Eternal Life from Taking Care of Master's Wife-Chapter 38 - 37: Scattering Even Your Ashes

The night is dark and windy—a perfect night for murder.

Zhou Chen, dressed in black and wearing a bamboo hat like a phantom in the night, quietly headed straight for Shi Baoyu’s residence.

Shi Baoyu, being the only son of Shi Lei, the Squad Leader of the Qinghe Branch of the Salt Gang, had his own residence right next to the Branch.

Zhou Chen, as a constable of Qinghe City, had long been aware of the news about these important figures.

Normally, Shi Baoyu was accompanied by a Body Refining Second Layer bodyguard, and his residence had many Salt Gang guards, making it difficult for anyone to kill him.

"Young master, slow down!"

"I’m not drunk! There’s a stunning young lady at home waiting for me to pamper her, hahaha..."

A sleazy voice came, and Zhou Chen raised an eyebrow, surprised that this brat Shi Baoyu was still fooling around outside in the middle of the night.

"Seems tonight you won’t be pampering your stunning young lady at home!"

Zhou Chen snickered inwardly, as he had already spotted Shi Baoyu’s party.

Shi Baoyu, reeking of alcohol, was being supported by two servants, accompanied by a broad-shouldered elderly man and two guards.

The elderly man was a Martial Artist of Body Refining Second Layer, reportedly close to reaching Body Refining Third Layer, with eight or nine thousand pounds of strength.

But in Zhou Chen’s eyes, one strike was enough!

"Dry weather, be cautious of fire!"

Just as Zhou Chen was about to charge forward and launch a surprise attack, a watchman walked up with a lantern, and Zhou Chen paused.

Once the watchman left, Shi Baoyu and his party had already turned the corner and arrived at the doorstep of his home.

"Since that’s the case, I’ll let you be buried at home, which can count as the greatest kindness from me!"

Zhou Chen didn’t mind.

Whether it was on the road outside or inside Shi Baoyu’s house, it made no difference to Zhou Chen.

His power completely overwhelmed Shi Baoyu and all his guards.

"Fengxia, help me conceal!"

Zhou Chen instructed.

Ji Fengxia’s skills in the Wind and Moon Treasure Mirror had grown quickly, especially with Zhou Chen pushing her forward, she was advancing rapidly.

She had now reached Fifth-Layer Qi Refining.

Although in an actual fight, Ji Fengxia definitely couldn’t beat him, she was much better than Zhou Chen in support aspects.

Initially, when Ji Fengxia was at Third-Layer Qi Refining, she could silently confuse the newly advanced Body Refining Second Layer Zhou Chen and lure him into the woods for an ambush.

"Yes, master!"

Ji Fengxia cast her illusion, allowing Zhou Chen to openly follow behind Shi Baoyu into the residence, with neither Shi Baoyu nor his other guards noticing anything.

Squeak.

The main door closed, and two guards stood at the entrance.

"Hey, young lady, the young master is here!"

Back home, Shi Baoyu seemed to have sobered up a bit, rushing towards the room with excitement.

Seeing Shi Baoyu so enthusiastic, Zhou Chen leisurely followed behind, soon arriving in front of a bedroom.

"Young master, you’ve arrived!"

The two servants at the door quickly bowed, nodding with ingratiating smiles.

"My beauties are ready!"

"Don’t worry, young master, everything’s prepared, just waiting for you to enjoy at your leisure!"

"Great!"

Satisfied, Shi Baoyu nodded, and as the two servants opened the door, he rubbed his hands and strode into the room.

Zhou Chen followed openly inside.

The two servants closed the door.

Ji Fengxia’s illusion sealed the room, making it so that no one outside would notice anything happening inside, especially since the two servants were already under the illusion.

"Sweetheart, sorry to keep you waiting!"

Unaware of the impending danger, Shi Baoyu eagerly headed for the big bed in the bedroom, where a woman lay.

Even though only her face was visible, her clear and otherworldly appearance was enough to stir any man’s possessive desire.

Shi Baoyu approached the bed, ready to pull back the quilt, when suddenly, he felt a pat on his shoulder.

"Who?"

Shi Baoyu reacted quickly, swinging a punch backward.

Crack!

Zhou Chen grabbed his fist and gave it a twist.

With one twist, a force of seventy thousand pounds.

Shi Baoyu screamed, his arm twisted into a gnarled shape, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, his face twisted as he roared ferociously:

"Help me! Save me..."

"Go ahead and scream, even if you scream your throat raw, no one will come to save you!"

Zhou Chen originally intended to kill Shi Baoyu with one strike, but the moment he stepped into the room, rage surged in his heart; Shi Baoyu couldn’t die too easily.

Besides the huge bed in the room, a nearby shelf held various tools and instruments of torture.

Ordinary tools were nothing; Zhou Chen had played with them at Snow Moon Square and Zhang Long’s house, and even with Ji Fengxia in the Wind and Moon Treasure Mirror.

But those torture-like instruments were just perverse.

Nothing else to say.

The rope hanging between the two pillars nearby.

It’s similar to the one Little Dragon Girl uses for sleeping, but Zhou Chen knows this isn’t something Shi Baoyu uses for rest.

Zhou Chen recalled the torture with ropes that Gu Xiaomeng, played by Zhou Xun, suffered after being captured in the movie Wind Sound.

No wonder Zhou Chen heard that Shi Baoyu tortured many maidservants and virtuous women to death.

How many can withstand such things?

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Zhou Chen’s anger kept rising, and he slowly twisted Shi Baoyu’s other arm into a braid.

"Ahhh, no... please, let me go..."

Shi Baoyu was sobbing, desperately begging for mercy.

"You seem to enjoy playing, right? I’ll play with you slowly!"

Zhou Chen grinned, reaching up to take a steel clamp from the rack.

"Where do you think this fits best?"

Zhou Chen pinched the steel clamp, its force quite strong, but his eyes were colder, scanning Shi Baoyu up and down.

"No... don’t..."

Shi Baoyu shivered; the thought of this thing being used on him made his skin crawl and sent chills down his spine, though he was excited when using it on others.

"Please, let me go. My father is the Squad Leader of the Salt Gang. Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you!"

Shi Baoyu pleaded with tear-filled eyes. At this moment, no one came to rescue him; evidently, Zhou Chen used special means, so he could only beg for mercy.

Once he escapes, he’ll retaliate against Zhou Chen a hundredfold, a thousandfold, making him endure all the tortures, making survival unbearable and death impossible.

"Right, there’s an unparalleled beauty here I’ve yet to touch, still a virgin, and I’ll gift her to you, let you play however you want..."

Shi Baoyu turned his head to indicate the beauty on the bed, trying to divert attention.

Zhou Chen is a man.

Wouldn’t playing with a beauty be more fun than toying with him?

"How does someone like you change? Huh?"

Zhou Chen exerted force on his arm.

Rip!

Shi Baoyu’s arm was forcibly torn off!

"Ah!"

Shi Baoyu screamed, his body trembling like chaff, but to survive, he endured the pain and kept begging:

"Spare me, great hero. I was wrong. I’ll change and be a good person, building bridges and roads, opening warehouses to help the people, never doing bad things again. Please give me another chance to redeem myself..."

"It seems you don’t only know how to torture women..."

A trace of a different expression flashed in Zhou Chen’s eyes, looking at Shi Baoyu in a new light.

If this kid lives, he’ll surely inherit his father’s business.

You can say he’s bad, but you can’t say he’s useless!

Such people deserve to die even more!

"People like you will never change!"

"Only death!"

Zhou Chen pressed with force, snapping Shi Baoyu’s neck.

"Ugh!"

Shi Baoyu’s body convulsed, tongue stretching long, and he died.

Zhou Chen reached into his arms, pulling out a bundle of silver notes.

"As expected of the son of a landlord, truly wealthy!"

Zhou Chen glanced over briefly, it seemed there were over a thousand taels.

Truly rich!

"Fengxia, come out and clean up!"

Zhou Chen called in his mind, a ball of ghostly fire appeared, burning Shi Baoyu to ashes, leaving nothing behind.

But Ji Fengxia did not appear.

"Master, there are two boxes of gold and silver and several manuals in the cabinet beside you!"

Ji Fengxia said to Zhou Chen from within the Wind and Moon Treasure Mirror.

"Very good!"

Zhou Chen’s mouth curled into a smile, walking over to open the cabinet, collecting all the manuals and gold and silver into the Wind and Moon Treasure Mirror.

With Ji Fengxia’s help, Zhou Chen even found the treasures in the secret chamber.

After ransacking thoroughly, Zhou Chen came to the bed, looking at the beauty Shi Baoyu captured!

The beauty’s Kaslan eyes seemed to shine.

Her skin was fair, her features delicate, naturally pure, and otherworldly.

No wonder Shi Baoyu hurried back after drinking at the flower street to mess with her in the middle of the night.

Truly a city-toppling beauty.

"What’s your name?"

"My name is Ruyi."
