Chapter 123 Husband and Wife?
Chapter 123 Husband and Wife?
Sure enough, in that instant, Miss Wang waved her hand lightly, and the crowd that had been standing aside watching the spectacle with great interest surged over like a tide, quickly surrounding Shen Qingyao and her group.
"Now that you have graced us with your presence, why rush to leave? Why not stay a few more days so that I can do my best to entertain you as your host?"
As they spoke, Miss Wang maintained a seemingly generous, graceful, and charming smile, but for some reason, Shen Qingyao and her group sensed a chilling and eerie aura emanating from her, as if a terrifying and grotesque face was hidden behind that smile.
Before everyone could react, those 'people' who had seemed normal just moments before suddenly changed their appearance as if controlled by some mysterious force.
Without warning, a deathly pallor appeared on each of their faces, their eyes vacant and lifeless, staring blankly at Shen Qingyao and the others trapped in the center, sending a chill down one's spine.
Faced with such a sudden turn of events, the group's faces turned deathly pale. Terrified, they instinctively huddled close to Shen Qingyao and Ruan Hongshuang, as if trying to draw even the slightest sense of security from these two women.
Unfortunately, at this moment, Shen Qingyao and Ruan Hongshuang were also struggling to protect themselves and had no time to care about the lives and safety of others.
Shen Qingyao held Si Jingnian tightly with her right hand, while her left hand kept pulling out yellow talismans from her bosom.
While rapidly making hand seals and chanting incantations, she hurled the talismans in her hand at the approaching ghosts.
Any ghost that gets even slightly close to her will let out a shrill scream the moment it touches the talisman, and then turn into a wisp of green smoke and disappear without a trace, as if its soul has been scattered.
However, unexpectedly, the ghosts that surrounded them came in an endless stream, like a tidal wave.
They were all ferocious-looking, baring their teeth and claws, and seemed poised to use a strategy of attrition to wear down Shen Qingyao and the others.
Seeing this scene, Shen Qingyao was extremely anxious, and cold sweat poured down her forehead like a fountain.
Her eyes widened, her brows furrowed, and her mind raced as she desperately tried to think of a way to escape her current predicament.
Just then, Shen Qingyao suddenly turned around, let out a delicate shout, and with a wave of her palm, instantly annihilated a ghost that pounced on her.
Then, she raised her head, her gaze sharp as she looked towards the attic, and shouted in a mocking tone:
"It is said that women in ancient times valued their reputation and chastity the most, but it seems that this is not the case now! A rich family's daughter actually had an affair with another woman's husband. Such behavior is truly despicable!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Miss Wang, who was standing on the attic, changed her expression slightly, clearly angered by Shen Qingyao's words.
With a gentle wave of her hand, the numerous ghosts that had been aggressively attacking her retreated as if they had received some kind of command, and quickly gathered back in front of the pavilion.
In the blink of an eye, the appearance and demeanor of these ghosts underwent a dramatic transformation.
They were no longer as terrifying and ugly as before, but gradually returned to the appearance of normal people. Some had beautiful faces, and some had kind eyes. They showed no trace of the ferocious and terrifying appearance they had just had.
Seeing this amazing scene before her, Shen Qingyao couldn't help but be a little astonished.
If it weren't for the fact that her group had indeed lost several teammates in this fierce battle, she probably would have thought that the thrilling scenes she had experienced were just an illusion.
In the blink of an eye, Miss Wang appeared in front of Shen Qingyao. Her speed was astonishing.
Upon seeing this scene, Shen Qingyao's heart skipped a beat, and she exclaimed inwardly in amazement:
This female ghost's cultivation was so profound that even someone with her considerable cultivation level couldn't detect her movements.
If they were to actually fight, even if she and Ruan Hongshuang joined forces, they would probably find it difficult to defeat this formidable opponent.
"What did you say? Someone else's husband? How dare you claim he's your husband?"
Miss Wang suddenly leaned forward and moved closer to Shen Qingyao, their faces almost touching.
Her once beautiful eyes now flashed with mockery and intense killing intent, sending chills down one's spine.
At the same time, the words that came out of her mouth were extremely cold, as if every word was formed from a chilling aura, like an incomparably sharp blade, constantly scraping against Shen Qingyao's delicate cheeks.
Seeing that Miss Wang was aggressively approaching Shen Qingyao, Ruan Hongshuang, who was standing to the side, was about to help without hesitation.
However, just as she was about to make a move, Shen Qingyao quickly stopped her with a look. Shen Qingyao knew very well that with Ruan Hongshuang's current strength, she was no match for this Miss Wang.
In this situation, allowing Nguyen Hong Thuong to act impulsively would not only fail to resolve the predicament but could also worsen the situation.
Shen Qingyao took a deep breath and pinched her palm hard, trying to dispel the fear she felt for Miss Wang through the pain.
Then, without flinching, she raised her head, met Miss Wang's threatening gaze directly, and said firmly:
"That's right! He is my husband."
This was the first time Si Jingnian had looked at Miss Wang so intently.
In his narrow eyes, besides deep apprehension, there was only a chilling coldness as sharp as frost.
He parted his thin lips slightly and said slowly, "She is right. I am her husband, and she is naturally my wife. We are husband and wife in a proper and legitimate relationship."
Si Jingnian's deep and magnetic voice seemed to possess a certain magic, instantly attracting Miss Wang's full attention.
Her eyes, which already held a slightly provocative quality, were once again fixed on Si Jingnian, but this time, there was an added hint of wanton teasing in them.
Miss Wang first tilted her head back and let out a series of clear and loud laughs, which echoed in the air like silver bells.
However, just moments later, the smile on her face was instantly extinguished as if by a sudden gust of cold wind, replaced by a chilling and gloomy expression.
Then, in an extremely sarcastic tone, she said:
"Husband? Husband and wife? Hahahaha... How utterly ridiculous! Do you really think I'm such a fool? You two are clearly still virgins, yet you dare to shamelessly claim to be husband and wife? Hmph, if you want to fool me, at least come up with an excuse that I can believe!"
These blunt words caused both Shen Qingyao and Si Jingnian to blush with embarrassment.
Their gazes began to dart around, as if they wanted to avoid the questioning and mocking looks from the other party and Miss Wang.
