Chen Chu Chu did not say anything, she too did not want to keep sticking to Fu Shu Chang, only she knew how hard it was for her to keep him next to her. The man though he listened silently to her, he was very resistant to her pursuits, he would help her in her work and even let her drag him around in the military premise to let everyone see the two of them together but when it came to getting close to each other, the man was very resistant and stubborn.
She still remembered how he kicked her out of his bed when she tried to climb in it. He looked coldly at her and muttered, ' I can't do anything against you since you have my lifeline in your hands but don't think that I will let you do as you wish either.'
Back then she was so furious that she wanted to kill Fu Shu Chang but the more stubborn he was, the more she wanted him.
" I will think about it." Though her mouth seemed to be agreeing Chen Xi knew that Chen Chu Chu was still pinning for Fu Shu Chang. She could see the stubbornness in the eyes of her sister, and seeing that her sister did not agree with her, Chen Xi could only sigh.
Chen Chu Chu was very confident in her magic skills, she was someone who could charm men when she was not even this beautiful and now that she was this good-looking, it was impossible for a man to not fall in love with her, what was more she has worked this hard to win over Fu Shu Chang already how can she drop the matter like this?
After investing so many years in that man, she has to see some results!
What was even more important was that there was no other man like Fu Shu Chang, he was smart, talented and even knew what she was doing. His loyalty towards his wife despite being under her spell for so long was phenomenal. Even though the man spoke harsh words to his wife and acted like he did not care about her on Chen Chu Chu's order, he still remained firmly loyal to that woman even after suffering so much pain on the full moon.
And what attracted her, even more, was that the man did not once lower his head and begged her when he was suffering, he will rather bleed to death than ask for her help and that only made her fall for him even more.
Chen Chu Chu really wanted to conquer that man by hook or crook and she knew that sooner or later that man will fall under her charms, no matter how much he tried to resist her, she was her mistress's most skilled disciple, no one has been able to go against her wishes!
She had enough confidence in her skills!
Chen Xi also knew that her sister will not agree which was why she did not say anything, in fact, she too thought that it was too much of a waste to let Fu Shu Chang go after wasting so many months on him.
Thus, she could only tell her sister to stay careful and then return to her room.
After Chen Xi left her room, Chen Chu Chu turned around and walked to the bookshelf but then her gaze fell on her reflection in the mirror that was placed in front of the bed on which she slept. She only glanced at it for a few seconds but then she frowned and immediately changed her path to the mirror as she closely looked at the wrinkles on the side of her eyes that have appeared at some moment.
The curl of her lips went down and then she clicked her tongue in annoyance. " When did this happen? How come my skin suddenly started to degrade so soon?"
She looked down at her hands that despite being pale and smooth, seemed to be showing signs of ageing and was really displeased. She turned to look at the mirror that was in front of her and then kicked the foot of the dressing table with great annoyance.
" I work so hard to beat this curse and yet," she wickedly sneered and then walked over to the small wooden box that was sitting at the foot of her bed. She took out the key from her pocket and then opened the lock that was hanging in front of the box before she unclasped the wooden box and opened the lid.
As soon as she opened the lid, hundreds and thousands of black snakes with diamond heads started wriggling and slithering inside the box. She looked down at the snakes and smiled strangely before reaching out and picking one in her fingers, " My dear child, do you want your mommy to live long? Then go and bring me a young woman, one whose death is not near."
Chen Chu Chu commanded the snake who seemed to be listening to her quite patiently and then flung it down on the floor. The snake that was the size of a normal snake turned ten times bigger as soon as it touched the ground and then started to slither out of the room.
Chen Chu Chu watched it leave and suddenly remembered one of her children that died just a few months ago. When she thought about how that child has cultivated to the point where it started to talk and even think on its own, she suddenly felt that it was such a pity. At the same time, she could not help but curse the celestial master who killed her daughter.
Clearly, she worked hard to make sure that daughter of her to get out of that tomb and even get a proper host to cultivate with but now that she was dead, she was only left with these poor excuses of children who did not even have much cultivation.
" If that celestial master ever falls in my hands I will kill him!" Because of him, she was scolded by her mistress! "If not for his interference, I would have…" Chen Chu Chu stopped and did not speak any further.
