Chapter 196 - Not Strong Enough
Chapter 196 Not Strong Enough
At the city gate, the checks were not strict. Xu Qiao and the others successfully entered the city.
The woman said in a low and muffled voice, “These Zhou women are so ugly. All of them have thin arms and legs, making them look so ugly. When that Su Wen sees me, he will definitely be infatuated.”
By the side, Tamu Chuan deeply agreed and nodded. “Isn’t that so… Zhou woman, it’s fine if you play with them occasionally, but why would you want to marry someone who can’t even carry a rock? What’s the point of having her?”
Xu Qiao gritted his teeth and said, “I’ve already told you! The Zhou people don’t like women the way you barbarians do! The Head Priest’s beauty trap is useless!”
Tumu Chuan said disdainfully, “What do you know? Sula is the most powerful woman in our tribe. Just her cultivation level is at the peak of 8th Grade Earth Rank. Look at her physique, her legs, and arms. How strong are they! Only then can she withstand more impact. Those Zhou women can’t even withstand a little bit of force, how can it be satisfying?”
Sula also smiled. “That’s right. As long as Su Wen gets intimate with me once, he’ll definitely fall in love with me!”
Xu Qiao covered his head in despair.
He didn’t know what to say. If these guys had used such a beauty trap to attack the city, Wu Kunhu would probably have surrendered long ago.
Just the image of it alone was too freaking scary.
But he could not explain it to these two.
In reality, he could not explain it to the High Priest either.
The High Priest seemed to be a wise man of the entire race, but even he was a prey of such an aesthetic…
He could only instruct Tamu Chuan, “Both our faces have been seen by the generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty. We must keep a low profile in the city. I only know some rough disguises, so don’t let anyone discover us. Otherwise, we will all die!”
“I know, I know! Oh, what’s that?”
When had Tamu Chuan ever got the chance to come to such a prosperous city?
Along with Sula, the duo looked like country bumpkins who had never seen the world before. It was novel to look here and there.
Xu Qiao sighed helplessly. He was supposed to bring Su Wen back to the Fire Barbarians Tribe these two big babies?
How the f**k was he supposed to do so?
In the palace, the Empress looked at the new Liang Zhu written by Su Wen!
Compared to the ending he wrote before, it was much gentler this time.
At the very least, when the readers saw Zhu Yingtai and Liang Shanbo transforming into butterflies, a trace of hope would arise in their hearts.
This was his only consolation for them.
At the very least, from the perspective of the readers, the two of them could be considered to be living together forever.
“This is great, it’s written too well!” The Empress wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said rather excitedly, “At the very least, the two of them couldn’t be together when they were alive, but after they died, they could fly away together. How sad and beautiful is this? Hurry up and copy it and send it to my sisters!”
However, with her actions, this version of Liang Zhu was unknowingly circulated outside the palace as well. Of course, Su Wen did not know what had transpired. At this moment he was sitting opposite Fei Chi.
Fei Chi stared at Su Wen without blinking, causing Su Wen to feel a little scared. He could not help but say, “Why are you looking for me? Let me tell you, don’t keep harping on this matter. If you get angry, I’ll beat you up!”
Fei Chi shook his head and looked at Su Wen before speaking in a solemn tone, “I didn’t expect your book to have such deep meaning. I was wrong to report you to His Majesty previously! I’m here to apologize to you!” “Harh?”
Su Wen looked at the fellow in front of him.
He frowned. “What do you mean?”
“I didn’t expect your novel to have such deep meaning! It was this old man that was blind!”
Fei Chi said seriously, “It is this old man’s life’s blessing to be able to write the foreword of this book! This old man wrote an afterword. If Lord Su does not think too lowly of me, please accept it as my apology!”
As he spoke, he placed a piece of paper on the table and stood up to bow deeply to Su Wen!
He then turned around and left.
Su Wen picked up the note on the table and saw only a single sentence.
Stories that caution the world, enough to pass down through the ages.
Su Wen was at a loss. Was there something wrong with his understanding of this world?
Although his Emotional Value was decreasing, Su Wen had been cooped up at home rewriting his book recently. He really did not know that these people had used that reading comprehension to completely distort his intentions.
In his opinion, this old fellow had changed too quickly instead. Furthermore, with that deliberate disgusting writing… How could he be worthy of these words?
Su Wen touched his chin. If this was released, he would definitely be scolded. However, they would probably scold this old man Fei Chi for being shameless.
If he did it for Emotional Value, then why did he do it?
Before he could figure it out, someone reported that Su Changqing had arrived.
When father and son met, Su Wen realized that Old Su was also very strange today… just like Fei Chi, he sat there without speaking and only stared at him.
Su Changqing’s gaze landed on the sentence on the table before he asked, “Did Fei Chi come as well?”
Su Wen nodded.
Su Changqing said, “Don’t blame him! Even I wronged you…” Su Wen: “????”
He was really speechless. “What wrong did you mistake me for committing?”
Su Changqing smiled and said, “I knew it. You’re willing to speak up for the commoners and advise Ji Yuchen. How could you do such a notorious thing for no reason! It turns out that you want to remind the world that aristocratic families cannot be left alone to fester. Even as your father, I didn’t see the deeper meaning in your book… It’s strange that I didn’t read it seriously! When I return today, I will definitely read it again.” Su Wen: “…”
What the hell was this! Why was his book now related to the aristocratic families?
Did these people drink some fake wine? Why were their words so nonsensical?
“Father… are you sick? Why don’t we find a doctor? I have a good relationship with the royal physician, Shen Qiu. I’ll find her to take a look at you,” Su Wen said seriously.
In his opinion, his father was just like that Fei Chi, abnormal!
He didn’t care if Fei Chi died or not, but he couldn’t let anything happen to his father.
Su Changqing also sensed Su Wen’s concern. He stood up and laughed loudly. “I’ve always seen you being mischievous in the past, but you’re a little cute today. You can do whatever you want! Father will protect you!” With that said, Old Su turned around and left!
However, his parting words which had no context at all only served to make Su Wen even more anxious. His figure blurred as he rushed towards Old Su!
He grabbed Su Changqing and said, “No! Father, I have to bring you to take a look!”
Su Changqing was stunned. “I’m not sick! Why do I need to see a physician?”
Su Wen said seriously, “No, you’re sick. You’re definitely sick!”
Right at this moment, a person suddenly appeared by Su Changqing’s side. Su Changqing berated, “Stand down, don’t attack my son!”
That person bowed and left!
Su Changqing sighed and said, “My son, are you suffering from hysteria?” “You’re the one who has hysteria!”
The father and son looked at each other like they were crazy… “I’ll bring you into the palace!” Su Wen finally said.
Su Changqing was helpless. “I’m really not sick!”
“You’ll know when you see it! Zhao Jin! Prepare the carriage!”
“I’m not going! Let go!” Su Changqing was also a little angry. “If you don’t let go, I’ll beat you up!”
Su Wen tilted his head to look at him and muttered, “Paranoia and mania? I have to enter the palace quickly! I’m sorry, Father!”
Peng!
Su Wen chopped out with his hand… and Su Changqing fainted.
Su Wen brought him into the carriage… and headed straight for the palace… to seek an audience with His Majesty.
The Prime Minister of the Great Zhou was forcefully abducted into the palace!
At this moment, Emperor Zhou had just finished reading Su Wen’s newly written Liang Zhu.
Just as he was reminiscing about the plot, someone suddenly came forward with a report! Su Wen was carrying Su Changqing outside the palace, seeking an audience.
What was going on between this father and son?
Emperor Zhou said, “Let them enter!”
Not long after, Su Wen rushed in while carrying Su Changqing. “Your Majesty! Your Majesty! It’s not good. My father is ill. Quickly let Doctor Shen take a look!”
When Su Wen saw the emperor, he hurriedly requested for him to allow the physician to diagnose him.
Emperor Zhou looked at Su Changqing and was a little puzzled. “What illness does Minister Su have? I see that his face is red and his aura is well-proportioned. He doesn’t look ill!”
“My father has hysteria! When he went to my place today, he was incoherent and said strange things! I finally knocked him unconscious before bringing him in. Your Majesty, this matter has to be resolved!”
Upon hearing Su Wen’s words, Emperor Zhou panicked!
He immediately said, “Quickly put him on my recliner and send a message! Get Shen Qiu here!” Su Wen hurriedly placed Su Changqing on the couch… Not long after, Shen Qiu arrived.
She first checked Su Changqing’s pulse and frowned. “He doesn’t seem to be sick?”
“Hysteria!” Su Wen said, “I think it looks like hysteria!”
Shen Qiu frowned and said, “Not really. Those with hysteria will definitely have their heartstrings messed up, but everything about your father is stable!”
As she spoke, she took out a golden needle and gently stabbed it into Su Changqing’s body. Su Changqing slowly woke up.
Looking at the roof… he was momentarily lost.
“Minister Su, are you feeling unwell anywhere?” Shen Qiu asked.
“My neck hurts… and I feel a little dizzy…” Su Changqing answered honestly.
Suddenly, he belatedly realized; wasn’t this the palace?
He looked sideways and saw Emperor Zhou and Su Wen looking at him…
He hurriedly got up and got off the dragon couch. He bowed and said, “This subject, Su Changqing, pays his respects to Your Majesty!”
Emperor Zhou looked at Su Wen suspiciously and said coldly, “Is your father suffering from hysteria? He seems to be very clear-headed…” “This…” Su Wen was a little embarrassed. He was not like that just now.
“Perhaps… it’s a misunderstanding!”
Su Changqing hurriedly pleaded, “Your Majesty, my son is concerned about my health and offended you. Please forgive him!”
“You may leave.” Emperor Zhou waved his hand.
He did not want to punish Su Wen. After all, he did not want to see anything happen to Su Changqing as well.
The father and son walked out of the palace. Su Wen asked curiously, “Why are you talking like this today?”
Su Changqing sighed and explained the interpretation of those students…
“Then why didn’t you say it clearly before leaving? You’re causing a misunderstanding!” Su Wen complained.
Su Changqing blushed at these words. In reality, he wanted to act cool in the end! He wanted to show off the suaveness of a father protecting his kid no matter what.
It was just that… he didn’t expect this to happen.
“Then why are you blaming me?” Old Su couldn’t hold it in anymore and rebuked angrily, “You didn’t even ask me yourself, simply rushing out and saying that I was sick… You even hit me so hard… It hurts…”
Su Wen chuckled in response.
Now that he thought about it, that chop… felt so good…
The father and son left the palace and went their separate ways!
At this moment, Su Wen finally understood why that old man Fei Chi had come to apologize to him!
“These people… had studied until their brains probably got fried…” Su Wen couldn’t help but complain.
“Let’s go, Zhao Jin, to the general’s residence!”
Su Wen planned to visit Wu Muyu, but he did not expect to see Wu Lie coming out the moment he reached the entrance of the general’s residence.
He laughed loudly. “Su Wen, why are you here?”
“Why are you in such a good mood?” Su Wen asked curiously.
“My mother! My mother gave birth to a younger brother!” Wu Lie said excitedly.
Su Wen noticed that something was wrong. “So your mother gave birth to a son… Why are you so happy?”
“Because there’s finally someone to take the beatings for me!” Wu Lie said excitedly. “Think about it. It was always Wu Muyu who caused trouble in the past, but my father always beat me up. Now that I have a younger brother, he can’t just beat me up, right?” Su Wen sighed and asked, “Is your younger brother going to be 20 years old when he comes out?”
Wu Lie stopped short. “What do you mean?”
Su Wen started to analyze for him. “Look… Now that your younger brother is born, he’ll usually be crying and making a fuss. What if your father gets tired of his antics? Since he’s only a child and Wu Kunhu can kill him with a finger, your father won’t dare to hit him, so you… you will take it in his stead…”
Wu Lie’s face darkened as he cried, “Then won’t I be beaten twice as much?”
“Congratulations, you got it right!”
At this moment, Su Wen heard the lively and joyous sound coming from the Wu family’s courtyard. He felt that it was not appropriate to enter at this time, so he said, “Alright, you can be sad yourself. I’m leaving.”
“How about you join me for a drink… I don’t want to go back…”
The originally happy Wu Lie had completely turned into a roasted eggplant at this moment, shriveled and wrinkly.
Su Wen could not help but feel sad for him. It was not a good thing when one’s father was too strong If Su Changqing had Wu Kunhu’s martial arts and temper…
Then Su Wen’s childhood would definitely become an educational history of blood and tears.
Seeing that his ‘brother-in-law’ was depressed, Su Wen naturally had to accompany him.
The two of them boarded the carriage and found a restaurant.
They started to drink heavily.
At this moment, a delicate little girl was walking on the streets of Great Zhou.
Except that her hair and eyes… were red.
It was Little Su Su…
I’ve been walking for a long time… Where is Daddy?” Su Su pouted.
She really couldn’t stand Ni Hongxiao anymore, so she took advantage of Ni Hongxiao’s carelessness and secretly ran out.
Unbeknownst to her, someone was already targeting her from behind.
A man and a woman, one of them whispered, “I’ve checked this girl out. She doesn’t have an adult by her side!”
“Let’s pretend to be her parents later!” “Alright! I’ll sell her to a broker or the brothel!”
The two of them slowly approached Su Su! “Aiya, daughter, why are you here?” As the woman spoke, she quickly rushed over.
The man also rushed over and said with a smile, “Come home with Father and Mother.”
The two of them were extremely fast, seemingly having some sort of martial arts background.
Bang!
Flames soared into the sky as it enveloped the two of them.
The couple continuously howled in the flames! Soon, there was no more sound.
The commoners had no idea what was going on.
They fled in fright.
Su Su tilted her head and looked at the two of them before smiling. “Evil intentions, burn!”
With that, the little girl continued down the street, aimlessly searching…
At this moment, someone appeared outside Su Wen’s house!
Dou Beiming!
He finally found Su Wen’s residence!
Dou Beiming fell into hesitation at this point.
After all, he was not a fool. Even if he wanted to save someone, he would not just send himself in for the slaughter.
“I have to think of a way to find out where Qianxun is imprisoned.”
In the past few days, he had gone to the Martial Inspectorate… the Secret Shadow Guard… He had walked around the various government offices and realized that he stood no chance there.
Hence, he turned his attention to Su Wen.
“That’s right, she should be here! But that guard of Su Wen seems to be very strong…”
Right at this moment, Dou Beiming suddenly felt an intense Sword Intent!
Chu He had broken through!
He had broken through to 6th Grade Earth Rank!
Dou Beiming was also a swordsman, and he couldn’t help but look towards the residence in shock!
“This sword intent is so pure! If it’s used in battle… I’m afraid it will be extremely powerful!”
However, his eyes immediately turned firm!
“Qianxun! I must find a chance to find you and save you!” Some men could risk their lives for love.
Dou Beiming was such a person. In the restaurant, Su Wen and Wu Lie sat opposite each other. Wu Lie drank cup after cup.
He was the perfect embodiment of sadness…
“Hey, don’t be sad. Let me give you an idea.”
Wu Lie shook his head and said, “What ideas can you have?”
“Move out? How simple is that? As long as you move out, won’t you be free from your father’s control?”
Wu Lie said with a bitter smile, “How can I move if I don’t get married?”
“Marry one. With your family background, it’s not difficult.” Wu Lie smiled bitterly when he heard this. He used to like Yan Luoying, but now he had no target. Who could he find?
At that moment, from afar, Xu Qiao looked at Tamu Chuan and the muscular girl Sula before saying, “If you want to use the beauty trap, go ahead and try…”
Well, Xu Qiao had already given up on struggling. Since they were willing to try, so be it. He knew it would definitely not succeed.
At this moment, Sula had already changed into a dress!
After entering the city, she specially looked for a tailor to make it…
She twisted her huge body as she walked towards the restaurant.
Wu Lie said to Su Wen, “It’s not difficult to find someone with my family background, but I want to find someone I like…”
Su Wen had no comment towards this… He only sneered. “What kind of woman do you want then?”
“I want someone who has some strength!” Wu Lie said through gritted teeth.
Suddenly, a tall figure blocked the sunlight shining down on them.
Su Wen and Wu Lie raised their heads at the same time and saw the tall Sula standing by the side. Her face was black and chubby as she squeezed out a smile. “Young Masters, can I sit down and eat with you?”
Wu Lie frowned and said, “What the f** k are you doing? Get lost!” Wu Lie could not be blamed for being hot-tempered. This fellow was already in a bad mood, so how could Wu Lie have a good expression when such a ferocious beast suddenly appeared?
Upon hearing this, Sula flew into a rage!
“Who are you talking to?” “I’m talking to you, you black pig!” How could Wu Lie care for her feelings? He rebuked angrily, “Why don’t you go take a piss and look at yourself in the reflection? You look like a black pig walking on two legs. Why did you even come to hit on this Grandpa?”
These words completely infuriated Sula!
Sula reached out and raised Wu Lie up!
She was already an 8th Grade Earth Rank cultivator. Wu Lie was caught off guard and was pulled up just like that!
Bang!
Wu Lie was ruthlessly slammed on the ground. Sula turned around and left! She also knew that she could not create any sort of conflict.
By the side, Su Wen was already doubled over with laughter!
He thought that this woman had taken a liking to Wu Lie. Furthermore, he could tell that Sula did not have any killing intent, so Su Wen did not stop her!
Wu Lie’s head was directly smashed through the floor…
“How is it? Is this strong enough for you?” Su Wen teased. “If you like it, I’ll help you get her no matter how much money you need!” Wu Lie stood up angrily. “I’m going to hack her to death!”
“She came over to hit on you. Who asked you to have such a sharp tongue?” Su Wen smiled and said, “She’s also a girl, why can’t you treat her like one?”
Wu Lie was unconvinced. “You call that thing a girl? She’s even more ferocious than me! If she tries to hit on you, I’m afraid you’ll kill her!” Su Wen had to admit that there was a possibility of what Wu Lie said! However, he still persuaded him on the surface. “Forget it, forget it… You’re not injured anyway, and she likes you… Forget it, but this woman’s skills are indeed extraordinary!”
At this moment, Su Wen saw a red-haired little girl coming up the stairs.
The moment he saw this girl, for some reason, he suddenly felt an extremely familiar feeling and had the urge to hug this little girl!
Just as he was wondering why he had such a feeling, he saw the little girl turn around. When she saw him, she shouted happily, “Daddy!”
