Chapter 545: Chapter 278: Tell My Sworn Little Sister, I’m Getting Married!

The blood, deep red as roses, dripped steadily like pearls sliding off a string, slowly trailing down the white bones.

Skulls, hollow and silent, were piled in an orderly fashion, forming a towering pyramid shape.

Ran Qingchen gazed vacantly at it all.

Clad in her light blue gown, she was like an ethereal orchid, completely out of place amidst the surrounding eerie atmosphere.

Ran Qingchen was bewildered.

She did not understand why she was in such a strange place, it felt more like she was in a ghostly realm.

Unable to make a sound, nor move...

Atop the bones, a throne enshrouded in a ghostly aura stood tall, radiating an intimidating power and profound loneliness.

She found herself unconsciously moving her legs.

As if some force was compelling her to approach the throne.

When she sat upon the throne, and looked up again, she was startled to see rows of soldiers draped in heavy black armor, solemnly and neatly kneeling.

The dense array of armor was like the dark clouds that gather before nightfall, thick and heavy. It exuded a chilly aura of the underworld, and the air was filled with an unsettling aura of murder.

"We pay homage to the Queen, Your Majesty!"

"We pay homage to the Queen, Your Majesty!"

"..."

Muffled yet filled with devotion and fervor, the voices echoed through the blood-red hall.

Asura Undead Army!

The familiar malevolence once again surged into the woman’s heart, spreading throughout her body.

Ran Qingchen’s eyes were cold, her arm lightly resting on a skeletal armrest, her lips tinted like rouge lightly spoke a single word:

"Kill!"

——

Ran Qingchen abruptly awoke.

Only to find herself in a rustic cottage.

At the doorway was a golden cow.

But at the moment, this old cow appeared extremely exhausted, sitting on the ground, panting heavily.

Next to it was a bucket of milk.

Jiang Shouzhong saw the woman wake up, quickly stopped milking, and hurried over with a bowl filled with milk, forcing it down the woman’s throat.

"Cough cough..."

He poured too rapidly, and Ran Qingchen choked.

Jiang Shouzhong quickly set down the bowl, gently patting the woman’s back with concern, "How do you feel, is there anywhere else that’s uncomfortable?"

Ran Qingchen shook her head, looking perplexed at the exhausted cow at the door, and asked, "Where did this cow come from?"

"From the Zodiac Map,"

Jiang Shouzhong said pointing at the bucket of milk, "This milk has excellent healing properties, drink without worry, there’s plenty."

He scooped another bowl: "Drink some more."

Feeling the man’s sincere care, sweetness spread through the woman’s heart.

She didn’t take the porcelain bowl but slightly parted her lips, allowing the man to feed her, displaying a bit of a spoiled woman’s charm.

This time, Jiang Shouzhong did not dare to pour recklessly, he carefully fed the woman.

After drinking two bowls, Ran Qingchen felt too full to continue, "I’m full, I don’t want any more."

As she spoke, she extended the tip of her tongue, like a lilac bud, lightly sweeping away the few drops of milk at the corner of her lips.

This unintentional act carried a hint of flirtatiousness, filled with allure.

"Then I won’t drink it."

Jiang Shouzhong looked at the remaining half jug of milk, feeling it was a waste, and since he couldn’t drink it himself, he simply force-fed it back to Niu Niu.

His principle was to not waste.

"You, this woman, why are you so stubborn?"

Jiang Shouzhong finally allowed himself to lodge a complaint, "I told you that I would return, yet you insisted on being stubborn. If I hadn’t arrived on time this time, I would be preparing your coffin right now."

Ran Qingchen felt a warmth in her heart as she looked at the man, Asking Dao, "Jiang Mo, would you be heartbroken if I died?"

Jiang Shouzhong shook his head, "Not heartbroken, I still have Xia He and the others."

Ran Qingchen pouted her red lips.

Even though she knew the man was joking, she still felt unhappy.

Jiang Shouzhong once again embraced the woman in his arms, laughing as he said, "If there really comes a day, I might as well go join you."

"No!"

Ran Qingchen quickly covered the man’s mouth.

Looking at the teasing light in his eyes, she glared at him with feigned annoyance, and then seriously said, "Even if I really died, you must live well."

After openly expressing their feelings, the two no longer held back or acted coy as before.

Ran Qingchen’s nature was such, hesitant and indecisive at first, but once she was sure, she would release her passion and obstinacy.

She gently leaned into the man’s arms and murmured:

"Husband, does Xia He really like you? Or else... maybe you should make sure again?"

Ran Qingchen’s innate protective nature ultimately made her unwilling to share with other women.

Jiang Shouzhong laughed, "I’ve already been intimate with her."

Ran Qingchen sighed inwardly.

It seemed she could only believe what her sister-in-law had said, treating Xia He like Jinxiu, as just another concubine.

At this thought, the woman was greatly vexed.

If only she had clarified her feelings to the man earlier, there would be no issue with Xia He.

But then again, who could have foreseen that her mother would leave the Heartless Sword technique within her, and she couldn’t understand why her mother had done so.

For the first time, Ran Qingchen felt resentment towards her own mother.

Fortunately, now there were only Xia He and Jinxiu, these two maids, sharing her husband with her, whom she could easily manage.

She had to guard against other women stealing her husband.

Particularly Li Nanshuang.

Ran Qingchen silently encouraged herself.

If her sister-in-law could make her husband devoted to her alone, I, Ran Qingchen, could do the same.

"Speaking of which, do you really intend to give up Sword Dao?"

Jiang Shouzhong asked softly.

Ran Qingchen said, "I don’t want to think about that anymore. Maybe my mother was right, maybe she was wrong. And I’ve realized that I should live for myself at least once.

I’ve always been afraid of pursuing the Sword Dao and leaving you, so I never dared reveal my heart to you. But now, I am not afraid. Having just you, my husband, is enough for me."

Jiang Shouzhong’s emotions were complex.

In order to vindicate her mother, she had practiced the Sword Dao diligently from a young age, devoting herself entirely to the art of swordsmanship, and now, for his sake, she was ready to give up her long-held dream without hesitation.
