"Scoundrel!"
After hearing the sequence of events, Xiao Daodao was incensed, her voice filled with murderous intent: "The damn bitch! How dare she blaspheme Medicine King Valley and then have the audacity to deny it? I’ll go and slaughter her whole family!"
Shen Ye held Xiao Daodao back and said, "Daodao, killing them would be as easy as lifting a hand. It’s too simple and holds no meaning. I want them to die in the depths of despair and fear. That is the greatest punishment for them."
Xiao Daodao asked with a dark expression, "What do you want to do, then?"
Shen Ye’s face turned cold as he spoke: "Doesn't that bitch think she can do whatever she wants because she has the Chen family backing her? Then I will destroy the Chen family. I will make her understand the true meaning of fear and despair, breaking her both mentally and spiritually."
Xiao Daodao nodded, her eyes icy. "That’s a good plan. Killing them is nothing compared to destroying their hearts. Since you want to destroy them commercially, let Third Senior Sister handle it."
Xiao Daodao dialed the number of Third Senior Sister, Lan Xining. At that moment, Lan Xining was in the middle of an important strategic meeting with a group of senior executives. Seeing her secretary suddenly enter, her expression darkened and she snapped, "Who let you in? Haven't I told you never to disturb me while I'm in a meeting?"
The secretary whispered, "President Lan, it’s your private phone. The person on the line says it’s regarding Shen Ye."
Lan Xining’s fiery anger vanished instantly at the mention of Shen Ye’s name, her expression softening immediately. She waved the executives away, signaling them to leave, effectively cutting short the vital meeting. The group of executives was left wondering who this Shen Ye was, as he was able to make the notoriously strict and efficient President Lan break her own rules.
Lan Xining changed her demeanor, shifting from a cold, domineering CEO to a warm, gentle sister. She asked with a smile, "Fifth, did you see our Junior Brother? Has he met that girl, Zhong Xue? Is Zhong Xue’s affection for him still the same? I’m preparing a ten-billion-yuan wedding gift for him."
Xiao Daodao fell silent for a moment before saying, "Third Sister, something happened. Junior Brother was dumped by Zhong Xue. She found someone new and is already engaged."
Lan Xining’s smile vanished, her face turning dark and her eyes freezing like frost. Filled with rage, she demanded, "Fifth, what exactly is going on?"
Xiao Daodao quickly recounted the events. Lan Xining was consumed by a towering fury, her voice radiating murderous intent: "What a Zhong Xue! How dare she dump my Junior Brother and blaspheme Medicine King Valley? I will make her entire family pay with their lives! I’m heading to Ningjiang now; I will avenge Junior Brother myself!"
The disciples of Medicine King Valley were fiercely protective of their own; provoking one meant provoking a group of terrifying, powerful figures.
Shen Ye took the phone and comforted her: "Third Senior Sister, don't be angry. There's no need for you to come in person. You just need to coordinate with me."
Shen Ye outlined his plan to deal with the Chen family and the Zhong family. Lan Xining responded with bold dominance: "Junior Brother, no problem. Give me an hour, and I will destroy them completely!"
Xiao Daodao drove Shen Ye to a five-star hotel and booked a presidential suite. She urged him, "Shen Ye, hurry up and take a shower."
Shen Ye coughed lightly and asked with a grin, "Daodao, you’re rushing me to shower—don't tell me you’re harboring wicked intentions? A man and a woman alone in one room... you're making me quite nervous. If you try to force yourself on me, I won't submit!"
Xiao Daodao rolled her eyes at him and huffed, "That’s right, I’m going to eat you up today and show you what my skills are really like! Shen Ye, stop acting so innocent. What haven't you done to me back on the mountain? Do you need me to spell it out?"
Shen Ye laughed it off and hurried to the shower. Coming straight from the mountain to the Zhong family’s place, he really was quite unkempt.
After showering, Shen Ye emerged wrapped in a bath towel. Xiao Daodao glanced at him and teased, "Shen Ye, why are you wrapped up so tight? Afraid I’ll eat you? You have no secrets before me; which part of you haven't I seen? Don't forget, when you first came to the mountain as a little brat, it was me who bathed you."
Shen Ye coughed, offering a dry laugh: "Daodao, can’t you be a bit more reserved? I have my dignity, you know."
Xiao Daodao gave him a look of utter disdain and scoffed, "You stinky man, asking me to be reserved? You’re just a coward who dares to do things but won't own up to them. Do you need me to remind you of the details?"
Shen Ye: "..."
Xiao Daodao poured a glass of red wine for Shen Ye, sat beside him, and said casually, "Your love life isn't bad, is it? You just dumped Zhong Xue, and here comes Mu Qingyi throwing herself at you. Master was absolutely right—your Pure Yang Physique is just a magnet for women. My life is miserable; I work myself to the bone for you, and I don't even have a title or status."
Shen Ye pretended not to hear her. Xiao Daodao asked, "How do you plan to handle the situation with Mu Qingyi?"
Shen Ye rubbed his temples; he hadn't decided yet.
Xiao Daodao narrowed her eyes and said, "Mu Qingyi came to you on her own initiative and was so desperate to get a marriage license with you—she must have an agenda. I’ll have someone investigate her to see what she's hiding. If she dares to harm you, hmph!"
Shen Ye waved his hand: "Daodao, don't get involved in this. I'll handle it myself."
Xiao Daodao glanced at him and smiled, "Looks like you’re interested in Mu Qingyi. She’s not bad, actually—not only is she beautiful, but she’s also very protective. Mu Qingyi is ten thousand times better than Zhong Xue. If you really like her, I’ll support you two. Finding a woman who protects you is better than a woman who kicks you to the curb."
Xiao Daodao leaned against Shen Ye’s lap and said, "Shen Ye, give me a back massage. I drove two thousand miles in one go just to see you; I’m exhausted."
...
Mu Qingyi returned home and held a thin, frail girl in her arms, tears of joy in her eyes. "Little sister, I’ve found a way to save you. Don't be afraid; big sister will never let you die. I have more good news: the Zhong family and the Chen family are about to be finished. Father’s revenge can finally be avenged!"
...
After Shen Ye left, Zhong Xue pulled Chen Feiyu into her room. To keep a tight grip on Chen Feiyu and marry into a wealthy family, Zhong Xue used every trick in the book to please him.
Chen Feiyu lay on the bed with a cigarette in his mouth, while Zhong Xue clung to him like a cat.
"Hubby, that Shen Ye comes from Medicine King Valley. He won't actually pose a threat to us, will he?" Zhong Xue whispered flirtatiously in Chen Feiyu’s ear.
Chen Feiyu said with arrogant confidence, "What kind of bullshit 'Medicine King Valley'? In front of my Chen family, they’re nothing—I could crush them with one hand. Xiao Xue, you’re my woman. Don't be afraid; with me here, even the King of Heaven himself couldn't lay a finger on you."
Zhong Xue giggled, her eyes shimmering, and whispered something in Chen Feiyu’s ear. Chen Feiyu felt like a steel warrior restored to full health, a lewd grin spreading across his face.
Just as Chen Feiyu was about to make his move, a frantic knocking echoed at the door. Zhong Jian’s voice came through, sounding urgent: "Young Master Chen, your family’s steward is here. He says something terrible has happened and you need to get home right away!"
