Sister, please, please don't hurt Father, okay? He's a good man, sister..." Mo Mou looked like a helpless child.
She had no way to deal with this woman; her own strength was insufficient, so she could only beg her.
Over the years, this woman had always agreed to Mo Mou's requests, never refusing. But today, the woman refused.
"Sister, you are my closest relative. I don't want to kill him either, but if I don't, he will definitely kill me later. I'll agree to anything, but this is the one thing I can't agree to," the woman said earnestly.
Mo Mou was stunned. She looked at the woman pleadingly, "Sister, if you just agree to this condition, I'll listen to you in everything, no matter what."
The woman sighed, "Listen to me. You don't want your father to die, but do you want me to die too?"
The woman knew Qin Chuan was Mo Mou's adoptive father, and she was Mo Mou's sister—not blood-related, but closer than sisters.
So Mo Mou was now conflicted, torn between her adoptive father and her sister. She truly didn't know how to choose.
Qin Chuan had saved her life, but this older sister had done the same, saving Mo Mou time and again. Therefore, she now truly wished for death.
Qin Chuan's body was slowly recovering, but being struck by the Black Demon Palace Master's trump card, even with his life-saving abilities, was hampered by the overwhelming destructive power of the treasure.
Normally, after some of the damage was mitigated by the treasure, Qin Chuan's formidable defensive capabilities would have prevented serious injury, at most minor.
However, the woman's timing was perfect; she seized the crucial point, sealing off Qin Chuan's vital energy, instantly rendering his body weak and vulnerable.
It was at that moment that he was struck by the residual force of the Black Demon Palace Master's trump card. Surviving was already a miracle, thanks to Qin Chuan's exceptionally strong body.
Although not in mortal danger, he was severely injured, his combat power drastically reduced, and the impending crisis was growing ever stronger.
The Black Demon Palace Master, who had previously felt he had narrowly escaped death, now finally realized it was the woman who had intervened; otherwise, even his trump card would have been ineffective against Qin Chuan.
Seeing Qin Chuan's weakened state, he naturally wanted to kill him as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications that could lead to his own annihilation.
"Will you make the move, or should I?" the Black Demon Palace Master said with a smile.
He was speaking in favor of the woman.
The woman didn't look at the Black Demon Palace Master, but at Qin Chuan. She and the Black Demon Palace Master had never been intertwined before, and they never would be. At most, if she wanted to destroy the Black Demon Palace, she could do so later.
"Sister..." Dark eyes looked at the woman unwillingly.
Qin Chuan's body had recovered two or three-tenths of its strength, and he calmed down slightly. He had been studying the mysterious demonic energy within his body.
This was a spiritual demonic energy left by the woman, controlled by her, which explained why she could suddenly control Qin Chuan's destiny.
It was practically impossible to defend against, but Qin Chuan possessed the Nine Divine Dragons and the Dragon Spirit, and most importantly, he seemed very interested in this spiritual demonic energy.
However, Qin Chuan is currently very weak and doesn't know how to deal with the situation. He is not worried about the Black Demon Palace Master in front of him, but rather about the Demon within a Demon behind him.
