The Demon Concubine of God

Before the steward Han Bai summoned Shen Wen to see Prince Rui, he had already seen the scene of the royal family being kidnapped and threatened by Prince Rui in the projection of the surveillance drone.

However, the sudden appearance of Chu Yanqiu later surprised Shen Wen.

Later, they broke into the house, and in any case, the lives of Ji Zichu and his family of three were temporarily saved.

The young emperor was threatened throughout, but he was free to remain so and was not tied up.

The little emperor was kicked hard to the ground by two different feet. He gasped in pain, but he was unwilling to let Sister Shen be taken away. He endured the pain and got up from the ground again, wanting to pounce on her one more time.

Stopped by Prince Rui and Chu Yanqiu, he could only stand there dumbfounded.

Shen Wen had had enough. Chu Yanqiu and Prince Rui shook off the two men's hands.

Chu Yanqiu reacted quickly and pulled Shen Wen into his arms.

Prince Rui was furious, his eyes filled with resentment. He turned around and saw his imperial nephew, and immediately vented his anger on him. He sneered, "Hmph! You're an emperor, aren't you? What good are you? You can't even do anything about it when your beloved is taken away."

The young emperor was already gritting his teeth, but he was more clear-headed than Prince Rui. He knew from the beginning that Sister Shen didn't like him; she liked Chu Yanqiu. He was truly unwilling to accept it.

Shen Wen looked at the chaotic situation before her, but she was in no hurry to deal with Prince Rui directly, because she knew in her heart that this matter was secondary, and the sudden appearance of Chu Yanqiu was the main thing.

Feeling the man's tight grip around her waist, she winced in pain and said, "Let go of me, you're hurting me."

Chu Yanqiu, however, was still pressing his head, refusing to loosen his grip even slightly, and shook his head, saying, "No! Unless I kill these two rivals in love, you will belong only to me."

Shen Wen blinked, trying to figure out how to explain to him that the two rivals he mentioned weren't what they seemed at all. Shen Wen, so oblivious to matters of the heart, only now realized that her previous success in navigating the relationships between the young emperor, Prince Rui, and Chu Yanqiu was a mistake.

A wave of regret washed over her. Having lived two lives, how could she have become the scumbag she despised the most?

Shen Wen really wanted to facepalm.

Prince Rui also lost his confidence. Recalling the tender moments he had shared with Shen Wen in bed over the past few days, his resentment was no less than that of the young emperor. Seeing the intimate behavior between Shen Wen and Chu Yanqiu, he abandoned all reason and picked up the sword on the ground again, ready to fight Chu Yanqiu to the death.

The people behind them were also restless, especially Master Ji and Princess Shanjin and her husband. Their mouths were stuffed, but they struggled and shouted, although not a single word they made was clear.

Chu Yanqiu was probably bothered by the buzzing sound, and couldn't help but glance back at the ground before turning back to look at Prince Rui.

His sharp eyes were fixed on Prince Rui, and that single murderous glance was enough to intimidate the unsteady Prince Rui, causing the sword to clatter to the ground once again.

Prince Rui pointed a trembling finger at Chu Yanqiu and said, "Don't be so smug. I... I'm not afraid of you. I still have the Blood Talisman Army. I will kill you today before I'm satisfied."

The killing intent in Chu Yanqiu's eyes was not fake. When he came this time, he did not intend to take the life of Prince Rui, but he was so domineering and reluctant to part with the person he loved. How could he tolerate that?

Chu Yanqiu's martial arts skills were already superb, and the speed of his attacks was beyond the prediction of an ordinary person. He wrapped one arm around Shen Wen's arm and deliberately tightened his grip, causing Shen Wen to look down at her waist, which made her lose focus due to the pain.

But his other hand had already made a move. The dagger that Shen Wen had just used had already been secretly taken into his hand. Now, he held the dagger and it flew out silently from his sleeve.

In the blink of an eye, the dagger flew out, and before Prince Rui could react, it was already embedded in his shoulder.

When Prince Rui let out a startling cry of pain, everyone reacted and stared in astonishment at his bleeding shoulder from the stab wound.

Shen Wen frowned as he looked at Chu Yanqiu.

"You? How come?"

Chu Yanqiu then slowly examined his fingers and clicked his tongue, saying, "It's a pity the action was too hasty, and the aim was a bit off. Otherwise, I would have definitely stabbed him in the heart."

Shen Wen sighed.

Prince Rui lay on the ground, his face deathly pale; this was probably the first time in his life he had suffered such a great loss.

The young emperor was quite perceptive. Seeing that his threatening uncle had fallen, he quickly untied the ropes binding his personal eunuch, Guo Gonggong. Then, Guo Gonggong hurriedly went to untie the ropes binding the other members of the imperial clan.

Everyone was released, and some relatives, unable to wait any longer, ran to the door without looking back, opened it, and hurriedly fled.

Guo Gonggong, being the most loyal, naturally prioritized his master's safety in this situation. He anxiously grabbed the emperor's arm, pulling and dragging him towards the door. Princess Jinrou and the Zhan family followed closely behind the young emperor. Behind them were Princess Shanjin, Master Ji, and Ji Zichu's family. Princess Shanjin and her husband tried to pull their son away, but Ji Zichu's eyes were glued to Shen Wen and Chu Yanqiu. Master Ji also looked at his nephew. Although he knew his nephew was highly capable and probably wouldn't be in danger in this situation, he had just loosened the rope and spat out the handkerchief from his mouth. He greeted Chu Yanqiu, wanting to say a few more words to his nephew, but his nephew didn't even spare him a glance. Master Ji then realized that his nephew was probably having a fit of madness.

Right now, getting their son Ji Zichu to safety was the priority, but the couple tried to pull him away several times without success. So, Master Ji San turned to Chu Yanqiu again and said, "Nephew Yanqiu, this isn't the place to talk. Let's leave this place first and go back home to relax..."

Before they could finish speaking, a heart-wrenching scream came from the open doorway, and everyone looked towards the entrance…

The relatives who had already fled the door all hurriedly retreated, as if the situation outside was more dangerous than inside the house.

Master Ji and Princess Shanjin exchanged a glance and quickly asked them what was going on.

The first to retreat, Prince Consort Zhan, clutched his chest, suppressing his fear before saying, "It was terrifying! There were so many strange armored soldiers outside, moving as fast as lightning, looking like ghosts, and killing people at lightning speed! They killed people in a flash, and everyone saw it. It was terrifying."

Everyone was terrified and filled with lingering fear. When they thought of the culprit behind all this, they all looked at Prince Rui, who had fainted on the ground, and wished they could spit on him and drown him.

The people who escaped in later hurriedly closed the door, panting heavily and worriedly asking, "I wonder if this wooden door can keep those people out?"

Another person who ran in with him wiped the cold sweat from his brow and said, "I'm afraid we can't stop them. Didn't you see? Those people kill a person like cutting a blade of grass. The bones of the people being killed are even broken. The bones are already as hard as wooden doors. I'm afraid those people could break through this door with ease."

Upon hearing him say that, the room erupted in gasps and a cacophony of voices filled the air.

A voice, seemingly from nowhere, said, "Could those people be the legendary Blood Talismans? So the rumors are true! This Uncle Rui really does harbor rebellious intentions, secretly cultivating a large army of Blood Talismans, waiting for the right moment to seize the throne!"

Everyone was chattering away, it was so noisy it hurt my ears.

Of all those present, Chu Yanqiu, the cold-blooded Yama, felt it the most. With a single palm strike, he shattered a display shelf, scattering fragments that left everyone speechless with shock.

These members of the imperial clan were not without highly skilled martial artists among their ranks, and some of them, having lived for many years, had even seen their share of legendary martial arts masters. But none of them possessed such exaggerated abilities as Chu Yanqiu. Recalling how the young emperor had made an exception for this young swordsman, everyone probably assumed it was only because of the extraordinary family background of the Duke of Ji's mansion. Now, however, it seemed that his exceptional strength was truly the reason for his selection.

Looking at Prince Rui lying on the ground, he was originally unconscious with his eyes closed, but now he was awake. The loud noise of the antique shelf breaking must have woken him up.

Everyone gasped even more, huddled together nervously like quails, their eyes darting around, hoping that Prince Rui wouldn't see them.

Despite the pain, Prince Rui pressed his hand against the wound on his arm and sat up from the ground, groaning softly as if he had just been resurrected from the dead.

However, when he looked up at Chu Yanqiu, he was able to smile.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Since you failed to kill me this time, then you may leave your life in my Prince Rui's mansion."

Shen Wen looked down at Prince Rui and sneered, "I knew you were a ruthless character. You had the steward invite me here just so I could see these things, right?"

Prince Rui couldn't bring himself to hate Shen Wen, despite the little fellow repeatedly ruining his plans. He sighed and said, "Yes, that's exactly what I meant. Only now do I truly understand you. You're not some pitiful, harmless little thing who's been bullied and humiliated. It turns out you also have sharp claws hidden within you, and your methods are truly unparalleled. But what can I do? Even so, I still refuse to let go. I'm just not willing to accept it. How could you abandon me and my good nephew to choose this madman?"

Look!

Listen!

Doesn't his statement prove something?

This is clearly a case of a scumbag woman being cheated on... well, you know, all those things are piled up together, and they're settling the score one by one.

Shen Wen had a headache!

Shen Wen blushed!

I want to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

She had no intention of responding to any comment about this matter.

She felt something piercing through her head and couldn't help but look up, only to meet Chu Yanqiu's sour, questioning gaze.

Feeling uncomfortable under Chu Yanqiu's questioning gaze, Shen Wen couldn't help but swallow hard. He forced himself to say, "I...I didn't...I'm not! I can explain. I'm not what you think. I really didn't do anything."

With those few dry words, Shen Wen felt increasingly guilty as he tried to explain, feeling as if his words were meaningless and amounted to nothing at all.

Chu Yanqiu pulled her into his arms again, wanting to hold her already slender body as if he wanted to make her one with him.

Tell me! Who do you truly love?
