Night of the Divorce! A Proud Lady Was Forced to Marry the Emperor's Uncle

“So you’re implying that the one who sent you to kill me was your junior sister.”

Upon hearing the man’s words, Jiang Peihuan calmly responded.

Jiang Peihuan’s assertion darkened the strange man’s already sullen face even further, making his appearance all the more terrifying.

Looking at Jiang Peihuan, he coldly said, “You indeed are clever, but this intelligence will be your end.”

After saying that, the man took out the key and opened the door to the basement.

Without caring about his clothes, he directly walked into the water.

The man ignored his clothes and walked into the water.

Since Jiang Peihuan was sitting on Han Feng’s shoulders, the man had to look up to face her.

Meeting Jiang Peihuan’s gaze, the man’s eyes showed a mixture of emotions, “In your next life, remember not to be too smart.”

Finishing his words, he drew his dagger.

Before Jiang Peihuan could react, Han Feng, with fury in his eyes, said, “How dare you try to hurt the queen, and you will surely meet a gruesome end.”

Hearing Han Feng’s words, the man laughed out loud as if he had heard a good joke. Although there was a smile on the man’s face, there was no smile in his eyes. If one looked carefully, there was only endless mockery and disdain.

“In that case, I’ll kill you first.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the dagger in the man’s hand stabbed straight into Han Feng’s heart.

However, just as he took a step forward, his wrist went limp, and the dagger in his hand fell out.

The man quickly held onto the wall at the side. If he had not reacted quickly, he would have fallen into the water.

The man tried to muster his energy and send out a palm wind, but he was powerless.

His eyes filled with shock, he stared at Jiang Peihuan, “It was you.”

“No, I’ve already sealed your acupuncture points. You…

“You sealed my acupoints so that I can’t use my martial arts, but you can’t stop me from using poison.

“Poison?”

Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, the surprise in the man’s eyes deepened.

Facing his astonishment, Jiang Peihuan calmly stated, “Didn’t your junior sister tell you? I’m a physician, well-versed in medical arts and adept at using poison.”

Jiang Peihuan interrupted the man’s words and said lightly.

The man didn’t say anything else. Instead, he closed his eyes.

A moment ago, a strange scene had appeared before his eyes.

The man’s figure suddenly changed. The clothes on his body kept shrinking. Soon, the man in front of him turned into a child.

No, to be precise, it was a body with a child’s body but an adult’s face.

Witnessing this scene, Jiang Peihuan’s eyes were full of surprise.

Han Feng whispered, “My Queen, it’s the Bone Shrinking Technique.”

“Such a technique actually exists in this world?”

In her previous life, Jiang Peihuan had heard about a martial skill on the martial arts world stage that allowed individuals to change their body size at will, known as the Bone Shrinking Technique.

Jiang Peihuan had always considered it a mere legend, not realizing its actual existence.

“Hehe… You thought poisoning me would leave me helpless against you?”

The man, no, the child now, glared malevolently at Jiang Peihuan, sneering.

As his voice trailed off, he charged directly at Han Feng and Jiang Peihuan.

Seeing this, Jiang Peihuan immediately drew the whip from her waist.

Even though her martial strength was temporarily hindered, her hand skills remained.

Jiang Peihuan was fast, but the man was faster. He grabbed the whip Jiang Peihuan lashed out, and yanked it forcefully.

She was pulled off Han Feng’s shoulders.

“Queen Cheng?”

Witnessing this, Han Feng immediately reached out.

However, the man scoffed and blocked Han Feng.

As she was falling, Jiang Peihuan instinctively held her belly, her back facing the ground.

However, she felt herself being caught by someone’s embrace.

Soon after, Han Feng’s excited voice reached her ears, “Master?”

Hearing this voice, Jiang Peihuan immediately opened her eyes.

The one holding her was none other than Xiao Nanye.

Xiao Nanye’s men had their unique ways of communication, so upon receiving the message, Xiao Nanye hurried over without delay.

Recalling what he had just witnessed, Xiao Nanye’s eyes filled with fury.

As he held Jiang Peihuan, the man applied force to his wrist, throwing her onto his back.

Lying on Xiao Nanye’s back, Jiang Peihuan instinctively held his neck.

Xiao Nanye, supporting Jiang Peihuan with one hand and drawing his long sword with the other, pointed it at the man before him.

“Even if you’re the leader of Qian Ji Pavilion, you wouldn’t dare to act so boldly in front of me. Just learning the basics of the Bone Shrinking Technique and you dared to harm my people? You’re seeking death!”

As his voice trailed off, the long sword in Xiao Nanye’s hand immediately aimed for the man’s heart.

The man, now in the form of a child, moved with exceptional agility, effortlessly dodging Xiao Nanye’s sword.

But Xiao Nanye’s moves grew faster and fiercer.

Jiang Peihuan soon heard the man’s screams of agony.

“Is everyone from the Qian Ji Pavilion as weak as you?”

With one hand supporting Jiang Peihuan and the other wielding the sword, Xiao Nanye cut off the man’s hand. The man, splashed in the water, stared at his severed wrist, eyes filled with terror and malice.

After his hand was severed, the man’s form changed again. Jiang Peihuan watched as he transformed back into his adult form.

“The prerequisite of the Bone Shrinking Technique is an intact skeletal structure and limbs.”

“Now, you can’t use the Bone Shrinking Technique ever again.”

Saying this, Xiao Nanye raised his sword again.

Seeing the sword aimed for the man’s neck, Jiang Peihuan gently tapped on the man’s shoulder, “Wait.”

Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s voice, even though the sword was close to the man’s neck, Xiao Nanye adjusted his aim, piercing the man’s shoulder instead.

“Xiao Nanye, let him go.”

Upon hearing Jiang Peihuan, Xiao Nanye looked puzzled. But moments later, he sheathed his sword, carrying Jiang Peihuan on his back, he walked out without glancing back at the man.

Seeing this, Han Feng hastily followed.

“Master, this subordinate deserves to die!”

As soon as they left the basement, Han Feng knelt before Xiao Nanye.

Xiao Nanye, looking at the kneeling figure, had a gloomy expression in his eyes.

“Xiao Nanye, this wasn’t Han Feng’s fault. He was captured because he was concerned for my safety.”

After leaving the basement, Jiang Peihuan wanted to walk by herself, but Xiao Nanye still carried her. Thus, she remained on Xiao Nanye’s back..
