Chapter 58

Soning Bing struggled desperately, but Suo Han Yi's strength was so great that she had no chance of breaking free. It seemed that her pure and innocent lips were about to be kissed by Suo Han Yi.

No, absolutely not! In a fit of anger and desperation, Soning Bing instinctively slapped him.

*Slap...* Her slap landed sharply on Suo Han Yi's handsome face.

Instantly, both of them were completely stunned.

Soning Bing looked at her own delicate hand in disbelief, unable to believe that she had actually slapped Suo Han Yi. She was so grateful to him, considering him like a real elder brother, even revering him.

Suo Han Yi, covering his face, felt no pain, but his entire heart was trembling. He stared at Soning Bing with wide eyes, unable to believe that he had lost control and tried to kiss her.

He also couldn't believe that the little sister who had always followed him, who had always admired and relied on him, would actually hit him.

At that moment, Suo Han Yi felt something inside him collapse. He began to doubt certain things in his heart, such as Soning Bing's feelings for him.

"I, I finally understand. I am just an outsider in the Suo family. You all just treat me like a dog of the Suo family," Suo Han Yi said, his voice trembling. "I thought only Suo Lun was like this, but you are the same."

"No, no..." Soning Bing burst into tears. "Big Brother, I really consider you like a real elder brother. Father also treats you like a real son."

"He only did that to make me a better dog for Suo Lun," Suo Han Yi shouted. "If he really considered me one of his own, why didn't he marry you to me? When I asked him to marry you, his face changed, and he hurriedly arranged a marriage for me, making me marry a woman I don't love at all."

With that, Suo Han Yi turned and walked out, saying, "Xiao Bing, your slap has awakened me. Don't worry, I will still protect the Suo family and Tian Shui City, to repay the Suo family for raising me. But from now on, I will understand my own identity."

Then, he left, and Soning Bing, crying and shouting, could not catch up.

That night, Suo Han Yi did not rush back to Tian Shui City. Instead, he stayed at a luxurious inn. Previously, to save money, he would rush back and forth, and even if he had to stay at an inn, he would never choose a room that cost dozens of silver coins per night.

"Everything is fake, everything is fake. She looks down on you. You are just a lowly peasant," Suo Han Yi kept drinking, getting thoroughly drunk.

Then, a graceful and charming woman walked in, softly saying, "Big Brother, you've had too much to drink."

Her posture and words reminded him of Soning Bing.

"Xiao Bing, Xiao Bing..." Suo Han Yi rushed forward and hugged her tightly, shouting, "Tell me, are your feelings for me all fake?"

"No, they are real. I fell in love with you the moment I saw you," the woman said.

The drunk Suo Han Yi could no longer control himself. He kissed her, pushed her onto the bed, and tore off her dress.

A moment later, passionate moans filled the room.

...

When Suo Han Yi woke up again, his head was pounding. He had drunk too much the previous night.

The woman beside him was gone, as if it had all been a dream. However, the lingering scent of perfume on his body told him that it wasn't a dream.

Who was this woman? It was definitely not Soning Bing. She seemed to be a classmate from the capital city's academy.

Suddenly, he noticed another person in the room.

Looking up, he saw the beautiful and charming Princess Zhi Ning, sitting in a chair with a slightly furrowed brow, indicating her dislike of the current environment.

Suo Han Yi immediately became alert, saying, "Princess, what can I do for you?"

"Nothing much, just wanted to meet you," Zhi Ning said, lightly covering her nose.

Suo Han Yi replied, "You are the greatest enemy of the Suo family. There is nothing good to talk about between us."

"When did the Suo family become yours?" Zhi Ning asked. "Why do you deceive yourself? In Soning Bing's eyes, in Suo Lun's eyes, you are just a dog of the Suo family. Don't think of yourself as one of them."

These words struck a nerve with Suo Han Yi, and his face changed.

Zhi Ning continued, "The Suo family is doomed, and Suo Lun is finished. You are an outstanding person and should not go down with the Suo family. I formally represent Prince Zhi Li to recruit you. Are you willing to become a direct-line commander of ten thousand cavalry in the kingdom?"

These words made Suo Han Yi's heart race.

A direct-line commander of ten thousand cavalry was a position that even a marquis's son might not obtain. Jian Ning, the son of Marquis Jian Yong, was even willing to give up his wife, and his final position was also a commander of ten thousand cavalry. Don't forget, Jian Ning was the heir to the marquisate.

Although Suo Han Yi now commanded an army of ten thousand, the ten thousand troops in Tian Shui City were not comparable to the elite cavalry of the Nulang Kingdom.

Once he became a commander of ten thousand cavalry in the Nulang Kingdom, he would become a prominent figure in the entire capital.

Although Suo Han Yi was famous and powerful in Tian Shui City, he might not be a significant figure in the Nulang Kingdom.

"I know you are a commoner, but you should also know that Prince Zhi Li values commoner elites the most, not those corrupt noble children. You are the future pillars of the kingdom," Zhi Ning said.

After the shock, Suo Han Yi laughed, saying, "Princess, you underestimate me. I am a proud and upright man, a pillar of the Suo family. My loyalty to the Suo family and my adoptive father is as clear as the sky and earth. You want to tempt me with wealth and honor? You must be dreaming!"

Then, he turned his back and said, "Princess, if there's nothing else, please leave. I need to bathe and change."

Zhi Ning frowned but said nothing, getting up and leaving.

Suo Han Yi suddenly asked, "Who was the woman last night?"

Zhi Ning replied, "Just an unimportant woman. You can enjoy her for free."

...

When Lan Ling woke up again, he found himself in a strange room.

The room was richly decorated, and it was clear that it had been a bridal chamber. However, the red paper cutouts had been removed.

Several strangely shaped barbarian women were tidying up the room, removing the red bed sheets and covers.

A few others were cleaning up the dried, black bloodstains on the floor.

"Dear, I've chosen a lucky day for us," Meng Tuoluo said. "In eight days, it will be the full moon, the perfect time for us to be married."

Lan Ling got up and looked at the barbarian women.

They looked different from normal humans, almost like incomplete evolutionary beings, and most frighteningly, they had bone spurs on their backs.

"Dear, what should I wear on our wedding day?" Meng Tuoluo asked, trying on different clothes in front of a mirror, her beautiful eyes filled with affection.

"You are so beautiful and have such a good figure. You will look good in anything," Lan Ling said with a smile.

"You have such a sweet mouth. No wonder many women fall in love with you, even knowing you are a playboy," Meng Tuoluo said. "But don't be too charming, or I might really fall in love with you."

When she said this, her eyes showed no flirtation or mockery, only indifference.

This made Lan Ling realize that her heart was like a still well, making it hard for her to truly love a man.

"Who sent you to kill me?" Lan Ling asked calmly. "Was it Zhi Ning?"

Meng Tuoluo smiled ambiguously, neither confirming nor denying, but Lan Ling already knew the answer.

It was strange. Zhi Ning shouldn't be in such a hurry to kill him. She would wait until after the final exam, when he had lost his title and land, to kill him, making it more justifiable.

"How many men have you married before me?" Lan Ling asked.

Meng Tuoluo counted on her fingers, her eyes briefly showing confusion, then said, "Thirteen. It's hard to find a truly handsome man these days. But you, Suo Lun, are one in a million. You are truly charming."

When she said "charming," she opened her eyes wide, trying to show her feelings.

However, her eyes remained as still as a well. This woman looked young, but her heart was like a deep well.

When she said "thirteen," she hesitated slightly. There was a story behind this.

Finding handsome men to marry and then draining their blood was undoubtedly perverse.

But no one is born perverse. Why would such a beautiful woman become perverse?

The only thing that could thoroughly hurt a woman and make her this perverse, turning her into a bloodthirsty bride and a black widow, was emotional trauma.

As a student of screenwriting, Lan Ling had some knowledge of psychology.

After a moment of silence, Lan Ling said, "It seems your first husband caused you great harm."

These words made Meng Tuoluo's body tremble, and she instinctively tore her beautiful dress with her hands.

"Hehe..." the black widow laughed. "Dear, you are good at telling stories. You just woke up and need to rest. I won't disturb you."

Clearly, she had been hit where it hurt and wanted to avoid it.

Lan Ling敏锐地意识到，这是他成功逃脱的突破口。但是，不能太心急。

黑寡妇梦陀罗直接离去，紧接着这些蛮人侍女也跟着离去，整个室内就只有兰陵一个人。

很安静，还带着淡淡的血腥味。这个房间，至少死了十二个人，这种血腥味怎么洗都洗不掉的。

兰陵闭上眼眸，道：“妖星，距离我的毕业大考，还有几天。”

“十八天。”妖星道。

过得怎么久？距离自己离开暗影蛛后的洞穴，竟然已经过去六天？

看来，这里距离暗影蛛后的洞穴很远。

八天之后，就要拜堂成亲了，到时候就是自己的死期了，在这八天之内，兰陵必须找到一条求生之路。

兰陵闭上眼睛，开始构思如何逃生之路？

凭着武力逃出去？这是不可能的，唯一的突破点，就是梦陀萝这个女人。

打破她的心防，直刺她的内心。

用更直接的话说，就是在八天时间内，征服这个女人，只有这样才能活下来。
