Zhang Xiaotian grew anxious.
"Qing Ning, your life is what’s most important! Every second you spend with that beggar is a waste of it. Listen to me and divorce him right away!"
Madam Su chimed in, "Ning’er, your mother knows you must have a reason for marrying Lin Xiao. But whatever that reason is, I can’t lose you. Please, listen to me and divorce him. Your life is the most important thing."
Her mother’s words made Su Qingning’s heart sink. She had just experienced the pain of losing her mother, how could she possibly wish for her mother to feel that same anguish?
But she was already married. Although the marriage had been forced upon her, and she didn’t even like Lin Xiao, if she were to divorce him just to save her own life... perhaps Lin Xiao would understand, but she would never be able to respect herself.
Besides, the leader of the Immortal Doctor Sect had said that if she stayed with Lin Xiao, he would be the cause of her death within half a year. The family’s trial also had half a year left. I’ll wait until the trial is over to divorce him.
Zhang Xiaotian spoke again, "Qing Ning, tell me, is that stinking beggar threatening you? If so, I’ll deal with him right now! The Zhang Family might only be a second-tier family, but handling a piece of trash like him is more than easy for us. What’s more, my master is the leader of the Immortal Doctor Sect, and you know what that means."
Su Qingning simply shook her head. "You don’t have to persuade me. A divorce is impossible. If this is my fate, then I will accept it."
Her voice wasn’t loud, but it was firm and brooked no argument.
Zhang Xiaotian was so angry he felt like he could spit blood. He had thought he could easily manipulate Su Qingning with this, but she refused to budge. Unwilling to give up, he was about to continue when the imposter cut in coldly, "Miss Su, I suggest you think this over carefully. Let me be clear: this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Xiaotian, let’s go!"
Zhang Xiaotian was incredibly reluctant, but he could only follow his master out of the hospital ward.
"Master, why did we leave? If we threaten her with her mother one more time, she’s guaranteed to agree!"
The imposter sneered. "Idiot. Haven’t you realized the key to this whole affair is that beggar?"
Zhang Xiaotian was instantly furious. "Goddamnit! How can a beggar marry Su Qingning? It’s so infuriating! Master, what should we do?"
"It’s simple. As long as that beggar disappears from this world forever, the rest will be easy," the imposter said viciously.
Zhang Xiaotian’s eyes lit up. "Of course, Master! You’ve thought of everything. You’re right! Once we get rid of that beggar, I refuse to believe Su Qingning will dare to defy us!"
The imposter sneered again. "Kid, when we get our hands on Su Qingning, I get the first taste."
Zhang Xiaotian was shocked. "Master, you... you’re interested in Su Qingning, too?"
"Nonsense! That woman is drop-dead gorgeous, with a figure that could kill. Even I can’t resist!" the imposter said with a sinister laugh.
A wave of annoyance washed over Zhang Xiaotian. But his master was from the Ghost Medicine Sect; he didn’t dare offend him. Besides, if his master wants a taste, so be it. It’s not like she’ll lose a piece of flesh.
As this thought crossed his mind, Zhang Xiaotian put on a sly smile. "Master, actually, we could... enjoy her together!"
The imposter let out a malevolent laugh. "As expected of my good disciple, Peng Bo! Once this is done, I’ll bring you into our Ghost Medicine Sect!"
Zhang Xiaotian was instantly thrilled. "Right, Master, how did you know Su Qingning’s luck was being drained?"
"Because the Liu Family hired me to forge the Blood Droplet. That thing was designed specifically to absorb Su Qingning’s luck."
Zhang Xiaotian was startled and asked curiously, "Master, Su Qingning is already in such a pathetic state. Does she even have any luck left to speak of?"
"You don’t know shit! That girl is a bearer of immense fortune, the true Blood Phoenix Holy Body. Nine times out of ten, a woman with that physique is destined to become an empress. It’s not just about marrying her; if you could sleep with her even once, it would bring you incredible fortune."
Zhang Xiaotian’s heart trembled.
As the two were talking, a chilling voice suddenly reached their ears.
"So, you’re from the Ghost Medicine Sect." Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on Nove1Fire.net
The words had barely faded when Lin Xiao appeared before them.
The imposter, Peng Bo, broke into a sinister grin. "They say fools rush in where angels fear to tread. You refused the path to heaven and chose to barge straight into hell. Boy, since you’ve heard everything, today I’ll be the one to send you there!"
