Chapter 431 She is more wronged than Dou E
Chapter 431 She is more wronged than Dou E
Yuchi Lian was standing in the deserted courtyard of Duke Ji's mansion when he saw the two evil-minded maids just coming out of Shen Wen's room.
From their conversation, we learned that the fake person they were talking about had also gone to Chu Yanqiu's yard.
So Yuchi Lian didn't delay and immediately went to Chu Yanqiu's yard.
When she arrived at Chu Yanqiu's place and saw the empty house, she suddenly had a bad feeling.
At this time, a master and servant pushed open the door and walked in slowly.
When the master and servant saw the unfamiliar Yuchi Lian, the maid cried out in surprise and immediately asked who she was.
When Yuchi Lian saw the familiar and disgusting face coming in, she waved her wide sleeves, told the noisy maid to shut up and then fell to the ground.
Yuchi Lian slowly walked to the woman, looked her up and down, and walked around her. When she stood in front of him, he suddenly smiled.
"I can't believe that you, the lonely ghost I chose, are not afraid of me?"
Miss Shen didn't care at all about the pressure revealed in her eyes, and her face remained calm.
Seeing that she was still so calm, Yuchi Lian gradually felt that something was wrong.
She once again looked up and down at the imposter whose body she had resurrected.
"You? You're not the wild ghost I found!"
At this moment, her right hand suddenly moved out and grabbed towards Miss Shen's heart like lightning.
When her hand was moving closer and closer towards her heart, the woman didn't even try to dodge.
Yuchi Lian was even more surprised.
But when her steel-like fingers pierced the woman's flesh and grabbed her heart.
She was suddenly hit back by a powerful force, and her whole body was bounced back by this divine power, flying three meters away.
Yuchi Lian was once again attacked by the divine power of her master Zhao Qingyu.
Only then did she realize it.
She was anxious for a moment. She cared too much about her master's half heart. She should first deal with the soul inside.
So she attacked again, her five fingers forming claws to grab the soul inside the body.
But when she was about to succeed, she was bounced away by divine power again.
The two equally powerful blows caused her, a demigod who had cultivated her body to the point of being indestructible, to spit out blood.
"This is impossible! Who are you?"
Yuchi Lian asked in disbelief.
Unexpectedly, Miss Shen still had a calm expression, only the raised eyebrow on her right side revealed a little bit of pride in her.
She calmly adjusted her sleeves and said nonchalantly, "It seems you still won't give up. Why don't you try to pluck out my heart again?"
Yuchi Lian wasn't just unwilling to give up; she was downright persistent. But the price was too high. She was now in a state of barely a shred of sanity, her wolf-like eyes fixed on Miss Shen. The cunning nature within her forced her to regain some of her sanity.
She couldn't touch her anymore, at least not directly now. She had to think carefully and come up with a safe solution.
Thinking of this, Yuchi Lian took two steps back.
Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly thought of something. She turned back and stared at Miss Shen, the surprise on her face difficult to conceal. She asked, "Did you take away those blood talismans I hid?"
Yuchi Lian seemed to suddenly understand. She continued, "Because this body has inherited half of my master's immortal heart, it is already rich in immortal power. Ordinary evil demons who want to obtain this body must endure the backlash of my master's divine power. In order to find a suitable soul, I lost hundreds of souls to the backlash of half of the immortal heart. In the end, I used my heart's blood to nourish the mortal soul, and finally I was able to barely place it in this body. And you actually replaced that soul with your own without me noticing. How did you do it?"
"Long-winded."
Yuchi Lian spoke so much, but all he got from Miss Shen was a light hum, and then she answered her lightly with two words.
"Isn't what I'm doing exactly what you want? You want the blood talismans controlled by the other two parties to consume each other, and by the way, serve as a whetstone for Chu Yanqiu. This is a good idea indeed, but I think you were wrong from the beginning... Your mistake was that you shouldn't have stolen someone else's blood talisman. If it's stolen, how can it really be yours? Don't you agree?"
Yuchi Lian once again looked at the thing that had taken over the body.
"It seems that you are not a wild ghost. Could it be that you are one of the five immortals?"
Seeing Miss Shen smiling but not answering, Yuchi Lian felt that it was pointless to talk to this powerful immortal soul at this time. The most urgent thing was to withdraw first and find a way to deal with her later.
Yuchi Lian chanted a spell silently and disappeared immediately.
This happened silently, and the maid guarding outside was completely unaware of it. Even if she heard a little noise, she would just think that it was her own girl giving orders in the room.
So the maid opened the door uncertainly and went in to listen to the instructions.
Miss Shen turned around and saw that it was Dengzhi who came in, so she asked casually, "Is the Shen family from the deserted courtyard still in Madam Liu's courtyard?"
Dengzhi said, "To answer the young lady's question, I just sent someone to inquire about it. They said that Madam Liu had a high fever and was holding onto Shen's sleeve tightly, making it impossible for Shen to leave. Shen had no choice but to stay at Madam Liu's place and take care of her overnight."
Miss Shen seemed satisfied this time. She nodded with a smile and then sent Dengzhi away.
Near midnight, Shen Wen was sleeping soundly beside Madam Liu's bed when she suddenly heard a chaotic shouting and killing outside. Shen Wen was inexplicably frightened. She pried open Madam Liu's hands that were clutching her clothes and left the room, where she happened to meet the old woman who was on guard.
Shen Wen asked, "What's going on outside? Did you hear any sounds of killing?"
The old woman said, "I heard that during the day, there were several small-scale uprisings and clashes between bandits in various parts of the capital. Some also said that patrols were just soldiers catching gangs that had gathered together. Therefore, the yamen runners from Jingzhao Prefecture were still reassuring the people in the streets and alleys of the capital, going door to door to tell everyone not to worry, that the attacks would not reach the streets. So, young lady, don't worry. I believe that after tonight, the bandits will be completely apprehended."
After Shen Wen heard what the old woman said, she felt relieved. She nodded and greeted the old woman, then went back to the room and continued to sleep.
This time, Shen Wen lay on the soft couch in Madam Liu's outer room. He had just settled down and closed his eyes to fall asleep, but before he could fall asleep, he was awakened by the sudden sound of breaking a window.
She quickly turned around in a defensive posture and looked towards the window.
But her action was too late. The person who broke in through the window was already standing behind her silently.
Shen Wen had a very keen sense of crisis. As soon as the man approached, she immediately fought back and attacked, grabbing the approaching figure with her sharp claws.
However, there was a huge disparity in strength and height between the two men, and Shen Wen was still clamped by the man by the wrist, and her arm was twisted behind her back. Although this man was so rude, he became gentle after Shen Wen was unable to threaten him.
The other hand hugged Shen Wen's waist, pressing her whole body against his chest, with her cheek against Shen Wen's neck, just like a couple who were affectionate and coquettish.
Shen Wen turned his face slightly and saw the man clearly.
"Chu Yanqiu!"
Shen Wen just blurted out the words and stopped talking. The strong smell of blood from Chu Yanqiu's body rushed straight into her nose and lungs, making her gag.
"You? Killed someone?"
Shen Wen was certain that Chu Yanqiu had not only killed anyone, but also that she had killed many. Who was Shen Wen? She thought about how strong the bloody smell must have been when she was buried amidst a sea of blood and corpses. Back then, she had never expressed such an unbearable expression as she did now. Shen Wen couldn't imagine how many people Chu Yanqiu had killed to cause her to lose her composure like this.
Chu Yanqiu was guessed correctly, but instead of being annoyed, he chuckled softly. His head, which had been resting on her neck, now rested on her shoulder.
He said, "What? Are you scared already? Is it okay for you to be so cowardly? Remember! You will be by my side in the future. You must get used to this method of dominating the world."
He released Shen Wen's arm, which he had tied behind her back, and instead held her tighter with his other hand. He said, "I'm in a killing mood today, so I might as well take you outside to see the excitement. That would be a good idea."
So after Chu Yanqiu said this on a whim, he immediately took action.
Both of them jumped out of the window and left Duke Ji's Mansion in a few jumps.
Shen Wen was dragged by Chu Yanqiu to the street. Everything she saw was shocking.
It was a dimly lit night, and corpses lay strewn everywhere. Disarrayed debris was scattered everywhere, and burned houses still blazed with dazzling flames. The blood talismans had truly destroyed the human world this time. The puny mortals were like fragile ants and insects before them. Not only were they slain, but each one died miserably, with broken limbs and arms scattered everywhere, even intestines, stomachs, and white, stained brains.
A strong smell of blood came again without warning, and Shen Wen retched several times in Chu Yanqiu's arms.
Chu Yanqiu caressed Shen Wen's head twice, like an old hen protecting her chicks. He said, "Go ahead and vomit. You'll get used to it after a few times. But you've exceeded my expectations. I thought you'd faint from the shock of seeing all these tragic deaths."
Until this moment, Shen Wen still didn't understand anything.
Shen Wen wiped his mouth, looked up and asked him, "Don't tell me that these people were killed by the blood talisman because of you."
Chu Yanqiu shook his head and said, "You are wronging me by saying that. I just said that these mortals were killed by blood talismans. I will not kill mortals, only those blood talismans."
Shen Wen's head was spinning rapidly, and her mind was in a mess.
"What went wrong? How did those blood talismans suddenly become uncontrollable overnight and come out to kill people indiscriminately?"
Chu Yanqiu touched a strand of black hair that fell from Shen Wen's temples and said, "Of course it's not out of control, but someone is controlling the Blood Talisman from behind, ordering it to massacre the people and to deal with me."
Shen Wen's eyes turned, and she wondered who was behind the scenes. She thought about what happened today, and the more she thought about it, the more strange it seemed. Could it be...
At this time, Chu Yanqiu noticed that she was distracted, so he pinched her chin and forced her to look at him.
He said, "What are you thinking about? Are you thinking that if you do this, you will escape from my grasp? Are you thinking that someone will come to save you? Is it that arrogant little emperor? Sure enough! My guess is right. I didn't expect that after just one night with that little emperor, you'd be so eager to give him your whole heart."
Shen Wen felt pain on her chin from being pinched by him. She turned her head to try to break free from his grip, but failed.
Shen Wen was really pissed off by this crazy Chu Yanqiu.
How could she not remember having slept with someone other than him? He kept saying that she had an affair with that little emperor. She was really more wronged than Dou E!
