188: 130: Gold Coin received, release!

The so-called tripartite marriage alliance plan was a certain union between the royal family represented by Zhi Li, the commoner elite represented by Ling Ao, and the nobility represented by Gui Xingfu.

For Gui Xingfu, this marriage alliance was absolutely pivotal, even affecting the rise and fall of his family for generations to come.

Ling Ao was extremely proud, and the fact that Gui Qinshao was divorced had already caused him to lose face.

If it were to come out that Gui Qinshao’s chastity was tarnished by Suo Lun, the enraged Ling Ao would certainly not be willing to be the one to take over the situation, and the marriage would fall through just like that.

“Suo Lun, do you not feel shameless?” Gui Xingfu gritted his teeth.

Suo Lun laughed, “How dare I discuss shamelessness before you?

Had I not arrived in time, every person on Chaos Stone Island would have been killed, and where would I get the chance to blackmail you?”

Gui Xingfu closed his eyes, considering and weighing his options rapidly in his mind.

Numerous plans surged in his mind and were then extinguished.

Eventually, he realized that paying out thirty thousand Gold Coins to ransom back Gui Qinshao and Gui Qinzhong was the most cost-effective because it also included protecting Gui Qinshao’s reputation, preserving his tripartite marriage alliance.

“Suo Lun, what would you do if I did the same dishonorable act to your sister Suo Ningbing?” Gui Xingfu suddenly said coldly.

Suo Lun said, “I would give up everything I have at hand, including taking back Tianshui City.

I would spend all my energy, all my money, and all my will on revenge.

I would earn hundreds of thousands of Gold Coins, then go to the Underworld Society to place a hundred contracts, killing off your Gui Family Clan completely.

After that, I would repeatedly violate your wife, Turing Si, and your daughter, Gui Qinshao, a hundred times before flaying them alive and drawing their tendons.”

Suo Lun’s tone was calm, yet it was incredibly sinister, making it completely believable that he had the will to do exactly as he said.

Gui Xingfu shouted hoarsely, “Mad dog, you mad dog, you should be butchered a thousand times over, you mad dog.”

Suo Lun did not pay any attention to Gui Xingfu’s verbal attack and said indifferently, “Enough, don’t waste time.

Either pay up, or I will go back and sleep with Gui Qinshao eight more times, and then announce to the whole world that I have slept with Gui Qinshao sixteen times, having my way with her entirely.”

“Shut up, you beast, shut your mouth, you beast!” Gui Xingfu roared exhaustively, then fiercely pulled out a thick bundle of banknotes from his bosom and threw them in Suo Lun’s face, bellowing, “Take it, take the thirty thousand Gold Coins and go buy yourself a coffin.”

Suo Lun was unfazed by the banknotes hitting his face, picking up each one to verify its authenticity.

These banknotes, each worth a hundred Gold Coins, totaled more than three hundred.

It took Suo Lun more than ten minutes just to verify each one’s authenticity.

During this time, Gui Xingfu’s face twitched continuously, and the hand hidden in his sleeve was restless, using all his willpower to prevent himself from killing Suo Lun with a single blow.

But despite having resolved not to compromise with Suo Lun, not to give him even one Gold Coin.

Still, just in case, he had brought the thirty thousand banknotes with him, never imagining that this ‘just in case’ would actually come to pass.

How many times had he been outwitted by this little beast?

The first, the second, the third time.

It was the third time already.

How cunning was he, Gui Xingfu, to repeatedly fall at the hands of a milk-nosed child, caused him to feel a surge in his chest, as if a mouthful of blood wanted to spurt out, yet he forcefully swallowed it down.

“I want to see my daughter and son immediately, and I want to take them away right now,” Gui Xingfu said.

“Of course, I am a man of my word.

I will bring Gui Qinshao and Gui Qinzhong to you immediately,” Suo Lun replied.

Then, he quickly descended from the building ship and took a small boat back to Chaos Stone Island.

Now, within the cabin, only Duke Zhi Ting and Gui Xingfu were left.

“Duke Zhi Ting, is it worth it?” Gui Xingfu said, “Is a mere Suo Lun worth such a big gamble from you?

You have all become mad gamblers, clutching at straws as if they were iron chains.”

Duke Zhi Ting replied, “We are, indeed, gamblers.

Aren’t you a gambler as well?

It’s just that you have more people and power, all betting on Zhi Li to win.”

Gui Xingfu said, “After returning to the royal city this time, you won’t die but you will lose a layer of skin.”

“I know,” Duke Zhi Ting said, “I can’t speak of Suo Lun, nor of Chaos Stone Island.

So, the issue will become that I entered the Domain of Linhai City without reason and annihilated your naval forces.

As a result, my crime will be significant.”

Gui Xingfu laughed coldly, then said nothing more.

…

Just two hours later, Gui Qinshao and Gui Qinzhong appeared on the building ship, in front of Gui Xingfu.

Suo Lun did not show up again.

It was Ye Jingyu and several of Duke Zhi Ting’s experts who escorted Gui Qinshao and the others there.

Upon seeing her father, Gui Qinshao threw herself into his arms and began to sob uncontrollably.

In that moment, Gui Xingfu’s heart nearly shattered.

When had his daughter ever suffered such indignity?

In just over ten days of not seeing her, she had lost so much weight, and her once proud and radiant face was now full of fear and haggardness.

Her usually sleek and shiny hair was now dirty and disheveled.

Her once delicate, fair skin was now scarred and covered in dust, making her look unkempt.

He could not fathom what his beloved daughter had gone through these days to change from a princess to look like a beggarly child.

At this moment, Gui Qinzhong knelt up straight in front of Gui Xingfu and knelt down, saying, “Father, I have let you down; I’ve lost all of your naval forces.”

Gui Xingfu merely gave his son a cold glance before pouring all his attention onto his daughter, cradling her small face and gazing at her for a long while.

Gone was the brash and overbearing look in her eyes, replaced with fear and shame.

His indulged daughter, like someone who had their spine broken, could not lift her head at all anymore.

Suddenly, Gui Xingfu’s heart shattered once again.

He truly wished he could tear Suo Lun to a thousand pieces—this beast had tormented his precious daughter in such a manner, worse than an animal.

At this moment, Gui Qinshao was still sobbing uncontrollably, gasping for air as she cried out, “Daddy, that bastard Suo Lun, he defiled me, I’m no longer pure.”

For some reason, seeing her father, Gui Qinshao felt the urge to pour out all her shame and all her pain.

Gui Xingfu’s heart clenched violently once more as he embraced his daughter and consoled her, “It’s okay, it’s okay.

As long as my good girl is unharmed, as long as he didn’t hurt a single finger on you, it’s okay.”

Was this, this even considered not harming a single finger?

“He also hit me.

My whole body is covered in scars from his scratches, and he wouldn’t feed me, constantly humiliating me,” Gui Qinshao continued crying out.

Gui Xingfu held back his tears and, with a trembling voice, hugged his daughter, “It’s okay, let’s go home with daddy.

Forget everything here, as if it was all just a nightmare.

After you sleep tonight, when you wake up tomorrow morning, you will be the proud little princess again.”

Then, he carried his daughter off the boat and returned to his own vessel.

From beginning to end, he had not spared his son, Gui Qinzhong, even a glance.

Only when disembarking did he coldly say, “Aren’t you going to walk?

Are you planning to stay here and shame us?

You can’t even protect your sister, what kind of man are you?”

Instantly, Gui Qinzhong felt even more shameful to the point of wishing death, following behind his father and leaving the boat.

As they were leaving, he looked in the direction of Chaos Stone Island and silently swore in his heart, “One day, I will definitely lead an army back to Chaos Stone Island and kill every single person there.

Suo Lun, you beast, for defiling my sister, one day, I will take my revenge on your sister Suo Ningbing.”

“I swear, I will flay Suo Lun alive and then rip out his tendons, and I will do the same to Suo Ningbing, first violating her then killing her.

This is the oath of a man.” Watching Chaos Stone Island grow smaller, Gui Qinzhong vowed to himself, word by word in his heart.

Meanwhile, Gui Qinshao had stopped crying and was now lying in her father Gui Xingfu’s embrace, watching Chaos Stone Island grow distant.

She thought she could vaguely see Suo Lun standing on that cliff, watching her as she left.

Her purity, her dignity, everything had been destroyed by this man.

He had left her with memories that were desperately painful, utterly humiliating, yet astonishingly gripping.

He had violated her so viciously and ruthlessly, unexpectedly becoming her first man, leaving her battered and scarred.

But, when she was about to fall into the deepest abyss, he had pulled her back, preventing her from sinking completely.

A flood of emotions welled up inside her.

Suddenly, Gui Qinshao, overwhelmed with turmoil, started weeping softly again in Gui Xingfu’s arms.

Gui Xingfu observed his daughter’s complex gaze and strange expression, especially her continuous looking in the direction of Chaos Stone Island, and his heart tightened suddenly, sensing a dangerous air.

“No, this cannot be.

That little beast not only tortured Xiao Shu’s body but also…

her heart.

Please no, not that.” Gui Xingfu felt an extreme panic inside; he was all too aware of Suo Lun’s heart-piercing technique, and his daughter was no match for him.

Right away, Gui Xingfu decided that as soon as they returned to Linhai City, he would take his daughter to see a certain female magician, hoping to use special methods to restore his daughter’s body to wholeness, even if it were a false wholeness.

Then, in the shortest possible time, he planned to proceed with the marriage between her and Ling Ao.

Otherwise, if they left things as they were, the situation would be too dangerous.

When the time came, anything could happen.

Suo Lun was a devil, a devil who caused women to fall from grace.

Gui Xingfu’s fears were not unfounded; at this time, two images kept surfacing in Gui Qinshao’s mind.

The first image was one she imagined: Suo Lun brutally abusing her, invading her body over and over again.

Simultaneously, the burning pain deep within her body seemed more vivid and unbearable than ever.

The second image was of her choking and Suo Lun gently patting her back, followed by a complex and tender sigh.

She shook her head desperately, trying to rid herself of these two images, but they wouldn’t dissipate, only becoming clearer with each passing moment.

A man who was evil, gentle, cruel, and a genius, utterly toxic for a woman.
