Chapter 843 The Farce Ends, the Spirit Seed Matures (Part 1)

Are you coming again?

Dugu Ba was being driven crazy by this despicable woman.

I just wanted to honestly rebel and get things done quickly. After working hard all night, they still pulled this stunt on me.

Why do you have to pick a fight with me?
Did that old man put some kind of sleeping potion on his genitals? He's ruined you like this!

It is tolerable and unbearable.

However, they had no choice but to endure it.

Dugu Ba gripped the sharp, long sword in his hand tightly; in reality, this iron sword was merely a decorative prop.

After all, when it comes to a major event like a rebellion, image is a very important factor.

A general clad in iron armor and wielding a long sword is far more suited to this task than a sorcerer covered in poisonous insects.

He also had throwing knives and prepared poison hidden in his sleeves. If Dugu Ba wanted, with his cultivation at the Divine Realm, he could easily kill this ignorant woman in front of him.

However, I cannot kill him.

Dugu Ba glanced at Lü Zheng beside him. He wanted to acknowledge this brother-in-law, but his brother-in-law refused to acknowledge him.

The old man remained calm and composed, acting as if it were none of his business.

Who knows what would happen if he actually took action?
Dugu Ba almost ground his teeth to powder.

That old bitch.

"Brother Lü, please try to persuade our mother."

Upon hearing this, Lü Zheng's brows relaxed.

"Dugu Ba, new talents replace the old, and I'm no longer up to the task. You, on the other hand, are the new son-in-law. As the saying goes, a mother-in-law's love for her son-in-law grows stronger with each passing year. Why don't you try to persuade him?"

After hearing this, Dugu Ba felt somewhat frustrated.

Lu Zheng is now watching from the sidelines like a spectator.

Lu Zheng's calm voice made Su Che glance at him sideways.

This kid has indeed grown a lot.

Judging from the reaction of the spirit seed, Lü Zheng was clear-headed at the moment, and the spirit seed was nourished in this clarity.

There is an ancient story of enlightenment at Longchang. Could it be that Lü Zheng has also gained some insight from this farcical drama?

Su Che surmised in his heart that, as expected, there are three thousand great paths and eight hundred unorthodox ones; there is always some strange and unusual path waiting for cultivators to tread in the future.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Ba steeled his resolve.

Who knows if he's genuinely watching the spectacle or just pretending?

Indecisiveness leads to disaster.

I might as well take the blame myself.

He had just taken a step when he heard someone speaking behind him.

"Mother has such a skill. I wonder if you forgot this skill when I was in the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment institution) because you were busy playing instruments and singing?"

Dugu Ba secretly exclaimed, "Good!"

These women, who had been holding us back all night, are finally making a difference.

“The Lü family is guilty, and this is a matter of course to be punished according to the law. Even if I wanted to, I am powerless to do anything about it.”

Yunniang's face turned frosty: "Besides, didn't you also have a good fortune? If you hadn't gone to the brothel and met so many men, how could you, with the original status of the Lü family, have become this general's concubine? Going to the brothel was a way of putting your knowledge to good use."

"I thought it was my doing."

Lü Zheng interjected.

"Mother, you've been licking the king's boots for so long, your words are full of filthy logic, I can't argue with you." Suddenly, Lü Huiniang drew a long sword from the waist of a soldier from the Dugu family next to her and held it directly to her own neck.

"But I can do what you did. I am Lu Zheng's sister. I'll count to ten. If any of you don't go and kill this good-for-nothing king to get justice for my father, I'll commit suicide right now."

"Let's see who dares!"

Yunniang flicked the sword, slicing a few strands of her own hair across the blade.

"I'd like to see who dares to do that!"

Lu Huiniang extended her wrist, and a red mark dripped blood from her neck.

"Great, fantastic!" Su Che almost clapped his hands.

They're truly mother and daughter; they've mastered all the tricks of crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide.

Dugu Ba was momentarily dumbfounded.

He really hoped that his mother-in-law would commit suicide as soon as possible. Such a vicious woman would be a disservice to heaven and earth to spare her life.

But he didn't want anything to happen to Lü Huiniang, because she and the child in her womb were Dugu Ba's greatest lifeline.

Ugh.

Su Che heard a soft sigh from Lü Zheng beside him.

"Those who have abandoned me, the days of yesterday cannot be retained. Those who trouble my heart, the days of today are full of worries."

Lu Zheng moved swiftly, transforming into a bolt of lightning, and unleashed a powerful attack.

Fingers held together are like knives, capable of cutting through autumn waters.

The king of Guzhu looked at his chest and wondered when half an arm had appeared there.

Fresh blood was gushing out from inside, spraying onto Lü Zheng's clothes.

"you……"

"What a pig and a dog."

Lu Zheng sighed, withdrew his right hand, and kicked out with a powerful kick, shattering the Six Yang Leader of the Guzhu Kingdom to pieces.

"what!"

Yunniang was stunned as she watched the King of Guzhu fall to the ground.

Lu Huiniang let out an excited scream.

"Let's do it."

Lu Zheng disgustedly shook the blood off his hands and turned to look at his mother.

"This is the blood of the king. He loves music so much, he can be reborn in Daliang and become a eunuch who plays musical instruments."

"you you……"

"Go ahead and do it! Didn't we agree that whoever kills him will commit suicide? What, can't you hold a sword?"

As Yunniang looked at the corpse of the King of Guzhu, she inexplicably lost all strength in her wrist.

"Let's get started! What are we waiting for? They're all watching."

Lu Zheng glanced at Dugu Ba sideways.

"Isn't that right, good son-in-law?"

Dugu Ba was momentarily speechless.

"Gentlemen, you are both dear friends and family, let's not act impulsively."

Although he wished the two of them would die together, Dugu Ba also admitted that this kid was no longer the Lü Zheng he used to be.

"I'll call you 'Mom' one more time. Since you're a fickle woman who wants to climb the social ladder, let's not play this virtuous woman act."

Lu Zheng rushed forward and grabbed her wrist, holding the sword to her throat. Yunniang could even feel the chilling coldness about to seep into her skin.

"Even if you become the most favored concubine and the rightful queen, when the envoy of the Longevity Cult arrives, you'll still be sent to serve the king. Mother, I already have enough trouble with this godfather; there's no need to add to my burdens."

As he spoke, Lü Zheng glanced at the Queen and Crown Princess of Guzhu Kingdom beside him, as well as the concubines, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"Zheng...Zheng'er...Mother was wrong, Mother was blinded by greed, Mother..."

“That’s right. Wealth and glory are within easy reach. Since you’re just a vine clinging to a big tree, don’t pretend to be a pillar. What’s with all the vows of eternal love? If you really had the ability to die for love, my sister and I wouldn’t have been able to have a child.”

Yunniang lost all her strength and collapsed to the ground.

Lu Zheng ignored her.

"Dugu Ba, I've given you such a great opportunity, how do you plan to repay it?"

"Easy to say, easy to say."

Dugu Ba smiled.

"Blood is thicker than water, we are all one family. Brother Lü, as long as you speak, anything can be discussed."
