The Villain: Claiming The Protagonist's Master

Su Chen's body was on fire, as though a thousand ants were gnawing at his insides. The sensation coursing through him was maddening.

'Damn it!'

The truth was painfully clear—this woman had indeed poisoned him.

"Fine!"

After a moment of hesitation, Su Chen gritted his teeth and gave in. With no strength to escape and no other options, he could only gamble on her words. Besides, he wasn't the so-called Child of Destiny. The dual cultivation she spoke of likely wouldn't have any lasting impact on him.

———

Hearing his agreement, Mu Yuqing's eyes sparkled with glee, her smile dazzlingly bright. She let out a silvery laugh, her voice brimming with seduction.

"Good boy! Don't worry, I'll show you pleasures you can't even imagine."

Her rosy lips moved closer, her breath warm and intoxicating.

"Ah!"

Mu Yuqing was a master of allure, her teasing calculated and deliberate. In that instant, Su Chen's mind blanked, leaving him unable to think clearly.

As her provocative actions continued, Su Chen's body betrayed him. His temperature spiked, and his blood felt like molten lava rushing through his veins. A primal need surged within him, one he couldn't suppress any longer.

"I can't… hold it…"

With a low growl, Su Chen extended his arms and pulled Mu Yuqing into his embrace.

Instead of resisting, Mu Yuqing's cheeks flushed with a rare shyness, her long lashes fluttering nervously. It was her first time so intimately close to a man.

"Love me, little rogue," she whispered, her voice soft and trembling with anticipation.

Caught in the moment, Su Chen reached out and removed the veil covering her face.

For a moment, time seemed to freeze.

Mu Yuqing's breathtaking beauty was revealed, her features so flawless they could topple kingdoms. Her skin was like jade, and her large, glistening eyes sparkled with an otherworldly charm. Even Su Chen, who thought himself immune to such things, was stunned into silence.

"You…"

His breath quickened, his gaze fixated on her as though she were an immortal goddess descended from the heavens.

Noticing his burning stare, Mu Yuqing smirked faintly and huffed softly. "Little rogue, like what you are looking?"

"Gulp…"

Su Chen swallowed hard, his throat suddenly dry. He shook his head quickly, as though to clear his thoughts.

"I… I didn't expect you to be so beautiful, Big Sister."

Hearing his compliment, Mu Yuqing's smile deepened. "Enough with the flattery, little rogue. Let's get started already."

Her straightforwardness left Su Chen momentarily speechless.

"Tch. Just wait. I'll make you beg for mercy," he muttered under his breath.

Taking a deep breath to calm his raging heart, Su Chen tentatively raised a trembling hand, reaching for her…

[Su Family Estate, Assembly Hall]

"Su Yueyu, do you realize the severity of your actions?"

In the grand hall, Qin Xinran's frosty gaze bore into the kneeling figure of Su Yueyu. Her voice was sharp, each word laced with suppressed fury.

The oppressive air around Qin Xinran was suffocating, her phoenix-like eyes gleaming with a cold, merciless light. Her son had been abducted, his whereabouts unknown. As the mistress of the Su Family, it now fell to her to maintain order.

And the person before her, her sister-in-law Su Yueyu, was at the center of it all.

"Speak!" Qin Xinran barked, her tone unyielding. "Who were your accomplices? Who dared to conspire against my son?"

"Sister-in-law, what crime have I committed?"

Despite the towering pressure, Su Yueyu lifted her head high, her expression fearless. "I don't understand what you're accusing me of."

In truth, Su Yueyu had only approached Su Chen that day to dissuade him from suppressing Su Yong further. But she hadn't anticipated the sudden appearance of a Peak Quasi-Emperor expert, who had abducted Su Chen right before her eyes.

"Impudent!"

Qin Xinran's icy glare grew sharper, and her voice thundered through the hall. "How dare you deny it? If not for your scheming, would my son have been taken? Today, I will uphold justice for the Su Family."

She rose from her seat, her figure flickering as she appeared beside Su Yueyu in the blink of an eye.

SLAP!

The crisp sound echoed through the hall as Qin Xinran's palm landed on Su Yueyu's cheek. A fiery red imprint appeared on her delicate face, yet Su Yueyu remained defiant, her lips curling into a mocking smile.

"Heh. Hit me if you want, but don't think I'll bend to your will. You're not even a true member of the Su Family. You have no right to lecture me."

"Is that so?"

A chilling smirk appeared on Qin Xinran's lips. She reached into her robes and retrieved a jade token.

The sight of it made Su Yueyu's blood run cold.

The Su Family's Patriarch Token—symbol of absolute authority.

"This token speaks for the head of the Su Family," Qin Xinran declared, her tone as unyielding as steel. "Now tell me—do I have the right to deal with you?"

Su Yueyu's defiance faltered. Her face turned ashen, her lips trembling as she realized Qin Xinran had come fully prepared.

"Su Yueyu," Qin Xinran continued coldly, "this is your last chance. Who were you working with? Was it Su Jian's old supporters? Are they planning to seize control of the Su Family while the patriarch is away?"

"You're slandering me!" Su Yueyu's voice was sharp with outrage. "You have no proof! You're just trying to get rid of me!"

SLAP!

Another resounding slap landed on her other cheek. Qin Xinran's patience had run out.

"Take her away!" she ordered, her voice ringing with authority.

Two guards stepped forward immediately, gripping Su Yueyu's arms tightly.

Struggling fiercely, Su Yueyu screamed, "Qin Xinran, you can't do this! When my brother returns, he'll make you pay!"

"Your brother?" Qin Xinran sneered. "Do you think he values you more than his son? Let me assure you—no one touches my child and gets away with it."

She turned to a shadowy figure lurking at the edge of the hall. "Dark Ji, take her to the training grounds. Let the sun's flames do their work. She'll confess soon enough."

"Yes, Madam," the shadowy figure responded respectfully.

Dark Ji was a renowned assassin from the Heavenly Profound Continent and Qin Xinran's personal bodyguard. Without hesitation, she grabbed the struggling Su Yueyu and dragged her out of the hall.

Watching this scene, the other members of the Su Family exchanged uneasy glances, their faces pale.

For years, they had underestimated Qin Xinran's resolve.

"Perhaps… the Su Family's peaceful days are over," someone murmured.
