I picked up skill fragments in the demon world

#583 - The humiliation of the fiancée (thanks to the leader of the group '竹叶籽酥')

Chapter 580: The Humiliation of the Fiancée (Thanks to the Alliance Leader 'Bamboo Leaf Seed Crisp')

Zhang Chen didn't have any objections upon hearing this. There were many strange methods in this world, and one could easily fall victim if they weren't careful. It was normal for the Shen family to be strict.

Shen Xu took out a jade plate from his sleeve and placed it on top of Zhang Chen's Baihui acupoint, explaining, "This jade plate is a secret treasure excavated by my Shen family from a large tomb. It can detect a person's bloodline and soul."

After some inspection, Shen Xu said, "It is indeed the bloodline of my Shen family and the Zhang family, and your souls have not been tampered with either."

"Tomorrow, you will come with me to see the Old Madam and acknowledge your relatives," Shen Xu said.

Hearing Shen Xu's words, Zhang Chen nodded and said politely, "Thank you for your trouble."

Inside Jiang Nan's room, Jiang Nan was playing chess with Shen Ling, who was dressed in red. The sound of their chess pieces echoed continuously, particularly crisp in the silent room.

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps, accompanied by the shouts of a little maid, came from outside the house: "Miss, something bad has happened! Something bad has happened!"

Shen Ling paused the action of picking up a chess piece, turned her head to look at the door, and said unhappily, "I, your Miss, am perfectly fine. What's wrong?"

"Miss, disaster! Disaster! Our future son-in-law is here!" Qing Que, Shen Ling's personal maid, said with a worried face.

"What?" Hearing this, Shen Ling couldn't help but change her expression drastically: "Who brought the news? Is the news accurate?"

She liked her cousin Zhang Gaoqiu, and the two were intimate. They had already made a private commitment to each other. Now, suddenly hearing this news, she was immediately flustered.

"I heard the stewards and servants discussing it, so I came to inform Miss," Qing Que said.

Shen Ling put down the chess piece in her hand, her brows furrowed, and after a long while, she said, "Go and find out for me what the situation is with my fiancé."

"I have already inquired for Miss," Qing Que said.

"What did you find out?" Shen Ling asked.

"So country! Extremely country! He's wearing tattered clothes that only servants wear. He's completely a country bumpkin from the countryside," Qing Que said.

Hearing Qing Que's description, Jiang Nan's expression flickered slightly, revealing a subtle look: "Could it be him?"

"What to do? This is a big trouble! I am a dignified Miss of the Shen family, how can I marry a country bumpkin?" Shen Ling's face darkened, her eyes filled with anger.

"Congratulations, Sister Ling'er, I'm afraid a happy event is coming soon. I'll have to ask for a cup of wedding wine then," Jiang Nan said with a smile.

"Hmph, a country bumpkin from the north, I will not marry him! I have already made a private commitment with Brother Zhang Gaoqiu, how can I marry that country bumpkin! I am the first to disagree with this marriage!" Shen Ling suddenly stood up and overturned the chessboard: "Qing Que, lead the way, I'm going to warn that country bumpkin and tell him to have self-awareness and take the initiative to propose to break off the engagement."

Qing Que led the way, Shen Ling followed closely behind in a red dress, full of imposing manner. Jiang Nan, fearing that the two would cause something outrageous, quickly followed.

"Sister Shen Ling, don't act rashly. Everything can be discussed," Jiang Nan followed closely behind, quickly persuading Shen Ling: "This matter needs to be pleaded with good words. It would be best if the other party agrees to give up this marriage. If they don't agree to give up this marriage, it's not too late to think of other ways."

"You don't need to persuade me. A mere country bumpkin from the north, a criminal from the border, has no right to speak," Shen Ling's voice was full of toughness.

Then, the group of three came to Zhang Chen's residence with an imposing manner. Shen Ling kicked the door open: "Which one is Zhang Chen?"

Zhang Chen had just sent Shen Xu away and was standing in the courtyard thinking about the complicated matters of the Shen family when he suddenly saw the door being kicked open. He saw a familiar face, wearing fiery red clothes, rushing in from outside the door.

Looking at the girl in the red dress, Zhang Chen's mind subconsciously flashed with two white and round objects, and the blood in his heart couldn't help but stir slightly.

After Shen Ling saw Zhang Chen, she also recognized Zhang Chen's face, and suddenly a flush of red surged to her head, and then she suddenly drew her sword and rebuked: "Pervert! I didn't expect you to be hiding here. Watch me dig out your eyes."

Shen Ling's voice contained anger, and a pair of eyes seemed to be able to spew fire. The precious sword in her hand suddenly stabbed towards Zhang Chen.

This sword was fast and urgent, without any reservation. It passed through the air with a whistling sound, making Zhang Chen's eyelids twitch. He twisted his body and quickly avoided this imposing sword.

He knew that he was in the wrong, and he didn't dare to fight back, after all, he had seen the other party's big, white, and with a touch of black...

"Sister Ling'er, you must not do this!" At this moment, Jiang Nan chased in from outside the door. Seeing Shen Ling stabbing Zhang Chen with a sword, she couldn't help but shrink her pupils and quickly stepped forward to intercept her.

"Sister Jiang Nan, let me pass and let me stab this lecher to death," Shen Ling's voice was full of shame and anger.

She was a innocent girl, and she was seen naked by someone like this, how could she bear it? When had she, the eldest Miss of the Shen family, ever suffered such a loss!

"Sister Shen Ling, this person is a distinguished guest of the Shen family. If you injure him, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain it to the Old Madam. What feud do you have with him that you are drawing your sword against each other? If it spreads out, I'm afraid it will be..." Jiang Nan looked at Shen Ling and persuaded her, her voice full of warning.

Hearing Jiang Nan say that she had some feud with the other party, Shen Ling was immediately anxious. The whole person was ashamed and angry. How could she tell outsiders about this kind of thing?

Can't say it!

If she said it, her reputation would be completely ruined!

"Sooner or later, one day, I will gouge out your dog eyes! Where is Zhang Chen? Tell Zhang Chen to get out here!" Shen Ling returned her long sword to its sheath and said angrily.

She also knew that things couldn't be blown up, otherwise her reputation would be ruined.

"I am Zhang Chen!" Zhang Chen smiled wryly.

"You are Zhang Chen?" Shen Ling's expression turned even more livid upon hearing this: "As despicable and dirty as I imagined, as expected of a low-class thug from the frontier, only knowing how to do some dirty things that can't be put on the table. Wanting me to marry a small fry like you is simply wishful thinking!"

Zhang Chen immediately understood when he heard this. Could it be that the red-clothed girl in front of him was his fiancée?

Zhang Chen carefully looked at the woman at this time, and saw that her eyebrows were like distant mountains, like spring mountains containing emerald green, not thick and not light, just right; her eyes were like autumn water containing stars, and between her glances, there was a radiant brilliance, hiding endless spirituality. Her delicate nose was as beautiful as finely carved jade, small and exquisite. Her lips were like cherries, red without any rouge, and the slightly upturned arc seemed to have a spring breeze blowing, making people feel happy.

Her cloud-like hair was lightly tied up, and a few strands of hair fell on her fair and snow-white neck, making her skin even more radiant, delicate and smooth. She was wearing a red Luo skirt, and the corners of the skirt were embroidered with dots of broken flowers, gently swaying with her movements, like a butterfly fluttering in the flowers.

It was just that the arrogance high above her eyebrows and the condescending posture in the corners of her eyes destroyed that beauty.

"She's quite beautiful, a rare beauty, but she lacks Xie Lingyun's etherealness and the domineering aura of being in power, and she also lacks Jiang Nan's gentleness. The other party only has the valiant aura of a tomboy," Zhang Chen muttered in his heart.

However, Zhang Chen also reacted at this time, recalling the scene he saw in the dense forest that day, and secretly said in his heart: "My fiancée is mixed with other men, am I being cheated on?"

"Zhang Gaoqiu, Shen Ling, how did they two get together?" A trace of thought appeared in Zhang Chen's eyes. Listening to the girl's cursing sound on the opposite side, Zhang Chen came back to his senses and couldn't help but frown: "I said, if you want to talk, talk properly. A decent girl, the way you talk is too unpleasant. It really doesn't seem like a daughter educated by a high-ranking family like the Shen family. It's too vulgar!"

"You bastard, how dare you say I'm vulgar!!!!!" Shen Ling was suddenly angry when she heard this. Without saying a word, she drew her sword and suddenly stabbed towards Zhang Chen, but she was firmly pulled by Jiang Nan on the side: "Good sister, don't use knives or guns, talk things out properly. If you cause any trouble and hurt the other party, it won't be good. You can't explain it to the Old Madam!"

Shen Ling stopped when she heard this, pointed at Zhang Chen with her sword, her voice full of arrogance and anger: "Little bumpkin, I ask you, will you break off the engagement or not?"

Zhang Chen didn't get angry when he heard the other party calling him a little bumpkin, but he didn't get angry. His state of mind as a cultivator, coupled with being a person for two lives, how could his state of mind be shaken by a few swear words?

Hearing the other party's words, Zhang Chen was not annoyed, but just quietly looked at Shen Ling: "I don't know if I'm a bumpkin or not, but you look like a shrew making a lot of noise now. It looks no different from those scolding old women, I'm sorry for your upbringing."

"You actually said I'm a shrew!!!!!" Shen Ling was provoked by Zhang Chen and became angry, her eyes full of anger. The precious sword in her hand was about to be waved down again, but Jiang Nan on the side held her tightly: "Little sister, don't say it! Don't say it! Let's go back first, everything will naturally be decided by the elders. Let's not make trouble here."

Speaking of this, she helplessly stretched out her slender fingers and pointed at Zhang Chen: "You, ah, you, you are too unforgiving!"

After saying that, she pulled the exasperated Shen Ling away, leaving Zhang Chen standing in the courtyard in silence. "Well, the duck that got to my hand flew away, and the marriage bestowed by the family is probably going to fall through." Zhang Chen shook his head and laughed. He couldn't find what kind of woman he wanted. A mere Shen Ling, although the other party is white and big, but for Zhang Chen... it's really good-looking.

"It's just that the matter here is probably not that simple, involving all kinds of complicated key points." Zhang Chen scratched his head: "I'll take away the things my mother left behind first, and then pull my legs out of this quagmire of the Shen family. I'm too lazy to follow the orders of my parents and the words of the matchmaker."

"Brother, who is making noise in the courtyard?" At this moment, Zhang Tuowei walked out of the house and asked Zhang Chen.

"Just a shrew who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth," Zhang Chen replied casually.

Outside the door

Shen Ling, who had not gone far, pressed on the sword again, gritted her teeth and rushed back.
