The fake prince was exposed at the beginning, and I took office as emperor on the spot

Chapter 128 Punishment
During these five days, Gu Lianxian's physical injuries healed quickly, but every night she would have nightmares uncontrollably.

Originally, with her strength at the sixth level of Wudan, she should have stopped being troubled by nightmares long ago.

After reaching the sixth level in martial arts cultivation, one's spirit and soul will be enhanced, and one's willpower will be extraordinary.

In the past, Gu Lianxian thought that these things were things that only ordinary people, who were equally fragile in spirit and body, would worry about.

She is a martial arts prodigy praised by her father and the young princess of the Zhenbei Palace.

She is fearless, so what else can scare her to the point of turning it into a nightmare?

However, just when she was at her most proud, she encountered the darkest moment of her life.

That despicable villain, that shameless beast, whose true face she had never seen until now, took advantage of her severe injuries and inability to move to commit horrific and brutal atrocities against her!

So far, she has not mentioned this matter to anyone.

The people in Jiange and Ning Caiyong all thought that she had been hunted for several days and nights and could not accept her failure, so she was depressed and hid in her room, not daring to see anyone.

But in fact, although Gu Lianxian's mind is still immature, she is indeed a pure martial arts genius.

This failure made her quickly realize her shortcomings.

The life-and-death battles with various masters made her understanding of martial arts grow rapidly. Otherwise, how could she successfully escape and hide from the siege of so many practitioners of the same level?

I have been staying in my room these days, recuperating from my injuries and practicing.

In just a few days, Gu Lianxian felt that she was showing signs of a breakthrough.

In the past, her courage was actually a false courage brought about by the compliments of others, so her sixth-grade cultivation was not solid.

But after this experience, she has the possibility of breaking down and then rebuilding herself.

It turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

Just as Gu Fangchen said before, martial courage comes from having absolute control over martial power, which gives rise to the fearless courage.

After Gu Lianxian understood her own strength and had the corresponding cognition.

This failure will not make her feel afraid, but will instead help her improve her state of mind in martial arts.

What she was really afraid of was the pitch darkness in the cave.

It was that strange man, whose name and face she didn't know, who did whatever he wanted in her body, roughly kneading every part of her body.

And no matter how she cried out, no one came to save her from despair.

She always woke up sobbing in the middle of the night, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably, and she could only curl up in the quilt and shiver.

In fact, she had clearly checked and found that the strange man did not leave any dirty things.

But every time she woke up from a dream, she would feel a dull pain in her lower abdomen.

It was as if the man's hand was still messing around inside.

That was the most terrifying nightmare Gu Lianxian had ever experienced in her life.

She hasn't collapsed yet, firstly because she has the spiritual support of the Taoist priest.

Although the Taoist priest is currently missing, Ning Songjun has personally admitted that there is indeed a "not Taoist priest". Gu Lianxian can tell herself that the Taoist priest must have his own things to do, which is why he left without saying goodbye.

The second reason is that the strange man is already dead.

Although Gu Lianxian did not see it with her own eyes, among the corpses outside at that time, there was only one man in purple robes, who was a fifth-grade cultivator and had died not long ago.

She was certain that this man was the villain who was killed by the Taoist priest.

So, when Gu Lianxian woke up, she comforted herself that the man was dead and no one knew about it except him who was not the Taoist priest.

Just wait for time to pass... everything will be fine.

She will emerge from that darkness.

However, when that familiar voice appeared in her ears, Gu Lianxian was once again uncontrollably pulled back into the abyss of darkness by those hands.

The damp, cold, muddy and dirty cave, and the blurry and hideous figure appeared clearly before his eyes again.

How can it be? !
How could it be... Impossible, how could he still be alive?!
And, what's even more terrifying is that he appeared in her room?
This is Jiange!

This is my uncle's territory. How could a sect ruled by a second-rank Shinto master allow such a villain to sneak in?
The girl's face turned pale as paper and she began to tremble violently. She curled up tightly and grabbed the quilt to wrap herself up.

Absolutely impossible!
It must be an illusion!

Yes, that's right, she must be dreaming now!

Gu Fangchen looked at the quilt curled up in front of him and knew that Gu Lianxian wanted to play ostrich and pretend not to hear.

He then sat down directly beside the bed and sneered leisurely, "After doing something bad, you feel guilty and hide when you are discovered. You are really Gu Yuye's good daughter, just as hypocritical as him."

"Tell me, if other people knew that our noble little princess was actually a bad seed, wanting to harm her own biological mother, and had already been unclean for a long time, what would they think?"

Although the soul of the seventh-grade wandering spirit realm cannot yet manifest itself, it can already affect objects in reality like an ordinary person.

Gu Lianxian's pupils trembled violently, and she clearly felt that the edge of her bed had sunk a little under the obvious weight.

She covered her mouth and almost screamed, tears suddenly appeared in her eyes.

How to do?
It's really him!

That beast, he is not dead!
Not only did he not die, but he also quietly entered Jiange and captured her again!
Gu Lianxian was filled with fear and even forgot that she was a sixth-rank warrior. Her hands and feet were stiff and she didn't even dare to lift the quilt.

The experience in the cave had made her lose all her confidence.

She shook her head desperately, pursed her lips, closed her eyes and said in panic:
"No! Don't tell anyone! Please... please! I don't want to hit my mother. I'm just pretending. As long as that bastard is distracted, I'll stop immediately!"

Gu Fangchen said coldly:

"You don't want to? Who else would want to?"

He reached out and directly lifted the quilt, removing Gu Lianxian's last bit of psychological defense.

Gu Lianxian let out a short scream, hid in the corner of the bed and trembled, still not daring to open her eyes.

The maid outside noticed the movement and immediately asked:
"Little Princess, are you having a nightmare again?"

Gu Lianxian wanted to call for help, but immediately, she felt two cold hands pressing on her shoulders.

She trembled and said in a trembling voice:

"No, no, I just want to be alone for a while. You can go down and rest first."

The maid didn't suspect anything and walked away obediently.

Gu Fangchen whispered:

"You seem to hate Gu Fangchen a lot, don't you? Just because someone said something like that, you're willing to sacrifice your own mother just to get rid of him?"

Gu Lianxian shook her head vigorously and retorted palely:
"No, I haven't thought about that..."

"That's what Gu Yuandao thought."

"Impossible! Second brother is a gentleman, and everyone knows that he was forced into this desperate measure. Because the opportunity was only a split second, it was safest for me to do it... He said that even if I refused, he wouldn't be angry."

"Oh?"

Gu Fangchen lowered his head and said:

"That means, if you hadn't taken action, he would have chosen to abandon this plan?"

Gu Lianxian said affirmatively:

"Of course!"

Gu Fangchen said:

"It's really naive."

Seeing that he didn't do anything to her immediately, but seemed to be interested in this matter, Gu Lianxian actually mustered up a bit of courage and said through gritted teeth:

"That's the truth! Second brother is not a bad person!"

Gu Fangchen sneered:

"Then I've figured out how to punish you."

"Let me show you what kind of person Gu Yuandao is. Just do as I say—"

"Pretend to agree to his request that you cooperate with him in holding Ning Caiyong hostage, but when the day comes, you must not take action. See for yourself what he will do."

Gu Lianxian felt the hand on her loosen, and then the man said with a smile:
"If Gu Yuandao still attacks, then you're a lying little dog. I want you to... kneel down in front of Gu Fangchen and bark like a dog three times."

Gu Lianxian was stunned and opened her eyes suddenly in disbelief.

But there was no one in front of me.
