Could it be that my husband has fallen for a married man?
Jiang Chuan felt Ru Shuang's gaze and was speechless. However, he still patiently explained to Ru Shuang, "What is Madam thinking?"
"She does not have a husband."
"What I mean is that it's not that easy, because she is currently being imprisoned and held captive..."
Jiang Chuan found a reason and said to Ru Shuang, "As you know, Madam, I have now replaced Emerald Tiger and become the person who makes money for Ji Wuye. Having inherited such a large fortune, many wealthy people from Xinzheng have come to befriend and flatter me. Among them, there is a wealthy man who keeps a strange woman from Baiyue in his mansion."
"The other party was surrounded by flames. In order to avoid being hurt by the flames, the wealthy man imprisoned him in a water prison made of crystal. I followed the wealthy man and inadvertently glimpsed the other party's face."
"From that moment on, I never forgot it, day and night."
"I also offered to buy the woman, but unfortunately, she was unwilling to sell."
"So, we've come to you, Madam, wanting your help to kidnap her."
Even though Jiang Chuan considered himself to be thick-skinned, he was still somewhat embarrassed to say the following.
He sounds like a tyrant who enjoys abducting women, taking them to his home and forcibly taking their place.
Upon hearing this, Ru Shuang did not immediately agree to Jiang Chuan's request. Instead, she looked at Jiang Chuan with a playful gaze, "Husband, I didn't expect this..."
Her voice was low and carried a hint of strangeness.
Jiang Chuan felt a little uneasy under Ru Shuang's gaze. "What does Madam want to say?"
Ru Shuang said, "I thought my husband was devoted to me, but I never expected that he would be thinking of other women while we were in bed together."
"As expected, all men are fickle."
Jiang Chuan was at a loss for words.
Immediately afterward, he heard Ru Shuang's tone change, "However, I don't mind. With my husband's abilities, it is indeed necessary to take in a few more concubines."
Chapter 42 The Free Flame Spirit Princess
Jiang Chuan always felt that when Ru Shuang said the word "ability," she meant something else.
But Ru Shuang didn't say it outright, so Jiang Chuan could only assume it was his own imagination.
Immediately afterwards, Ru Shuang asked him in detail about the location of the woman.
Jiang Chuan told the truth.
Of course, he didn't forget to give Ru Shuang a reminder.
"The other party is named Yan Lingji. She was a subordinate of Tianze, the deposed crown prince of Baiyue. She has a special physique and is proficient in fire control. She is quite strong. She is currently imprisoned in a water dungeon. She has been able to suppress her strength by taking advantage of the special properties of the water dungeon."
"If you manage to rescue her, Madam, you must be careful not to be burned by her flames."
Ru Shuang's eyes lit up when she heard Jiang Chuan's words. "My husband really knows a lot."
"It seems that my husband's taking a concubine was a pretense; he really had ulterior motives."
She remembered that the box Jiang Chuan had asked her to retrieve earlier came from the Baiyue region.
According to Jiang Chuan, after the state of Zheng was destroyed, the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions that belonged to Zheng were transferred to Baiyue.
Now, Jiang Chuan has also found the whereabouts of Tianze, the deposed crown prince of Baiyue, and his subordinates.
Is there any connection between these two?
Could those Baiyue people decipher the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon?
But no matter which one.
Since her husband had asked for her help, she naturally had to help him accomplish this task.
Ru Shuang has set off once again.
She has a decisive and efficient personality.
They never procrastinate when doing things.
Jiang Chuan looked at Ru Shuang, who had changed into her combat uniform, and knew that he couldn't help her with his current strength.
Although his internal strength had reached a first-class level.
But in this world, being top-notch really doesn't mean much.
Only after entering the Innate Realm can one be considered a true master.
According to Ru Shuang's observation, Ji Wuye's two subordinates in the General's Mansion, Mo Ya and Bai Feng, are both experts at the first level of the Innate Realm. It is precisely because they have entered the Innate Realm that they can manipulate the power of heaven and earth, which is why their lightness skill is so fast.
However, Bai Feng seems to have just entered the Innate Realm, so his strength is much inferior to Mo Ya's.
Since he couldn't help Ru Shuang much, Jiang Chuan could only tell her, "Be careful."
After Ru Shuang left, she took care of Xiao Yan'er.
……
The water dungeon where Yan Lingji is imprisoned is located in a wealthy merchant's villa.
Normally, in order to maintain this place, the wealthy merchant also employed several people to manage it.
However, because Yan Ling Ji is a thorny rose, she can only be admired and not touched.
Wealthy businessmen don't come here often.
Ultimately, his construction of the crystal water prison and his keeping of Yan Lingji there stemmed solely from a sense of curiosity.
He would only bring guests here occasionally to see Yan Lingji in the water dungeon.
Besides, he usually spends most of his time doing business. Even if he really needs to relax and indulge, wouldn't it be better to find a few real beauties that he can actually touch than this mermaid that he can only admire but not touch?
As a former top-tier member of the Luo Wang organization, Ru Shuang's strength not only did not decline after leaving the organization, but also improved significantly due to her dual cultivation with Jiang Chuan. Now, she boasts that she would not be weaker than any of the veteran top-tier members of the Luo Wang organization.
Ru Shuang easily slipped into the basement of the villa.
The passageway was long, and soon she arrived at a huge underground space.
"They're quite willing to spend that much."
Looking at the enormous underground space, Ru Shuang couldn't help but comment on the wealthy man.
It's truly astonishing that such a grand spectacle was made just to keep a mermaid who could only be admired but not touched.
Soon, Ru Shuang saw the "mermaid" being kept there.
Under the torchlight, one can see a water prison constructed of crystal in the underground space.
The water prison was filled with water.
But it wasn't completely filled with water.
In the middle of the many streams, there is a towering platform, which is higher than the streams and is the only open space.
It was also the woman's refuge.
In addition, the surrounding water greatly restricted her abilities.
The woman's clothes were extremely thin, and her body was graceful and charming.
Upon seeing the other person, Ru Shuang suddenly understood why her husband had been moved by her; she was indeed a rare and exquisite beauty.
So, she gradually changed her mind.
The husband wanted to rescue this woman himself. Aside from the fact that she came from Baiyue, she might be related to the Seven Constellations of the Azure Dragon. Perhaps he really had his eye on her and wanted to take her as a concubine.
When Ru Shuang arrived here.
Yan Lingji, who was trapped in the water prison, also noticed that someone else had come here.
Ten years ago, the Baiyue people fought a war.
Her master, Tianze, was defeated by Bai Yifei.
After that, the fate of these subordinates was not good.
They were either killed or scattered and fled.
At that time, she was still young. Although she learned the fire control method of the Baiyue region due to her special physique, she had not yet cultivated it to its peak, and was therefore captured.
Later, because of her beauty, she was sold at a high price.
Originally, those people intended to humiliate and possess her, but with the help of fire control techniques, Yan Lingji was surrounded by powerful flames, making it impossible for ordinary people to touch her.
She protected herself through this method.
However, even she did not expect that, after many twists and turns, she would eventually fall into the hands of the person she was with.
This person seemed to know that she possessed the art of fire control and could not possess her, so he spent a lot of money to build this water dungeon and imprisoned her in it, treating her as an object of his interest.
Over the years, even while in the water prison, Yan Lingji never forgot to cultivate, and she could feel her strength improving.
Unfortunately, the surrounding environment countered her fire control techniques.
She had no way of getting through here and escaping.
Over time, while outsiders admired her, she also looked at them with a playful gaze.
In the past, those who came here were all lecherous men.
