It turns out that Gao Zhenzhen is not a person who has traveled through the book, so she feels relieved.
"Why would you marry him? To be abused to death by him?" Ling Xiang scoffed. "You're the only one who treats him like a sweet potato. You've lived two lifetimes just for one man, and in the end, you still haven't got him. Your life is quite a failure."
Gao Zhenzhen had been defeated by Ling Xiang in both of her lives and was extremely unwilling to accept this: "Ling Xiang, I curse you to die a miserable death!"
Ling Xiang turned a deaf ear and continued to taunt:
"You devoted your heart and soul to the King of Qin, even abandoning your conscience, just to get him, but in the end, he searched your soul and turned you into a fool. If it weren't for my master, you wouldn't even be able to tell the difference between one, two, and three, let alone curse."
Gao Zhenzhen became even angrier when she mentioned her master: "That's my master! He's mine! You stole my master!"
Ling Xiang raised his eyebrows. "Do you really think that the Alchemy Palace Master would accept you as his disciple based on your meager talent? It's only because you were nourished by my blood and seized my luck that you were chosen."
"That was something you gave me willingly! Ling Xiang, in your last life, you were just like a dog, being trampled on the ground by me, wagging your tail and begging for mercy!"
"So in this life, God has made you suffer the consequences of your actions." Ling Xiang took out a dagger and gently slashed it across Gao Zhenzhen's face.
"Tell me, how should I kill you? Should I cut you into pieces, one cut at a time, or feed you more poison so your intestines rupture and you die slowly? Or how about a combination of both?"
Gao Zhenzhen was afraid of death, but she also knew that she and Ling Xiang were irreconcilable. It was rare that she didn't beg for mercy: "Come on then. If I live again, I will definitely kill you first!"
"Why, you want to die and be reborn?" Ling Xiang smiled faintly, "Or else you'd be stupid. If I kill your soul, what will you use to be reborn?"
At this moment, Gao Zhenzhen was really panicked: "Do you think I will believe you?"
"Does it matter whether you believe it or not?" Ling Xiang cast a spell, "This spell can imprison your soul. As long as you die, your soul will also perish."
"Ling Xiang, you will not die well!" Gao Zhenzhen screamed in pain.
"There's no need to dirty my hands by killing you. Let Nangong Yu do it. He should hate you more." Ling Xiang didn't care. He silenced Gao Zhenzhen, opened the door, and ordered someone to send Gao Zhenzhen back to King Qin.
Nangong Yu didn't want to see Gao Zhenzhen again, so he destroyed Gao Zhenzhen's dantian, threw her into a brothel, and ordered people to watch her all day long, making sure she lived a life worse than death.
…
The selected departure date was approaching, and Xuanyuan Qi originally wanted to go to the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion again. However, no one expected that the news of Lingxiao's immortal soul's imminent birth would leak out.
Xuanyuan Qi was ultimately unable to see Ling Xiang again and rushed to the Fuxian Secret Realm overnight.
Ling Xiang was also preparing to go to the Fuxian Secret Realm, but she was not as well-informed as Xuanyuan Qi, and did not know that something big had happened in the Fuxian Secret Realm.
After the news of Ling Xiang and Nangong Yu's broken engagement spread, it quickly occupied the headlines of gossip in the capital, and people were talking about it in the streets and alleys.
In the Dajing Empire, it was a serious matter for a woman to have her engagement broken off. She would be ridiculed wherever she went, and it would be almost impossible for her to marry into a good family again in her life.
Ling Xiang was recuperating at home, oblivious to what was happening outside and totally unconcerned with what others were saying.
On this day, Yuan Zhengqing paid a high-profile visit to the Marquis of Zhenguo's Mansion with generous gifts.
"Master Yuan?" Ling Xiang was surprised to see Yuan Zhengqing bringing in a group of people carrying a large pile of boxes.
Yuan Zhengqing bowed solemnly and said, "Ling Xiang, I am attracted to you and would like to marry you as my only wife."
Ling Xiang was very surprised. After thinking for a moment, he dismissed everyone and said gratefully:
"I know Master Yuan is doing this for my own good and doesn't want others to look down on me. Thank you for your kindness, Master Yuan. However, I don't care about the rumors outside. Master Yuan, don't worry about me. Please take back the gifts in the yard."
Yuan Zhengqing stared at Ling Xiang, very seriously: "Ling Xiang, I know you don't care about the rumors outside. I'm not here because of the rumors outside. I really like you and want to spend the rest of my life with you."
Ling Xiang really didn't expect that Yuan Zhengqing was serious!
"I'm honored to be liked by Master Yuan." Ling Xiang was very frank, "However, I already have a lover, so I can only let Master Yuan down."
Yuan Zhengqing had thought he would be rejected, but he never thought it would be for such a reason.
Yuan Zhengqing was very disappointed, but he accepted it calmly: "May I know who is so lucky to have Miss Ling's favor?"
Ling Xiang lowered her eyes, trying her best to look like a young girl in love: "I haven't expressed my feelings to him yet, so I can't tell Master Yuan who he is yet..."
"Then I wish you to find your ideal husband as soon as possible." Yuan Zhengqing was very calm. He took his gifts and left the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion.
The news that Yuan Zhengqing's proposal to Ling Xiang was unsuccessful once again sparked heated discussions in the capital.
The Concubine Shu and the Emperor in the palace were unable to sit still. In order to prevent Yuan Zhengqing from causing trouble, the Emperor sent him away and ordered the Concubine Shu to invite Ling Xiang into the palace to try to arrange the marriage between Ling Xiang and Prince Huai.
In order to show her importance to Ling Xiang, her future daughter-in-law, Concubine Shu specially prepared a valuable gift for the meeting.
As soon as Ling Xiang got off the sedan chair at the palace gate, she was invited to get on the sedan chair prepared for her by Concubine Shu.
Although Ling Xiang had entered the palace under the identity of Duanmu Linglong and met Concubine Shu, the situation was different now. This time she could only fight alone.
Moreover, Shufei is Xuanyuan Qi's mother, and no one knows why she was called into the palace this time.
Seeing Concubine Shu, Ling Xiang bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Madam Shu."
"Hurry up and get up." Concubine Shu helped Ling Xiang up and looked at her carefully.
"Thanks to Miss Ling for often sending me Jade Skin Cream, I always wanted to see how graceful Miss Ling was. Today, I met Miss Ling in person, and she was just as delightful as I imagined. No wonder Qi'er always kept talking about you in my ear."
Ling Xiang said respectfully, "It is the blessing of Jade Skin Cream that I can be favored by the Concubine Shu."
"Qi'er had to leave for something. Before she left, she told me to take good care of you. Xiang'er, when you have time in the future, please come to my palace more often and just spend time with me, okay?"
In just two sentences, Concubine Shu changed her address to Ling Xiang from Miss Ling to Xiang'er. Ling Xiang was a little overwhelmed by her familiarity, so she simply cut off the source of the trouble and cut off Concubine Shu's thoughts:
"If the Concubine Shu doesn't mind, I will definitely come to visit her when I come back from my trip."
"Xiang'er is going out?" Concubine Shu was puzzled. "Where is she going?"
"I'm going out for training. I've already made my schedule and will be leaving in the next few days."
Concubine Shu quickly took out the storage ring she had prepared, put some life-saving magic weapons in it, and gave it to Ling Xiang:
"Girls, please protect yourself when you go out."
Ling Xiang quickly declined: "Thank you, Madam Shufei, but I cannot accept such a valuable gift without merit."
