468: Teaching and answering questions for Master Jingqiong

“Slap, slap, slap!”

The loud slaps were endless, and Gu Qing felt an aching sensation on his cheeks just by watching.

Three old maids also took out three shiny black silver needles and pricked Chu Nan all over his body, including his ten fingernails.

The black silver needles were special magical treasures; one prick was like ten thousand needles piercing the heart, damaging both the flesh and the soul, more 'refreshing' than slow slicing.

Gu Qing couldn't imagine how Chu Nan could endure it.

It would be one thing if he had no strength, but Chu Nan had enough power to flip the table, yet he simply wouldn't, choosing to endure.

Gu Qing couldn't help but marvel again; those who could be live-in sons-in-law were indeed extraordinary.

Of course, Gu Qing knew very well that if he hadn't interfered, Chu Nan wouldn't have been tortured.

He was probably already putting on a show in front of the mother and daughter, performing spectacularly.

Shu Miaohua's face was expressionless, her majestic phoenix eyes coldly fixed on Chu Nan, but deep down, her heart was not as calm as it appeared.

She recalled every little detail of her time with Chu Nan, and a bold guess emerged in her mind.

Could Chu Nan be a masochistic… pervert???

It was very possible.

Otherwise, why would Chu Nan always obey her, never resisting?

Her Shi family and the Qingyang Dynasty had nothing that a Immortal King would covet.

At this thought, Shu Miaohua quickly averted her gaze, as if she had seen something dirty.

“How could this be…” Chu Nan murmured, completely numb.

He couldn't accept that his mother-in-law had four old maids tormenting him.

The matter was over, Shu Miaohua didn't need to put on a show anymore.

Moreover, Chu Nan always felt something was off; why was Shu Miaohua and Shi Jingqiong's attitude towards him still as lukewarm as ever?

Although he had always tried his best to hide himself, the extraordinary methods he occasionally displayed, or even his predictions that a certain force would be destroyed, or that a certain mysterious powerful expert, family, or business association would definitely cooperate with the Shi family…

In fact, these were all people Chu Nan had arranged, and he had ordered them to cooperate with the Shi family, causing the Shi family's scale to double.

He had done so much, did the mother and daughter not suspect him at all?

Were they not curious about him at all?

Chu Nan had already prepared excuses to continue hiding himself, but who would have thought the mother and daughter would act like blind people, seeing nothing.

Although this was what Chu Nan wanted to see, he also felt particularly aggrieved, feeling that things shouldn't be this way.

“Qing Gongzi, could it be that Qing Gongzi is interfering? It must be.” The more Chu Nan thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.

His mother-in-law and wife wouldn't think that it was Qing Gongzi who had been secretly helping the Shi family, would they?

At the thought of all his credit being claimed by Qing Gongzi, Chu Nan's heart filled with hatred, and rage surged from the soles of his feet straight to his head.

He swore that he would absolutely not let Qing Gongzi go, nor would he let the Boundless Divine Sect go.

The Dragon has a reverse scale; touching it means death.

No matter how powerful you are, no matter what peerless God King you are.

If you dare to provoke him, if it's a god, he will slay it; if it's a Buddha, he will slaughter it… “Tsk tsk, how miserable!”

Gu Qing shook his head, no longer paying attention to Chu Nan; this was a super cheap bone, Shu Miaohua could suppress him with one hand, so he could just sit here and harvest luck.

“Why don't you just kill him directly?” Shi Jingqiong frowned and transmitted her voice, her tone full of confusion.

“Can you bear to?” Gu Qing retorted.

“What is there for me to bear?” Shi Jingqiong replied without thinking.

She had never had a good impression of Chu Nan from beginning to end, even after knowing that Chu Nan was hiding his strength, and that Chu Nan was an Immortal King, it was still the same.

She even looked down on Chu Nan immensely.

Chu Nan played the role of a profligate, and whether he was truly useless or not, he always did profligate things.

Even more, she looked down on a man of seven feet, who was so humble.

Every time she saw Chu Nan, Shi Jingqiong felt extreme disgust; she had tolerated Chu Nan for a long time.

“No, don't you know that he has been secretly helping you?” Gu Qing asked in surprise.

Shi Jingqiong rolled her eyes: “I'm not an idiot, I guessed it long ago.”

“Then you're not a little touched? Don't you want to continue using him to develop the business association?”

“Touched by what? Our relationship is over; now we are just enemies. If there's no him for the business association, isn't there you? As for you, I thought you were going to claim his credit.”

What she needed was the deterrent power of an Immortal King; having the Boundless Divine Sect's golden signboard was more effective than ten Immortal Kings.

Without Chu Nan, she could still develop and expand the Heavenly Treasure Business Association.

The reason she accepted Chu Nan's benefits was simply because only a fool would refuse benefits sent by an enemy.

She could become the Shi family patriarch and control the vast Heavenly Treasure Business Association, so she was naturally not a soft-hearted person.

“How could that be!” Gu Qing shook his head; although he wasn't a good person and would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

But he wouldn't go so far as to deceive his own woman.

“That's true!” Shi Jingqiong smiled slightly; although the young man she kept was greedy for money and lustful, he was never base or vulgar.

But he was very naughty.

Not knowing what she thought of, Shi Jingqiong's face flushed, her beautiful eyes sparkled with water, and she secretly thought: “My little man isn't killing Chu Nan, could it be that he wants to do what he did last time…”

She shifted her noble bottom, feeling a faint ache, her beautiful face blushing.

Gu Qing: “…”

Watching Shi Jingqiong's demeanor gradually become charming.

Gu Qing understood.

Gu Qing put down his teacup, pulled her into the room, and began to instruct and enlighten Shi Jingqiong, this exquisite mature woman.

Forbidden divine patterns appeared in the room, isolating any prying eyes.

He also sent a message to Shu Miaohua, telling her that no matter what methods she used, she must not let Chu Nan leave.

Shu Miaohua pursed her full red lips, her beautiful eyes darting towards the room, a look of envy appearing in them.

“My daughter is so lucky…”

That was a peerless God King, an existence destined to become a God Emperor in the future.

And he was incomparably handsome, granted Shi Jingqiong's every wish, showered her with extreme affection, even sending two Innate Spirit Treasures.

This was something ordinary cultivators couldn't do; only women would grant a man's every wish.

Why hadn't she met such a good Dao Companion?

But what she didn't understand was why her daughter was unwilling to make their relationship public? Whenever outsiders asked, her daughter would distance herself from Gu Qing.

Could it be that they really had no relationship, just pure friendship?

Shu Miaohua didn't believe it.

After all, the first time Gu Qing met them, he gave them mother and daughter top-grade Dao Fruits and high-grade Dao Fruits, and then ordered people to send Innate Spirit Treasures.

“How dare you!”

Chu Nan, whose face was beaten crooked, saw his celestial wife being led by Qing Gongzi's jade hand into the room.

Chu Nan immediately flew into a rage, feeling a green haze before his eyes.

“Silence!”

Shu Miaohua snapped back to reality and angrily rebuked: “Kneel down for me.”

“Mother-in-law, Qing Gongzi harbors ill intentions towards Jingqiong, I'm afraid…”

“Slap!”

Shu Miaohua held a long whip and lashed Chu Nan until his skin split open, her eyes revealing murderous intent.

“If you dare to ruin the relationship between Qing Gongzi and Qiong'er, I will surely flay you alive.”

She would never allow anyone to destroy her daughter's happiness.

Although this was very immoral, she had never considered Chu Nan her son-in-law, so morality was not an issue.

“Mother-in-law, there's no time to explain, let me in…” Chu Nan's expression was anxious.

Their hands were already intertwined, and they were alone in a room; how could it be called mere 'friendship'?

His mother-in-law was truly too naive and pure; she didn't even know her daughter was being threatened.

“Slap, slap, slap!”

What greeted Chu Nan were countless whip shadows. Shu Miaohua's expression was furious, and she looked at the guards beside her.

“Why are you still standing there stunned? Torture him with severe punishment.”

“Yes, Madam!”

Immediately, four Heavenly God Realm peak guards, with sinister smiles, walked towards Chu Nan, fully displaying their villainous nature.

“Mother-in-law, you can punish me however you want, but Jingqiong is in great danger right now, I need to save her.”

Chu Nan didn't want to expose his strength and was pressed to the ground, shouting, which made Qianji Laoren, hidden in the void, roar repeatedly, yet he was helpless.

His master was good in all aspects, except that he was too deeply in love.

“His Majesty has arrived!”

At this moment, a sharp, reedy voice echoed through the Shi family.

This caused everyone to pause, their expressions becoming solemn.

They had come to the Tianlong Dynasty's imperial capital entirely due to Long Tianyu's coercion and inducements, as he wished to marry Shu Miaohua and Shi Jingqiong.

This was no secret.

It was only because of their fear of the Boundless Divine Sect that they had consistently used gentle methods, sending various treasures as if they were free.
