cheeks, and she looked up at Yang Kai feebly. The scars on her face appeared even more hideous and terrifying.

There was no lust in Yang Kai’s eyes, only heartache and hesitation. The hand that raised her chin trembled slightly as it brushed aside the black hair that covered her face, allowing her features to be clearly presented before him.

The woman closed her eyes, whether it was because she was self-conscious that her appearance had been seen clearly or because Yang Kai’s actions had frightened her, and the tears kept flowing.

Yang Kai’s pupils contracted, and after looking carefully for a long while, he lost his voice and said, “Madam?

Hearing this long-unheard address, the woman slowly opened her eyes. A hint of suspicion flickered in her tear-filled eyes. Looking at Yang Kai more carefully, that hint of suspicion gradually disappeared and was replaced by surprise and joy.

“You’re really Madam?” Yang Kai couldn’t believe it. When he saw this woman for the first time, he felt that she looked somewhat familiar, so he had made that seemingly rash move just now. But now he was certain that this woman was the one he had seen before.

The woman finally recognized Yang Kai’s voice as well. The image of a filthy face from over two months ago flashed in her mind, and she trembled and said, “You… you’re that little beggar？”

Yang Kai took a deep breath. After the woman said the words ‘little beggar’, he knew that he hadn’t seen it wrong.

This woman was actually the widow of the Jiang family！

Apart from Cuier, the only ones who knew he was a little beggar were the lady in front of him and the young miss of the Jiang family.

How did you end up here? Your face…” Yang Kai had too many doubts. Wasn’t Cuier and the others supposed to have taken refuge with the Miao family in Haicheng? On the day they parted ways, Miao Huacheng had personally come to welcome them. The two families still had a marriage contract, and the young miss of the Jiang family should have already married into the Miao family. The lady in front of him should also be enjoying a comfortable life in the Miao family.nHow… how did things develop like this?”

How… how did things develop like this？

Young hero…” After learning that Yang Kai was the little beggar who had once saved her, the lady actually knelt down on the ground with a thud, knocking her head on the ground and making a dong dong sound. She said in great grief, “Please, young hero, uphold justice for my Jiang family！

Yang Kai was quick-witted and quickly helped her up. Even so, a bloodstain had already appeared on the lady’s forehead, showing how hard she had hit.

This is not a place to talk. Let’s leave here first.” Yang Kai supported her and walked hurriedly along the way he had come.”

Why did the lady end up like this? Why was she captured and brought to Yunxia Island? Where were Cuier and the young miss? What had happened to the Miao family in Haicheng? He had too many doubts.

Although these matters had little to do with him, after all, he had lived with the widows of the Jiang family for a few days at that time. He had also had a very pleasant conversation with Cuier. This maid would also share some snacks with him and was even more lively and charming. Good people should be rewarded with good fortune.

After leading the lady in a hurry for a long time, the two of them finally came to a small hill nearby. This place was already considered the deep part of the right peninsula of Yunxia Island, and ordinary people simply couldn’t reach here.

The lady, who had originally been desperate miraculously ran into Yang Kai again. In her excitement, she kept choking up.

Yang Kai didn’t’t comfort her nor did he interrupt her. He just quietly waited. He knew that not only did he have many questions, but the lady must also have a lot of things to tell him.

After a full half an hour, the lady gradually stopped choking up. Her hair still covered her terrifying face, and she was shivering with her arms hugging her body.

Yang Kai took off his outer clothes and put them on her.

“Thank you!” Even though she was in prison, the lady still showed good upbringing.

“Speak, what exactly happened？”

The lady’s eyes showed a look of memory, and her voice was low as she recounted what had happened to the three of them, the mistress and servants, after parting ways with Yang Kai.

“I, along with Huan’er and Cuier, followed Miao Huacheng to the Miao family. In the first few days, Miao Huacheng treated us fairly well. But when I talked to him about Huan’er’s marriage, he always evaded the topic and made excuses. I had some doubts, but I didn’t take it to heart. After a few more days, when I brought up this matter again, he readily agreed, but said that his son was of noble status and my Huan’er was not worthy of him. She could marry into the Miao family, but only as a concubine. I was very angry at that time, but I didn’t show it.”

“The next day, I told Huan’er and Cuier to pack their things and wanted to leave the Miao family. We were orphans and widows, traveling all the way to Haicheng, going through all kinds of hardships, not to be a concubine for the Miao family. Moreover, this was the marriage that the master had arranged with Miao Huacheng before his death. How could he break his promise and go back on his word？”

“However, before we could even walk out of the Miao family, Miao Huacheng turned his face and imprisoned the three of us, the mistress and servants.” Speaking of this, a look of fear crossed the lady’s face. Obviously, the sudden change at that time scared her badly.”

With a choking voice and a miserable expression, she said, “I naturally don’t know why Miao Huacheng has become like this. After some inquiries, I finally found out that it was all instigated by him. Your master’s death was also because he bribed those people in Tongzhou to kill your master, and then sent a letter to me, asking me to bring Huan’er to Haicheng to get married. It’s ridiculous that I had no idea at all and led Huan ‘er into a lair of wolves and tigers.

Why did he do this? Isn’t it your master and Miao Huacheng best friends? Yang Kai felt vaguely that things were not so simple. That day when he parted with Madam and the others Yang Kai also met Miao Huacheng. His grief-stricken tone and expression at that time didn’t seem to be faked.
