Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss

Chapter 403: Having One’s Name Reek for Ten Thousand Years Because of The Accusing Fingers of a Thousand Men

“Not bad. You can even resolve the effects of Heart Eroding Qi Transforming Grass. You definitely deserve to be hailed as the up-and-coming outstanding star of Nan Xia Country, a rare encounter of talent every hundred years. What a pity that such talent cannot be used by Ding Lin Country.” A grim and heavy voice reverberated in the midst of the forest as Ren Youran and four other elderly men appeared quietly before them. About ten other middle-aged men followed behind them, all radiating murderous intents.

“Ah, you guys have finally arrived.” Ling Chuxi had guessed that the first prince would have left a little something behind for them. Ren Youran’s appearance was within Ling Chuxi’s expectations but an unexpected occurrence at the same time. Why was this so? It was within her expectations that Ren Youran had wanted to strike them down. What was unexpected was the fact that he had actually colluded with the first prince! Had water entered the first prince’s head? He had actually poisoned and attempted to murder the cultivators of his own country and therefore weaken the national power of his nation. No, Ling Chuxi did not think that water had entered the first prince’s head. There was definitely a secret within all of this that could not be disclosed.

“Ling Chuxi, I shall give you and your companions one last chance to reconsider my offer. You will not only get to keep your small, insignificant lives if you join me in Wu Feng Hall. You will also be able to enjoy endless riches and much honor. The advancement of your martial arts will be just around the corner as well,” said Ren Youran arrogantly.

“This matter...” said Ling Chuxi as she frowned as if in great distress. “Could you give me a moment to let me consider this?”

“Consider it quickly then. My patience isn’t too good.” Upon seeing Ling Chuxi’s distressed expression, Ren Youran’s nose pointed even higher towards the skies. He cursed in his heart, ‘How despicable to refuse the toast but drink the wine of forfeit.’

“Aiya. I’m so tangled up about this,” sighed Ling Chuxi looking very hesitant and perturbed. Then she announced with all seriousness, “I’m a little fearful of dying.”

At this, a tear escaped the corner of Li Shaoqiu’s eye. ‘Big Sister, I’m also afraid of dying. But, can you not say such words with such seriousness at this time? What are you really thinking of doing? Can you be more straightforward?’

Ren Youran looked at Ling Chuxi with contempt. Just as he was about to say something sarcastic, what Ling Chuxi said next caused his expression to change.

“But, I’m even more fearful of my name reeking for ten thousand years because of the accusing fingers of a thousand men. It will not only be me who has to endure the accusation of being a traitor. Even my children will have to endure such an insult forever and never see the light of a life without shame.” Ling Chuxi sneered as she spoke these words with extraordinary clarity.

It was as if Ren Youran’s heart had been pierced by a thousand knives. He even felt the sensation of having been slapped across the face many times. Having one’s name reek for ten thousand years because of the accusing fingers of a thousand men! Each word was akin to a huge thousand-pound rock smashing into his heart. Even the last piece of cloth he was using to cover his shame had been mercilessly pulled away by Ling Chuxi, leaving him exposed under the sun. Then he saw the deep looks of contempt in the eyes of Li Shaoqiu, the envoy and the rest of the Nan Xia Country fleet.

“Ah—you, you deserve to die!” roared Ren Youran furiously as he reached for his sword. The fury in his voice made everyone tremble with fear.

“Hold on! Wait, my good man, please spare us!” shouted Ling Chuxi even louder than him in response. This caused Ren Youran to stagger back and almost fall down.

Knowing Ling Chuxi’s temperament well, both Ling Yichen and Baili Han almost sputtered. What was Ling Chuxi going to do again? She was always so quirky and full of surprises. Why, she had even shouted out such words!
