Buying Your Lives As these words were spoken, everyone in the room widened their eyes, having a sudden realization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Su Yuexi is the ugliest woman in all Yunzhou, and that man who was just mentioned is her criminal husband.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that explanation, everyone understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You see, the matter of Su Yuexi being bestowed in marriage by the Lord of Yunzhou was a huge embarrassment for the Su Family, spreading all over Yunye City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no one in the city who didn’t know about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it, to actually call Su Yuexi the number one beauty in the world, that’s disgusting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After everyone grasped what had happened, they couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of their mouths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was that criminal particularly skilled in disgusting people?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Lu Zhao had quietly retreated back into Heavenly Martial Pavilion, taking in a breath of cold air and said, “A criminal exiled, married off by the Lord of Yunzhou, with Martial Intent carved into a Green Jade Stone Plate that only a Transcendent Martial Artist could inscribe…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This person must be extraordinary, absolutely not to be offended; perhaps he has some special mission.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhao then recalled Sikong Jing’s warning—it was exactly: Some things should not be asked excessively, lest they bring about fatal misfortune…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shivering intensely, Lu Zhao tightened his grip on the Green Jade Stone Plate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He resolved to keep his lips sealed, the Green Jade Stone Plate that had fallen into his lap must rot in his stomach, and secretly he rejoiced!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Sikong Jing, carrying a hundred Gold Crystal Coins, headed back to the Su Residence on the same route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was approaching the Su Residence, he saw at the entrance of an ordinary mansion courtyard, his mother-in-law Mei Xiaofang pacing anxiously, as if waiting for something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Sikong Jing was about to approach and greet her, a well-dressed middle-aged woman came out from inside the mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mei Xiaofang quickly stopped walking, her face full of smiles as she said, “Oh Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu, how come you’ve only just come out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, her face was full of a flattering expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu’s face was full of aloofness, and she suddenly took out a small pouch from her bosom and said, “I have already heard about Lady Su’s situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here’s some money for you, and it doesn’t need to be returned.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, she threw out the small pouch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon catching it, Mei Xiaofang excitedly looked at Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu and said, “Thank you, I really appreciate it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have asked many of my former good sisters, but only you, Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu, were willing to help me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, she took her leave, and carefully opened the small money pouch…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, her excited expression stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mei Xiaofang turned around incredulously and stared blankly at Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu, “Ten, ten Copper Crystal Plates?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had come to borrow money, just as she had just told Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past few days, she had contacted many of her so-called good sisters, but each of them had either driven her out or made excuses to avoid seeing her; only Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu was willing to help her and even made the loan a gift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the small money pouch contained only ten Copper Crystal Plates, which wasn’t even enough to pay Aunt Li’s daily wage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu narrowed her eyes and asked with a cold laugh, “Not enough?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mei Xiaofang’s face turned red and she said, “Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu, I am not a beggar.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re not a beggar?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who is constantly begging for money if not a beggar?” Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu sneered again, then added, “Giving you ten Copper Crystal Plates is already saintly of me, take the money and get out of here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu turned around to go back inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a distance, Sikong Jing’s eyes reddened, a fire of anger burning in his heart—this Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu was too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to step forward and argue, Mei Xiaofang suddenly called out, “Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu, please lend me a little more money, otherwise my son-in-law will be driven to death tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, Sikong Jing’s footsteps halted, and he was as if struck by lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason Mei Xiaofang was begging Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu to lend money was because she feared being driven to death?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If within three days she couldn’t provide the wages for Aunt Li and other house servants, she would have to offer her own life, and her mother-in-law was implicitly hoping she would hurry and commit suicide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, for her own sake, she was humbly begging for money, even if it meant being treated as a beggar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Sikong Jing’s heart felt as if it were being squeezed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the gate, Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu was sneering repeatedly, “What does it matter to me whether your son-in-law lives or dies?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu still had an expression of utter heartlessness and ruthlessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If he dies, Yue Xi probably won’t survive either.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mei Xiaofang cried out miserably and rushed toward the gate, pleading, “Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu, you watched Yue Xi grow up too, please lend me some money, I will surely repay you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gate slammed shut, and Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu’s voice came from inside, “Don’t nauseate me with that freak.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang, bang, bang…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mei Xiaofang kept knocking heavily on the gate, shouting, “Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu, the Liu Family owes its wealth and status to my husband Su Zhenglong’s help, you cannot be so ungrateful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the gate of the Liu Family Mansion remained deathly silent, with no response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Falling to the ground, Mei Xiaofang eyed the ten Copper Crystal Plates in her hand, her heart filled with extreme anguish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Su Zhenglong was in his prime, everyone fawned over him for favors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The master of the Liu Family was initially just a mere blacksmith, whom Su Zhenglong had helped to rise to his position today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, all she got in return was being called a beggar and the heartless sound of a slamming door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, Mei Xiaofang left despondently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after she had gone did the Liu Family’s gate reopen, and Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu, arm in arm with a middle-aged man, emerged chuckling coldly, “Husband, I finally drove that beggar hag away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But giving her ten Copper Crystal Plates, won’t that displease Su Zhengtao, the Second Young Master Su?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man was her husband, Liu Neng, who just laughed loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How could that be?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Second Young Master Su would be too pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten Copper Crystal Plates to humiliate his sister-in-law might even infuriate his big brother Su Zhenglong to death, which is a bargain!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Liu Neng sighed again, “It’s a pity Su Yue Xi is just too unsightly now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she had the looks she did ten years ago…tsk tsk, I would have definitely made her my concubine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu giggled, teasing, “Darling, if she remained that pretty, she wouldn’t even be available for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Su Yue Xi had grown up beautifully without becoming unsightly, she would have been eagerly sought after long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s true, but covered with a veil, her figure isn’t bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Su Zhenglong is dead, it might be nice to have her come over for some fun.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, let’s get dressed quickly and go to see Second Young Master Su for our reward.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Liu Neng spoke, he shut the door again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as they turned around, they saw a young man standing in the courtyard, who appeared suddenly, eerily unnerving, like the angel of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am Su Yue Xi’s husband, Sikong Jing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sikong Jing’s tall figure brought a gust of frosty wind, his eyes brimming with murderous intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the sound of a Gold Crystal Coin hitting the ground echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One Gold Crystal Coin, in exchange for your ten Copper Crystal Plates, and with the rest, I buy your lives.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Sikong Jing moved swiftly, grabbing both their necks and with a snap, he broke them instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Neng and his wife died with eyes wide open.\u003C\u002Fp>",1361,"2026-06-06T08:51:41.865Z",1,"novelbin.me","6152414e519abaaf42b75a5d0d9695ccdb14542bc2aedae9d80e384217445ddf","berserk-god-of-war-chapter-24","berserk-god-of-war-chapter-22",1881,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fberserk-god-of-war-cover.jpg"]
