472: As a result, no one came
“Heh!” Gu Qing sneered.
Is this what the so-called Heaven-Defying War God amounts to? A Heaven-Defying War Dog is more like it.
But one thing's for sure, the mothers-in-law in these son-in-law stories are truly formidable, even more fierce than the female leads.
Perhaps it's because Shu Miaohua is special; she frequently interacts with Chu Nan. If you really think about it, she's the true main female lead.
“Master, why must you suffer like this…?” Qianji Laoren saw Chu Nan, as humble as a dog, and his eyes turned crimson with anger, beating his chest and stomping his feet.
With Chu Nan’s abilities, what kind of peerless divine beauty couldn't he have? Why was he so infatuated with this ungrateful mother and daughter?
Chu Nan suddenly felt an urge not to hide anymore, to make a powerful move, and with thunderous methods, to strike down Qing Gongzi, who looked down on people.
But he quickly restrained himself.
He had endured for many years, and success was almost within his grasp. He absolutely could not fail at this critical moment.
Besides, Shu Miaohua was still here.
“Since you know your mistake, go back. Do not make such a mistake again in the future.”
Shu Miaohua waved her hand, as if shooing away a fly.
However, in Chu Nan’s eyes, he was filled with gratitude: “Mother-in-law truly wants to protect me. Punishing me in public is just to prevent Qing Gongzi from using it as an excuse to take my life.”
Chu Nan, dragging his battered and broken body, returned with a face full of emotion.
“All of you may withdraw!” Shu Miaohua said to the crowd.
“Yes, Madam!”
The crowd responded, retreating with excited expressions, their minds filled with thoughts of how to secure one of the ten spots given by Qing Gongzi to cultivate in the Boundless World.
After all, this was a heaven-sent opportunity that could lead them to enlightenment.
“A Qing, when are you going to make your move?” Shi Jingqiong asked.
“Soon. Let Long Tianyu test his limits first,” Gu Qing said.
He felt that Chu Nan wasn't that simple. Although the man was utterly useless, he was still a Child of Destiny.
The more he understood, the more confident he would be.
Gu Qing was always very cautious when killing a protagonist.
He had killed so many protagonists, and only Lin Xuan and Lin Feng had escaped from his hands, which was unavoidable.
“This…” The mother and daughter hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back.
In their opinion, Gu Qing was invincible, capable of chasing down a group of Immortal Kings by himself and even destroying the Forbidden Heaven and Earth Lin Family.
Why would he need to test a useless person like Chu Nan before killing him?
Isn't this like taking off your pants to fart, an unnecessary act?
“He is not simple at all. In any case, I will handle this matter. You just need to listen to me.”
After speaking, Gu Qing’s figure vanished, merging with the surrounding space, monitoring Chu Nan’s every move.
“Jing’er, tell me honestly, what is your relationship with him?” Shu Miaohua asked seriously.
“I… we are siblings!” Shi Jingqiong’s eyes flickered, not intending to admit it.
“Siblings? Then what were you doing in the room?”
Shu Miaohua’s beautiful eyes widened, unable to accept this outcome.
How could the son-in-law she favored suddenly become a son?
“He… he was teaching me cultivation techniques,” Shi Jingqiong replied weakly.
“Then what are his thoughts about you?” Shu Miaohua’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, a look of worry appearing on her face.
“He calls me Big Sister, what thoughts could he have?” Shi Jingqiong replied, her face suddenly a little red. This was something she had exchanged for many new maps, new knowledge, and new wisdom.
“I don’t believe it.” Shu Miaohua shook her head. A mother knows her daughter best; she could tell that her daughter definitely liked Gu Qing, and the two were certainly in love.
As for why she wouldn’t admit it, Shu Miaohua vaguely guessed.
Her marriage had been very unhappy, she was at odds with her husband, even considered a resentful couple, which deeply affected Shi Jingqiong.
This led Shi Jingqiong to be very afraid of marriage, only wanting to become an independent and strong woman, not a woman who only revolved around a man… The moment Chu Nan returned to his room and closed the door, his body shimmered with light, and his injuries immediately recovered as before.
His tattered clothes also instantly transformed into a set of snow-white robes.
Chu Nan eagerly performed a secret technique to divine his own fate.
Upon realizing he only had three thousand units of luck left, Chu Nan’s face instantly turned ashen.
As an Immortal King, and proficient in the Great Dao of Heavenly Secrets, he clearly understood the importance of luck.
He also knew how heaven-defying a secret technique or a heaven-defying treasure, like his Reversing Fate Pearl, was to strip others of their luck and talent.
“It must have been Qing Gongzi who stole my luck. He must have known all along that I am a person of great luck.”
Chu Nan wasn't truly a fool. He quickly realized that both times his luck had diminished, Qing Gongzi had been present.
Only a mysterious Divine King like Qing Gongzi could possibly possess a method to steal luck.
Therefore, Qing Gongzi approaching Shi Jingqiong and recognizing her as his elder sister was all to deal with him and seize his luck.
His mother-in-law and wife were merely tools for Gu Qing to use.
As soon as this possibility came to mind, Chu Nan felt a chill throughout his body, his face becoming extremely grim.
He had always been the one to scheme against others, wielding supreme authority as a useless son-in-law.
If he wanted someone to die at the third watch, the King of Hell wouldn't dare let them live until the fifth.
Yet now, he had been ambushed by Qing Gongzi, who used the two women he cherished most to steal his luck.
The more Chu Nan thought about it, the angrier he became. His eyes revealed a sinister killing intent, cold and bloodthirsty, like a god of slaughter emerging from hell.
“Qing Gongzi, come out and fight.” Chu Nan roared, raising his hand to tear open space, appearing in the boundless void.
He stood with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent, an indescribable and terrifying sword aura emanating from his entire being, like a peerless divine sword about to be unsheathed.
What if his luck was stolen?
He would reclaim everything he had lost, twofold. This was, after all, a world where the strong reigned supreme and the fittest survived.
In the face of absolute power, all schemes and tricks were but fleeting clouds.
Chu Nan stood in the void, hands clasped behind his back, his expression cold.
He waited motionless for a quarter of an hour, then half an hour, then an hour… Chu Nan couldn't maintain it anymore and almost burst out cursing.
Damn it, he had been posing here for ages, deliberately creating an aloof and domineering aura, vowing to fight to the death.
Yet, the person hadn't even shown up.
