The saintess is pregnant, what does that have to do with me, a spoiled brat?

Shen Qingyi was dressed in white, her face as cold as ice.

She didn't even glance at her half-dead brother on the ground, and went straight to Xu Nuo.

"Get out of the Shen family. I could never marry a piece of trash like you."

Xu Nuo sat on horseback, observing the most beautiful woman in Dali with great interest.

She's truly exceptional.

He didn't come here today to talk about love with her.

An elderly man with a cane walked quickly out from behind Shen Qingyi; it was Shen Wanshan, the head of the Shen family.

"Have the people of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion gone mad? Do they intend to forcibly abduct women?"

Old Chen took a step forward, his gray long robe fluttering even without wind.

"Master Shen, we've come today to propose marriage."

"This is my master's decision. Your Shen family has no choice."

As soon as the words were spoken, the faces of the Shen family members instantly turned extremely ugly.

Is this a marriage proposal?

This is blatant coercion!

Shen Wanshan's smile froze, and he angrily rebuked:

"He's a good-for-nothing playboy who spends his days drinking, gambling, whoring, and bullying men and women. He's completely unworthy to be the son-in-law of the Shen family!"

"You'd better get out of the Shen family right now, or I'll definitely report you to His Majesty!"

Old Chen said calmly, "Whatever."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingyi's expression turned even colder.

"Are you really going to completely break off relations?"

Upon hearing this, Old Chen looked at her as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, and glanced at her with his cloudy old eyes.

"To tear off the mask?"

"Where do you get the confidence to think you're worthy of breaking ties with the Xu family?"

mad!

That's insane!

The onlookers gasped in astonishment.

The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion is still the same unreasonable Duke of Zhenguo's mansion!

As for the Shen family members, they were all filled with righteous indignation, looking at Xu Nuo with angry expressions.

Xu Nuo almost burst out laughing while on horseback.

This old man is more like a villain than I am.

He cleared his throat and lazily opened his mouth, adding another spoonful of oil to the fire.

"Miss Shen, my grandfather said that my taking a liking to you is a stroke of good luck, so don't be ungrateful."

"you!"

Shen Qingyi's chest heaved with anger, and her beautiful face finally showed a slight change.

She took a deep breath, said no more, and simply waved her hand gently.

next moment.

A dark figure suddenly appeared beside her, kneeling on one knee without making a sound.

"Just drive them away, but don't go too far."

"Yes! Saintess!"

A dark figure rose up in response.

Saintess?

Xu Nuo was stunned for a moment.

What is that?

Does this woman have another identity?

Before he could figure it out, the dark figure had already moved.

It moved with incredible speed, becoming a blur, its five fingers forming a claw, aiming straight for Old Chen's face!

This claw strike carried a sharp, powerful gust of wind, clearly indicating a skilled practitioner with considerable strength.

A glimmer of hope ignited in the eyes of everyone in the Shen family.

This is the Shen family's last trump card!

however.

Faced with this fatal blow, Old Chen didn't even lift his eyelids.

He simply raised his hand casually, and before anyone else could react, he slapped the other person across the face.

The movements look slow, but they are incredibly fast.

Snapped!

A crisp slap echoed down the entire street.

That arrogant black figure was like a spinning top that had been whipped into the air.

It flew horizontally for more than ten meters and crashed heavily into the stone lion at the entrance.

"Snap!"

The sound of bones cracking was clearly audible.

The dark figure slid to the ground, twitched twice, and then died instantly.

The entire room fell silent.

Everyone is stupid.

The hope on the faces of the Shen family members instantly froze, turning into endless terror.

Before dying, the dark figure used its last bit of strength to utter a few words.

"You...you are...a sixth-rank...expert!"

A sixth-rank master?!

Xu Nuo was also stunned.

Holy crap?

Is the old man that fierce?

The hierarchy of power in this world is very strict.

The ninth rank is the starting point, and the first rank is the pinnacle.

Ninth grade body refinement, eighth grade copper skin, seventh grade iron bones, sixth grade meridian opening.

Anywhere, a sixth-rank martial artist is definitely considered a master.

How could an ordinary butler in the Xu family be a sixth-rank expert?

The entire Shen family was terrified.

Their greatest asset was destroyed by a single slap from someone's butler.

How can we play like this?

Old Chen withdrew his hand and slowly wiped it on his sleeve, as if he had just swatted a fly.

He raised his head, his cloudy gaze sweeping over the Shen family members.

"this one?"

Shen Qingyi was dressed in white, her face covered with a layer of frost.

A sixth-rank master!

She kept a low profile this time, and her strongest bodyguard, Shadow, was only a seventh-rank martial artist.

Although he could be considered a master in Dali, he was no match for a sixth-rank expert.

I originally thought that with the Shen family's reputation and a seventh-rank expert in the capital, I would be more than capable.

Who knew we'd run into such a tough opponent this time!

The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion actually sent out a master of this caliber to serve as a guard for a spoiled brat!

"Your Zhenguo Duke's mansion had better not go too far!"

Shen Qingyi's voice was icy, and she forced herself to remain calm.

"Too much?"

Old Chen took a step forward, his wrinkled old face remaining completely expressionless.

"When your Shen family almost killed my young master, why didn't you say anything was excessive?"

"Today, you have to leave, whether you like it or not!"

Old Chen's voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable domineering air.

Shen Qingyi's chest heaved with anger; she had never suffered such humiliation before.

"Do you even know who I am?!"

I don't care who you are.

Old Chen didn't give her a chance to continue speaking.

Before he finished speaking, his figure vanished from the spot.

The next instant, he appeared beside Shen Qingyi like a ghost.

Shen Qingyi only felt a gust of wind coming towards her, and had no time to react at all.

Old Chen raised his withered hand and delivered a precise chop to the back of her neck.

"Well……"

Shen Qingyi groaned, her vision went black, and her body went limp as she collapsed to the ground.

Faced with a master of this caliber, her pride and joy in intelligence and cunning were utterly useless.

"Qingyi!"

Shen Wanshan, the head of the Shen family, rushed out from behind and was terrified to see that Shen Qingyi had been knocked unconscious.

"Old Chen! Old Chen, please have mercy! Let's talk this out, let's talk this out!"

Old Chen didn't even glance at him, and waved to the fierce soldiers behind him.

Two soldiers from the Zhenbei Army immediately stepped forward, lifted the unconscious Shen Qingyi, and carried her directly to the ranks.

"withdraw."

Old Chen uttered a single word, then turned and followed.

The entire marriage proposal procession arrived in a grand and imposing manner, and left even more arrogantly, directly snatching away the eldest daughter of the Shen family.

The collapsed gate, the mess on the ground, and a group of stunned Shen family guards were left behind.

Of course, there was also the generous betrothal gift left by the Xu family.

But now no one cares to see what's inside.

Shen Wanshan watched the departing procession, trembling with rage.

"father!"

Shen Changqing was helped over, limping, with blood still trickling from the corner of his mouth.

"They...they kidnapped them! What do we do?"

Shen Wanshan turned around abruptly, grabbed Shen Changqing's arm, his voice trembling.

"Quickly! Send someone to the Holy Land immediately! Report everything that happened here!"

……

night.

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, the Heir Apparent's Separate Residence.

The bedroom was brightly lit by candlelight.

Shen Qingyi slowly woke up, and the sharp pain in the back of her neck made her frown.

She sat up abruptly and looked around.

Then, I saw the person sitting on a chair not far away.

Promise!

At that moment, he was sitting with his legs crossed, holding a cup of tea, looking at her with great interest.

"woke up?"

"As expected of the most beautiful woman in Dali, she looks so beautiful even when she just woke up."

"Promise!"

Shen Qingyi's anger was instantly ignited, and she threw off the covers and was about to get out of bed.

"You shameless scoundrel! You dare kidnap me! Let me go back right now!"

Looking at her like that, Xu Nuo felt a sudden surge of heat in her heart.

He subconsciously touched the jade pendant on his chest.

It's still hot.

A strange, intense desire surged from the jade pendant and rushed into his mind.

Holy crap?

Xu Nuo's heart skipped a beat.

What's with this jade pendant?

He could clearly sense that this intense desire was directed at Shen Qingyi, who was standing right in front of him.

The jade pendant seemed to sense something on her, something that had a fatal attraction to it.

Xu Nuo took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the fire in her heart.

He discovered that although the desire was strong, it was not entirely uncontrollable.

However, what exactly is it about Shen Qingyi that could cause such a strong reaction from the jade pendant?

It seems this woman is even more complex than I imagined.

"Should I let you go back?"

"Miss Shen, haven't you figured out the situation yet?"

"I personally led people to your house to propose marriage, and now you are my wife."

"you!"

Shen Qingyi's pretty face turned red with anger. She mobilized her internal energy, preparing to teach this arrogant scoundrel a lesson.

However, the next second, her expression changed.

The acupoints have been sealed!

Shen Qingyi's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

Without internal energy, she was just a weak woman who couldn't even kill a chicken.

She panicked completely.

"I'm warning you, don't come any closer! If you dare touch me, you piece of trash, I'll chop off your dog paws!"

Seeing that he remained unmoved, Shen Qingyi gritted her teeth in a panic and said:

"Promise! Forced love is never sweet. Even if you get my body, you'll never get my heart! You shameless piece of trash, I'd rather die than submit!"

Xu Nuo raised an eyebrow and slowly stood up:

"Who said I wanted your heart?"

"Forced love is never sweet, but it quenches thirst."

In his previous life, he was a complete Xiao Chunan, and he never expected to receive such a benefit right after transmigrating.

That's even better!

You absolutely have to wear this!

As Shen Qingyi resisted from inside the room, Xu Nuo directly pressed his way onto her.
