Chapter 491: 258: Cut the root, Turing Chen!
Turing Chen had been locked up here for over ten days now.
During these days, aside from a deaf and mute old man who brought food, no one else had appeared, and the expected torture had not materialized.
When Lord Suo Lun and Zhi Yan walked in, he was sprawled on the ground, staring at the dark ceiling.
The so-called dungeon was truly an underground cell, with no windows and no sunlight piercing through, making it impossible to differentiate between day and night.
Seeing Suo Lun and Zhi Yan, he was startled for a moment, then abruptly sat up.
But quickly, he suppressed his excitement and said, "Suo Lun, what brings you to me?"
Suo Lun said, "Zhi Li His Highness has come to redeem you."
Turing Chen said, "Redeem? Now, I’m very curious, wouldn’t the wealthy Lord Suo Lun be running short of money? Or is it because you feel some immense pressure?"
Suo Lun said, "He has the whereabouts of two people, one is my mother, the other is my illegitimate daughter."
At this revelation, Turing Chen was genuinely astonished.
Suo Lun’s mother was actually alive, and Suo Lun even had an illegitimate daughter?
Turing Chen immediately turned to Zhen Yan Princess and said, "Princess Highness, you really are not choosy, to rely on such a scum as a pillar."
"I’m not relying on him as a pillar," Zhen Yan Princess said. "We are one as husband and wife, to describe it as a pillar is too mild."
At those words, Turing Chen almost choked on his own blood.
Husband and wife as one? Husband and wife as one?
Who was Zhen Yan Princess?
Formerly the saintess of Dragon Temple, the most beautiful woman in the world, the woman with the most outstanding martial skills, the woman of the highest status.
All the men in Rage Wave Kingdom admired her otherworldly beauty, yet no one truly dared to pursue her.
Until now, there was only Fang Qingshu who had truly dared to pursue Zhen Yan Princess.
She was akin to a true celestial being, a woman who made one feel vulgar in comparison.
And now, she and Suo Lun were united as husband and wife.
"No, that’s impossible..." Turing Chen said. "You, a celestial-like princess, how could you fancy someone of Suo Lun’s ilk? You’re just using him, don’t think I don’t know."
Then, Turing Chen thought of another, more important issue: "What about Yan Nai’er? Does she know about this?"
Zhen Yan Princess said, "Of course, she knows."
Turing Chen said, "Then has Yan Nai’er stormed off in a rage, severing her ties with Suo Lun? Suo Lun really is heartless. Using Yan Nai’er, he reclaimed Tianshui City, and upon seeing another advantageous match, he discarded Yan Nai’er to the side. Yan Nai’er truly was blind, this is karma, karma indeed..."
"Hahaha..." Turing Chen laughed heartily: "Back in the day, Yan Nai’er was blind to my worth, treating me like worn-out shoes. Now she has been abandoned by you once more, this is indeed karma, karma..."
Zhen Yan Princess said, "Sister Yan Nai’er is getting married to Suo Lun with me."
"Uh..." At these words, Turing Chen seemed to be completely choked up, his face convulsing violently, refusing to believe it.
The news he most wanted to hear was of Yan Nai’er being abandoned once more, and of her distancing herself from Suo Lun.
Unexpectedly, she had decided to marry Suo Lun with another woman.
"It’s impossible... This can’t be possible," Turing Chen screamed. "How could Yan Nai’er, who is so fiercely independent and prideful, be willing to share a man with another woman?"
Just then, a figure walked in from outside. Merely by looking at the almost exaggerated curves of the figure, one could tell it was Yan Nai’er.
"That’s right, I am not willing to share a man with another woman," Yan Nai’er said. "But, when my love for him surpasses my pride, then it becomes possible."
Then, Nai’er approached Zhi Yan, bending slightly to pay respect: "Sister."
At this, Zhi Yan felt somewhat embarrassed.
Seeing this scene, Turing Chen’s heart was bleeding, he pounded the ground and roared, "Yan Nai’er, you are degrading yourself, you are degrading yourself..."
He was truly on the verge of spitting blood!
He had treasured Yan Nai’er above all else, with utmost devotion.
Yet, Yan Nai’er had thrown herself into the embrace of Suo Lun, a man he considered scum. That itself was one thing, but after being abandoned by Suo Lun, when he reappeared before her, she once again threw herself into his arms without hesitation.
Now, she was actually willing to share a husband with another woman.
This blow was fatal to Turing Chen, unparalleled!
How could his own status, martial prowess, appearance, or temperament be inferior to Suo Lun’s? Yet, why was their fate so drastically different?
Seeing Turing Chen lying on the ground, in such agony that he was silent,
Nai’er turned to Suo Lun and said, "My lord, I know you do not wish for me to witness such dark affairs, but I feel we should face them together; and I knew he would say some unpleasant things."
Suo Lun gently pinched her cheek and said, "Alright, you’ve already stood up for me. The next part is not quite suitable for you to see. Please leave for now."
"Okay," Nai’er responded and turned to leave.
Suo Lun stepped forward and said, "Turing Chen, I only plan to exchange for my daughter’s return. As for my mother, since she abandoned my siblings and me a long time ago, there’s no need for her to return. So I’m giving you a choice. How about it?"
Turing Chen calmed down and said, "Speak."
Suo Lun said, "The first option, I use you in exchange for my daughter. The second option, I use Count Tuli Yun in exchange for my daughter."
