Chapter 562 - 562 562 The Concubine Forced to Become a

Chapter 562: Chapter 562: The Concubine Forced to Become a Resentful Woman Chapter 562: Chapter 562: The Concubine Forced to Become a Resentful Woman Bang, bang, bang—

The earth suddenly ruptured.

Dozens of thick, black-brown tree roots tore through the ice, smashing viciously toward them.

Jiang Fan’s pupils constricted sharply.

It was a Ninth Layer of Core Formation Perfection attack, a force comparable to Fang Taiji.

*How could they possibly withstand it head-on?*

“Would she really dare kill you, an imperial concubine?” Jiang Fan tightened his grip around Concubine Yunxia’s neck.

He found it hard to believe.

After all, Concubine Yunxia was the most favored and trusted among the Demon Emperor’s thirty-six concubines.

Would Chun Ni, a subordinate Demon King, dare kill a concubine?

*Was she not afraid of punishment from the Demon Emperor?*

Concubine Yunxia simply gazed deeply at Jiang Fan with a calm look, as if quietly awaiting death.

She offered no further explanation.

The Golden Claw Iron Wolf, however, bolted instantly, shrieking:

“Oh my god! Who let this lunatic out?!”

“Once she receives a battle order, she enters a frenzied killing state.”

“Never mind a Demon Emperor concubine, she’d kill even the Demon Emperor himself without hesitation!”

The Golden Claw Iron Wolf ran like mad, scalp prickling with fear.

The Four Great Demon Kings, while awe-inspiring, were usually reasonable—most of them could coexist peacefully as long as they weren’t provoked.

But Chun Ni Demon King, who had been confined within the Demon Race’s territory for years and was forbidden from leaving, was an exception.

She was a lunatic.

A lunatic with a double personality.

In her normal state, she was a pitiful pushover that even stray dogs would bully.

However.

As soon as she felt threatened or received a killing order, a slaughtering personality would awaken within her.

Unless absolutely necessary, the Demon Race would never send her out.

They feared she might cause uncontrollable chaos.

Upon hearing this, the faces of those riding the Demon Wolf changed.

Zhao Wuji decisively commanded, “Scatter!”

“Run!”

Staying on the Demon Wolf’s back risked being wiped out entirely.

If they scattered, even if Chun Ni Demon King had three heads and six arms, she wouldn’t be able to chase down and kill every single one of them.

At least a few would survive.

Swoosh—

The group transformed into flickering shadows, darting in all directions.

Jiang Fan gritted his teeth and held tightly onto Concubine Yunxia.

Looking on as the terrifying roots whipped toward him, showing no sign of slowing down because of Yunxia’s presence.

He finally believed the Golden Claw Iron Wolf’s assessment.

Without hesitation, he activated Cloud Shadow, vanishing a hundred feet away in an Instantaneous Movement.

Boom—

The roots smashed into the ground, shattering the ice and forming a melted trench over ten feet wide!

Rising steam distorted and blurred Chun Ni Demon King’s approaching figure.

Jiang Fan gasped sharply.

*If that blow had landed,*

*Concubine Yunxia’s body would have been pulverized into a paste, wouldn’t it?*

*This lunatic truly didn’t care about Yunxia’s survival!*

Bang, bang, bang—

More roots surged like frenzied dragons beneath the ground, blasting away sheets of ice several feet high along their path.

They needed to escape quickly.

Concubine Yunxia not only couldn’t save them but was becoming a liability.

With that thought, thunder light sparked in his palm.

He raised his hand, aiming a sharp blow directly at her forehead.

Concubine Yunxia quietly sighed, closing her beautiful eyes in resignation, already mentally prepared.

She was a Demon Emperor concubine.

Now, without any value left to exploit, the Human Clan would never let her live.

Killing her was perfectly logical.

However.

The expected pain did not arrive.

Instead, Jiang Fan tossed her onto the snowfield.

Huh?

Concubine Yunxia opened her eyes, surprise flickering in them: “You’re not killing me?”

Jiang Fan cast her a cold, fleeting glance.

Turning away, he invoked his movement technique and fled toward the distance without ever looking back, saying:

“Repaying my master uncle’s life-saving grace, consider your life spared!”

“If I capture you again, I’ll kill you for sure!”

The mission objective was to destroy the Demon Emperor’s Essence Blood.

Capturing Concubine Yunxia had been an unexpected bonus.

Letting her go wouldn’t violate the mission.

Swish.

Jiang Fan sprinted across the pristine snow, vanishing swiftly.

Concubine Yunxia sat up, staring after Jiang Fan’s retreating figure, a trace of surprise on her face.

*From the decisiveness and ruthlessness Jiang Fan had shown all the way here,*

*he should have killed her to eliminate future threats.*

*And yet, he spared her.*

Hearing the deafening booms raging behind her, growing stronger as though intent on claiming her life.

She didn’t look back and simply commanded, “Stop!”

The ferocious Chun Ni Demon King abruptly shuddered as if struck by a jolt.

Soon, her facial expression returned to normal.

Seeing Concubine Yunxia sitting in the snow, Chun Ni hurried over coquettishly, helping her to her feet.

She noticed the chains binding Yunxia, especially the coarse ones cutting into Yunxia’s alabaster neck, leaving abrasions.

Tears filled Chun Ni’s eyes as she said emotionally, “Concubine Yunxia, you’re hurt.”

Standing on tiptoe, Chun Ni blew gently on Yunxia’s neck.

A surge of rich vitality enveloped the wound, miraculously healing it without leaving a single mark.

Concubine Yunxia patted Chun Ni Demon King’s head gently: “Thank you.”

The Golden Claw Iron Wolf stared, dumbfounded, its eyes wide as saucers.

“Concubine Yunxia, you… you can control Chun Ni Demon King’s personality?”

Once Chun Ni Demon King activated her slaughtering personality, not even the Demon Emperor could awaken her.

Only after killing tirelessly and collapsing from exhaustion would she revert to her quiet personality.

The Demon Emperor had tried countless measures to resolve this.

Even ancient techniques of the Demon Race had failed to provide a solution.

Yet shockingly, all Concubine Yunxia needed was a single command to restore Chun Ni’s calm persona!

“Does the Demon Emperor know about this?”

The Golden Claw Iron Wolf blurted out instinctively.

In response, it was met with Concubine Yunxia’s icy glare.

The Golden Claw Iron Wolf immediately realized its foolishness.

The Demon Emperor clearly didn’t know.

Concubine Yunxia had hidden this secret from him!

This amounted to betrayal of the Demon Emperor!

And now the Golden Claw Iron Wolf had stumbled upon this secret.

Gulp—

The Golden Claw Iron Wolf swallowed hard, retreating cautiously and trembling as it stammered, “Concubine Yunxia, I’ll keep your secret safe.”

“I swear to heaven, I won’t breathe a word.”

Concubine Yunxia’s gaze flickered between emotions.

Ultimately, it transformed into a helpless sigh: “That bastard was right.”

“The Royal Guard Corps’ selection criteria should include an IQ test.”

It was precisely because the Iron Claw Demon Wolf was a bit dimwitted.

Concubine Yunxia decided to spare its life.

If it were smarter, it might threaten her safety.

In that case, it’d already be dead.

“Concubine Yunxia, who’s the bastard that hurt you like this? I’ll avenge you.”

Chun Ni Demon King tugged at the chains, trying to snap them apart.

But even with her Demon King strength, the chains didn’t budge.

Concubine Yunxia gazed in Jiang Fan’s direction, biting her silver teeth, letting out a long, icy laugh:

“Ha ha~ Ha ha ha~”

“Jiang Fan! You better run fast; don’t let me catch you!”

Chun Ni Demon King paused, staring at Concubine Yunxia in bewilderment.

This wasn’t the gentle, quiet Yunxia she knew, the one kind even to villains.

What had she turned into?

“Chase him—don’t chase too hard. Give him some hope, just to crush it in the end.”

Concubine Yunxia laughed coldly.

“I want to toy with him slowly!”

The Golden Claw Iron Wolf stood gaping.

Jiang Fan, that poor soul—what had he done to Concubine Yunxia?

A gentle, beautiful concubine had been twisted into a vengeful woman.
