Chapter 116: Ten Direction Gate (I)

Unexpectedly, the beautiful woman pursed her lips, stammered for a moment, and replied timidly: "...My husband is the most handsome."

Huai Gu sneered when he heard this.

What the hell, he just doesn't believe it.

-

The water was rippling, and flames were jumping in the darkness, interweaving together, making crackling sounds. Xu Shanshan stepped on the black python's head and glanced coldly at the dozen or so rescue boats in front of him.

They were grinning like demons, taking out bamboo poles and beating the men and women who emerged from the water, not allowing them to get on the boat.

The guests who had just been rescued onto the boat and had not even had a chance to breathe, did not repent and mend their ways after the shock, but instead continued to vent their anger.

They hated Xu Shanshan's previous teasing and humiliation, and also hated their own embarrassment and the Jinyinlou, so they vented their resentment on the prostitutes and male prostitutes who were in the same predicament.

There were limited spaces on the boat, and a limited number of people to rescue, so they felt like they had lost face even if they had to squeeze in.

Seeing people about to drown, they showed their joy and satisfaction, as if they had finally regained control of the supreme power over life and death.

The people who indulged in feasting and reveling in pleasure wanted to stop them. After all, these people were their "property" and it would be a pity to see them die in vain. However, the guests bought off their life and death with money and would not stop until they saw them die here.

This was somewhat due to venting one's anger on others, and since such a huge accident and casualties had occurred in the Gold and Silver Building, they knew they were in the wrong, and they dared not retort, and just wanted to keep the peace.

"You will never repent."

Xu Shanshan's eyes were cold, like a cold pond in late autumn, without a trace of warmth.

She put her ten fingers together, formed a seal and then drew a "net line". Once the longitude and latitude lines of the "net line" came out, it was like a straight and sharp string, cutting through the air quickly, and all objects in the same parallel position with it were split in two.

The water in the lake became darker and more turbid, and a strong smell of blood wafted around.

"Ah-"

"Plop", half of an object fell into the lake, splashing water. The rows of torches were reduced to half of wood. In the darkness of the lake, on the quiet boat drifting slowly, the figure who was originally standing tall was cut off from the waist, with the lower body still on the boat and the upper body having fallen into the lake.

The scene was simply horrifying.

The blood-stained "net" was spread on the surface of the lake. Xu Shanshan looked over and finally found a spot on it. He stretched out his arm and pulled a dripping beauty into his arms.

He had sunk into the water, and when he came out of the water he hadn't reacted yet. His pretty pale and dazed face had turned a little blue and purple due to lack of oxygen.

With her face raised up, her long wet hair winding across her face, her lips half-opened, revealing a pair of black, clear and cold eyes immersed in water.

Xu Shanshan found this face from his memory. It was Nangong Yu, the prostitute that Xu Shanshan had spent a huge sum of money to keep.

Nangong Yu obviously did not recognize Xu Shanshan. There was still fear in his eyes and he kept coughing due to choking.

"G-girl..."

Before he could finish his words, the weak and helpless man fainted on her shoulder.

Xu Shanshan put him down and returned the same way, stepping on the black python's head.

-

"Goddess, you are finally back. I was so worried about you. You...put him down as soon as you rescue him. His wife is here and she will take good care of him." Huai Gu pulled Nangong Yu away and pushed him to the beautiful woman, but he obviously didn't know how heavy an unconscious adult man was. At least, it was definitely not something a petite woman could support.

So, the couple fell to the ground hugging each other.

Huai Gu looked at Xu Shanshan with a guilty conscience, and was relieved when he saw that she was not angry or surprised.

"The debt between you and me is paid."

Xu Shanshan saw that the red "bond" between her and Chunsheng disappeared, and this sin was settled.

Back then, Chunsheng disguised herself as a man and worked as a servant for Nangong Yu. One time, Nangong Yu was humiliated by a customer and fell seriously ill. Everyone gave up on him, but Chunsheng had already fallen in love with Nangong Yu and refused to give up. Finally, Nangong Yu miraculously recovered.

From then on, Nangong Yu treated Chunsheng very differently, and the original owner was very jealous of Nangong Yu's close and gentle treatment of Chunsheng, so she deliberately spread rumors to the brothel owner, saying that Chunsheng's life character conflicted with the brothel owner's, and if she was kept, she would definitely lose money and hurt her life.

The madam didn't believe it at first, but the original owner found a few thugs to cause trouble, and they would deliberately smash things from time to time. After a long time, the madam would inevitably develop a rift with Chunsheng.

In order to stay with Nangong Yu, Chunsheng found a way to find the gangsters, used himself as bait, and reported to the police to have them arrested.

Although these people were finally arrested, Chunsheng's spleen was ruptured by their kicks, and she vomited blood continuously. Fortunately, Nangong Yu gave up all his savings and invited a famous doctor to treat her, thus saving her life.

The beautiful woman Chunsheng was confused when she heard this, but she didn't have the mind to guess what the other party meant at this moment. She just held Nangong Yu's face with heartache and nervousness, and carefully checked his condition.

Xu Shanshan looked at Nangong Yu again, and really didn't understand. He had obviously cheated "Xu Shanshan" out of so much money, and lied to her and concealed the truth, so why did "Xu Shanshan" still owe him a debt?
Now people haven't woken up yet, and this confusing account is still there.

But Xu Shanshan didn't have time to slowly recall the past entanglement between the original owner and Nangong Yu. She said, "The Shifang Sect in the Ghost Market has sent people over. You'd better stay away."

When Chunsheng heard the word "Shifang Sect", he shuddered immediately.

The Shifang Sect is responsible for handling all troublesome matters in the Ghost Market, including revenge, disturbances, and any situation that is unfavorable to the Ghost Market.

Their methods are extremely cruel and brutal, and their interests are aligned with those of the Ghost Market. Once a runaway slave is found and recaptured, he will be subjected to terrible punishment.

"I, I can't, I can't take him away." Chunsheng cried anxiously, "Goddess, since you helped me save my husband, please be kind and take us away."

Huai Gu watched Chun Sheng's sorrowful and pitiful appearance for a while, and then followed suit, with a cloud of worry lingering between his dark brows, and said pitifully and helplessly: "She can't do it, and I can't do it either..."

Xu Shanshan waved towards the darkness, and a black panther jumped out. It walked closer with light and graceful steps, and every step carried the majesty of a king.

hiss!
The beautiful woman Chunsheng's face turned pale with fright, and she subconsciously grabbed Nangong Yu's arm and hugged it to her chest.

"Leopard, leopard?"

Huai Gu cried out "Ah!" and tried to shrink his larger body behind the smaller Xu Shanshan. He patted his chest and said in shock, "It's so scary."

Chunsheng: "..."

I always feel that he would take one more look at her before every reaction. Is this an illusion?

"Are you sure you want to stay with me?"

Chunshan glanced at Nangong Yu and nodded vigorously.

Huai Gu naturally clung to her and refused to let go. He was behind her, relying on the fact that she couldn't see him. His eyes were serious but also filled with a terrifying resentment and obsession: "Of course, I have sworn that I will never go anywhere else except to the side of the goddess in this life."
