My Super Beautiful Lady Boss-Chapter 631 - 624 Gourd Valley

Su Xuan and Qiuyue were searching for the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus on Mount Everest, and along the way, unexpectedly, they were intercepted by one expert after another.

At this time, a monk named Kong Ren blocked Su Xuan’s path.

When he heard Su Xuan claim he was at the third layer of Power Transformation, he truly found it amusing. In the entire Huaxia Country, not many people could cultivate, reaching Foundation Establishment was already considered astonishing. Attaining Dark Strength, although present among geniuses, was like a deity-like existence.

Upon hearing Su Xuan say this, Kong Ren naturally didn’t believe him.

"If you don’t believe it, then I will make you believe."

This time, Su Xuan turned from passive to active. His body barely swayed, and he had already moved behind Kong Ren, ghost-like, patting Kong Ren’s shoulder and frightening him into shuddering.

"Have you ever seen such speed?"

"Never..."

Kong Ren completely lost his temper, knowing the disparity in strength was too great; he definitely couldn’t match up to Su Xuan. Yet, he wasn’t willing to just go back, as others would surely mock him for his incompetence.

Kong Ren sighed unconsciously, which Su Xuan saw, knowing he had resigned himself to his fate. But Su Xuan, after all, was not a bloodthirsty person. If you can’t beat someone, you can leave; just don’t get in my way.

"Scram, and tell Song Tianbao to stop bothering me. Otherwise, once I find the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus and come down the mountain, I’ll come for his dog’s life."

"I’m leaving, I’m leaving right now."

Kong Ren went to pick up his snakehead staff, because just moments ago Su Xuan’s fist and the snakehead staff collided, flinging it away.

Kong Ren walked over to pick up his snakehead staff, and as it was very close to Qiuyue, he unexpectedly gripped Qiuyue’s shoulder with his fingers, standing behind her and threatening Su Xuan.

Qiuyue really felt like dying, wondering why she was always causing trouble for Su Xuan.

"Hahaha, how about it, Su Xuan? Who loses now, please tell me loud and clear!"

Kong Ren sneered contemptuously.

Su Xuan hadn’t expected that this time he was careless. Kong Ren, knowing he couldn’t win, hadn’t left; instead, he harbored the idea of using Qiuyue to kill Su Xuan.

"Don’t mess around, we can talk this over."

When Su Xuan saw Kong Ren’s fingers already scraping a blood line on Qiuyue’s neck, he knew that with a little more force, he could snap her neck.

"Fine, I was just waiting for you to say that. Haha, heroes have a tough time with beauty passes; let me tell you, women in this world are to be dominated, and getting involved with them will lead you to this outcome!"

"Su Xuan, don’t worry about me, just kill this beast! Even if I die, I will still be grateful to you,"

Qiuyue struggled to say.

Su Xuan truly regretted it now. If he had known, he would have come alone and let Qiuyue stay in the village below the mountain to take care of Song Shuangshuang. But Qiuyue insisted on coming, saying she could be helpful.

Now Su Xuan realized, Qiuyue was not helping, but rather making things worse.

"Su Xuan, kneel down!"

Kong Ren shouted aloud, now having Qiuyue in his hands, and he had just heard that this woman was Su Xuan’s woman, so he definitely valued her highly. Kong Ren was using this to blackmail Su Xuan.

"Su Xuan, don’t kneel. A man’s knees have gold under them; it’s not worth it for me!"

At this moment, Qiuyue was in tears. She hadn’t expected Su Xuan to care about her so much. If it were someone else, they wouldn’t care about her life or death, but Su Xuan was truly a kind-hearted and genuine man.

"Quick, kneel down, or else I will twist your wife’s neck!"

"If she dies, you die too,"

Su Xuan stared at her and said.

"What do I fear in death? With such a beauty accompanying me, I won’t be lonely on the Yellow Spring Road. More importantly, it’s about your wife, hahaha..."

What Su Xuan hated the most was being threatened.

Ah!

Suddenly, Kong Ren let out a strange cry. At this time, it wasn’t some hero lending a hand, but rather Qiuyue, taking the opportunity while he was talking with Su Xuan, raised her foot and fiercely kicked Kong Ren’s groin!

Men like him deserved such punishment. Qiuyue had harbored quite a bit of anger, and it all came out in that kick.

After Qiuyue’s fierce kick, Kong Ren, because of the pain below, significantly reduced the strength in his hands.

It was still somewhat difficult for Qiuyue to break free. If Kong Ren noticed, it would only take half a second to snap Qiuyue’s neck.

At that moment, taking advantage of Kong Ren’s shifted attention, Su Xuan finally made his move.

It could be said that Su Xuan moved with the fastest speed of his life, reaching in front of Kong Ren and snapping his wrist with a crisp crack.

A chance, once it presents itself, must be firmly seized.

Qiuyue looked at Su Xuan emotionally; in this moment, her heart was filled only with thoughts of Su Xuan, having given herself over to him completely.

"Bastard!"

Qiuyue finally broke free from Kong Ren’s control, her neck still bearing deep, bloody marks from being strangled.

"Brother Xuan, I was wrong; I won’t dare again!"

Kong Ren, realizing he no longer had anything to threaten Su Xuan with, felt fear gripping him to the extreme.

Su Xuan did not speak; he just approached step by step, the air around him seemingly dropping to freezing point.

"Grandpa Xuan, I really know I was wrong. If you can spare me, I will do anything for you—be your ox or your horse; anything! By the way, don’t you want to know who sent me to assassinate you? It was Li Tianming. He brought in a great number of experts from outside to deal with you. If you capture him, you can find out the whereabouts of Song Shuangshuang. You must—"

Thud!

Before he could finish speaking, Su Xuan’s hand had struck his head.

Kong Ren collapsed weakly to the ground, his eyes wide open. Su Xuan was now at the third layer of Power Transformation; dealing with someone who had just established their foundation was simply a unilateral slaughter.

"Are you alright?"

Su Xuan walked over to Qiuyue, asking with concern as he looked at the marks on her neck.

"Su Xuan, I was really scared just now."

Qiuyue suddenly threw herself into Su Xuan’s arms. She had always thought Su Xuan was a bit handsome, a bit bad, but never realized how important she was to him; she was nearly killed by Kong Ren just moments ago. If Su Xuan had told Kong Ren that her death had nothing to do with him, perhaps Kong Ren would have already attacked Qiuyue.

"Don’t be afraid. As long as I am here, I can hold up even if the sky falls!"

Qiuyue nodded vigorously. Although she was a few years older than Su Xuan, at that moment, she was like a little lamb curling up in Su Xuan’s arms, constantly wiping her tears.

Seeing that comforting her this way wasn’t helping, Su Xuan suggested, "We should hurry and leave this place. People from Song Tianbao might catch up soon."

"Mm, I’ll listen to you."

Qiuyue nodded, getting up from Su Xuan’s embrace, unable to believe that the once cold-blooded assassin had become so gentle with Su Xuan. It was actually Su Xuan touching the girlish heart in her, which had always given people a cool, high-and-mighty feeling when she was an assassin. Now, she could no longer keep up that facade.

Su Xuan and Qiuyue continued on their way. Su Xuan had his own plans. On Mount Everest, the more dangerous the place, the less likely Song Tianbao’s men would follow. Naturally, these dangerous areas were in the interior of Mount Everest, where it was rarely visited, covered in endless snow, perpetually frozen, with extremely low temperatures, and even the snow had turned to hard ice.

Su Xuan wanted to reach the interior of Mount Everest as soon as possible; there it was more likely to find the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, and hopefully, they would not be followed there.

"Let’s move faster; we’ve only covered so little distance today. At this rate, we’ll run out of provisions before we even get there."

The two quickly increased their pace.

Meanwhile, Song Tianbao was at home, panicking over the lack of news from Su Xuan, because only Su Xuan knew the hiding place of his daughter, Song Shuangshuang. Now, thinking back to when he was at home, he regretted speaking harshly to Su Xuan. If he hadn’t done that, perhaps his daughter wouldn’t have been taken away.

Song Tianbao believed that a significant part of this dilemma was due to his daughter’s immaturity, which allowed Su Xuan to exploit the situation.

This time, to capture Su Xuan, Li Tian had dispatched numerous experts. Jumping Tiger and Master Kongren, who had suddenly lost contact, were supposed to report back to Li Tian every few hours as per the standard procedure, yet there had been no communications from them at all.

The other experts thought they might have discovered Su Xuan’s location and thus deliberately did not report their own position, fearing others might steal their credit.

This time in searching for Su Xuan, Li Tian personally took action, braving the harsh cold, sitting in a small helicopter, listening to the various reports being relayed back, only to find that a small helicopter was missing in the end.

Through radar, it was discovered that it had crashed in a deep valley.

Li Tian thought it was due to the pilot’s error; only Su Xuan knew that the radar had been thrown off the snow cliff, and the helicopter was still buried in a snow cave.

"Tianming, if you really reach the Gourd Valley on Mount Everest, don’t go in there. It’s too dangerous,"

Song Tianbao called through the satellite phone Li Tian had left him at home, advising him earnestly.

"What danger? If Su Xuan goes in, we have to go in too. Don’t you want to know about Song Shuangshuang’s whereabouts? She is my fiancée after all."

"Tianming, I understand all that you’re saying, but Gourd Valley is too dangerous. Avalanches, storms, snow caves and so on, just encountering one could be fatal. Please don’t go there."

"Alright, I got it,"

Li Tian answered, but he didn’t actually agree with him. He thought that Song Tianbao, who had lived on Mount Everest for years, had lost touch with modern societal thinking and didn’t understand the modern mindset, making his advice outdated and untrustworthy.

"Full speed ahead; we must catch Su Xuan,"

Li Tian told the person next to him.

Hearing Li Tian’s command through their headsets, the experts began to advance into the depths of Mount Everest towards Gourd Valley.

Gourd Valley, resembling a gourd in shape, was right at a windy passage on Mount Everest. It was hard for a person to even stand still there. Even in daylight, it was difficult to see the surroundings clearly in the valley, where human remains were frequently found.

According to the elderly in the village at the foot of Mount Everest, a Mountain God resided on the mountain, requiring the sacrifice of boys and girls each year. If no offerings were made, he would snatch people entering Gourd Valley as substitutes, hence, Gourd Valley was also known as Death Valley.
