Shen Shiyun was so angry that she laughed. "Who would've thought that you would be so careless? I've stopped trusting anyone for a long time. I trusted Luojin enough back then, didn't I? But didn't you easily seduce her? You betrayed me without a second word. It's a good thing I discovered it early. You're treating Xiao Xuan like this to humiliate me, aren't you? "Jiang Jianchen said," She's her and you're you. What's the connection between the two? It's just that your servant girls are naturally a bit cheap and annoy me with their pestering. "
Shen Shiyun sneered, "Yes, liking you is cheap. You're a cheap person to begin with. But that face of yours is truly a scourge. It specializes in tricking ignorant girls into falling head over heels for you. It's a good thing the heavens have eyes and destroyed the face you're so proud of. "Jiang Jianchen raised his hand and grabbed the edge of the mask. He said faintly," Do you want to see? "
Shen Shiyun sneered, "Forget it. I think you'll be as scary as you can be after you're disfigured. I don't want to have nightmares. "Jiang Jianchen said," But don't think that you can rely on your beauty to win favor for the rest of your life. Emperors love the new and hate the old. He can have as many beauties as he wants. But women are born to age and beauty fades quickly. When the time comes, he won't have any lingering feelings for you. I can tell you in advance that he won't be an emperor for long. But you, as an imperial concubine, won't be able to last until he steps down. "
Shen Shiyun said, "Thank you for your reminder. I'll keep it in mind. You also listen well. You killed my entire family. The price you paid is not as simple as losing half of your face. Everyone that you care about, everyone that you cherish, this consort will kill them all without leaving a single one alive. You'll be the only one left in the world. You'll be tortured before you'll be allowed to die of depression. I told you these things in the tomb. You didn't care then. How about now? Can you tell that I have this ability? "
Jiang Jianchen said, "I never said you didn't." With a cold smile, he pinched her chin and leaned close to her face. He said softly, "Then if I say that I'm in love with you now, will you immediately end your own life to relieve me of my pain?"
Shen Shiyun's face turned ashen. She pushed his hand away and said angrily, "What nonsense is there to talk about?"
Jiang Jianchen said, "You should know very well whether or not it's nonsense. But right now, I really don't know whether I should love you or hate you. "Shen Shiyun frowned and said," What do you mean? "
Jiang Jianchen poured himself another bowl of wine and tapped his fingers lightly on the table. "You convinced the fallen hallmaster to submit to the imperial court at first, and then racked your brains to make a big deal out of Menglin's incident to drive a wedge between us. And then you ordered him to kill me. Actually, you never intended to let him succeed, you just wanted me to kill him with my own hands, and then you would be tormented by guilt and pain. Isn't that right? "Shen Shiyun gently cupped Wei Xiaobao's face with one hand; she smiled and said," Smart. He's not qualified to kill you. "
Jiang Jianchen said, "I was the one who destroyed Shadowless Mountain Villa. It has nothing to do with him. Why do you want to drag him into this?" Shen Shiyun laughed coldly. "What reason do you want to ask? All the demons of the Sacrificial Shadow Sect deserve to die. I want nothing more than to capture all of you and put you to death by a thousand cuts. Only then can I appease the hatred in my heart! If there's internal strife in the sect and I can take care of a part of it, why not? "
Jiang Jianchen's eyes were cold. After a long time, he said, "Let me ask you another question. How did Menglin die? "
Shen Shiyun smiled. "So Jiang Shengjun doesn't know? I thought you were the most well-informed person in the jianghu. It seems that you're a Hierarch in vain, and your subordinates are just a bunch of good-for-nothings. It was after Prince De Yu's death that she felt that there was no hope for life and drowned herself. She really got off easy by drowning early. Otherwise, my methods for dealing with her wouldn't have been so easy. Chu Menglin was also the murderer of my entire family. Would I have buried her properly? Even if she died, she wouldn't have been able to rest in peace. I ordered people to cut her into pieces and feed the pieces to the dogs. Not even a whole corpse was left. I've heard people say that if the corpse is incomplete, she won't even have the qualifications to be reincarnated. Just let her soul wander the world. Who knows, maybe she's standing behind you right now with a green face and fangs, waiting to suck your blood? "
Her words were so venomous that Jiang Jianchen couldn't keep up his facade of calmness. The wine in his bowl swayed violently. He sighed deeply and said, "I have one last question. Are you so sure that this plan can be carried out? "
Shen Shiyun said, "Of course. First, 'Cruel Fiend Star' … hmph, that's the name, isn't it? He was too infatuated with Chu Menglin. As long as it was something related to her, he would lose his mind and completely lose his ability to think. He would then be at my mercy. You stuck your head out everywhere in the sect, suppressing him until he couldn't raise his head. On the surface, he's your brother, but in his heart, he definitely hates you. You two have always been at odds, but just because of this, he won't kill you. However, that demoness betrayed you. For someone like you who haggles over every detail, it's very likely that you'll kill her to vent your anger. Anyone would first think this way. In the wulin, love gives birth to hatred. A beautiful story will eventually lead to blood spattering three feet. How many examples are there? As long as he has this doubt, it's enough. I'll add a few more points. Without my instructions, he'll naturally go all out to kill the enemy who killed the woman he loves. Speaking of which, I actually sympathize with him. He's really pitiful. For a woman who didn't love him at all, and who even committed suicide for someone else, he threw his life away in vain. Secondly, don't forget that six years ago, you seduced Luo Jin for the same purpose. Right now, I'm just giving him a taste of his own medicine. How is it? I've learned very quickly, haven't I? It's all because you've taught me well. However, the student has surpassed the master. I've played it even more beautifully than you. I've even taken down the Demon Sect. The fact that this matter has gone so smoothly is beyond my expectations. "
When Jiang Jianchen heard her joke about An Yesun's tragic death, he couldn't hold back his anger any longer. His hand fiercely clenched, crushing the wine bowl into pieces. The pieces flew in all directions. His anger still hadn't subsided. He pulled Shen Shiyun to her feet and fiercely pushed her out.
Shen Shiyun wasn't prepared at all. With a cry of surprise, she threw herself onto a nearby square table. Her arm swept horizontally, sweeping all the cups and dishes on the table to the ground. The sound of porcelain breaking rang out. Her chin coincidentally hit the corner of the table, causing tears to gush out of her eyes from the pain. Jiang Jianchen coldly said, "Luo Jin's life is nothing but worthless. How dare you compare her to my brother?"
Shen Shiyun awkwardly leaned half of her body on the table. She thought about how Luo Jin was so infatuated with him that she didn't hesitate to betray her master who had followed her for a long time. She didn't hesitate to give up all the glory and wealth. In the end, because she was worried that he would blame her, she was willing to throw herself into a well and die. If she knew that her sacrifice was all part of his plan, how would she feel? However, she felt that it wasn't worth it. After listening to Jiang Jianchen's heartless replies, she was burning with anger. She turned around and tugged at his sleeve. As soon as he turned around, she gathered her courage and slapped him across the face. She said, "What right do you have to say that about Luo Jin?" This time, the slap was solid and crisp. Even her palm was faintly red.
Jiang Jianchen had planned to humiliate Shen Shiyun without restraint. He felt that she was tugging at his sleeve like a little sheep. He was secretly pleased with himself. Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned his head, a slap came crashing down on his face. Ever since he became the Hierarch of the Shadow Sacrifice Shrine, he had never been slapped by anyone in the past six years. This time, he was almost stunned on the spot. He was tongue-tied. "You … you dare hit me? … "
In his opinion, the pain was secondary. However, if someone dared to humiliate him like this, then he definitely wouldn't let them off easily. "Bang! Bang!" This time, it wasn't just a single slap. Instead, he clenched his fists and fiercely smashed them on both sides of her face. Shen Shiyun saw stars in front of her eyes. Her ears buzzed and blood seeped out of the corner of her mouth.
She was also delicate and had been protected by Shunzhi in every possible way. Suddenly being hit, she was in so much pain that she almost fainted. Before she could cry out, Jiang Jianchen didn't let her off. He raised his hand and grabbed her throat. He pushed her all the way to the corner of the wall, his hand still fiercely strangling her. Shen Shiyun's face was deathly pale. Her hands pounded on his wrist a few times. She gradually lost her strength and her breathing dissipated.
When Jiang Jianchen saw that she was about to die, he finally let go of his hand and moved to the side. He pressed her shoulder against the wall and laughed coldly. "I won't kill you. I still want to slowly torture you. When everyone around you is completely dead, then I'll send you on the road of despair. How you treated me, I'll return it to you in the same way. One for ten, isn't this a good deal? "
Shen Shiyun took a few laborious breaths of air. Only then did she manage to regain consciousness. The black fog in front of her hadn't dispersed yet. She couldn't see clearly. She gritted her teeth and said, "You … what do you hate me for? It's you, demon, who ruined my family and left me alone and without anyone to rely on … so I want to take revenge on you. Is this wrong? "
Jiang Jianchen's eyes were bloodshot. "Those family members of yours … were insignificant. They didn't deserve to die! Who can compare to my brother? "Shen Shiyun said," You killed him with your own hands! Was it me who held a sword to your neck and forced you to kill him? "
Jiang Jianchen said, "Shut up! Don't try to quibble with me! I don't like to listen to those grand principles. The only thing I believe in is that the winner is king. " Shen Shiyun knew that she couldn't blindly obey him. She argued, "Fine then. No matter what methods I used, it was me who caused the destruction of the Demon Sect and instigated you and your brother to kill each other. I'm the winner. You're not as skilled as me, so you should bow your head and admit defeat. "
Jiang Jianchen said coldly, "In the battles of the world, I'm the only one who can win in the end. Shen Shiyun, what skills do you have that surpasses others? Don't forget that your current status and power were all obtained by accompanying the emperor in bed. Apart from this, what else do you have to fight me? " As he spoke, he flicked his wrist and revealed a short blade. He held the blade against Shen Shiyun's cheek. "Tell me, what would happen if I disfigure your beautiful face?"
Shen Shiyun felt something cold and sharp pressed against her face. Although it cooled down the burning sensation on her cheeks a little, she was still worried that this devil's actions were treacherous. If he didn't agree with her, he would really destroy her face. She frowned, "No … don't …"
Jiang Jianchen said, "I hate hearing people say 'don't' to me the most. What does it have to do with me whether you want it or not? Are you worthy of ordering me around? " Shen Shiyun said, "What … what's done can't be undone. The Demon Sect has already been destroyed. It's useless for you to take revenge on me …"
Jiang Jianchen said, "Well said, smart!" Shen Shiyun thought that he had convinced him and forced out a weak smile. However, Jiang Jianchen's tone suddenly changed. He said coldly, "It would've been great if you'd understood this earlier. The people of Shadowless Mountain Villa are dead. No matter how successful your revenge is, they won't climb out of their graves again. I'll be frank with you, my sect's subordinates are all trash. Soldiers like this can be recruited anywhere. If you kill them, then kill them. I'm more than happy to be free of the sect's restrictions. I've always treated you with respect before this, haven't I? "
Shen Shiyun thought that she couldn't beg for a compromise at this point, but she couldn't be too forceful either. So she nodded, "Except … that time in the ancient tomb." She had her own plans. Since Jiang Jianchen had said that day was still fresh in his memory, whether it was true or not, it should at least calm him down.
It would've been fine if she hadn't mentioned it, but now that she did, Jiang Jianchen became even angrier. "You did plan to destroy my Sacrificial Shadow Sect, but you weren't in such a hurry. You wanted to make more preparations and destroy us all in one fell swoop. But that time in the ancient tomb, you thought that you were deeply humiliated and couldn't take it lying down. As soon as you returned to the palace, you immediately took action. In any case, there was still that idiot Li Yijie. No matter what you said, he would do it. That was the fuse, hmm? "
Shen Shiyun could only nod. Jiang Jianchen said, "You wanted to deal with me. Although I've always been busy, I could've taken some time out to play with you. However, you dragged him into this matter. I won't do it for myself, but for my brother. I'll seek justice and pay tribute to his deceased wife's soul. "The tip of the blade sliced downwards, leaving a line of blood on Shen Shiyun's face. He'd still held back a little. Although the skin was broken and bleeding, the injury was only superficial. It wouldn't leave a scar after it healed.
Shen Shiyun couldn't see anything. She only felt a searing pain on her face. She thought that her face had been disfigured and that she'd become an ugly woman who couldn't see anyone again. She was out of her wits and didn't even have the strength to cry.
Jiang Jianchen raised the dagger and waved the bloodstained blade in front of her. He tossed it away and snorted coldly, "I didn't think that your blood would be red. I thought that you'd do all sorts of evil deeds, so even your blood should be black. "Shen Shiyun gritted her teeth." But I can't be more black than you. "
Jiang Jianchen said, "It's all about the same. Oh right, I have another idea. Don't you like to seduce the emperor? As long as you strip naked in front of him, he'll do anything you want. Since you like to take off your clothes so much, why don't you go out on the streets and parade like Chen Xiangxiang? Let everyone see that this is the noble, elegant, dignified, and virtuous Noble Consort Yun. This is a beautiful scene that doesn't cost money. The streets will be filled with a sea of people. What do you think? "
Shen Shiyun said angrily, "You … although you're my enemy, I've always thought highly of you. How can you say such vulgar and shameless things?" Jiang Jianchen said, "Why can't I? You can do it, and you can do it with relish. Why can't I say it? Noble Consort Yun, are you really a chaste and virtuous woman? Back in the Agarwood Courtyard, you've already shown almost everything that can be seen on your body to those brothel patrons. Since you don't want to lose face in the palace, why don't you avoid your husband's face? Isn't that giving thought to you? "
Shen Shiyun said angrily, "You … you're talking nonsense! At that time I sold … didn't … "But when she thought about how she was now an imperial consort, it was really hard for her to say the words of a brothel woman. Jiang Jianchen said," Can't say it? I'll say it for you. Selling your art but not your body, right? Nowadays, every prostitute says that. "
Shen Shiyun was both embarrassed and angry. She said, "You … since you're an important person, don't bully a weak woman. I …" Jiang Jianchen said, "That's not up to you." As he spoke, his fingers sliced through the air. His movements were swift, and Shen Shiyun's sash was completely torn. Her thin dress slid down her body. Shen Shiyun panicked and covered her chest with her hands, tightly pressing down on her clothes. In the midst of her struggle, half of her sleeves were torn off.
At this moment, an angry shout suddenly came from the door, "Bullying men and taking women, what kind of hero are you? Stop!" Jiang Jianchen and Shen Shiyun turned their heads at the same time and saw the Xuan Shuang rushing in angrily. They didn't say much as they took turns attacking Jiang Jianchen together.
Jiang Jianchen casually parried, dodging through the gap between his wrists and striking his fist with his palm. The Xuan Shuang suddenly felt a strong force pressing down on his chest. He fell back several steps before he could barely stand up and lean against the wall. Jiang Jianchen laughed coldly and said, "Kid, where did you learn your martial arts? You haven't practiced enough. "
Shen Shiyun was shocked and said, "Xuan Shuang? What are you doing here? Get out! "
The Xuan Shuang said angrily, "I'm not leaving! I'm not like Li Yijie, who only calls himself a hero. I'm stronger than him! "
Jiang Jianchen said, "Hmm? You're the Lord Baylor Ling's Xuan Shuang? " Back in Hetuala, the Xuan Shuang had been forced to exchange a few words with him for the sake of Cheng Jiaxuan. But at that time, Jiang Jianchen had been preoccupied with Shen Shiyun's matter and hadn't paid attention to him at all. He'd even thought that he was a cowherd boy from a nearby village. Naturally, he wouldn't be able to recognize him now that he was wearing his brother's clothes.
The Xuan Shuang thought about how Cheng Jiaxuan had a soft spot for him. Not only did he not appreciate it, he even made things difficult for Xiao Xuan at every turn. It was truly infuriating. He said angrily, "So what if I am? Besides, it's not up to you to decide whether or not my martial arts are good enough! "As he said this, he once again took up a stance and attacked.
Jiang Jianchen glanced at him and saw that his moves were full of flaws. He laughed coldly and said, "You're really too weak. How about this seat give you a few pointers?" He waved his hand and neutralized the two fists in front of him. The Xuan Shuang took the opportunity to turn around and kick his face. Jiang Jianchen casually raised his hand and grabbed his ankle. His fingers intertwined, and then he swung his arm and flung him to the ground.
The Xuan Shuang felt a sharp pain in his ankle and fell to the ground. Seeing Jiang Jianchen's palm coming for the top of his head, he opened his mouth and bit Jiang Jianchen's wrist, refusing to let go. Jiang Jianchen said angrily, "Damn it! Let go of me! "When he raised his hand, he also lifted Xuan Shuang from the ground and slammed him fiercely against the table. The Xuan Shuang's head was bruised and bleeding.
Jiang Jianchen raised his hand and swung it at the wall for the last time. The Xuan Shuang's forehead slammed heavily against the wall. Finally, he couldn't support himself and fell to the ground. Jiang Jianchen raised his leg and kicked him to the side. He walked in front of Shen Shiyun and said in a low voice, "Today was just a lesson for you. This seat is a man of his word. I won't let this matter rest. It won't be so simple next time. "After he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeve and leapt out of the window, disappearing without a trace. Shen Shiyun was so angry that he felt dizzy and fainted.
