Chapter 145: President Stewed in an Iron Pot
"Brother, you must go save Sister Lin Xi!" Ado said with a face full of worry.
"Alright." Su Chen nodded.
Doesn't that go without saying? That's his wife.
Of course he's going to save her!
Tongluo Village is also one of the Zhuang Clan's villages, neighboring Yangquan Village.
Likewise, they also worship the Yin God.
No wonder there were three extra Ghost Masters.
Turns out, these three Ghost Masters were from Tongluo Village.
They must have known that their cover was blown, and the Ghost Masters of Yangquan Village must have secretly contacted the Ghost Masters of Tongluo Village.
Su Chen immediately rode non-stop towards Tongluo Village.
Literally on a horse.
As a nomadic tribe, they naturally wouldn't be without horses.
Hoping that nothing would happen to Lin Xi, if even a single hair on Lin Xi's head was harmed, then Tongluo Village, prepare to endure the wrath of the Death God.
Tongluo Village was bustling with activity.
All the villagers of Tongluo Village had gathered in the plaza.
In the center of the plaza, a gorgeous woman in her twenties was suspended high in mid-air.
Below the beauty, a large iron pot with a diameter of two meters stood over a fire, with flames rising underneath. The water inside had already started to bubble ferociously and was on the verge of boiling.
Once the rope was cut, the beauty would fall precisely into the large iron pot.
They were in the midst of conducting a very significant ceremony.
An iron pot... stewing a CEO!
Oh, wrong, it's a sacrificial ritual.
"Let me go! I am the CEO of Yimena, worth billions!"
"Harm me, and you'll suffer terrible consequences."
The beauty kept shouting.
Sadly, no one paid her any attention.
"The Ghost Master has spoken, this is a servant of the Demon, what do you think we should do?" a man in his thirties spoke up.
He was the Big Landlord of Tongluo Village.
The ceremony, presided by him.
"Kill her, kill her!"
The shouts were thunderous.
"Very good, the auspicious time has arrived, prepare to start the sacrificial ritual," said the Big Landlord of Tongluo Village as he glanced at the boiling water in the pot and nodded.
Seeing the roiling water in the pot and feeling the heat wave from the steam, Lin Xi was finally afraid.
Before this, she didn't believe these people would dare do anything to her.
Now it seems, they really dare.
They're just a bunch of barbarians.
They don't care if you're a beauty or a CEO, whether your net worth is several hundred million or several billion.
Discuss after boiling you in an iron pot.
It's just about letting her die, nothing else.
But she was so beautiful, if she were to be tossed into the pot to be stewed, how gruesome would her death look?
And it would surely be very painful, right?
Wuu wuu, I don't want to die.
Even a goddess CEO, accustomed to making big decisions that affect many people's entire lives, was now trembling with fear.
You've got to be kidding.
That's boiling water we are talking about.
Lin Xi's greatest fear was pain.
Now she didn't care about the dyeing technology anymore, as long as she could get away from this terrifying place...
"Help! Su Chen, you bastard, can't you even kill a bear? Come save me quickly!"
"Su Chen, damn you, if you don't show up, your CEO will... will... be cooked alive!"
At this moment, Lin Xi wasn't sure whether she could call Su Chen out or not, but she shouted anyway.
Actually, she knew that she was most likely doomed today.
It was just a way to distract herself and alleviate her fear.
"Stop yelling, even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to save you!"
The Big Landlord of Tongluo Village sneered and cut the rope suspending Lin Xi.
The delicate beauty CEO, with her graceful figure, immediately fell towards the large iron pot.
"Ah... Su! CEO orders you to come out right now, as long as you save me...!"
Lin Xi was utterly terrified.
Just then, a horse's neigh pierced the air.
Next, a steed appeared from nowhere, leaping over the heads of the dense crowd of Zhuang villagers.
A figure shot up and swiftly caught Lin Xi in his arms.
Snap!
The two of them then securely landed on the saddle.
"Ah ah ah!" Even though she was on horseback, Lin Xi kept on screaming.
"Hey, wife, stop screaming, my eardrum is about to burst!" If it wasn't for the fact that one hand was holding Lin Xi and the other was grasping the reins, Su Chen would have wished to cover Lin Xi's mouth.
Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Xi suddenly opened her eyes to find Su Chen holding her, and she was overwhelmed with joy.
For the first time, she found Su Chen pleasing to the eyes and felt a deep affection for him. If it wasn't for the awkward position, she would have kissed Su Chen.
"Well, wife, I just heard you say something about any position, choosing any... Is that true?" Looking at the CEO beauty in his arms who was still pale from fright but undeniably stunning, Su Chen swallowed hard.
"I didn't say that, you heard wrong. I didn't say anything just now!" Lin Xi had spoken those words thinking she was doomed, blurting out without thinking.
Now, of course, she couldn't admit to it.
"Oh..." Su Chen made an "oh" sound, then glanced over at the still dazed Big Landlord and said, "Hey, is the water in that pot still hot?"
"Are you trying to die!" Lin Xi knew Su Chen was trying to scare her and pinched him on the waist.
Instantly, Su Chen grimaced in pain.
"This man is an accomplice of the Demon; we mustn't let him get away!" At this point, the Big Landlord of Tongluo Village finally snapped out of it.
Clang clang clang!
The Zhuang Clan was well-known for their hunting prowess.
Almost everyone carried a knife.
In an instant, they drew their knives.
Out of the corner of her eye, Lin Xi caught this scene, and her heart was thrown into disarray again.
Although she was now saved from being stewed in the big iron pot, could Su Chen really escape from here with her?
There were hundreds of Zhuang villagers here. ReadersupportatM*VLEM*PYRmadethistranslationpossible.
Her heart, just relaxed, weighed down once again.
Su Chen also frowned slightly.
The reason for the super long-distance jump just now was because the horse itself was already running at high speed. Now that they had stopped, taking off at breakneck speed was nearly impossible.
Moreover, before, the horse was carrying just him, and now it was burdened with two people.
Although Lin Xi wasn't heavy, it definitely made a difference.
There were hundreds of Zhuang villagers around them, all armed.
Melee weapons were fine, but the Archers were problematic.
How could they possibly break through?
If it was just Su Chen, he could escape easily.
It seemed like there was only one thing to do...
Su Chen's gaze turned icy as he spoke to Lin Xi, "Wife, hold on to the saddle tightly."
Having said that, he kicked the horse's belly fiercely, urging the steed to charge forward.
However, due to the surrounding villagers, the distance it could get a running start was very short.
Obviously, with such a short distance, the horse couldn't carry the weight of two people across a span of five to six meters.
Therefore, as soon as the horse broke into a run, Su Chen jumped off its back.
At the same time, several arrows whistled through the air.
Luckily, since the horse had already started running, it avoided the Arrows.
