Seeing her husband looking so desolate, Empress Dowager Wen felt a pain in her heart as if it were being sliced by a knife.
Her resentment towards Qin Xiao deepened.
"Husband! You are not in the wrong!"
She tightly grasped Emperor Qinwu's hand, her tone unwavering.
"Yu'er still has an army of half a million! Tomorrow, they will point their swords at the capital! That little beast Qin Xiao is only putting up a dying struggle now!"
"Everything he is doing is just to attract our attention and make us regret!"
"Otherwise, how could he have changed so quickly!"
Empress Dowager Wen spoke with absolute certainty, her tone filled with deep disdain.
In her eyes, the only reason Qin Xiao acted this way was to draw their gaze.
Because Qin Yu was about to return, Qin Xiao was scared!
Hearing this, a gleam of light finally returned to Emperor Qinwu's dead, silent eyes.
"Sigh, to survive, Qin Xiao truly resorts to extreme measures."
"Since he is my child, when Yu'er returns, having him bow and submit to Yu'er can be considered leaving him a way out."
Of course, the prerequisite was to cripple Qin Xiao's martial arts.
After all, who would want to keep a dangerous figure with peerless martial arts by their side?
Seeing that her husband seemed to be feeling better, Empress Dowager Wen lightly pounded Emperor Qinwu's chest with her fist and said coquettishly,
"Husband, I don't care what you do with Qin Xiao, but you absolutely cannot let Yu'er suffer any grievances."
"Although Yu'er is not our biological child, we have shared over twenty years of familial love with him."
Emperor Qinwu pulled Empress Dowager Wen into his embrace, his voice domineering as he spoke.
"That is only natural. Yu'er is our child, how could we let him suffer and be bullied by Qin Xiao."
When they said these words, they seemed to have forgotten.
Qin Xiao was also their child.
Not only had he been left wandering outside, but he had also suffered far more grievances and torment.
...
Meanwhile.
Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.
At this moment, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple was decorated with lanterns and colored banners, with red, festive lanterns hanging all over the courtyard.
Joyous expressions beamed on the faces of every monk.
They stood at the temple gates, eagerly looking forward.
Soon, a procession of large red carriages slowly drove into the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.
The group was dressed in magnificent attire, followed by thousands of guards clad in red.
Carriage after carriage of gold, silver, treasures, pearls, jades, precious stones, and fine silks—there were fully over a hundred carriages of dowry.
Holy Son Shen Han rode on a white horse, his face as pristine as jade, looking exceptionally dashing and handsome.
He wore a bright red wedding robe with a red silk belt tied around his waist. A smile graced his face, and his brows and eyes exuded the warmth of a spring breeze.
His attire today was particularly eye-catching, attracting the gazes of many young maidens and noblewomen.
On one side of the crowd, two people with their heads wrapped in bandages sighed in admiration.
"Eldest Sister is finally marrying her beloved Mr. Right."
Qin Ruyan's eyes shimmered with tears as she spoke excitedly.
"Yes, Eldest Sister has found her own happiness."
Qin Rumeng also nodded, her heart filled with gratification.
"Rumors say that Shen Han has a bad reputation. For someone as excellent and good-looking as him, it must be outsiders smearing his name."
The two of them let their morals follow his good looks, completely lacking any independent judgment.
Qin Ruyan seemed to remember someone. She spat on the ground and spoke viciously.
"It must be Qin Xiao's doing! He is jealous of Shen Han and thinks Shen Han stole Eldest Sister away, so he sent people to slander Shen Han in every possible way!"
"Qin Xiao deceived all of us! His heart is truly vicious!"
Just thinking of Qin Xiao made her face and her entire head throb with pain.
She would never forget how that violent maniac Qin Xiao had beaten her!
"When Yu'er returns, we must make Qin Xiao kneel on the ground and beg for mercy!"
Qin Rumeng said coldly, a venomous look in her eyes.
The two of them absolutely despised Qin Xiao!
While the two were hurling insults at Qin Xiao, Shen Han led the bride into the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.
They entered the main hall.
A golden statue of Buddha stood tall and imposing.
Shen Han stood side by side with the bride, Qin Rushuang.
He looked at Qin Rushuang, his Adam's apple bobbing as greed flared in his eyes.
Qin Rushuang seemed to notice Shen Han's gaze and lowered her head shyly.
"Husband, why are you looking at me like that?"
Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum.
Today, Qin Rushuang looked incredibly beautiful and enchanting.
Clad in a bright red phoenix robe, she appeared graceful, luxurious, noble, and elegant, the silhouette of her figure faintly visible.
A red veil covered her face, but looking closely, one could still see the shy demeanor of the beauty.
Especially those eyes, watery and expressive, as if they could speak.
Shen Han felt an unbearable itch in his heart as he looked.
His gaze stared unscrupulously at Qin Rushuang, and he gave a wicked smile.
"Rushuang, you are truly too beautiful!"
"This wedding has been my lifelong dream, and I have finally realized it!"
"Do you know? I can't wait to take you as my wife!"
Shen Han's tone carried a hint of suppression, as well as endless greed.
He looked just like a man who had obtained some rare, peerless treasure.
Back then, because of Qin Xiao's interference, he hadn't dared to cross the line by even half a step!
But now, Qin Xiao had actually personally ordered Qin Rushuang to be betrothed to him. This was a heaven-sent opportunity!
He had not a shred of love for Qin Rushuang.
All he had was a thirst for power.
He had coveted Qin Rushuang's physique for a long time.
"Once I dual-cultivate with Qin Rushuang, my strength will soar! Qin Xiao or whoever, no one will be my match!"
He thought secretly in his heart.
Hearing Shen Han's words, Qin Rushuang's cheeks turned slightly red, and she nodded with infinite shyness.
"Husband, I will follow all your arrangements."
The two officially began to bow to heaven and earth.
They knelt and bowed before the Buddha.
Just as the two were about to enter the bridal chamber, an old monk came running over in a hurry.
After the old monk leaned in and whispered a few words into Shen Han's ear.
Shen Han's expression visibly changed.
From his initial joy, his face became filled with ferocity, and murderous intent boiled in his eyes!
"Is what you say true?!"
He grabbed the old monk by the collar, staring at him intently with a gaze that looked ready to devour him.
The old monk's body trembled, and even his voice was a bit weak.
"Holy Son, this old monk dares not lie. It is absolutely true."
"Good! Very good!"
Shen Han released the old monk, his face gloomy, and chilling anger shot from his eyes!
He never expected Qin Xiao to actually make such a move!
Killing his disciples, wiping out the monk soldiers of his Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.
Even Prince Qi's biological father had been beheaded by Qin Xiao!
And now, Qin Xiao was on his way here leading an army!
What was he trying to do?
Could it be he wanted to annihilate the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple?
Shen Han was both shocked and furious!
"Qin Xiao!"
He clenched his fists tightly!
Qin Rushuang noticed his abnormality and asked softly.
"Husband, what's wrong? Did Qin Xiao do something again?"
"Please rest assured, husband. As long as I am here, he will absolutely not dare to make a move against you!"
Her tone carried a trace of dissatisfaction.
Today was her big wedding day; how could Qin Xiao still dare to act recklessly!
"When Qin Xiao arrives, I will make him kneel and apologize to my husband."
Facing Shen Han, Qin Rushuang's tone became as gentle as water again.
Shen Han looked at Qin Rushuang, a dark glint flashing in the depths of his eyes!
He raised his hand and beckoned for the old monk nearby to come over.
"Send down the order. Let the sacrifice begin!"
The old monk was taken aback. He stealthily glanced at Qin Rushuang, his Adam's apple bobbing subconsciously, and hurriedly bowed.
"As you command, Holy Son."
With that said, he hurriedly retreated with his people, as if a major event was about to happen.
"What sacrifice?"
Doubt welled up in Qin Rushuang's heart.
Weren't they supposed to enter the bridal chamber soon?
Why was there a sacrificial ritual?
Moreover... she acutely sensed a shift in the way the surrounding monks were looking at her.
Greedy, brazen, and completely unrestrained...
It made Qin Rushuang deeply uncomfortable.
She felt like a lamb thrown into a den of wolves, her heart pounding with profound unease.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
