Chapter 378: Turing Duo: The Unmarried Husband!

Hearing Suo Lun’s threatening words, Gui Qinshao’s face drained of color, and she hissed, "Shameless, Suo Lun, you scoundrel."

"You’re not seeing my shamelessness for the first time," Suo Lun said with a smile. "Remember, tomorrow afternoon at Hua Yu Pavilion, just you alone should come. I’ll wait for you until sunset. If you haven’t appeared by the time the sun sets, then by tomorrow evening, your reputation as an unchaste woman will spread throughout the entire City of Rage Wave."

Upon hearing these words, Gui Qinshao immediately shook with anger.

"I won’t let you succeed. I’ll have Ling Ao kill you, I’ll have him kill you tonight," Gui Qinshao said through clenched teeth.

Suo Lun laughed. "Kill me? In front of countless nobles and lords? Not to mention Ling Ao can’t do it, even Zhi Li wouldn’t dare to act in such a way. Killing a noble without just cause, the King would have reason to strip Zhi Li His Highness from his status as heir the very next day."

Gui Qinshao said coldly, "The King is already a spent force, now the whole world belongs to His Highness Zhi Li."

"You’re still so brainless, Gui Qinshao," Suo Lun said. "The King has been abandoned by the nobles and lords, so it’s probably very hard for him to issue an order to get something done. But if he wants to order someone’s death, no one dares to stop it."

Suo Lun was absolutely right. A king abandoned by the nobles and lords is still a king.

At least, he still held control over the inner court, and also had Gao Yin and Gao Yu leading the most formidable royal guards. Once the King decreed to kill someone, that person would either gladly accept their fate or openly defy the order and rebel.

"Remember, before sunset tomorrow, come alone to Hua Yu Pavilion to meet me, don’t be late, or else bear the consequences," Suo Lun said with a smile. "Don’t worry, I definitely won’t break that false hymen of yours."

"Get out, get out of here, you’re not welcome here," Gui Qinshao finally couldn’t help it, and pointed outside as she yelled loudly.

Although tonight was her big joyful night, and she shouldn’t have gotten angry, that was just her nature. She couldn’t stand being provoked. Once she lost her temper, she didn’t care about the time or the place.

When they heard her telling Suo Lun to get out, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all looked toward the two of them.

It must be said that even with her eyes round with rage, Gui Qinshao still looked breathtakingly seductive.

"Gui Qinshao, how can you treat a guest like this?" Suddenly, a hearty laugh came from outside.

The music stopped immediately, and everyone present neatly knelt down.

"Greetings to His Highness Zhi Li."

In the banquet hall, men and women alike, well over a thousand people, all knelt down.

In their eyes, Zhi Li was already the master of the kingdom. From the moment King Zhi Bian announced the establishment of the princess’s mansion, he had been abandoned by all the nobles and lords.

As the saying goes, a decree that cannot leave the royal palace represents exactly this.

In the hall, the only two who didn’t kneel were Gui Qinshao and Suo Lun.

Gui Qinshao did not like to kneel. Moreover, she felt that since she was the hostess of the evening, she did not need to kneel.

Therefore, she simply stepped aside slightly and gave a half-curtsy, saying, "Greetings to Your Highness the Shao Jun."

Her voluptuous figure was already devilishly hot, and as she bent at the waist, the curves of her waist and hips were enough to set a man on fire with just one glance.

Looking at the enchantingly beautiful Gui Qinshao, a flash of burning desire quickly crossed Zhi Li’s eyes.

Gui Qinshao’s beauty was unmatched, a defiantly gorgeous creature that any man would want to take into his chamber. It was a pity that he, Zhi Li, was destined to be king, and the woman he would marry must become the queen, a woman of dignity and virtue, otherwise he would have kept a ravishing beauty like Gui Qinshao for himself.

Following that, Turing Tuo, Gui Xingfu, Ling Ao, Turing Chen and others rushed to the banquet hall at their fastest speed and knelt down to pay their respects.

"Greetings to Your Highness the Shao Jun."

Ling Ao’s voice was nearly hot and trembling because he truly didn’t know that Zhi Li would come—as after all, this was just an engagement party.

"Qinshao, aren’t you going to kneel?" Ling Ao called out to Gui Qinshao in a low voice and then pulled on her arm, making her kneel.

Gui Qinshao was displeased in her heart, but she still knelt down.

Her devilish figure was already explosive, and when she knelt down, the curves of her waist and hips were really about to explode.

Zhi Li couldn’t help but narrow his gaze slightly.

At that moment, in the entire banquet hall, only Suo Lun was left standing.

"Greetings to His Highness Zhi Li," Suo Lun said, cupping his hands and bowing slightly in a salute.

At this time, Zhi Li no longer played the charade of honouring the virtuous. He just looked at Suo Lun indifferently.

He was still alive!

This Suo Lun’s life was much tougher than his father’s.

Last time, Zhi Li had used the Dragon Sacred Hall Tribunal to go after Suo Lun, but he escaped. Even Fang Qingshu ended up getting injured and confined for three months.

And this time, Zhi Li and Fang Qingshu had spent a whopping one hundred and thirty thousand Gold Coins to hire the Underworld Society. Despite sending eleven Samurai Class or higher fighters, they still had not killed Suo Lun.

Moreover, the fate of the eleven assassins from the Underworld Society was unknown, as if they’d vanished from the face of the earth. Even now, it was unclear what had happened or who had saved Suo Lun.

The scene of the attempted assassination had been discovered, but it had been completely destroyed. Chemicals and fire had obliterated all evidence.

The Underworld Society had one rule: if they failed to assassinate a target, not only would they return all of the payment, but they would also absolutely not take on a second mission against the same target.

This means that they could basically forget about asking the Underworld Society to assassinate Suo Lun in the future.

"Rise, and let’s carry on," Zhi Li said with a smile. "Ling Ao, take me somewhere quiet. Everyone seems uncomfortable playing here with me around."

"As you command," Ling Ao said.

Then, several people, calling out in front and following behind, escorted Zhi Li up to the small conference room atop the castle.

From beginning to end, Zhi Li didn’t give Suo Lun a single straight look, not even responding to his bow.

This was definitely a clear signal, and it showed all the Nobles and Lords present that Zhi Li didn’t even deign to put on a facade for Suo Lun.

...

At this moment, Turing Duo slowly made her way to her boudoir.

This was her home, every corner was familiar to her, every spot was comfortable.

But now, she felt a sense of alienation, only feeling a chilling and oppressive sensation.

Was this still her home? Did it still belong to her?

Even her boudoir was no longer solely hers; another man could enter it with ease and claim it as his own.

She had naively thought that she was an indispensable member of the Turing Clan, a mistress of the Turing household. But now she understood that she was merely a tool.

Arriving outside her boudoir, Turing Duo took a deep breath.

The man inside would be her future husband—who could he be?

Turing Duo only hoped at this moment that he would be a somewhat pleasant man. As for defying her father’s will, she had truly never even considered it.

Feeling as though she was about to face judgment, Turing Duo stepped forward and pushed open the door.

"Creak..."

The door opened to reveal the back of a man.

Seeing this scene, Turing Duo felt an upheaval in her stomach, almost enough to make her vomit.

She had imagined that he might be a not-so-handsome man or a hypocritically lecherous man, but she had not expected something so disgusting, so unbearable.

"Ah..." at that moment the man finally noticed Turing Duo and let out a cry of surprise.

"I... I... I..." Caught in such an indecent act, the man before her suddenly stuttered and couldn’t finish a sentence.

"Turing Duo, you... you’ve come? I’ve been waiting a long time for you," the man said.

Turing Duo recognized this man; he was her senior at the Royal City Academy, named Tuli Yang.

Back in the Royal City Academy, his reputation was widespread, nearly the first in fame, and alongside Suo Lun, they were both known as the scourge of female students.

It’s just that Suo Lun had charm, while Tuli Yang was sleazy.

Even though the female students of Royal City Academy despised Suo Lun, they had a love-hate relationship with him; not half, but a third of the academy’s top beauties had been harmed by Suo Lun.

There was no helping it; Suo Lun’s handsome face and his sweet-talking mouth were simply irresistible. Even knowing he was a scoundrel, girls would still fall into the trap.

As for Tuli Yang, he was a pervert, his greatest hobby being to steal girls’ underwear.

To successfully steal the underwear of female students, he practiced his martial arts to an extremely high level, his agility was uncanny, and he prevented anyone from easily finding evidence against him.

Moreover, he was not at all handsome, he could even be considered downright ugly, and at a height of only about 1.5 meters, he was as tall as a child.

In short, this was a man who made girls feel disgusted.

In a few years at Royal City Academy, Suo Lun earned at least a few hundred Gold Coins from him.

Becuase of Suo Lun the scoundrel, after sleeping with a girl, he would turn around and sell the girl’s underwear to Tuli Yang. The prettier the girl, the higher the price he demanded.

However, ever since Tuli Yang saw Turing Duo at a noble banquet three years ago, he became completely madly obsessed with her.

Perhaps because he was too short, only about 1.5 meters, he developed a passionate obsession for Turing Duo, who was about 1.7 meters tall.

Over the years, his family had asked for Turing Duo’s hand in marriage from Duke Turing’s Mansion at least a hundred times. And since seeing Turing Duo, Tuli Yang had never again stolen the underwear of any girl.

Now, was her father really considering marrying her to such a repulsive man?

Had she, Turing Duo, really become so cheap?
