My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 360: The Woman Who Betrayed Her Friend

"I'm telling you, Thunder City dock, be there before ten o'clock. If you're not, I guarantee they'll both be dead—I'm not joking. I'm on the high seas right now. Your Jingnan Prefecture's Heavenly Supervision Hall can't touch me here. Unless you come, no one can save them. I only want your life," Chuyun Xiong cursed.

"Fine, I'll be there!" Yang Qi hung up the phone.

A fierce murderous intent flashed in his eyes. So it was just because he lost the Elixir Medicine Conference? To think Chuyun Xiong would go this crazy over it. In that case, I'll just have to kill him. A person like that is too dangerous. He's a madman. If I don't kill him, he might threaten my friends and family in the future. It's better to deal with him for good.

...

「Eight o'clock at night. On the high seas.」

A cruise ship rested silently on the water, its lights blazing. A group of people stood on its deck, led by Chuyun Xiong. He sat in a lounge chair, eating fruit while toying with the fruit knife in his hand. Standing beside him was Zhang Gong.

A rope hung from the ship, and a person was suspended from it. Blood dripped, drop by drop, into the sea below where a school of sharks circled.

The person hanging was Chen Baixiang. Her face was filled with terror, her expression one of utter despair.

On the nearby deck, several people cowered. It was Tian Lili and the others, who also looked like they had been severely beaten.

Tian Lili was shouting in panic, "Young Master Chuyun, I helped you! Without me, Chen Baixiang would never have come. I'm willing to go to Kappa Country with you. Please, don't kill me!"

Hearing this, Chen Baixiang sank deeper into despair. She had sworn to her grandfather that Tian Lili would never harm her. She had been so certain. But as soon as she arrived, Tian Lili betrayed her. And now, she was saying something like this. Regret and fury washed over her.

Besides Tian Lili, a few other students had already fainted from fear. These young masters and ladies had been so arrogant before, acting as if they were unrivaled and thinking no one could touch them. Now, faced with Chuyun Xiong, they were scared witless. It seemed the saying 'it takes a villain to deal with a villain' was true.

With his legs broken, Chen Guo knelt before Chuyun Xiong. But his eyes were only for his granddaughter. He would rather die himself than see her killed. "Chuyun Xiong, I'm here," he pleaded. "Release my granddaughter now. I'll take her place. She's done nothing wrong!"

"Grandfather, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have disobeyed you," Chen Baixiang cried bitterly. If she hadn't been disobedient and come here, none of this would have happened.

"Haha, what touching affection between grandfather and granddaughter. But it's useless! I'll tell you the truth: today, everyone on this ship is going to die. When Yang Qi gets here, I'll send all of you to feed the sharks," Chuyun Xiong laughed maniacally.

"Why!" Tian Lili shrieked, on the verge of madness.

"Because you saw me in my disgraceful state. You saw me lose to that Yang Qi. For that, you must all die!" Chuyun Xiong declared coldly.

Chen Baixiang truly wanted to die. Today, she finally understood the cruelty of life, the brutality of reality. In the past, her grandfather had sheltered her completely. She had never known what true fear was. She regretted everything. She deserved to die, but her grandfather...?

"Hehe, so the pampered Miss Chen Baixiang is capable of repentance?" Chuyun Xiong laughed. "Too bad. It's meaningless now. Let me tell you, in my eyes, you were only ever bait to lure out your grandfather. I only kept you alive to prevent him from getting any ideas. Otherwise, you'd already be a tasty meal for the sharks. Just wait for Yang Qi. When he arrives, I'll give you a quick death."

Chuyun Xiong swallowed a piece of fruit, a smug and triumphant smile on his face.

Chen Baixiang cursed, "You're a maniac, Chuyun Xiong! If you want to kill someone, kill me! It's all my fault, every last bit of it. I shouldn't have been so vain. I shouldn't have been so greedy. I was blind! To think I would get involved with you! This is all my fault. I'm only asking to die. But my grandfather must not die! If he does, I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"

"Hehe, don't be naive!" Chuyun Xiong said. "There are no ghosts in this world. Once you're dead, you'll be nothing but a pile of shark food. You really think you can scare me?"

"Young Master Chuyun, I'm innocent! I'm on your side!" Tian Lili was still pleading. "Oh, right! You probably don't know this, but Chen Baixiang is still a virgin. This woman is extremely proud. She won't submit to anyone. Why don't you just take her right here and now? Let her truly become a woman. Also, she's taken medicated baths since she was a child, so her body is very special. I'm not entirely sure, but it seems that sleeping with her can enhance your Power!"

"Oh?" Hearing this, Chuyun Xiong's interest was piqued.

"Tian Lili, you bitch! You betrayed me! I thought you were my friend! I told you so many of my secrets, and you betray me! How could you!" Chen Baixiang shrieked. She would rather die than be humiliated before being killed. That would be too miserable.

"Don't blame me. I'm just trying to stay alive. After you're dead, I'll make sure that Yang Qi of yours joins you. Don't you think he's so great? Weren't you always bragging about him?" Tian Lili said coldly.

"You're completely insane!" Chen Baixiang roared.

"Both of you, shut up! Let her down!" Chuyun Xiong was ecstatic. He had planned on killing Chen Baixiang, but now that he knew her secret, he wouldn't give her up so easily.

Chen Baixiang was let down from the rope, and her bleeding was even staunched because Chuyun Xiong had changed his mind.

"Hehe, it's not ten o'clock for more than an hour. Who knows if that bastard Yang Qi will even show up. I might as well enjoy myself first," Chuyun Xiong said, setting down his fruit. He gazed at Chen Baixiang with a lewd expression.

"Chuyun Xiong, that's enough."

Suddenly, a voice rang out. From the shadows on the deck, a figure emerged.

It was Yang Qi!

"Yang Qi! You! How did you get here? Where's the boat we sent to pick you up?" Chuyun Xiong was completely stunned. There were no small boats nearby. Could Yang Qi have flown here?

He had originally planned to kill Chen Guo the moment Yang Qi arrived and be done with it. Chen Guo's only value was to lure Yang Qi here. But Yang Qi had appeared too suddenly. In a flash, he was already by Chen Guo's side. It was too late to kill Chen Guo now.

"Surround him!" Chuyun Xiong roared.

Over a hundred samurai encircled Yang Qi, but he remained calm and composed, as if he hadn't even seen them.

Chuyun Xiong pressed the fruit knife to Chen Baixiang's neck and sneered, "I didn't expect you to actually have the guts to come, and all alone, no less. I'll admit, I'm a little impressed! For that, I've decided to grant you the mercy of an intact corpse!"
