The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 189: Madam Shangguan, who is bent on dominating

The secret passage spiraled around for a long time before reaching the exit.

It was the stone slab that was opened by the nun Lianye and Shangguan Xueer earlier, leading to the incense table in the Goddess Hall.

Shen Wen came out from under the incense table, but before he could get up, he heard someone coming here.

They were two little nuns from the goddess temple. They walked into the hall while talking.

"Is it really a man? Are you seeing things? And is he in the host's room?"

"Is this true? I just passed by there and saw it. Don't tell anyone else, okay?"

"Humph! That time when I was dating my lover, she punished me by making me kneel for three days. Now isn't she still cheating? I wonder if she dares to say anything bad about me next time?"

"You! Who told you to be careless? This is a temple after all. She can tell you to do some things regardless of the rules. If you do it privately, she will not only be angry, but she will also punish you according to the temple rules. You are so stupid, aren't you?"

"We are all just looking for a place to stay. She just came earlier than us, so we respectfully call her the host. She is pretending to be the opposite. In such a dirty place, who doesn't know who is who? We are the bodies that are stained with filth, and she is the heart!"

The other covered her mouth with his hand, looked around nervously, and said carefully: "I told you not to talk nonsense! She has more thoughts than that. You don't know how terrible she is. Don't regret it after you really experience it. It will be too late then."

The two were chattering to each other when they saw the abbot Lian Ye walking in from outside the hall door.

Lian Ye came up and started to lecture him: "What are you saying in front of the goddess! Be careful not to anger the goddess, or she will punish you. Why don't you go and do your own thing?"

The two were startled by her. When they heard that she was going to send them somewhere else, they hesitated and said, "But, today we have to clean the Goddess Temple and refill the oil in the lamp before we can leave."

Lian Ye said, "We'll clean this place later. I need to enter a state of meditation in front of the goddess. Yesterday, the goddess had a message. I think it was a divine will to convey to me. You guys wait outside for more than an hour. It won't be too late to clean up after I finish my meditation."

The two of them had no choice but to follow her instructions and go out first.

When they were gone, Lian Ye said to the person waiting in the dark, "Come out, there's no one here."

Sure enough, a woman came in from outside the door, followed by two maids, who were carrying an unconscious man.

The man lowered his head, and in the eyes of Shen Wen who was observing secretly, he immediately recognized that it was Chu Yanqiu.

That day, Chu Yanqiu came to the Goddess Temple to investigate the whereabouts of Shen Wen. He was entangled by a shadow snake and could not escape. Naturally, he was discovered by Lian Ye and Shangguan Xueer.

When Shangguan Xueer saw that it was him, she still had some affection in her heart, so she gave Chu Yanqiu a pill for him to swallow. The bone-attacking snake that was wrapped around his body, invisible to the naked eye and untouchable by the human body, crawled out of his body obediently.

Shangguan Xueer was infatuated and said, "Are you here to see me, my husband? I knew that when I left the Ji Mansion, my husband would definitely think of me. It would be worth it that I fell in love with you at first sight."

Chu Yanqiu had never thought that the woman he married was such a terrible person in private. Raising an evil creature! Such a terrible evil creature, a venomous snake that eats flesh and drinks blood, which is hard to see with the naked eye.

Chu Yanqiu stretched out his hand, calling her to come closer to him. He pinched the woman's chin, and said with fire in his eyes: "I can't believe it! It turns out that you are such a powerful person. You usually pretend to be as docile as a little rabbit in the mansion."

Shangguan Xueer's tender chin was pinched by him and it hurt. Tears instantly filled her big eyes. She said obediently as before: "Husband, you hurt me."

Lian Ye brushed Chu Yanqiu's hand away and said, "Amitabha, young master! It is often said that it takes a hundred years to cultivate a relationship, and a thousand years to cultivate a marriage. Although Miss Xue'er does not quite meet the status of the daughter-in-law of your Duke's Mansion, she is truly infatuated with you. In my opinion, now that she has left your Duke's Mansion, it is better for her to do her thing and you two can still maintain your relationship. If there are any difficulties in the future, Miss Xue'er will naturally be able to help you."

What I mean is that our Miss Xue'er, since you have discovered her secret, there is no need for her to lower her status and become your concubine of that status. It is better for her to come out and have sex with you. As long as you care about the feelings between men and women, if one day in the future you and your Ji family encounter a disaster, Miss Xue'er will have a snake to help you.

Chu Yanqiu sneered at the nun Lianye with great contempt. He said, "You? Your hands are stained with such unlucky blood. You want to be my killer, Chu Yanqiu? Don't you think you are worthy of it?"

Lian Ye smiled awkwardly at the sarcasm, but was not angry. He chanted "Amitabha" again and said to Shangguan Xueer, "I'll wait for you outside." Then he went out.

Shangguan Xueer saw Lian Ye leave, and immediately came to Chu Yanqiu, touching his chest and said in an extremely intimate manner: "Husband... don't be angry, my snake is very obedient, although it is a bit troublesome to raise them, but they are really rare treasures in the world. Let it do those invisible and silent assassinations, and it is guaranteed not to leave any traces. I know that husband will be the new emperor of millions of territories in the future. If such a difficult hegemony takes ten years to complete, with the addition of my snake, husband can shorten the schedule by five years. Isn't husband tempted?"

Chu Yanqiu asked: "Five years? What about after five years?"

Shangguan Xueer said, "After that? What after that? My husband, are you talking about me? Of course, I will always be by the king's side."

Chu Yanqiu said, "I'm talking about your bone-attaching snake. How many people will it eat in five years? After five years of eating human blood, I'm afraid it will become a spirit by then. Are you sure you can still control it?"

Shangguan Xueer smiled and said, "Don't worry about this, my husband. It has eaten so many people's flesh and blood, but it still remains a small size. My husband doesn't know that I have been raising it for five years. If it could become a spirit, it would have become one long ago. Otherwise, how could it be said to be a sacred object of my teaching? My husband, what you said means that you don't object to my snake and I helping you? This is really great. I thought it would take a long time to persuade my husband to agree with me."

Chu Yanqiu pushed Shangguan Xueer away and said, "Who is your husband? You look like a wretch, are you worthy of being my wife? I agreed to take you as my concubine because of your Shangguan family's kindness to me. Who knew that your Shangguan family would produce such a scum like you? It's really a disgrace to the family. The Shangguan family is kind and benevolent, chivalrous and loyal. If any of your clansmen were still alive and knew about the evil you did, they would have expelled you from the family long ago."

Mentioning the Shangguan family was like stabbing Shangguan Xueer's heart. She said angrily, "The Shangguan family... You only mention them. Only you, a fool, always remember my father's kindness in saving me. Do you think he is a good person? Would a good person push his wife and daughter into the furnace to temper weapons? Do you still remember the sword in your study? You all said that the sword has spiritual energy. The whole martial arts world is crazy about that broken sword. Isn't it made of human blood and soul? In order to make another sword like this, my father did not hesitate to push my biological mother into the furnace, and my sister. If my fate was not unsuitable for smelting, could I have escaped? Why? He forged the spiritual sword and killed innocent people, and I worshipped the holy object and killed innocent people. Why is he righteous and I am unforgivable?"

Chu Yanqiu was also surprised by her words.

Shangguan Xueer said: "Now that I have told you almost everything, just tell me, do you want to be with me wholeheartedly? Do you want me, your good helper, to help you conquer the world?"

Chu Yanqiu turned his head and gave her a "humph".

Shangguan Xueer clenched her fists in anger. She didn't need to pretend anymore. She said, "Okay! Okay! I know why you came here. It's for Shen Wen, that bastard concubine, right? I hate her so much. I'm going to chop that bastard concubine into eight pieces right now!"

Chu Yanqiu turned around and saw Shangguan Xueer walking towards the door. In a hurry, Chu Yanqiu hit Shangguan Xueer.

Unexpectedly, Lian Ye, who had been hiding outside the door and listening to the noise, blew a bone whistle at this critical moment, and the bone-attaching snake that had previously entangled Chu Yanqiu climbed onto his body again.

Shangguan Xueer was not a weak woman. She knew some martial arts and dodged Chu Yanqiu's palm attack. The two fought for a few more rounds, and a bone-attaching snake lying on her body also drilled into Chu Yanqiu's body.

This time the snake got mad and bit Chu Yanqiu several times, causing him to scream in pain. The other snake took the opportunity to get into his mouth and then went into his stomach.

Shangguan Xueer smiled triumphantly and said, "I told you to drink a toast but you didn't want to drink a forfeit. I wanted to coax you with all my heart, but you just didn't understand romance. You let me down like this, so you should have a taste of being bitten by a snake."

Shangguan Xueer went out, leaving Chu Yanqiu alone to suffer.

Chu Yanqiu used his internal energy to force the snake out of his stomach, but the snake was very flexible and it took time for the internal energy to work in his internal organs. The snake sensed it and had already slipped away. The snake was fighting a guerrilla war in his body, and he just waited for the time. The snake approached his heart little by little, biting his heart little by little.

Chu Yanqiu was tortured to the point that he could no longer use his internal energy and rolled on the ground.

It would only take half an incense stick of time for the snake to eat his heart. If Shangguan Xueer had not allowed the snake to understand Chu Yanqiu so quickly and stopped the snake in time, how could Chu Yanqiu still be alive?

Shangguan Xueer suggested locking Chu Yanqiu in a snake den, and Lianye then drove away the two little nuns in the Goddess Hall.

They opened the secret passage at the incense table under the statue, and Shangguan Xueer asked two maids to bring the unconscious Chu Yanqiu into the secret passage.

After they closed the secret passage, Shen Wen walked out from the darkness. She looked up at the statue, and on the face of the statue was a small snake like a black shadow, which lazily spit out its tongue and looked at Shen Wen, as if to say hello to Shen Wen.
