The two-year employment period passed by in a hurry. On the first day of the next month after the expiration, Shao Kefan took the last antidote from Shu Zhen and pointed to the five boxes in the center of the hall.
Shu Zhen's eyes lit up, and then he returned to indifference. He walked to the box, drew his sword and waved, all five locks fell to the ground, and the sword lifted the lid of the box. Sure enough, it was the green and transparent high-quality jade promised.
On the middle finger and ring finger of her right hand, there are soul-calling bells that belong to her.
"Can you take away so much jade by yourself?" Shao Kefan glanced at the jade in the box lightly. He had grown up among jade piles since he was a child, and he had long turned a blind eye.
"Yes." As soon as he finished speaking, Shu Zhen raised his sword and swung at Meiyu.
The guards on both sides of the hall were immediately dumbfounded.
"No, that's jade!" The old servant who specially served the king in front of the throne opened his arms and rushed towards the box.
"Seeking death!" Shao Kefan yelled and flicked his thumb and middle finger at the slave. The slave's body was blocked by the white airflow and fell onto the king's soft couch next to the throne, saving a small life.
The sword light was everywhere, and green powder was flying. After a while, the five boxes of beautiful jade were all turned into powder, and they were piled together, shining with green light.
Shu Zhen put away his sword and stood beside the pile of jade, with a slightly thoughtful expression on his face.
"Why is this?" Shao Kefan was calm and composed, but he was a little confused.
"Tell the king, jade can nourish people." After saying this, Shu Zhen took off the soul-calling bell and placed it in the center of the powder pile. As if being pulled by an invisible force, the jade powder flew into the bell one after another, but the size of the bell remained the same.
Same as before.
After all the jade powder is inhaled, the color of the soul-calling bell becomes brighter.
Shu Zhen wrapped the Soul-Calling Bell around the middle finger and ring finger of his right hand again. The face, whose beauty was only lower than that of Jian Xin, actually changed slightly. It seemed to be more delicate and more beautiful.
Shao Kefan suddenly realized.
"How old are you now?" He couldn't help but wonder about Shu Zhen's age.
"Report to the king, Shu Zhen is already eighty-three years old. After the age of twenty-seven, his appearance is maintained by jade."
The guards and servants who came back to their senses couldn't help but marvel.
"Good!" Shao Kefan praised loudly. He had never seen such a wonderful method of preserving beauty. Before that, he had to learn the art of separation of human souls and create a soul-calling bell, which was really an extremely difficult task.
"The civilian daughter has completed her mission and bids farewell to the king." Shu Zhen still lowered his head slightly as before, his eyes as dead as a tomb.
With her dual identity as the number one assassin and number one bodyguard in the Wild Abyss, if another country hires her to do something, she is really a threat that cannot be underestimated.
In the past two years, countless masters have died under her sword, which has relieved Cang Teng of many worries. However, if she no longer works for Cang Teng, she will be the only worry to the monarchs of other countries.
Shao Kefan raised his eyebrows and said, "You have done everything perfectly. I still want to hire you. How about that?"
The corners of Shu Zhen's mouth raised, but he was smiling, "Please forgive me, the king. The same master, Shu Zhen disobeyed twice."
Shao Kefan's heart sank, but he still said calmly, "Otherwise, you will be my enemy."
"Shu Zhen kills people like crazy and has too many enemies. It doesn't hurt to have one more enemy." The murderous aura in Shu Zhen's eyes grew stronger, and he clenched the green sword tightly in his hand.
"You can't beat me, I will destroy the beauty you have worked so hard to maintain." Shao Kefan stabbed her weak spot with a sarcastic smile on his face.
Worry and surprise flashed across those gray eyes.
She knew that she really couldn't defeat Lord Cang Teng. She only loved money for the sake of her appearance, and if her appearance was ruined, it would mean death to her.
"You will not obey the same master twice. This is the rule set by the master. Shu Zhen does not dare to violate the rule."
Shu Zhen's tone was a little softer, and it could be heard that she was considering it.
"Kneeling is a rule established by our ancestors. Anyone who does not kneel will be killed without mercy. However, I have abolished it. Your disobedience to the teacher's instructions can be said to be insignificant compared to what I have done."
King Cang Teng raised his head with a stern look in his eyes. Dressed in red, his coldness and arrogance were even more compelling, even worse than in white.
Shu Zhen frowned slightly, his expression hesitant.
It seems that she is just a slave to beauty. Once her appearance is threatened, her expression will no longer be like a pool of stagnant water.
"Shu Zhen, once mastered, never obey twice."
However, she still said these words coldly, turned around and left.
The guard quickly stepped forward to stop him, swung his green sword, and after a few moves, the corpses were in a mess.
King Cang Teng's eyes suddenly showed murderous intent. He put his hand on his belt and said "transform". The belt turned into a phantom sword and swung it towards Shu Zhen sharply.
Shu Zhen was on guard, drew his sword out of its sheath, and flew forward to fight.
In the Qiming Palace, swords and shadows intertwined, and rays of light flashed. The red and blue clothes were like a startled glimpse.
Both of their expressions were very calm, and their ears were exceptionally sensitive.
The combination of the Fanhui Curse and the Phantom Sword barely managed to defeat Shu Zhen. After three hundred moves, she was pointed condescendingly to the ground by the Phantom Sword, but she was unscathed.
"You are the third powerful opponent I have encountered after Lord Qifeng and the Protector." The Phantom Sword moved upward from her heart, and finally stopped on that beautiful face.
It's unbelievable that this woman has lived in this world for eighty-three years, even though her voice sounds a bit old.
Her eyes filled with intense sadness, then gradually disappeared, returning to a suffocating silence.
"Kill me! It's good to live without worries, but it also proves that it has nothing to do with this world." Shu Zhen closed his eyes, and his voice was extremely desolate for a moment.
Shao Kefan was stunned, "I said that I will destroy your face."
"Then destroy it, and I will end it on my own later."
"If you serve this king, just pretend that what just happened never happened." The tip of the phantom sword barely touched her face. If it came even a little closer, her decades of hard work would be wasted.
"Shu Zhen will not obey his master twice. Master is kind to me, and I cannot break his promise."
Shu Zhen suddenly grasped the blade of the sword and wanted to stab himself in the face regardless of the blood on his palm.
Shao Kefan was secretly shocked. It was too late to stop her. At the critical moment, he kicked her body away and cut off a bunch of her hair with the sword.
Shu Zhen used the power of the pillar to bounce back. He couldn't stabilize his body for a moment and half-knelt on the ground. "Didn't the king want Shu Zhen to die?"
"You are a man of your word. I want you to swear that you will not do anything for anyone that will endanger Cang Teng's interests. In this case, I can let you go."
Shao Kefan faced the throne and said quietly.
Shu Zhen stood up not far away from him and sneered, "It turns out that the king is also afraid sometimes."
"Haha, it's just that for me, the fewer threats, the better. It will save a lot of trouble." Lord Cang Teng turned to face her, "You are a big threat, and you should be proud of it."
"What does that mean?" Behind the black veil, Shu Zhen frowned.
"You will understand when the time comes." An unpredictable smile appeared on Shao Kefan's lips, "You can consider swearing."
Shu Zhen hesitated for a moment, raised her right hand, and said coldly, "I, Wang Shuzhen, will not do anything to harm Cang Teng's interests for anyone during my lifetime. If it is violated..." She stopped and looked at Cang Teng expressionlessly.
The king should decide the consequences.
"If you violate your oath, you will die at the hands of Lord Cang Teng and be completely changed beyond recognition. Just now, I did not take your life or disfigure your appearance. Your life and appearance were given by me."
Shu Zhen was startled and continued, "If you violate your oath, you will die at the hands of Lord Cang Teng and your appearance will be completely disfigured."
After swearing, he said no more goodbye and walked out of the door. A new group of guards came in and tried to stop her, but Shao Kefan stopped and said, "Let her go!"
A trace of complicated emotions flashed through Shu Zhen's eyes.
When she was seven years old, she witnessed her parents being chopped into pieces. She became extremely psychologically distorted from then on, but she still had normal feelings and longed for love. When she was twenty, she had her first lover, whom she stayed with for two years.
, but one evening, unable to restrain her murderous urge, she killed her lover with her own hands and chopped him into a pile of meat.
This became a pain that was difficult for her to heal.
After she regained her composure, she hurriedly found the place where her lover was killed, only to find several wolves licking their mouths and leaving, leaving nothing on the ground.
In order to get rid of the desire to kill, she once went to the evil lady. Through those dead eyes, the evil lady saw a bloody, violent, and heartless heart. She shook her head and sighed, "I can't help you, why don't you suspend the killer mission?"
Maybe it would help to find a quiet place to live for a few years."
She really found a quiet place and lived there for two years, feeling a little more at peace.
When she was twenty-five years old, she had a second lover and thought she would never do the same thing again. However, one evening, the innocent lover suffered the same fate.
The pain of her parents and her lover tortured her all the time, making her heart more and more twisted and closed. She no longer sought change, she just thought that if she loved someone, the other person must be stronger than herself. In this way, when she went crazy, she would
Not enough to kill him.
When she heard that Lord Cang Teng possessed the Phantom Sword, possessed the Fanhui Curse and the seventh level of Moyun Magic, she wanted to meet him, but unexpectedly he took the initiative to give her a chance to protect his beloved woman.
When she saw him for the first time, although she didn't show any emotion, her heart was startled.
This is the man she wants most.
Over the past two years, her love has gradually grown, but her eyes, which were indifferent and lifeless and covered with murderous ashes, perfectly concealed her thoughts.
When the two-year employment period expired, he wanted to make another agreement. She was surprised and happy in her heart. However, her master had a saying: one master cannot be followed twice.
She could only insist on leaving, even though he threatened to disfigure her.
Beauty is the most important thing in her life.
The former lovers have been reincarnated long ago. Although they are found, their current appearance is destined to be old and scattered. Their current situation is destined to have children and grandchildren. Their wives are destined to be by their side.
She kept it for herself.
She would rather be disfigured than betray her master's rules.
In the end, he kept her appearance as long as she swore an oath. With her unique character, how could she swear easily.
Just because she cares about him.
He is for the benefit of Cang Teng Country, and Cang Teng is his world.
After leaving, I'm afraid he will always be concerned about this place. He already has a beloved woman. Besides, a king cannot love a killer with bloody hands and endless slaughter.
After walking out of the heavy iron gate of the palace, the sadness of leaving came to his heart that had been dusted for a long time. Shu Zhen paused, then immediately stepped away, heading in a random direction.
On the middle finger and ring finger of her right hand, the soul-calling bell that locked her and raised her was still wrapped around it.
The next employer, no matter where she is, will find her, and the salary will still be a large amount of jade. The employer knows that she only loves jade.
Shao Kefan swung his sword and before he could scream, the old slave Zhan Shuzhen died instantly.
He shouldn't have seen him cast the Fanhui Curse.
He liked Prince Ling's pride in thinking that his Fanhui Curse had been lifted.
The new guards who came in quickly bowed their heads and said, "Please forgive me, the king."
"You are innocent, how can you forgive me?"
"Thank you King."
"Clean up the corpse." He dropped the sentence and cast the invisibility spell, and the person disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Yes." Facing the void, the guards still respectfully replied in unison.
