361: My mother-in-law is awesome!

“Cough!”

Shu Miaohua lightly coughed.

Only after scolding Chu Nan did she belatedly realize that Gu Qing was still there.

She was the esteemed Seventh Princess of the Qingyang Dynasty, and the gentle, virtuous matriarch of the Shi family.

Shu Miaohua felt her face flush, embarrassed that Gu Qing had seen such a fierce side of her.

Shi Jingqiong came back to her senses, ending her telepathic conversation with Gu Qing.

Looking at Gu Qing, who was acting like a lord, she couldn't bring herself to utter the word 'guard'.

Her beautiful eyes shifted, and she smiled, “Mother, this is a good friend I met in Morning Glow Evening Sea, named Yu Qing, and he has already achieved the Profound God realm!”

Gu Qing heard this, looked at the pastries in his hand, and a smile played on his lips.

“Yu Qing greets Madam Shu!”

He absolutely couldn't do this guard job.

If he couldn't be the heroine's bodyguard, being a friend wasn't bad either.

Moreover, since he couldn't kill Chu Nan for now, Gu Qing didn't want to stay here any longer; the Boundless Divine Sect still needed him to oversee the situation.

He also wasn't sure if Xi Ling could handle the Purple Micro Dao Sect, so he had to go check.

“A Profound God!?”

Shu Miaohua was startled.

Her beautiful eyes quickly scanned Gu Qing. Although he wore a mask, it couldn't hide his vibrant, heroic spirit.

He was definitely not old.

She couldn't sense the slightest hint of age on Gu Qing, but rather a vigorous, youthful aura.

He looked much younger than her daughter.

Shu Miaohua racked her brain, wondering, *Is there such an Unprecedented genius in the Immortal Realm? No!*

“Yu Qing... Gu Qing, Jiang Yu. Could this be Gu Qing?” A bold guess formed in Shu Miaohua’s mind.

She glanced at Gu Qing's mask, feeling it was highly probable.

What kind of person was Shi Jingqiong? Didn't she know?

She never brought people into her courtyard.

Even Chu Nan had only entered here for the first time.

And Shi Jingqiong even had her maid serve him; besides Gu Qing, she couldn't think of anyone else who would receive such an honor.

Thinking of this, Shu Miaohua was overjoyed.

Gu Qing had been praised by the Ancestor, destined to become a Divine King, Unprecedented.

He was expected to achieve Immortal Emperor, or even effortlessly ascend to Divine Emperor.

Gu Qing actually came to their door on his own; it seemed he genuinely fancied her daughter.

Suppressing her excitement, Shu Miaohua smiled and praised, “Qing Gongzi’s esteemed presence brightens our humble abode. I hope Qing Gongzi will look after my little girl in the future.”

“Madam Shu, you overstate it,” Gu Qing replied, taking in all of Shu Miaohua’s changing expressions.

He felt his true identity had already been guessed.

Without the protagonist's halo causing a decrease in intelligence, the heroine was too clever.

Gu Qing was a little puzzled.

But he didn't care.

If she guessed, so be it; perhaps it would be more beneficial for him to do things.

[Detected that the child of destiny, Chu Nan, harbors malicious intent towards the host and is plundering the host's luck. Super Anti-Armor triggered, plundering three thousand luck from Chu Nan in return.]

“Good, very good. Protagonists who can devour others' luck are all my good brothers,” Gu Qing rejoiced.

Plundering Chu Nan's luck was too easy.

Gu Qing secretly communicated with the system: “If I plunder so much at once, will he notice?”

[Chu Nan is proficient in the Great Dao of Heavenly Evolution. No matter how little is plundered, he will notice, so it's better to plunder the maximum amount.]

“That's true!”

Gu Qing thought for a moment, then said, “I won't completely plunder his luck today, will I?”

[No, he has the Reversing Fate Pearl suppressing his luck. Once the upper limit is exceeded, the Reversing Fate Pearl will automatically protect its master and suppress the loss of luck.]

“Is that so?” Gu Qing's eyes flickered, becoming increasingly curious about the Reversing Fate Pearl's miraculous ability.

To be able to actively plunder others' luck, including their fate and talent, was truly heaven-defying.

Such a treasure, Gu Qing was determined to obtain it.

“Turn off the broadcast sound.”

[Okay!]

Gu Qing calmly glanced at him, only to see Chu Nan's eyes filled with icy coldness, revealing a chilling killing intent.

The two women also followed Gu Qing's gaze, looking at Chu Nan simultaneously.

Shu Miaohua was furious: “You scoundrel, what kind of look is that?”

At this moment, she was truly enraged.

If Chu Nan wanted to be a useless fop, her Shi family could afford to support an idler.

Chu Nan ruining the Shi family's reputation, she tolerated.

But Chu Nan dared to show killing intent towards Gu Qing; she could no longer tolerate it.

Shu Miaohua took out a divorce paper and said coldly, “Get over here and sign the divorce paper.”

It wasn't the first time she had asked the two to divorce, but the previous Chu Nan was shameless, no matter how much she humiliated him, even making him serve her foot-washing water, Chu Nan stubbornly refused to divorce.

Actually, she could have just kicked Chu Nan out or directly killed him.

Chu Nan's father, Chu Jingtian, was a Profound God Seventh Stage, which was not enough to compare with the Shi family.

However, she still thought of the old friendship between the two families and didn't want to be too ruthless.

“What?”

Chu Nan heard the word 'divorce' and immediately panicked.

His grand scheme was not yet complete, and he absolutely could not divorce now.

Moreover, for other men, serving a woman foot-washing water was a great humiliation.

Chu Nan, however, was willing to enjoy it.

It was simply because his mother-in-law was too beautiful and peerless.

“Cough!”

Gu Qing lightly coughed.

Divorce was impossible for the two; it would never happen in this lifetime, unless Chu Nan died.

Gu Qing leisurely said, “Madam Shu, although your son-in-law has offended me, there’s no need to go to such lengths. If your son-in-law is willing to kneel and kowtow before me, then this matter can be dropped.”

“This…” Shu Miaohua’s eyes showed confusion.

She didn't understand what Gu Qing meant by this.

Wouldn't it be better to let Shi Jingqiong regain her freedom? That way, she wouldn't be criticized by outsiders.

“Mother, let's do as Yu Qing says!”

Shi Jingqiong made the final decision, her gaze fixed on Chu Nan, her tone cold: “Kneel and kowtow to admit your mistake, or divorce. You choose one.”

Chu Nan's face flushed.

In his opinion, being beaten by Zhong Yongjun was their family matter.

But kowtowing and admitting his mistake in front of Gu Qing, an outsider, made him feel immense humiliation.

Especially since Gu Qing might also covet his wife.

Making him kneel and kowtow to a love rival and adulterer, he couldn't do it.

“Still not coming over quickly?”

Shu Miaohua’s sharp rebuke made Chu Nan shiver, and all the humiliation and unwillingness in his heart instantly vanished.

Chu Nan was left with only one thought: he absolutely could not be kicked out by his mother-in-law.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

“I'm sorry, Qing Gongzi, it was my fault.”

Chu Nan kowtowed, his head hitting the ground with loud thuds.

Gu Qing's mouth twitched. He looked at Shu Miaohua, whose face was as cold as frost yet noble and arrogant, and a thousand thoughts raced through his mind.

He just wanted to test Chu Nan's endurance; he never expected Chu Nan would actually kowtow and admit his mistake.

After all, Chu Nan was a child of destiny.

Who would have thought Chu Nan would kowtow first as a sign of respect?

Since that was the case, then he should continue kowtowing until he finished his business.

“Don't stop, keep kowtowing, keep kowtowing, slap yourself until Qing Gongzi is satisfied.”

Seeing Gu Qing remain silent, and assuming he was not satisfied, Shu Miaohua angrily rebuked him, a surge of anger in her heart.

She thought, *Chu Nan being a good-for-nothing is one thing, but why does he have no manly backbone at all?*

*He is, after all, the son of Zhenbei Wang. Why is he so humble?*

*Leaving the Shi family, Chu Nan would only live better.*

“Slap, slap, slap!”

Hearing this, Chu Nan complied.

His heart felt incredibly soft, and he only felt that Shu Miaohua at this moment was extremely adorable.

Her seemingly cold and heartless words were actually a disguised way of saving him.

Chu Nan finally understood why Shu Miaohua, who deeply cared about her reputation, would make him kowtow and admit his mistake to Gu Qing, an outsider.

It must be that Gu Qing had too great a background, and Shu Miaohua was protecting him, having no choice but to swallow her pride.

However… Shu Miaohua would never know that he wasn't afraid of Gu Qing at all.

If it weren't for fear of exposing his identity, he could eliminate this pretty boy, Gu Qing, with a single thought.

“My mother-in-law is amazing…” Gu Qing’s eyes were filled with admiration; he was utterly impressed by Shu Miaohua.

How much skill must it take to train a child of destiny to be more obedient than a dog?

He definitely had to reward Shu Miaohua.

Thinking this, Gu Qing took out two Tongtian Dao Fruits and pushed them towards Shu Miaohua: “Madam Shu, this is a small token of my regard. Please, Madam Shu, you must accept it.”

Putting everything else aside, a betrothal gift was still necessary.

It wasn't easy for Shu Miaohua to raise her daughter.

Moreover, because of Shu Miaohua's actions, Chu Nan's luck was continuously plundered, and luck poured in.

“High-grade Dao Fruit!?” Shu Miaohua’s beautiful eyes widened, her voice even cracking slightly.

The Shi family, despite being an Immortal King family, didn't even possess a single high-grade Dao Fruit.

If they did, it would have been consumed.

Gu Qing, with one gesture, produced two.

What kind of divine son-in-law was this?

Shi Jingqiong’s guards stared intently at the two Tongtian Dao Fruits, their eyes practically popping out, their breathing rapid.

This was the first time they had ever seen a Dao Fruit.

“Take it! They are merely Tongtian Dao Fruits; to me, they are nothing special.”

Before Shu Miaohua could refuse, Gu Qing forcefully placed them in her hand.

So hot… As her jade hand touched Gu Qing’s warm large hand, Shu Miaohua withdrew her hand as if shocked by electricity.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the strange feeling in her heart, and quickly thanked him.

Gu Qing waved his hand, indicating it was a small matter.

“Slap, slap, slap!”

Chu Nan completely failed to notice his beloved mother-in-law being taken advantage of, still vigorously slapping himself.

He was thinking about who he should send to eliminate Gu Qing once Gu Qing left the Shi family.

And snatch the Dao Fruits from Gu Qing.

“Alright, go outside and slap yourself there. Don't be an eyesore here.”

Gu Qing waved his hand.

His luck plunder stopped after thirty thousand; keeping Chu Nan here any longer was simply an eyesore.

Chu Nan immediately stopped his actions, his face as ugly as if he had eaten a few dead rats.

“Aren't you going to thank Qing Gongzi for sparing your life?” Shu Miaohua angrily rebuked.

“Thank, thank Qing Gongzi for sparing my life.”

“Get out! Both of you, retreat.”

Shu Miaohua stood up and left, giving the two enough private space.

Shi Jingqiong immediately sat into Gu Qing’s arms, her hands wrapped around his neck, her beautiful eyes filled with gratitude.

“Thank you, little brother.”

Shi Jingqiong was deeply moved.

The man she fancied was indeed different.

Overbearing and cold, yet extremely respectful of her, giving her ample face in front of outsiders.

“No need to thank me, you have a share too.”

Gu Qing gave her two Tongtian Dao Fruits and said, “I'm leaving, but don't worry, with Chu Nan secretly protecting you, your Shi family will be fine. You must make good use of him.”

“You’re leaving?”

Shi Jingqiong swallowed her refusal, her expression filled with reluctance.

“Mm!”

Gu Qing hummed, “But before I leave, I want to eat the tip of the strawberry first.”

“Strawberry tip?”

“What strawberry tip? Mm…”

...Outside the door, Chu Nan dared not stop for a moment.

Because Shu Miaohua was watching with cold eyes, he dared not stop slapping himself.

However… the moment Chu Nan lowered his head, his eyes were incredibly icy, and he secretly swore: “Yu Qing, if you dare to touch even a single hair on my wife, I will definitely kill you, no matter where you hide.”

Qianji Laoren, hidden in the shadows, saw his Lord suffer such a great humiliation and was filled with towering rage.

He transmitted a message: “Lord, as long as you give the order, the Shi family can be annihilated with a flick of the hand, and this foolish woman and…”

“Shut up!”

Chu Nan was furious, his tone devoid of emotion, and he transmitted back: “I don't want to hear you disrespect my mother-in-law again, otherwise… you know the consequences.”

Hearing this, Qianji Laoren shivered, his face changing, and he sighed unwillingly.

“Lord, why do you put yourself through such hardship?”

“Hmph, you just do your part. I am setting up a grand game, with heaven and earth as the chessboard and all living beings as the pieces.”
