Chapter 298: Not Your Average Savage

"It is the bridal chamber on the wedding night!"

Under the combined effect of Mirror Flower Water Moon and Floating Life Like a Dream, Ren Jiangning's dreamscape was filled with dazzling red, and by the candlelight, a slender figure could be seen sitting on the edge of the bed.

Seeing such a scene, Shen Yu immediately formed a judgment.

Pushing open the door, Ren Jiangning walked in wearing wedding attire with a smile on his face, and walked to the side of the bride.

"My wife!"

A voice, deep and filled with barely suppressible excitement, rang out, causing the woman sitting on the edge of the bed to shudder violently; she appeared extremely nervous.

Gradually, Ren Jiangning reached out his hand, and the bride's veil was lifted, revealing a fair, stunningly beautiful face—it was Ruyan from the Drunken Spring Pavilion.

To marry Ruyan in his dreams; looking at it this way, Ren Jiangning truly loved her.

"My wife, let us drink the nuptial wine!"

In the dream, Ren Jiangning picked up two cups of wine, each took one, and they looked at each other and smiled.

The entire scene was warm and sweet, a talented man and a beautiful woman, as if they were a match made in heaven; everything was so harmonious and wonderful.

Could this be what Ren Jiangning truly desired in his heart—to fly away with Ruyan and live a happy life from then on?

However, after finishing the wine, Ruyan's eyes immediately became unfocused, and she slumped onto the bed.

Looking at Ruyan on the bed, Ren Jiangning revealed a smile that was not quite a smile; that expression made him seem like a stranger, making one feel inexplicably afraid, as if the hair on one's body were about to stand on end!

"Husband, you, what are you doing?"

"You ask what I am doing? You have been acting high and mighty in front of me every day. We have known each other for so many years; even a block of ice should have been melted by now!"

"But you, even now you won't let me touch you. You should look at what kind of thing you are!"

"You are nothing but a Chess Piece for others. You and I are both Chess Pieces; who is better than whom? That I was targeted and controlled by them is all thanks to you, yet you have always treated me with cold disdain!"

"Ruyan, I am at least the heir to the Hou Mansion. Me touching you is your honor; you should be grateful!"

"You!" She struggled to open her eyes, which were already completely unfocused, and stared tightly at him, as if she were meeting him for the first time.

"That is exactly the look; I love that look of yours—disappointment, despair, disbelief. It is truly exciting!"

Reaching out, he grabbed her fair face, and Ren Jiangning gave a cold laugh. "Anyone who dares to look down on me must pay the price. This is the price!"

"Do you know? You once said you wanted to marry someone who loved you, for the two of you to be loving and respectful to each other, but I simply will not let you have your way!"

"I married you into my home just so that one day, I could trample your fake high-mindedness under my feet and bully you as I please!"

Having said this, Ren Jiangning began to roughly strip off her clothes. Sounds of struggle and humiliated sobbing immediately echoed in the room.

At the same time, Ren Jiangning's ear-piercing laughter echoed, making one feel a wave of irritation.

This scene was too beautiful; Shen Yu really dared not look. He was, after all, a new-era youth who had received a good education.

But this Ren Jiangning was truly not what he seemed. The person was already married into his home, yet he still wanted to use force and act like this—what kind of person was he?

It is unknown how much time passed before the scene before his eyes vanished, replaced by a military camp with a forest of blades and spears.

And in front of Ren Jiangning stood his father, the former Southern Guard Commander, the Marquis of Nanhua.

What was this about? What other thoughts were hidden in Ren Jiangning's heart?

Just then, as Ren Jiangning waved his hand, countless blades and spears were pointed directly at the Marquis of Nanhua.

"You, you all!"

"Father, is it very surprising? These are the troops you have led for over a decade. Now, they are all willing to pledge their loyalty to me!"

"As long as I give the order, even if it is you, they will charge forward without hesitation to kill you! Even if I ordered them to die, they would commit suicide without a second thought!"

"Ning'er, you are indeed formidable. Father understands; tell them to put away their blades and spears!"

"Put them away? Why should I put them away?" With a cold laugh, Ren Jiangning looked up at him, revealing the exact same expression he had when facing Ruyan.

"Father, why don't you understand? If you do not die, how can I inherit the position of the Marquis of Nanhua? Do you know that you are truly an eyesore!"

"Ning'er, you! Why?"

"You ask why? I have long wanted to kill you. After my mother died, I wanted to kill you and that bitch!"

"It has been over a decade. I waited for over a decade and finally got my chance. First that bitch, and now you. After you both die, all of this will be mine!"

His ferocious face was filled with ambition; at this moment, Ren Jiangning revealed all the emotions he had suppressed deep within his heart for so long.

"Ning'er, you!" Seeming to have realized something, the Marquis of Nanhua's eyes were filled with disbelief. "The matter of the Marchioness, was that your doing?"

"That is correct, it was me, all me!"

Seeming to particularly enjoy the look in the Marquis of Nanhua's eyes, especially that expression of agony and disbelief, Ren Jiangning found it sweet.

"Over a decade ago, I obtained a miraculous technique. Not only can it use secret arts to rapidly increase one's cultivation, but it also has the miraculous effect of repairing damaged origins!"

"That bitch had her origins damaged, and she was so desperate to have a child, so I edited this miraculous technique and then cleverly let her obtain it!"

"Your good wife, in order to repair her origins, went to great lengths to scrape together so many children, but until the very end, she never knew that all of this was actually just making a wedding dress for me!"

Releasing his aura without reservation—an aura almost identical to that of the Marchioness of Nanhua—he made the Marquis of Nanhua's expression turn very ugly.

"She also did not know that from the moment she began practicing that miraculous technique, her Life and Death were already in my hands!"

"I could easily turn her entire cultivation into my own; I could take everything from her!"

"If it weren't for that Shen Yu interfering halfway, causing my plan to deviate, and not absorbing her essence before your good wife died, it was truly a waste of quite a bit. Otherwise, how would I only be a Grandmaster!"

"Ning'er, the Marchioness was so good to you; how could you commit such a vicious act?"

"Good to me? Hahaha, Ren Jianghe, are you pretending to be stupid or are you truly stupid? Do you think that is possible!"

Looking coldly at him, Ren Jiangning seemed to want to release all his grievances. The long-term suppressed environment had already driven him almost to the point of madness.

"Do you know how I have lived these years? Do you know?"

"When I was young, the food I ate every day was the leftovers from the servants, and I would go hungry one meal and be full the next. Just because I accidentally broke a porcelain vase, I was punished by being made to kneel in the snow wearing only a thin garment!"

"If I hadn't had a tough life, I would never have lasted until today! Tell me, does she deserve to die? Do you deserve to die!"

"Ning'er, Father truly did not know you had these years... ugh, ugh!"

"Put away your hypocrisy; I do not want to see it!" Grabbing him by the throat, he lifted him up in one motion, and no matter how the other struggled, he could not break free from his grip.

"Do you know why I'm saying so much nonsense to you? It's because I want to make you regret, I want to make you heartbroken. The more you are like that, the more excited I get!"

"Rest assured, I will not forgive you. I want you to die carrying regret, hahaha!"

"Hiss!" Seeing this, and then hearing this laughter, it truly makes one's blood run cold.

It couldn't be seen, but Ren Jiangning, who appeared quiet and gentle on the surface, had actually become so twisted inside. What he desired most in his heart was actually that kind of pleasure from revenge!

On his wedding night, he used force. When he achieved fame and success, he killed his father. This Ren Jiangning is truly not just ordinarily fierce; he's a pervert, right!
