Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Heavenly Dao Umbrella, Seven Kills Annihilation

Chapter 174 Why do I feel like I'm cheating?!

Jiang Nian choked and almost spat out the water.

What the hell?
Not yours?
Whose could it be?
Jiang Nian sensed a major scandal, but as his superior, he had to handle it seriously.

"Impossible! You're slandering Ruyan! How could Ruyan be that kind of person!"

I'm going to strangle you to death!

Chen Sheng's eyes were bloodshot, and he was about to grab Feng Qiang's neck with both hands.

But Jiang Nian stopped him.

His mind was a bit muddled, so he decided to listen to what this guy had to say first.

Feng Qiang gritted his teeth and told everything he knew.

five minutes later.

Jiang Nian and Hu Liena both fell silent.

Only the heartbroken Chen Sheng knelt there, repeatedly saying "impossible," his heart almost breaking... Oh no, he was already dead, so where would he find a heart?

"Zhou Ruyan was so seductive, I couldn't resist... Besides, it was only the first day after Palace Master Chen died, and she was already planning to find a new man. I initially resisted her advances, but later I couldn't hold back anymore. One night, after drinking some alcohol, I forced myself on her..."

"After the lights were turned on, she gave in."

"I guess Palace Master Chen didn't see it at the time..."

Jiang Nian slapped him away. What the hell? He's stirring things up even now.
If he continued talking, he would feel a little sorry for the deceased Lord Chen.

Good heavens, what an incompetent husband.

Jiang Nian sighed inwardly that the world was far more absurd than he had imagined; no wonder the little golden retriever could find those kinds of books to read.

Chaos, utter chaos!
Burn them all down!

Chen Sheng went from anger to despair, and now to silence.

Jiang Nian couldn't believe what the future would hold for a man who had survived life-and-death situations, betrayals, and deception.

It just so happens that his underworld is lacking some ghost generals and soldiers, as well as judges and such, so let's start with this one.

“Chen Sheng, right and wrong cannot be judged by his words and deeds. Let’s go and see for ourselves.”

"Once you've resolved your inner conflict, you can stay with me from now on."

The man was stunned for a moment, then knelt down with a thud and kowtowed three times.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"Ah."

Jiang Nian ordered his men to send Feng Qiang to prison and seal his soul power.

Then, he took Chen Sheng to find Zhou Ruyan.

Hu Liena felt dizzy, as if her entire worldview had been shattered.

But something felt off; she felt like she was secretly eating behind Xiaoxue's back...

Hu Liena blushed and patted her cheeks to show that she was actively pursuing love.

They're not even married yet, so why can't they boldly express their love?!
Besides...
She'd be willing to be a concubine...

Hu Liena sighed softly and quickly followed Jiang Nian's pace, her mind filled with complex emotions.

She glanced at the ghost; this was the second ghost she had seen besides the Ghost Elder.

It didn't seem that scary.

On the contrary, it is humans who are terrifying.

······
The Feng residence.

A spacious courtyard.

Even before entering the room, you could hear those suggestive sounds.

"Hmm~ Let's hurry up and go, what if that old man comes back?"

"What are you pretending for, you slut? Only an honest man like Chen Sheng wouldn't know."

"devil···"

Jiang Nian sighed and, with his back to the courtyard, said, "Take care of it yourself. I'll give you three minutes."

Chen Sheng floated into the room without saying a word and saw a pair of adulterous people doing illicit things.

He was momentarily stunned. He couldn't understand why his beloved wife had betrayed him.

As the head of a branch hall of the Spirit Hall, he wields considerable power, at least in this city.

Why betray him?
What exactly did I do wrong?
"Actually, Chen Sheng is a good man. He will accompany you every day and give you whatever you want."

"If you all lived your lives well, what need would there be for people like us?"

Mei Liangxin, who finished the fight in three minutes, sighed and prepared to get up and pack his clothes.

"He was indeed a good person, but unfortunately too upright. While others used their positions to amass wealth, he remained incorruptible and helped ordinary people."

"With my huge expenses, how could I possibly rely on a fixed monthly allowance for food, drink, and entertainment?"

"And the Spirit Hall is so stingy! They only give five hundred gold soul coins for a dead person. What can that even do?!"

Zhou Ruyan said dismissively, but the next moment, her pupils shrank, and she looked at the man who suddenly appeared at the door with fear.

Mei Liangxin was stunned for a moment, then knelt down on the ground with a thud.

"Brother Chen Sheng! I...I really didn't mean to! Please don't take me away..."

The two were terrified; they never expected that the dead Chen Sheng would actually "come back to life"!
What else could this be but a death sentence?
Zhou Ruyan was stunned for a moment, then pretended to be calm and domineering, saying, "Chen Sheng, whether you are dead or not, since you love me, you should love my flaws."

"Yes, I betrayed you, but I had my reasons!"

"Putting aside the facts, are you really completely without fault?!"

Mei Liangxin was stunned and almost wanted to shut the shark arm's mouth.

Didn't you see they were holding a knife?!

"Big brother, I...I'll slap her for you!"

Chen Sheng watched the two men calmly from beginning to end. Then, he raised his hand, slashed them with his sword, and turned to leave.

Moments later, the entire house collapsed, and the adulterous couple perished.

Jiang Nian saw Zhou Ruyan's soul, but didn't take it to heart.

Since Chen Sheng didn't bother with it, he was too lazy to eliminate it either.

After all, he was holding the Book of Life and Death, not the Book of Ten Thousand... Pshaw!

Human Emperor Banner.

"Wow~"

A baby's cry rang out, and a flicker of emotion crossed Chen Sheng's usually calm eyes.

He put down the black knife in his hand and walked towards the side room.

On a bed, there lay a little girl who looked about a year old.

She was crying and sobbing, and no one knew what was wrong.

Chen Sheng looked conflicted. He vaguely remembered the joy he felt as a new father when his little princess was born.

In the past, half of his life revolved around his career, and the other half around his lover.

After she was born, she was half herself and half her lover.

Now that he knows the little girl in front of him might not be his biological child, he has a sudden urge to kill himself.

But when he tried to take action, seeing her crying and the way she reached out her little hand to grab his finger, he found himself in tears.

Chen Sheng believed he had been very good to Zhou Ruyan, especially considering that in a society with multiple wives and concubines, he was one of the most powerful people in Notting City.

He married a woman who wasn't even a Soul Master, didn't even have a concubine, loved her wholeheartedly, yet did such a thing.

Good people... does that mean good people shouldn't be rewarded?

Jiang Nian and Hu Liena looked at the baby in his arms without making a sound, intending to see what the father would do.

Jiang Nian can now see a powerful [Origin] force. The baby in front of him has no connection with Chen Sheng, which means he is not his biological child.

“Your Highness, I wish to entrust her to a kind, ordinary family.”

"Although...although she's not my biological daughter, but..."

A gentle smile appeared on Chen Sheng's face.

"The child is ultimately innocent."
