Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword
Chapter 311 - 299 Punishment (3/3)

Chapter 311: Chapter 299 Punishment (3/3)

Zhang Goudan, a native of Zhang Family Village, lost his parents early and is now fifty-six years old. He remains an old bachelor who has never held down a proper job and frequently peeps at young ladies and young wives bathing and nursing. As a result, he has been beaten up more than once.

So poor that all he had left was a straw mat, even widows were unwilling to marry him. It seemed he was destined to remain a bachelor for life.

However, today Zhang Goudan was overjoyed, his wrinkled face blossoming into a grin.

Because he was getting married!

Not only was he getting a wife, but the woman was also incomparably beautiful, unimaginably more so than the village beauty Cui Hua. Now this stunning beauty was about to become his wife, which made Zhang Goudan drool just thinking about it.

There was just one strange thing: his brother-in-law wouldn’t let him invite anyone from the village to the wedding. But that was fine too; after all, he had no money for such an occasion.

Why would such a beautiful woman be willing to marry him? Zhang Goudan didn’t care at all. All he knew was that if she dared to go back on her word, he wouldn’t be a pushover. For such a gorgeous woman, he was ready to risk his life!

"Big brother-in-law!" Zhang Goudan looked at Zhou Heng with a fawning gaze, "Is it about time to hold the ceremony?"

Zhou Heng chuckled and nodded his head, saying, "It’s time!"

Gu Lingfei was staring at Zhou Heng with an ominous glare as if she wanted to devour him alive. Not only was her Spiritual Power sealed, but her movements were completely restricted. According to Zhou Heng, she had been ill since childhood and completely paralyzed, otherwise how could she possibly have ended up with Zhang Goudan, the old bachelor?

This damned guy!

Though unable to speak, Gu Lingfei’s eyes seemed to spit fire. This man was actually forcing her to marry an old scoundrel. What an utterly humiliating disgrace!

Zhou Heng took on all the roles himself: the bride’s witness, the groom’s witness, even the matchmaker, as he presided over the wedding ceremony for the couple and sent them into the nuptial chamber.

"Zhou Heng, you bastard!" Gu Lingfei suddenly cursed out loud.

It was only when she uttered these words that she realized she could speak again, yet her body remained limp and weak, unable to move even a finger.

She glared at Zhang Goudan and shouted, "You lowlife, get away from This Seat!"

"Stinking woman, getting all high and mighty!" Zhang Goudan was not a good sort and immediately slapped her, "I’m now your man! Heh heh heh, my wife, it’s getting late, time for bed!"

"How dare you!" Gu Lingfei rebuked coldly, "This Seat is from the East... Get out right now!" She intended to reveal her identity, but then thought how shameful it would be for an important figure from the East Spirit Immortal Pond to be forced into marriage by a scoundrel!

Although her Spiritual Power was sealed, her presence was still as formidable as a tiger’s. Her sharp command frightened Zhang Goudan into involuntary steps backward.

"Pretty lady, you might as well save your energy for the bed!" But presence alone is just that, and Zhang Goudan quickly recovered, salaciously remarking while drooling, "A beauty like Gu Lingfei, I’ve only seen in dreams, like a fairy."

As he approached step by step, Gu Lingfei was so panicked that tears streamed down her face. Could it be that she, an Expert of the Spirit Sea Realm, would lose her virtue to a dirty, slovenly scoundrel?

Intense hatred and utter despair filled her!

She finally experienced the misery of being forced into marriage, but she hadn’t the slightest intention of self-reflection, because she convinced herself it was all for the sake of considering An Yumei and the other two ladies - even though it now proved that the Wu brothers were nothing but beasts in human clothing!

But Zhou Heng, he was purely taking revenge on her!

Was she really going to lose her virtue to this pig of a man?

Gu Lingfei felt like she was going insane. If such trash were to enter her body, even if she cut him into a thousand, ten thousand pieces, it would be hard to wash away the stain of this disgrace!

"This Seat can offer you unimaginable wealth—" Gu Lingfei changed to a tempting tone.

"My beauty, do you really think I’m a fool? As soon as you become mine, everything about you is mine!" laughed Zhang Goudan even more lasciviously as he began stripping off his clothes one by one, his eyes riveted on Gu Lingfei’s ample chest, drooling all the while.

Gu Lingfei thought, as soon as I regain my Spiritual Power, I will tear you to shreds! But threats were useless now. The scoundrel before her was blinded by lust, only thinking of that act. How could she frighten him with mere words?

Despite her despair, the sight of Zhang Goudan stripping down to just his underpants, his skin black and scrawny, and even emitting a strong odor, made her unable to restrain herself and she called out, "Zhou Heng, save This Seat quickly!"

There was no response.

Zhang Goudan continued to undress, leering as he said, "My beauty, keep screaming, later on, I’ll make you scream all the way to heaven!"

Seeing his repulsive thing swinging to and fro, Gu Lingfei quickly closed her eyes and screamed, "Zhou Heng, I give up, save me! Save me!" She completely surrendered.

"Heh heh heh!" Zhang Goudan pounced, "My beauty, let’s get to bed!"

Slap, he hit the bed but ended up hugging nothing as there was no beauty on the bed – it was completely empty. He rubbed his eyes, but still saw nothing around him. He went to the outer room, and there was no sign of the "big brother-in-law." It seemed like everything had been just his fantasy, just a dream.

Miles away, Zhou Heng casually lifted the Restriction on Gu Lingfei.

"I’m going to kill you!" Gu Lingfei swung her palm towards Zhou Heng, she had just barely been defiled by a shameless nobody and was naturally furious to the extreme, no longer caring that her strength was already inferior to Zhou Heng’s.

Slap!

Zhou Heng countered with a slap of his own, and amidst the crisp sound, Gu Lingfei was whipped around several times on the spot, her cheek immediately swelling up. She hadn’t recovered when slap after slap continued to rain down on her, causing her entire face to swell up significantly. Her disheveled appearance bore a grimace, devoid of any trace of her usual noble grace.

"Old witch, you know shame?" he sneered, "Isn’t this how you forced Yaoxiang and Yumei to marry the Wu brothers, a pair of beasts worse than dogs?"

Gu Lingfei was at a loss for words; she indeed had not expected that the brothers would be so shamelessly vile, but she would never admit all this in front of Zhou Heng. She always believed her intentions were good, it was for the sake of Lin Fuxiang and the other two girls!

And Zhou Heng was just seeking revenge on her!

"If it wasn’t for Yaoxiang and the others’ sake, I wouldn’t have stepped in to stop you just now!" Zhou Heng sneered, "Let this matter end here. If you try to stir up trouble again, then you will indeed become Mrs. Zhang Goudan, understand?"

Gu Lingfei clenched her fists tightly, shaking all over with rage, but as a Spiritual Sea Realm expert, she knew what a difference in strength meant and swallowed all her grievances in silence.

This matter couldn’t possibly end like this; she would certainly call upon a senior from East Spirit Immortal Pond to kill this bastard!

"Get lost!" Zhou Heng waved his hand dismissively.

Gu Lingfei left with hatred, her figure leaping up and disappearing in an instant, overwhelmed by intense hatred and humiliation, she didn’t doubt how Zhou Heng had managed to take her away from East Spirit Mountain.

Zhou Heng had Lin Fuxiang and the others not see off Gu Lingfei, to avoid further complications, and there was no loss in such a master not taking disciples anyway.

His next stop was the Shangtian Martial Pavilion. After so many twists and turns, he was finally about to set foot in this place where the geniuses of the entire human Imperial Dynasty gathered, to meet those who thought themselves unrivaled.

All the women had come out of the Nine Mystic Trial Tower. Even Mei Yixiang had never been to Heavenly Dragon Empire. They admired the beautiful scenery along the way, chatting and heading towards the Imperial Capital, Linhua City.

The Shangtian Martial Pavilion was situated in Linhua City, roughly a month’s journey from East Spirit Mountain.

On a sunny afternoon, Zhou Heng and his companions finally entered this most ancient of human cities. Majestic and spectacular, it looked from afar like a giant dragon lying in wait, ready to leap up to the ninth heaven at any moment!

The group first found an inn to stay in, and naturally, the foodie Feng Lianqing led them by her nose to a restaurant that evening. After securing a private room, they began to feast heartily.

The big grey bear sat obediently; with two Spiritual Sea Realm experts present, it didn’t dare show any aggression, while Little Gold lay atop its head. Despite eating Moon Beads every day, the tiger cub never seemed to grow larger, leaving its breed a mystery.

Bang!

Midway through the meal, while everyone was giggling at Feng Lianqing’s shameless chattering, the room door was suddenly bashed open. A staggering man stumbled in, clearly not the server coming to deliver dishes.

The man was drunk, his face flushed red. Upon seeing so many stunning beauties inside, he paused, a look of intense amazement on his face, but he quickly smiled and said, "Sorry, sorry! I’m drunk and confused, got the wrong room!"

He backed out and closed the door politely behind him.

"Looks like trouble is brewing!" Han Yulian said with a slight smile, looking at Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng sighed. Having so many stunning women by his side was like walking through a bustling market with a brick of gold; it was impossible not to attract covetous glances. Unless he made a name for himself, recognized by everyone, then nobody would bother them anymore.

Knock knock knock, not much later, someone knocked on the room door politely, not barging in but knocking.

Everyone exchanged glances, sending a clear signal—trouble had indeed arrived.

"Come in!" Zhou Heng said indifferently. He didn’t mind starting a brawl on his first day at the Imperial Capital of the Heavenly Dragon Empire. After all, if he wasn’t fighting today, he’d inevitably be involved in a big battle within a few days upon reaching the Shangtian Martial Pavilion—or even several battles.

Creak, the door opened, and a proud young man in brocaded clothes entered, handsome and exuding an air of dominance.

"It’s you!"

Both Zhou Heng and the brocaded young man exclaimed in surprise upon clearly seeing each other’s faces.

The young man was none other than Mao Yuheng, who had fought with Zhou Heng in the Death Forest!

"Ha! Ha!" Mao Yuheng immediately let out a series of cold laughs, pointing his finger at Zhou Heng, "I didn’t expect you’d dare to come to the Imperial Capital. You’ve got some nerve!"

He had just been informed by his men that there were several unparalleled beauties in the next room. It was a jubilant occasion for him that day, and he had gathered a bunch of friends to celebrate. After getting carried away with drinks, he decided to take a look.

To his surprise, he encountered Zhou Heng!

"The Mao Family is based in Guangyuan City, and it seems like the Imperial Capital is not your turf. Why wouldn’t I dare to come?" Zhou Heng asked with a smile.

If the Mao Family and Shangtian Martial Pavilion were in the same place, then Zhou Heng would never have come to wade into this muddle. He was not yet qualified to contend with a power possessing Divine Infant Realm experts. (To be continued.
