467: The evil nanny slaps the war god son-in-law

Thump, thump, thump!!!

Shu Miaohua, the Seventh Princess of the Qingyang Dynasty, was extremely favored and always meticulous about her appearance and status.

Every time she traveled, she would bring a group of tall, burly guards, beautiful maids to serve her, and eunuchs to accompany her; this time was no exception.

Thirty-six guards, clad in armor and wielding sabers, were tall and imposing, with cold expressions and eyes as sharp as blades.

Each guard was like a seasoned general who had seen countless battles.

And indeed, these guards were all generals of the Qingyang Dynasty, their cultivation all in the Heavenly God Realm, their vital energy like a blazing sun, and a murderous aura swirling around them.

The surrounding servants and maids, just by glancing at them, felt a terrifying pressure wash over them, as if they were in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, trembling all over and turning pale.

“Chu Nan…” Shu Miaohua, surrounded by her retinue, arrived grandly outside her daughter’s courtyard.

Chu Nan looked up, shivered, then quickly lowered his head, a bitter smile on his face.

His mother-in-law was beautiful today, dressed in a luxurious palace gown, with gold hairpins and jade ornaments, exuding an air of nobility.

However, Shu Miaohua’s face was full of rage; without asking, he could guess that she must have known about what happened at the gate earlier.

She was here to deal with him.

But he couldn’t say that Gu Qing harbored ill intentions towards Shi Jingqiong; with Shu Miaohua’s good impression of Qing Gongzi, no one would believe him even if he did.

As for saying that he feared neither Qing Gongzi nor even the Boundless Divine Sect, and that Shu Miaohua didn't need to worry about Qing Gongzi's retaliation.

If he said that, wouldn’t his identity be exposed?

That was absolutely not allowed.

He was tired of the intrigue and bloodshed of the Immortal Realm; in this life, he only wanted revenge, and then to be a carefree live-in son-in-law, lying down and living off his wife.

Although Shi Jingqiong hadn’t accepted him yet, he believed that perseverance would prevail, and one day, he would melt Shi Jingqiong’s heart.

“Slap!”

“Slap!”

The head eunuch and head matron rushed forward and delivered a fierce slap.

“Smiling? You good-for-nothing, you’ve caused a monstrous disaster, and you still have the nerve to smile here?”

The head matron’s old face was stern; the more she spoke, the more ferocious her expression became. She stepped forward, grabbed Chu Nan’s long hair, and slapped him repeatedly.

This time, she was truly furious.

According to Shu Miaohua, this Qing Gongzi was a member of the Boundless Divine Sect, holding a pivotal position within it.

Their Shi family’s increasing prosperity was largely due to Qing Gongzi’s help.

What was Chu Nan? What right did he have?

How dare he put on airs in front of Qing Gongzi at the main gate? He was practically asking for trouble.

If they offended Qing Gongzi because of this, the entire Shi family could be annihilated in an instant.

The head matron grew angrier with each thought, and her slaps became even more forceful.

“You old hag, how dare you humiliate Lord War God like this…”

In the void, Qianji Laoren saw the War God being repeatedly slapped by an old matron and immediately flew into a rage, his eyes spitting fire.

That was the heaven-defying War God who had been reborn!

A terrifying existence who, starting as a waste, had risen against the heavens and attained the Immortal King Dao within a thousand years.

The head matron was only at Heavenly God Realm Stage Three; how dare she slap an Immortal King?

The more Qianji Laoren thought about it, the more furious he became. Looking at the unmoving Chu Nan, an overwhelming sense of suffocation gripped his heart.

“Lord War God, you have already attained the Immortal King Dao; why do you need to endure anymore? Just give the command, and this old servant will immediately lead people to annihilate the Shi family, leaving no one alive,” Qianji Laoren transmitted his voice to Chu Nan, his tone filled with gnashing teeth.

“How dare you!” Chu Nan was instantly enraged upon hearing about annihilating the Shi family, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

The Shi family was his inverse scale; anyone who dared to harm a single hair on Shi Jingqiong or Shu Miaohua, he would pursue them to the ends of the earth and cut them down.

“This truly infuriates this old man…” Qianji Laoren raged impotently; Chu Nan accepted it with equanimity. No matter how much he wanted to destroy the Shi family, he could only think about it.

“Good heavens…” Gu Qing watched with great interest.

Chu Nan was more than just a super useless son-in-law; he was practically a super cheapskate.

He had clearly broken through to the late stage of Immortal King, yet he willingly allowed an old servant to grab his hair and slap him.

This was truly hard to judge.

Damn it, any author who could write a live-in son-in-law novel was definitely not an ordinary person.

“Hiss!”

The head matron recoiled repeatedly in fear, her face devoid of color; she had sensed a terrifying aura from Chu Nan’s body.

Under this aura, she felt as if her soul was about to freeze.

“What’s wrong with you?” The head eunuch looked puzzled. Did the head matron really need to look so terrified? What on earth was going on?

It couldn’t be that she was scared by Chu Nan, that good-for-nothing, could it?

Heh!

The head eunuch was amused by his own thought.

He rolled up his sleeves; the head matron had enjoyed hitting him so much, and now it was finally his turn.

He had also disliked Chu Nan for a long time.

You, a good-for-nothing, why can’t you just behave yourself, live off others, and wait to die, instead of causing trouble every day?

Causing trouble with the influential young masters of the Tianlong Dynasty was one thing; the Shi family could still cover for him.

But provoking Qing Gongzi? Chu Nan was practically lighting a lamp in a latrine—asking for death.

“Wait!”

At this moment, Shu Miaohua spoke, her expression cold; if one looked closely, one could see a hint of panic hidden deep in her eyes.

She had been watching Chu Nan just now and naturally saw the fleeting cold light in his eyes.

Just a glance had sent a chill through her entire body, her thoughts freezing. How terrifying was Chu Nan’s cultivation?

Profound God?

It shouldn’t be; she had already attained the Profound God Dao, and a Profound God couldn’t possibly control her life and death with just a look.

So, Chu Nan was an Immortal King?

An Immortal King acting as a live-in son-in-law?

And being humiliated and beaten by her servants?

Thinking of this, Shu Miaohua felt her brain wasn’t enough to process it.

She simply couldn’t understand why Chu Nan, a dignified Immortal King, would marry into the Shi family, why he would endure such great humiliation, and what Chu Nan’s intentions truly were.

Numerous thoughts flashed through her mind, but Shu Miaohua shook her head. She couldn’t guess, and she didn’t want to guess. He was merely a dying man.

Even if Chu Nan was an Immortal King, what then?

Her daughter had gained Gu Qing’s favor, and Gu Qing could kill Immortal Kings as easily as slaughtering chickens and dogs.

Moreover, Gu Qing was right here; what did she have to fear?

Perhaps Gu Qing already knew Chu Nan was an Immortal King; otherwise, when he came to see Shi Jingqiong last time, he would have killed Chu Nan already.

After all, no man would willingly share his woman with another man, even if it was only in name.

Gu Qing’s visit this time might very well be to kill Chu Nan.

With this thought, Shu Miaohua’s heart settled. Her expression was noble and elegant, and her red lips parted slightly: “Do you know your mistake?”

Looking at his noble and beautiful mother-in-law, Chu Nan’s eyes were filled with gratitude. Shu Miaohua truly cared for him and protected him.

Was she rushing over so anxiously because she feared he would suffer a cruel fate at the hands of Qing Gongzi?

Was letting those two old servants teach him a lesson meant to make him remember, or to put on a show for Qing Gongzi?

Truly worthy of being a princess of the Qingyang Dynasty—killing multiple birds with one stone, both saving him and appeasing Qing Gongzi’s anger.

Chu Nan was filled with admiration for Shu Miaohua’s wisdom and methods.

His heart also felt warm. Shu Miaohua cared for him so much, yet always tormented him in various ways, simply wanting him to be disciplined and low-key; he understood it all.

Heh, a woman with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

However, Shu Miaohua would never know that he feared neither the influential young masters of the imperial capital nor the so-called Qing Gongzi.

Even if Gu Qing came, he was confident he could pull Gu Qing down from his invincible pedestal.

Gu Qing had world-destroying bows and arrows, and he also had his own ultimate trump card.

It was just that he was tired of the intrigue of the Immortal Realm and only wanted to be a carefree live-in son-in-law.

Thinking this, Chu Nan said with a bitter smile, “Replying to my mother-in-law, your son-in-law knows his mistake.”

If he was admitting his mistake, why did he have such a reluctant, bitter smile?

If Shu Miaohua hadn’t guessed that Chu Nan might be an Immortal King, she would have certainly had her subordinates severely discipline Chu Nan.

“Have the servants continue to beat and scold him.” Seeing that the tigress intended to let the matter go, Gu Qing quickly transmitted a message to her.

Since Chu Nan enjoyed being a super useless son-in-law so much, how could Gu Qing not grant his wish?

Moreover, Gu Qing was also very curious to what extent Chu Nan could endure.

Someone as cheap as Chu Nan was truly rare in the world; Gu Qing was seeing it for the first time and was quite curious.

Of course, the main reason was that Chu Nan had never stopped contributing luck to him; although it was only ten points each time, it accumulated over time.

So far, it had accumulated over a thousand.

For such a sensible protagonist who gave luck and his wife, Gu Qing didn't mind letting him live a few more days.

A few days should be enough to drain Chu Nan’s luck.

Shu Miaohua paused, then nodded almost imperceptibly.

“Gu Qing really knows Chu Nan is an Immortal King,” she thought to herself.

She immediately gave a look to the head matron and the three matrons beside her. With Gu Qing present, she had nothing to fear; in fact, she wished Gu Qing would immediately act to eliminate Chu Nan.

The four matrons understood, approaching Chu Nan with sinister smiles, looking very much like wicked matrons.

“Slap!”

“Kneel down.” The head matron said sharply.

Chu Nan: “…”

Chu Nan looked utterly bewildered.

He had already admitted his mistake, so why was his mother-in-law still dwelling on the matter?
