Chapter 1818

Chen Churan's plan failed; she couldn't handle Shang Hongchen, the strength gap was too great, so the scene she imagined didn't happen, leaving her unable to violently beat Shang Hongchen, unable to take revenge on Chen Chuyang, and unable to make her second brother feel heartbroken.

At the end, the one feeling uneasy was still herself; Chen Churan couldn't bear it, ran back to her room to reflect, wondering why this happened, why Shang Hongchen's cultivation rose so quickly; logically, her cultivation should have risen fast enough, no one could surpass her, and with the Spirit Sword Sect's full support, her swordsmanship and strength would surely overwhelm Shang Hongchen; who would have thought this woman would surpass her in cultivation and even use cultivation to forcibly Protector herself.

This feeling of being stifled, Chen Churan truly felt uneasy; in the past she always used cultivation to Protector others, never expecting that one day others would treat her this way; that feeling was truly uneasy, truly stifled.

"Why is this happening? How could Shang Hongchen's cultivation surpass mine?"

"Impossible, it shouldn't be like this; my plan failed, my second brother and them already knew this would happen, that's why he didn't stop me; he deliberately wanted to see me feel stifled."

"Damn it, I can't just let this go; I must make my second brother feel uneasy, I must make him pay a price."

Chen Churan couldn't accept all this; she wanted Chen Chuyang to pay a price, couldn't deal with her second brother, couldn't deal with Shang Hongxue, couldn't deal with Shang Hongchen, and other women were increasingly opponents; among the women she knew of her second brother, Shang Hongchen appeared the weakest on the surface, while most of those other women she had dealt with.

For example, Zhuge Ruolan of the Yin Gui Sect, Jing Yuheng, Qi Ruohua—none are easy to deal with; plus Hu Jiuwei of the Fox Clan, that woman is the most formidable, someone she cannot provoke; even the Spirit Sword Sect dare not provoke her, let alone her alone.

"Huff, should I stay or leave in disgrace?"

If she goes back, they'll laugh at her for a lifetime, and her face will be completely lost.

But if she stays here, she might be unable to take revenge, also unable to……

Wait, perhaps she could find a way for Shang Hongchen to quickly increase cultivation, swiftly raise her own cultivation, then wouldn't she be able to get revenge?

Today's humiliation, she must take revenge, cannot just let it go.

"Good, let's do that; once I find her method to quickly increase cultivation, then surpass her, finally humiliate her, making my second brother feel heartache."

While Chen Churan was secretly plotting her next plan, Chen Chuyang wore a satisfied smile, gave Shang Hongchen a thumbs-up, and praised: "Madam, impressive; I never thought you knew how to use cultivation to Protector my younger sister; I thought you would insist on Protector cultivation and eventually choose to admit defeat."

At equal cultivation, Shang Hongchen is no match for Chen Churan; whether swordsmanship or sword Dao comprehension, none are a match.

Shang Hongchen gave Chen Chuyang a sideways glance; she knew exactly what he meant—he was mocking her swordsmanship as inferior to Chen Churan's, saying she needed to use cultivation to Protector in order to defeat her; but she had won, and that's a fact no one can change.

"Husband, if you have something to say, just say it directly; no need to beat around the bush."

"Madam, your swordsmanship is truly poor; even my younger sister can't match you, your sword Dao talent is not great, not like……" Chen Chuyang's words were half true, half false, probing; he naturally wanted to gauge the lady's thoughts, her sword Dao talent was decent, just a bit lacking compared to the genius Chen Churan.

Even Chen Qinger can't match her; if she persists in obsessively training sword Dao, her achievements may not be high.

She could never surpass Chen Churan in a lifetime; sword Dao requires talent, any path is the same; Shang Hongchen could fully choose what she's good at, rather than stubbornly clinging to sword Dao, which is just one kind.

"No, I think my sword Dao talent is not bad." Shang Hongchen insisted.

"Husband, don't think you can make me give up sword Dao; I don't believe it, I, Shang Hongchen, still can't master sword Dao."

"I can definitely surpass Chen Churan; if I can't even match you, husband, how could I not match Chen Churan?"

"I don't believe it; with my determination, I can definitely surpass her."

Shang Hongchen clenched her fists, full of confidence; she would not give up, nor would she just quit.

Having chosen this path, she must continue; talent alone, she feels she has it, that's enough; practicing sword Dao requires strong self-confidence and also believing in herself.

"Eh?" Chen Chuyang blinked, not knowing what to say; he couldn't keep attacking Shang Hongchen.

"Alright, madam, if you want to persist, then keep persisting; I, as your husband, await your good news."

In that case, he also supports Shang Hongchen; being able to continue on a path is also a kind of talent.

Those who give up halfway will do this in anything, and also think this way.

As for him, he will naturally stand on the lady's side.

Shang Hongchen looked at Chen Chuyang in surprise, corners of her mouth turning up: "I thought you wouldn't support me."

Her tone also became gentle; her whole person changed, exuding a special aura.

She stepped forward, linked arms with Chen Chuyang, and affectionately said: "Husband, over the next few days, you should keep me company."

While speaking, she didn't forget to provoke Shang Hongxue: "I'll take your man away for a few days; you can't stop us."

Shang Hongxue gave a hehe laugh: "Do as you like; if you enjoy it, stay a few more days; as long as you can bear it, I don't care."

This is just right; since Shang Hongchen has confidence, let her face things alone; a woman who wants to eat alone also needs strength; if you can, I don't care.

"Husband, you see, Hongxue has no objection; come with me." Shang Hongchen didn't need Chen Chuyang's nod of agreement; she directly took him back to the room.

Chen Chuyang felt helpless, could only comply obediently.

It's rare for Shang Hongchen to be this proactive; after all these years, it's still the first time, naturally he couldn't let her down; Chen Chuyang knew this woman wanted to increase cultivation, wanted to continually suppress his younger sister Chen Churan, must pay some price; bitter cultivation makes gains hard, only by seeking Chen Chuyang's help could she improve faster.

The increase in cultivation is what brings the most peace of mind.

Shang Hongxue shook her head: "Shang Hongchen has become smarter, knowing to start seeking her husband's help; before, she just loved acting too much, clearly she liked it but pretended not to."

"Those who pretend finally feel the pressure; this time, she takes the initiative for the first time, letting her enjoy her husband all to herself."

She doesn't mind at all, nor will she care; within a day, Shang Hongchen will surely seek her help.

That woman, from head to toe, is just a tough mouth; in other aspects, she's no good.

She knows Shang Hongchen too well; at critical moments, she drops the chain, and this time is no exception.
