Due to being seriously injured, to avoid any further complications, Chen Xiaobei sent a text message to those female friends before getting into the car, asking them to leave Villa No. 2 first.

After all, Chen Xiaobei now had no strength left, and simply couldn't continue absorbing the Mysterious Yin Energy. He could only start with a herbal bath to strengthen the foundation and nourish the origin.

Luckily, there was Ye Shanhe, that idiot transport captain, otherwise Chen Xiaobei couldn't have gotten so many precious herbs.

"Help me into the villa, then go to the bathroom and prepare the water for me. I'm too seriously injured and can only recover through a herbal bath!"

As soon as he got off the car, Chen Xiaobei put his arm around Chu Hongyu's small waist and said weakly. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Since there were no outsiders around, Chu Hongyu had restored her naturally stunning appearance.

But her pretty face was as pale as wax, and she said speechlessly, "Chen Xiaobei, are you kidding me? You're lucky enough that I brought you back. Are you really treating me like a maid?"

Despite her words, Chu Hongyu still helped Chen Xiaobei into the bathroom, personally prepared the bath water, and then poured all the herbs into the bathtub.

"The water's ready, you can bathe yourself."

As she spoke, Chu Hongyu was about to leave.

"Don't leave!"

Chen Xiaobei said speechlessly, "Chu Hongyu, as the saying goes, once you start helping, help all the way. Do you think I have the strength to undress and bathe myself?"

"Have some decency, at least help me get undressed before you leave!"

"Chen Xiaobei, you—you're so outrageous!"

Chu Hongyu was hopping mad, she was a respectable young lady, how could she undress this guy?

But Chen Xiaobei managed to give a small smile and said, "What's outrageous or not? Haven't we done more outrageous things before? Our relationship might not be that close, but you somehow qualify as half my girlfriend, right?"

"Quickly, help me, I really can't do it!"

"Cough cough cough—"

Chen Xiaobei wasn't lying, there was fresh blood seeping from the corner of his mouth again.

"What kind of talk is that!"

Chu Hongyu was quite frustrated, but after all, Chen Xiaobei was severely injured. In order to fulfill her goal of personally killing him, Chu Hongyu snorted coldly and, with some clattering noises, undressed Chen Xiaobei and tossed him into the bathtub.

But just as she was about to leave, Chen Xiaobei spoke again,

"By the way, have you bathed in the past two days? Why not take one too? Otherwise, if you start smelling, it wouldn't be good."

"Chen Xiaobei!!!!"

Chu Hongyu's eyes were filled with anger, "Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?"

"Angry? No way! I was just joking, is it that serious?"

Chen Xiaobei rolled his eyes at her, playfully saying, "Alright, I was teasing you. When I was lying on your lap earlier, you smelled so nice, if it wasn't for my severe injuries, I wanted to take a few licks!"

"Ah! You, shut up!"

Chu Hongyu's pretty face turned red again.

It truly fits the saying, shameless people are invincible.

Probably only Chen Xiaobei could say such disgusting things.

But admittedly, it was somewhat pleasing to hear, and with a cold snort, the anger in Chu Hongyu's heart disappeared.

"Alright, go ahead with your herbal bath in peace, call me if anything happens, I'll be outside!"

With these words, Chu Hongyu walked out of the bathroom.

Feeling a bit aimless, she grabbed the keys and took a tour around Chen Xiaobei's home, arriving at his bedroom, and took off her dirty clothes.

Ignoring the clothes of other women in the wardrobe, she straightforwardly changed into Chen Xiaobei's T-shirt and shorts, her graceful figure concealed within the oversized clothes.

Then she went to the kitchen and put on an apron.

Looking at the rarely used pots and pans, she frowned and said, "I've never done this before, but whatever, as long as it's not inedible."

Clumsily, she turned on the gas and started cooking rice porridge.

"Too much water? Then add more rice… Oops, added too much! Then add some more water."

After a series of operations with extra rice for more water, more water for extra rice, she looked at the pot with a sense of contemplative assurance: "It should be alright, right? Well, no one's taught me how to cook…"

She no longer had any aura of killing intent, washing away the glamour, sunlight illuminating her beautiful profile, like it's a normal day, a housewife cooking for her husband.

Suddenly, the front door swung open, with the sound of something cutting through the air, Chu Hongyu's face changed as she quickly dodged.

A sharp tree leaf dangerously skimmed past her face, a few strands of hair drifting away.

"Who's there?"

Chu Hongyu spun around, her peaceful demeanor vanished, her face full of menace.

"Looks like that bastard really is seriously injured! Finally got him at a weak moment!"

An excited voice called out.

Xu Quanrong entered from outside, he looked eagerly toward the bathroom: "I knew how could that bastard be so powerful, turns out it's from overextending his own abilities!"

"A member of the Zhou Family! Haven't you guys had enough last time? Dare to provoke Chen Xiaobei again!"

Chu Hongyu stared at him, shocked, recognizing the aura of a First-class Grandmaster, although she could confront him with Mysterious Night Fragrance, but obviously the opponent was a real Grandmaster, her chances of winning were slim.

"Heh, who are you trying to intimidate? I saw you supporting him into the villa just now…"

Chu Hongyu was instantly shocked in her heart.

Xu Quanrong, however, displayed an arrogant smile at the corner of his mouth: "I'm standing right here, let him come and kill me!"

There was no movement from the upstairs bathroom.

Xu Quanrong's smile became even more smug: "Hehe, he must be seriously injured. That kid is probably struggling to even walk, yet he dares to say he'll kill me? Now he should be begging me for mercy!"

He had finally waited for this opportunity and was eager to strike a fatal blow.

At this moment, however, Chu Hongyu stood in front of him, smiling alluringly: "You really saw through it, but as long as I'm here, I will never let you kill Chen Xiaobei!"

"You?" Xu Quanrong glanced at her, smirked mockingly, and said: "You have some looks, but as for your level... Fifth-grade Heavenly Rank?"

"But don't worry, I won't kill you. You're Chen Xiaobei's woman, right? Stay here. After I kill that bastard, I'll come and enjoy you."

But Chu Hongyu showed no intention of giving way: "Just you, Old Bideng, want to covet me? Dream on—!"

Before she could finish her words, there was a booming sound as Xu Quanrong suddenly struck, slapping Chu Hongyu fiercely!

The difference between a Grandmaster and a Fifth-grade Heavenly Rank was too vast. With just one slap, Chu Hongyu had no chance to resist, and her whole body was blasted away, vomiting blood.

"A mere Grade Five Heavenly dares to stop me? Ridiculous! If it weren't for your looks, you'd be dead by now."

Xu Quanrong scoffed disdainfully.

He held back on that slap because he intended to enjoy Chu Hongyu, not kill her.

He walked past Chu Hongyu, intending to go upstairs, but was suddenly held by someone clutching his leg.

Chu Hongyu coughed up blood, yet she grasped his pant leg tightly and said: "Old thing, you dare to use me? You're nothing compared to Chen Xiaobei!"

"Get lost!"

Xu Quanrong was enraged, kicking out and sending Chu Hongyu flying!

Chu Hongyu's whole body had bones shattered, her figure bent like a shrimp, with nearly all her internal organs crushed.

Blood relentlessly oozed from the corners of her mouth...

"Damn it, ruining my fun; after I'm done with you, I'll tear you to pieces and feed you to the dogs!"

Xu Quanrong burst into genuine fury, snorted coldly, and was about to leave.

Yet a weak voice came from behind...

"Beating people without strength, I think you're drained..."

Xu Quanrong turned his head, incredulous, looking at Chu Hongyu lying on the ground angrily: "Damn it, are you asking to die now!"

Chu Hongyu, weak as a thread, with a beautiful face full of blood, managed a grim smile and said: "Old fool, if you want to see Chen Xiaobei, you'll have to step over my dead body!"

"Ungrateful, then go die!"

Xu Quanrong lost all patience, thoroughly enraged, casually picked up a fruit knife from the table, and threw it at Chu Hongyu!

The blade glinted as Chu Hongyu was powerless to resist, yet she showed a self-mocking smile at the corner of her mouth:

"Chu Hongyu, are you sick, why didn't you run away just now?"

"Anyway, even if you could run away, you probably wouldn't have, right?"

"Damn this fate!"

Thinking this, Chu Hongyu closed her eyes...

"Xu Quanrong, you're seeking death!"

In an instant, a figure suddenly blocked in front of Chu Hongyu, grasping the fruit knife and crushing it like tissue paper.

"You..."

Xu Quanrong looked at Chen Xiaobei, stunned: "You, impossible, how are you well so soon! I get it, you were feigning again!"

He suddenly realized, smirked with disdain: "What, trying to scare me?! Just now that move must have drained all your strength didn't it, can you strike now?"

Chen Xiaobei did not answer, he simply grabbed Chu Hongyu's wrist, his complexion suddenly sinking.

Pulse weak, beyond saving!

"Are you feeling sorry for me?"

Chu Hongyu coughed up blood, laboriously looked at Chen Xiaobei's face.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have brought you back just now."

Chen Xiaobei looked at her, complex expression on his face.

"Forget it, this is fate, cough cough cough. Only, you, please, take good care of my mother—"

Chen Xiaobei's face was calm, comforting her: "You rest, I can bring you back to life, I swear I can save you!"

Chu Hongyu smiled slightly, hesitated a bit, then raised a hand to gently caress his face: "There's porridge on the stove, remember to eat."

As her words ended, her hand gradually weakened, her eyes gradually lost their sparkle, falling limp.

Chen Xiaobei silently placed her hand properly, looking at Chu Hongyu, wearing an apron, her face peaceful, suddenly realizing that she actually looked better not wearing those night clothes.

At this moment, Xu Quanrong sneered as if watching a play: "Didn't expect a cheap woman's death to cause you such pain. Seems I really killed the right person!"

Before he finished speaking.

A boom sounded as a fury-filled punch suddenly aimed at him!
