Chapter 88

Just as Lu Tianyu was madly rushing towards Xiaoyu, the maid who had accompanied Xiaoyu to deliver the pastries, Xiaor, had already sprinted out of the Zhan Mansion and arrived at the small forest behind the back gate.

"Senior, your servant has followed your instructions and sprinkled the 'Heart-Melting Powder' into the food, which Lu Tianyu has consumed. Please show yourself," Xiaor muttered, looking at the towering tree in front of her, which was as thick as her waist.

"Whoosh." As soon as Xiaor finished speaking, the trunk of the giant tree twisted, like ripples on water, and a man with a black mask slowly stepped out, standing before her.

Xiaor did not panic. Although her cultivation was not high, she could tell that the man had emerged from an array formation set up in the tree.

Although the man was masked, his white hair was clearly visible, indicating that he was undoubtedly an old man.

"Did you complete the task?" The masked old man's voice was extremely hoarse, as if he was trying to suppress it to avoid being recognized by Xiaor.

"Yes, Senior. Please keep your promise and release my elderly parents," Xiaor immediately nodded, her eyes brimming with tears, pleading bitterly.

Just yesterday, while cleaning in the Zhan Mansion, Xiaor was suddenly knocked unconscious and brought to this forest. When she woke up, she saw the masked man and her elderly parents, who had already been paralyzed and unconscious.

Xiaor was terrified and wanted to cry for help, but the masked man quickly sealed her vocal point and said viciously, "If you want to save your parents' lives, do as I say. Put this packet of 'Heart-Melting Powder' in the food and give it to Lu Tianyu. Once you've done it, come here and report. I will appear and release your parents. If you tell anyone else, your parents will surely die."

After saying this, the masked man threw a packet of powder and left with Xiaor's parents.

Half an hour later, Xiaor's vocal point automatically unsealed. She wanted to report the matter to Zhan Longxing, but considering the masked man's formidable abilities, she realized that he must have a high status in the Flowing Cloud Sect. If the news leaked, her parents would surely die.

After much thought, Xiaor had no choice but to follow the masked man's instructions.

At noon, the opportunity finally came. Xiaoyu asked Xiaor to help her make pastries for Lu Tianyu. While kneading the dough, Xiaor secretly sprinkled the 'Heart-Melting Powder' into the flour, eventually making a plate of osmanthus pastries, which Lu Tianyu ate entirely.

Xiaor knew what 'Heart-Melting Powder' was. It was a powerful aphrodisiac that caused one to lose all reason and become like a beast five minutes after consumption.

Although Xiaor knew the consequences for Xiaoyu, she could not think of anything else. Her only thought was to save her elderly parents.

"Is everything you said true?" The masked old man asked excitedly, his voice slightly off due to his agitation, revealing a hint of his true accent.

"You... you are..." Hearing the familiar voice, Xiaor's eyes widened in disbelief. She never expected this seemingly righteous and god-like figure to do such a despicable thing.

"Do you know who I am?" The masked old man's heart skipped a beat, realizing his mistake. He immediately growled menacingly.

"No... no, your servant knows nothing," Xiaor replied, trembling and involuntarily stepping back.

"Since you've recognized me, don't blame me for being ruthless." The masked old man understood that Xiaor had guessed his identity and immediately waved his right hand, releasing a violent purple battle aura that sealed her entire body.

"Thud." Xiaor fell heavily to the ground, unable to move, her eyes wide with terror.

"Whoosh." After doing this, the masked old man blew lightly, and the black mask on his face turned into fragments, scattering to the ground.

Xiaor's wide eyes reflected a familiar face. This man, who had visited the Zhan Mansion multiple times and had deep conversations with Zhan Longxing, was always seen as a righteous and god-like figure by the servants. Now, he looked so sinister and terrifying, as if he had transformed into a different person.

He was none other than Zhan Longxing's junior brother, Li Xiao.

But with her body sealed, Xiaor could not scream. She could only watch helplessly as Li Xiao, with a sinister expression, pressed his hand against her forehead.

As if a thunderbolt had struck her mind, Xiaor felt her memories fade like a receding tide. She could not resist, and her head tilted, and she fainted.

"Ha ha, that boy Lu Tianyu has indeed fallen for it. He ate the Heart-Melting Powder. Now, it's time for me to put my plan into action." After searching Xiaor's memories, Li Xiao could not help but laugh triumphantly. A dazzling purple battle aura surged from Xiaor's forehead, instantly turning her body into a pool of blood that seeped into the ground.

After doing this, Li Xiao immediately disappeared into the array formation on the tree trunk.

...

"Brother Tianyu, no, please, don't..."

In the eastern wing of the Zhan Mansion, Xiaoyu's voice was already hoarse, but she could not stop the deranged Lu Tianyu.

At this moment, most of her robe had been violently torn off by Lu Tianyu, leaving only a final piece of intimate clothing, exposing most of her snow-white skin.

But Lu Tianyu, who had taken the 'Heart-Melting Powder,' was indifferent to Xiaoyu's pleas and continued to tear at her clothes with bloodshot eyes.

"Rip." With a sharp sound, the last piece of clothing on Xiaoyu's body was torn into pieces and scattered on the ground.

Two perfect, snow-white spheres were now exposed, and the two small, strawberry-like points on them made Lu Tianyu lose all control. He panted heavily and pressed down on her with wild abandon...

Xiaoyu, now completely exposed and pressed to the ground, was so terrified that she momentarily forgot to use her battle aura to resist.

Even if she wanted to resist, it would have been futile, as her cultivation was far below Lu Tianyu's.

"Rip!" Driven by instinct, Lu Tianyu tore his own robe into pieces, which fluttered around Xiaoyu. Then, he positioned himself and, like a wild beast, launched his first assault.

"Ah!" With a heart-wrenching scream, Xiaoyu fainted from the pain. A trail of blood slowly spread from where their bodies met, forming a blood-stained plum blossom on the ground.

"Whoosh." Lu Tianyu did not stop, continuing his frenzied assault, repeatedly attacking Xiaoyu in a primitive manner...

However, due to the soundproofing barrier Xiaor had secretly set up at the door, no sound could travel far, and no one in the Zhan Mansion heard the commotion in the secluded eastern wing.

"Ugh..." With a long, satisfied sigh, Lu Tianyu finally released his seed, and his frenzied actions came to an abrupt stop.

"Ah!" As he stopped, Lu Tianyu's bloodshot eyes cleared, and he looked down at the unconscious Xiaoyu beneath him, breaking out in a cold sweat and letting out a sharp scream.

"What's happening? Xiaoyu, wake up, wake up!" After the effects of the Heart-Melting Powder wore off, Lu Tianyu's mind was still hazy, but the current situation reminded him of the terrible things he had done.

Panic-stricken, Lu Tianyu was filled with regret. He did not understand what had happened, why he had become so beastly, and why he had committed such a heinous act against the innocent Xiaoyu.

Lu Tianyu hurriedly took a long robe from his storage bag and covered Xiaoyu, then sent a thread of battle aura into her body to try to wake her up.

Stimulated by Lu Tianyu's battle aura, Xiaoyu's eyelashes fluttered, and a look of extreme pain appeared on her face, even in her unconscious state.

Seeing the pain on Xiaoyu's face, Lu Tianyu felt as if he was being cut into pieces. He had committed a terrible sin against such an innocent girl.

"Boom." Just as Lu Tianyu was filled with remorse, a deafening sound came from behind him. The door shattered into pieces, and fragments of wood fell heavily on his back.

Lu Tianyu was startled and quickly turned around to see Zhan Longxing, Li Xiao, and a middle-aged woman in her forties standing at the door, their hair standing on end and their eyes bloodshot, staring at him with intense anger.

"Master... Master..." Lu Tianyu's face turned pale, and large sweat drops rolled down his forehead as he stammered.

"Beast, you still have the nerve to call me master. Look at what you've done." Seeing the scattered pieces of clothing on the ground, his granddaughter Xiaoyu lying still, and the pool of blood, Zhan Longxing was overwhelmed with grief and rage. His eyes, filled with fury, seemed to be about to burst into flames.
