What Kind of Scum-Girl Remarks Are These!

Ding. Ling Qingzhu felt panic and unease. Emotion Points +99

Chen Xuan instantly understood everything.

He stared fixedly at Ling Qingzhu.

Then he tested her with a suggestion. "In that case, let's go ask Master to take a look. Maybe after she sees this martial art, she'll agree to let us consummate the marriage immediately."

"I still need to cultivate. Why don't we go find Master after some time?"

Ling Qingzhu did not dare go right away, afraid that Master would notice something.

All she could do was stall for time.

"Senior Sister, cultivation isn't so urgent that it can't wait a moment!"

Today, Chen Xuan wanted to see for himself.

This genius wife of his.

Just what kind of excuses she could come up with to fob him off!

"I... I think I've touched the barrier of the Nirvana Realm. I need to go into seclusion quickly and break through."

Ling Qingzhu did not want to stay here for even another moment.

Ding. Ling Qingzhu felt the urge to flee. Emotion Points +50

Chen Xuan continued to suggest, "Perfect. I just broke through to the Nirvana Realm and have some small insights. Perhaps I can help you."

"No need. I can do it myself," Ling Qingzhu refused again.

Chen Xuan watched her keep dodging.

His heart sank to rock bottom.

His fists clenched even tighter!

You still won't tell me the truth.

How long are you planning to hide this from me?

He could endure it no longer.

Losing patience, he grabbed Ling Qingzhu's snow-white wrist.

"Why didn't you listen to my warning? Why did you go to the Great Yan Dynasty alone? Why?!"

"I... I went to the Great Yan Dynasty to handle proper business. It wasn't as if I went sightseeing."

Ling Qingzhu was startled by Chen Xuan's sudden fury.

But she did not think there was anything wrong with her going to the Great Yan Dynasty.

She even felt that Chen Xuan was meddling too much.

However, the moment she thought of what had happened in the Great Yan Dynasty, her confidence faltered again.

Ding. Ling Qingzhu felt guilt. Emotion Points +99

Guilt?

What use was guilt now?

Has your rebellious phase arrived, so you're insisting on going against me?

It wasn't as if I wouldn't let you go.

I only told you to bring a powerful bodyguard with you.

Was that so hard?

Hating that she refused to live up to expectations, Chen Xuan said, "Proper business? Didn't I tell you that before you reached the Nirvana Realm, you had to bring an elder with you whenever you went out?"

"I'll bring one next time I go out. That's enough, isn't it? If there's nothing else, I need to go back and cultivate."

Ling Qingzhu knew she was in the wrong. She exerted force with her wrist, trying to break free from Chen Xuan's grip.

She wanted to hurry back to her own courtyard and thoroughly wash off the scent on her body that did not belong to her.

To seal that matter forever in the depths of her memory.

Never to mention it again.

And let herself continue to remain perfect.

But unfortunately.

She failed to break free.

Ding. Ling Qingzhu felt guilt, grievance, regret, and anger. Emotion Points +369

"Tell me. Is there something else you're hiding from me, something you don't want me to know?"

Chen Xuan looked at Ling Qingzhu's wronged expression, but not the slightest ripple stirred in his heart.

The Ling Qingzhu of the past, though she gave others a cold sense of keeping them a thousand miles away.

Had never treated him like this before today.

It made Chen Xuan feel as if she were a stranger.

"I have nothing to hide from you."

Ling Qingzhu turned her head aside without the slightest hesitation.

She had never even considered telling the truth.

After all, back then, Chen Xuan had warned her more than once not to go to the Great Yan Dynasty alone.

And especially not to go to the Tianyan Mountain Range.

Even if she wanted to go, she should have brought along an elder at least at the Nirvana Realm.

It was all her own fault.

She had not listened to her husband.

That was what had led to this terrible mistake.

For now, all she could do was hide it for as long as she could.

She hoped that one day, she would be able to find a way to make up for it.

Besides...

what had happened back then was not entirely her fault.

If anyone was to blame, it was that loathsome Tomb Master, and that brat Lin Dong!

If not for them, she would never have lost herself there!

It was all their fault!

After hearing Ling Qingzhu's words, the furious Chen Xuan forcibly lifted her arm and yanked up her sleeve.

Pointing at her wrist, he demanded harshly, "You still say there isn't? Then tell me, where did the thing on your wrist go?"

Originally, on her wrist, there had been Shougong Sand personally marked by the Palace Lord of Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace.

The Palace Lord had done this precisely to know whether the two of them had secretly tasted forbidden fruit behind her back.

And now?

On Ling Qingzhu's wrist, the Shougong Sand that symbolized her maidenhood had vanished.

Wasn't that enough to explain the problem?

"I... I don't know what you're talking about."

Ling Qingzhu's delicate body trembled, and even her voice carried a faint quiver.

Ding, Ling Qingzhu generated emotions such as guilt + regret + panic + nervousness + unease, triggering a critical hit. Emotional Value +999

Ding, congratulations, host. You have obtained three consecutive draws. Begin the lottery immediately?

System messages rang out one after another.

But at that moment, Chen Xuan had no attention to spare.

He truly had never expected it.

Even now, instead of thinking of confessing, Ling Qingzhu was still trying to bluff her way through in front of him!

Disappointment and anger surfaced in Chen Xuan's eyes. "Even now, you still want to hide it from me, is that it?"

"I don't understand what nonsense you're spouting."

Ling Qingzhu clenched her fair hand tightly, her guilty gaze never daring to meet Chen Xuan's eyes.

She deliberately pretended not to understand.

She intended to walk this path to the bitter end!

I'm spouting nonsense?

Chen Xuan laughed. "Do you really take me for a fool? You know perfectly well what you did in the Tianyan Mountain Range of the Great Yan Dynasty!"

"I... I only went to the Great Yan Dynasty to help a friend with something. Don't let your imagination run wild!"

Ling Qingzhu turned her head aside, not daring to look at Chen Xuan at all.

My imagination is running wild?

Chen Xuan was so angry he laughed. "You think I'll believe that?"

Ling Qingzhu changed the subject. "Let go. You're hurting me."

Hearing that, Chen Xuan laughed despite his fury. "This is enough to hurt you? Then when you did what you did in the Tianyan Mountain Range, didn't it hurt at all?"

"Why are you being so unreasonable today?"

"Heh, I'm being unreasonable? What did you do in that tomb manor? Do you need me to help jog your memory?"

"Chen Xuan! You... you followed me?"

When she heard Chen Xuan say that, Ling Qingzhu could no longer hold it together. Her beautiful eyes widened, and her defenses shattered on the spot.

She thought he had sent people to follow her in secret.

Ding, Ling Qingzhu generated shame + fury. Emotion Points +699

Chen Xuan sneered. "If you don't want people to know, then don't do it!"

"Since you sent people to follow me, why didn't you help me back then?"

Ling Qingzhu froze for a moment. Instead of explaining, she questioned him in return.

If someone had helped her back then, she would not have been trapped by that person, much less lost her chastity because of it!

"I didn't send anyone to follow you. I was just guessing. But it seems I guessed right."

Chen Xuan's heart turned cold, and he felt unspeakably miserable.

The one he had cared for with all his heart

had been effortlessly snatched away by an outsider.

What was this supposed to be?

Seeing that the matter had already been exposed, Ling Qingzhu could only confess, and she played the emotional card. "This matter can't be entirely blamed on me either. I was forced. I wasn't willing. You have to believe me!"

So what, you want to say that if he wore protection, it doesn't count as giving it away?

What kind of damn scumbag-woman worldview was that?

Chen Xuan sneered and shook his head.

"You still have the nerve to say you were forced? Heh. I warned you more than once before not to go to the Great Yan Dynasty alone. You refused to listen. Who can you blame?"
