Chapter 361 My Mother-in-Law is Amazing
"cough!"
Shu Miaohua coughed lightly.
After reprimanding Chu Nan, she belatedly realized that Gu Qing was still there.
She is the esteemed seventh princess of the Qingyang Dynasty, and the gentle and virtuous matriarch of the Shi family.
Seeing such a fiery side of her made Shu Miaohua's face burn.
Shi Jingqiong snapped out of her daze and ended her telepathic communication with Gu Qing.
Looking at Gu Qing, who acted like a big shot, he just couldn't bring himself to say the word "guard".
Her beautiful eyes flickered, and she smiled, "Mother, this is a good friend I met in the Dawn and Twilight Sea, named Yu Qing, who has already attained the Dao of the Profound God!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qing looked at the pastries in her hand and a smile appeared on her lips.
"Yu Qing greets Madam Shu!"
He's completely incapable of doing the job of a guard.
Even if I can't be the female lead's bodyguard, being her friend is still pretty good.
Moreover, since he couldn't kill Chu Nan for the time being, Gu Qing didn't want to linger here any longer, as the Boundless Divine Sect still needed him to take charge of the overall situation.
He was also worried about whether Xi Ling could handle the Ziwei Dao Sect, so he had to go and take a look.
"Mystic God!?"
Shu Miaohua was shocked.
Her beautiful eyes quickly swept over Gu Qing; although he was wearing a mask, his heroic spirit was still undeniable.
He must not be very old.
She couldn't sense any signs of the vicissitudes of time in Gu Qing; instead, she felt a vibrant energy.
She looks much younger than her daughter.
Shu Miaohua racked her brains, wondering if there was such a peerless genius in the Immortal Realm. No!
“Yu Qing… Gu Qing Jiang Yu, could this be Gu Qing?” A bold guess arose in Shu Miaohua’s mind.
She glanced at Gu Qing's mask and thought it was almost certainly true.
Doesn't she know who Shi Jingqiong is?
I never bring people into my yard.
Even Chu Nan was stepping into this place for the first time.
Moreover, Shi Jingqiong even had her own maidservant serve her; apart from Gu Qing, she couldn't think of anyone else who received such an honor.
Thinking of this, Shu Miaohua was overjoyed.
Gu Qing has been praised by the ancestor and is destined to become a god-king, a figure unparalleled throughout history.
They have the potential to become Immortal Emperors, or even ascend to God Emperors while lying down.
Gu Qing actually took the initiative to come to her door; it seems he really has his eye on her daughter.
Thinking it over, Shu Miaohua suppressed her excitement and smiled, praising, "Young Master Qing's esteemed presence has brought honor to my humble abode. I hope you will take good care of me in the future."
"Madam Shu, you flatter me," Gu Qing replied, taking in the changes in Shu Miaohua's expression.
I feel like my true identity has already been figured out.
Without the protagonist's halo making her stupid, the female lead is too intelligent.
Gu Qing was somewhat puzzled.
But I don't care.
If he guessed it, he guessed it; perhaps it will be more beneficial for him to get things done.
[Detected that the Chosen One, Chu Nan, harbors malice 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.]
"Not bad, not bad at all. The protagonists who can devour the luck of others are all my good brothers." Gu Qing couldn't contain his joy.
It's too easy to plunder Chu Nan's fortune.
Gu Qing secretly communicated with the system: "Won't he notice if we plunder so much at once?"
[Chu Nan is proficient in the Great Dao of Heavenly Evolution. Even if he plunders only a small amount, he will notice. It's better to plunder back the maximum amount.]
"Yeah too!"
Gu Qing thought for a moment, then said, "I won't just plunder all his luck today, will I?"
No, he has the Fate-Reversing Bead to suppress his luck. Once it exceeds the limit, the Fate-Reversing Bead will automatically protect its owner and prevent the luck from leaking out.
"I see." Gu Qing's eyes flickered, her curiosity about the Reversal of Fate Bead growing stronger.
It can actively plunder the luck of others, including their destiny and talents, which is truly defying the heavens.
Gu Qingzhi was determined to obtain such a treasure.
"Turn off the broadcast sound."
【it is good! 】
Gu Qing glanced at him calmly, only to see that Chu Nan's eyes were icy cold and filled with murderous intent.
The two women followed Gu Qing's gaze and looked at Chu Nan at the same time.
Shu Miaohua was furious: "You bastard, what kind of look is that?"
At that moment, she was truly enraged.
Chu Nan wanted to be a good-for-nothing playboy, and her master's family could afford to support an idle person.
She tolerated Chu Nan's tarnishing of the Shi family's reputation.
But Chu Nan dared to show murderous intent towards Gu Qing, and she could no longer tolerate it.
Shu Miaohua took out a divorce agreement and said coldly, "Come here and sign the divorce agreement."
This wasn't the first time she'd tried to get the two of them to divorce, but before, Chu Nan was shameless and refused to divorce no matter how much she humiliated him, even making him bring her water to wash his feet.
In fact, she could have simply kicked Chu Nan out or even killed him.
Chu Nan's father, Chu Jingtian, was at the seventh level of the Profound God realm, but compared to the Shi family, he was still not strong enough.
However, she ultimately considered the past relationship between the two families and did not want to go too far.
"what?"
Upon hearing the word "divorce," Chu Nan panicked.
His grand plan is not yet complete, so divorce is absolutely out of the question now.
Moreover, for other men, serving a woman water to wash her feet is a great humiliation.
Chu Nan, however, was happy to enjoy it.
My mother-in-law is absolutely stunning.
"cough!"
Gu Qing coughed lightly.
It's impossible for the two of them to divorce, never in this lifetime, unless Chu Nan dies.
Gu Qing said slowly, "Madam Shu, although your son-in-law has offended me, there is no need for him to do this. If he is willing to kneel down and kowtow before me, then this matter can be dropped."
"This..." Shu Miaohua's eyes showed a look of doubt.
I don't understand what Gu Qing means by this.
Wouldn't it be better to restore Shi Jingqiong's freedom? That way, she wouldn't be criticized by outsiders.
"Mother, let's do as Yu Qing says!"
Shi Jingqiong made the final decision, looking at Chu Nan with a cold tone: "Kneel down and kowtow to admit your mistake, or get a divorce. Choose one."
Chu Nan's face flushed red.
In his view, being beaten by Zhong Yongjun was a family matter.
The thought of kowtowing and apologizing to Gu Qing, an outsider, was incredibly humiliating to him.
In particular, Gu Qing might also be eyeing his wife.
He couldn't bring himself to kneel and kowtow to his love rival's lover.
"Hurry up and get over here."
Shu Miaohua's sharp rebuke startled Chu Nan, causing him to tremble. All the humiliation and resentment in his heart vanished instantly.
Chu Nan had only one thought left: he absolutely could not be kicked out of the house by his mother-in-law.
"Bang bang bang!"
"I'm sorry, Young Master Qing, it was my fault."
Chu Nan kowtowed repeatedly.
Gu Qing's lips twitched. He glanced at Shu Miaohua, whose face was frosty yet noble and arrogant, and his heart was in turmoil.
He just wanted to test Chu Nan's patience; he never expected Chu Nan to actually kowtow and admit his mistake.
After all, Chu Nan is the chosen one.
Who would have thought that Chu Nan would kowtow first as a sign of respect?
Since that's the case, let's keep going until he finishes talking things out.
"Don't stop, keep kowtowing, keep kowtowing, slap yourself until Young Master Qing is satisfied."
Seeing that Gu Qing remained silent, Shu Miaohua assumed that Gu Qing was dissatisfied and scolded him angrily, feeling a surge of anger in her heart.
He thought to himself, "It's one thing for Chu Nan to be a good-for-nothing, but how come he has no manly backbone at all?"
He is, after all, the son of the Prince of Zhenbei, so why should he be so humble?
Leaving the Shi family will only make Chu Nan's life better.
"Clap clap clap!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Nan did as instructed.
His heart softened, and he felt that Shu Miaohua was incredibly adorable at that moment.
Her seemingly cold and heartless words were actually a way of saving him.
Chu Nan finally understood why Shu Miaohua, who was so concerned about saving face, wanted him to kowtow and admit his mistake to Gu Qing, an outsider.
It must be because Gu Qing has too much influence that Shu Miaohua is protecting him, and she has no choice but to compromise.
but……
Shu Miaohua will never know that he is not afraid of Gu Qing at all.
If he weren't afraid of revealing his identity, he could have killed Gu Qing, that pretty boy, with a single thought.
"My mother-in-law is amazing..." Gu Qing's eyes were full of admiration, and he admired Shu Miaohua to the point of prostration.
It must take incredible skill to train a chosen one to be more obedient than a dog.
Shu Miaohua definitely deserves a reward.
Thinking it over, Gu Qing took out two Heavenly Dao Fruits and pushed them in front of Shu Miaohua: "Madam Shu, this is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."
Putting everything else aside, a dowry still needs to be given.
It wasn't easy for Shu Miaohua to raise her daughter.
Moreover, due to Shu Miaohua's actions, Chu Nan's plundering of fortune never stopped, with fortune pouring in.
"A top-grade Dao Fruit!?" Shu Miaohua's beautiful eyes widened, and her voice broke down.
The Shi family is a noble Immortal King family, yet they don't even have a single high-grade Dao Fruit.
Some of them were also taken.
Gu Qing made two moves right away.
What an amazing son-in-law!
Shi Jingqiong's guards stared intently at the two Heavenly Dao Fruits, their eyes practically bulging out of their sockets, their breathing rapid.
This was their first time achieving enlightenment.
"Take it! It's just a mere Heavenly Dao Fruit; to me, it's nothing special."
Before Shu Miaohua could refuse, Gu Qing forcefully shoved it into Shu Miaohua's hand.
So hot… Shu Miaohua pulled her hand back as if she had been electrocuted when her jade-like hand touched Gu Qing’s hot hand.
She took a deep breath, suppressed the strange feeling in her heart, and quickly thanked him.
Gu Qing waved his hand, indicating that it was a trivial matter.
"Clap clap clap!"
Chu Nan was completely oblivious to the fact that his beloved mother-in-law was being taken advantage of, and was still vigorously slapping her.
What he was thinking about was who he should send to get rid of Gu Qing after Gu Qing left the Shi family.
They stole the Dao Fruit from Gu Qing.
"Alright, go outside and slap yourself. Don't get in my way."
Gu Qing waved his hand.
They could only plunder 30,000 units of luck before they couldn't plunder any more. Keeping Chu Nan here was simply an eyesore.
Chu Nan immediately stopped what he was doing, his face as ugly as if he had eaten several dead rats.
"Hurry up and thank Young Master Qing for sparing your life!" Shu Miaohua shouted angrily.
"Thank you, Young Master Xie, for sparing my life."
"Get out of here! All of you, get out of here!"
Shu Miaohua got up and left, giving the two enough space to be alone.
Shi Jingqiong immediately sat in Gu Qing's lap, wrapped her arms around Gu Qing's neck, and her beautiful eyes were full of gratitude.
"Thank you, little brother."
Shi Jingqiong was deeply moved.
The man she set her sights on was indeed different.
He was domineering and cold, yet extremely respectful of her, giving her ample face in front of outsiders.
"You're welcome, you got a share too."
Gu Qing handed her two Heavenly Dao Fruits and said, "I'm leaving now, but don't worry, with Chu Nan protecting you in secret, your Shi family will be fine. You should make good use of him."
"Are you going?"
Shi Jingqiong swallowed her words of refusal, her expression full of reluctance.
"Ok!"
Gu Qing hummed in agreement: "But before I leave, I want to finish eating the strawberry tips."
"Strawberry tips?"
"What strawberry tips? Hmm..."
……
Chu Nan, standing outside the door, dared not stop for even a moment.
Because Shu Miaohua was watching coldly from the side, he dared not not slap her.
only……
The moment Chu Nan lowered his head, his eyes were icy cold as he secretly vowed, "Yu Qing, if you dare to touch a single hair on my wife's head, I will kill you no matter where you go, from the highest heaven to the deepest hell."
The old man of a thousand machines, who was hiding in the shadows, was filled with rage when he saw his master suffer such a great humiliation.
He transmitted his voice, saying, "My lord, with just your command, the Shi family can be wiped out with a flick of the wrist. This foolish woman and..."
"shut up!"
Chu Nan was furious, his tone devoid of any emotion, and replied telepathically, "I don't want to hear you disrespect my mother-in-law again, otherwise... you know the consequences."
Upon hearing this, the Thousand Machine Elder shuddered, his expression shifted, and he let out a long, unwilling sigh.
"My lord, why are you doing this?"
"Hmph, you all just do your jobs. I'm going to play a grand game, with heaven and earth as the chessboard and all living beings as the pieces."
