Ever since arriving in Tianshui City, Nai’er rarely made such formal and elegant preparations.
She was either in warrior’s training attire or a languid nightdress. From heroic and dashing to alluring and captivating, there was no transition whatsoever between the two.
But at this moment, she was wearing an ice-blue long dress, appearing peerlessly beautiful, noble, graceful, and magnanimous.
In an instant, one was reminded that she was the true Tianshui Countess, the mistress of Tianshui City.
Seeing Yan Nai’er’s appearance, Fang Qingshu’s eyes brightened greatly, his breath catching.
He had seen Yan Nai’er once before, but upon seeing her this time, she was actually three parts more beautiful. Could being nourished by a man truly have such an effect? Or was it because of the demon blood?
This kind of cold, frosty beauty was truly soul-shaking.
It was not merely her peerlessly beautiful face. Even more explosive was her figure, with curves rising and falling to an almost exaggerated degree.
Fang Qingshu had seen countless women, but when it came to the sheer explosiveness of her figure, none could compare to the Yan Nai’er before him.
Instantly, Fang Qingshu’s jealousy of Suo Lun’s good fortune in love grew even greater.
Why? A petty feudal lord actually enjoying such heavenly good fortune?
However, this peerless beauty before him would soon fall into his hands. Once she entered the Dragon God Temple, she would truly be like a sheep entering a tiger’s den, completely at the mercy of his ** manipulations.
Thinking of her nearly exaggerated, explosive figure, Fang Qingshu’s body grew hot.
“Suo Lun, you slept with my forbidden fruit. I will torment your wife.” Fang Qingshu’s heart burned, his gaze ice-cold.
Then, he walked before Yan Nai’er and said, “Yan Nai’er, fiancée of Tianshui City Lord Suo Lun, is that correct? You are suspected of anti-Dragon God force and anti-Dragon God faith. I am formally arresting you!”
“What kind of thing are you, daring to arrest my elder sister?” Suddenly, the devastatingly beautiful Gui Qinshao charged out. Tu Lingsi behind her could not stop her.
Gui Qinshao had seized this opportunity with great difficulty, because she felt marginalised in Tianshui City and thus found an opportunity to show goodwill towards Yan Nai’er.
Seeing Gui Qinshao’s appearance, the onlookers around the City Lord’s residence trembled once more.
Good heavens, the good fortune in love of this Tianshui Count Suo Lun was truly extraordinary. Whether Gui Qinshao or Yan Nai’er, these were peerless beauties one would normally never see even one of, let alone a fairy-like beauty such as Princess Zhiyan.
But at this moment, these three peerless beauties had all fallen to Suo Lun alone.
Seeing Gui Qinshao’s appearance, Fang Qingshu’s gaze also burned hot.
A femme fatale, that was precisely what a woman like Gui Qinshao was.
His brother-in-law, the kingdom’s Young Lord Zhili, had suffered a monumental setback because of Gui Qinshao.
One could even say that Zhili’s current passive situation had essentially been entirely caused by Gui Qinshao.
Moreover, Gui Qinshao’s single blade had nearly castrated Zhili completely, forcing him to implant demon blood and planting an incomparably enormous hidden danger.
And at this moment, Gui Qinshao’s fame had already spread throughout the entire Raging Wave Kingdom, and even the human kingdoms.
On her wedding night, Zhili had attempted to force himself upon her, but she had wounded him with a blade. Young Lord Zhili instantly became notorious.
Were it any ordinary woman, she would have long since been unable to hold her head up under the weight of this femme fatale reputation. But Gui Qinshao was the opposite. The greater her fame spread, the more pleased and proud she became. She even wished for everyone under heaven to know that she had castrated Zhili with a single blade.
Seeing Gui Qinshao and Yan Nai’er standing side by side, like twin lotus flowers, so beautiful they dazzled the eyes, Fang Qingshu’s heart felt as if it were burning with fire.
Why not take this opportunity to capture this peerless beauty Gui Qinshao as well and take her back to **, giving Suo Lun yet another green hat to wear?
To be able to sleep with peerless beauties such as Yan Nai’er and Gui Qinshao, this life would not have been lived in vain.
Instantly, Fang Qingshu’s gaze fixed coldly upon Gui Qinshao and said, “Miss Gui, are you attempting to obstruct the Dragon God Temple’s arrest? Doing so would be treated as the same crime!”
Upon these words, Fang Qingshu’s wolfish ambition was laid bare. He intended not only to capture Yan Nai’er, but Gui Qinshao as well.
Suo Lun walked before Fu Lingxi and said, “Mother, do you have any opportunity to salvage this situation?”
Fu Lingxi frowned and said, “I warned you several times long ago to find a way to send Yan Nai’er away, but you simply would not listen. This is the situation that has resulted.”
Suo Lun said, “Then do you have a way to save Nai’er?”
Fu Lingxi shook her head and said, “This is an arrest warrant personally signed by Grand Inquisitor Luo Ge, and it also bears the signature of the High Priest. Your mother is powerless. But your mother wishes to advise you: a true man need not worry about lacking a wife. When it is time to sever, sever!”
Suo Lun said, “But if I am not mistaken, Mother, you do have a way to save Nai’er. You are one of the sixteen judges. You completely have the authority to take over this case, and personally escort Nai’er back to the Zhidu Inquisition, and protect her from being violated by others. You are fully aware what bestial acts Fang Qingshu will commit after capturing Nai’er. Have you not always wished to make amends for your previous mistakes? This is the best opportunity, and the last opportunity.”
Suo Lun’s words were clear. As long as Fu Lingxi stepped forward to save her this time, he would forgive her previous faults and acknowledge her as his mother once more.
Moreover, this was the only chance Suo Lun was giving her.
Fu Lingxi instantly fell into a difficult choice. She had not expected Suo Lun to be so familiar with the rules within the Dragon God Temple Inquisition.
If she was willing, she could indeed take over this case and protect Nai’er from being ** humiliated by Fang Qingshu and the others.
She truly found it difficult to choose. On one side was restoring her relationship with her children and enjoying family happiness. On the other side was her future in the Dragon God Temple.
As a mother, she of course wished for her own children to forgive her and share the joys of family life together.
But if she agreed to Suo Lun, she would thoroughly offend the Hidden Continent, and her future in the Dragon God Temple would be completely finished.
She was only in her forties this year, still very young, and already one of the sixteen judges. Within the next thirty years, she could even strive to become the Grand Inquisitor of the Raging Wave Kingdom.
In the end, Fu Lingxi’s eyes showed sorrow. She shook her head and said softly, “Suo Lun, your mother truly is powerless!”
In an instant, Suo Ningbing’s face turned completely pale and colourless. Her entire body lost all warmth.
She truly could not believe that her own birth mother was actually so cold and heartless.
Suo Lun narrowed his eyes and said, “Madam Fu, you truly lived up to being raised in the Dragon God Temple since childhood.”
Fu Lingxi’s peerlessly beautiful face trembled. Then her gaze turned cold and clear, and she spoke no more.
Fang Qingshu laughed coldly from behind and said, “Suo Lun, out of tricks, at your wit’s end?”
Suo Lun spread his hands.
Fang Qingshu stepped forward and whispered in Suo Lun’s ear, “Suo Lun, I will possess Yan Nai’er from now on. I will certainly ** her a hundred times, and then have her bear me three to five children. As for Gui Qinshao, I will play with her for a while first, then let the Grand Inquisitor and the High Priest have their fun as well. Finally, I will hand her over to Zhili for torment. After half a year, when I return her to you, you will find that this peerless beauty has been played with until she is neither human nor ghost.”
Were this the Fang Qingshu of before, he would absolutely never have spoken such low-class words.
After all, he was the young master of the Hidden Continent, a future high official of the Dragon God Temple. But his forbidden fruit, Princess Zhiyan, had been slept with by Suo Lun. At this moment, he held the imperial sword in hand and was about to capture Yan Nai’er and Gui Qinshao. He was about to carry out frenzied revenge upon Suo Lun. Of course, he could no longer control the smugness and fury in his heart.
He had dealt with Suo Lun several times before, returning in defeat each time. This time, he was finally about to half-destroy Suo Lun. Of course, he could not contain himself.
Moreover, his original intention was to drag Suo Lun down with him. Therefore, he needed to provoke Suo Lun even more, driving him mad for Yan Nai’er and making him commit irredeemable acts.
After speaking, Fang Qingshu let out a savage laugh and waved his hand, saying, “Take Yan Nai’er away! Gui Qinshao is obstructing the Inquisition’s case and threatening the personal safety of the judges. Take her away as well!”
With that, the sixteen judges stepped forward, about to take Yan Nai’er and Gui Qinshao away together.
“Hold…” Suo Lun shouted loudly, “Fang Qingshu, do not forget that Yan Nai’er made enormous contributions to the Dragon God Temple. The Dragon God Temple issued her a protection gold token.”
Then, Suo Lun said to Yan Nai’er, “Take out the Temple protection gold token and show it to Lord Fang Qingshu.”
Instantly, Yan Nai’er produced a semi-transparent Temple protection gold token and displayed it for everyone to see.
“Hahaha…” Fang Qingshu laughed heartily and said, “Indeed, there was such a matter. On that day, Miss Yan Nai’er voluntarily handed over a Dragon Seal stone tablet, so the Dragon God Temple bestowed a protection gold token upon her. If I recall correctly, I personally issued that gold token.”
Suo Lun said, “Can this Dragon God Temple protection gold token not protect my wife?”
Fang Qingshu laughed even more wildly and said, “Suo Lun, I never imagined you would actually regard this Temple protection gold token as your lifeline! True, this gold token commends Miss Yan Nai’er for her past contributions to the Dragon God Temple. But your wife Yan Nai’er has committed the heinous crime of anti-Dragon God faith and anti-Dragon God force. This protection gold token cannot save her.”
Suo Lun took the protection gold token from Nai’er’s hand and raised it high, staring at Fang Qingshu and saying, “I ask you once more. Can this protection gold token issued by the Dragon God Temple protect my wife?”
“No.” Fang Qingshu said coldly, “I personally issued this gold token. Today, I will personally take it back and destroy it!”
With that, Fang Qingshu snatched the Temple protection gold token from Suo Lun’s hand and clenched his palm fiercely.
In an instant, this magnificently beautiful Temple protection gold token was crushed into a lump of golden dung.
“Your Temple protection gold token, I have now thoroughly taken back and destroyed. It can no longer protect you.” Fang Qingshu said coldly, “Take her away!”
The sixteen judges surrounded Yan Nai’er and Gui Qinshao completely.
“Suo Lun, rest assured, I will play with all three holes on your woman’s body a hundred times each.” Fang Qingshu said coldly, “As for your Gui Qinshao, I will have half the men of the Dragon God Temple take their turns with her, to avenge Zhili.”
Suo Lun said indifferently, “Fang Qingshu, the gold token you just destroyed was issued by the Sky Temple, bearing the personal signature of Sky Priest Gu Ban.”
Upon these words!
Instantly, the air seemed to grow dozens of degrees colder.
Fang Qingshu felt his entire body turn completely icy, without the slightest warmth.
Then, his legs and arms began to tremble. Boundless cold swept over him.
Sky Priest, the pinnacle of power in this world, holding the life and death of everyone in the Dragon God Temple across the entire world in his hands.
Whether the Dragon God Temple of the Raging Wave Kingdom or the Dragon God Temple of the Yan Empire, neither could do anything to the Hidden Continent, nor to the Demon Continent, and so forth.
Because the Hidden Continent, the Demon Continent, and the Dragon God Temples of the four kingdoms were all on equal footing.
But the Sky Temple held the highest authority. The Dragon God Temples of the four kingdoms and one empire, as well as the four secret continents, were all under the rule of the Sky Temple.
Fang Qingshu was the young master of the Hidden Continent, yet he had destroyed a protection gold token bearing the personal signature of a Sky Priest.
How grave were the consequences of this? One could figure it out with their heels.
Fang Qingshu only felt a continuous roar in his ears, his vision going black before his eyes. He could barely stand.
Only after a good while did he come to his senses, saying in a trembling voice, “No, impossible. You tricked me!”
Suo Lun said, “Open it and see for yourself.”
Fang Qingshu carefully opened the crushed protection gold token.
Indeed, within the夹层 of the gold token, the signature of Sky Priest Gu Ban was clearly imprinted.
Gu Ban, one of the six great giants of the Sky Temple, the teacher of Huai Bingyi.
Indeed, this was a protection gold token issued by the Sky Temple.
Fang Qingshu breathed heavily, cold sweat bursting from his back. He said in a trembling voice, “Suo Lun, you schemed against me…”
“That’s right, I schemed to destroy you. I have been waiting for you for a very long time.” Suo Lun said coldly, “You only coming now has truly made the wait somewhat anxious.”
Fang Qingshu ground his teeth, wishing he could raise his palm and strike Suo Lun dead on the spot.
But he dared not. He was now in trouble himself.
Without a doubt, in a moment, Grand Inquisitor Luo Ge and High Priest Ge Li would not hesitate to abandon him, Fang Qingshu.
Yan Nai’er possessing demon blood was very serious. But compared to offending the dignity of a Sky Priest, Yan Nai’er’s matter was nothing at all.
Bastard Suo Lun? He had actually laid such an enormous trap to frame him?
This damned Temple protection gold token, whether issued by the Sky Temple or the Zhidu Temple, looked exactly the same.
And this damned Sky Priest signature, completely comparable to the watermarks inside gold notes, normally invisible at all. One had to hold it up to the light to see it.
And what was even more damned was that Fang Qingshu had previously issued a Temple protection gold token to Yan Nai’er.
The two gold tokens looked so alike. In his smugness and arrogance, how could Fang Qingshu possibly distinguish between them? He had fallen into Suo Lun’s trap, personally destroying the Sky Priest’s gold token with his own hand, bringing down a catastrophic disaster upon himself.
Fang Qingshu trembled and said, “This, this Sky Temple protection gold token, where did you get it?”
“That is none of your concern.” Suo Lun said coldly.
Then, Suo Lun’s voice suddenly rose, and he said harshly, “Fang Qingshu, you actually dared to destroy the signed gold token of Sky Priest Gu Ban. We, as children of the Dragon God, how can we tolerate this? Princess Zhiyan, please break Fang Qingshu’s hands!”
Fang Qingshu trembled, his face ashen.
Suo Lun stepped forward, grasping Fang Qingshu’s arms, and said, “You can resist. You can even strike back with a sword and kill me.”
Fang Qingshu’s entire body trembled. Even though his heart was filled with fury and hatred to the extreme, wishing he could tear Suo Lun into ten thousand pieces, he absolutely dared not resist.
Because he had destroyed the Sky Priest’s signed gold token. Having his hands broken was perfectly normal. If he dared resist, the consequences would be even more unimaginable.
Suo Lun held Fang Qingshu’s arms just like this.
Zhiyan stepped forward, picked up an iron rod, and aimed at Fang Qingshu’s arms, smashing down fiercely!
