Xiuxian: Beautiful Women Like Clouds

Chapter 1135 Trapped

As Lu Hao left, the gate could no longer hold back and was forcibly blasted open by a tremendous force.

"I want to see where this adulterer is. If I catch him, I'll tear him to pieces!" A burly man stormed in, his fierce gaze sweeping across every corner of the room, not wanting to miss a single detail.

"Liu Lei, there's no adulterer here!" Madam Liu said, trying to appear calm.

"Do you really think I'm stupid? The door was locked so tightly. I shouted myself hoarse outside, but you still wouldn't open it. You must be having sex with your lover inside." Liu Lei reeked of alcohol, and his voice was filled with malice.

"Don't make false accusations!" Madam Liu's voice trembled slightly, but it was filled with stubbornness.

"Then answer me, if you weren't blinded by love inside, why didn't you open the door?" Liu Lei said angrily.

"No...no, I took a nap inside. Because of the barrier, the sound was blocked, so I didn't hear anything," Madam Liu hurriedly explained.

"Then tell me, why is the floor wet?" Liu Lei noticed very keenly.

"When you stormed in earlier, I panicked and broke a cup of tea," Madam Liu said coldly, pointing to the broken teacup.

"You wretch, stop trying to deny it! You were clearly having sex with someone in this basement!" Liu Lei angrily gripped Madam Liu's hand, almost breaking its bones.

"Don't make false accusations!" Madam Liu's beautiful eyes welled up with tears, and her face showed pain.

At this moment, Lu Hao, who was hiding in the tunnel, did not leave. He simply leaned against the wall and quietly listened to the argument outside.

"You flirtatious woman, you're craving a man, aren't you? Well then, I'll grant your wish right here!" Liu Lei forcefully tore at Madam Liu's clothes.

"No!" Madam Liu covered her delicate body and kept backing away.

"Damn it, she's all prim and proper with me, but she's all lovey-dovey with other men. She's a slut to the core, damn it." Liu Lei got angrier and angrier as he spoke, and the force in his hands increased.

"Where have I been provocative!" Madam Liu said indignantly, as if she had been greatly wronged.

"You still say you haven't? You're always flirting with those men, do you really think I'm blind?" Liu Lei said fiercely.

“You completely neglect the business of the shop, leaving it entirely to me, a weak woman. All you do is drink alcohol every day. When those men verbally harass me, do you ever stand up and say a word?” Madam Liu unleashed all the anger that had been building up inside her.

Over the years, Madam Liu has indeed kept herself pure and virtuous, but because she is too beautiful, she always attracts some people. However, Liu Lei not only protects her, but also beats her up whenever he is slightly displeased.

"You wretched woman, how dare you complain about me!" Liu Lei shoved her away forcefully, throwing Madam Liu aside like trash.

"Pfft!" Madam Liu slammed heavily against the wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"You dare to talk back to me after three days of not being disciplined!" Liu Lei grabbed Madam Liu's collar and slapped her hard across the face.

"Slap!" A clear handprint rang out, and Madam Liu covered her face and collapsed to the ground, weeping bitterly.

"I'm going to beat you to death today, you bitch!" Just as Liu Lei was about to punch and kick, a cold voice came from the tunnel.

"Release my men, or die!" Lu Hao stepped forward, his tone filled with suffocating killing intent.

"When did my wife become yours, you little beast? Just wait and see how I kill you." Liu Lei suddenly raised his head and grinned maliciously.

"Run! You're no match for him!" Madam Liu was moved to see Lu Hao come out, and hurriedly warned him.

"Escape, what a distant word. Do I even need to escape?" Lu Hao smiled calmly and casually flicked the dust off his clothes.

Both of them were deeply shocked by Lu Hao's sudden boastful words.

At this moment, Lu Hao was wearing a thin set of clothes and looked very refined. Compared with Liu Lei, who was shirtless and showing off his strong muscles, he did look rather weak.

"No wonder you like this pretty boy. I must say he's very handsome. But I'll show you, you bitch, who's stronger." After saying that, Liu Lei stomped his foot on the ground, causing it to cave in. He drew his heavy broadsword from behind him, and beams of light shot out as he slashed down at Lu Hao from above.

If it weren't for the layers of barriers here, the entire underground vault would probably have been shattered by Liu Lei's violent sword energy.

Lu Hao stood with his hands behind his back, simply watching the other person quietly, his eyes calm and still, without making any move.

"A silver spearhead that looks good but is useless, scared out of your wits, huh?" Liu Lei sneered, and then all the mysterious patterns on the broadsword burst forth with a strong light, accelerating as it slashed down towards Lu Hao's head.

"Run!" Madam Liu couldn't help but scream, while also regretting that she shouldn't have let Lu Hao get involved in her family affairs.

"Pfft!" A flurry of beautiful snowflakes splashed up, and Madam Liu couldn't help but close her beautiful eyes. She could already imagine Lu Hao's miserable end, being cleaved in two by a sword.

"You little beast, how could you... be so strong!" Liu Lei coughed up a lot of blood, his eyes wide, staring in disbelief at the man who had blocked his broadsword attack with just a single finger.

Throughout, Lu Hao remained indifferent and did not move an inch. He merely extended a finger, which was enough to shatter the void.

The broadsword in Liu Lei's hand shattered inch by inch, covered with dense cracks. At the tip of the broadsword, Lu Hao not only destroyed the opponent's magic weapon by raising a finger, but also sent terrifying power through the broadsword into Liu Lei's body.

"Pfft!" Liu Lei was sent flying, coughing up blood, his eyes filled with terror.

"You..." Madam Liu's chest heaved, revealing an unprecedented look of shock. She had never expected that her newly made friend would be so terrifyingly powerful.

"I heard you're going to kill...me." Lu Hao walked step by step to Liu Lei with intense pressure, then squatted down, looking down at him with a cold smile on his lips.

"Misunderstanding... This is all a huge misunderstanding. I was overjoyed that you were having sex with my wife, how could I possibly want to kill you?" Liu Lei's eyes were filled with malice, but he put on a humble smile.

"My relationship with your wife is innocent; some things are just misunderstandings." Lu Hao glanced at Madam Liu, not wanting to put her in a difficult position.

"I believe you are innocent... Go to hell!" Liu Lei's humble eyes suddenly turned fierce, and he leaped up and ran to the corner of the room.

"Stop him quickly! He's about to activate the formation and try to trap and kill you!" Madam Liu hurriedly warned, seeing the direction Liu Lei was rushing towards.

"You slut, you'd rather help this bastard than me? Today, I'll make you both die here!" Liu Lei's eyes flashed with ruthlessness as he rapidly spun a water spirit bead on the door.

As the Water Spirit Orb spun, six-pointed star formations instantly appeared in the room, completely sealing it off. Moreover, the formations were gradually closing in, clearly intended to trap and kill the two individuals.

"You two adulterers, you'll be trapped here to die!" Liu Lei glanced inside, slammed the heavy stone door shut without a second thought, laughed loudly, and left.

"Is there any way to break this barrier?" Lu Hao punched the barrier several times, but found that the barrier rippled like water, absorbing all his power and making it impossible to break.

"The fire bead must be rotated back from the outside, otherwise the barrier cannot be opened," Madam Liu sighed.

"Does that mean we can't get out?" Lu Hao frowned.

“This formation weakens every twelve hours. You can make your move during this time and forcefully shatter the formation,” Madam Liu said after a moment’s thought. She was clearly very familiar with the characteristics of this formation.

"Okay, then let's sit here and chat while we wait!" Lu Hao sat down cross-legged.

"That formation is very powerful. Aren't you worried that you won't be able to break through it?" Madam Liu asked, somewhat puzzled, when she saw Lu Hao's nonchalant expression.

“My strength is multifaceted; you don’t know me well enough,” Lu Hao said with a smile.

"Indeed, she is frighteningly strong." Madam Liu's beautiful eyes darted around.

The two chatted idly, and Lu Hao gained a better understanding of Madam Liu, both internally and externally.

This Madam Liu's original name was Liu Qingxue. Her husband was an abandoned child on the street when he was young. He was kindly adopted by Liu Qingxue's grandfather and given the name Liu Lei. Unfortunately, he was an ungrateful wretch. After her grandfather passed away, he not only seized the family business, but also laid hands on her whenever things didn't go his way.

With tears welling up in her eyes, Liu Qingxue showed Lu Hao the scars on her body.

"That ungrateful bastard, he'll definitely come to a bad end," Lu Hao said angrily, clenching his fists.

When Madam Liu saw Lu Hao's indignation, her heart softened considerably. Thinking that he had stood up for her, her eyes unconsciously welled up with tears, and she couldn't help but throw herself into his arms.

"After tonight, we may never have a chance to be together again. I just hope you can hold your sister tight," Madam Liu whispered, nestled in Lu Hao's arms.

"Hmm!" Lu Hao nodded slightly. The other party was a married woman, and a decent person like himself would naturally not actually take someone else's wife.

Lu Hao put aside his unhappy thoughts and began to tell some stories. He spoke so pleasantly that Liu Qingxue kept giggling.

"I really regret not meeting you sooner!" Madam Liu gazed at Lu Hao with deep affection, stroking his incomparably handsome face.

"Sigh... it's not too late to get to know each other now!" Lu Hao said with a smile.

"Let me give you a question!" Lu Hao said with a smile, trying to change the subject.

"Oh, you want to give me a question? Then I'm all ears!" Madam Liu said with a charming smile.

"Be serious!" Lu Hao said with a serious expression.

Madam Liu said this with feigned seriousness, then burst out laughing.

"What do female cultivators like most? A: Achieving great success in cultivation, B: Eternal happiness with their Daoist partner, C: Never aging." Lu Hao asked, as if he were a teacher from his past life.

"What do you mean by that? Let me test you instead. What do you like most about me? A: temperament B: ... c: figure," Madam Liu said with a smile.

"Why is B empty?" Lu Hao was a little confused. All the questions had options, so why was B the only one that was empty?

“Because my B is reserved for you to fill in!” Madam Liu looked at him intently.
