Into The Sky

Seven days had passed since Xu Chen entered the room. Ten days had passed, fifteen days had passed, and twenty days had passed. Xu Chen's door had never been opened.

Xu Shengyan sat outside the door. Her white clothes and boots were dirty, and her face was the same as that little kitten's.

Even so, the white bag in her hand was clean, as if she had just wrapped it.

Xu Chen did not come out, nor did Xu Shengyan break the jade in her bag. She just sat there blankly, waiting for him at the door of his room.

Xu Shengyan knew what would happen if she crushed that jade, but she didn't want to, nor would she.

This was because Xu Chen had said that he would come out and find her as soon as he came out of seclusion. She was afraid that Xu Chen wouldn't be able to find her, so she had to wait for him to come out.

"Dong Dong …"

There was a knock on the door as a sharp voice called out, "Dear guest, you should pay for the room."

Xu Shengyan heard the sound. This person had come several times already, but she never opened the door. She was afraid that people would disturb Xu Chen, and also afraid that people would bully her again.

The current Xu Shengyan felt like she had returned to the time she was a wanderer, without any sense of security.

In this world, anyone could bully her, so she was afraid to face the people of this world.

"Guest?" The shop owner shouted several times and then stayed there for a long time. When he heard no response, he finally heard the sound of footsteps walking into the distance.

However, not long after, the sound of footsteps could be heard outside the door, followed by a rough voice roaring from outside.

"Hey, listen up. If you don't come out soon, we're going to smash the door!"

"Clap clap!" Someone was knocking on the door crazily, shouting, "Hurry up and answer! If you don't, you're really going to smash the door!"

Hearing that he was about to smash the door, Xu Shengyan placed the white package on the table and then ran to open the door, wanting to stop them from disturbing Xu Chen.

However, the moment Xu Shengyan opened the door, five to six big men rushed in with sticks in their hands. The tall and sturdy man in the lead had tough muscles.

In the winter, he wore a short jacket that revealed his chest hair. He was obviously a martial artist.

The man had a full beard and a long scar on his face. He looked very frightening.

"Brat, Grandpa shouted so many times outside yet he still didn't make a sound. He's courting death!" The knife-scarred man stepped forward and threw Xu Shengyan to the ground.

Xu Shengyan was frightened to death. This reminded her of what happened the day before yesterday. She trembled in fear and instinctively moved towards Xu Chen's room.

"Hey, kid, why aren't you saying anything? You're mute!" The knife-scarred man smashed the stick onto the ground: "Hurry up and call out your master. If you don't have enough money to pay for the room, quickly pack up and get out of here!"

"F * ck, it really is a little mute, bad luck!" The knife-scarred man saw Xu Shengyan trembling on the ground without saying a word and did not ask any further. Instead, he called out to his men.

"Go and find her! Is there anyone else who would sell her valuable items to a brothel to repay her debt?!"

As soon as the knife-scarred man gave the command, the men under his command immediately began to search. Xu Chen's door was also kicked open.

As for the scar-faced man, he noticed the package that Xu Shengyan left on the table and he wanted to get it.

However, the moment he reached out his hand, Xu Shengyan rushed over and tightly grabbed his hand. She viciously bit his hand and even bit him until he bled.

"Ahh, brat, you are looking to die!" The scar-faced man screamed out in pain and slapped Xu Shengyan's face.

Xu Shengyan was knocked onto the ground and she spat out blood. She couldn't even stand up, but she still desperately crawled to the feet of the scarred man, grabbed his feet, and fiercely bit him!

Xu Shengyan wanted to stop the scar-faced man from touching the bag, even if she had to risk her life, because that was what Xu Chen had given her!

"If you want to die, then don't blame me!" The scar-faced man was so angry that he kicked Xu Shengyan's stomach.

Xu Shengyan's weak body shot out like a bow, directly hitting the wall and spitting out a mouthful of blood, fainting on the spot.

"Hmph, you ungrateful fool!" The knife-scarred man opened the package after seeing that everyone had fainted.

In the knife-scarred man's eyes, a jade token, a letter, and a small booklet, with nothing of value, were all thrown towards the unconscious Xu Shengyan.

"A few worthless things are so desperate!"

"Big brother, there's a dead man here!" Just as the scar-faced man was getting restless, the person who had barged into Xu Chen's room called out to him.

"He's either a mute or a dead person, what f * cking bad luck!" The scar-faced man spat out and rushed into Xu Chen's room while cursing.

At this moment, Xu Chen was sitting on his bed with a pale face. There was no blood on his face, no breath, and his entire body was ice-cold and stiff. It seemed as if he had just died a few hours ago.

"I've never seen a dead person before!" The knife-scarred man saw that the teenager on the bed was already dead. He scolded his subordinates and said: "Do you want me to teach you how to carry him out?"

"Big brother, are we going to bury him?" The man under the knife-scarred man asked carefully.

"Burying my ass, just throw it on the street. Buried whoever you like, we don't care if you bury us or not!" The scar-faced man waved his hand impatiently and said: "And that little mute, throw him out too!"

"Big brother, didn't you say you were going to send that girl to a brothel?" The subordinate reminded him.

"After getting beaten up like this, what are you still pretending for? Later, you guys better throw them a little further away." The knife-scarred man commanded.

Just like that, the stiff Xu Chen and the unconscious Warm Jade were carried out by these men. These men were too lazy to bother with them, so they casually threw them into the alley beside the street.

Thus, the number of people at the mouth of the alleyway increased. They were not afraid of death, as this was a common sight in the East Peak Mainland. Of course, there were also people who recognized Xu Chen and Xu Shengyan.

"Isn't that the youth from the day before yesterday?"

"How did he die?"

"Maybe he was murdered for his wealth."

"Sigh, who's kind enough to find a place to bury them?" A white-bearded old man couldn't bear to see the corpses of Xu Chen and the rest thrown outside.

However, no one paid any attention to this old man. To them, they were just watching for fun. There would be people that would come and clean up their corpses.

"Big sis Xiao Yue, look over there, what are they doing? It's so lively." Outside the crowd, a few young ladies were shopping, and they saw the situation over here.

The girl in the lead was Su Xiaoyue, who had separated from Xu Chen a while ago. Their prey had been sold yesterday.

Today, the sisters had come out to play, but they didn't expect to see such a lively scene.

"Come, let's go in and take a look. Maybe someone has hunted some good things." Su Xiao Yue's eyes lit up as she squeezed into the crowd.

Su Xiao Yue was small, so she easily squeezed into the crowd.

Amongst the crowd, Su Xiaoyue heard something about someone dying or burying someone, but she didn't pay much attention to it.

However, when Su Xiao Yue pushed her way to the front and found the pale-faced teenager and a little girl lying together, she covered her mouth in surprise.

"Xu Chen!"

Su Xiaoyue had not expected to meet Xu Chen under such circumstances, even though she had only met him once.

However, Xu Chen had said that they were friends and Su Xiao Yue considered Xu Chen her friend. Thus, Su Xiao Yue didn't think too much and rushed in.

Su Xiaoyue checked his body and found that Xu Chen was frozen and lifeless. She didn't expect her friend who she had just met would die just like that. She felt a little sad.

Fortunately, Su Xiao Yue checked on the little girl again and found that she still had some faint energy to her.

"A Ke, come in quickly and help." Su Xiao Yue called for her sister to help.

Xu Chen was dead, and Su Xiaoyue couldn't do anything about it. However, the little girl still had her breath, so she should try her best to save her. After all, she was still a living being.

Of course, if Xue Sheng were to see this scene, Xu Chen would definitely feel incredulous. Because when the fire poison erupted, Xu Chen would definitely turn into ashes and he would not be able to leave behind a corpse.
