Ex-Wife is a Big Villainess
Chapter 212 - 131: Much Better

Chapter 212: Chapter 131: Much Better

Jiang Shouzhong gradually regained consciousness from his daze and found himself lying in a crevice next to Huailan Lake, where the sparse stars in the sky fell like broken jade, and the night was fading, revealing the indigo of pre-dawn.

The surroundings were silent, with only a light breeze brushing gently.

"How did I come out again?"

Jiang Shouzhong’s head felt as if it was being wrung, as if thousands of needles were pricking him.

He struggled to recall the scenes from moments ago, but his memory had only scattered fragments, difficult to piece together.

At that moment, a faint sound of a girl’s moan suddenly came from beside him.

He instinctively turned his head, only to be stunned by the appearance of a pair of delicate feet as tender as young bamboo shoots.

The girl’s toes were slightly curled, and her ten nails were as round and fine as pearls—unpainted, yet a pearl-like rosy hue was evident. Around her delicate ankles was tied a small gold bell.

This was...

Jiang Shouzhong’s eyes widened, and his gaze slowly drifted upward...

Beneath the disheveled skirt, glimpses of the girl’s slender lower legs alternately hid and appeared against the backdrop of vast spring scenery, weaving an indescribable temptation, as if it wasn’t a woman lying next to him, but a fairy.

And the current situation had clearly explained an issue.

Jiang Shouzhong’s spirit was shaken, his mind a chaos. A whirlpool of emotions flooded hi, like waves tossed by a hurricane, leaving him only with shock and bewilderment intertwined in his heart.

The girl, Princess Yanrong, was still unconscious, her eyebrows contracting from time to time due to pain, looking pitiful.

Jiang Shouzhong held his head, trying to calm himself down.

Wasn’t he buried under the ruins?

How did he suddenly end up in a bridal chamber with this Princess Yanrong?

Wait a minute!

Jiang Shouzhong struggled to recollect and finally remembered that he seemed to have awoken on an altar, and besides him, there was that woman in a golden dress and this Princess Yanrong.

Then he saw a fox?

And then...

Jiang Shouzhong’s head started to hurt again, feeling as if he was almost possessed.

"Jiang Mo!"

Suddenly, an anxious voice came.

Before the voice had faded, the Snake Demon Mengniang in a bright red bridal dress rushed over like a meteor chasing the moon.

After that golden Buddha was pressed down, Mengniang had been suppressed by the powerful Buddha’s force, completely losing contact with Jiang Mo and the others. The appearance of the Heavenly Execution Formation almost shattered her soul, forcing her to flee far and hide to avoid the sharp edge.

When everything settled, she hurriedly looked for Jiang Mo, and fortunately, her Divine Sense quickly detected him.

Seeing him unharmed, Mengniang’s anxious heart finally settled back in place.

"Jiang Mo, you—"

Mengniang reached him and suddenly turned around, her ears slightly reddening as she whispered, "Put on your clothes!"

Jiang Shouzhong then came back to his senses and hurriedly dressed himself.

At this moment, Mengniang also noticed Yelü Miaomiao, still unconscious. From the look of the two, it was clear they had just experienced lingering pleasures. Mengniang’s expression instantly turned strange and mysterious, "Who is she?"

Jiang Shouzhong was about to answer when suddenly his expression changed, and he anxiously said, "Mengniang, please help me find Qiuye first."

Mengniang comforted him, "Don’t worry, when I came looking for you, Xia He had already found Qiuye. As there were high-level guards searching around, I asked her to take Qiuye back for treatment first."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shouzhong breathed a sigh of relief.

"You still haven’t told me who she is? Your new little lover? She’s quite pretty."

Mengniang showed curiosity, starting to gossip again.

Mengniang, who usually loved gossip, regretted and felt annoyed about missing out on such a major event.

Looking at the girl still unconscious on the ground, Jiang Shouzhong’s expression was complex.

He unconsciously gripped the hilt of his knife at his waist, struggled internally for a long while, and sighed, then said, "Mengniang, help her dress and take her back to the room. Let’s talk slowly once we return."

Mengniang nodded, murmured softly, "Another one, the house really can’t hold anymore."

When Empress Luo Wanqing returned to the palace, Emperor Zhou Chang and the elders had already descended from Star Plucking Tower.

Despite restoring some energy on her way back, Luo Wanqing still appeared pale but was walking steadily. Seeing Zhou Chang, she spoke coldly, "The Crown Prince is already dead, and Shenye is dead as well."

Although he was prepared, hearing the news of his son’s death caused Zhou Chang to briefly lose his focus.

Seeing his expression, Luo Wanqing scorned, "What are you pretending for? You abandoned your beloved woman in those years, not knowing your own moral character? Now pretending to be concerned over a son you never cared for."

"Your Highness, watch your words," warned an elder, frowning.

"Watch your own mother!"

Luo Wanqing, already full of rage, lost her usual aloof composure and burst out, furiously pointing at the elder, "What are you to tell me to watch my words?!"

The elder shrank back silently, not daring to say more.

They could understand why Luo Wanqing exploded in such rage.

She had only gone to rescue the Crown Prince, but upon reaching the subterranean palace, she discovered Shenye was not dead, and even self-destructed in the end. If not for the protective Magic Artifact, she might have never returned.

Zhou Chang quickly intervened, "Wanqing, I am at fault this time. I truly did not expect Shenye to be so tough, almost costing you your life. As a compensation, the conditions I had agreed to earlier will be doubled. I will lend you the Jade Seal of Dazhou for twenty days instead of the promised ten."

"Your Majesty!"

The three of them changed their expression.

The Confucian Saint wanted to advise against it, but Zhou Chang waved his hand with a smile, "It’s alright. The death of Shenye and the Empress’s effort deserve compensation."

Seeing the Emperor had made up his mind, the three people could no longer give further advice.

For the rescue of the Crown Prince, the Emperor could only enlist the help of the Empress, whose cultivation was second only to Zhao Wuxiu and the Saint, in exchange for lending the Jade Seal of Dazhou to the Empress for ten days.
