Wen Qiyu's words brought up the topic again, and that shameless woman even wanted him to marry her, which made him furious. Without thinking, he started to bombard her with criticism.
"You have a wife? Wen Qiyu, I didn't say you were married, so how come you have a wife?"
Cen Xi recalled the gossip Feng Qin had told her before, and she looked Wen Qiyu and the python with great interest. Could the wife he was talking about really be that python?
“My wife is right here, that’s her! I’m planning to spend the rest of my life with her, of course she’s my wife.”
Wen Qiyu grabbed the golden python's head and kissed its tongue, openly asserting her dominance.
"The golden python is the guardian deity of our Miao region. Who are you, brat, to dare to desecrate it like this?"
Wen Qiyu's actions completely enraged Yin Shun, who leaped up and rushed to Wen Qiyu's side.
"Besides knowing Gu magic, Yin Shun also knows martial arts. It seems your uncle-master intends to elevate his daughter to a higher position!"
Just as Yin Shun flew past, Cen Xi glanced in the direction of Jun Jianchou.
“Who can disagree? Martial Uncle has a good eye. Yin Shun is very ambitious, and his Gu techniques and martial arts are not bad. If we were to pick someone from Miao territory to manage this place, he would definitely be the most suitable candidate.”
Jun Jianchou glanced back at Cen Xi and nodded in agreement.
As the two were talking, Yin Shun grabbed Wen Qiyu and slapped him across the face.
Then they saw the golden python shoot out a lot of venom, as if it was determined to fight Yin Shun to the bitter end.
"Damn it! No woman has ever dared to slap me in my life. You're the first. Good, very good! Xiaobai, Xiaoqing, pounce on this woman and bite her to death. Wife, she bullied me. You have to kill her for me, or I won't be able to vent my anger."
Wen Qiyu touched his burning face, feeling a surge of anger rising to the top of his head. But seeing the woman dodging left and right, he realized he was no match for her. So he could only pout and shed tears, gazing at the golden python fighting Yin Shun and acting coquettishly.
“My God, I did not mean to offend you. You are the god of my Miao region. How could you become the wife of some nobody?”
Yin Shun dodged and weaved, but unfortunately, the golden python seemed determined to kill her and relentlessly pursued her.
After Lu Moxiu helped Miao Hou regulate her breathing for a while, he saw that her daughter was suffering again, still being attacked by the golden python. Then he looked down at the boy who was waving his arms and cursing his daughter.
He sighed inwardly, sealed Miao Hou's acupoints, walked up to Cen Xi, Shen Jinchen, and Jun Jianchou, performed a welcoming ceremony for foreign guests, and then spoke:
"The current situation is entirely my fault. Please make any demands you may have, and I beg you to persuade that young man to spare my daughter."
"Old man, you expect us to forgive you with just a few words? Did you ever think about the consequences when you plotted against us? If you want internal strife in Miao territory, just let it be. Why drag us into it? Oh, is it because you lack the ability to overthrow the established system of Miao territory and cannot control the elders, so you bring in outsiders?"
Cen Xi looked at his white-haired, wrinkled face without a trace of sympathy. Her tone even carried a hint of sarcasm. She really looked down on such a person and didn't want to give him any face.
Anyway, now that the King of Ten Thousand Gu is in their own hands, no matter how sincere this old man is, he can't move them anymore.
“It’s all my fault. After this is over, old man, I will atone with my death. Your Highness, there are still hundreds of thousands of people in Miao territory. Now that there is no one in power, those bandits and robbers are unrestrained. Yin Shun is a good candidate. Please spare his life.”
Lu Moxiu glanced painfully at Yin Shun, who was still running around frantically, and suddenly knelt down in front of them, pleading bitterly.
"Uncle-Master, why bother? When you sent people to frame Cen Xi, did you ever think about the consequences today?"
Seeing the old man's appearance, Jun Jianchou's eyes were filled with even more mockery. He laughed at how others could be so high and mighty when they were in trouble, while he could easily ask for forgiveness when his own family members were in trouble.
What a robber's logic! I wonder if his two ancestors from the Hidden Sect and Medicine King Valley only saw his talent and not his character?
"It was my fault. You can punish me however you want, but please spare my daughter."
The old man wiped the blood from his mouth and cried with snot and tears streaming down his face. Anyone could see that he was truly heartbroken for Yin Shun.
"It's not impossible for us to let Yin Shun go, after all, she has very little involvement in all of this. But there is one condition you must agree to, old man. If you do this, we will make Wen Qiyu release your beloved daughter."
Cen Xi glanced at Jun Jianchou, then at Shen Jinchen, who remained silent. Ultimately, out of consideration for their shared sect, she decided to let the old man go.
However, they were tricked, and they deserved all the humiliation they were given.
"Please, Your Highness, give me your orders. I will do my best to fulfill them!"
Jun Jianchou's words had originally plunged Lu Moxiu into despair, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and Cen Xi expressed her forgiveness.
"Fine! That's great. You got what you wanted. Don't blame me for messing with you. Now slap yourself fifty times and yell at the top of your lungs. I'm an idiot. We can help you negotiate with Wen Qiyu."
Cen Xi curled her lips into a wicked smile, then looked into the old man's yearning eyes and said, word by word.
"You...! This is an insult!"
After Cen Xi finished speaking, Lu Moxiu's face flushed red. It took him a while to finally manage to utter such a sentence.
"Yes, that's to humiliate you! An eye for an eye, you humiliated us physically, I'll humiliate you mentally, it's fair, isn't it?"
Cen Xi smiled and chatted, wanting to see the other person so embarrassed.
“My wife is right. Everything has a price to pay. We paid the price without provoking anyone, so we should seek justice. That’s all I ask for.”
"Senior Yin, let's do as she asks. If you don't agree in another quarter of an hour, Yin Shun might be going to die. Speaking of which, this god of Miao territory is really something. Look how badly he beat your daughter."
Shen Jinchen smoothed the stray hairs on Cen Xi's face that had been ruffled by the wind, then pinched Cen Xi's cheek as punishment, before casually glancing at Lu Moxiu, who was still kneeling.
At the same time, Jun Jianchou also spoke:
"Yes, Uncle-Master, don't blame me for disrespecting my teacher. You went too far. Since you want us to forgive you, then do as Cen Xi says. Once you've done it, everything will be fine!"
