Chapter 155: the woman who broke off the engagement (
Translator: 549690339
How should he take revenge on a woman like Xue Li?
It was impossible to kill him.
She might have come to break off the engagement aggressively, but at least she was not in a life-and-death relationship with the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu.
This girl did not deserve to die.
Most importantly, she was the adopted daughter of the zhongyue imperial concubine. If she died, the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu would not be able to bear the responsibility.
He needed this kind of revenge.
It made her very miserable. However, there was no danger to his life at all.
Moreover, they didnât dare to disclose it to the public or even let anyone else know.
Very soon, Shen lang had an idea.
He couldnât help but ask himself, was this too vicious?
At this moment, Xue Li walked into the courtyard and glanced at Shen lang.
That one look made Shen lang very angry.
That was because she really looked at him as if he was an ant.
F * ck!
Iâm so handsome, and youâre looking at me like that?
The other noble women, even if they donât think highly of my status as a live-in son-in-law, their hearts will still beat like rabbits when they see me, and their faces will turn red.
From this, it could be seen that this woman really had someone in her heart, and it was the kind of person who loved her to the extreme.
This kind of love made her turn a blind eye to a handsome man like Shen lang.
âYou are Shen lang?â Xue Li said.
âGreetings, miss Xue,â Shen lang bowed.
âDonât be like this.â Xue Li replied, â youâre just a live-in son-in-law. Your status is only slightly higher than a servant. You donât have the right to bow to me like this.
Following that, Xue Li picked up a silk handkerchief and covered half of her face.
âLower your eyes. A person of your status has no right to look at me.â
Shen lang was really shocked.
Such an arrogant and despotic woman?
It was really a rare sight.
âIâve heard of your name many times and thought you were amazing. Now that Iâve seen you, Iâm really disappointed.â Xue Li said disdainfully, â heâs just a pretty boy whoâs neither good looking nor useful. Look at his complexion and listen to his breathing. Iâm afraid heâs a piece of trash. Jin Mulan has really fallen. Even if she canât find a man as amazing as the farmer boy, she shouldnât have chosen a waste like you.â
F * ck, this womanâs mouth was so vicious. She was even more vicious than Shen lang.
It seemed that she was already very polite in the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu.
Shen lang had met Princess Ning Luo before, and she was considered to be generous and polite.
This Xue Li was only the daughter of an earl, yet she was so arrogant. How pampered had the Zhong family and consort Zhong pampered her?
âGo out, go out for a walk.â Xue Li waved his hand as if he was shooing away flies.âTake your dog and go out together.â
The sword King Li qianqiu raised his head.
Is the dog youâre talking about me?
His eyes flashed with killing intent.
It was not because he had been scolded as a dog.
Instead, it was because the girl in front of him looked familiar. She looked a little like Xue Xue.
Of course, they looked like cousins.
The sword King Li qianqiu was a martial Grandmaster, so he didnât really care about being humiliated.
However, he would never be able to let go of the hatred for Xue Xue for poisoning his wife.
That heartless girl had trampled on his relationship with his wife, and he would never forgive her.
They had completely treated that girl as their own daughter and treated her like a treasure.
In the end, she was so vicious that not only did she steal the sword manual, but she also poisoned his wife.
Li qianqiu would never be able to get over this.
âCoachman, letâs go,â Shen lang said.
âYes.â The sword King was very cooperative. He followed behind Shen Lang as if he was a real stableman.
His attitude was as humble as he could be.
After entering the courtyard, Xue Li covered her nose as if the air that Shen lang breathed in was poisonous.
âWhich room is that lowly live-in son-in-law? Seal it up.â
âChange everything in there, including the blanket, bed sheets, and mosquito net.â
change the new carpet. Iâm only used to walking on the camel fur carpet of the zhonglang family.
âCover all the chairs with silk and camel hair cushions.â
âChange all the bathtubs and face basins, and throw away all the original ones.â
At first, the official from the resting point wanted to flatter her. After all, she was the adopted daughter of the zhongyue imperial concubine.
But when he heard this, he quickly retreated.
Forget it!
If you wanted to flatter such a haughty woman, she would be unhappy because she felt that you were too lowly and had no right to flatter her.
In fact, itâs wrong for you to breathe the same air as her.
Such extravagance was truly unprecedented!
Even the Governor-General was not so extravagant.
........................
Shen lang found an Inn to stay in dejectedly.
However, the sword King Li qianqiu felt more at ease. He could finally have a good sleep on his bed.
It was this kind of hard-working and simple room that could make people feel at ease.
At that moment, Shen lang, who was in another room, took out dozens of bottles from his bag.
He picked one up and put it down.
He picked one up and put it back down.
Every time master lang went out, he would be well prepared. Gold coins, clothes, facial masks, soap, and so on were all necessary.
However, the most important thing was still his dozens of precious bottles.
He had no choice. He had to be wary of others and to harm others. Therefore, every time Shen lang went out, he would bring these things along. What if he needed them one day? He might meet some enemies in his life.
However, the things inside the bottle were too vicious.
xue li, this sister, didnât deserve to die.
After a long time, Shen lang finally picked out a bottle.
This is good, this is good!
Shen lang had extracted it from an unknown plant.
The plantâs roots and leaves were covered with dense lumps, like toads.
Moreover, the leaves were poisonous. Even the slightest touch would be terrifying.
Countless small blisters grew on the places he touched, growing one after another, making it extremely itchy.
He wished he could tear that layer of meat apart.
Furthermore, it was almost not easy to use medicine. He had to wait until the cycle of this poison was over.
A full ten days.
And the end of it was also a bit creepy.
That layer of skin would form a scab, and when the last layer of skin was peeled off, there would be new and tender skin inside.
It wouldnât leave any scars, and it wouldnât be life-threatening.
However, the process was extremely painful.
Shen lang did not know the name of the plant.
(Actually, I donât know the name of this plant. I know what itâs called in its native language, but I donât know its scientific name. But its power is real. Donât ask me how I know. Iâve dyed it twice when I was a child, once on my face and once on my hands. It was so painful that I wished I was dead.
It would be troublesome if he was stained with it. His hands were covered in poisonous rashes and blisters, and it would take at least ten days for them to fade.
After he was done, Shen lang knocked on the door of the sword King, li qianqiu.
âSenior Sword King, you said you owe me a favor, right? Otherwise, you can return it now!â
......
After hearing Shen Langâs request, the sword King Li qianqiu was stunned.
Is a favor from me, the sword King, that worthless?
This was a promise worth a thousand gold.
Even if you want me to travel thousands of miles to kill or save people, I will agree.
My promise can even save your life at a critical moment.
And now, you actually want to use my favor to steal Xue Liâs clothes?
And Iâm the sword King, and Iâm actually doing such a thing?
Shen lang said, â Iâm really sorry. I really donât know martial arts. If not, I would have gone by myself. The key is that there are many experts around Xue Li, no less than a hundred Warriors. To accomplish such a great task without anyone knowing, must a great Grandmaster like you personally take action?â
Li qianqiu was shocked. Were martial grandmasters that worthless?
Shen lang said, â of course, itâs fine if you donât agree. Iâm willing to follow you to the South. You donât have to feel that you owe me a favor. In the future, I will also do my best to save your wife. You must not have any psychological burden.â
Li qianqiu was even more speechless.
Since youâve already said so, how can I not have any psychological burden?
In order to help you, Shen lang traveled all the way to the South without hesitation.
Moreover, he promised to help his wife detoxify in the future.
Initially, li qianqiu did not have much hope for Shen lang to cure the poison. However, he felt that there was hope now.
That was because only someone as poisonous as Shen lang would have a chance of curing the poison.
Shen lang said, â senior Sword King, this Xue Li is Xue Xueâs sister. She should have just left my house and broke off the engagement with my brother-in-law. Itâs fine if he humiliated me, but he trampled on the dignity of my father-in-lawâs entire family.
The sword King Li qianqiu still did not say anything.
Shen lang said, â I know. Youâre a martial Grandmaster. Itâs indeed degrading for you to do such a thing. However, no one knows about the Kasaya, right? â
âA person of humble birth like me doesnât have any class,â the sword King Li qianqiu said.
the women of the Xue family are all vicious, â Shen lang said. they need to be taught a lesson.
âThis girl, Xue Li, doesnât deserve to die,â the sword King Li qianqiu couldnât help but ask.
âHe wonât die. In fact, he wonât even be in any life-threatening danger,â itâs just a small lesson for her, â Shen lang said. she wonât be so arrogant anymore.
The sword King Li qianqiu still did not agree.
Shen lang sighed. forget it. I wonât force you. Iâll go by myself!
Then, Shen lang walked out.
Youâll go by yourself?
He was killed before he could even walk through the door.
The sword King Li qianqiu sighed and nodded,âAlright then!â
Then, he disappeared from the window.
..................
About an hour later, the sword King Li qianqiu returned with a dress.
Shen lang put on a pair of gloves and smeared the terrifying juice extracted from the plants on the dress. Then, he dried it and sprayed the Rose essence that Xue Li loved to use.
After doing all this, Shen lang said, â senior Sword King, please return this dress. Xue Li still wants to wear it.
The sword King Li qianqiuâs face twitched slightly. He took Shen Langâs gloves and put them on. With the dress in his hand, he tapped his feet and flew out like a swallow. After a while, he disappeared without a trace.
Shen lang was envious!
There are benefits to practicing martial arts. With such Qinggong, what room can I not go to?
In less than an hour, the sword King Li qianqiu returned.
He had completed this task with ease.
The sword King returned to his room without another word.
He had already decided.
After sending Shen lang to the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu, he would leave immediately and would not stay for even a second.
It was better to not interact with people like Shen lang in the future.
Otherwise, he, li qianqiu, wouldnât be able to sleep every night in the future.
In fact, the sword King Li qianqiu did not fall asleep that night.
This was because an image kept appearing in his mind, and he was woken up by a nightmare.
He dreamed that his wife would give him a hard slap.
li qianqiu, youâre such a lowly person! How could you do such a shameful thing? I want to separate from you!
In the dream, senior Sword King was scared out of his wits.
............
That very night!
A fleet left the port of raging tide city and headed towards Gold Mountain Island.
The Pirate King, Qiu Tianwei, personally led an Army of five thousand to take over Gold Mountain Island!
The second move of Shen Langâs strategy had ended.
............
The next morning!
Xu Wanwan was woken up early.
Then, they washed up and returned to their work posts after breakfast.
Clean the yard!
When a leaf fell.
Immediately, ten beautiful women rushed forward and snatched the broom.
Xu Wanwanâs back was aching. He had never slept on a shared bed before, nor had he covered himself with such a hard blanket.
I came to raging tide city to be a female spy, to stay by Chou Yao âerâs side and become her trusted aide.
He wasnât here to sweep the floor.
He couldnât even sweep the floor.
However, she couldnât find a chance at all.
Ever since she was banished to sweep the floor, she could not even see Chou Yao âerâs face.
She was three levels away from Chou Yao âer.
The head maid in charge of this courtyard, the head maid in charge of the castle, and Chou Yao âerâs personal maid.
Usually, she could not even get close to Chou Yao âerâs personal maidservant, much less Chou Yaoâ er herself.
The difference in class was too great.
If Shen lang knew about this, he would laugh himself to death.
...............
The next morning!
Sword King Li qianqiu drove Shen lang out of Nujiang County and back to Xuanwu city.
They walked on the official road.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from behind him.
More than a hundred elite Knights galloped over with astonishing momentum, causing the entire ground to tremble slightly.
It was still the same group of Knights that had escorted Xue Li.
âGood dogs donât block the way, get lost!â
A womanâs voice was heard. It wasnât Xue Liâs voice, but the female guard beside her.
Shen lang was stunned. This road led to Xuanwu city.
Shouldnât Xue Li have already been there?
Besides, this official road is quite wide, and my carriage canât block the road.
Before Shen lang could say anything, the sword King Li qianqiu immediately drove the carriage to the side of the road and bowed.
Xue Li rode on a thousand li horse, leading hundreds of cavalrymen with a high and mighty attitude, leaving behind a trail of dust.
Shen lang was left speechless.
PEI, PEI, PEI!
He was curious. Did this Xue Li really go to Xuanwu city?
The sword King Li qianqiu drove his carriage and set off again.
But after a while, Xue Liâs team of Knights rushed towards them again.
âA good dog shouldnât be in the way, get lost!â
Xue Liâs personal female guard shouted again.
Youâre f * cking crazy.
It had just passed, and now it was back?
Shen lang finally understood!
This Xue Li had indeed been to the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu a long time ago. Furthermore, she did not even take this route when she returned to the country.
The reason why she made the trip was to humiliate Shen lang.
It was just to say that a good dog doesnât block the way and to make Shen Langâs carriage give way to the side of the road.
It was amazing!
How did such a domineering woman survive until now?
Even a person like the sword King Li qianqiu couldnât bear it anymore. He had also let go of his actions last night.
The wicked needed to be tortured by the wicked.
He once again moved the carriage to the side of the road.
Xue Li once again led more than a hundred cavalrymen and left.
âLowly son-in-law, at least you have some eyes, Iâll let you off for the time being.â
This time, Xue Li really left, leading the cavalry to rush to the capital from the fork in the road.
........................
When Shen lang returned to the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu, the sword King Li qianqiu did not even drink a cup of tea. He immediately left for the South.
Moreover, his footsteps seemed to be very urgent.
Shen lang felt guilty.
When Shen lang returned to the palace of the Earl, he immediately heard a shocking piece of news.
The Pirate King, Qiu Tianwei, sent 5000 men to the gold Mountain Island.
Shen lang was overjoyed!
The crucial move had finally been made!
father-in-law, please lead 2000 soldiers to Gold Mountain Island.
âRemember, pretend that you want to seize the island, but donât fight for real.â
Next, it was time to start the gazing Cliff Island strategy!
I wonder how Xu Wanwan is doing?
Now that they had made a critical progress in their strategy, Xu Qianqian should hurry up.
Her role was quite crucial.
After understanding Qiu Yao âer, Shen lang concluded that if he could not take her down, it would be difficult for his strategy to succeed in the Furious tide city.
Xu Wanwan, Donât Let Me Down!
If you fail, then perhaps Iâll have to personally take the field. Please donât, I havenât lived long enough and donât want to take the risk.
..............................
Xue Li hurried back to the capital.
Every night, he would stay in the best room in the resting point and chase out everyone else in the courtyard.
She had a lot of clothes, so she did not wear the dress that Shen lang had prepared for her.
Until the third day!
After her bath, she finally changed into this dress.
Then, he went to bed and fell asleep!
At night!
She was suddenly awoken by a nightmare. She dreamed that her entire body had turned into the skin of a Toad.
When he woke up and realized that he wasnât dreaming, he felt an unbearable itch.
She couldnât help but lift the blanket to take a look.
Instantly, she let out a shrill cry.
That was because she saw that her body was covered in blisters and rashes, which were extremely terrifying.
