Chapter 63: Furious Wrath, Annihilate the Jiang Family!

Before daybreak, a large bowl of blood was drained from Lu Fan. Jiang Nanping looked at the crimson liquid like a famished wolf.

"Lu Fan, to think you've hidden the fact that you are a medicine-man for all these years. You really kept us at arm's length. Don't worry, we won't kill you; we'll only be taking some blood every day."

Lu Fan clenched his fists. He looked even more frail, with dark, bruised circles under his eyes, and a cold smirk played on his lips. "Jiang Nanping, my blood isn't something just anyone can consume."

Those who drank his blood would have to pay with their lives.

"No wonder that silly girl from the Lin family was so affectionate toward you. Turns out you are a treasure trove from head to toe. If you're banking on her to rescue you, you can stop dreaming. The news of your death in a car crash has already spread. No one can save you. For the rest of your life, you'll lie like a maggot in this dark corner until you die."

Lu Fan was too exhausted, so he didn't utter a word.

He simply found it utterly ridiculous.

His vital flame was not extinguished; Lin Ziyu would soon discover the truth, and at that time, the Jiang family's lies would collapse on their own.

Lu Fan's only worry right now was that Lin Ziyu would blow the matter out of proportion and summon his other senior martial sisters to cause a massive uproar.

He really didn't want to trouble his senior sisters.

Not only were these senior sisters exceptionally beautiful, but their tempers and personalities also varied greatly; the only thing they shared was an identical devotion to pampering him.

Even his icy second senior sister—back when he was merely bitten by a snake in the back mountains as a child—had personally gone up the mountain to wipe out the snake nest, slaughtering hundreds of venomous snakes and forcing the snake king to pack up and flee overnight.

Forget about biting him, even if anything within a radius of dozens of miles caught a whiff of Lu Fan's scent, it would detour around him.

The Jiang family wouldn't kill him, but if things dragged on like this, the Jiang family would be finished.

Standing on the brink of doom, the Jiang family had no inkling of what was about to happen. They were immersed in the frantic joy of obtaining Lu Fan's blood.

Old Master Jiang even planned to stockpile Lu Fan's blood for the entire family to drink first, before eventually having his blood transferred into his own body.

That morning, a bowl of scarlet, fresh blood was brought before Jiang Rushan.

"Dad, what is this? I'm not drinking it."

"Good son, this is marvelous stuff. Drink it, and your illness will get better."

"Really? Isn't my brother-in-law supposed to be giving me acupuncture?"

"This is much more effective than acupuncture."

Upon seeing this scene, Jiang Ruxue understood instantly and rushed forward fiercely. "What have you done to Lu Fan? Clearly, he had already agreed to save my younger brother; why take his blood?"

"You absolute fool. Since Lu Fan is a medicine-man and you didn't even know how to exploit him, wasting five years in vain, we naturally have to make up for it."

Hearing that this was Lu Fan's blood, Jiang Rushan frowned. "Take it away, take it away! Do you take me for some monster that drinks blood, asking me to drink this stuff? It's utterly disgusting!"

"My good son, your sister is a good-for-nothing freeloader, but we wouldn't even bear to let her drink this. Hurry up and drink it; it's a huge tonic and it's good for your health."

Madam Jiang also walked in. "That's right, son. Look at Mom's skin—hasn't it become a lot more moisturized? After drinking this medicine, I feel like my whole body is much more comfortable."

Jiang Ruxue took two steps back. "Mom, you drank it too?"

Madam Jiang patted her cheek nonchalantly. "So what? Even your grandfather and grandmother drank it. If it weren't for the fact that too much fresh blood can't be drawn in a single day, I'd even want to bathe in his blood. It would definitely make me ten years younger."

Jiang Ruxue covered her lips. She knew her family members were ruthless, but how many people in business nowadays were clean? Only at this moment did she realize that the Jiang family was rotten to the core!

No, she had to rescue Lu Fan. If things continued like this, Lu Fan would die.

"How could you treat him like this? He is a human being!"

"Such typical feminine weakness."

Jiang Ruxue ran toward the outside, only to run straight into Old Master Jiang. "Where are you going? I have already announced Lu Fan's death to the outside world. From now on, there is no such person in the Jiang family. Don't you dare go stirring up trouble for me. Someone, escort the young miss back to her room. Without my orders, she is not allowed to step a foot outside."

"Grandfather, you can't treat Lu Fan like this. He saved the Jiang family's life and brought the family back from the brink of destruction. Doing this is unprincipled, and you will be met with retribution!"

A bodyguard struck her directly, knocking her unconscious, and Jiang Ruxue's body slumped softly to the ground.

"All right, my good grandson, drink up. Grandfather won't hurt you."

Jiang Rushan could also sense the changes in his family, but he didn't dare resist and could only obediently drink the blood.

At first, he felt some psychological resistance and found it disgusting.

Yet as the blood flowed across his lips and teeth, there was no fishy stench at all; instead, it tasted somewhat sweet, carrying a faint herbal aroma that cleared the mind and refreshed the brain.

It was actually more delicious than fine wine, and a trace of craving surfaced in the depths of his eyes. "Dad, is there more?"

"Silly son, now you know this is good stuff, don't you? Don't be impatient; if we kill him off, we won't be able to drink any more in the future. Take it slow."

Jiang Rushan felt a lingering fear. "Sister wasn't wrong, though. What we're doing is biting the hand that feeds us. Isn't that a bit bad?"

"Fool. All is fair in love and war, and every man for himself. You just need to remember that your brother-in-law died in an accidental car crash. No matter who asks, don't slip up. From now on, there is only one medicine-man in our family supplying us with blood."

The Lin family.

When Lin Ziyu woke up once more, her emotions had gradually calmed down.

She looked at the bodyguard with chilliness in her eyes. "Did Lu Fan really die?"

"I went to the scene to check. The crash was horrific; a large truck smashed the small car to pieces, crushing and deforming it, and the person was also... The Jiang family hauled him away for cremation on the spot. Because Mr. Lu was merely a matrilocal son-in-law, the Jiang family didn't even bother to pick a lucky date before rushing his burial."

Hearing this, a flash of coldness swept across Lin Ziyu's face.

Something was wrong!

Her judgment had been clouded by the initial shock earlier. She punched in a sequence of numbers.

Just as it was about to hang up, an icy voice rang in her ear: "Divination and fortune-telling, a thousand pieces of gold per reading."

"Second Junior Sister, never mind a thousand pieces of gold; even ten thousand, I must trouble you. Junior little brother is in trouble."

Only then did the person's voice carry inflection. "What?"

"Hurry up and calculate: is he alive or dead right now?"

The call was disconnected.

Little You walked out with a pale face. "Aunty, my daddy isn't dead. He's just very weak. Please go and save him; he bled so much blood."

"How do you know?"

"I saw it in a dream. He's in a basement with no sunlight. Daddy is hurt very badly!"

Simultaneously, the phone rang again.

Second Junior Sister's voice came through: "Junior little brother's life is not in immediate danger, but the hexagram indicates that he is trapped in a desperate plight, fighting like a cornered beast. Did trouble befall him on your turf?"

"It's fine, I'm going right now to bring him back! Don't you worry."

Flames blazed in Lin Ziyu's pupils. She hung up the phone and dialed Third Master Qin's number. Gone was her previous flattery; her voice was bone-chillingly cold: "Third Master, Lu Fan is in trouble. I am going to wipe out the Jiang family, but I need you to back me up."
