Rebirth of the Innkeeper's Wife: She's Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 116 Fallen Domain?

Xu Yan seized the opportunity and thrust her sword at the woman.

The woman was unable to dodge in time and was stabbed in the shoulder blade.

Wen Xingyu lashed out with her long whip, which wrapped around the woman's legs. With a forceful pull, the woman fell to the ground.

Huan Yuechu and the others tied up the woman, intending to hand her over to the authorities.

Xiao Bao clung tightly to Huan Yuechu's clothes, her body still trembling slightly.

Huan Yuechu gently patted his back to comfort him.

"Sister, I'm scared," Xiao Bao whispered.

"Xiao Bao, be good. The bad guy has been caught. No one will hurt you anymore," Huan Yuechu said gently.

Just as they were about to leave the woods with the woman, a melodious flute sound suddenly rang out from all around them.

Accompanied by the sound of a flute, a group of people dressed in strange costumes appeared.

The man in the lead had deep-set eyes and a cold, stern face.

"We're taking this woman with us," the man said coldly.

Huan Yuechu asked warily, "Who are you? Why are you taking her away?"

The man glanced at Huan Yuechu and slowly said, "We come from a reclusive sect. This woman was a traitor who had been committing evil deeds. We have been searching for her. Thank you for subduing her."

"Before you take her away, I have a question I'd like to ask her."

The male protagonist nodded slightly in agreement.

Immediately afterwards, Huan Yuechu strode up to the woman, her eyes blazing, and questioned her sternly.

"Speak! Who exactly ordered you to kidnap Xiaobao?"

The woman raised a cold smile and glanced contemptuously at Huan Yuechu.

He actually made a sealing motion with his own lips, seemingly not taking the person in front of him seriously at all.

Upon seeing this, Huan Yue snorted coldly, slowly squatted down, and suddenly stretched out her right hand, gripping the other person's chin tightly, saying through gritted teeth.

"Hmph! What? Even now, you still dare to be so stubborn?"

The woman struggled desperately to break free of her restraints, but Huan Yuechu was too strong and easily suppressed her, rendering her unable to move.

Then, Huan Yuechu leaned close to the other person's ear and threatened in a low voice.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I must say, you have a pretty face. But if I were to ruin it on a whim, I wonder what a terrible sight it would look like?"

"Furthermore, in my opinion, you are now of no use whatsoever. So, if I wanted, I could make you disappear from this world at any time. As for whether he would agree... you might as well guess."

Upon hearing these words, the woman's face turned deathly pale, and her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Finally, unable to bear the immense psychological pressure any longer, she cried out, "Okay, I'll talk, I'll talk!"

Seeing that the other party had already given in, Huan Yuechu finally let go of her hand.

However, at that moment, something unexpected happened—just as the woman was about to reveal the mastermind's name, she only managed to say, "It's Luo Yu..."

After those three short words, it was as if an invisible hand had grabbed his throat, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't utter another word.

Huan Yuechu frowned. Luoyu? She had never heard of this place.

A man from a reclusive sect stepped forward. "It seems the forces behind her don't want her to reveal too much, so they've placed a restriction on her. But don't worry, our reclusive sect will investigate this matter."

Although Huan Yuechu was filled with resentment, she knew she had no choice in the face of the situation and could only slowly nod in agreement.

After the group led the mysterious woman away until she disappeared from sight,

Huan Yuechu turned around, her gaze fixed intently on Xiao Bao.

She frowned slightly, feigning annoyance, and began to reprimand.

"Xiao Bao, Xiao Bao, how could you be so reckless as to rush into that formation all by yourself? Don't you know how dangerous that is?"

Hearing her sister's scolding, Xiao Bao gently shook her head. Her once bright eyes were now slightly red, and her eyes were filled with tears.

He said with some grievance, "I'm sorry, sister... I really didn't mean to. In that instant, I suddenly saw my mother, so I rushed over on impulse."

Huan Yuechu listened to Xiao Bao's explanation and pondered to herself.

Judging from the looks of it, the woman just now must have used some kind of powerful seductive magic.

Even mature adults find it hard to resist its temptations, let alone a young and naive child like Xiaobao.

Thinking of this, Huan Yuechu suddenly became more curious about the people behind the scenes. What exactly were they planning to do? And what important role did Xiao Bao play in this process?

Seeing Xiao Bao's pitiful appearance, on the verge of tears, Wen Xing quickly stepped forward, gently embraced him, and softly comforted him.

"Xiaobao, be good. We all know you miss your mother very much and want to find her. But if you were to be kidnapped by those bad people, we would all be extremely worried about your safety."

Xiao Bao nodded obediently, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her little hands, and said in a choked voice.

"Don't worry, sisters, Xiao Bao will definitely behave next time and won't run around like that again. Please don't be angry with me anymore, okay?"

Looking at the innocent, cute, and sensible little guy in front of her, Huan Yuechu's anger instantly vanished, replaced by a warm smile.

After a while, she reached out and gently touched Xiaobao's head, speaking softly.

"Okay, okay, I won't blame you anymore. But you must remember this lesson in the future."

And so, after this minor incident, the three of them and Xiao Bao once again embarked on a long and unknown journey together.

Throughout the journey, Huan Yuechu always felt as if a pair of eyes were watching them from the shadows.

That night, they rested in a dilapidated temple.

Huan Yue woke up in the middle of the night with a start, keenly sensing that danger was approaching.

She woke up Xu Yan and Wen Xingyu, and just as they got into a defensive stance, a group of dark figures rushed into the temple.

Huan Yuechu looked closely and saw that they were a group of mysterious people wearing masks.

The mysterious leader said ominously, "You know too much. Today is your death day."

Huan Yuechu didn't back down at all. "Hmph, then let's see whose death is coming."

As soon as Huan Yuechu finished speaking, she flashed forward like a ghost, her hand suddenly bursting with spiritual light, like a brilliant star streaking across the night sky, and blasted straight towards the mysterious leader.

This strike contained powerful spiritual energy, and the air seemed to be torn apart wherever it passed.

At the same time, Xu Yan and Wen Xingyu were equally determined.

Xu Yan moved with the agility of a swallow, rushing in from the left, her long sword gleaming with a cold light, her swordplay fierce and incomparably sharp.

Wen Xingyu, like a cheetah, swiftly approached from the right, her whip ruthless and merciless, aimed directly at the enemy's vitals.

However, the strength of this group of mysterious people is truly astonishing.
