The Demon Concubine of God

Prince Rui!

who is it?

He was a heretical cultivator who regarded human life as worthless, and a schemer who spent his entire life navigating the treacherous imperial court.

Yet this very person, at this very moment, so easily gave away the blood talisman army that he had painstakingly created.

Shen Wen blinked and stared blankly at Prince Rui.

Prince Rui, like an elder, gently ruffled Shen Wen's hair and said with a smile, "What's wrong? Don't you trust me? I gave you the divine weapon I had crafted with all my heart and soul, and it still didn't earn you even the slightest bit of trust?"

At this point, Prince Rui's tone changed, as if he were truly hurt.

Shen Wen was momentarily at a loss for words due to his behavior, while Prince Rui, standing to the side, personally placed the ring on her finger.

Shen Wen had no choice but to accept it, and she said, "Then I thank Your Highness."

Prince Rui was finally pleased. He said, "That's good, that's good." Prince Rui then told Shen Wen how to use the ring, looking just like a selfless and philanthropic philanthropist.

For the first time, Shen Wen felt that the combined time of her two lifetimes was less than the half hour she had spent with this Prince Rui. She felt so exhausted; her mind was overwhelmed. Like a short-circuited robot, her brain was about to catch fire.

Prince Rui was in a great mood. He felt as if he had become more than ten years younger when talking to Shen Wen. He had endless topics to talk about, as if he could talk to Shen Wen forever.

Helpless, Shen Wen could only rub his forehead and complain of a headache. How could Prince Rui not be worried? So he immediately sent someone to fetch a doctor. The doctor prescribed medicine for Shen Wen and told him not to overwork himself and to rest in bed more.

After Prince Rui sent the doctor away, he instructed the maid to start decocting the medicine. When he turned around and saw that Shen Wen had already fallen asleep from exhaustion, he went back to his own courtyard.

Shen Wen, who was pretending to be asleep, got out of bed when he heard the maid come back and say that Prince Rui had gone far away.

Shen Nufeng hurriedly opened the door and entered. He carefully closed the door behind him and stood before Shen Wen, his face filled with anxiety. "What do you think Prince Rui's intentions are this time? You've allowed those evil spirits to seduce the Prince for so long, and yet he didn't order someone to kill you on the spot. Based on my understanding of Prince Rui, if he has a grudge, he won't settle it on the spot. If he can't get revenge, he'll definitely make his enemies wish they were dead later."

Shen Wen touched her forehead. This time, she really couldn't see through Prince Rui. Recalling the intention behind every word and action of Prince Rui in front of her, Shen Wen couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine from his gentle and considerate sycophantic appearance.

Shen Wen raised her hand and waved for Shen Shufeng to leave first, saying she needed to think things over.

Shen Nufeng had long since lost his composure. He couldn't stay in his room any longer. With a distressed face, he said, "You...you have to think of something quickly. Prince Rui's methods of punishing people are ruthless and endless. He must think that you and I are birds of a feather now. Maybe the next moment, he will start by targeting me. We can't wait any longer."

Shen Wen despised his demeanor the most and sneered coldly, "Then what do you want me to do? Do you think you can escape? You know how powerful Prince Rui is. You should know about the blood talismans he has, right? As long as one blood talisman appears in this world, everyone here will be killed by him. Tell me, how do you plan to escape? Prince Rui has an army of tens of thousands of blood talismans."

Shen Nufeng's legs went weak, terrified by her words. The fear of death completely overwhelmed his mind and body, and he truly felt despair this time.

"but……"

Shen Nufeng, who had been completely at a loss, couldn't help but look up at her when he heard those last two words.

Shen Wen looked at the ring on her finger and said slowly, "However, it seems that your Prince Rui is going to play a game that is beyond our imagination."

As soon as she finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room suddenly changed. Shen Nufeng felt a sinister pressure in an instant. He couldn't help but look towards that pressure and saw a tall figure quietly appearing behind him, behind the closed door.

The figure suddenly magnified in Shen Nufeng's eyes, so large that it struck his heart, causing him to fall backward. He was so frightened that he hurriedly dodged backward, tumbling and crawling to Shen Wen's feet.

But before he could feel any peace, the moment he turned his head, he saw a figure with a pale face and surrounded by black mist. The body, which was originally a complete human shell, seemed to have its secrets revealed by its blood-red eyes.

Shen Nufeng was on the verge of collapse. He grabbed his hair, his whole body trembling as he tried to suppress his emotions, but his teeth were chattering in his mouth, making an annoying trembling sound.

Shen Wen, who was behind him, kicked him in the back with a moderate amount of force. Fortunately, the kick dispelled some of his fear.

He pointed to the blood talisman not far away, opened his mouth wide and looked back at Shen Wen. He was too frightened to say a word, but he still pointed at it to Shen Wen to warn her of the existence of the blood talisman.

Shen Wen acted as if nothing had happened, saying, "Calm down! You're scared like this by just two blood talismans? Do you think this is normal?"

This was the first time Shen Nufeng had ever been looked down upon for his lack of courage. At this critical moment, shame took over, and he suddenly stood up from the ground, no longer afraid.

Shen Wen couldn't help but give him a thumbs up and praise him, saying, "That's more like it. You have a great spirit to remain calm in the face of danger."

However, after saying that, she added, "Since you're already this brave, then a few more blood talismans are just like passing clouds overhead, right?"

Then she pointed to the window behind her and showed it to Shen Nufeng. Shen Nufeng looked in the direction she pointed and, just as she said, there were three blood talismans hidden there. The three blood talismans were neatly arranged side by side in the small window.

Shen Nufeng froze completely, his mouth twitching slightly as if it were not under his control. The key point is that this stubborn man was also a chatterbox. He said, "This place looks too crowded, doesn't it?"

After saying this, Shen Nufeng really couldn't hold on any longer. His eyes rolled back, and he fell straight backward.

Fortunately, Shen Wen kicked him in the back in time, bringing him back to his senses. Shen Wen grabbed his arm and pulled his limp body up before saying, "Don't faint yet! I wanted to tell you that your prince's blood talisman was summoned by me. Prince Rui entrusted me with the soul fire that controls the blood talisman. Isn't that amazing?"

Shen Nufeng blinked at her, wondering if he had gone deaf again. He understood the first half of her sentence, but the second half sounded like gibberish, as if it were some kind of divine revelation.

Shen Wen paused for a moment in front of Shen Nufeng's eyes, holding up the finger with the ring, and said, "You don't believe me? Then I'll summon a few more for you to see, and then you'll believe me, right?"

After she finished speaking, she shook her hand with the ring on it, and then another miracle happened.

Shen Nufeng, his legs trembling like noodles, turned around to look.

This time, the entire room was filled with blood talismans, each one resembling a terracotta warrior from some emperor's tomb, exuding an eerie and terrifying aura, as if they had just been dug out of the ground.

Shen Nufeng couldn't withstand Shen Wen's repeated frights. He sat down on the ground with his eyes wide open and fell asleep.

Shen Wen collected all the blood talismans in the room, then called in the maids outside and had them sneak Shen Nufeng out.

For the next two days, Shen Wen stayed in his room pretending to be sick and didn't go out.

That Prince Rui was quite sensible; he actually refrained from coming to see her for two days.

Shen Wen installed hidden surveillance cameras in various places that Prince Rui frequented.

Even if Prince Rui didn't come, Shen Wen knew everything he had done these past two days.

Prince Rui's mind has been clouded, and he has been stripped of his control over the entire Prince Rui's mansion. How could Prince Rui not be angry? He was far from showing the magnanimity and gentleness he had in front of Shen Wen.

He reinstated his trusted men, and on the very first day, he had them bring in many servants from various places and behead them all in front of him.

There's no need to go into details about how Prince Rui regained control of the Prince's mansion. When Prince Rui got serious, he acted like a decisive and ruthless monarch.

The next day, he sent people to take control of the various black market industries outside, and also to find out the current situation in the capital and the palace. He was busy listening to his confidants report on the situation in the court.

Shen Wen was also very busy in the room, mainly keeping an eye on the changes in the situation in various places on the surveillance video.

The most important of these was the many matters concerning the second branch of the Duke of Ji's mansion.

Shen Wen's intuition was right; she had been trying to guess what Yu Chi Lian would do next.

Late the next night, Shen Wen drank the midnight snack brought by her maid and was about to go to bed when the surveillance video from the Duke of Ji's mansion alerted her.

Shen Wen quickly checked the situation through the invisible screen.

She then saw the previously unseen Immortal Ancestor Yuchi appear in the Western Liang City Lord's house, his white robes fluttering in the breeze.

Yu Chi Lian stood imposingly before the City Lord of Xiliang, looking at him as if he were an ant.

She said mockingly, "What should I say about you? Should I say you've become shrewd and cunning, now acting boldly even before me? Or should I say your rebellious spirit from your youth remains, and you probably know you're going to die, so you simply stop pretending to obey me? Do you think that by pulling this stunt in the capital, your grandson's future will be easier?"

The city lord of Xiliang sat in the main seat, his expression relatively calm.

He took two puffs of his pipe and replied, "Where have I gone against the Immortal Ancestor's wishes? Isn't this the result the Immortal Ancestor has always wanted? I've figured it out now. Since my entire Xiliang City is destined to be sacrificed for the Immortal Ancestor's great cause of unification, I might as well have a good time. I've concentrated all of Xiliang City's troops in the capital of the Great Jue Kingdom. I believe that with the chaos caused by my troops, the Great Jue Kingdom is already in complete disarray. The Immortal Ancestor only needs to exert a little effort to subdue the Great Jue Kingdom."

Yu Chi Lian stared at him intently for a few seconds, then suddenly her imposing aura vanished, as if she had lost all her temper. She said, "Since that's the case, then thank you. But I feel you haven't done enough. How about you do me another favor?"

Upon hearing this, the city lord of Xiliang looked at her in surprise.
