The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 437 Original Body? A Dream

Chu Yanqiu always looks at people as if they were ants. Even when Shen Wen stood in front of him, he was equally ruthless.

Shen Wen could naturally feel the sense of crisis that made people want to take someone's life at the next moment.

She didn't understand why, after just a few days of not seeing her, she became the indifferent person in Chu Yanqiu's eyes, while the pitiful person begging on the ground became the apple of his eye.

In the atmosphere filled with murderous intent, Chu Yanqiu said nonchalantly the next moment, "Come here! Take these three out and beat them to death."

The gatekeeper immediately ran in from outside the yard, followed closely by three other maids. The four burly maids immediately dragged Shen Wen and his servant away.

Dengzhi and Chunhong were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they kept begging for mercy.

As everyone was pulling and tugging in panic, they saw the pitiful Shen lying on the ground, clutching Chu Yanqiu's trouser legs again, begging in a trembling voice: "Sir, please don't, please spare their lives. Don't kill for me. As long as you stop killing people, I will do anything for you."

After hearing what she said, Chu Yanqiu's eyes lit up with a bit of amusement, so he stopped her and said, "Okay! I'll listen to you. I won't take their lives this time."

Then he waved to the four old women and asked them to leave.

Shen Wen looked at the cold and indifferent Chu Yanqiu at this moment, and felt inexplicably heartbroken. She had just fallen deeply in love with this man, but he turned around and forgot about her. She was absolutely sure that if Shen on the ground had not said a few words of pleading to him, she would have been killed again.

Perhaps Shen Wen was looking at Chu Yanqiu too intently, and Chu Yanqiu couldn't help but look at her.

Chu Yanqiu looked at Shen Wen's expression and felt inexplicably irritated, and his disgust towards Shen Wen became even stronger.

He looked at Shen Wen with a stern expression and said, "I didn't expect you to be so bold. You actually dared to look me in the eye. Aren't you afraid that if I get upset, I'll kill you right there?"

Seeing this man with the look of a tyrant, Shen Wen became more and more angry. When their eyes met, they were ready to kill each other.

Shen Wen really had no way to deal with this man. Although she knew all this very well, she also knew that this man had a tragic life and had been constantly controlled by Yuchi Lian. Everything he did was not his intention, and he was just a puppet pawn.

But it is also true that he killed thousands of innocent people, and he will kill more people in the future. He will keep killing. He has basically become a madman.

This is not the saddest thing. The main thing is that Shen Wen cannot change anything. She can only be a bystander or even a victim. She has all the skills but can do nothing.

Chu Yanqiu's eyes gradually turned sinister. He questioned, "What on earth are you thinking? Why are you looking at me like that? Not only are you not afraid of me, you even sympathize with me. Tell me! Why is that?"

His tyrannical aura seemed to destroy the world, but it did not scare Shen Wen. Not only that, it made the pity in his eyes even more intense.

Shen Wen's eyes were moist.

Chu Yanqiu looked at her tears streaming down her cheeks and couldn't help but wipe them with his sleeves.

At this moment, he heard the woman suddenly say something incomprehensible.

She said, "Chu Yanqiu, one day I will kill you with my own hands. I will not put myself in a dilemma just because of the little love you gave me."

Shen Wen grabbed Chu Yanqiu's hand and threw it away, then left with great courage.

For the first time ever, Chu Yanqiu did not kill anyone in anger.

He didn't know what was wrong with him. When he heard the woman say that she wanted to kill him, he felt like something was missing in his heart. As he thought about those words, the missing place in his heart felt more and more painful.

Shen, who was watching all this on the ground, was shocked and surprised when she saw the moisture in the corners of Chu Yanqiu's eyes.

He pointed at Chu Yanqiu and couldn't help but blurt out, "Young Master, you're actually crying! Young Master, why are you crying?"

Chu Yanqiu finally realized what was happening. He raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, then looked down at his fingers. They were actually wet tears.

Chu Yanqiu felt so miserable for the first time in his life. He quickly wiped the tears from his face. His movements were a little awkward. As he walked out, he said, "My beauty, you should get some rest first. I'll come back to see you later."

Just as he was about to leave the house, Shen, who had been chasing him closely, stopped Chu Yanqiu and said, "Sir, can't you just let me go? If you force me to stay, what will happen to His Majesty... You know what His Majesty is thinking. I really don't want you to disobey His Majesty for me, and I don't want so many innocent people to die tragically because of a humble person like me."

Chu Yanqiu seemed to have just recalled some of his previous memories. He had forgotten that the little emperor had spared no effort to use the most precious blood talisman in his hand to assassinate him for the sake of this beauty.

Chu Yanqiu turned around, put his hand on Shen's face, and said gently and lovingly, "Don't think too much. I will think of a way to have the best of both worlds. I'll be leaving now. You should rest well."

Chu Yanqiu comforted Shen with a few words, and this time he really left.

Chu Yanqiu returned to his study. He sat behind the desk and stared blankly at his hands.

The current situation is not favorable to him. He had a lot of cards in his hand before, and he had control over both the border and the court. But who knew that the little emperor seemed to have bad luck. The five great immortals of the Western Palace who had escaped before were willing to intervene in the affairs of the court and joined forces with the little emperor to deal with him.

Chu Yanqiu felt a surge of pressure. He felt a dull pain in his chest. It was obvious that he had been fighting too many enemies in recent days, and even after two days of bed rest, his injuries hadn't fully recovered.

If the Immortal Ancestor had not arrived in time and used his internal energy to heal his wounds, he would have probably lost his life.

Chu Yanqiu frowned slightly. It seemed that if he wanted to break the impasse, he had to use the worst plan he had been thinking about for a long time, so that the situation could be eased.

The door of the study room opened slowly, and Chi He came with a tray containing medicine prepared for Chu Yanqiu. Chi He handed the bowl of medicine to Chu Yanqiu, who frowned and drank it in one gulp. He then sent Chi He out and went to the bed in the inner room of the study room to rest and recuperate.

The day was relatively uneventful and passed quickly.

The next morning was also very quiet. It was not until noon that Chu Yanqiu had the heart to go to Shen's yard to see Shen.

After resting for half a day and a night, Chu Yanqiu's steps became much lighter. Without waiting for the maid to go inside to report, he went in alone.

He was standing behind the screen in the outer room, but heard the gossip of two maids coming from the small room next door where tea was poured.

One said, "It seems to be true. Yesterday I heard her mumbling about His Majesty in her dream, and just now you also heard her mumbling about His Majesty in her dream. How could she be like this? Our Second Young Master dotes on her so much, yet she is unfaithful and still thinking of something higher."

Another said, "What tricks do you think she used? They were so clever that they even surpassed the one in the next courtyard."

The previous one said, "Who knows? They're all the same kind of people anyway. The one who seduced the eldest son before didn't stay faithful to him and ended up following the second son. Now this one is being doted on by the second son, and she's still obsessed with that high and mighty nobleman. It's really..."

Chu Yanqiu had very sharp ears, and he could even hear the attitude and expression in the last hesitant word.

His calm and indifferent expression immediately changed and he turned and went into the tea room.

But after a moment, the sounds of two bodies falling to the ground were heard.

Although the sound was not loud, it seemed unusual in the quiet room.

Shen, who was taking a nap behind the screen inside, could hear it clearly even though she was asleep.

She quickly sat up from the bed and looked outside to ask who was going on and what was going on.

She called the maids from the bed, and Chu Yanqiu from the tea room came out calmly.

Chu Yanqiu came to sit beside Shen's bed, took Shen's hand, and said affectionately, "Why don't you sleep? There's still a long afternoon, lie down and sleep for a while."

Shen grabbed Chu Yanqiu's hand and asked, "What was that noise just now? Where are my maids? Why aren't they here to serve the young master?"

Chu Yanqiu said calmly, "Aren't you asleep? I told them to leave so they won't disturb you. Okay! I'll lie down with you, and we'll sleep together for a while."

Shen was relieved. She lay inside and watched Chu Yanqiu lie down beside her. The two of them snuggled together and fell asleep quickly.

After waiting for Shen Shi to finally wake up after a long, drawn-out breath, Chu Yanqiu finally opened his eyes and quietly got off the bed. He walked barefoot out of the inner room and, through the crack of the half-open door, said to the maidservant waiting at the door, "Come in quietly and carry the two maids from the tea room out to bury them. Remember to be quiet and don't wake her. If she finds out, all the servants in your courtyard will be dead."

The old woman's face had already turned pale. She had guessed the two sounds of corpses falling to the ground. Every day when they were assigned to this courtyard, they were thinking about this nightmare situation in their hearts. After all, the corpses being carried out and buried in the past were not false rumors.

Chunhong, a maid from the next yard, went to the big kitchen to get lunch for the master and servants in her yard. When she came back, she happened to see two corpses covered with white cloth being secretly carried away.

Chunhong's already nervous expression became even more uneasy. She quickened her pace and ran into her yard in two steps.

She hid behind the door, stroking her chest with her trembling hands.

The whole scene fell into the eyes of Shen Wen who was not far away, and she couldn't help but ask what was going on.

Chunhong was frightened by her sudden voice and trembled three times. She finally controlled her emotions and stammered, "No... nothing, I just saw two servants being sent out of the mansion, and I couldn't help but sympathize with them."

Without waiting for Shen Wen to ask for details, she supported Shen Wen and walked into the house.

When they got into the house, Chunhong took Shen Wen's lunch out of the bamboo basket and served him.

Their courtyard is like a needle that shouldn't be in the eye in the entire Ji Guogong Mansion. It is an eyesore whether eating, drinking, defecating or urinating.

The same thing happened today when we went to the big kitchen to ask for lunch. Although we were given more food than yesterday, we were told that it was left for dinner and that we should not come to the big kitchen to get it in the evening.

Chunhong told Shen Wen about this, but Shen Wen didn't care. She just said that she would only eat a little, and asked her and Dengzhi to eat the rest together. If there was any in the evening, they would have dinner, and if not, forget it.

Chunhong was stunned, as if she was worried about something. Shen Wen thought that she was probably frightened by what happened just now and didn't take it seriously.
