Chapter 522: Chapter 379: Those Who Deceive Me Shall Be Punished

Upon hearing these words, Yhan Qinrui stumbled back in panic, saved from losing her composure only by her maid’s timely support.

The words of Gu Changsheng were delivered with such nonchalance, carrying endless scorn and disdain!

Yhan Qinrui had been confident that Gu Changsheng was as good as dead, which was why she had been so fierce and fearless. But at this moment, faced with Gu Changsheng’s indifferent composure, her heart began to throb with sudden unease!

When your opponent doesn’t regard you as an opponent at all, there are only two possibilities: first, they know they cannot win and have given up resistance; second, they know you cannot win, and they don’t take you seriously at all!

Yhan Qinrui was no fool. The old wound on her arm seemed to flare up again, and the dread of that day passed over her heart, inciting an inexplicable fear!

"Gu... Gu Changsheng?" Yhan Qinrui asked with a trembling voice, her eyes filled with uncertainty.

No one could survive the Hateful Victory Curse! Yet now, Gu Changsheng was alive and well before her!

"What’s the matter? The heir’s wife seems quite surprised to see me?" Gu Changsheng, having finished applying ointment to his little bundle of joy, held his little hand and slowly walked to the doorway to stand, his lips curling with an indifferent smile, looking down on the woman before him from a superior position.

"It really is you! How can this be? This can’t be possible!" Yhan Qinrui stared at Gu Changsheng, now even more radiant in red than before, and shook her head in bewilderment.

Gu Changsheng glanced at her, his lips curving into a smile, "Ha ha... thought I was certainly doomed? That’s why you were so eager to come and see the fruits of your labor?"

As he spoke, Gu Changsheng’s eyes suddenly narrowed, a glint of sharpness passing through them as he lowered his voice and stared at Yhan Qinrui, speaking in a grave tone, "The Hateful Victory Curse, immensely sinister, is shunned by the Four Kingdoms. Yet, for the sake of eliminating me, you didn’t hesitate to engage in such evil acts. Yhan Qinrui, have you borrowed the guts from the heavens?"

At these words, Yhan Qinrui instantly stepped back again, her face a picture of panic as she denied, "No! I didn’t! Stop your malicious slandering, if you have any real evidence then present it!"

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng suddenly laughed, his laughter full of endless sarcasm, "Framing? Evidence?"

Gu Changsheng paused here, his aura suddenly spreading out, "I, Gu Changsheng, don’t act upon evidence, but upon my conscience! Why would I need to go to such lengths to frame you? Yhan Qinrui, you are really taking yourself too seriously!"

To frame and slander Yhan Qinrui?

Ha ha... She had neither the time nor the mood for that!

"So arrogant and conceited, you encourage your son to commit violence. You are guilty of the ’seven outs’, the son commits disrespect, utterly contrary to the laws. Everyone here is a witness; where do you get the audacity to be so domineering!"

As Yhan Qinrui was overwhelmed with confusion, a cold rebuke suddenly came from behind her.

Yhan Qinrui was jolted by the sound.

Gu Changsheng, standing in position, immediately narrowed his eyes into dangerous slits; the snake had finally left its lair!

Sure enough, a feeble old woman, supported by a young girl, walked slowly to Yhan Qinrui’s side. Her face was wrinkled with age, but her hair was strikingly black, with not a strand of grey...

This eerie appearance made Gu Changsheng’s hand tighten instinctively.

It was her!

She was the one behind the Hateful Victory Curse!

The Hateful Victory Curse was incredibly sinister in itself, an affront to the natural order and harmful to others. And the one who cast it would suffer the backfire even more!

Tan Nv had warned her about this! She had told her to be cautious of those with strange appearances!

"Nanny, why have you come out? You are not well, you should go back and rest in the carriage!" Upon seeing the old crone approaching, Yhan Qinrui immediately reached out to support her, showing genuine concern and care.

Gu Changsheng was taken aback and wanted to curse in frustration!

Damn it! What a joke this was!

The nurse of Huo Shuixian was the Futu Demoness, a Gu master from Miaojiang!

And here was Yhan Qinrui’s nanny, a witch from Bashu!

What was the rhythm of this? Was it no longer fashionable to rely on one’s father or husband, but rather to boast about one’s nanny?

Witch gu! Among the most mysterious things in the world, she had unfortunately encountered both, and almost with an ironic precision, those knowledgeable in these arts were also at enmity with her. What was going on?

Why couldn’t she encounter some normal human beings to have fun with?

She, Gu Changsheng, was an entirely normal person. It made no sense for the gods to arrange such abnormal bosses for her!

Gu Changsheng pulled the little bundle of joy behind her, facing the old crone with a wary expression, "So it’s you! Ha... guilty of the ’seven outs’? I, Gu Changsheng, am the Abandoned Wife, no longer bearing a husband’s name, so how could these ’seven outs’ apply to me?"

"My child Yaoyao has already been struck from the Li family’s genealogy, and the Household Registration Certificate is in my name; it has nothing to do with you. If you got hurt, it was through your own doing; how could it be called a monstrous disobedience?"

Gu Changsheng stared at the old woman with the wrinkled face, her eyes narrowing dangerously, "Furthermore, whether I am arrogant or domineering is not for a Bashu witch to decide!"

"As a witch, you are already rejected by society. Instead of finding a quiet corner to live out your days, you recklessly use witchcraft thinking you could take my life. Old Devout Woman, those who deceive me shall be annihilated, those who injure me will be destroyed! Today, I will make an example out of you with your life!"

The moment Gu Changsheng finished speaking, she lunged towards the witch!

"Ah!"

"Heh!"

Everything happened so swiftly, the onlookers only managed to catch an accusation before Lady Changsheng, having barely spoken a few words, and without clear intent, suddenly sprang into action!

She had to eliminate this old witch no matter what! Otherwise, there would be endless troubles!

Gu Changsheng’s heart held only this belief, so his attack was utterly merciless!

"Courting death!" Housekeeper Yan saw Gu Changsheng pounce and immediately drew his longsword, thrusting straight for Gu Changsheng’s face.

There must be an extraordinary master in the Gu residence, otherwise the eight great doors wouldn’t have been shattered in an instant!

But what of it? The one striking wasn’t that master, it was Gu Changsheng!

Even if Gu Changsheng’s aura was overwhelming, after all, she was only a woman in her twenties—how capable could she be?

Thus, Housekeeper Yan didn’t take Gu Changsheng seriously at all, with new grudges adding to old hatreds, his sword directly blocked Gu Changsheng’s path.

"A mere jumping clown!" Gu Changsheng coldly rebuked, her figure unceasing; she had only one target—that old witch!

The Inner Strength coursing through her body concentrated on her shoulder where Housekeeper Yan’s stab was directed. Gu Changsheng, in mid-air, curled her lips into a wicked smile.

The force of the ant is foolish to dream of shaking a tree!

Truly overestimating oneself!

Housekeeper Yan watched as his sword was about to strike Gu Changsheng’s shoulder, and joy flashed in the depths of his eyes, difficult to conceal!

However, at the next moment, just when the longsword touched Gu Changsheng’s shoulder, Housekeeper Yan’s joyful expression instantly turned rigid, his eyes filled with disbelief!

"Bang!"

Everyone only heard a loud noise, and Housekeeper Yan flew backward like an arrow released from a bow, while the pieces of his shattered longsword stabbed towards him!

"Uncle Yan!" Yhan Qinrui managed only to cry out in alarm!

The next instant was followed by several sounds of shards piercing flesh!

"Puh!" Housekeeper Yan, fallen to the ground, only had time to spit out a mouthful of blood, his body instantly shredded by the fragments of his own sword! His eyes widened with shock and disbelief as he gasped, "That master... that master is..."

But before he could finish his sentence, he spat out another mouthful of blood, and his body slumped to the side!

"Gasp!"

"Huh!"

The bystanders, who had originally watched Housekeeper Yan’s longsword strike Lady Changsheng, held their breath at their throats. However, the turn of events occurred so suddenly and unexpectedly that they stared in horror, incredulous and covering their mouths!

While everyone was in shock, Gu Changsheng already landed beside the old witch! Her five fingers turned into claws, directly lashing towards the witch’s neck!

The old witch narrowed her eyes, the wrinkles on her face trembling slightly. Her sleeve-concealed hand stirred!

Gu Changsheng, with his keen senses, immediately detected something amiss and swiftly delivered a kick!

In the blink of an eye, a human-shaped puppet unnoticed by the crowd flew straight into the Longevity Medical Building!

With her last reliance thrown aside, panic flashed in the old witch’s eyes, "You... you!"

"To this point, your heart still harbors malice towards me; indeed you deserve death!" Gu Changsheng’s hand had already seized the old witch’s neck, speaking out with a face full of anger!

She did not know what kind of ghostly thing the puppet she kicked away was, but instinctively, she knew it was something that could harm her!

"Gu Changsheng! Let go of my wet nurse!" Yhan Qinrui saw her own wet nurse being overpowered and immediately rushed over regardless of the consequences.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng waved her other hand dismissively, and in an instant, Yhan Qinrui and the maids and guards who rushed with her were swept aside!

Inner Strength! It truly defies the heavens!

It can actually be used like this!

At this moment, Gu Changsheng suddenly experienced a Sudden Enlightenment; the spring within her body was herself!

Water has no shape, it moves silently and formlessly, yet its force is as if tangible!

The old witch’s neck was gripped tight, her breathing stifled, and in a short while, her wrinkled face turned red, standing on tiptoes and gasping for air!

"Gu Changsheng, you dare to commit violence in the street! Where do you place the laws of the Great Zhou?" Lying on the ground, Yhan Qinrui shouted hoarsely!

Her wet nurse’s life was hanging by a thread!

If Gu Changsheng really did not care...

"Why would I not dare? You can harm me, but I can’t harm you? Is this the law of the Great Zhou? Or are you saying, because you are acting on the emperor’s orders, I should let myself be butchered without resistance?" Gu Changsheng glared coldly at the person on the ground and said sternly, "Yhan Qinrui, I, Gu Changsheng, am not someone you can command at will, nor will I sit and wait for death! Today, I will let you see whether I dare or not!"

As Gu Changsheng spoke, the strength in his hand gradually increased!

"You... with my life..." The old witch’s face turned red as she struggled to speak.

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s eyes flashed coldly, and the force in her hand suddenly intensified, "Since I have awakened, it means someone has roused me! I won’t let you recite the death curse! Go and repent before Yama Raja!"

"No! Don’t!" Yhan Qinrui, tears streaming down her face, clumsily crawled towards Gu Changsheng...
