C12 Rushing Her.

With the clash of metal, a powerful hand seized Ye Meier's wrist!

"What!" Ye Mei's face turned ashen. She couldn't fathom how Chu Qing could move so swiftly, especially since she hadn't detected any energy fluctuations from him!

Ye Meier's complexion went deathly pale. She was taken aback that the seemingly frail man before her had effortlessly thwarted her attack! Her arm was now immobile, gripped as if in a vice of iron!

"Do you still wish to bed me now?" Chu Qing taunted with a wicked grin.

He then exerted a surge of force in his grip, causing Ye Meier's hand to subtly contort. Chu Qing, unfazed by the beauty before him, showed no intention of mercy.

"Enough. Stop!" Ye Mei exclaimed, surprised. As Chu Qing harnessed Spiritual Energy, she sensed an ominous power emerge within him, suggesting his cultivation might match her own.

"This can't be!" A fierce look flashed in Ye Meier's eyes. She launched a kick at Chu Qing, her high heel glinting with a concealed blade!

Chu Qing's gaze turned cold. Was this woman actually trying to kill him?

With a swift motion, Chu Qing blocked her kick. The next moment, his left hand, aglow with Astral Energy, formed a fist and struck Ye Meier's abdomen!

Ye Meier coughed up blood and was sent reeling through the air!

Chu Qing inspected his left hand. His intent to kill had been fierce; had he not moderated his strength, Ye Meier's organs could have been pulverized!

"Ye Chenxi, what a fearsome man you've brought home!" Ye Mei steadied Ye Meier, her eyes seething as she glared at Ye Chenxi and Chu Qing.

"Mrs. Ye, it's your daughter who's frightening. They were merely sparring, and she had a knife in her shoe?"

Chu Qing wiped his hands as though he had touched something vile, then took Ye Chenxi's hand.

"Better get your daughter medical attention fast. Otherwise, I can't promise she won't suffer from internal damage!" Chu Qing warned Ye Mei.

Upon Chu Qing's advice, Ye Mei felt Ye Meier's abdomen and was consumed by rage. She hadn't anticipated the severity of Chu Qing's strike, which had driven a torrent of Genuine Qi into Ye Meier's body, now ravaging her kidneys!

"You're vicious!" Ye Mei shot Chu Qing a venomous look and signaled to the two women in black to carry Ye Meier away.

"Chu Qing, are you okay?" Ye Chenxi asked, her concern for him evident.

Chu Qing gave a slight shake of his head. Ye Meier had been too weak; he hadn't needed to exert his full strength. Had she not attempted to end his life with the knife, he wouldn't have struck so harshly.

"I'm fine. Let's check on your mother."

As they walked, Chu Qing replenished his Spiritual Energy. With Ye Mei gone, no one from the Ye family dared to obstruct them – not many would challenge the Ye family's eldest daughter.

Just then, a woman approached them, her attire a business suit and gold-rimmed glasses lending her an air of sophistication.

"Second Aunt!" Ye Chenxi greeted.

"Chenxi, you've finally arrived!" Urgency filled the woman's eyes.

"Where's my mom?"

"She's safe, don't worry. We've been looking after her. But we can't take Ye Mei's influence lightly. For now, we've managed to keep your mother out of harm's way." Ye Chenxi's Second Aunt embraced her, her voice laced with concern.

It was then that Second Aunt caught sight of Chu Qing standing behind Ye Chenxi, prompting her to ask with a hint of suspicion, "And who might this be?"

"Second Aunt, he's a friend of mine. I was just attacked, and he came to my rescue."

Second Aunt gave a nod, though her expression betrayed a touch of disapproval. She was familiar with Ye Chenxi's character and suspected that Chu Qing might be more than just a friend, perhaps even a romantic interest.

"I'll bring you to your mother. But your friend here..."

"I'd like to join you," interjected Chu Qing.

"What?" The displeasure in Second Aunt's tone grew more pronounced.
