Thinking that this woman was really special and different from the others he had met until now, Jian Shen turned around to leave since he wasn't in any hurry to enter her tent right this instant.
They were going to be together for quite some time due to exploring the ruins together.
But, while Jian Shen was on his way back to his tent he heard two of the boys that came here in the carriage with me whispering in such a way that it looked like they were planning something weird.
That's why Jian Shen chose to hide himself using the Intent of Space and moved close to them to hear what they were talking about.
"Are you sure about this? Isn't she like very unlucky or something?"
"So what if she's unlucky? We're not asking her to marry us, idiot! We'll just r@pe her and leave."
"Still.... She is very stronger than us, what if she ends up killing us?"
"Don't you know? I heard that she never rejects anyone even if they try to kill her. Now quickly come with me before someone else uses our plan."
Listening to all of this, Jian Shen couldn't help but frown because Meirong didn't feel like the woman they were talking about.
So, he chose to follow behind them and see what the hell was happening.
...
"Hey unlucky bitch, did you come here to destroy our chances at finding something good inside the ruins?"
"Get lost."
"Hehehehehehe, how could I leave when there's such a tasty pussy near me. Come here and suck daddy's dick, maybe then I'll let you leave."
Just throwing a look of disdain towards the boy who spoke, Meirong went back to doing what she was doing as if she was used to such a thing happening and didn't care about it.
"You... How dare you ignore me? Do you want to die!"
Meirong once again ignored the boy as he pulled his weapon outside and really ran up to her to attack her with it.
Still, since Meirong didn't show any intention of defending Jian Shen who was inside the shadows until now could no longer just keep on watching.
Stepping forward and holding the sword in the middle of its movement by its sharp edge in between his fingers, Jian Shen pulled the sword out of the boy's grasp and in the next second without any hesitation pierced the person's throat with it.
"Ugh.... You..... Crazy bast... "
Not caring about how the boy felt, Jian Shen pulled the sword out and threw it towards his scared friend and killed the other ones physical body immediately as well.
This allowed Jian Shen to understand how weak these cultivators from the Middle Realm were against him.
Sure it might be because they were surprised by him suddenly appearing and holding the sword with his fingers, but their physical bodies were really way too weak.
Now what he needed to do was destroy their Nascent Souls so that there wouldn't be any more troublesome events in the future due to these two.
Using his bare hands to quickly catch the two souls which were trying to leave their bodies and flee, Jian Shen could almost spot the pleading intention coming from the souls begging him to leave them.
But, he didn't do such a thing and directly crushed them into oblivion.
"Want to explain what just happened here?"
Turning around to look at Meirong who even now looked just as expressionless as before, Jian Shen really did want an explanation.
"Two men came to try and r@pe me, and you killed them before they could do that."
"Not that. What I want to know is why you didn't even try to resist when you are so strong! You could've easily killed them!"
Showing an expression of resignation, Meirong muttered, "Why bother? Everyone else would feel better if I just die."
"You.… I was thinking that you were different, but are you just insane?"
"Insane?! What are you talking about?! I'm.. "
Quickly reverting to her expressionless face and hiding all of her anger, Meirong said, "You've saved the damsel in distress, isn't now the time you leave."
"What are you... "
"What is it? Seducing me isn't going to work. So if you want to, just r@pe me and then kill me. It'd be better for me to lose my virginity to you than someone else anyway."
"You are really insane."
Understanding that he couldn't even have a proper conversation with Meirong without losing his calm, Jian Shen who didn't want his emotions to get the better of him slammed the table beside him into pieces before leaving they tent.
Once he did so, Qingyu said, "You should stay away from her, Jian Shen. She really is cursed."
"Come on. Those two could've chosen to find any woman, she was just unlucky in that way. Curse would be going too f.. "
"That isn't what the broken sword is talking about, husband. We might not have sensed it before, but back inside the tent the two of us could clearly sense that she was cursed."
Frowning and looking at the tent over his shoulder, Jian Shen shook his head and forced himself to not think about such things for now.
...
Maintain an expressionless face until Jian Shen left, Meirong who couldn't keep up the act any longer felt her knees turn weak as she collapsed on the floor with tears threatening to flow out of her eyes at any moment.
Until now she always told herself that she was ready to die because that was what was best for everyone.
Even though she wasn't willing to let anyone r@pe her, Meirong really used to hope that someone would kill her and free her from the curse she suffered from.
But since the time she met Jian Shen, despite having known him for less than a day she was already feeling reluctant to part with him and die.
Especially after he went so far to kill those two to save her.
