If one were to ask which woman was the most unfortunate after Shen Lang came to this world? Without a doubt, it would be Xu Qianqian. She was simply the embodiment of misery.
Her family was ruined by Zhang Chong and his son, and she went bankrupt because of Shen Lang. After that, she finally made a comeback with Shen Lang and Xuan Wu Mansion, restoring the glory of her family business. But in the end, Shen Lang got into trouble.
When Shen Lang's identity was revealed, Xu Qianqian's reaction was exactly the same as others.
What?! This scumbag Shen Lang is actually the son of Emperor Jiang Li? Is the Kami blind? He is a complete hooligan. How can such a person be worthy of the identity of Emperor Jiang Li? He is not even worthy of Jin Mulan. At most, he is worthy of me, Xu Qianqian. A bitch and a dog will last forever.
Then, Xu Qianqian was faced with a choice. Should she escape with the Kim family?
But in the end, she did not do that, because she was not anyone to Shen Lang. If she was alone, she might choose to escape with Shen Lang. But she still had her family, so she could not be selfish.
She chose another way to escape, abandoning all the family business that she had worked so hard to manage. At that moment, her heart was broken.
Shen Lang, you bastard, you were born to be my nemesis.
She escaped to the countryside with a few of her family members and lived in seclusion in a house in the mountains. In such a remote place, the enemy should not be able to find them. Moreover, she felt that she had nothing to do with Shen Lang.
However, Xu Qianqian had underestimated the will of some powerful figures. It was terrifying to link all of them together. Not to mention Xu Qianqian's connections, even those in the Imperial College who had spoken to Kaneki Satoshi had been arrested by their entire families and locked in prison for more than a year. So far, they had killed more than 10,000 people, and there were still more to be killed.
Not to mention Shen Lang and Jin Mucong, they could not even be related to Bitter Joy and the others.
In less than three months, Xu Qianqian's family was caught. Zhuo Zhaoyan had personally sent people to capture them.
Xu Qianqian was a smart person. Of course, she knew what to do to protect her family. She said that she and Shen Lang had nothing to do with each other in the past, and that they were enemies, mortal enemies.
But these words still could not save her. At that time, the governor of Xuanwu, Zhu Wenhua, sentenced her to be beheaded.
That's right, it was Zhu Wenhua, the son of Lanshan Viscount. He was once a great scholar and wrote a book called "Lovers' Dreams". But in the end, he was beaten to the ground by Shen Lang's "Endless Romance".
After that, Viscount Lanshan's residence was flooded by Shen Lang, and Viscount Zhu Lanting was killed by Shen Lang.
After his family was destroyed, Zhu Wenhua participated in the imperial examination and became a seventh-rank imperial censor. As soon as he took office, he denounced Shen Lang and accused the Kim family of colluding with Wu State to rebel. As a result, he was almost killed by Shen Lang. He was first flogged by Ning Yuanxian, and then sent to the Supreme Court's prison.
Under normal circumstances, Zhu Wenhua would spend the rest of his life in prison. He wouldn't be able to get out. But after Shen Lang's identity was exposed, everything changed.
All the enemies of Shen Lang who were still alive became the absolute heroes. As long as they were not dead, those in prison were all acquitted, and those who were dismissed were all restored to their posts.
Zhu Wenhua was released and transferred to the Black Tortoise City to be the Castellan. He could be considered as the official of Shen Lang's hometown.
Of course, there was another person who had a more magical experience. That was the Tang family of Jinhai Count House, which used to compete with the Kim family for Jinshan Island.
After Shen Lang's strategy of ruling from across the sea succeeded, Ning Yuanxian slapped the Jinhai Count House to death, and almost all the family members were beheaded. Count Jinhai knew that a disaster was coming, so he asked the Crown Prince Tang Yun to expose him in advance, which saved Tang Yun's life. To be exact, Zhu Jung, the governor of Tiannan Province at that time, saved him.
But when Ning Yuanxian was on the throne, this Crown Prince Tang Yun never had a chance to rise. He was always unknown, and it seemed that he would never rise again in this life.
But no one expected that such a great change would happen. After Shen Lang became the biggest traitor of the Great Yan Dynasty, Tang Yun also became a hero because he had been his enemy. And his starting point was too high. He passed the general examination a few years ago and was ranked third.
The most important thing was that he was backed by Zhu Jung. After Ning Shao ascended the throne, Tang Yun stayed in the capital for a few months, and then became the governor of Nujiang Prefecture. He was almost the youngest governor of the whole State of Yue.
Everyone could see that the Zhu family wanted to focus on training Tang Yun. Within 20 years, he could enter the cabinet and become one of the prime ministers.
The world was really full of ups and downs.
Of course, back to Xu Qianqian.
She was supposed to be beheaded along with her entire clan, but she managed to survive.
Because she offered all of her family's assets to Zhuo Zhaoyan.
Of course, her Xu Xiu was already gone, so the so-called offering wasn't important. But the key was that she had the talent for management, and could bring great benefits to the Zhuo family.
Zhuo Zhaoyan had contributed to the revelation of Shen Lang's identity, which was why the Zhuo family had risen to power. However, it was still considered a comeback, and they needed a lot of capital. Hence, Zhuo Zhaoyan accepted Xu Qianqian's offer of allegiance, which saved the lives of the Xu family.
But from then on, Xu Qianqian had to work hard for the Zhuo family to earn money.
She worked hard to manage the mulberry fields and spin them into silk, but the money she earned from selling them had nothing to do with her.
She cursed Zhuo Zhaoyan almost every day, but it was no use. She was just a weak woman, and she had family to protect. She could only be exploited.
But now, she once again felt danger.
The shopkeepers Zhuo Zhaoyan sent could gradually replace her, and they could take over many of the businesses.
Once Xu Qianqian lost her value to Zhuo Zhaoyan, it was time for her to die.
Zhuo Zhaoyan was a woman with a dark heart. No matter how respectful and loyal Xu Qianqian was, she couldn't gain her trust.
Recently, Xu Qianqian clearly felt that she was in trouble, but there was nothing she could do.
In this world where tigers and wolves ruled, she was like a lamb.
And at this time, someone came to find her.
… …
"Did Shen Lang touch you?" Xuanwu City Lord Zhu Wenhua was very direct.
Xu Qianqian said directly, "Of course he did. How could a scum like him let me go?"
She lied. Shen Lang had never touched her before. Up until now, she was still pure and flawless. But she was worried that if she said she was still a virgin, it would make Zhu Wenhua drool.
"That's great." Zhu Wenhua said, "I want to have a taste of Shen Lang's women. That Ximen Qianqian in 'Endless Romance' was you, right? I can't stop looking at that picture."
Xu Qianqian's face paled.
Zhu Wenhua said, "You know, my Zhu family has a manor with thousands of acres of land, so I can also do the silk business. I'm lacking a shopkeeper, someone who can build a business empire from nothing. You're a good choice. "
Xu Qianqian understood. As the City Lord of Xuanwu, Zhu Wenhua wasn't willing to let the silk business in Nujiang be monopolized by the Zhuo family, and wanted a share of the profits. After all, who didn't lack money? Especially if Zhu Wenhua wanted to climb up, he would need a lot of money.
Zhu Wenhua said, "Your situation with the Zhuo family isn't good, right? Your value is about to run out. As long as the Zhuo family's shopkeepers smoothly take over, you'll be killed after you've outlived your usefulness. Zhuo Zhaoyan is a vicious woman, especially to beautiful women who had a relationship with Shen Lang. So you're dead meat, and your whole family is dead meat. "
Xu Qianqian didn't say a word.
Zhu Wenhua said, "Come and rely on me, earn money for me, and I can protect you and your whole family. Most importantly, I'm a man, and I won't kill you after you've outlived your usefulness. So, not only will you be my shopkeeper, you'll also be my concubine. This way, the money you earn will be for your family, so of course you'll be more diligent. "
Xu Qianqian's heart felt like it was about to explode.
Was the world really so dark? Was there really no way for her to live?
Zhu Wenhua said, "What? Is it a grievance to be my concubine? I'm a Jinshi of the State of Yue, and the Castellan of Xuanwu, the son of the Lanshan Viscount. "
Xu Qianqian was a typical oriental beauty. She used to be plump, but she'd been overworked for the past two years, so she'd lost some weight. Her delicate figure was even more alluring, and she was already twenty-seven years old, the most beautiful and mature age for a woman.
It would definitely make one salivate.
Because of the sins committed by Shen Lang, Xu Qianqian was still considered a goddess in the eyes of the world.
Zhu Wenhua glanced at her figure greedily, fantasizing about how wonderful it would be to have this woman.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Qianqian said, "Lord Zhu, I'm now a member of the Anting Count House."
Zhu Wenhua said, "Have you signed a contract to sell yourself?"
Xu Qianqian said, "Of course not. I'm the head shopkeeper of the Zhuo family's silk business. I'm a free person."
Zhu Wenhua said, "Then that's it. You're a free person, and you're not married either. It's only right and proper for me to take you as my concubine. Zhuo Zhaoyan can't say anything wrong. As for our silk business in the future, that's our own business. "
Xu Qianqian was about to speak again, but Zhu Wenhua stopped her with a wave of his hand, "Stop, I don't want to hear any explanations. You only have two choices. First, obediently become my concubine. Second, your entire family will die. "
"I'm going to Raging Tide and will be back after a while. You must give me an answer when I return. "
"Xu Qianqian, no one can save you. Even big shots like Ning Zheng, Bian Xiao, and Zhang Chong have to die, not to mention a small shrimp like you. Of course, it's precisely because you're a small shrimp that I can manipulate you. You won't have to die as long as you become my woman. "
"Go back and think about it. Do you want your entire family to die?"
Xu Qianqian left the Xuanwu City Lord Manor and returned home like a walking corpse, her heart filled with despair.
She felt as though the entire world was in complete darkness.
She couldn't help but look towards the eastern sky. When would the east be bright? What if dawn arrived?
… … …
The Devil's Triangle.
A specially-made ship gradually entered the forbidden zone of this dark world.
In an instant, it was as though they'd entered hell. Dark clouds shrouded everything.
"Crackle …" Countless bolts of lightning tore through the darkness.
There were tornadoes everywhere, filled with heaven destroying power, wreaking havoc everywhere.
There was no way to avoid the lightning because there were simply too many of them. Ordinary ships would be destroyed if struck by lightning.
However, Shen Lang's special ship had been modified to resist lightning, so the next step was to avoid the tornadoes. The tornadoes here were extremely powerful. Even if Shen Lang's ship was huge, it could easily tear it apart.
Previously, Mulan was able to avoid the tornadoes by relying on her ability to sense nature.
And now, Shen Lang had to rely on a secret weapon.
The Skeleton pirates had obtained many treasures from the ruins of the Lost Nation, one of which was a special compass that could sense tornadoes.
Along the way, Shen Lang's fleet relied on this to avoid a few huge storms.
Of course, it could not predict in advance. When the tornadoes were still 10,000 meters away, it could sense special fluctuations and give directions. The ship would avoid that direction.
Of course, if the tornadoes suddenly formed nearby and swept towards them?
Then they could only blame it on their bad luck. Basically, it would be difficult to avoid the fate of the ship being smashed into pieces.
As for the reefs that were everywhere, they had to leave it to Princess Dola and the other powerful Amazon Rankers. They jumped into the sea and led the way.
Of course, even so, it was still extremely dangerous. The probability of the ship being destroyed and the people dying was not small.
But in order to reunite with his family, Shen Lang could only take the risk.
But …
Unexpectedly, all the preparations that Shen Lang had made were all unnecessary.
His ship had just entered the wall of darkness of the Great Devil Triangle when a bright light suddenly appeared in front of them.
It was like a special bird that directly drilled out of the sea, its body emitting light like a firefly.
It first flew a few circles around Yao Xiao's head, then flew in front to lead the way.
Just like that, Shen Lang's ship easily avoided all the tornadoes and reefs, and calmly headed towards the world inside the Great Devil Triangle.
Yao Xiao's baby was really amazing.
The surrounding world was still like hell. Lightning struck desperately, and the nearest tornado was only a few hundred meters away.
Shen Lang's ship seemed to be smashed into pieces at any time, but it was safe and sound.
After an entire day and night!
Shen Lang's special ship passed through the wall of the Forbidden Zone that was shrouded in darkness and entered the Great Devil Triangle, seeing a new world.
Then, he was stunned, even though he had heard Princess Helen's description.
… …
That's right!
The architectural style here was the same as the ruins of the Lost Country.
It was just that this place was even more dreamy.
Half of the endless city ruins were above the sea, and the other half had been submerged by the sea.
Shen Lang had never seen such a big city. He couldn't see the edge at all. Even the world on Earth didn't have such a big city.
The bird seemed to live in the darkness. After taking Shen Lang's ship out of the terrible dark fog, it disappeared without a trace.
Shen Lang's ship carefully passed through the ruins of the city.
It was so beautiful! A dreamy city.
Moreover, this place was different from the ruins of the Lost Country. There were no traces of the existence of later civilizations here. It was directly left behind by the ancient world.
A civilization was born in the ruins of the Lost Country three or four thousand years ago, which was named the New Lost Empire by Shen Lang.
This place was still the same as it was before it was destroyed ten thousand years ago.
But isn't it a bit too quiet here?
According to Helen, there were sea monsters everywhere, more than in the Lost Country, and there were all kinds of powerful sea monsters.
Why can't I see a single one now?
However, Shen Lang knew that he was still more than five thousand miles away from the base where his family lived.
He was now in the east of the Great Devil Triangle, while Mulan's base was in the west.
Shen Lang's ship sped up and sailed towards Mulan's base.
… …
The feeling in Shen Lang's heart was getting worse and worse.
For the past few days, his ship had been shuttling through the ruins of the Great Devil Triangle, and he didn't even see a single sea monster.
This was definitely not normal. It was too strange.
"Quick, quick, speed up …"
Following Shen Lang's order, this special ship no longer moved cautiously and quickly sailed towards its destination.
After sailing for six days and six nights, they finally reached their destination.
After that, Shen Lang saw a scene that made his blood run cold.
He finally knew why there were no sea monsters on the way. They were all gathered here.
The scene in front of him was much more shocking than the scene in the ruins of the Lost Country.
Within a hundred miles, there were all kinds of sea monsters.
There were all kinds of sea monsters. The small ones were the size of humans, and the big ones were as huge as a ship.
It looked like a nightmare. It was like a hell of dense terror.
An ocean of monsters.
The astronomical figure was boundless.
At least over a million, definitely over a million.
It was simply suffocating. Furthermore, the sea monsters here were much stronger than those in the ruins of the Lost Country. With just a glance, Shen Lang saw at least a few types of sea monsters, unlike the ruins of the Lost Country, which only had one type.
Hila trembled. "Brother, tell me, this is an illusion. This isn't real."
Shen Lang also hoped that it was an illusion, but it was a pity that it was all real.
This astronomical number of sea monsters surrounded a pyramid. That place was called the Lost Temple by Princess Helen, and it was also the place where she settled Shen Lang's family.
This was because this pyramid was like a forbidden place to these sea monsters, and they did not dare to enter.
This pyramid was very tall and huge. There was soil and a sky garden on it, which could provide a huge amount of food.
Even from hundreds of miles away, Shen Lang could see the magnificent figure of this great pyramid.
"Oh my god, this pyramid is much bigger than the Amazon tribe," Princess Dola exclaimed. "It's like a mountain."
Shen Lang estimated that the part of this pyramid that was exposed above the sea was more than seven hundred meters long.
No wonder it could easily settle a few thousand people.
But now, more than a million sea monsters surrounded this pyramid, turning it into an isolated island.
And the deeper they went, the bigger and more shocking the sea monsters were.
His family was inside this great pyramid, but there were millions of sea monsters in between. How was he going to get in? What was the difference between breaking in and entering hell?
"My dear brother, I am willing to fight for you and die for you," Hila said. "But in this situation, I would rather die than fight these sea monsters," Hila said.
Hila did not want to, and Shen Lang did not want to either.
There were less than a hundred people on this ship, and there were millions of sea monsters.
It could easily tear them into pieces and eat them up, turning them into feces.
But why?
Why were these millions of sea monsters surrounding this great pyramid?
And they did not attack, just quietly surrounding it. It was a creepy sight.
Shen Lang took a deep breath and said, "Break in, go to the great pyramid."
"Yes!"
The Skeleton pirates controlled the ship and rushed into the sea of millions of sea monsters.
Then …
A strange scene occurred once again.
The countless sea monsters actually opened up a path for them.
This wasn't like what happened in the ruins of the Lost Nation, where countless sea monsters were attracted by the mirage and were completely obsessed. But this time, the sea monsters were awake, but they did not attack. Instead, they opened up a path.
This was too magical. Could it be that our little one is the Little Sea King?
Or did something happen in the Devil's Triangle that caused these sea monsters to lose the will to kill?
Just like that, wherever Shen Lang's ship passed, countless sea monsters would give way.
They were getting closer and closer to the great pyramid.
At this point, Shen Lang almost suffocated because the sea monsters were getting bigger and bigger, until they were even bigger than his ship. From the looks of it, they could directly overturn his ship.
But these sea monsters still did not move. As Shen Lang's ship arrived, they also opened up a path.
These sea monsters seemed to have some intelligence, and Shen Lang actually saw their eyes filled with despair.
It was the kind of eyes that looked like the end of the world had arrived.
Why, why is this happening?
But Shen Lang knew that the reason why the millions of sea monsters did not attack was not entirely because of Baby Yaoyao, but because something big had happened in this pyramid.
"I don't know why, but my heart is beating faster for no reason," Hila suddenly said.
Shen Lang closed his eyes, and very soon, he felt a special wave. It was still inaudible, but he could feel it.
"Beep beep beep beep …"
After analyzing it, Shen Lang found that the frequency of this wave transmission was about once per second.
But it was getting faster and faster.
The frequency was getting higher and higher.
Very soon, Shen Lang made a judgment.
This was a countdown, a countdown to destruction!
Not good, this is not good!
This pyramid was about to explode, or more accurately, its underground energy core was about to explode.
Once the big pyramid in the Amazon Kingdom exploded, the entire Amazon Island would completely melt and disappear. But this pyramid in front of him was several times bigger, and the power of the explosion was many times stronger.
Once it exploded, the consequences would be unimaginable.
No wonder all the sea monsters would gather here. This pyramid could be considered their holy temple. And now, it was about to be destroyed, and the sea monsters could not stop it at all. Therefore, they chose to gather around the temple of the pyramid and perish together with it.
They were planning to die!
No wonder they had lost all their aggression.
When the end of the world came, even if the countries on Earth were mortal enemies, they would probably stop fighting.
However, Shen Lang's family was still inside. If the pyramid were to explode, his family and several thousand people would all be annihilated.
"Quick, quick, quick …"
Without saying anything else, Chou Yao'er carried Shen Lang and rushed toward the gate of the pyramid. Hila carried Yaoyao and followed closely behind. Princess Dola led a few Amazon experts and quickly rushed in.
The entrance of the pyramid was huge, more than dozens of meters wide.
There was a relief on the door, Queen Medusa with a human face and snake body, but Shen Lang could not be bothered to look at it and directly rushed into the entrance.
… …
After passing through the long tunnel, Shen Lang entered the great pyramid of the Lost Temple.
The millions of sea monsters outside still did not stop him. Their eyes were still filled with despair, quietly waiting for the arrival of destruction.
As he ran through the long tunnel, Shen Lang prayed in his heart. Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please.
This tunnel was really long, and he could not even see his fingers in front of him.
Suddenly …
The dark tunnel ended, and a ray of light dazzled his eyes.
He entered the Lost Temple.
The top of this pyramid was actually transparent, so sunlight shone in, illuminating the entire temple as if it was daytime.
Then, Shen Lang saw his family.
He saw the Big Fool, Goddess Xue Yin, Sword King Li Qianqiu, Princess Ning Yan, and so on.
In an instant!
Everyone was stunned. They all did the same action in unison, which was to rub their eyes.
Because they all suspected that they were dreaming. How could Shen Lang suddenly appear in front of them?
Over the past two years, they had had this kind of beautiful dream countless times, to the point that they could not even tell whether this scene was real or a dream.
Princess Ning Yan asked cautiously, "Scum?"
"Big Fool?" Shen Lang replied.
Then, the countless people on the other side fell into a state of complete chaos.
This was not a dream, this was not a dream!
Shen Lang had really come!
A miracle had really happened.
The heavens had really sent Shen Lang to them.
A moment later, Ning Yan and Xue Yin rushed over.
Xue Yin's martial arts were still a bit higher.
She directly rushed in front of Shen Lang and threw herself into his arms.
But very quickly, she felt that something was wrong, so she switched places and hugged Shen Lang.
Mhm, this is much more comfortable.
She was so happy that she felt like her heart was about to explode.
Shen Lang's family was reunited!
But there was no time to celebrate.
Beep beep beep beep …
The countdown in Shen Lang's brain was getting more and more intense.
I have to leave quickly, this Great Pyramid will soon explode.
If I don't leave now, I will be turned into ashes.
Go, go, go.
Immediately leave this Great Pyramid, immediately leave the Great Devil Triangle.
But …
Soon, Shen Lang got an answer: it was impossible to leave.
According to the frequency of the countdown, the explosion would happen in 15 minutes at most.
Just 15 minutes, where could they run? How amazing was the explosion power of this Great Pyramid?
Even millions of sea monsters chose to die together with the pyramid.
Not to mention 15 minutes, even if it was an hour, five hours, Shen Lang and his family would not be able to escape the range of the explosion.
"Beep, beep, beep …"
The countdown of the Great Destruction was getting faster and faster.
Now, Shen Lang only had one choice, and that was to stop this big explosion.
This way, not only could he save his family, but he could also save millions of sea monsters outside.
What the hell, Shen Lang did not expect that he would have to save sea monsters one day.
There was no time to explain, he had to race against time.
Shen Lang ran toward the bottom of the pyramid.
Because all the energy core was underground, he had to stop it from exploding.
But this time, Shen Lang did not have the password to enter the underground energy core, let alone the password to stop the explosion.
But he had no choice.
In order to save his family, he had to risk it all. Either he succeeded or he was smashed to pieces.
Chou Yao'er hugged Shen Lang and ran toward the bottom of the Great Pyramid.
Suddenly, Hila caught up with Yaoxiao.
"I have to bring Yaoxiao baby, because she is our miracle angel!"
… …
Note: I slept for less than four hours last night, and I feel like my eyes are about to burst. Writing until now, there is no food to eat outside. I will make a bag of instant noodles and continue writing the second chapter after eating it! Brothers, give me your monthly votes and help me maintain my willpower! Please.
