The Ruthless Jiang Nannan

Inside the Yue Family dungeon, Le Zhengyue stood in silence.

Xu Sanshi had already been locked inside a cage.

Looking at the dejected figure of Xu Sanshi before him, Le Zhengyue turned his gaze toward Jiang Nannan with a look of keen interest.

"How does it feel to see your husband from a past life lying here like a dead dog?"

Le Zhengyue stared at Jiang Nannan, his tone laced with curiosity.

He had a very clear grasp of the psychology of a girl like Jiang Nannan.

Any talk of her loving Xu Sanshi was a joke; she merely enjoyed his service, or perhaps, she enjoyed the sense of guilt he felt toward her.

It was precisely because she relished this guilt, and the sense of superiority it fostered, that she had been able to utter the words, "Is this how you protect me?" in the original timeline.

At the mere thought of such idiotic words coming from Jiang Nannan's mouth, Le Zhengyue looked at her with a hint of disdain.

Meeting Le Zhengyue's gaze, Jiang Nannan's expression remained largely unchanged.

Her eyes simply rested on Xu Sanshi with a complex look.

Compared to the lifelong devotion others shared, she and Xu Sanshi had ended up together, but their life as a married couple had been far from perfect.

In the end, she hadn't even left him with an heir.

"Nannan, why are you here?"

"Nannan, did he threaten you?"

"Damn it, who exactly are you people?"

"Why are you treating us like this?"

Before Jiang Nannan could speak, Xu Sanshi, who had just opened his eyes in the cell, saw her standing there, his tone filled with fury.

Yet, neither Jiang Nannan nor Le Zhengyue paid him any mind; Jiang Nannan looked at Le Zhengyue with a sense of helplessness.

Facing the youth's playful gaze, she simply stood there, composed.

"I don't have any feelings for him anymore."

"I told you I never liked him to begin with; otherwise, upon returning from this rebirth, I would have gone straight to him instead of intentionally dragging my feet."

Jiang Nannan paused after saying this.

She stared at Xu Sanshi inside the cell, meeting his gaze of despair and bewilderment, her expression remaining calm.

However, seeing her former lover in such despair, she couldn't help but bite her lip gently.

Le Zhengyue, however, did not care much for any of this.

If he wanted to take her by force, then so be it; given his status and position, what did it matter if he did?

"I don't believe you."

"I originally intended to let him live, but tell me, what should I do if he comes seeking revenge after he gets out?"

"After all, you are his woman."

Le Zhengyue paused, meeting her gaze with a faint, mocking smile.

Jiang Nannan did not reply, merely keeping her head bowed.

After spending these past few days together, she had come to understand the malicious nature of the youth before her.

There was certainly nothing good coming from what he was about to say next.

"His limbs haven't been completely crippled yet. I want you to sever them yourself and destroy his martial soul."

"Only then will I believe that you are truly willing to be my handmaiden, rather than still harboring thoughts of rescuing him."

Le Zhengyue's voice was calm.

Both Jiang Nannan and Xu Sanshi inside the cell could hear his words clearly.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nannan's body stiffened for a moment.

After all, they had once been husband and wife; it was impossible for her to have absolutely no feelings for Xu Sanshi.

Yet, Le Zhengyue's words were effectively a declaration of his stance.

If she refused to do this, or if she defied Le Zhengyue's decree...

At this thought, a surge of terror rose in Jiang Nannan's heart.

She understood that even if she crippled Xu Sanshi, or completely destroyed his martial soul and left him a broken man, he would likely not hate her too deeply.

But if she defied Le Zhengyue's instructions—she thought of her mother, and her mood plummeted into silence.

Opposite them, Xu Sanshi was gritting his teeth, his eyes burning with torrential rage.

"You beast!"

"To have such a vicious heart at such a young age—someone like you doesn't deserve to live!"

"Just you wait! The moment I get out of here, I will slaughter your ancestors for eight generations!"

Xu Sanshi's tone was filled with fury as he glared fixedly at Le Zhengyue.

Listening to his curses, Le Zhengyue merely turned his head and glanced at him calmly.

Then, under his incredulous gaze, Le Zhengyue directly gripped Jiang Nannan's neck, pulled the young girl's figure toward his side, and pressed his lips against hers.

A sensation of extreme softness washed over her, causing Jiang Nannan's body to tremble slightly.

Both Jiang Nannan and Xu Sanshi had looks of disbelief in their eyes.

Jiang Nannan tried to break free, but coerced by the youth's terrifying strength, she could not retreat a single step.

This kiss lasted for more than two full minutes.

Only after two minutes did Le Zhengyue slightly lift his head, looking at the shy and timid gaze of the young girl, his expression remaining calm.

"You can continue speaking. For every sentence you curse me with, I will kiss her for two minutes. How does that proposal sound?"

As he said this, Le Zhengyue looked at Xu Sanshi with great interest.

"Do you think if we went back to the room to kiss, there might be a possibility of things getting out of hand due to the overly intimate atmosphere?"

Le Zhengyue spoke calmly.

Yet, hearing his near-mocking words, Xu Sanshi's body trembled, but he was completely helpless.

After a two-second silence, Jiang Nannan slowly walked forward and opened the prison door.

Facing the young girl's somewhat ashamed gaze, Xu Sanshi gritted his teeth tightly.

But before he could speak, Jiang Nannan's fair fingers were already raised, and a strange force surged forth, instantly pouring into his body.

His martial soul and entire meridian system were destroyed in an instant, and a heart-wrenching scream echoed out.

Watching Xu Sanshi roar in agony, Le Zhengyue's expression remained calm.

With Xu Sanshi crippled, the most troublesome one had been dealt with.

And Jiang Nannan could now become a mole planted within Huo Yuhao's team.

Huo Yuhao wanted to join the Shrek Seven Devils, so he would naturally prepare to use his original team.

After all, the original team members almost all reached the Super Douluo level in the end; their strength was not weak.

Coupled with his familiarity with these people, Huo Yuhao would most likely recruit his original team.

Even if this version of Jiang Nannan was very weak in the original timeline, Huo Yuhao would still likely bring her along.

And for Le Zhengyue, that was already enough.

He did not need Jiang Nannan to become one of the Shrek Seven Devils; he only needed to plant a nail by Huo Yuhao's side.

Even though Jiang Nannan was essentially his woman and his handmaiden, on the surface, she remained a student of Shrek Academy who had joined through special means, having no connection to the Yue Family.

Huo Yuhao would have no suspicions about this point.

With Jiang Nannan joining Huo Yuhao's team, Le Zhengyue could truly understand some of Huo Yuhao's secrets or situations, and perhaps even gain complete control over them.

This was what Le Zhengyue needed.

Of course, his purpose in doing this was not actually for Huo Yuhao, but for Wang Dong'er.

When the time came, he would certainly use the Memory Erasure Technique to wipe Wang Dong'er's memories.

With Jiang Nannan as a mole, his future plans—whether plotting against Huo Yuhao, sowing discord between the two, or making various arrangements—would proceed much more smoothly.
