Chapter 502: Chapter 506 Peerless in the World (18)

The first to intercept Su Li was a man with slicked-back hair and a powdered face.

He swayed a shiny golden folding fan, thinking himself quite dashing.

"Are you Miss Su?" The man scrutinized Su Li from head to toe and then concluded, "You look decent enough, but your body is too weak."

"You’d be suitable enough as a concubine, but definitely not as the main wife."

The man had weighed his decision for a while before stepping forward.

Dark circles under his eyes revealed his indulgent lifestyle; desperate for the finest women, he harbored crooked thoughts upon first laying eyes on Su Li.

Although everyone talked about how formidable the Lotus Saintess was, he did not believe it.

With his experience with countless women and a basic understanding of kung fu, he could still distinguish the differences between those trained in martial arts and noble ladies.

Moreover, the Su Family publicly declared that the Lady of the Su Family was unfilial and disrespectful; they disowned her, and her name was even struck off the family records.

A woman without the backing of a family was merely clay to be molded.

Such fools, blinded by lust, were ubiquitous.

It had been a long time since Su Li had seen such a commendably foolish man; she found him quite interesting to observe, almost like a curious specimen.

"Morally corrupt..."

"Yes, yes, even brothel workers aren’t as bold as her, daring to stare at a man like that, shameless..."

Most of the commentators, ironically, were women and young maidens.

Why must women trouble other women, especially when the harshest on women were women themselves?

Su Li coughed lightly and said, "You’ve got some nerve.... The last person who spoke to me like that realized his mistake, so I sent him to Hell to repent."

Facing the sickly beauty’s smile, which possessed no intimidation whatsoever, the man’s whole body chilled to the bone.

Still, mustering his courage, he said, "Just come with me quietly, suffer less physical pain, or else..."

Su Li said, "You’re irredeemable, utterly corrupt, so you might as well die...."

"The Buddha will accept your repentance and forgiveness."

As soon as Su Li finished her sentence, the man began to disappear from the feet upwards.

Unlike before, this time, thousands of spectators witnessed this eerie sight, terror-stricken to the extreme, unable to make any sound.

Everyone’s throats seemed clutched by an invisible hand, other than the quick breathing and heavy gasps, no sound could be heard in the outer courtyard.

Despite the bloody scene, the pain the man endured made his eyes bulge, and he could only emit a rough, wheezing noise; he couldn’t even scream for mercy.

Chen Hai, the only male grandson of the main Chen Family branch beloved by Mrs. Chen, had sadistic tendencies.

The boys and girls who died on his collapsing bed were too numerous to count on both hands.

Chen Hai never imagined he would die this way, nor did he expect to die at such a young age.

Had he truly known the sinister horror of the Lotus Saintess, he would never have dared to provoke her recklessly.

Truly, beneath the word ’lust’ hid a knife.

Feeling his organs being mysteriously pulled and gnawed within his body, the intense pain was unbearable; but that was nothing compared to the horror of watching his flesh and bones gradually disappear.

Yet, even until his last moment, his consciousness was crystal clear, acutely aware of death’s impending approach.

In the end, not even a single strand of hair remained of this Chen Family’s young master.

At last, someone understood why everyone who had met the Lotus Saintess kept silent repeatedly, why the Lotus Saintess had saved so many evildoers but still faced doubts about her authenticity.

First, the other party’s appearance was greatly deceptive; second, aside from those who had been rescued, all the evildoers who met the Saintess had died.

Moreover, the manner of their deaths was eerie and terrifying. Except for an immortal’s intervention, who else could achieve such a feat?

The Lotus Saintess hadn’t even moved a finger.

Her words followed by divine law truly showed she was the chosen one...

It was unclear who started it, "A Goddess, a true Goddess has come to the world..."

As the realization dawned on the common people, though they could barely control their fear, this shout seemed to give them a pillar of strength.

Amidst the loud clamor, everyone prostrated before Su Li’s feet, their foreheads touching the ground, no longer daring to look directly at her divine visage.

Su Li, with a meaningful look, glanced at a figure hiding among the crowd.

His appearance was plain, yet somewhat familiar.

It seemed he was the guard who had accompanied the young heir she had casually saved at Black Wind Mountain.

He indeed had a purpose.

The events in the front yard were yet unknown to those in the inner yard.

Within the monastery, several elegantly dressed Madams, along with a host of servants and old women, were sitting in wait.

A young monk, smiling cheerfully with his hands clasped, bowed to the ladies and apologized, "Master Wu Jin had a revelation today, so I will be attending to you Madams instead."

Mrs. Chen and Princess Zhen Nan both kindly responded, "It is alright... we appreciate your trouble."

As it was well known that Master Wu Jin did not easily meet worshippers except those he saw as predestined, hearing thus, Mrs. Chen and Princess Zhen Nan were not disappointed.

However, Princess Zheng’s response was a smirk and a nod, "He certainly places himself high, not even I can meet him now."

Among those present, Princess Zheng was the most noble. Hearing her words, Mrs. Chen and Princess Zhen Nan could only silently endure the awkwardness, pretending not to hear.

Unlike Mrs. Chen and Princess Zhen Nan, devout believers, Princess Zheng never believed in Gods and Buddhas.

"It is better to rely on oneself rather than pray to Gods and Buddhas."

Others might be unaware of the true nature of this Holy Temple, but she definitely knew.

Peel away its glittering exterior, and the rot inside was no less than anywhere else.

"Old Madam, it’s terrible... the Young Master..."

Young Master Chen’s servant stumbled in, panting heavily.

Mrs. Chen’s expression darkened as she scolded, "Panic-stricken, what a sight you present."

Turning around, she quickly apologized to Princess Zhen Nan and Princess Zheng, "You have been bothered by the household servants’ clamor..."

Princess Zheng casually waved her hand, "It’s fine, let’s first find out what happened."

Mrs. Chen had already intended to inquire, but due to the presence of the two princesses, she did not wish to overstep.

The moment her beloved grandson’s servant appeared here, she had an ominous premonition.

"The young master, the young master... he’s gone..."

The servant spoke incoherently, clearly terrified.

"What do you mean, ’gone’?"

"The young master showed disrespect to the Saintess and was struck by divine punishment... passed over... dead..."
