16: Our role model

“Thank you for the compliment!”

Hearing Ning Yixuan’s insults, Su Xuan burst out laughing.

Seeing Su Xuan’s expression, Ning Yixuan was stunned. Was Su Xuan crazy? He was laughing even though she was cursing him?

Actually, if you think about it carefully, this was normal. After all, in real life, would you care what an ant said?

“You’ve got what you wanted. Now, can you fulfill your promise?”

Although she had suffered a great loss, Ning Yixuan still hadn’t forgotten what her parents had told her to do.

After all, she had already lost her most precious thing. If she didn’t even achieve her goal, wouldn’t that be a loss upon a loss?

“What promise? Did I promise anything?”

Su Xuan thought back carefully.

“Oh! You mean the one about stabbing back with the sword! Didn’t I just get it back from you?”

The corner of Su Xuan’s mouth curved slightly upward.

“You… you’re shameless… I was talking about sending out troops!”

Ning Yixuan said, full of shame and indignation.

“Funeral? What funeral? Did your family have a funeral?”

If Qi Country had still been strong, Su Xuan would have been arrested long ago for saying such a thing.

But now, the Old Emperor had failed in his Breakthrough and could only cower in the Imperial Palace, so Su Xuan wasn’t afraid at all.

“You… I mean, for your father to lead troops to resist the foreign enemies…”

Even though Ning Yixuan was incredibly angry, she still suppressed the urge to beat Su Xuan up.

“Oh! You mean that! When did I agree to that?”

Su Xuan sneered.

“What? Didn’t you just say that as long as I fulfilled the terms of the marriage contract, you would go…”

“What the hell are you talking about? When did I agree? I gave you a chance earlier, but you were useless!”

Su Xuan sneered. He had clearly given Ning Yixuan a chance, but she insisted on not taking the good fruit and wanted to experience his Limitless Swordplay. Even he couldn’t do anything about it.

“You… you don’t keep your word!”

Ning Yixuan accused.

“If there was no promise, how can there be trustworthiness? Besides, I forced you later, it wasn’t voluntary!”

“Hahahahahahaha! So, what the hell does that have to do with me? Am I close with you?”

Su Xuan burst out laughing.

“You… you… how can you just deny knowing someone after you’re done?”

Tears welled up in her eyes. Ning Yixuan had lived so many years and had never suffered such grievances, so she immediately burst into tears.

“Cry! Cry! Just cry your heart out! Better yet, cry until you die!”

Facing Ning Yixuan’s weakness, Su Xuan was completely unmoved, just watching with cold eyes.

After crying for half an hour, Su Xuan still felt nothing, instead watching Ning Yixuan like a monkey.

Seeing this, Ning Yixuan knew that this approach was useless against Su Xuan. Only after venting her grievances did Ning Yixuan speak again to negotiate terms with Su Xuan.

“Su Xuan! Tell me, what will it take for you to let your father send out troops?”

Ning Yixuan said, feeling wronged.

“It’s very simple, the same conditions as before: fulfill the marriage contract, and prepare the war supplies and pensions!”

“Oh, and by the way, your Imperial Family’s treasury must also be opened for me. I want to go in and get something!”

Su Xuan directly escalated the demands, adding another condition to the original ones.

This time, Ning Yixuan did not refuse, but the last condition was not something she could decide on her own; she still had to ask her father if he agreed.

The Imperial Family’s treasury, its resources were enough to make even ordinary Saints envious, yet it had to be opened for Su Xuan!

Anyone would have to consider this carefully.

“Alright! In that case, let’s begin! Show me what you’ve learned just now!”

Su Xuan smiled slightly.

Hearing Su Xuan say this, Ning Yixuan’s delicate body trembled. No matter how much dissatisfaction she felt, Ning Yixuan ultimately did what she had been unwilling to do for Su Xuan before.

Name: Ning Yixuan

Realm: True Origin Realm (Early Stage)

Appearance: 97

Affection: 20

【Ding! Congratulations to the Host for gaining 20 Affection from Ning Yixuan, rewarding 2000 Villain Points!】

【For every 20 increase in Affection, a reward can be obtained!】

“Is this love born from hatred?”

Su Xuan smiled faintly, not expecting Ning Yixuan to actually develop some feelings for him.

But this was good too; as long as he slightly increased Ning Yixuan’s affection, he could receive rewards, which wasn’t bad.

“Su… Su Xuan…”

Ning Yixuan’s face was flushed, and she hesitated to speak.

“Is something wrong?”

Su Xuan smiled.

“No… nothing…”

This time, Ning Yixuan learned to be smart.

“Come here! I’m tired, help me rub my shoulders!”

Su Xuan commanded.

Ning Yixuan covered her stomach and slowly came behind Su Xuan, gently pressing.

“Hiss… Why are you pressing so hard? You’re hurting me!”

She was a princess after all; she couldn’t even give a massage. This was far worse than the No. 88 masseuse from his previous life.

“You’re really useless, you can’t even give a massage. What good are you?”

Su Xuan said unceremoniously.

Ning Yixuan lowered her head, not daring to speak. After what had just happened, her spirit had been considerably crushed.

“Alright, stop putting on those airs. I don’t fall for that. If you keep doing that, you can just get out of my sight!”

Su Xuan said irritably.

“You… can’t you be less fierce? At least I just…”

“Slap!”

Before Ning Yixuan could finish speaking, Su Xuan directly slapped her across the face.

“Did I tell you to speak? And you just spoke?”

“Ning Yixuan! You remember this! From today onwards, you are my dog. If I tell you to go east, you cannot go west! You come when called, and leave when dismissed! Understand?”

Su Xuan sneered.

“You…”

Ning Yixuan felt a bit uncomfortable, but seeing Su Xuan’s large hand and recalling the handprint on her waist, Ning Yixuan immediately trembled.

“What? You’re not convinced?”

“Remember, this is all your own doing! Have you forgotten how you used to treat me?”

“Now I’m just doing to you what you used to do to me. What’s there for you to be unconvinced about?”

“You should be content that I haven’t made any more excessive demands!”

Su Xuan sneered.

More excessive demands! Su Xuan actually wanted to be even more excessive?

Heavens! Wasn’t what Su Xuan had just done to her already excessive enough? There was something even more excessive?

Ning Yixuan couldn’t imagine. Was this really the Su Xuan she knew?

The old Su Xuan was someone she could summon and dismiss at will, but now, that role had actually shifted to her!

“If you don’t agree, you know the consequences! You don’t want anything to happen to the Imperial Family, do you?”

Su Xuan smiled sinisterly.

Hearing Su Xuan’s words, Ning Yixuan’s delicate body trembled. Why did this Su Xuan always bring up this matter?

“I… I understand…”

Ning Yixuan said, lowering her head.
