Chapter 599: Third Young Master Apologizes, Soft Couple Moves into Xiangxi Manor
Xiao Guang saw Qin Ruan's indifferent and calm expression, and his face was full of unwillingness.
Qin Ruan's gaze was cold and unyielding as she faced the evil creature before her. She was used to being in a dominant position in front of evil creatures, and even a casual glance carried an inexplicable majesty.
Xiao Guang faced the suppressing pressure that made his soul unstable but gritted his teeth and said, "The evil creatures lurking in the darkness are getting restless. Sooner or later, the boundary between the Underworld and the human world will weaken, and the chaos between the Yin and Yang realms will be unimaginable."
Qin Ruan's lips slightly curved, and she chuckled softly, "What do you want to say?"
Xiao Guang didn't expect her to be indifferent; his breathing became heavy, and the resentment in his eyes overflowed.
The messenger beside him used the Soul-Locking Chains to pull Xiao Guang, silently urging him not to waste time.
"Be careful of the Yin Yang Sect."
This was Xiao Guang's last words to Qin Ruan before leaving.
The Yin Yang Sect?
A sect mainly focused on cultivating demonic energy, located far away in the southern seas.
Qin Ruan let out a faint laugh upon hearing this. As long as they didn't provoke her, she didn't have the time to go all the way to the southern seas to deal with them.
If they really wanted to disrupt the order of the mortal world, she would undoubtedly root them out and wipe them out.
Whether human or demon, her duty was to maintain the order of this land.
After dealing with Xiao Guang and Shao Qiao and absorbing a considerable amount of malevolent energy from Shao Qiao, Qin Ruan left the flower house in a cheerful mood.
She pushed open the door of the flower house and saw Lin Hao standing at the front door, along with Hou Yunjiao and two others.
Hou Yunjiao was wearing a heavy windbreaker, standing in the gentle breeze without knowing how long he had been there.
The delight in Qin Ruan's eyes dissipated, and her face instantly turned serious. "Why did you come out?"
She walked quickly to Hou Yunjiao's side and held his hand, leading him towards the small building.
"Ruan Ruan, walk slower, be careful of your stomach."
Hou Yunjiao was forced to walk quickly, his deep and gentle eyes fixed on Qin Ruan's belly, afraid that she might accidentally fall.
To stabilize Qin Ruan's hurried footsteps, he held her small hand tightly.
Qin Ruan couldn't focus on what he was saying.
Her only concern now was that Hou Yunjiao shouldn't go out and must stay in the room obediently.
As they walked, Qin Ruan slowed down her pace.
Her face was expressionless, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.
No, she couldn't watch Hou Yunjiao alone.
She needed Lin Hao, Hou Chuan, and Hou Qiang to watch over him together.
The image of the punishment hall surfaced in Qin Ruan's mind.
As long as she took over the punishment hall, the secret guards of the Hou family would obey her. The allure of this position was indeed great.
Qin Ruan couldn't help but feel tempted.
But this matter had its pros and cons.
Taking over the punishment hall wasn't impossible, but it required her to expend a considerable amount of effort.
The Hou family's punishment hall was involved with too many matters. It wasn't as simple as just receiving a physical object. She needed the recognition of everyone and enough means to suppress those people.
Hou Yunxiu approached Qin Ruan, hugging her into his arms. "What's wrong?"
Qin Ruan raised her eyes and looked at the beautiful and charming profile of the man beside her. The balance in her heart began to tilt slightly.
"It's nothing. I instructed them to pack their belongings, and we'll move to Xiangxi Manor together."
"Okay." Hou Yunjiao lips curved into a doting smile.
He embraced Qin Ruan and walked with steady steps towards the small building.
Just now, in the study on the upper floor, Hou Qiang had informed him about Qin Ruan's anger and her determination to accompany him to Xiangxi Manor.
He wouldn't refuse Qin Ruan; as long as it didn't hurt her, he couldn't refuse anything.
Hearing Hou Yunjiao's straightforward agreement, Qin Ruan looked doubtful. "You agreed so readily?"
The two of them had already entered the comfortable indoor environment of the small building.
Hou Yunjiao took off his coat and handed it to Hou Qiang, who was reaching out to take it.
He held Qin Ruan's small hand and smiled gently with a slightly ambiguous tone, "If I didn't agree, you would run away from home. How could I not go along with you?"
"..."
Qin Ruan's delicate face instantly turned red.
She remembered what she had said to Hou Yunjiao before in the room, as well as the embarrassing incident that had happened later.
Could it be that he was awake at that time and heard what she said?
Qin Ruan shook off Hou Yunjiao's hand and quickly walked upstairs.
Seeing this, Hou Yunjiao hurriedly caught up, grabbing her wrist. "Why are you running?"
His voice was gentle like water, but his actions were filled with dominance and coercion.
Qin Ruan thought to herself that this girl might really leave.
However, when she saw the embarrassed expression on Hou Yunjiao face just now, she realized what was going on.
Qin Ruan covered her ear and felt that it was a little hot.
She remembered what she had said to Hou Yunjiao in the room, and the awkward situation that followed.
Could it be that he was awake at that time and heard what she said?
Qin Ruan shook off Hou Yunjiao's hand and quickly walked upstairs.
Seeing this, Hou Yunjiao hurriedly caught up and held her wrist. "Why are you running?"
His voice was gentle and hoarse, and it carried a hint of petting.
...
Xiangxi Manor.
That night, Qin Ruan and Hou Yunjiao moved here.
Hou Yunjiao's body needed several months of adjustment, so Qin Ruan had already planned to stay here for the long term.
Now, she had to prioritize the child in her belly and allocate enough malevolent energy to the children.
As long as she persisted for a few more months, after the children were born, all the malevolent energy she had absorbed could be transformed into dark power to heal Hou Yunjiao's body.
The aura of Xiangxi Manor was indeed very comfortable, with a faint spiritual energy that made breathing feel refreshing.
Qin Ruan quite liked it here.
Compared to the grand and imposing Hou family, it wasn't inferior in the slightest.
Accompanying them were Hou Qiang, Hou Chuan, Lin Hao, and Hou Zhi, whose condition had improved.
Due to the presence of the two masters, Xiangxi Manor had increased the number of secret guards protecting it.
As Qin Ruan and Lin Hao familiarized themselves with Xiangxi Manor, Hou Yunjiao and Hou Qiang were in the study on the upper floor, discussing matters related to Qin Ruan.
Hou Qiang placed a stack of documents on the exquisitely carved wooden desk.
He took two steps back respectfully and reported, "Third Young Master, these are all the members detained in the Punishment Hall. The names suitable for Madam's practice are marked with a red circle."
Hou Yunjiao's fair and slender fingertips lightly traced over these names.
He lingered for a while on the names marked with red circles.
His seemingly cold facial features appeared somewhat impatient, as if he was hesitating about something.
The hesitation lasted only a moment before dissipating.
Hou Yunjiao went through all the names on the list, with each person's wrongdoings recorded clearly in the information.
Some were minor offenses, while others would never be able to leave the Punishment Hall.
They were no longer able to atone for their sins with death.
