Chapter 278: Su Yan Rescues People

Gan Hua finally understood why his mouth had been gagged; it was because even if he wanted to commit suicide, he couldn't.

Even more terrifying was the sound of high heels clicking against the floor coming from outside.

It was Liu Yiyi!

This realization caused a layer of goosebumps to instantly erupt all over Gan Hua's body.

Before he could react, the door opened.

Liu Yiyi walked in, dressed in a red nightgown.

With her movements, the fragrance in the room grew even more intense.

Seeing Gan Hua standing right at the doorway, she showed no surprise whatsoever.

"Hehe, trying to escape? It's useless. Once you enter my territory, don't even dream of flying out, not even as a fly."

Listening to that syrupy, soft voice, Gan Hua felt a sense of extreme loathing in his heart, yet his body was completely out of his control.

Liu Yiyi's ice-cold fingers grazed Gan Hua's cheek and neck, causing him to shudder repeatedly.

"As long as you behave and listen, I'll be gentler with you."

"Ugh... ugh ugh ugh..." Gan Hua roared through gritted teeth.

The more he resisted, the more excited the expression on Liu Yiyi's face became.

An Exorcist... she hadn't experienced this in a long time.

Thinking of this, she simply reached out and tore the black cloth off Gan Hua's eyes.

This would be much more interesting.

If looks could kill, Liu Yiyi would have been torn into ten thousand pieces by Gan Hua at this very moment.

Looking at the man's ferocious gaze, Liu Yiyi giggled.

"Am I very beautiful? There's even something more beautiful coming later."

After saying this, her red lips pressed directly against his neck.

Gan Hua was being driven to the brink of madness, his eyes turning blood-red.

Suddenly, there was a sharp sting, and blood slid down the corner of Liu Yiyi's lips.

Gan Hua wanted to resist, but at this moment, besides the pain, there was actually an inexplicable sense of pleasure.

He could clearly feel Liu Yiyi gnawing at his flesh like a zombie. He could feel the blood rapidly draining from his body, yet another indescribable euphoria was slowly rising from the depths of his heart.

Reason told him he had to do something, otherwise he would soon be sucked dry like a mummy, but his uncontrolled body continued to sink into the sensation.

Liu Yiyi also seemed to be enjoying herself immensely, especially at the moment when Gan Hua's blood entered her body and the spiritual power within her began to grow wildly; it caused her to lose all reason.

She had originally intended to leave him with his life, but now she had changed her mind. Such delicious "food" should be consumed entirely until not a single scrap remained!

Both the completely immersed Liu Yiyi and the Gan Hua, whose mind had been disturbed by the fragrance, failed to notice the wisp of soul floating not far away.

Using the Soul Departure Technique, Su Yan watched this scene in the room with a frowned expression.

Watching the blood and spiritual power continuously flowing out of Gan Hua's body, she finally understood what Liu Yiyi was doing.

She could actually take someone else's spiritual power for her own use?!

She immediately thought of the Feng family; it seemed that aside from the difference in how they seized it, the essence of the two was exactly the same.

However, the people Liu Yiyi had captured previously should have been ordinary people. Ordinary people have no spiritual power, so all she would need from them was their blood.

The fragrance permeating the air must also be some kind of special item capable of making the blood boil.

As for why Liu Yiyi needed the blood of so many people, Su Yan had not yet reached a conclusion, but looking at Gan Hua's increasingly pale face, she knew that if Liu Yiyi didn't stop, Gan Hua would die from excessive blood loss.

But Liu Yiyi clearly had no intention of letting Gan Hua walk out alive and showed no sign of stopping.

Gan Hua felt waves of dizziness; he knew he was about to die.

It was somewhat pathetic; he had thought that at the very least, he could take this woman down with him.

But it seemed nothing was within their expectations or control.

His legs gradually lost the strength to support his body. Just as he was about to collapse, a sharp gust of air suddenly struck the back of Liu Yiyi's neck from above.

Liu Yiyi could never have imagined that something would happen in her own territory, within her own barrier, so she didn't even know what had occurred. After a burst of intense pain, she completely lost consciousness.

Gan Hua watched helplessly as she collapsed unconscious, while he himself was drifting on the edge of losing consciousness.

However, he managed to endure and not pass out. Amidst his heavy gasps, he realized there was a floating soul above him.

He couldn't quite see the other party's features clearly, but even though it was just a rough outline, it gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"Did... you save me?"

Although it was a question, there were only the two of them here; there could be no one else besides her.

"Are you a human or a ghost?"

This was his second question.

"You should talk less and think about how to save your own skin," Su Yan reminded him.

Although he had escaped death this time, looking at Liu Yiyi's state just now, she likely wouldn't let them go easily.

Gan Hua gave a bitter laugh. "You saw everything just now, right? I... I have no strength..."

If this soul could save him...

Su Yan naturally knew that having lost so much blood and not yet falling unconscious was already considered quite formidable.

"Take care of yourself."

After dropping that sentence, Su Yan's soul vanished without a trace.

Although the Soul Departure Technique caused her no harm, she was unwilling to let her soul leave her body for too long.

Now that the person was saved, she didn't want to linger for even a second longer.

The sliver of hope that had risen in Gan Hua's heart turned to bubbles as Su Yan departed.

Collapsing on the ground, looking at the unconscious Liu Yiyi beside him, this was definitely a perfect opportunity, but he currently didn't even have the strength to move a finger, let alone break free from his ropes to kill Liu Yiyi.

His mind was still in chaos, attempting to deduce who that soul that had just saved him actually was.

Why was the other party able to find this place, yet disappeared immediately after saving him?

But no matter how much he thought, he was destined not to get the answer he wanted.

***

The Cell.

Su Yan slowly opened her eyes, moved her limbs slightly, and felt the sense of control as her soul returned to her body.

On the other side, Kong Yueling seemed to have cried herself to sleep, leaning against the wall in a slumber.

Kong Yueqing sat cross-legged; it was unclear whether she was sleeping or simply closing her eyes to rest.

In contrast, Kong Nian was standing at the cell door, vigorously rubbing the ropes binding her hands against the iron bars, attempting to break free in this manner.

The spirit of not giving up in the face of desperation was commendable, but it was still useless.

Su Yan merely took one look, yawned, and found a comfortable position to sleep.

She now knew what Liu Yiyi was doing, but she had not yet figured out why Liu Yiyi needed to absorb such a large amount of human blood. Furthermore, she had an intuition—was there someone else behind Liu Yiyi?

Therefore, she could not expose herself yet. Having persisted to this step, she would naturally want to pull this place out by its very roots.
