Spiritual energy resurgence? My former empress wife has also revived!

Jiang Churou smiled silently when she saw Qin Shishi's protective and wary expression.

Her expression was quite strange.

Could it be that Shishi has some strange feelings for her brother?

As for whether being handsome makes one have other thoughts or be tempted?

Jiang Churou found this to be the funniest thing.

Not to brag, but she has seen far too many talented young men and so-called handsome men.

Because of her parents' family connections, Jiang Churou met many promising young men.

There are business geniuses who joined the family business at a young age and have achieved great success.

There are also children of officials who have excellent family upbringing and have been admitted to top universities on their own merit.

Many of them even pursued her.

She is beautiful, has a good figure, comes from a family that is a combination of high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen, and her family is quite large and influential in China. She also doesn't have the temperament of a spoiled young lady.

Jiang Churou is the kind of girl that many families of similar social standing desire, a girl who would be a suitable daughter-in-law.

If modern society didn't disregard the custom of formally proposing marriage, her doorstep would probably be worn down by suitors.

Jiang Churou disagreed with Qin Shishi's words.

Even if you call your brother over, what does that have to do with those annoying flies around me?

If your brother comes, they won't keep buzzing around me anymore?

However, she also realized that Qin Shishi's real intention was not what it seemed; she just wanted to find an excuse to invite her brother over to play.

Jiang Churou smiled and thought that since so many people had already come and it was already chaotic enough, it was no longer just a gathering of her dorm girlfriends, so having a few more people wouldn't make a difference.

then,

She nodded slightly: "Sure, if Shishi, your brother is willing to come and visit, I'd be happy to let him know what the incredibly handsome brother you've been talking about looks like."

Jiang Churou covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

Qin Shishi immediately picked up her phone from the bed and quickly typed on WeChat: "Okay, I'll send a message to my brother right now."

"However, our appointment is on a weekday," Jiang Churou reminded Qin Shishi, "Won't this disturb your brother's work or school?"

She didn't know how old Qin Shishi's brother was, or whether he was working or studying.

However, the time they arranged to go out was based on the schedule set by their school, which might cause trouble for others.

"It's okay, my brother is unemployed right now," Qin Shishi said with a strange sense of pride. "Besides, he promised to go to Disneyland with me, so he has to come."

No, your brother is unemployed now, what are you so proud of?

Jiang Churou was speechless for a moment.

But she just liked Qin Shishi's enthusiastic and cheerful personality, and sometimes her absent-mindedness.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have such a good relationship with Qin Shishi.

Just as the two best friends were chatting and laughing, Jiang Churou's phone suddenly rang.

Upon seeing the caller ID, Jiang Churou, who was always gentle and polite to everyone, suddenly changed her expression.

The smile on her face gradually disappeared. She bit her lip, walked to a corner of the dormitory, and pressed the answer button.

"Hey, is there something you need?"

Jiang Churou's voice was cold.

"Can't I contact you if there's nothing wrong?"

A sharp, sarcastic female voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Speak quickly if you have something to say."

"Heh, Jiang Churou, I'll make you laugh a little longer right now." The female voice on the other end of the phone was full of jealousy and twisted emotions.

"This time you're truly doomed. Before you die, I'll make you experience the cruelest pain in the world, make you kneel before me and beg for mercy, and then I'll grind your bones to dust!"

The woman on the other end of the phone seemed unable to contain her joy and let out a harsh, unpleasant laugh.

"Are you done talking? If you are, I'm hanging up."

Jiang Churou remained calm in the face of this curse.

"Ha, just you wait, Jiang Churou, you bitch! This time it's really different. I'm truly cursing you. You'll suffer a terrible death, wishing you were never born!"

The person on the other end seemed to have had their fill of cursing, and after letting out a long sigh, hung up the phone.

The person on the other end of the phone was speaking very loudly, and Qin Shishi could hear several sentences even though there was some distance between them.

She watched as Jiang Churou walked back with a gloomy expression, hesitated for a moment, and then asked in a low voice, "Churou, who made that harassing call?"

Jiang Churou glanced at Qin Shishi and felt that family scandals should not be aired in public.

But then I thought that if you don't tell Qin Shishi anything, she'll probably be scratching her head in frustration.

I've been keeping these things bottled up inside for a long time, but now that I have a good friend to confide in, I'll finally say it.

If I spend too much time on this, I'll become depressed.

Jiang Churou carefully considered her words before saying, "It was my sister who called me."

"Your sister?"

Qin Shishi's eyes widened, her expression one of disbelief.

Her first thought was of her cousin Xu Tang, who had always been at odds with her since childhood and was always sarcastic and cynical.

Even Xu Tang only made sarcastic remarks; she wouldn't say anything so offensive.

"Yes," Jiang Churou gave a helpless smile, "She is indeed my sister, my half-sister, but she's an illegitimate child."

"Illegitimate child?" Qin Shishi's mouth dropped open. This was the first time she had ever heard such a term, which usually only appeared in movies and novels, in real life.

"Yes, he's an illegitimate child." Since she had already said it, Jiang Churou didn't care to say more. "Before my father married my mother, he was set up by someone outside and got another woman pregnant."

"My parents had just gotten married when that woman came to our house with her newborn daughter and made a scene, which really upset my grandparents and maternal grandparents."

Jiang Churou seemed to be talking about a trivial matter that didn't concern her.

However, the way she unconsciously tightened her grip on the phone revealed her inner anger.

This anger was directed not only at the illegitimate child's sister and mother, but also at her father.

Qin Shishi felt like she was watching some kind of lavish drama about a wealthy family.

Although she knew it wasn't good for her best friend, she was excited and wanted to know more gossip.

Since Jiang Churou had already brought it up, she didn't intend to hide it anymore. She explained in detail, "If that woman were some kind of respectable person, then it would be one thing, but it was my dad who was wrong, and he deserved it."

"But she's a prostitute, an escort, and she's scheming against my dad to make my family pay her."

"My dad took people to do a paternity test, and it really was his daughter. Feeling guilty, he could only swallow his bitter pill and agree to give the woman a considerable amount of living expenses every month so that she could enjoy herself and take care of the child."

"Once that woman got money, she became even more unrestrained. My dad gave her millions every month, and she could spend it all very quickly. Then, she would continue to ask my dad for money by using her status as his daughter."

"The main problem is that she asked my dad for money so she could keep a younger man on the side, which infuriated my dad."

Qin Shishi was dumbfounded. The innocent girl never expected that her best friend's family would have such a bizarre situation.

After a pause, Jiang Churou continued, "If that were all, I would still feel somewhat guilty towards this older sister."

"After all, this has nothing to do with her. She is also a victim, and she has been raised in a single-parent family since birth, as if she had no father."

"But that woman spoiled her from a young age, pampered her, and made her spend money extravagantly and value money extremely much."

"That woman even taught her that as long as I die, she can take over as my illegitimate daughter and inherit my family's property."

"She would call me frequently, cursing me with things like 'may I get hit by a car and die' or something, she never stopped."

As she spoke, Jiang Churou gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with anger: "If she cursed me, that would be one thing, but she also cursed my mother to die sooner, and I can't tolerate that."

"She and her mother are a bunch of despicable people!"

This was the first time Qin Shishi had ever heard her best friend swear. In the past, she was always very polite to everyone and never used foul language. She was clearly a well-mannered young lady.

"Alright, Chu Rou, don't be angry."

Qin Shishi grasped her best friend's hand, her eyes filled with sympathy. "Let's ignore that idiot and think about how we can have fun. Don't get angry at her."

Qin Shishi is no lady from a respectable family; she's foul-mouthed!

Jiang Churou chuckled and mimicked Qin Shishi's words, "Fine, I'm ignoring this idiot. Sigh, you've corrupted me."

"You're clearly a bad woman yourself, how can you blame me?" Qin Shishi said defiantly.

The two best friends put the matter out of their minds and started chatting about TV shows and school gossip again.

……

A high-end apartment in Shanghai.

Jiang Ran cautiously looked at the gloomy middle-aged man in front of her.

A mixture of ingratiation, fear, and excitement flickered in her eyes as she whispered, "Teacher, Jiang Churou is really going to die, isn't she?"

A hint of amusement flashed in the middle-aged man's gloomy eyes. He slowly nodded and said, "Don't worry, she's definitely going to die this time."

"I will extract her soul, and her body will become my furnace. You will never see her again, and no one will doubt you."

"You will get everything you want in time."

"And all you need to give up is your blood essence, which is related to her by blood."

Jiang Ran exclaimed excitedly, "Teacher, you can take my essence blood as you please! Even if you want my mother's life, you can take it all!"

The middle-aged man's eye twitched, and he said coldly, "Your mother has no blood relation to her, what would I do with your mother's life?"

If Shanghai weren't one of the most important cities in China, heavily guarded, why would I bother with this roundabout way of achieving my goal?

It wouldn't be difficult to extract the soul of Jiang Churou, a woman with an extremely yin body that hasn't been discovered yet, and refine her body into a furnace.

The difficulty lies in whether there is any possibility of escaping after doing this.

The capital city and the demon city were the places that the Great Yan Empress valued most, and they contained many hidden formations. Even he, a member of the demonic path, dared not be too presumptuous.

However, by using this woman who harbors hatred towards Jiang Churou and is also related to her by blood, and by using her to cast a curse, he can avoid getting too entangled in karma and steadily obtain what he wants.

He looked at Jiang Ran with a mocking expression, inwardly sneering.

What a stupid woman. I'll get those cultivators from the Administration Bureau to come after you.

Once I obtain that extremely Yin body, I can further advance my cultivation in the Ghost Path.

……

Qiantang City, an old residential area.

Qin Zijun looked at the message Qin Shishi had sent on her WeChat.

He raised an eyebrow, remembering that he had indeed promised Qin Shishi that he would go to Disneyland with her.

Qin Zijun always keeps her promises.

He typed "okay" on his phone and that was how the trip was finalized.

Qin Zijun leaned against the headboard, while Lou Guanxue sat on a single sofa.

Seeing that Qin Zijun seemed to be replying to someone's message, she glanced at the profile picture and saw that it should belong to a woman.

Lou Guanxue suddenly felt an irresistible urge to act.

Who is Master chatting with?

Could it be Empress Jiang?

But would Empress Jiang know how to use a mobile phone and WeChat?

She brought her beautiful, gentle face close to Qin Zijun's, her eyelashes fluttering slightly, and asked softly, "Who is Master talking to?"

She has always been the type to ask questions whenever she has something to say.

Qin Zijun casually replied, "I'm chatting with my eldest niece."

"Qin Shishi?"

Lou Guanxue's eyes lit up.

She had already investigated her master's various family relationships in this life.

Okay,

It's not complicated; it mainly involves the family of Master's cousin, Qin Sheng.

"Yes, she asked me to go to Disneyland, and I had already agreed to go."

"Then... Master, can I go with you? I want to go to Disneyland too."

Qin Zijun looked at her side in astonishment.

Lou Guanxue's face was very close to his.

A few strands of her hair playfully brushed against Qin Zijun's cheek, allowing him to smell a faint, sweet fragrance.

It was like the cool, refreshing scent that wafted through the air after the first snowfall—cool, gentle, and invigorating.

No, you're an old maid who's lived for ten thousand years, why would you go to Disneyland?

Lou Guanxue seemed to notice the scrutiny in Qin Zijun's eyes.

The smile on her lips gradually faded, and she said in a gentle, pleasant voice, "Master, I once read a sentence online."

"What did you say?"

"If she is naive and inexperienced, take her to see the world's splendor; if she is world-weary, take her to ride a carousel."

"so what?"

"Master, my heart is weary. Can't you take me to Disneyland to ride the carousel?"

Looking at the bright, sparkling buildings, their eyes were full of anticipation.

Qin Zijun chuckled and said, "Okay, then I'll take you to ride the carousel."

A smile flickered in Lou Guanxue's eyes, but her expression quickly turned serious: "Master, have you forgotten something?"

"What is it?"

"I made a mistake. Even those ancient gods couldn't do anything to me, who were merely defeated by my master. I have truly disgraced my master, and he said he would punish me."

Qin Zijun couldn't help but look at Lou Guanxue's light and elegant eyes, which seemed to be filled with snowflakes.

It was cool, quiet, and covered with snowflakes, a vibrant spring scene full of anticipation.

My apprentice seems to be a freak.

Qin Zijun's smile vanished, and his voice grew even colder: "Guanxue, I don't like people who make mistakes."

"Yes, please punish me, Master. Guanxue has disgraced you."

Qin Zijun's gaze fell on the desk next to the computer desk, his voice cold and deep: "Go over there, do you see that desk?"

Lou Guanxue suppressed her excitement and elation.

She moved with light, graceful steps, walking very slowly, as if she wanted Qin Zijun to carefully admire her exquisite and graceful figure.

Arriving at the desk, Lou Guanxue bent down slightly, like an ostrich burying itself in the sand.

Qin Zijun got off the bed and, wearing slippers, came to Lou Guanxue's side, quietly watching her.

Feeling the familiar scent approaching her, Lou Guanxue pursed her lips tightly.

She squeezed her eyes shut, her breath becoming hot and moist: "Please, Master... punish me."

"How should I punish you?"

"This disciple is terrified and dares not presume to know Master's thoughts."

"I allow you to speculate, and I allow you to express your thoughts."

Lou Guanxue seemed even more terrified, her face flushed red. "Please punish me like I did when I was a child, Master."

*Smack!*

A crisp sound echoed in the small bedroom.

Lou Guanxue let out a soft cry.

An indescribable feeling shot from the tailbone of my spine straight to the top of my head.

"Don't move around."

"Yes, Master!"

"How am I supposed to hit you like this?"

Lou Guanxue suppressed her excitement and took a deep breath, shifting her position.

In Qin Zijun's eyes, the disciple in front of her was already swaying in an amazing arc, like a full moon arch bridge.

Qin Zijun suppressed the allure that arose within her.

A series of slapping sounds echoed continuously.

Gradually,

Lou Guanxue looked dazed, and a hint of resentment even flashed through her mind.

Why doesn't Master take it a step further?

I've already secretly put on sexy lingerie.

The current master seems to be more humane.

Unlike that "Primordial Great Luo Heaven," who coldly gazes upon all living beings, it is truly frightening.

The current master punishes her with more warmth, making him seem more like a human being.

Please punish me, Master.

Please don't pity me.

Who told me to make a mistake?

Those who make mistakes must be punished!

……

Three days later, at the end of September—

"Chu Rou, Dan Hong, aren't you ready yet?"

After finishing her makeup and getting ready, Qin Shishi urged her two roommates to hurry up.

"Here you are, Shishi! You got up so early today!"

Jiang Churou, who had also finished her makeup, rolled her eyes at her best friend in annoyance.

Qin Shishi is usually very lazy and sleeps until she's almost late every day, but today she's surprisingly attentive.

"You're so happy just to see your brother."

Jiang Churou joked.

Qin Shishi didn't take it seriously and grabbed her best friend's arm, pulling her outside: "Let's go, let's go. I'm just so excited to go out with Chu Rou."

Zhou Danhong, who had also finished her makeup, looked at her two roommates and said hesitantly, "Lu Fan and the others are already waiting downstairs."

She felt a little guilty in front of her two roommates, knowing that it was because of her that what was supposed to be a gathering between roommates had turned into a large group of people.

Jiang Churou and Qin Shishi didn't pay much attention, knowing that this matter had nothing to do with Zhou Danhong.

She's only been dating her boyfriend for half a month, and they're still very much in love. It's perfectly normal for her to bring her boyfriend along when she goes out.

The strange thing is that Duan Yong, who was pursuing Jiang Churou, happened to be in the same dormitory as Zhou Danhong's boyfriend.

"Zhao Yan, we're heading out."

Qin Shishi greeted her last roommate in the dormitory.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Zhao Yan, who had gotten up early to listen to English readings, hummed in agreement, her eyes filled with envy as she looked at her roommate.

But knowing her family's situation, she knew she couldn't waste time or money. She lowered her head and tried to immerse herself in the world of English.

Jiang Churou wore a smoky gray cotton and linen long dress, the hem of which gently fell to her ankles, and plain cloth shoes that revealed her slender insteps.

Qin Shishi wore a white silk shirt with black wide-leg pants, and a jade bracelet given to her by Jiang Zhi on her wrist.

Both women were dressed in a simple and elegant style, and both were rare beauties. As they walked side by side, they attracted the attention of those around them.

As soon as they got downstairs, the three of them met Zhou Danhong's boyfriend, Lu Fan, and Duan Yong.

Duan Yong was amazed when he saw Jiang Churou and Qin Shishi, who were dressed simply.

In terms of beauty, Qin Shishi is no less than Jiang Churou; she is definitely a campus beauty.

However, Duan Yong pursued Jiang Churou not only for her appearance, but also for her family.

Duan Yong, who had dressed up carefully, quickly stepped forward and said earnestly, "Chu Rou, I got up early to buy you milk tea. Would you like to try some?"

Jiang Churou frowned, clearly displeased with Duan Yong's intimate way of addressing her. She smiled and politely declined, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm on a diet lately and don't drink these sweet things."

Duan Yong didn't care, probably because he had been rejected many times before.

He then handed the milk tea to Qin Shishi, saying, "Beautiful Qin, how about you have this milk tea?"

Qin Shishi smiled insincerely and said, "Sorry, I'm on a diet lately, and besides... I don't drink other people's leftovers."

Her sarcastic remarks made Duan Yong feel embarrassed.

He glanced at Jiang Churou, realizing that Qin Shishi's words had actually offended her as well.

However, Jiang Churou didn't care. How could she not understand what her best friend meant? That was deliberately mocking Duan Yong.

Jiang Churou took Qin Shishi's arm and said softly, "Let's go, Shishi, we still have to queue at Disneyland."

The two best friends walked in front, and Duan Yong quickly followed, fawning over them in every way.

Lu Fan and Zhou Danhong walked at the back; the two, who had just become boyfriend and girlfriend, were very affectionate.

Seeing her boyfriend glancing at Jiang Churou and Qin Shishi in front of them from time to time, Zhou Danhong angrily said, "What, you've taken a fancy to my roommate?"

Lu Fan was startled and quickly smiled apologetically.

To be honest, he did have his eye on Zhou Danhong's roommate.

However, he was self-aware enough to know that a beauty of that caliber was irrelevant to him.

The group left the school gate and took a taxi to Disneyland.

Even on weekdays, Disneyland is packed with people in the morning.

Countless people gathered in the square, waiting for their tickets to be checked and security to be enforced.

"Chu Rou, what a coincidence! You guys are also at Disneyland?"

Just as everyone arrived at Disneyland and was about to find a line to join, a man's surprised voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone stared intently as a handsome man with hair wax on his head, dressed in luxury casual wear, walked over.

Jiang Churou sighed helplessly when she saw the other party.

Qin Shishi nudged her with her elbow and teased in a low voice, "My Chu Rou is really popular."

Duan Yong, who was acting like a sycophant, looked displeased.

He certainly knew the other person.

Yu Junbo, along with Jiang Churou's family, are all from the same social circle.

However, compared to Duan Yong, Yu Junbo's family is much wealthier.

In particular, the other party is not only handsome, but also capable. He is currently a minister in the student union of Shanghai Jiao Tong University and is a strong contender for the future student union president.

What embarrassed Duan Yong the most was that the other party was also a suitor of Jiang Churou.

He cursed inwardly, "What a load of rubbish about fate! You just knew in advance that Chu Rou was coming today and ambushed her here."

"Hello, senior."

Although Qin Shishi knew that her best friend was not interested in Yu Junbo, she still had to be polite.

Yu Junbo smiled at Qin Shishi and said warmly, "Hello, Qin."

Then, he looked at the crowd and said with the spirit of a protagonist, "Chu Rou and all the classmates, let's not line up here anymore."

"Let's go straight in through the VIP entrance."

"No need for anyone to spend money, I have acquaintances here."

Jiang Churou and Qin Shishi remained silent.

They didn't actually want to wait in long lines here; spending some money to use the VIP channel was their original plan.

However, they chose to wait in the long line to accommodate Zhou Danhong and her boyfriend.

But since Yu Junbo said he had done the job and specifically mentioned that he hadn't spent any money, refusing would seem like making trouble out of nothing.

Yu Junbo is indeed more capable than Duan Yong.

Duan Yong's expression grew increasingly grim.

"Um, could you wait a moment, senior?"

Yu Junbo was very patient with Jiang Churou's best friend, Qin Shishi.

Isn't it said that if you want to pursue a girl, you should start by getting close to her best friend?

"What's wrong, Qin?"

"I also invited my brother over, could we wait for him?"

"Haha, of course, no problem. We can chat here."

Qin Shishi took out her phone and started typing rapidly.

[Qin Shishi: Brother, where are we?]

Qin Zijun: We've arrived.

Upon receiving this message, the surrounding air suddenly fell silent, and countless eyes involuntarily turned to look ahead.

Qin Shishi was surprised and followed everyone's gaze.

then,

She then realized why everyone around her had fallen silent.

She first saw her "older brother".

Qin Zijun was wearing the simplest casual clothes, which were close-fitting.

He walked over calmly, a faint smile gracing his handsome face.

He simply stood there, like a black hole in time, drawing in all the light around him and making it impossible to look away.

Calm, composed, and possessing an indescribable innate nobility, she inspires genuine admiration.

But compared to Qin Zijun, the woman beside him was even more shocking and attracted more attention.

She was simply dressed in an elegant white ancient-style dress, possessing an indescribable temperament and an inexplicable spiritual aura.

She simply stood there, yet she seemed to exude countless extraordinary qualities and an irresistible, ancient charm.

The hibiscus comes out of the clear water and is carved naturally.

That transcendent beauty suddenly became tangible at this moment.

When people's eyes fell on her face, they felt dizzy and mesmerized, realizing what it meant to be captivating.

What's most incredible is that such a stunningly beautiful woman should have aroused covetousness and desire in any man.

But when the man's gaze fell upon her, it did not arouse the slightest desire; instead, it evoked only longing and reverence, as if he were seeing a celestial being.

When Qin Shishi saw the girl following Qin Zijun, she felt ashamed of herself.

But the next moment,

Qin Shishi's mind was filled with anger.

Although I knew long ago that my uncle was a scumbag.

But this is just too much of a jerk!

He's already changed girlfriends after only a few days.

And how come all of my uncle's girlfriends are so extraordinary and excessively beautiful!

Are all these women blind to have fallen for such a scumbag?

She stood up for Ms. Jiang.

But a secret joy also stirred within me.

Ha, this unknown beauty, I wonder how long you can stay by my uncle's side before he abandons you!
