Chapter 22: He is pure and unselfish? Shanglu, I have never been that…

(Twenty-two)

child.

Before getting married, Li Shanglu had imagined that one day he would have a child. She was born because her parents had given birth to a child. This is how everyone in the world is born: getting married, getting pregnant, giving birth, raising the child, and so on.

Perhaps it was because her parents had a very good relationship, and their family was harmonious and they never quarreled. She had seen this since she was a child, so she was not opposed to the idea of ​​getting married and having children.

However, Li Shanglu envisioned her life as marrying a man who was independent-minded, humorous, responsible, able to earn money to support the family, and able to protect his wife and children, just like her father.

She admires strong men, and only such men are worthy of giving birth to her children.

But what about Chen Changyi?

If her parents had not died of illness that year and she had not married him for survival, Li Shanglu would never have thought of giving birth to a child for Shen Changyi.

In her opinion, Shen Changyi was too soft-hearted. He had no opinions of his own in front of her and didn't even dare to talk back after being scolded. How could he be a good role model for her children?

We can live together, but he is not suitable to be a father.

But if others heard this, they would accuse her of being unsatisfied and wanting too much.

Li Shanglu didn't care what others thought. Anyway, her parents in heaven would never blame her for this. They would just let her do what she wanted.

She doesn't want this child.

"You're pregnant, with whom?"

Helan Jin forced a smile and said, "Stop joking, Shanglu, you're not married yet."

Hearing this, Li Shanglu smiled and said, "I can follow whoever I want. It has nothing to do with you."

This woman was different from all the women Helan Jin had ever met. She didn't care about her reputation at all, nor did she care about what others thought. No rules or etiquette could restrain her.

He forced a laugh out of anger and squeezed out a few words from his lips, "That man is really lucky."

Shen Changyi was indeed an extraordinary person. If he married a woman like her, he would definitely kill her with a knife.

Hearing his words, Li Shanglu said indifferently, "What blessing is there? I won't give birth to it."

After the words fell, Helan Jin's expression froze, and he looked up at her, "Miss Shanglu, what do you mean by that?"

"I can have the baby if I want to, and I can not have it if I don't want to," Li Shanglu said as a matter of course. "It's my fault that the child was born in my body. I have the right to decide what to do with him."

What child? Even if she was really pregnant, it would just be a piece of meat now and could not be called a human being.

Helan Jin stared at her and suddenly smiled, "That's right, so... Miss Shanglu, do you mean to allow me to pursue you?"

He had been asked before whether he would like a pregnant woman. It seemed that Li Shanglu did not give him any chance at all.

Li Shanglu frowned and wondered, "Are you stupid? If a woman doesn't even tell you whether her period has come, it means she doesn't see you as a man at all."

Helan Jin is a pretty good guy, but she is only interested in his money. Being friends is fine, but a romantic relationship is out of the question.

"..." Helan Jin had never heard such words in his life. After all, he was once the Lord of the Demon Realm, but now he was not even considered a man. Li Shanglu inevitably aroused some inexplicable competitive spirit. He said gloomily, "You don't see me as a man, but I see you as a woman. Sooner or later, you will understand that I am more suitable for you than the man who got you pregnant."

"Then try your best." Li Shanglu glanced at him and patted his shoulder, accidentally hitting his wound. Seeing Helan Jin's face twisted and in pain, he quickly withdrew his hand. "You should try your best to not die first. I don't think you will live long. I don't like men with short lives. They can easily be killed by me."

Helan Jin's forehead was bulging with veins and sweat was pouring down. He tried his best to keep his tone calm, "Don't worry, I was born strong and I like men who can bring bad luck to my husband. I would feel uncomfortable if you didn't bring bad luck to me."

Li Shanglu was amused by him. The morning light poured through the small window onto her shoulders, making her smile bright and radiant. Her lips were red, her teeth were white, and her eyebrows were slightly curved. Her eyes, which originally seemed a little cold and aloof due to the narrow corners of her eyes, now looked like a pair of delicate fox eyes. Her thick and long eyelashes cast a warm and clear shadow on her snow-white skin.

Unconsciously, Helan Jin stared at her in a daze for a long time, and the anger in his heart gradually subsided.

It's pretty good-looking, but has a bit of a weird temper.

"What are you looking at?" Li Shanglu stopped smiling and stuffed the spirit stone back into his pocket. "Since you don't want to accept it, I'll be disrespectful to refuse it. I'll come see you another day when you're well."

Seeing her stand up to leave, Helan Jin frowned slightly and subconsciously whispered, "Why are you still coming to see me after you've recovered? Can't you come to see me every day?"

"I don't have the time for that." Li Shanglu stood up and left, waving his hand without looking back. "See you later, Master Lan Jin."

After she left, Helan Jin realized that the disaster star Shen Changyi outside the door had disappeared at some point.

The room was empty, with only him there. He seemed to be able to smell a faint, almost inaudible scent of orchid in the air.

He closed his eyes.

It smells pretty good.

*

With those high-quality spirit stones in his pocket, Li Shanglu went shopping in Laiqu City, bringing back to the sect all the things he had liked but was reluctant to pay for yesterday.

These shops were indeed very friendly. Not only did they send her a lot of gifts, they also asked the peddlers to help transport all the goods to Ming Zhou Sect, saving her a lot of effort.

As soon as she arrived at Shutong Pavilion, Li Shanglu saw a jade ring and a thick stack of banknotes on the table. Shen Changyi was sitting by the window, quietly polishing his sword. She was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise, "Why are there so many?"

Shen Changyi said in a calm voice, "I have accepted all the rewards for the last mission."

Hearing this, Li Shanglu felt better. He counted the banknotes one by one with his fingertips and praised him for the first time. "Finally, you are smarter. I told you not to refuse money. You saved their lives, so you deserve it."

"I accepted the mission."

Li Shanglu paused while counting the banknotes and suddenly looked up. "How long will it take this time?"

Chen Changyi didn't look at her. His eyes were always fixed on the long sword on his knees. He wiped every inch of the sword carefully and seriously. "I don't know when I will be back. All the rewards from now on will be handed over to you by Xie Du."

Li Shanglu's pupils shrank slightly and he clenched the stack of banknotes in his hand.

I don't know when I will be back.

Shen Changyi would never say such a thing, he would always give her a clear time.

"What's the meaning?"

The temperature in the room dropped suddenly. Li Shanglu threw the stack of banknotes on the table, his eyes darkening. "Are you not planning on coming back?"

Shen Changyi remained silent, stood up and tied the sword at his waist.

Seeing him like this, Li Shanglu became even angrier. "Just try and see if you dare to take even a single step out of this door."

This has always been effective for Shen Changyi, but it didn't work this time.

"I want to calm down for a while." He said calmly, "If you feel lonely, you can go find Helan Jin."

After the words fell, Li Shanglu opened her eyes slightly. What else did she not understand? She said in disbelief, "You secretly followed me, Shen Changyi, are you crazy?"

When she thought that Shen Changyi might have heard all those words, she felt a surge of irritation and anger in her chest, and she wanted to rush up and beat him up.

Shen Changyi did not answer, as if he no longer had the desire to explain himself.

Li Shanglu took a deep breath and tried to keep his tone calm. "Since you already know everything, I won't hide it from you anymore. I might be pregnant, but I don't want to keep it. Are you angry with me because of this?"

Shen Changyi looked at her quietly and shook his head.

"Impossible! You're blaming me for this," Li Shanglu glared at him and said firmly, "What right do you have to complain? I'm the one who wanted to give birth, and I'm the one who had to endure the pain of pregnancy and childbirth. What gives you the right to force me to give birth?"

Hearing this, Shen Changyi tightened his grip on the sword at his waist and said in a deep voice, "I know."

How happy I was to hear Shang Lu say she was pregnant, and how painful it was to hear her say she would not give birth.

"You know?" Li Shanglu sneered, "What do you know?"

"Whatever you choose is fine. I'm just sad. You should at least let me know that he was once in this world, instead of letting him leave without anyone noticing."

To Li Shanglu, it might just be a lump of unripe flesh, but to Chen Changyi, it was his only blood relative.

He knew that Li Shanglu would never want that child, but he could hardly imagine that the child that belonged to him and Shanglu came silently and left silently.

No one welcomed the child's arrival, and no one mourned his departure. Even his biological father didn't know of his existence. How sad.

His voice trembled and he slowly closed his eyes.

"That's all."

Li Shanglu was stunned for a moment. Even on the day she poisoned Shen Changyi, Shen Changyi had never shown such a sad expression.

"Chen Changyi, listen to me..." She subconsciously walked forward and wanted to hold him, but Shen Changyi gently dodged her.

He lowered his eyes and whispered, "I've always known that you don't like me. I'll come back when I calm down."

Li Shanglu grasped at nothing, vaguely feeling as if he was about to lose something. He couldn't help but say irritably, "Stop it, listen to me..."

Chen Changyi suddenly leaned over, raised his hand, and tucked the hair around her ears.

That was something he had wanted to try for a long time, but he hadn't done it in the three years since he got married. If he didn't do it now, he might never have the chance again in the future.

The light bamboo fragrance from the cuffs brushed past his nose, and Li Shanglu's heart moved slightly. He looked up at him and his voice became increasingly low, almost inaudible. "If you dare to leave, I will kill you."

"I'm going to ask Elder Teng for some harmless abortion medicine."

He said calmly, and took back his hand.

"I'm leaving tomorrow."

Li Shanglu was anxious and annoyed. Shen Changyi's stubborn attitude made her feel helpless. The anger accumulated in her chest, causing a dull pain.

Shen Changyi turned around and was about to leave, but out of the corner of his eye he saw her covering her chest with an unpleasant look on her face, her lips pursed until they turned pale.

He couldn't help but stop, his brows slightly drooping, "What's wrong? Is it that worry again?"

"What's it to you? If you want to get out, then get out now."

Li Shanglu said to him rudely, his eyes reddened. "You can leave if you want, or stay if you want. What do you think of me? Who do you think you are? Are you worthy enough to be the father of my child? Get away as far as you can. I don't need people like you anymore..."

"Get on the couch."

The voice was interrupted in an instant. Li Shanglu stopped talking and looked at him with gritted teeth. Before he could open his mouth, he was picked up and put on the couch.

Li Shanglu looked at him in surprise, his palm lightly covering his collar, only to see Shen Changyi say in confusion, "Strange."

He couldn't find out anything.

Just as he was thinking carefully, his wrist was grabbed forcefully. Shen Changyi was caught off guard and looked at Li Shanglu in surprise, watching her bite his wrist.

She bit so hard that blood almost came out.

Shen Changyi felt pain and frowned slightly, but did not pull his hand back.

Seeing that he could still hold back, Li Shanglu bit harder, and this time blood really came.

After a long while, Li Shanglu let go of him and stared at him fiercely, "Do you like to ignore me?"

He didn't ignore it, he just didn't know how to answer, nor did he leave or stay as he pleased. He had already explained that he just wanted to calm down for a while and didn't want to infect Shanglu with his unhappiness.

...Besides, he saw that she was getting along very happily with Helan Jin, and he was just a hindrance.

Looking at his horrible wrist, Shen Changyi opened his lips slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but was slapped hard in the face by the other party again.

It hurts so much.

"Do you like touching me?"

Touching?

Treating a disease and touching her cannot be equated. Xie Du said that she had a heart disease, and that should have been a sign of the disease, but... for some reason he didn't feel the cause of the disease.

"I will never give birth to a child for you in this life. Shen Changyi, remember this, you don't deserve it."

Li Shanglu was completely blinded by anger and humiliated him with the most vicious words without thinking.

Chen Changyi hesitated to speak, his face still etched with the red mark of the slap. He lowered his eyes in disappointment, "I know."

Li Shanglu stared at him coldly, "Abortion pills, huh? I can buy them myself. You don't need to worry about it."

Shen Changyi pleaded in a low voice, "Can you please let me say goodbye to him?"

He is really sick!

It’s just a piece of meat, maybe even smaller than a soybean, what’s the point of saying goodbye?

It was a mistake for her parents to arrange the marriage with the Shen family. She and that idiot Shen Changyi are not suitable for each other in any way!

Li Shanglu's forehead veins were throbbing, but he did not refuse. She just felt sorry for this fool. After all, he would never have children in his life.

The next moment, the hand that was holding her gently rested on her lower abdomen.

Shen Changyi slowly half-knelt down and caressed her flat belly with great care.

"Goodbye, Shuning."

Li Shanglu: "? Shuning?"

Chen Changyi's hand, which was bitten and bloody, gently wrapped around her waist and rested his forehead on her belly. Thinking that there might be a child belonging to him and Shang Lu, his heart softened. "If it's a girl, name her Shuning."

Li Shanglu: “…”

Who allowed him to name it like this, and whose consent was given to call it that?

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she sneered, "Where's the boy?"

Shen Changyi thought for a moment, frowned and whispered, "I don't like boys."

...He also picked it?

Li Shanglu was about to ridicule him, but she saw Chen Changyi lower his head almost devoutly, his lips lightly touching her lower abdomen, leaving a weightless but long and deep kiss.

"If it's a boy, let's call him Yan He."

"Li Yanhe, Shen Shuning."

It was taken from their two names, which were also given to them by their parents.

The faces of Shen's father and mother appeared in his mind, and his anger suddenly dissipated. His heart suddenly felt like it was being gently knocked by a small hammer, sour and dull, and he couldn't describe the feeling.

"Ning'er, don't listen to those people's nonsense."

"There's no rush for things like children, especially since you've only been married for a short time. There's no need to think too much about it."

"Yes, Ning'er, it's actually quite good not to have children. Our home is so quiet. We won't have any contact with those talkative neighbors anymore."

They were clearly looking forward to it, but they would never urge her. Even after both elders passed away, they never saw her relationship with Shen Changyi improve, let alone having a child.

If Shen's father and mother knew that after their death, she always bullied and humiliated Shen Changyi and often beat him, they would probably be very disappointed in her as their daughter-in-law.

Li Shanglu lowered her eyes and looked at the top of Shen Changyi's head. When she was a child, she often looked down at him like this. At that time, she was on the tree and Shen Changyi was under the tree. Gradually, it became Shen Changyi who was looking down at her.

She was not used to it, and the more she was not used to it, the more she wanted to prove that she was not inferior to him.

If the two of them had not grown up together day and night when they were young, Li Shanglu would definitely not have always compared herself with Shen Changyi. If she had known the sword immortal Shen Changyi from the beginning, she would never have had any intersection with him in this life.

No one dares to compare his brilliance with the scorching sun hanging high in the sky, but the full moon reflected in the teacup will be envied by the candlelight.

The more Li Shanglu belittled him, the more he hated himself.

Why is he always the good guy who is bullied by her, and why is she always the rude and vicious bad woman in front of him?

She would rather this sun that never sets become as dark and cold as she is, and as vicious as she is, so that her disgust for herself will be alleviated.

"Do you really want him so much?" She suddenly spoke, her eyes dark and unclear.

Shen Changyi looked up when he heard the voice and looked at her eagerly.

"say."

Shen Changyi's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he said hopefully, "I want to."

Li Shanglu stared at him quietly for a while, then leaned over and whispered, "I don't want him. I will abort him, and I will never let you have children. Even if one day you and I part ways and you marry someone else, I will kill all three of you."

Shen Changyi stared at her blankly and asked softly, "Why?"

"No reason, I just like torturing you." Li Shanglu held his face and said slowly, "Don't you think you are very tolerant? It doesn't matter if the child is aborted, and it doesn't matter how I bully you. Then you can continue to endure it."

Hearing this, Shen Changyi stared at her for a moment, and suddenly he grasped the hand on the side of his face.

His fingertips were cold and his eyes were filled with chill.

He suddenly pulled her into his arms, pressed her to the ground, and methodically undid her clothes, without giving Li Shanglu a chance to struggle and without any foreplay.

Shen Changyi kissed her hard and bit her lip.

Li Shanglu gasped in pain, but her neck was strangled, forcing her to turn her face towards the person in front of her.

Shen Changyi let go of her lips, staring straight into her eyes, and ruthlessly pulled apart that fragile body.

"Phytolacca."

He spoke lightly,

"I want to keep him."

Li Shanglu was strangled by the neck and could not make a decent sound. The hand used just the right amount of force to not hurt her but to suffocate her slightly, making her head confused and without any thoughts. She was left with only a strong sense of a certain part of her body.

The floor tiles of Shutong Pavilion were so cold. The sunlight from the window shone on her body, and the jade tiles reflected her figure, showing her without reservation.

Shen Changyi released her neck and tenderly kissed Li Shanglu's forehead, whose mind was in a mess.

He understood what Shang Lu wanted.

His wife wanted to turn him into a madman - a vile and shameful madman with a despicable character and no concealment of his desires.

Li Shanglu didn't need his self-righteous respect, consideration and courtesy at all, which only made her feel more hypocritical and despicable.

Why didn’t you understand it sooner?

Perhaps if he became more independent-minded, less timid and self-deprecating, and expressed all those dirty and vulgar thoughts hidden deep in his heart, Shang Lu might fall in love with him.

Phytolacca scabra.

I am not so innocent towards you. I am the same as you.

…

The sun gradually disappeared behind the treetops at three quarters past three in the afternoon.

Li Shanglu tried to pick up his clothes from the ground with trembling hands, but before he could touch them, the clothes were taken away by another hand.

Shen Changyi put his coat on her and carefully helped her tidy up her underwear.

"Get away, don't touch me..." Before Li Shanglu could finish her curse, her lips were blocked. The man bit her already swollen lips with his teeth, neither lightly nor hard, as if as a warning.

She was choked for a moment and glared at him, but she stopped scolding him and let him wipe the marks on her bit by bit and put on her clothes.

But when she was getting dressed, someone pinched her a few times without any courtesy or hesitation.

Li Shanglu's mouth twitched slightly, and his eyes swept across him.

She did deliberately say harsh words to force Shen Changyi to stop enduring, but she didn't expect that he would become so presumptuous all of a sudden... Could it be that he had wanted to do this for a long time?

She cursed Shen Changyi as a hypocrite in her heart for a long time, and tried to stand up and go out.

Before he stepped out of the door with his boots, Shen Changyi's calm voice came from behind him, "Where are you going?"

Her legs went limp for a moment, and she almost fell. She quickly held onto the door frame, gritted her teeth, and looked back at him.

"Get the medicine."

Chen Changyi calmly cleaned up the mess on the ground without raising his head, "Shanglu, come back."

This bastard...

Li Shanglu always felt unnatural in front of him, as if he had not put on any clothes at all.

"We got caught in the rain yesterday, so I'll get some cold medicine!"

Hearing this, Shen Changyi stopped what he was doing and breathed a sigh of relief. "Come back early. I'll make your favorite salted duck for lunch."

When is lunch still coming? This idiot was clearly warning her that she must come back early.

Li Shanglu escaped from Shutong Pavilion in a somewhat embarrassed manner. Along the way, people kept looking at her, and she couldn't help but walk faster.

Only after running to Danfeng did Li Shanglu take a few deep breaths and push open the door.

"You..." Elder Teng stared at her blankly, his face flushed, and he quickly looked away, "You are so shameless!"

Li Shanglu said unhappily, "What did I do to you?"

After a while, Elder Teng took out a silver mirror and threw it to her, not daring to look at her.

Only then did Li Shanglu see that his neck was covered with marks left by some bastard. The kiss marks and tooth marks overlapped ambiguously, and anyone could see how intense the fight had been.

His face flushed instantly, Li Shanglu threw the mirror in anger, and found a few pieces of cloth from Ziyan Pavilion and wrapped them around his neck.

Noticing she was in a bad mood, Elder Teng muttered to her with his back to her, "Young people, don't overindulge yourself. Everything should be done in moderation. Look at your cousin, the Sword Immortal. He's been married for three years and still doesn't have a child. He's such a pure-hearted person."

Bullshit about being pure and free from desires!

Li Shanglu nearly fainted. She approached Elder Teng with a sinister look and said coldly, "Guess who turned me into this?"

Elder Teng blushed again, "I'm not interested in knowing."

Oh, she has to say it even if you don't want to listen.

"That's the pure-hearted Sword Immortal you mentioned." Li Shanglu smiled maliciously. "Should we go ask him and see if he admits it?"

Elder Teng turned around in shock and said in disbelief, "Don't talk nonsense. The Sword Immortal is definitely not that kind of person."

If someone else were to do something like defile his cousin, he might be filled with righteous indignation and attack the bastard, but Shen Changyi would never do that!

"Tsk," Li Shanglu wrapped his clothes around himself, "If you don't believe me, go ask yourself."

An inexplicable secret pleasure rose in her heart. Shen Changyi's good reputation had been ruined by her. Let's see how he can pretend in the future.

However, upon hearing her words, Elder Teng's face suddenly darkened. "If what you say is true, I will report this to the Sect Master. Please follow me."

Li Shanglu was stunned for a moment, but Elder Teng had already hung his sword at his waist and was about to go to the main hall. She quickly stopped him and asked, "What do you want to report to the Sect Master?"

Elder Teng turned to look at her, his expression extremely solemn, his tone cold, "Even if you are the Sword Immortal, you cannot insult a woman like this. Come with me, the Sect Master will make the decision for you. If all else fails, I will seek justice for you. I will never let you be humiliated in vain."

Hearing his words, Li Shanglu's heart trembled. Since her parents died, she had not felt the care of others for a long time.

Seeing that he was really leaving, Li Shanglu couldn't help but tell the truth, "I lied to you."

Elder Teng paused and looked at her, "You're lying to me?"

That look made Li Shanglu even more uncomfortable. She pursed her lips and whispered, "Actually, I'm not Shen Changyi's cousin. I'm his wife, and he didn't insult me. If you're angry, just scold me."

Hearing this, Elder Teng let out a long sigh and glared at Li Shanglu, "You scared me to death! You bastard!"

Li Shanglu coughed awkwardly and changed the subject, "I came to get medicine. I got caught in the rain yesterday."

Elder Teng felt her pulse, his eyes still glancing at her face, "Are you really the Sword Immortal's wife?"

Li Shanglu: "Why, not like?"

Elder Teng laughed and shook his head, "I should say, how is it similar?"

He simply couldn't connect Shen Changyi and Li Shanglu as a couple. One was an upright, aloof and taciturn swordsman, and the other was a shameless and chattering girl. Whether in terms of character and style or in terms of speech and behavior, they were really incompatible when standing together.

Li Shanglu pursed his lips and said calmly, "Then who does Elder Teng think is more like his wife?"

"Of course, this is referring to Qiu Hanyu, the Saintess of Taiyin Mountain."

He was quite outspoken.

Li Shanglu held his forehead with his hand. Considering that he had just stood up for him, he endured it and said, "Then go and tell Shen Changyi to marry someone else."

Elder Teng chuckled, rummaging through the herbs on the medicine shelf, and said slowly, "What's the use of me saying that? He's not someone who would easily fall in love with someone else. What's more, he likes you so much."

"Like me?" Li Shanglu asked in confusion.

Elder Teng, without even turning around, sorted the herbs and said with a smile, "Have you forgotten? One year, you came down with a rash that never fully healed. Master Jianxian rushed back to the sect overnight and bought me a Huiyuan Pill on credit."

"Hui Yuan Dan is a treasure that can even bring back the dying. There are only a handful of people in the world who can refine it. There are only two in the entire Ming Zhou Sect. He paid off my debt for a whole year."

Who would use Huiyuan Dan to treat ordinary rashes? It's such a waste of resources. Anyone with eyes can see how much Shen Changyi likes her.

Li Shanglu really recalled something. It was not long after they got married. When she went to visit her parents' graves, she contracted a rash from someone on the way home. Shen Changyi found her more than a dozen prescriptions but it didn't cure her. Her body was extremely itchy and she always had a fever.

Unlike Shen Changyi, she rarely got sick since she was a child, but once she got sick, it was difficult for her to recover.

One night, she was feeling groggy and felt someone helping her up, feeding her water and medicine, and wiping her body. The next day, her illness was miraculously cured.

She originally thought it was her parents appearing in spirit, but it turned out to be the sword immortal appearing in spirit.

No wonder I didn’t see Shen Changyi much during that period. It turned out that he was busy paying off his debts.

"Although you're a bit of a scoundrel, you're not that annoying. If you think about it carefully, it makes sense for the Sword Immortal to marry you." Elder Teng handed her the herbs he had found and said with a smile, "Just stop bothering me at Ziyan Pavilion."

"The more you tell me not to come, the more I'll come." Li Shanglu took the herbs with a smile and said in a low voice, "Oh, and please prescribe me a medicine to keep the baby safe."

"Huh?" Elder Teng was stunned.

"Pregnancy-maintaining medicine." Li Shanglu repeated speechlessly, "Do you really need me to say it out loud?"

Elder Teng's eyes widened as he looked her up and down, "You, you're pregnant?"

Li Shanglu gritted his teeth and said, "Nonsense, or do you want to take pregnancy-preserving medicine for fun?"

"This is incredible!" Elder Teng also lowered his voice like her and said excitedly, "This is great news! We must tell the sect leader immediately, advertise to the world... and so on."

He suddenly calmed down, grabbed Li Shanglu's wrist and carefully felt his pulse, his face suddenly embarrassed, "How did you know you were pregnant?"

"I, my period didn't come." Li Shanglu had a bad feeling.

Elder Teng forced himself to laugh out of anger. "When I took your pulse just now, I only felt that you were a little weak. I heard you say you were pregnant, so I took it again. I can swear with fifteen years of experience as a doctor and thirty years of experience as an alchemist that you are not pregnant at all."

The ominous premonition came true.

Li Shanglu's face turned pale and black, and she could almost imagine Shen Changyi's expression after he found out that she was not pregnant at all.

If she had known this, she should have come to Elder Teng to confirm it first. Damn it, how could she have forgotten about this.

No, that's not right. It's all Chen Changyi's fault. She had never intended to tell him. He was the one who followed her and eavesdropped!

Thinking of the time when Chen Changyi half-knelt in front of her and said goodbye to the little kid who didn't even exist, Li Shanglu couldn't help laughing. But then she thought about the jade brick that was pressed on her from behind and she couldn't laugh anymore.

Then wouldn't she have been beaten up for nothing?

*

Shutong Pavilion.

Li Shanglu walked into the room with a gloomy face and slammed the door.

She must get back at whoever made her suffer. This is what her mother taught her, but she hasn't figured out a way to take revenge on that bastard yet.

Hearing the noise, Shen Changyi came out of the kitchen carrying the food, put it on the table, took off the cloth around his waist, and handed the chopsticks to Li Shanglu.

Li Shanglu didn't answer, staring at him intently. "Elder Teng just took my pulse and he said I'm not pregnant."

His fingertips trembled and the chopsticks fell on the table.

Chen Changyi sat across from her in a daze. After a long while, he finally said, "Let's try another doctor."

"...Even if I changed ten doctors, there wouldn't be any." Li Shanglu was quite pleased with his distraught expression. "I'm sorry to disappoint you, husband."

Hearing this, Shen Changyi shook his head and whispered, "It's okay, there will be a chance later."

Li Shanglu: “?”

The man calmly picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of the dish. His tone was as calm as if he was describing whether the dish was delicious. "Just make it a few more times a day and it will be fine."

Every day, how often, how many times?

——Is he really mad at her?

Li Shanglu's forehead was slightly sweaty, but he sneered, "You took what I said at noon seriously? I was just joking. I don't have the time to torture you for the rest of your life."

Shen Changyi raised his eyes to look at her and whispered, "It has nothing to do with you. I wanted to do this."

"It has nothing to do with me. How can it have nothing to do with me if I'm the one you want to sleep with?"

She put all her strength into it and practiced her technique well. Every time after having sex, she felt like she had been beaten by Shen Changyi.

He changed his chopsticks, tore the salted duck apart, and put it into her bowl, still with a calm expression, "From now on, I won't tolerate it anymore."

Li Shanglu looked at him in astonishment, and then he saw Shen Changyi speak softly again, "Eat something quickly to restore your strength, and then continue."

"I won't continue, Shen Changyi, listen to me clearly, I won't let you do whatever you want..." Li Shanglu spoke unbearably, but his mouth was blocked again just as he was halfway through.

Shen Changyi held her face and slowly deepened the kiss.

He learned a very powerful trick, which was to kiss Shang Lu when she was angry.

Anyway, it doesn’t hurt to get beaten.

Li Shanglu bit him hard before breaking free. Her lips were covered with shimmering water and her eyes were red. She covered her lips with the back of her hand and glared at him in shame and anger. "Are you done? Don't do this again, or I'll really get angry."

Shen Changyi hummed and explained in a low voice, "I will control the scale and won't go too far."

"...You've already gone too far!"

Hearing this, Shen Changyi picked up his chopsticks as if nothing had happened and continued eating, "If you were really angry, your heart wouldn't be beating so fast, which means you don't hate me."

Li Shanglu quickly covered her chest. She had forgotten that the person in front of her had unfathomable cultivation and extremely sharp ears and eyes. Not to mention his heartbeat, he might even be able to hear her footsteps as she walked back from ten miles away.

It's over.

Li Shanglu began to miss Shen Changyi, the man who allowed her to bully him.

Can you come back? That soft persimmon.

This is the only way, she must use her last trump card.

"If my parents knew what you did to me, what would they think?"

Shen Changyi's expression really changed slightly, and he slowly put down his chopsticks.

"Once a day."

Li Shanglu understood what he was talking about, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, "Once a year."

Chen Changyi pursed his lips and curled his fingertips, "Once every seven days."

Li Shanglu slammed his hand on the table and said impatiently, "Once a month. If you talk back again, I'll go to my parents' graves and cry."

She always has various ways to easily control him.

Shen Changyi sighed helplessly, "Okay."

In fact, when Li Shanglu said once a year, he almost agreed, but fortunately he persevered.

It's a good thing to have your own opinions.

The author has something to say: I would like to recommend my own pre-collected articles of the same type, which are also about killing husbands. You can see them in the column~

Title: Don't Make Things Difficult for a Widow

Copywriting: In the fifth year of my widowhood, my house was robbed.

It was an ordinary night and it was raining heavily outside.

I took my children to the yard to collect clothes.

When he opened the door again, several masked men appeared out of nowhere in the house.

The snow-white lightning illuminated their masks, and they were either sitting or standing, with playful smiles in their eyes.

I was shaking all over and smelling the strong smell of blood in the air.

I heard that there is a kind of demon in the world who kills people for fun. The four masked men in front of me are probably not human.

Inside the room, the only young man in black sitting there looked at me eagerly for a long time in the dark night, his eyes full of undisguised desire.

Pushing away the men beside him who were drawing their swords, he said politely,

"Hey, don't embarrass a widow."

"The roads are slippery and difficult to travel on the mountain roads during rainy days. Can we take shelter here for the night?"

My body was stiff and I could only nod in agreement.

From then on they refused to leave, night after night, and the rain had long since stopped.

I tried to escape several times but was caught every time. He seemed to know my thoughts very well and could guess whatever I did.

The two kids and I were tied up. The young man in black was waving a folding fan and ordering his men to cook for me.

I couldn't bear it any longer, so I found my husband's tablet and showed it to him, trying to dispel his enthusiasm.

He actually threw me directly onto the bed and I struggled hard but to no avail.

"I have a husband."

"I've seen the tablet."

"I have children."

"I don't have any."

"...I'm sick, I kill people when I'm angry."

"What a coincidence! I also have a disease. I particularly like being killed."

He forced me to marry him, and from then on he really turned over a new leaf and became a good man. His only request to me was that I don't take off his mask.

However, one day, I secretly took off the mask while he was sleeping.

My hair stood on end, and I recoiled in terror as if I had seen a ghost.

——It was a face exactly like my late husband’s.

I don't know when he woke up. He stared at me intently and suddenly chuckled.

"Didn't I tell you not to pick them?"

Shang Xinglan accidentally lost all his memories after falling into the devil.

He thought he would never remember why he became a demon until he accidentally hid in a farmer's house.

The farmer's daughter was a very pitiful and beautiful young widow. He fell in love with her at first sight and liked her very much. However, the young widow kept talking about her beloved husband, which made people jealous.

Until one day, the young widow threw the tablet of her beloved husband in front of him. He was stunned as if struck by lightning. There was a line of big characters written clearly on it:

Shang Xinglan, the husband of Chu Li.

He remembered.

——Five years ago, he was pushed off the cliff by his good wife.

He fell to the bottom of the cliff and became disabled. He wanted to crawl back and kill her, so he became a demon.
