Fearing being killed for his overwhelming merits, the empress decided to marry him.

"Oh, you beast! You're a complete beast!"

Seeing the countless white corpses of beautiful women scattered all over the ground, Jiang Shangxian could no longer contain himself and went berserk on the spot.

Before he could even pull up his pants, he grabbed Shen Lang by the collar, pinned him against the wall, and started yelling.

"I knew it would be like this. Every time I finally encounter something good, as long as you're around, my Kun'er never gets a chance to appear."

"Are you out of your mind?! How could you lay a hand on such a stunning beauty?! You...you...you...you're going to drive me crazy!"

"Do you know what? I've been holding back for years for this day, I'm about to explode! Do you even understand the agonizing pain I've been going through?!"

"Damn it, the fat meat that was finally delivered to my doorstep was all kicked away by you, you beast, before I even had a chance to taste it!"

"You beast! You're an absolute beast! Why is my life so miserable? How could you bear to cut such a beauty in half with a single stroke?"

"Look at the neighbor's house! You go and look at the neighbor's house! How many of those beautiful women who failed to assassinate the protagonist and were captured didn't end up being taken advantage of by the protagonist and eventually slept with?"

"So you think you're so high and mighty, always going down the wrong path? If you don't want to, give it to me! I can be that kind of protagonist, I'm sure I can!"

"Can't you just be a saint for once? Even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about your boss, me!"

It's such a waste to just kill a perfectly healthy person like that, you know? It happened the same thing by the lake last time, the person was already unable to resist and you still killed them!

"I... I'm so damn unlucky!"

When the topic turned to his most painful moments, Jiang Shangxian even broke down in tears.

"Enough! You're a disgrace to the royal family! If I had waited a second longer, you'd be immortal by now!"

Shen Lang pushed Jiang Shangxian away, while also straightening his own clothes.

"You'd better open your eyes and take a good look. The daggers in their hands are coated with deadly poison. What kind of time is this to be thinking about Kun'er? That's outrageous."

Jiang Shangxian: "I don't care. Can't you take action to subdue them and then let me interrogate them carefully?"

Look at them, tsk tsk tsk, how fair they were, and just like that, they're gone, oh my god!

What a great opportunity to jungle! I've been longing for this moment for so many years! Couldn't you have just stopped them first and let me have my fun before you made your move?

Oh dear, I'm starving! My goodness, I'm starving!

As he spoke, he bent down and sniffed the female corpses like a dog.

"It smells so good!"

This scene sent a chill down Shen Lang's spine: "Damn, you wouldn't be thinking of..."

As Jiang Shangxian wiped away his tears, he prepared to take off his underwear, muttering, "It's still warm, don't waste it."

"We can't waste such a precious resource! No, I must seize this opportunity to enjoy myself, lest I cool off later..."

"You fucking take Kun'er back right now, okay?!"

Seeing this guy's extraordinary obsession with "while it's hot," Shen Lang kicked him over without saying a word. He landed on the ground...

"Enough! When are you going to stop causing trouble? Your niece is still in the clan. What will she think of you if she sees you like this? Get up now."

As he spoke, he forcefully pulled Jiang Shangxian up from the ground.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a waste."

Jiang Shangxian's face was full of grievance, and his eyes lingered on the three female corpses.

"Alright, let's go. You're such a wimp."

Shen Lang pulled Jiang Shangxian toward Zhengyang Palace.

They had only taken a few steps when they ran into Jiang Mengxuan, who had come out looking for them.

"you……"

She was about to ask a question when she noticed a faint smell of blood in the air, and her brows furrowed.

"You've come at the right time. Keep an eye on this fat guy. If I had been any later, he would have been killed by these assassins. I should never have brought him out. He's driving me crazy."

"You mean?"

"Those Hehuan Sect disciples came for him."

Shen Lang pointed at Jiang Shangxian, his eyes filled with despair and helplessness.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mengxuan's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed.

"So, from the time by the lake, you've been pretending to protect the Imperial Uncle?"

"If it weren't for the fact that I have some connection with him, I really wouldn't want to deal with this guy. He's blinded by lust and beyond saving."

Previously, I only had suspicions and no concrete evidence, so I did not take action. Please forgive me, Your Majesty.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shangxian patted Shen Lang on the shoulder and said with great magnanimity, "How can you be so disrespectful? I may be lustful, but I'm not brainless. Don't talk about me like that again."

Jiang Mengxuan sighed and said to Jiang Shangxian, "Uncle, you really should change your lecherous ways."

If it weren't for Shen Lang today, who knows what would have happened? If something had gone wrong, I would have lost a loved one.

Furthermore, your aunt has always been incredibly good to you; she's one in a million in both looks and moral character. Don't you think it's going too far to do these things behind her back?

Jiang Shangxian bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "Your Majesty is right to reprimand me. I will definitely change in the future."

Jiang Mengxuan shook her head helplessly, then looked at Shen Lang: "Come back to Zhengyang Palace with me. The ceremony isn't over yet, and I'm afraid Master and the others are getting anxious."

After saying that, she reached out her hand again, gesturing for him to take her hand.

The so-called once born, the second time familiar.

Shen Lang went from initial resistance to readily accepting holding Jiang Mengxuan's hand in just one morning.

Moreover, Jiang Mengxuan's hands were soft and slender, and felt very comfortable to touch.

After taking Jiang Mengxuan's hand, Jiang Shangxian behind him smiled knowingly.

The three of them slowly walked towards Zhengyang Hall. Just as they reached the entrance of the hall, they saw Xu Jingyan running out in a panic.

"Junior sister, where have you been? I've been looking for you everywhere!"

Seeing Shen Lang holding his junior sister's hand so naturally, Xu Jingyan felt very complicated.

"Senior brother, what important matter do you have to discuss with me?"

"No, it's just that when you suddenly disappeared, I got a little anxious, thinking..."

Shen Lang couldn't stand it any longer and asked, "Young Master Xu, today is your engagement ceremony. Why aren't you back in the hall with your future partner? What are you doing here?"

Xu Jingyan: "I'm just concerned about my junior sister, what's it to you?"

"What, you think your junior sister needs your concern? On the day of her engagement..."

Instead of accompanying the bride-to-be, he came to see his junior colleague. Doesn't he think that's extremely impolite?

"You don't need to lecture me, Shen Lang. I advise you to take your hands off your junior sister. She is not someone you can lay a finger on."

“Yoho…”

Upon hearing this, Shen Lang immediately became angry.

Before Jiang Mengxuan could smooth things over, Shen Lang directly raised his hand that was tightly gripping hers: "If I don't let go, what can you do to me?"

Jiang Mengxuan was taken aback, then turned her face away shyly.

Seeing this, Xu Jingyan clenched his fists and said in an extremely suppressed tone, "Shen Lang, if you're a man, let go of my hand!"

"Are you furious? Let me think... You must really want to beat me up so you can show off in front of your junior sister, right?"

"Haha, what do you think?"

"Unfortunately, I don't have the time to engage in this power struggle with you."

You should spend your time taking care of your wife, lest you neglect her later.

It wouldn't be worth it to have your head dyed a whole grassland (green hat) later, but of course, a little green isn't the worst thing.

The worst thing is when she's having sex with another man right in front of you, while simultaneously praising him as her husband and calling your penis useless.

Jiang Mengxuan was stunned, thinking to herself: Is there really such a disgusting woman? If I find out, I will definitely make her drown in a pig cage.

Upon hearing Shen Lang's words, Xu Jingyan's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and his internal energy began to circulate wildly.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Mengxuan immediately spoke up: "Senior brother, Shen Lang is my fiancé. If you dare to lay a hand on him, you'll have to get past me first."

"Junior sister!"

Seeing Jiang Mengxuan so protective of Shen Lang, Xu Jingyan felt extremely pained.

"This person was flirting with another woman right in front of you, and you saw it with your own eyes. Do you really want to spend your life with this scumbag?"

“Senior brother, my affairs are none of your business. What you should do now is stay by Miss Chu’s side, not question my actions.”

"No, you're my junior sister, I can't just stand by and watch you jump into a fire pit!"

Xu Jingyan suddenly seemed possessed, glaring fiercely at Shen Lang: "Shen Lang, do you dare to take a blow from my palm!"

Shen Lang immediately released his grip and stepped forward: "Hehe, that's exactly what I was waiting for."

But with your abilities, I'm afraid you'll feel ashamed of your ignorance after I make a move!

Instantly, purple light burst forth, and Xu Jingyan unleashed a palm strike of full force towards Shen Lang.

"Senior brother! That's going too far!"

Seeing that Shen Lang might be injured, Jiang Mengxuan shouted, indicating that she would no longer hold back her strength.

But just before she could make her move, Shen Lang went straight to meet her.

boom--

As they clasped their hands together, a powerful energy surged forth from the two of them, spreading outwards.

Eight water tanks on each side, a hundred paces away, also simultaneously unleashed towering columns of water.

After the palm strike, Xu Jingyan was forced to retreat six steps, clutching his chest, his face turning deathly pale.

"you……"

"Do you want to continue?"

In contrast, Shen Lang stood calmly with his hands behind his back, displaying the demeanor of a grandmaster.

His provocative tone and icy gaze proclaimed that Xu Jingyan was the clown.

"Late stage of the Innate Realm?"

"You seem surprised?"

Xu Jingyan clenched his trembling hands, staring at Shen Lang with venomous resentment in his eyes.

Damn it, this guy's cultivation level is actually the same as mine, but why! Why did he... this palm strike...

At this moment, Xu Jingyan was unable to digest the remaining internal energy of Shen Lang in his body, and he only managed to avoid making a complete fool of himself by relying on his cultivation foundation.

However, if Shen Lang continued to attack, Xu Jingyan knew he would definitely not be able to withstand a second move.

Even Jiang Mengxuan was surprised. She had long suspected that Shen Lang might also be a martial artist at the Innate Realm. That palm strike just now completely confirmed her inner thoughts.

"No wonder he was so confident; he was very confident in his abilities. It seems I was overthinking things."

Jiang Mengxuan watched Shen Lang's retreating figure and couldn't help but smile faintly.

"What are you doing?"

Suddenly, the voice of Daoist Qingxuan rang out outside the Zhengyang Hall.

"Jingyan, Mengxuan, what are you doing? Hurry up and enter the hall, the formalities are not over yet!"

Jiang Mengxuan cupped her hands and said, "Master, I have something important to report."

Upon meeting Qingxuan Daoist, she immediately reported to her about the Hehuan Sect's assassination attempt on Jiang Shangxian.

After Jiang Mengxuan finished speaking, Daoist Qingxuan was shocked. "What? How could such a thing happen? The Hehuan Sect must give me a reasonable explanation today!"
