The Martial Son-in-law

However, Lyu Ji's hatred towards Ruan Zhu had reached a point where it could not be any worse. Naturally, there was no lack of torture.    

Those tortures that were enough to drive ordinary people crazy, Ruan Zhu gritted her teeth and endured them one by one.    

Ruan Zhu had already resigned herself to fate. She felt that her life would end under Lyu Ji's torture and when it would end would depend on when Ruan Zhu would die.    

Ruan Zhu had screamed, wailed, cursed, but she did not shed a single tear.    

But...    

When Ruan Zhu got it, Zhang Chu was willing to hand over the third Devil Arts for her. The dark and hopeless fate was pierced by the light of dawn, and it welcomed a glimmer of hope. Ruan Zhu's strong belief collapsed because of it. Endless sorrow surged into her heart.    

Sometimes, what made people sad was not necessarily pain, and what made people cry was not necessarily suffering.    

He looked at Ruan Zhu who was trembling and her tears kept flowing. She looked pitiful and pitiful. It was hard to imagine. Before this, this girl was once a ruthless killer who frightened the entire secular world of cultivation.    

After all, she was just a girl who hadn't been deeply involved in the affairs of the world.    

After a moment of silence, Ruan Zhu clenched her fists, and as if she had used all the courage in her body, she lowered her head and walked silently towards Zhang Chu.    

When Ruan Zhu walked in front of him, Zhang Chu did not resist and very naturally held Ruan Zhu in his arms. He gently caressed Ruan Zhu's shoulder and comforted her trembling soul that had nowhere to rest.    

"It's alright. It's all in the past." Zhang Chu comforted her softly. "From today onwards, you are my sister."    

As soon as he said this, Ruan Zhu's mental defense completely collapsed. She threw herself into Zhang Chu's arms and used all her strength to hug Zhang Chu's body, crying loudly.    

All of the grievances and sadness surged out along with her tears.    

Ruan Zhu pressed her face against Zhang Chu's chest, allowing the tears to wet Zhang Chu's chest. She felt Zhang Chu's body covered in scars, but felt that it was so warm and safe.    

Ever since she entered the world of cultivation, the only thing Ruan Zhu could rely on was her master.    

But when Ruan Zhu left her master and embarked on her journey alone, the only thing she had left was endless loneliness.    

Everyone had their own secrets, so Ruan Zhu was no exception.    

She took off the emotionless mask, the cold coat, and peeked into her boiling heart.    

Ruan Zhu was very afraid of one person, which was why she had developed a deep relationship with the staff of the rest stop in such a short period of time.    

No one knew that the prey that Ruan Zhu had set her eyes on was actually not killed immediately.    

Ruan Zhu hid in the dark and quietly observed the prey. It was not to toy with them, it was just to establish a temporary connection with other people. It allowed her lonely soul to obtain a trace of comfort.    

Zhang Chu was the first person to open up his heart and sincerely accept Ruan Zhu.    

It was also because of this that Ruan Zhu's hidden emotions surged out like a broken dam.    

"Big brother..." Ruan Zhu's voice trembled as she called out, crying even more fiercely than before. "I don't want to be alone anymore. I am afraid of loneliness, afraid of being alone in the dark, wandering around like a walking corpse."    

"Master said that true experts dare to face loneliness. " But this time, I don't want to listen to Master... "    

Zhang Chu gently stroked Ruan Zhu's head and said softly, "No, I won't. You will have us for the rest of your life. "    

"Wuwuwu..." Ruan Zhu started to cry recklessly. Her cry was so loud that it shook the entire Sky Mountain and even caused a small avalanche.    

This was the first time Ruan Zhu cried in her life. Once she cried, it would shake the heavens and earth.    

At the end, Ruan Zhu wiped away her tears. When she looked up, the sadness on her face had already been swept away and was replaced with a bright red face. "Mr. Chu, I will never forget what you did to me at the rest stop."    

Uh...    

Zhang Chu was speechless, thinking that this misunderstanding could not be explained clearly.    

Ruan Zhu raised her head and looked at Qin Sitong who was lying on Zhang Chu's shoulder. She blinked and said, "Sister Sitong, don't worry. I will not fight with you for Mr. Chu."    

Qin Sitong was very weak but she still struggled to reach out her hand and wiped Ruan Zhu's head. "Silly girl, big sister is never afraid of anyone snatching."    

Ruan Zhu was stunned for a moment and said in a daze, "Is it because you have a unique position in Mr. Chu's heart?"    

"Hehe." Qin Sitong smiled and did not say anything, but the way she looked at Zhang Chu was filled with affection, as tender as water.    

It was late at night, and the cold wind was bleak.    

The four of them stepped on the moonlight and went back the way they came.    

On the way, Zhang Chu promised that as long as they found a blank moon book, he would return the Sky Devil to Ruan Zhu.    

Ruan Zhu gladly accepted it, but she secretly prayed in her heart, hoping that Zhang Chu would never find that blank book.    

No cars, no horses.    

The three of them, with just their legs, walked a few hundred kilometers in one night, and returned to the road that was connected to the mortal world and the cultivation world.    

Sporadic lights appeared on the blue horizon.    

When they got closer, they discovered that this was not a rest stop, but a private territory.    

A large tent, a ranch surrounded by fences. More than ten horses and over a hundred sheep. A man wearing thick animal skin clothes was walking around the edge of the ranch with a lantern in his hand. He was holding an ancient hunting rifle that was comparable to an antique. Apparently, a pack of wolves had visited this place last night.    

The herdsmen also noticed Zhang Chu and the others. They stood at the entrance of the ranch with their hunting rifles and watched quietly.    

As they got closer, Zhang Chu was surprised to find that the herdsman was Chen Qiusheng's brother, the herdsman who gave him the horse.    

"So it's you." Zhang Chu was pleasantly surprised and immediately fell into a dilemma, because the herdsman brother did not seem to understand Mandarin. Zhang Chu could only reach out his hand and point at Qin Sitong who was on his shoulder.    

Due to the reaction of the plateau, Qin Sitong's mind was already somewhat unclear and urgently needed recuperation and treatment.    

Zhang Chu pointed and gestured, beaming with joy. He hoped that Mr. Herdsman could understand what he meant and borrow a roof to recuperate for a while.    

Mr. Herdsman just looked at Zhang Chu without any reaction.    

Zhao Tang, who was beside him, was also anxious and anxious. He said gloomily, "It has already been expressed so clearly. How come he still doesn't understand? When I sent him the horse back then, I felt that there was something wrong with this brother of mine. " Zhao Tang pointed at his own head, indicating that Mr. Herdsman's head was not bright.    

As soon as Zhao Tang finished the competition, Mr. Herdsman raised his hunting spear and pointed it at Zhao Tang's head. He spoke in fluent Mandarin. "Who do you think has a bad brain?"    

Zhang Chu and the others were shocked.    

Zhao Tang was confused. "F * ck, so you know how to speak Mandarin. Then why are you pretending?"    

Mr. Herdsman had a look of disdain on his face. "I don't understand. It's different from whether I want to talk to you or not."
