Taking advantage of Lu-er being scared out of her wits, Zhang Heng slowly moved closer to Lu-er.
As he got closer, he continued saying, “Even though I’m not as talented as your young master, I’m still a respected figure in the academy. You won’t suffer from following me. How about it? It’s just one night!”
As he was talking, Zhang Heng wanted to use his finger to lift Lu-er’s chin. But Lu-er abruptly came round and immediately jumped away.
” Humph! You should just give up. Even if I die, I won’t bring shame on Young Master!”
After she said that, Lu-er lifted her hand and slapped towards the top of her head. If this palm landed, the result would definitely be the passing of a beauty.
Zhang Heng also did not expect Lu-er to be so decisive and would rather commit suicide than yield. He immediately became furious.
Although Lu-er improved amazingly fast, when facing the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm Zhang Heng, she was still incredibly weak.
Furthermore, her essence energy already depleted. How could she possibly succeed in committing suicide?
Pah!
Who knew when a whip appeared in Zhang Heng’s hands, which coiled around Lu-er’s arm, sending her flying.
Just like that, Lu-er went crashing out.
” Ah! ” Lu-er landed heavily on the ground and gave a muffled groan.
Pah!
Another lash!
This lash landed heavily on Lu-er’s. A bloody streak immediately appeared on Lu-er’s body, and blood seeped through her clothes.
“Lass who doesn’t know how to appreciate favors! Want to die? It’s not going to be that easy!”
Zhang Heng was infuriated. If Lu-er really committed suicide, he also could not escape responsibility.
He was going to graduate soon. He did not want to lose any integrity.
Lu-er’s actions were making him irritated.
” Ah! ” Lu-er shrieked, but she ignored the pain as she crawled forward, wanting to grab a circular blue object.
Just as Lu-er’s hand was about to close in on it, that circular blue object was stepped underfoot by Zhang Heng.
“Give me back the badge!” Lu-er endured the intense pain and yelled.
Zhang Heng shifted his feet and glanced at the blue item on the ground, and it was indeed a badge. Two stars were embroidered on it. This was actually a low-rank Alchemy Master badge.
“I thought what this is. So, it’s an Alchemy Master badge. I didn’t think that you stole something so valuable after only a few days in the academy! Just with this, it’s enough to get you expelled!”
Zhang Heng kicked the badge far away.
He was apparently still unaware that Ye Yuan had already passed the Alchemy Master test and officially became a low-rank Alchemy Master. Otherwise, even if he were to have an extra set of balls, he also would not dare abuse Lu-er like this.
Looking at Zhang Heng desecrating Young Master’s badge, the pain Lu-er felt was even worse than her physical pain. Tears finally trickled down uncontrollably.
Looking at Lu-er’s delicate and pitiful appearance, Zhang Heng could no longer hold back the beast inside him. He reached out and tore off a piece of Lu-er’s clothing.
Afterward, he grabbed Lu-er and dragged her to a corner, and he started to make his move to violate her in broad daylight!

“Lu-er! Lu-er!” Ye Yuan exited and shouted for Lu-er. But there was no reply.
Ye Yuan was very suspicious. Lu-er should have been waiting here for him to exit seclusion. Where did she go?
Lu-er was very obedient. If there was really something, she should have left him a message. But Ye Yuan searched the place and did not find any clues.
He also asked his neighbors, but nobody knew either.
Zhang Heng was highly scheming. The time he picked happened to be lesson time, so basically, all the students were at class.
Ye Yuan was in a closed-door seclusion, so she did not have any mood to attend classes. However, it just happened to give Zhang Heng the opportunity to strike.
“Strange. Where on earth did Lu-er go? Don’t tell me someone dares to kidnap people within the Dan Wu Academy?” Ye Yuan sat down at the table and started conjecturing.
Could Lu-er have gone to look for Tang Yu?
In this place, Lu-er only had Tang Yu for a friend.
Thinking of Tang Yu, Ye Yuan relaxed and was just about to leave to find Tang Yu when there was a knocking sound.
Opening the door to take a look, who could it be except Tang Yu?
Tang Yu saw Ye Yuan and was overjoyed. “I figured that Senior Apprentice Brother Ye should have also exited seclusion, so I came over to have a look. I didn’t think that it would be so coincidental. Yii? Y-you are already at the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm?!”
Tang Yu stared with his mouth agape. Ye Yuan’s improvement was too outrageous!
He had only broken through to the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm with the help of Ye Yuan’s pills not long ago.
A month ago, when Tang Yu met Ye Yuan for the first time, he was only at the First Level Essence Qi Realm.
A month later, Ye Yuan was already at the same cultivation realm as him!
Thinking of how Ye Yuan killed Chou Ying with a finger, Tang Yu believed that if he fought with Ye Yuan, Ye Yuan could absolutely kill him in an instant!
Tang Yu currently felt that the Ye Yuan in front of him was like a dragon that entered deep waters and then soared to the sky in one stroke. Nobody could stop him anymore!
While Tang Yu was immersed in his shock, he did not notice that Ye Yuan’s facial expression did not look good.
When Ye Yuan looked behind Tang Yu and confirmed that he came alone, his face turned ugly.
He waved his hands and did not bother with Tang Yu’s shock. Opening his mouth, he asked, “Why did you come alone?”
Tang Yu was stunned and asked doubtfully, “If I’m not alone, how many people could there be?”
Ye Yuan furrowed his brows. “Didn’t Lu-er go and find you while I was in a closed-door seclusion these few days?”
Tang Yu was alarmed, but he shook his head and replied, “No. I’ve also been busy these few days and did not see Lu-er. She also never came to find me. Why, did something happen to Lu-er?”
Ye Yuan currently felt a little uneasy. “After I returned, I spent the entire time looking for her, but I couldn’t find her. I have a bad premonition. I keep feeling that something happened to her.”
“Maybe Lu-er was bored of waiting for you, and in a moment of playfulness, ran out to play. This is the Dan Wu Academy. Nothing should happen. Don’t need to worry, Brother Ye.” Tang Yu reassured him.
Ye Yuan gave a sigh and said, “I hope so.”
The house momentarily became silent. But the uneasiness in Ye Yuan’s heart grew increasingly stronger.
He suddenly stood up and said to Tang Yu, “Please return, Brother Tang. I’m still a little worried about Lu-er. I’m going to look for her.”
“I’ll go too. There’s a higher chance with two people searching.” Tang Yu offered.
Ye Yuan shook his head and said, “No need. Just I alone will suffice.”
After he said that, Ye Yuan casually grabbed a piece of Lu-er’s clothing and went out.
. . . . . .
Ye Yuan did not go around hunting aimlessly. He came directly to Feng Ruoqing’s pill refinement room.
After returning from the capital, not only did Feng Ruoqing had a cultivation realm breakthrough, her insights in the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique also grew deeper.
Ye Yuan was in a closed-door seclusion these past few days, so she naturally hid in the pill refinement room to practice the Yin-Yang Separation Flow Technique.
Feng Ruoqing was surprised when she saw Ye Yuan, but Ye Yuan did not give her a chance to speak.
“I want to borrow your refinement room to use. Prepare a few ingredients f
or me!”
Ye Yuan casually threw Feng Ruoqing a piece of paper and directly entered the pill refinement room like this refinement room belonged to him.
Ye Yuan’s words were like issuing an order. Feng Ruoqing was very annoyed at his attitude but surprisingly did not blow her top. That was because she had never seen such a frightening expression on Ye Yuan’s face before.
Feng Ruoqing was quick-witted and knew that something must have happened.
“Forget it, forget it. Who asked me to owe him.”
Feng Ruoqing let out a faint sigh and really went to prepare the ingredients Ye Yuan needed like a maidservant.
If other people saw the dignified State of Qin’s Head Princess does this sort of thing, their jaws would drop due to the shock.
Before long, Feng Ruoqing returned. The ingredients that Ye Yuan required were all ordinary stuff and were not difficult to source. It was naturally easy to obtain with Feng Ruoqing’s status.
Except, Feng Ruoqing was very curious about what Ye Yuan was trying to refine.
The ingredients that Ye Yuan needed were not all herbs. There were some other items. Refining medicinal pills out of these ingredients were impossible.
Passing the ingredients over to Ye Yuan, Feng Ruoqing could not resist asking, “There are quite a few that aren’t herbs. What are you trying to refine with these ingredients?”
Ye Yuan received the ingredients and answered indifferently, “You don’t need to bother. Just watch. Start the fire!”
“You! You’re really treating me like a servant?!” Feng Ruoqing could not help losing her temper. This fellow had no respect for anyone!
“If you’re not helping, then go to one side. Don’t hold me up!” Ye Yuan words grew icier.
Not knowing the reason Feng Ruoqing walked to the Red Lotus Cauldron and helped Ye Yuan open up the earth fire.
Seeing the situation, Ye Yuan did not express anything. Right now, his heart was burning with anxiety. However, he knew that the more impatient he got, the more he had to keep calm and not lose his reason.
The fire started, and Ye Yuan began to refine.
This time around, the refinement was not earthshaking. It was only a very simple-looking refinement method. But Feng Ruoqing had never seen this sort of method before.
Without the process of preparing the herbs nor the process of refining the medicinal essence, Ye Yuan directed the fire to temper the ingredients while looking very relaxed.
After an hour, the result of Ye Yuan refinement appeared. It was a chalk-like item, except that its appearance was grayish-black.
“What’s this?” Feng Ruoqing asked curiously again.
“Soul Guiding Incense!”
This time around, Ye Yuan did not reject answering. It was just that when he talked, he let out a long breath. His rising and falling chest showed his current state of agitation.
“Soul Guiding Incense? What’s it used for?” Feng Ruoqing had never heard of this thing before and asked inquisitively.
Ye Yuan did not answer but threw the Soul Guiding Incense onto the clothing that he brought along. After that, he waved a hand to draw a wisp of fire. Earth fire had an exceedingly high temperature. Lu-er’s clothes were burned into a wisp of green smoke instantly.
However, the miraculous thing was that the green smoke condensed in mid-air and did not dissipate!
The next instant, the green smoke moved, and Ye Yuan moved as well.
“Where are you going?” Feng Ruoqing asked bewilderedly.
But Ye Yuan ignored her and ran out following that strand of green smoke.
Feng Ruoqing bit her lips as she watched. After hesitating for a moment, she also followed.
Chapter 75

Lu-er used her remaining strength to struggle, but this weak struggle was futile and useless.
Currently, her essence energy was drained. She could not even commit suicide.
Lu-er became more and more terrified and increasingly becoming weaker.
If she were tainted by a fellow like him, she would rather die!
Pah!
Zhang Heng slapped Lu-er’s face and spat as he said, “Little b*tch. You still aren’t compliant when you are already like this? You’re really asking for a beating!”
Lu-er suffered due to that slap, and one side of her face immediately swelled up. She laid there motionlessly as if she was resigned to her fate.
Seeing the situation, Zhang Heng gave a nasty grin and said, ‘That’s right. Much better now. Don’t worry. After today, you won’t be able to leave this Senior Apprentice Brother! Hahaha!”
After saying that, Zhang Heng leaned over to carry out that bestial act.
But right at this moment, all the pores on Zhang Heng’s body stood on end. A feeling of danger came from straight ahead.
Zhang Heng instinctively jumped away. An ice arrow grazed his face as it flew past.
Luckily, his reaction was fast enough. Otherwise, that ice arrow would have already pierced through his throat.
Withdrawing to the side, Zhang Heng broke into cold sweat. Who would have thought that this lass who already did not have any strength to retaliate could actually release such a powerful attack?
However, Zhang Heng instantly became furious. Lu-er nearly killed him!
Lu-er struggled to get up. Presently, her entire aura had changed drastically. Her entire body gave off an ice-cold feeling.
This sort iciness seemed like it could even freeze the air.
A layer of white frost covered Lu-er’s hair, and her face also turned abnormally pale.
Zhang Heng looked at Lu-er’s transformation and chortled as he said, “So, it turns out that you have the Nine Yin Absolute Meridian! You actually dared to cultivate essence energy with your Nine Yin Absolute Meridian. You really can’t tell life from death! Right now, the frost poison has burst forth, I will see how you suppress it!”
The sun was currently shining brightly, but Lu-er felt as if her entire body was placed in an icehouse. The frost penetrated the bone and sunk in deeply.
This was the ultimate move of the Heaven Illusionary Ice Soul, Profound Ice Returns to Dust!
This move was a forbidden technique in the Heaven Illusionary Ice Soul. When Ye Yuan was teaching Lu-er, he had informed her that unless she had no other alternative, she must absolutely never use it!
That was because this move triggered the Nine Yin Absolute Meridian, attracting the frost qi between heaven and earth into her body in exchange for a powerful strength temporarily.
The name ‘Returns to Dust’ meant that after using it, from ashes to ashes, dust to dust. It was a move to perish together with your enemy.
Currently, Lu-er’s aura soared massively, directly breaking through the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm threshold, past the Fifth Level Essence Qi Realm, and finally stopping at the Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm!
The time Lu-er spent cultivating the Heaven Illusionary Ice Soul was still too short. Even though she improved at an amazing speed, her comprehension was not that profound.
If the Spirit Snow Divine King was the one executing the Profound Ice Returns to Dust, even if she only at the strength of a First Level Essence Qi Realm, she would be able to directly raise her strength to the Great Circle of Perfection of the Essence Qi Realm!
Although Zhang Heng was surprised at Lu-er’s sudden rise in strength, he did not pay too much heed.
The Sixth Level Essence Qi Realm was still a minor stage lower than him!
But he was currently livid because Lu-er nearly killed him just now, making him feel incredibly ashamed.
That ice arrow also extinguished his lust. Right now, what he wanted to do was to send Lu-er to the afterlife.
Directly killing was a definite no-no. He would be punished by the academy.
But since this lass had the Nine Yin Absolute Meridian, then he could not be blamed if she sought her own death.
“Die, lecher!” L
u-er grabbed the air with one hand. An ice arrow formed once again and shot towards Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng laughed coldly as he easily dodged it.
This ice arrow might have a high attacking power, but what was the use if it could not hit the target?
He was unprepared just now, which was why Lu-er’s sneak attack almost succeeded. Now that they were fighting head-on, he naturally would not fall for it again.
After all, Lu-er was not Ye Yuan. She lacked actual combat experience and could not control the sudden rise in strength.
This sort of straight-forward attack obviously would not cause any trouble for the powerful Zhang Heng.
However, Lu-er did not care. Before she activated the Profound Ice Returns to Dust, she already had the will to die.
Lu-er believed that even if she could not kill this guy, Young Master would take revenge for her!
“Trying to deal with me with these sort of attacks? You’re underestimating Earth Rank students’ strength too much!” Zhang Heng said with a mocking face.
“Humph! Thousand Illusion Hail!”
Lu-er cried out as her two hands formed a round shape.
Very swiftly, countless stones formed between her hands. Pushing both palms out, a hailstone shot towards Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng was astounded. He did not think that Lu-er’s attacks would continue without end.
This hailstone was an area-of-effect attack. Zhang Heng’s speed was fast, but he was still struck by many hailstones.
But the attack power of this hailstone was much weaker than the previous ice arrow. Coupled with Zhang Heng’s powerful essence energy protection, these sort of attacks were unable to cause any real damage to him.
“Humph! Don’t blame me for courting death, lass! Snake Shadow Whip!”
Zhang Heng’s whip technique was very skillful. The whip shot towards Lu-er from a highly tricky angle.
Right now, Lu-er knew that she was not Zhang Heng’s match, and her heart already held the will to die. She did not evade this whip at all.
