My Lady Always Lacks Ambition-Chapter 991 - 964: I Dare to Do as I Please

At the moment he saw the marriage contract, Luo Qi was both shocked and angry. This was too outrageous. Without his knowledge, he was already engaged in a marital relationship with someone else, and she wasn’t even a woman from a respectable family, likely a brothel girl. This was an insult to him.

Holding the marriage contract, Luo Qi’s handsome face turned red with anger.

Shao Ming stepped forward to take a look, and his expression shifted multiple times. This marriage contract included the birth dates of both the man and woman. With a marriage contract like this, they were considered a legitimate couple, recognized by law.

Luo Qi’s marriage contract was indeed complete and authentic.

"This... Brother Luo, what’s going on here?" Shao Ming was a bit bewildered. Everyone at the academy knew Luo Qi was only eighteen and hadn’t been engaged yet. But now there’s this marriage contract and the hairpin coupling. It was downright chilling.

"With the marriage contract and hairpin coupling, heaven and earth recognize you as a couple, and her visiting you every night is just understandable." Qin Liuxi pointed at Liang Yaomu.

Everyone instinctively looked and felt their hair stand on end, quickly siding with Qin Liuxi.

At the moment, Liang Yaomu was posturing coquettishly, lightly touching his temple with a hand, his eyes full of flirtatious glances. If he were a girl, this charm would probably be bone-melting to men.

But these actions were being done by a man—a man more effeminate than any gay person—it’s enough to make one’s skin crawl.

Everyone knew the term "Longyang," but none in the crowd inclined that way. Seeing Liang Yaomu like this made their faces red and hearts race with shock.

"Liang Yaomu, what are you doing?" Shao Ming swallowed hard and rebuked.

’Liang Yaomu’ looked at Luo Qi and opened his mouth: "Mr. Luo..."

Ahhhh.

The sultry female voice coming from his mouth drove everyone mad, and they rushed to hide behind Qin Liuxi.

What kind of ghost is this?

Qin Liuxi sneered; these were scholars who refused to speak of strange forces and spirits.

Luo Qi’s face also changed drastically; this voice was identical to what he had heard in his dreams.

"Who are you?" he demanded with a pale face. "Why are you here to harm me?"

"Mr. Luo, we are hairpin-bound spouses. Why be so cold to me?" ’Liang Yaomu’ feigned heartbreak, covering half his face, eyes full of lament.

"Nonsense! I don’t even know you. It’s you who enters my dreams and lures me into those pleasures." Luo Qi fumed with rage.

’Liang Yaomu’ chuckled, "Mr. Luo, it’s impossible to force a bull to drink, even if I lured you, you had to cooperate. It was mutually delightful; how can you solely blame me?"

Luo Qi was mortified with shame and rage.

Even though he understood the reasoning, being exposed like this made his face burn.

Moreover, he wasn’t aware at all. Without someone plotting, he wouldn’t have come into contact with this so-called seduction.

Qin Liuxi flicked her fingertip, casting a skill at ’Liang Yaomu,’ who screamed and staggered back. Her gaze at Qin Liuxi was filled with hatred, toxicity, and fear.

"Being so arrogant in front of me, you think just because you’ve possessed this guy, I can’t do anything?" Qin Liuxi stared coldly at her. "I’m sparing you so you’ll honestly explain the marriage contract with Mr. Luo without saying trivial things and posturing. Push me, and I’ll scatter your soul!"

The scholars froze. Possession?

"Dare you? I have a marriage contract with Luo Qi." ’Liang Yaomu’ shrieked. "Heavens and earth will acknowledge our relationship, even if he marries again, it would be a secondary wife situation. Without my consent, this karma can’t touch me."

"Why don’t you try if I dare?" Qin Liuxi smiled, her eyes narrowed, looking at her. "Do you think I’m negotiating with you? I’m informing you."

’Liang Yaomu’ retreated two steps warily.

Although Qin Liuxi smiled, her expressions made ’Liang Yaomu’ feel dread and cold.

She dared!

"Aren’t you afraid these heavenly rules will fall upon you? Even heavenly masters wouldn’t act recklessly!" ’Liang Yaomu’ pretended to be firm.

Qin Liuxi lowered her eyes, "Other heavenly masters might not dare, but I do! By the way, you and he are a couple? So shameless, you’re a marriage cheat!"

’Liang Yaomu’ was choked with embarrassment, her face turning red. After a moment, she said, "Regardless, I am considered his wife."

"Then there’s nothing to discuss." Qin Liuxi pulled a small Peach Wood Sword from her sleeve and swung it at her.

Zap.

A bluish smoke rose from ’Liang Yaomu’s body, and everyone could see with the naked eye that a seductive woman’s face appeared on his body, viciously struggling, her screams piercing.

The scholars’ faces turned pale, shaking like leaves.

This was the Zhangyan Technique, surely meant to ruin their righteous views, to make them believe in strange forces.

Whatever it was, they just wanted to get out, but their legs were trembling too much, losing all strength.

"Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill this guy?" ’Liang Yaomu’ pointed at the body she possessed.

Qin Liuxi walked closer, the Peach Wood Sword in her hand making elegant sword flowers, "Feel free, after all, he’s not an innocent person. He’s the one that facilitated this marriage scam between you two. But if you kill, you’ll become an Evil Ghost, giving me more reason to destroy you! Come on, give me a reason why I won’t have to bear any karmic consequences!"

’Liang Yaomu’ heard the excitement in her voice and panicked. This was a pervert!

The scholars’ faces changed multiple times. She wasn’t concerned about Liang Yaomu’s life.

Qin Liuxi raised the Peach Wood Sword, and ’Liang Yaomu’ screamed, "I’ll tell! It was all Liang Yaomu’s doing."

Her real surname was Wu, stage name Jiaojiao. Though she wasn’t the top courtesan at the Hundred Flowers Court, she was quite renowned. She met Liang Yaomu because his mother often helped style the courtesans’ hair there, and she had the same surname Wu, so they were more familiar. She even called Aunt Wu her sister sometimes.

This summer, she fell ill, not doing well, and Liang Yaomu, alongside his mother, came to her, saying he had found a marriage for her, so that after death she wouldn’t be alone. He then took her birth dates, cut a lock of her hair and a fingernail, and had a marriage contract made.

"...After I died, my soul drifted from my body without any means to reincarnate, so I relied on the marriage contract to take refuge. Liang Yaomu buried this bundle at Mr. Luo’s bedside. For people like us, the chance to find a worthy partner is so rare, not to mention that he is a scholar, a Scholar—it’s the blessing I cultivated in previous lives!"

Qin Liuxi retorted, "Blessings from a previous life wouldn’t descend into prostitution."

Wu Jiao bit her tongue angrily, not wanting to talk to her, then turned with full sentiment to look at Luo Qi, "With the marriage contract, Mr. Luo is my husband. How could a legitimate couple not consummate their marriage, which is why I met with him daily for affection."

By now, Luo Qi’s stomach was churning violently, and upon hearing this, he dashed to the door and retched violently.

He was utterly disgusted!
