Dragon's Origin

The shock wasn't limited to the second red-clothed woman; almost everyone who witnessed the scene was astonished.

Among the women present, nearly every one was associated with the Triumphant Palace. A small fraction of them cultivated this technique, while the rest had daily contact with those practicing the Everlasting Spring Heart Sutra. Moreover, after interacting with each other along the way, how could they not know what kind of technique the Everlasting Spring Heart Sutra was?

It was precisely because everyone knew the Everlasting Spring Heart Sutra that so many people were surprised. You had to know that the second red-clothed woman had at least a seventh-realm cultivation. Although she hadn't entered the seventh realm for long, she had genuinely leveled up through combat. It was common knowledge that Tantai Yao was the Hidden Hall Master, specializing in the Everlasting Spring Heart Sutra. How could she possibly subdue a seventh-realm expert with one hand?

However, this was clearly not the right time to get to the bottom of things. Amidst their surprise, everyone looked towards Wang Sheng, to see how the Marquis of Chang Sheng, Wang Sheng, would deal with these two women.

The two red-clothed women had been captured and brought together. They struggled and writhed intensely, but under the control of several female experts of roughly equal cultivation, they couldn't make any other movements besides twisting and turning.

“Debts have debtors, grievances have those responsible.” Wang Sheng walked in front of the two women, not guarding against the surrounding female experts at all, and simply said to them, “Are you looking for the wrong person?”

“You villain! Who else could it be but you?” The two women seemed to realize that there was no hope of survival and began to curse loudly.

“I can understand.” Wang Sheng nodded, speaking rather gently, “You yourselves were forcibly taken, but you always feel that a night of marriage brings a hundred days of grace, and a hundred days of marriage is as deep as the sea. You must be seeking revenge because your husbands were killed. However, I would like to ask, I was just doing business properly, so why would someone come to my door to rob me by force, and not allow me to resist?”

“You possess a mountain of gold, but you can't guard it. Who else is to blame?” One of the red-clothed women sneered at Wang Sheng, “You can only blame yourself for being incompetent!”

“That makes sense!” Wang Sheng retorted unhurriedly, “But I did guard it, so you people who didn't manage to rob me have to die. That logic isn't wrong, right?”

The two red-clothed women were immediately at a loss for words. Actually, if they really wanted to argue, the Triumphant Kingdom had no reason. But the two women insisted on twisting the principles of the jungle, so Wang Sheng used the same logic in return. They really didn't have the eloquence to make Wang Sheng speechless. Instead, they themselves had nothing to say.

“Among you, are there any others with similar thoughts?” Wang Sheng raised his voice and shouted to all the women present, “If there are, step forward. I, as a Marquis, guarantee that I will not make things difficult for you.”

Out of the six hundred-plus women, not a single one stepped forward. Everyone had almost the same experience. How many would really feel that they should avenge the man who forced and occupied them? Only these two who were out of their minds would do such a thing.

“Do you think we're all fools?” The second red-clothed woman wore a sneer on her face, “You'll never know who else harbors resentment towards you. Someday, someone will take your life.”

“You two don't even have the courage to live for yourselves. I pity you.” Wang Sheng's voice mercilessly drilled into their ears and hearts, “You were coerced, raped, and abused, but not only did you not dare to resist, you actually obeyed the man who bullied you. You're not happy that he died; instead, you want to avenge him. You are destined to be a slave who is trampled underfoot and taken into the tomb even after death. People like you are simply a disgrace.”

“Look at your sisters around you. Have they ever given up resisting?” Wang Sheng made no secret of his contemptuous gaze and voice, “Even if they can't win, they will secretly struggle, resist, and wait for an opportunity. Compare yourselves to them. Are you worthy?”

These words made the surrounding women's eyes turn red. They had suffered so much from being coerced and raped over the years, and finally, someone clearly stated it and understood them.

As for the two red-clothed women, how could they dare to meet Wang Sheng's eyes? Apart from the hateful gaze still in their eyes, they didn't dare to look up again. The gazes of the surrounding women made them feel utterly ashamed.

“I said I wouldn't make things difficult for you, and I won't.” Wang Sheng shook his head, “Just two empty shells without souls. Send them out of the mansion and let them go wherever they want!”

After speaking, Wang Sheng walked back to the chair in the central hall and sat down, quietly waiting for the women to send the people away.

Tantai Yao looked at Wang Sheng with some surprise, then lowered her head to look at the two controlled red-clothed women, and gave Rose a look.

Rose immediately understood and walked a few steps forward to the first red-clothed woman, slowly squatting down and saying to her, “The Marquis is magnanimous and is letting you out of the mansion. However, let me tell you, there is only one outcome for you once you leave this mansion. The people from Tang, Xia, and Feng will capture you again. Without the Marquis's protection, you will only wish you were dead!”

With a soft sound, a look of pain and disbelief appeared on the red-clothed woman's face. She stared blankly at Rose.

Rose remained unmoved, simply inserting the short sword, which originally belonged to the red-clothed woman, deeper into her, while saying, “You have let down so many of our sisters' suffering over the years. Since you can't let go of your dead husband, then I will personally send you to see him, so you don't have to suffer anymore.”

After speaking, Rose suddenly pulled out the short sword, and the red-clothed woman's blood immediately splattered all over Rose. But Rose didn't dodge at all, just staring at the red-clothed woman's eyes until her unwilling gaze slowly dissipated.

Throughout the entire process, the female experts holding down the red-clothed woman didn't relax at all, as if everyone felt the same way.

Tantai Yao also slowly walked to the second red-clothed woman, standing in place, looking down at the woman and shaking her head coldly, “Did you hear that? Go on your way in peace!”

With a slap, Tantai Yao heavily struck the red-clothed woman's forehead. The red-clothed woman didn't even struggle, and her body softly slumped down.

Seeing this scene, Wang Sheng remained expressionless, but Mei'er's eyes showed more smiles. Tantai Yao and Rose's actions were like two certificates of allegiance, tying them firmly to Wang Sheng, which made Mei'er even more relieved.
