Chapter 143 - Submission!

Hearing this, Zhou Yu did not immediately take action.

He had originally planned to deal directly with the Hu Family, but then he suddenly remembered the conversation he had just had with Zhao Heng.

Yancheng had seven major families.

Although the Hu Family was at the bottom, it was still one of the seven major families.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

If he simply killed them off, there would likely be a lot of trouble.

Zhou Yu wasn’t afraid of these troubles coming to him; he was worried that if he pushed these people too hard, they might go after Lin Luoluo’s family, catching them off guard.

If he changed his approach, perhaps it would be better.

Thinking this, Zhou Yu said indifferently,

“I don’t have to kill you, but from now on, your Hu Family must submit to me and serve me.”

“What?” Hu Pingchang was furious.

His Hu Family, one of the great seven families, was actually asked to submit to a young man.

Wasn’t this an insult?

“That’s impossible!”

Hu Pingchang roared.

“Alright, then you can die.”

Zhou Yu said, and was about to take action against Hu Zilong.

Hu Pingchang’s expression changed.

“Wait a minute.”

“I… agree.”

At the brink of death, Hu Pingchang finally put aside his pride and chose to survive.

This was, of course, also related to Zhou Yu’s cultivation level.

Among the seven great families of Yancheng, only the Liu, Lin, and Dong families had Martial Artists at the Great Innate Realm, and Zhou Yu’s strength, in his view, was already infinitely close to that of the Great Innate Realm.

Zhou Yu gave a faint smile.

“Good.”

“However, I don’t trust you.

I will plant a True Qi mark inside your body.

If you ever dare to betray me, I will kill you instantly.”

After speaking, Zhou Yu raised his hand and tapped on Hu Pingchang’s head.

A stream of True Qi instantly entered Hu Pingchang’s body and hid itself.

Hu Pingchang’s face turned pale, filled with despair.

“Thank you… Mr.

Zhou for your mercy.”

Zhou Yu nodded.

“Alright, you can go now.”

“Clean up his body and take it away.”

“Yes.”

Hu Pingchang dejectedly had someone tidy up Mr.

Fang’s body.

After cleaning up, Hu Pingchang handed Zhou Yu some items.

“Mr.

Zhou, these were found on Mr.

Fang, I’ll hand them over to you.”

His action was actually an attempt to please Zhou Yu.

Now that he was controlled by Zhou Yu and unable to resist, he could only try his best to please Zhou Yu.

He hoped that this pleasing gesture would make Zhou Yu treat his Hu Family a bit better.

Zhou Yu nodded and accepted them.

There were two bottles of pills.

And an old, palm-sized ancient book.

Zhou Yu opened the pill bottles and took a look, then showed a hint of surprise.

“Good stuff indeed!”

“It seems Mr.

Fang also had a deep research on medicine refining.”

As for the ancient book, Zhou Yu opened it and took a look.

It was filled with dense symbols.

Although he didn’t understand what they meant, being carried around by him, it must have been something important.

Zhou Yu put away the items, then looked at Hu Zilong.

“Apart from poisoning Zhao Fei’er and Ye Ling, did you do anything else?”

At this point, Hu Zilong, who feared Zhou Yu like a tiger, dared not lie and immediately shook his head,

“No, absolutely not, I hadn’t even managed to do anything else!”

Zhou Yu said indifferently,

“Where did you get the poison?”

“It was given by Mr.

Fang.”

It was indeed him.

Zhou Yu showed no surprise.

He said indifferently,

“Just this once, not again.

If I ever find you using such despicable stuff again, you will die a very ugly death.”

Hu Zilong’s head shook like a rattling drum.

“I dare not, I will never dare again.”

“Alright, you can go now.

If there’s anything, I will notify you.”

“Yes, Mr.

Zhou.”

Hu Pingchang and Hu Zilong left in a disheveled manner.

After the Hu Family left, Zhou Yu turned to look at Ye Ling.

“Now it’s all settled.

The Hu Family won’t trouble you anymore.”

Ye Ling had witnessed the entire event, and her perception of Zhou Yu had completely changed.

Zhou Yu was incredibly powerful.

So powerful that she couldn’t even describe it with words.

Anyway, she had never even heard of a youngster more talented than Zhou Yu, let alone seen one.

She really didn’t know what Lin Luoluo was thinking.

Seeing that Ye Ling was staring blankly at him, Zhou Yu waved his hand.

“Ye Ling, are you alright?”

Ye Ling snapped out of it, her face flushing red as she hurriedly said,

“I’m alright.”

“By the way, I didn’t manage to detoxify you before; there should still be some toxins in your body.

If you need it, I can help you detoxify now.”

“I need it, of course I need it.”

Ye Ling hurriedly said.

“Then I’ll trouble you.”

Zhou Yu waved his hand, “No need to mention it.”

“I’ll check first.”

After speaking, Zhou Yu grabbed Ye Ling’s wrist and started checking.

A moment later, Zhou Yu slightly furrowed his brow.

The poison in Ye Ling was much deeper than that in Zhao Fei’er.

Handling it would not be as simple as detoxifying Zhao Fei’er.

Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment, then said,

“To detoxify, you’ll need to take off your clothes.”

“What?” Ye Ling’s face instantly turned crimson, and she looked down shyly.

She had never been seen by another man in her life.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu said,

“If you feel it’s inappropriate, then I can refer you to Bencao Tang in Yancheng, where Divine Doctor Li De’an can treat you with acupuncture.

However, it might be slower, taking about a month.”

Ye Ling took a deep breath.

“Can you… turn around first?”
