143: Completely conquer Yunshang

Yun Shang's pupils constricted, her tone tinged with caution: "Are you going to move against Big Brother again?"

Gu Feng slowly approached her: "That's right. This time, even if that woman helps him, she will definitely be no match for me."

As his words fell, he reached out to grab Yun Shang's wrist.

Yun Shang had been on guard and quickly dodged to the side, her tone carrying a hint of mockery: "Gu Feng, haven't you despised me ever since that incident? Why, do you suddenly remember this abandoned wife now?"

An uncontrollable desire flashed in the depths of Gu Feng's eyes, and his breathing grew heavy.

"If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too beautiful today."

His figure flickered, moving several times faster than before, as he grabbed Yun Shang's arm in one swift motion.

"Stop running, you can't escape."

"Regardless of whether you agree or not today, I will perform the duties of husband and wife with you!"

"You are simply unreasonable!" Yun Shang struggled desperately, trying to shake off his hand.

*Slap!*

The crisp sound of a slap exploded in the room, and the air instantly froze.

Gu Feng clutched his burning right cheek, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"You actually dared to hit me?!"

"What if I did?" Yun Shang's gaze was cold as ice.

"You're looking for death!" Gu Feng's eyes turned fierce, and he backhanded Yun Shang with a slap of his own.

The force of this slap was extremely heavy; Yun Shang stumbled and fell directly onto the cold blue bricks.

Supporting herself on the ground, she slowly raised her head to look at Gu Feng, images of their first meeting flashing through her mind.

Back then, he wasn't this violent; he would coax her with gentle words and save the best things for her.

But now, everything had changed.

"So a person really can change so completely," she said, her voice full of self-mockery.

Gu Feng looked down at her from above.

Yun Shang suddenly stood up, staring fixedly into Gu Feng's eyes, her voice trembling but exceptionally clear: "You said you would never hit me in this lifetime; Gu Feng, you broke your word."

A frenzied light flickered in Gu Feng's eyes as he questioned: "I've changed, but haven't you changed as well?"

"Yun Shang, don't take me for a fool!"

"The hickeys on your neck are so clear, did you really think I wouldn't see them?"

A flash of cold killing intent crossed his eyes.

He was now almost certain that Yun Shang had long since made him a cuckold, and that man was most likely Cao Bu!

Hearing this, Yun Shang subconsciously raised her hand to cover her neck, but it was already too late.

Gu Feng grabbed her wrist with one hand and violently tore open the collar at her neck with the other.

The several hickeys of varying depths were exposed to the air, like thorns piercing his eyes with pain.

He laughed bitterly and shook his head, his tone full of mockery: "You've been playing quite wildly, haven't you? These marks probably won't fade for ten days or half a month, I'm afraid?"

Yun Shang hurriedly raised her hand to cover her neck, took a deep breath, and instead calmed down.

"Gu Feng, since you've already found out, I have nothing to hide."

"That's right, Big Brother was just here to have a tryst with me."

Gu Feng didn't explode in rage; his voice was just incredibly hoarse: "Why?"

Yun Shang straightened her collar, looked up at him, and said word by word: "Big Brother can provide the pleasure you can't. The reason is as simple as that."

After saying that, she turned to walk toward the door, unwilling to waste any more words on him.

*Creak—*

Gu Feng's fists clenched until they cracked, his knuckles turning white.

In the next moment, a hand suddenly clamped onto Yun Shang's neck, the force increasing and making it difficult for her to breathe, her face turning bright red.

"Yun Shang, you deserve to die!"

He stared fixedly into Yun Shang's eyes, the killing intent within his gaze almost threatening to swallow her whole.

Yun Shang struggled to keep her eyes open, looking at him coldly, her voice broken but exceptionally firm: "If you dare to kill me, my parents will never let your Gu Clan off!"

Gu Feng's hand on her neck suddenly loosened, a flash of hesitation appearing in his eyes.

Yun Shang's parents were both Great Emperor Realm experts; they might not be able to deal with the Gu Clan as a whole, but they might truly be capable of dealing with him.

Yun Shang took the opportunity to catch her breath and continued: "Gu Feng, let's part on good terms."

"Think about it carefully; your Gu Clan still has an enemy like the Yin-Yang Heavenly Emperor watching greedily from within the Myriad Laws Forbidden Abyss."

"Even with the methods your father left behind, there will come a day when they are exhausted."

"Do you really want to gamble the entire Gu Clan for my sake?"

Gu Feng's breathing grew more and more rapid, his chest heaving violently, his tone carrying one last threat: "Are you truly not afraid of death?"

Yun Shang closed her eyes, her tone calm and emotionless: "Since we were once husband and wife, I'd like to see how many Great Emperors the Gu Clan can withstand in a siege."

Gu Feng's hand on her neck tightened and loosened repeatedly over a dozen times.

In the end, he unwillingly let go.

He didn't dare to gamble, nor could he afford to.

Yun Shang stumbled back two steps, coughing violently.

She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, gave Gu Feng an expressionless look, turned, and walked toward the door.

"Yun Shang!" Gu Feng's voice suddenly came from behind her, filled with suppressed hatred: "I will make you watch with your own eyes as Cao Bu dies right in front of you!"

Yun Shang's footsteps suddenly paused. She looked back at Gu Feng's violently trembling back, a flicker of imperceptible killing intent flashing in her eyes before she regained her composure, turned to pull open the door, and walked out without looking back.

Gu Feng turned around, staring at Yun Shang's resolute back, and squeezed two words through his teeth: "Cao! Bu!"

...The moonlight shrouded Cangfeng Residence in a hazy, clear glow.

Inside the house, the candlelight flickered as Cao Bu held Yan Ruyu, his fingertips stroking the fine skin of her waist.

At that moment, a soft knock came from the door.

"Master, someone is here."

Yan Ruyu's eyes swept over the slender figure projected on the door panel, her voice soft.

Cao Bu released his hand from her waist and leaned back against the soft pillow, his brow arching slightly: "In the middle of the night, who would come looking for me here?"

"I'll go see." Yan Ruyu grabbed a bright red gauze robe and draped it over herself.

The gauze was as thin as a cicada's wing, barely concealing her sultry figure.

The moonlight spilled over her through the window lattice, making her snow-white jade legs shimmer with a lustrous glow.

She tiptoed toward the door, her hem sweeping across the floor without making a sound.

Cao Bu propped up his head, his gaze piercing through the gauze robe to admire her hazy, charming body.

With a *creak*, Yan Ruyu looked at the person before her, her pupils slightly constricting. She then turned and called into the room: "Master, it is Lady Yun Shang."

Cao Bu's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately stood up.

Yun Shang was usually composed; a late-night visit like this meant something big must have happened.

He walked quickly to the door and saw Yun Shang wrapped in a thin night-traveling outfit, her eyes somewhat red and swollen, clearly having just cried.

"Cao Bu!"

Yun Shang's voice choked with emotion as she threw herself into his arms, her arms tightly encircling his waist, her cheek pressed against his warm chest, her shoulders trembling uncontrollably.

Cao Bu wrapped one arm around her waist and gently stroked her hair with the other.

The two of them just held each other quietly, with only Yun Shang's suppressed sobbing remaining in the room.

Yan Ruyu glanced at the embracing pair, quietly took a step back, and slowly closed the door, blocking out the moonlight and the night air.

Inside the room.

The shadows of the two gradually overlapped, and the sounds of fragmented breathing drifted through the cracks in the door.

Standing guard outside, Yan Ruyu's fingertips tightened on her hem, and the tips of her ears quietly turned red.

After an unknown amount of time, Cao Bu's voice finally came from inside: "Xiao Yu, the wind is strong outside, come in."

Yan Ruyu answered and pushed the door open, her movements crisp and decisive without the slightest hesitation.

Soon, the sound of intertwined soft moans echoed in the room, only gradually returning to silence when the horizon began to turn gray.

[Ding! Yun Shang's favorability toward the Host has reached the Peak, inheritance degree increased by 1%.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining one lucky draw opportunity.]

Cao Bu looked down at the sleeping profile of the person in his arms, a faint smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

This woman had finally opened her heart to him completely.

As if sensing his gaze, Yun Shang slowly opened her eyes, her cheeks flushed, her voice soft and sweet: "Cao Bu, that other shore floating life powder you mentioned last time, do you still have more?"

Cao Bu flipped his palm, and a lustrous white jade bottle appeared out of thin air.

"I knew you would ask for it, so I've been keeping it for you."

Yun Shang took the jade bottle, her eyes full of surprise: "You... you guessed long ago that I would come for this?"

Cao Bu nodded, his fingertips gently rubbing her still slightly swollen cheek.

"I've watched that kid Gu Feng grow up; I know his temperament better than you do."

"After what happened last time, the hostility in his heart could no longer be suppressed."

"I just didn't expect him to actually dare to lay a hand on you."

At this point, he intentionally paused, his tone adding a hint of self-reproach: "Unfortunately, my cultivation is currently low, and I cannot personally avenge you. I can only use these underhanded methods. Do you think Big Brother is too despicable?"

"Big Brother isn't despicable at all!" Yun Shang hurriedly shook her head, her eyes full of reliance: "Everything Big Brother does is for me!"

"It was I who was foolish, hesitating these past few days and almost failing Big Brother's painstaking efforts."

Cao Bu gently patted her back, his voice softening: "It's good that you understand."

"Big Brother has never cared whether his methods are honorable or not. As long as the people around him aren't harmed, what does a little despicableness matter?"

He paused, his tone suddenly turning cold: "If Gu Feng dared to hit you this time, he'll dare to kill you next time."

"Yun Shang, if you're going to act, do it soon. Don't be indecisive anymore."

"He is beyond saving."

Yun Shang nodded vigorously, her arms encircling his waist once more.

"Don't worry, Big Brother. As soon as I find the opportunity, I will make him fall into eternal darkness, never to rise again!"

A sharp glint flashed in Cao Bu's eyes as his fingertips gently stroked her hair.

Yun Shang leaned into his embrace, her gaze gradually turning icy, the killing intent in her eyes no longer hidden in the slightest.
