Chapter 360 Comparing Mother and Daughter, the Mother-in-Law Seems More Appealing
"Chu Nan, where have you been gallivanting off to again?"
Seeing Chu Nan, who looked like a drunkard, Shu Miaohua's eyes were filled with disgust, and she coldly rebuked him.
"Mother, I...I..."
"shut up!"
"As my teacher's son-in-law, he spends all his time lingering among women."
"Guards, administer family discipline! Slap him!"
Shu Miaohua's face was as cold as ice. At her command, three burly men stepped forward.
The two men forced Chu Nan to kneel down, and one of them slapped Chu Nan repeatedly in the face.
The entire sequence of movements was fluid and skillful, demonstrating exceptional practice.
"Damn it."
“I beg you, my lord, allow this old servant to execute this foolish woman.”
Upon seeing this, the Dragon Guard, hidden in the shadows, sent a silent message to Chu Nan with cold, bloodthirsty eyes filled with chilling killing intent.
Their powerful, godlike lord was so insulted by a few ants, which enraged the Dragon Guard to the extreme.
"Shut up! If you dare to harm a single hair on my mother-in-law's head, I'll make you regret ever being born!" Chu Nan shouted through his voice.
On the surface, he was meek and submissive, his face twisted and blood trickling from the corner of his mouth after being beaten, looking utterly pathetic.
If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't be able to tolerate this humiliation.
But Chu Nan endured it, and didn't blame Shu Miaohua at all.
Chu Nan knew very well that Shu Miaohua was doing all this for his own good.
Back when he first married into the family, Shu Miaohua, though she disliked him, treated him as her son-in-law and even gave him treasures, hoping to help him regain his talent for cultivation.
This warmed Chu Nan's heart.
Having experienced so much deceit and treachery, Shu Miaohua's care was more precious to him than any treasure in the world.
Chu Nan had sworn a solemn oath to protect Shu Miaohua for the rest of his life and never let her suffer any harm.
Anyone who dares to touch a hair on Shu Miaohua's head, no matter who it is, he will kill them.
Moreover, he did all this to deceive his good brother from his previous life, Immortal King Long Tianyu.
He had to pretend to be a playboy.
He lingers among the flowers every day.
At first, Shu Miaohua was disappointed in him and lectured him, but in order to play the role of a playboy, he had to disappoint Shu Miaohua time and time again.
Shu Miaohua did this entirely because he was incompetent.
What did Shu Miaohua do wrong as a mother-in-law?
Shu Miaohua is correct.
He knew that Shu Miaohua had always been tough on the outside but soft on the inside, and stubborn in words but soft on heart.
As long as he sincerely apologizes, Shu Miaohua will eventually soften her heart.
"stop!"
"Mother, stop hitting her."
Shi Jingqiong descended from the sky, her gorgeous dress fluttering, her stunningly beautiful face making her seem like a celestial maiden descending to earth.
She went to her mother's side and gently shook her head at her.
Chu Nan looked up and a look of amazement flashed in his eyes. So beautiful.
Did his wife finally come to bail him out?
Great.
"Hmph, don't stop, keep hitting him."
Shu Miaohua frowned, unwilling to let Chu Nan off the hook so easily.
She was already extremely dissatisfied with the marriage.
Her daughter is so talented and of such noble birth, let alone Chu Nan, who is just a useless person who cannot cultivate.
Even if Chu Nan is a prodigy, he is still not worthy of Shi Jingqiong, being merely the son of the Prince of Zhenbei.
What's even more hateful is that after Chu Nan married into the family, instead of keeping a low profile and behaving himself, he spent his days indulging in brothels.
They have utterly disgraced the Shi family and Shi Jingqiong.
How could Shu Miaohua let Chu Nan go?
Once she gets a chance, she won't let Chu Nan off easily.
"Clap clap clap!"
The slapping paused for a moment, then became even clearer and louder.
Zhong Yongjun's eyes revealed a mocking look, and he transmitted his voice to taunt, "Useless trash, so what if you married into the family? Aren't you still as lowly as a slave? You can be slapped by us at will."
"Heh!" Chu Nan let out a cold snort, returning the look with the same disdain.
How could these ants and fools understand that this was exactly the effect he wanted?
He is playing a grand game, using his humble status as a useless son-in-law to orchestrate the world's affairs, with heaven and earth as the chessboard and all living beings as the pieces.
Just wait, one day he will amaze the world, dare to change the world, and reign supreme.
"waste!"
Seeing Chu Nan's disdainful look, Zhong Yongjun became furious and tightened his grip even more.
Gu Qing sat in the pavilion, his eyes piercing through time and space as he glanced at Chu Nan, who had been slapped. He twitched his lips, unable to bear looking at this heaven-defying war god son-in-law.
He turned to look at Shu Miaohua, whose appearance was stunning and bore a striking resemblance to Shi Jingqiong.
However, the air of a wealthy socialite she exuded was something that Shi Jingqiong, this fake young woman, could not match.
Both mother and daughter were like ripe autumn fruits, plump and juicy.
She was dressed in gorgeous clothes, exuding nobility, but she had a vulgar figure, and her chest was so big that it looked like she was stuffed up.
She made the men around her unable to resist stealing glances from the corner of their eyes, unable to stop themselves from looking at her.
[Host, Shu Miaohua is also a female lead, and she possesses a fortune of 100,000.]
Gu Qing was taken aback, then asked with delight, "Whose female lead?"
[Of course, it's Chu Nan's female lead. In the entire Shi family, Shu Miaohua is in charge of internal affairs, while Shi Jingqiong is in charge of external affairs. She has more contact with Chu Nan. Didn't the host notice that Chu Nan's attitude towards Shu Miaohua is different?]
"I've discovered something strange, this is the first time I've ever seen anything like it," Gu Qing retorted, then asked, "Mother and daughter, it can't be, right?"
[The host's perspective is too narrow. Who told you that the male and female leads have to have a romantic relationship? Can't they love each other but not be together?]
Does this work too?
Gu Qing was speechless.
"enough!"
“Bring the person to my backyard.”
Shi Jingqiong couldn't bear to watch any longer. It wasn't that she felt sorry for Chu Nan, but she knew that Chu Nan had come here to suffer humiliation, only to temper his Dao heart.
She couldn't help but stop it.
If Shu Miaohua continues to humiliate them like this, and Chu Nan suddenly achieves perfect Dao Heart, then the mother and daughter will be finished.
"According to Qiong'er's wishes."
Shu Miaohua was unwilling, but she did not refute her daughter in public to save face.
And so, Chu Nan was dragged away like a dead dog.
Shi Jingqiong's eyelids twitched as she watched, thinking to herself, "I'll have to talk to my mother about this later and tell her to stop humiliating Chu Nan."
……
"It's you."
In the back garden, Gu Qing was seen sitting in the pavilion, leisurely drinking tea, with several beautiful maids serving him.
Chu Nan's eyes suddenly sharpened, and his aura changed abruptly, like a proud and imposing man, exuding domineering power.
"Thump!" Zhong Yongjun was startled by Chu Nan's imposing aura and involuntarily took a step back.
[Detected that the Chosen One, Chu Nan, harbors malicious intent towards the host and is plundering the host's fortune. Triggered Super Anti-Armor, plundering three thousand units of Chu Nan's fortune in return!]
Wonderful... I got my hands on three thousand taels of luck so easily.
Gu Qing smiled.
"Snapped!"
When Shu Miaohua saw Gu Qing, she was also stunned for a moment, not understanding why there was suddenly a man in her daughter's back garden.
They must be a distinguished guest of my daughter.
Hearing Chu Nan's sharp shout, Shu Miaohua snapped back to reality. Enraged, she slapped him across the face without hesitation.
With a single True Essence Handprint, Chu Nan, who exuded an overbearing aura, was sent flying.
"You insolent fool, do you think you can offend Qiong'er's distinguished guest?"
"Men, give him a good beating!"
Shu Miaohua's beautiful face was filled with anger as she cursed viciously.
This good-for-nothing eats and uses the food from her master's family, yet she can't help with anything and brings shame to her master's family every day.
If Chu Nan ruins her daughter's plans, she won't let him off the hook.
Gu Qing's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, but she continued to drink tea and eat pastries as if nothing had happened.
"Yes, ma'am!"
Zhong Yongjun grinned maliciously and gave his companion a wink.
He was furious and embarrassed that he had been intimidated by Chu Nan's imposing manner.
This time he went all out; he would beat them to death as long as he couldn't kill them.
"Clap clap clap!"
[Detected that the Chosen One, Chu Nan, harbors malice towards the host and is plundering the host's fortune, thus incurring the wrath of the Super Anti-Armor, which retaliates by plundering three thousand units of Chu Nan's fortune.]
Gu Qing suddenly felt that her perspective was too narrow.
What kind of underhanded tricks are they using?
There's no need to use a borrowed knife to kill a useless son-in-law like Chu Nan.
As long as you hook up with Shu Miaohua, won't your luck just come pouring in?
"I was too hasty..." Gu Qing felt a little annoyed.
Comparing Shi Jingqiong and Shu Miaohua, Shu Miaohua seems to be more fragrant.
Shake your head and dismiss unrealistic ideas.
Gu Qing transmitted his voice, "Ignore him."
"But."
"It's alright. If a mere humiliation could make one's Dao Heart perfect, then Chu Nan's Dao Heart would have been perfected long ago. Why would he have waited until now?"
“This…” Shi Jingqiong’s beautiful eyes seemed to be deep in thought.
"If I'm not mistaken, humiliation is only one aspect. The most important thing is that you must fall in love with him and endure the pain of love before you can achieve the perfection of your Dao heart."
Gu Qing was seriously trying to fool him.
"You mean, he still has to overcome a love tribulation?" Shi Jingqiong's pupils dilated in shock.
“That’s right, so you can’t interfere with him, you can’t give him any kind looks, so that his Dao heart can never be perfected,” Gu Qing transmitted his voice.
Having been deceived to this point, Gu Qing could easily spout lies.
"I understand!" Shi Jingqiong nodded emphatically.
I breathed a huge sigh of relief.
As long as Chu Nan doesn't achieve perfect Dao Heart so easily, the Shi family will be safe once Gu Qing grows up.
Gu Qing pondered for a moment, then asked curiously, "Don't you feel anything for him? He's a Celestial King."
Upon hearing this, Shi Jingqiong rolled her eyes.
Her beautiful eyes couldn't help but glance at Chu Nan, who was as humble as a dog, and then at Gu Qing.
Gu Qing's aloof and disdainful expression immediately came to mind.
Shi Jingqiong thought to himself, "Even if he were an Immortal Emperor, he wouldn't be as good as my brat's glance."
Chu Nan is nothing but a coward with cultivation but no talent to show for himself.
