Chapter 137 A great shame and humiliation
The middle-aged man held the bead tightly in both hands, his face filled with madness and ecstasy, as if the whole world consisted only of this incomparably precious treasure in his hands.
He stared wide-eyed at the bead, completely absorbed, without even a thought of searching for an exit.
Shen Qingyao, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it any longer. She stared at the middle-aged man intently, her eyes revealing obvious dissatisfaction.
In this life-or-death crisis, the man was only concerned with the broken bead and completely forgot about finding a way out!
She couldn't help but think to herself, "How could he be so foolish? Does he really think that if he gets the treasure, he'll be alive to enjoy the so-called power he's after?"
Shen Qingyao originally wanted to reprimand him, but then she thought that now was not the time to start a fight, so she suppressed her anger and swallowed all her dissatisfaction.
However, from that moment on, she became wary of the middle-aged man.
While continuing to search for clues that could lead them away from this place, she secretly observed the middle-aged man's every move out of the corner of her eye.
After all, this person came from that extremely mysterious Bliss Society, and no one knew what ulterior motives he had for infiltrating this place.
Therefore, Shen Qingyao had to be on guard at all times to prevent him from plotting against her.
Just then, an unexpected change occurred! Without warning, an extremely dense yin energy once again filled the air, and that eerie and cold aura instantly enveloped everyone.
Shen Qingyao's heart tightened, and she immediately stopped searching for clues. Her delicate brows furrowed, and she looked around warily, fearing that some danger might suddenly befall her.
"You audacious villains, how dare you so cruelly murder General Li! I will never let any of you go!"
With a furious shout, the woman's voice seemed to come from the netherworld, echoing throughout the entire tomb chamber and sending chills down one's spine.
At the same time, a chilling aura surged in like a tide, making the yin energy in the tomb chamber even more intense, almost suffocating people.
Shen Qingyao's heart tightened. She keenly sensed that the surrounding Yin energy was gradually condensing into a tangible form, and the intense killing intent contained within it was clearly perceptible.
It felt as if countless unseen hands were reaching out to them, and if they weren't careful, they would lose their lives.
Just as everyone was filled with fear and unease, a woman's figure suddenly appeared beside the stone coffin like a ghost.
She stood there quietly, her cold gaze fixed on Shen Qingyao and the others, as if she wanted to devour them alive.
This mysterious woman was the same person who was previously referred to as "Miss Wang".
At this moment, "Miss Wang" was still wearing a bright and eye-catching red wedding dress, but her appearance had undergone a complete transformation.
The previous face, which was pretty but not stunning, had vanished without a trace, replaced by a breathtakingly beautiful face inside the stone coffin.
Even her stunning beauty when she was asleep was enough to captivate anyone, but it paled in comparison to her lively and vibrant appearance now.
When Shen Qingyao's gaze fell upon that stunning face, her heart skipped a beat—just as she had expected, her previous guess was completely correct!
The instigator of that unusual farce of throwing an embroidered ball to choose a husband, "Miss Wang," was undoubtedly the Princess Hengyang mentioned by Secretary Chen.
Initially, perhaps because General Li, who had been completely consumed by the raging flames, suddenly appeared, Princess Hengyang secretly assumed that he possessed the terrifying ability to annihilate everyone in one fell swoop, so she remained hidden in the shadows and did not move her troops.
However, at this moment, as General Li turned to ashes in the flames, the mysterious Princess Hengyang could no longer contain herself and resolutely made her own appearance.
“Miss Wang… oh no! I should call you Princess Hengyang. You’ve finally decided to show yourself.”
Shen Qingyao stared directly at Princess Hengyang with her beautiful eyes without any fear, her eyes filled with a chilling coldness.
You should know that when faced with any demons or monsters, the more terrified and hesitant you are, the more arrogant and greedy they become.
As the direct descendant of the Taiqing Temple, Shen Qingyao would not show even the slightest fear, no matter how powerful the Princess Hengyang standing before her was.
Princess Hengyang stared wide-eyed at the seemingly reckless human before her, her eyes wide with disbelief.
As a princess, she was always an object of awe and respect, yet this person dared to so blatantly disregard her existence without showing even the slightest fear.
This unprecedented situation caused Princess Hengyang to feel a sense of surprise.
However, when her gaze inadvertently swept over Shen Qingyao, her eyes suddenly froze.
Immediately afterwards, she quickly turned her head and looked at Si Jingnian, who was standing to the side.
In that instant, Princess Hengyang's already cold expression suddenly became even more sinister and terrifying.
She pointed at the two of them, her anger barely contained, and shouted angrily:
"So you dare to commit such a despicable act on my territory! You are utterly lawless and outrageous! Today, I will make you all pay a terrible price for this, and leave your lives for me!"
At this moment, Princess Hengyang had already keenly noticed the huge changes in Shen Qingyao.
Her stunningly beautiful face was contorted with rage, making her look exceptionally ferocious and terrifying.
Princess Hengyang couldn't understand why she had been trapped in this dark and desolate place for over a thousand years.
She had finally found a man she liked—Si Jingnian—and thought that with her noble status and stunning beauty, she could easily win his heart.
Who would have thought that this man would not only reject her outright without any gratitude, but also flirt with other women and do such disgusting and despicable things in front of her.
Back in her lifetime, Princess Hengyang was a beloved and favored daughter of heaven.
She was always the one who was treated with utmost respect and flattery; no one would dare to show her the slightest disrespect, let alone openly defy her orders like this.
Those men who were fortunate enough to be chosen by her, which one of them didn't fall at her feet with gratitude and trepidation, doing everything in their power to please and flatter her?
Even now that she is dead, the many ghosts here are still obedient and submissive to her, obeying her commands without the slightest disobedience.
But now this man who suddenly barged in dares to reject her, ignore her, and despise her.
For Princess Hengyang, who had always lived a life of luxury and high status, this behavior was an unprecedented and humiliating disgrace!
As a princess of noble birth, she has always been the focus of attention, and wherever she goes, she is met with flattery and fawning.
Now someone is so bold as to openly disregard her existence, showing no regard for her supreme majesty and unquestionable authority.
This was undoubtedly a serious provocation against her dignity, and it crossed the line that she absolutely could not tolerate!
