His Highness the Crown Prince Always Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 596: How Shameless

Yu Qing Qian couldn’t resist rolling her eyes inwardly. How shameless did this woman have to be to say such a thing.

Gu Yan burst into laughter in the small pagoda, “Xiao Qing Qing, when you were cultivating yesterday, I used my heart energy to find information about the City Lord’s Mansion.

“This woman’s the City Lord’s most favourite wife. Even the two Elders at Spirit Sovereign have to yield a bit. She usually even likes to keep male concubines, I didn’t expect that she’d take a fancy to you.”

Yu Qing Qian’s forehead was filled with deep creases, “Can’t you see the disgust in her eyes? She probably doesn’t value me, the person, but the potions I have.”

The male she transformed into wasn’t ugly, but definitely couldn’t be considered handsome. He was the type that’d be drowned in the crowd.

There were many men in the Land of Imprisonment, and many handsome men, hence why this woman would be disgusted with her while also looking as if she was giving alms.

“This woman sure is hungry to sell her body for some potions.” Yu Qing Qian sighed.

“Women in the Land of Imprisonment are more valued and are held in the palm of men’s hands, that’s why they’re so arrogant and domineering. And this wife’s identity seems to be extraordinary, so she thinks it’s your honour to let you be her male concubine.” Gu Yan laughed gloatingly.

Yu Qing Qian said unhappily: “Master, that’s enough now.”

How could she have such an unscrupulous master? His disciple was about to be defiled by another woman, and he was gloating—he really was an immature old man.

“Haha, I just think that life’s pretty boring. Now that there’s some fun, it’s not bad to watch some excitement.” Gu Yan said with a smile.

The two were telepathically communicating, while the City Lord’s wife thought that Yu Qing Qian was considering it when she saw that she wasn’t saying anything.

“How about it? Come back with me obediently.”

Yu Qing Qian said with a strange look: “You’re blatantly making the City Lord wear a green hat, and he can bear it?”

Everyone gasped deeply when they heard Yu Qing Qian’s words. This kid was really bold, to dare say such a thing.

After capturing him and returning, the madam didn’t even need to torture him, the City Lord would probably peel a layer of his skin off.

It was no secret that the City Lord’s wife kept male concubines. The City Lord pretended to be deaf and dumb to it because she was a woman with a strong background. This was the first time someone dared to speak out directly.

Moreover, in the Land of Imprisonment, women were scarce, and it wasn’t uncommon for women of noble status to keep male concubines. No one present felt it was wrong.

The City Lord’s wife’s eyes turned cold, then laughed in anger, “Very good, I didn’t expect you to be so sharp-tongued. I’ll teach you a lesson on how to be obedient when we return.”

Yu Qing Qian felt that talking to this woman would lower her IQ.

“I’m not interested in being your male concubine, please leave.”

The City Lord’s wife narrowed her eyes, “Truly don’t know what’s best for you, you’re refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit¹.”

Then she waved to the nine Spirit Emperors behind her, “Capture him and take him back for a thorough interrogation.”

Hearing her words ‘thorough interrogation’, many people in the City Lord’s Mansion couldn’t help but cast sympathetic gazes on Yu Qing Qian—that meant all kinds of torture.

Yu Qing Qian was already in a bad mood from being interrupted from cultivating, but the other party even wanted to capture her for interrogation due to a disagreement—they were truly pushing their luck.

The nine Spirit Emperors didn’t all act. One of them darted right in front of Yu Qing Qian and stretched out his hand, wanting to grab her.

Suddenly, a giant python emerged from the ground and swallowed the Spirit Emperor right into its stomach.

“A demonic plant with the cultivation base of Spirit Emperor.” One of them shouted, “Everyone, together.”

Then the remaining eight Spirit Emperors attacked Yu Qing Qian one by one, attempting to capture her.

¹basically a form of threat said to someone with the intent of conveying the message that the person would have to do what they initially declined to do no matter what.
