497: Su Qingge's determination to protect my weak little husband~~

1500 kilometers away, on a small island filled with bloody slaughter.

Su Qingge, who was just labeled as 'unable to care for herself, as weak as a willow', threw away the dried corpse of a man in her hand, her face filled with a crazed satisfaction.

After a night of brutal fighting, she had gradually grown accustomed to this state of life-and-death struggle, even experiencing an unprecedented thrill from it.

That thrill, like drug addiction, made her unconsciously indulge and become addicted.

And her cultivation also rapidly increased during this period.

If an outsider were present, they would surely be astonished to perceive that the aura within this young girl had already reached the Peak of Inner Strength.

Once the outside world learned of this, she would undoubtedly be given the title of a martial arts prodigy, 'rarely seen in ten thousand years'.

However, what no one knew was that this was the result of Su Qingge desperately suppressing her realm.

Otherwise, at this moment, she might have already broken through to the Grand Completion of Inner Strength...

"Master said that if I want to achieve higher accomplishments in the future, I cannot just blindly increase the quantity of Inner Strength and pursue breakthroughs in realm."

"Quality is the key; if the quality does not meet the requirements, I will only be able to stop at the Grandmaster realm in this life."

"Only by refining the bloody Inner Strength within my body to be as substantial as reality will I have the possibility of advancing further and reaching the pinnacle of martial arts."

It was precisely based on such considerations that Su Qingge desperately suppressed her breakthrough speed; she wanted to take one step at a time, steadily forge her own invincible path.

Only by becoming so powerful that no one could rival her could she break free from her Master's control and protect the cherished people around her...

"That... Big Sister, boohoo... thank you for saving me."

"If it weren't for you, I might have been violated by that man just now, boohoohoo... It's so scary here, Big Sister, can you get me out of here?"

At this moment, a tearful female voice appeared, interrupting Su Qingge's thoughts.

She turned her head and saw a sweet and cute, black-haired, straight-haired, doll-faced girl whose appearance seemed to be... not yet an adult.

She was approaching her, her face covered in tears, panicked and crying for protection.

Seeing this, a hint of pity flashed across Su Qingge's face, and she smiled and nodded, beckoning.

When the doll-faced girl was only one step away from her... Rip—

Su Qingge's captivating smile remained, but the sharpened branch in her hand instantly jabbed at the girl's face, directly bursting her eyeball, and blood splattered all over Su Qingge.

"Ah ah ah—"

The doll-faced girl clearly hadn't expected to be ambushed and immediately let out a shrill scream.

But Su Qingge still smiled, her hand strengthening, and the sharp branch instantly pierced through the doll-faced girl's head, taking her life.

Clang—

Ignoring the sharp dagger that fell from the doll-faced girl's hand.

Su Qingge circulated her cultivation technique, and soon, wisps of crimson blood energy gradually floated from the doll-faced girl's body into her own.

In an instant, Su Qingge's entire eyes turned red.

Endless pleasure enveloped her whole body, making her unable to help but groan.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Qingge threw away the dried corpse in her hand, her body constantly entwined with crimson blood energy.

Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill—

At this moment, her brain seemed to be completely controlled by some kind of killing instinct.

Just as she was about to lose her mind...

Her peripheral vision caught sight of the jade pendant on her chest, and a certain man's face and smile instantly appeared before her eyes.

"Lin... Xuan..."

Su Qingge murmured, the viciousness in her eyes gradually replaced by clarity.

After completely calming down, Su Qingge grasped the jade pendant around her neck, her lips filled with tenderness.

"Lin Xuan, thank you."

"When I return home, I will definitely come back to see you. When I become strong enough, I will be able to protect you..."

"For this, even if I have to slaughter more lives, and pay a greater price, I will not hesitate."

Su Qingge bit her lips tightly, her resolute voice echoing in the silent forest, carrying immense determination and resolve.

In order to allow that frail, helpless man to live a safe, healthy, and happy life.

She was willing to pay any price, even if it meant bearing infamy for eternity, even if it meant devouring countless lives to obtain that powerful protective force, she would not hesitate...

Afterward.

Su Qingge carefully re-donned the jade pendant, then unhesitatingly stepped into the jungle, preparing to begin a new round of life-and-death struggle...
