The Demon Concubine of God

Shen Wen asked Han Bai to recount in detail what Prince Rui had done at that time.

Just as Han Bai was speaking earnestly, a servant rushed in from outside, calling out to the steward three times as he entered, saying, "Your Highness..."

But the words stuck in her throat, and she secretly glanced at Shen Wen.

Shen Wen then asked what was wrong.

The servant then cautiously said, "The prince... the prince seems to be going mad again. He suddenly remembered to take his men out to kill people... From what he said, he meant to... to storm into the Duke of Ji's mansion and claim that he would rid the Great Jue Dynasty of the Ji clan, this scourge that brings disaster to the country."

Han Bai was so shocked that his mouth dropped open.

Han Bai felt that their prince was becoming increasingly incomprehensible. He had served the prince for nearly fifty years, and since childhood, the prince had been a self-centered person who only cared about himself and not others. In the past fifty years, how many major events had occurred surrounding them, the royal family members, and how many national events had happened concerning the Great Jue Dynasty? When had this prince ever acted as eagerly as he did today, taking it upon himself to lead troops and take the lead in the name of the nation and the world? Every time something like this happened, he wished he could hide at the ends of the earth and become an invisible person that no one could find, hiding far away from everything.

Han Bai didn't understand, so he turned his gaze to Shen Wen, wishing that every strand of his hair could show his respect for the mistress of the Rui Prince's mansion.

From his meticulous expression, Shen Wen had already sensed just how incredible his master's actions were.

Shen Wen couldn't think about it anymore. He didn't know why the person behind the scenes was so eager to deal with Chu Yanqiu.

As Shen Wen walked out, he was thinking, and Han Bai behind him didn't dare to delay and hurriedly followed Shen Wen out.

Han Bai, having served as the steward of the Prince's mansion for many years, always thought of details before his master. As he followed behind, he instructed the servants waiting at the gate to quickly have someone bring Shen Wen's horse to the gate. He even ordered her to retrieve the treasured women's soft armor from the storeroom for Shen Wen, making sure that the lady of the house was not injured. Thinking of how obsessed his master was with this Miss Shen, how could Han Bai dare to be the slightest bit negligent?

Han Bai lowered his head and gave the servant his last instructions before hurrying after him. But when he looked up in Shen Wen's direction, Shen Wen was nowhere to be seen.

Han Bai was left alone, looking bewildered, and said, "That's not right! The path in this garden leads straight to the front yard. How could someone disappear so quickly on such a long path?"

Shen Wen, who had already left quickly, was already at the gate of the Duke of Ji's mansion.

She stood at the doorway and did not see the two armies facing off. On the contrary, there were hardly any pedestrians, which was nothing like what the servants of the Prince's mansion had said.

Shen Wen didn't linger. Since he had come to the gate of the Duke of Ji's mansion, he decided to go in and take a look at Chu Yanqiu, whom he had been longing to see, before leaving.

Shen Wen secretly entered the Duke of Ji's mansion and quickly arrived at Chu Yanqiu's courtyard. Just as he reached the door, he overheard the conversation between two maids inside.

Through the conversation between the two maids, they learned that it was indeed true.

Just as the servant of Prince Rui's mansion said, it was Prince Rui who sent someone to deliver a message to Chu Yanqiu, and the two sides actually agreed to fight at Xiaoqingshan outside the city.

Upon hearing that, Shen Wen immediately turned and left, using the time-space conversion system to quickly reach the foot of Xiaoqingshan outside the city.

When she arrived, she saw two groups of people, about two or three miles apart, shouting and cheering each other on.

When Shen Wen, who possessed the Goddess's Eyes, looked at Prince Rui's group, his expression suddenly changed.

What did she see?

She simply couldn't believe it!

The troops behind Prince Rui were not ordinary soldiers, but the Blood Talisman Army?!

"This? How is this possible?"

Shen Wen couldn't be mistaken; the Blood Talisman troops under Prince Rui's command had already been wiped out by a single cannonball from her.

It's impossible for such a large army of blood runes to suddenly appear out of thin air.

How is this going?

Shen Wen stared intently at the blood talismans, even rubbing his eyes to try and see again, afraid that he was seeing things.

But after several attempts to identify it, she finally saw that it was indeed a genuine blood talisman.

Shen Wen was momentarily dazed.

Her head was about to explode from thinking, and she still couldn't figure out what was going on.

Before Shen Wen could think too much, both sides were already eager to make their move, and a major battle was about to break out.

Shen Wen glanced at the distance between himself and the two sides, estimating that it would be too late to run over and stop them.

In desperation, Shen Wen had no choice but to conjure a rifle, first firing two shots into the sky, then aiming the gun at the two groups of people on either side.

She fired two shots at each of the two groups of men, and the helmets of the leading second-class generals on both sides fell to the ground with a thud.

Everyone was startled by this sudden turn of events. They had never seen such a hidden weapon before, especially the thunderous sound of the two shots. All eyes turned to the direction from which the shots were fired.

Shen Wen then concealed the gun in her hand and quickly ran over.

She recognized the leaders of both sides as Chu Yanqiu and Prince Rui.

Prince Rui could no longer hide his true feelings, and his usual gentle and tender nature vanished.

His lips drooped, revealing the tyrannical and authoritative nature of a superior.

As Prince Rui and Shen Wen drew closer, Prince Rui couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

"It seems that all these days, your life in my palace has really been an act."

Shen Wen raised an eyebrow and said, "Aren't you the same? The way you looked every time you met me, I'm afraid you feel disgusted and greasy just thinking about it, right?"

Prince Rui wasn't angry at her words, but then he thought of the blood talismans he had painstakingly nurtured, and his anger surged again. He said, "I'm asking you, where are those blood talismans I gave you? You...you really destroyed them all?"

Shen Wen did not answer.

But this answer is true.

Prince Rui was even more furious, but then his eyes darted around and he glared fiercely at Chu Yanqiu. This Prince Rui, though pot-bellied, was no stranger to cunning schemes. Shen Wen was just a prickly little hedgehog with some martial arts skills; he simply didn't believe that a weak woman like her could possibly destroy all the blood talismans in one fell swoop.

The only plausible explanation is that Shen Wen favors Chu Yanqiu.

Prince Rui's hatred for Chu Yanqiu intensified. He raised his hand and waved it fiercely at Chu Yanqiu, saying, "Men! Follow me to kill the enemy. Today, we must kill this treacherous villain, Chu Yanqiu, right here."

Chu Yanqiu, who had remained silent until now, had a plan in mind after seeing Shen Wenwei arrive.

At that very moment, Chu Yanqiu swiftly struck, striking several acupoints on Shen Wen, who was almost within reach, rendering them unable to move.

Shen Wen was surprised, his eyes fixed on Chu Yanqiu, not understanding what he meant.

At this point, tensions between the two sides began to rise again.

Without Shen Wen interfering, the battle finally began.

Chu Yanqiu handed Shen Wen to Chihe and ordered Chihe to take Shen Wen away from the battlefield. Chihe immediately obeyed, put Shen Wen on the same horse, and quickly took her away from the battlefield.

Prince Rui saw all of this. Although he was unwilling to succeed, he also agreed with Chu Yanqiu's decision. He was also afraid that the blood talismans behind him, who lacked discernment, would mistake Shen Wen for an enemy and kill him with a single blow.

However, neither side expected that even after sending Shen Wen away, there would be no hindrance to what Shen Wen wanted to do afterwards.

After the battle was triggered, Chu Yanqiu's forces, even those martial arts masters who could fight against a hundred men, were no match for the Blood Talisman's earth-shattering killing move. Fighting against it was like throwing an egg against a rock.

However, such casualties did not last long. Chu Yanqiu issued a retreat order, and everyone had no choice but to obey Chu Yanqiu's orders and evacuate quickly.

After they withdrew, Chu Yanqiu did not leave, leaving him alone with a few close guards and Chihe to face the layers of attacks from the Blood Talisman.

In this way, the situation completely and overwhelmingly favored Prince Rui, and the lives of Chu Yanqiu and the others could be wiped out at any moment.

However, this unfavorable situation was reversed almost instantly thanks to Chu Yanqiu, a person with a special destiny.

The reason for this is naturally Chu Yanqiu. Whenever the situation takes a sharp turn for the worse, the emperor's rage within him will erupt instantly.

After these life-or-death battles with the Blood Talisman army, Chu Yanqiu's imperial wrath always grew to the point of overwhelming the entire situation before he would stop. Therefore, his strength alone was comparable to that of the entire Blood Talisman army at this moment, showing that this lone man was even more powerful than a demon god.

Standing outside the Blood Talisman army, Prince Rui was terrified when he saw Chu Yanqiu's terrifying breakthrough to the Demon God realm. Even a madman as tyrannical as him, who was no longer afraid of gods and ghosts, was trembling with fear.

Terrified, Prince Rui's legs went weak, and he had to lean on his personal servant to stand. He watched as Chu Yanqiu reversed the situation once again, chopping up the blood talisman of immortality like watermelon or cabbage.

Prince Rui had a moment of clarity.

His head was throbbing, as if he were recalling a fragmented memory.

In those fragmented memories, he realized that this battle was not what he wanted at all.

In his memory, there was an evil monk who controlled people's minds and used evil magic on him. It was that monk who kept instructing him to do so.

It was because he was resentful of what his beloved Shen Wen had done.

He simply couldn't understand how Shen Wen could so readily destroy such a powerful weapon as the blood talisman, which he had cherished as his life, as if it were a declaration of love.

The reason he invited Chu Yanqiu to launch this battle was to test Shen Wen. If he didn't set up this scheme, Shen Wen would never believe that he had really wiped out the Blood Talisman.

He wanted to trap Chu Yanqiu in a deadly situation, forcing Shen Wen to release the blood talismans in desperation. He didn't believe that under such a crisis, Shen Wen would have no other choice but to use the blood talismans he had given her to deal with them in order to save Chu Yanqiu from danger.

But even after things had come to this point, they didn't develop in the direction he had imagined.

This Chu Yanqiu is simply not human; he's even less human than the Blood Talisman.

Even after Chu Yanqiu had killed half of his men, the scene that Prince Rui wanted still hadn't happened.

Prince Rui was heartbroken.

Only then did Prince Rui truly believe it.

Shen Wen really did destroy those blood talismans. The Shen Wen he told Lord Shen was not the ordinary mortal he had seen. He had been presumptuous all along.
