Chapter 168 I'll Take Your Dog's Life
The carriage was in a mess. Chen Qingling's eyes were red with tears, and her face was pale and weak, which was a sign of excessive physical exertion.
Among them was an older man in his forties, shirtless, sitting next to Chen Qingling.
Seeing Jiang Yueming barge in, a wicked thought immediately arose in his mind. He turned to Chen Qingling and smiled, "You served me quite well tonight. I will take you into the Liu family, and your younger sister will also come as part of your dowry."
Upon hearing that this disgusting old man was going to harm her sister, Chen Qingling gripped his arm tightly, trembling all over, as if she had been stimulated by something.
"No...please...don't..."
Looking at the delicate beauty in front of him, who seemed so pitiful, and hearing her dishonest words, Liu Jun wanted to turn the tables, but unfortunately, his physical condition wouldn't allow it.
He had no choice but to give up in resentment, but his desire to humiliate Chen Qingling only grew stronger.
He knew that to truly win over his prey, taming it once was not enough; he first had to completely erase its arrogant nature.
"How was it? How did you feel just now?" Liu Jun patted Chen Qingling's body and teased.
Chen Qingling's face flushed red, and she dared not look at Jiang Yueming, biting her lip tightly and refusing to speak.
Seeing her like this, Liu Jun wasn't annoyed and slowly said, "If you don't tell me, I'll have your sister tell you tomorrow."
"No! No way!" Upon hearing this, Chen Qingling immediately opened her eyes and shouted.
"Fine, then you say it!" Liu Jun slapped Chen Qingling's leg hard and sneered.
Forced into a corner, Chen Qingling shed two streams of tears, and slowly opened her alluring lips, saying in despair, "Okay..."
"That's enough!"
Jiang Yueming, who was standing to the side, immediately snapped out of her shock. Several figures flashed to Chen Qingling's side and picked up blankets to cover her.
He turned to look at Liu Jun, his expression icy cold, and said indifferently, "Holy Dragon Empire, Your Majesty, Marquis Liu Jun, is it?"
Upon hearing the words "Uncle Wang," Liu Jun's smile widened, and he said, "Since you know my identity, I'll let you off this time, considering how sensible you are."
"If you kneel down and kowtow three times to me, this woman will be yours tonight."
"Huh? My turn? You're going to talk to me too?"
boom!
After a cold laugh, Jiang Yueming raised one foot and kicked Liu Jun hard to the side, then stomped his shoe and foot into his mouth.
Ugh! Ugh!
Liu Jun suddenly found it hard to breathe, gripping Jiang Yueming's legs tightly with both hands, and mumbled, "Waaah... don't be ungrateful!"
"I... am the emperor's uncle! Do you believe I can use the entire nation's power to kill you!"
Upon hearing these words, Jiang Yueming gritted her teeth, her face contorting with rage. She suddenly stomped her foot, causing Liu Jun's eyes to roll back instantly.
When he heard the name Qingling, he felt a surge of annoyance. The things Jian Rufeng had done to Li Qingling were now being reenacted, and his anger erupted instantly.
"You...bitch...make him...stop..."
Liu Jun felt death drawing ever closer to him. He stretched out a hand to Chen Qingling for help, and in the void, the old and ugly hand twisted and trembled.
Chen Qingling felt nauseous. These were the same hands that had defiled her just now, but now she had no choice but to plead for him.
Because her entire family's lives were in the hands of this old man, Chen Qingling would not have gotten into Liu Jun's carriage if he hadn't threatened her with her sister.
After getting into the carriage...
"You...you should let him go. This is none of your business. Just leave."
Chen Qingling closed her tearful eyes, feeling utterly powerless, and said weakly.
Upon hearing her hoarse voice, Jiang Yueming put down his feet and took a deep breath to calm himself.
That Marquis Liu is even more powerful than Marquis Han. If I offend him too much now, I will have no place to stand in the Holy Dragon Empire.
cough! cough!
As soon as Jiang Yueming released his foot, Liu Jun fell to the ground, coughing incessantly, his expression gradually turning cruel.
"Are you... alright? Do you need me to..."
"roll!"
Before Jiang Yueming could finish speaking, Chen Qingling spoke first.
"No, I can save him..."
"Get out! I told you to get out! Can't you understand human language? Get out!" Chen Qingling looked at Jiang Yueming with tears in her eyes and shouted angrily.
Jiang Yueming lowered his head slightly, obscuring his expression, but he knew Chen Qingling was doing it for his own good.
Liu Jun hasn't had time to remember Jiang Yueming's appearance yet, so as long as he leaves the carriage, Liu Jun can seek revenge on him amidst the crowds.
That would be as difficult as ascending to heaven!
But if Jiang Yueming continues to help her, he will definitely be remembered by Liu Jun, and the consequences are predictable!
"I…"
After a long silence, Jiang Yueming still chose to leave.
The moment he left the carriage, he heard a woman's screams and an old man's extremely comfortable moans coming from behind him.
That night, Jiang Yueming stood quietly on the roof of the carriage, no matter how fierce the cold wind was, it could not compare to the frost in his heart.
That was the first time he felt helpless. It wasn't that he didn't want to be a hero and save the damsel in distress, but that he was powerless to do so.
We saved Chen Qingling today, but what about tomorrow?
Even if keeping Chen Qingling with him could protect her, what about her family?
How is Chen Qingling's current situation different from that of the Loyalty Escort Agency?
"I was too arrogant before. Those disciples were right. I was born at the top of the pyramid, and everything is easy to solve in the Jiang Clan."
"After becoming a God of War, one is revered and respected by thousands. What difficulties could one possibly face in the presence of a God of War?"
"Now that I've fallen from the pyramids, I realize how difficult life is, and how cruel the world can be."
In the cold night sky, a self-deprecating smile crept onto Jiang Yueming's lips.
He despises the evils of capitalism and the evils of those in power!
They exploit human weaknesses and oppress the vulnerable in every way!
……
Jiang Yueming stood there all night. As the east rose, the faint morning light slowly melted away the chill on his body, but the icy coldness in his heart could never be erased.
"Wow, so amazing! Did I fail to satisfy Your Highness last night?"
"This morning, you're making me suffer again!"
In the early morning, the carriage emitted that unsettling sound again, but fortunately it didn't last long. About three minutes later, the sound of a man snoring could be heard.
Chen Qingling finally stepped down from the carriage, but her steps were somewhat unnatural. She secretly wiped away her tears, tidied her appearance, and then left.
Jiang Yueming followed her quietly, his mind filled with Chen Qingling's "this humble servant" calls. He couldn't understand how she had fallen to such a state in just one night.
No! That's not right! I shouldn't have said that about her; it was my own indifference that made her like this.
Jiang Yueming slapped herself hard, shaking off her damned thoughts.
Soon Chen Qingling arrived at a carriage in a relatively secluded location. She tidied her appearance again and went inside.
Jiang Yueming couldn't see inside, so she could only stand to the side and listen silently to the conversation inside.
First, a child's voice, about ten years old, rang out.
"Sister! You're back!"
"Qingli, be a good girl and listen to Mommy here."
"Mmm! Lily always listens to her mother the most."
Then came the choked voice of an old woman.
"Daughter, did you go to Liu Jun's carriage?"
"Yes, Mother, I'm going. He promised to ensure our safe journey and also promised to let Father go."
"Then...what are the conditions?"
"I... became her sixteenth concubine."
"What! Make me a concubine! Our family is the richest family in the Holy Dragon Empire! Isn't this a blatant humiliation?"
"My daughter! Why is your life so miserable!"
Following the old woman's sorrowful voice, cries of heartbreaking grief also rang out.
"Alright, Mother, since I'm already a withered flower, what difference does it make whether I'm the eldest or the youngest?"
"Waaah... If I'd known it would turn out like this, you should have given it to that kid back then. At least he was young!"
"Waaah... Why did you have to let that old man humiliate you! My daughter! Waaah..."
"Alright, alright, Mom, sometimes what you like and reality are different. He probably can't protect our whole family. And now that I'm in this state, I just hope I have nothing more to do with him."
"Treating him this way is good for our whole family, and Lord Liu is also good to me; he even feeds me fragrant osmanthus flowers."
Outside the car, Jiang Yueming's face was dark, his fists clenched, and his eyes surged with murderous intent.
Every word Chen Qingling spoke felt like a sharp blade piercing his heart.
"Liu Jun! You just wait! One day I'll take your dog's life!"
