Nāgata: Infernal Night, Qinghan and I are True Love

Chapter 53 Shen Miao's Disappointing Act

The beautiful image of the red night and the chilly air floated into his mind.

Then he thought of how, four years later, everyone would be forced to go to Jukuzhou by Wuchen.

He understood.

It's not that I'm someone who doesn't work hard at self-cultivation, but rather that time waits for no one.

Even if it means killing to enhance one's cultivation, one must still do it.

Without cultivation, everything is just a mirage. Hongye's regrets are beyond her control, Qinghan will continue to be targeted by Wuchen, and she herself will be unable to control her own destiny.

Finally, we await the moment when the ancient gods are resurrected.

In the end, Wuchen won.

Wanxiang attempted to use the Immortal Mask to delay Zhulong's revival and buy himself time to cultivate the Reverse Five Elements Chaos Technique, but he went mad from the cultivation.

Tongjiao is selfish and attempts to revive the Fusang Tree, while also controlling the Golden Crow and the Candle Dragon to revive them, destroy the world, and use the Fusang Tree to protect the Hidden Clan.

The Jue Sect wants to use the Heavenly Mandate Plan to delay the time of Zhulong's revival and find a way to seal it.

Therefore, the Immortal Mask must be used by someone, and at a specific time required by the three hidden sects.

This is irreversible.

Now that Wuchen has won, how does he intend to save the world?

Xu Tianyi couldn't understand it, but becoming stronger was the best way.

Thinking of this, he drew his Heaven-Slaying Sword and examined it.

Nothing special, it's time to change weapons.

The Shen family of Leizhou was naturally a master of weapons manufacturing.

From cold weapons to later firearms, ships, and cannons, they were all of excellent quality.

Since the decline of the Li family, the five great families of the Wuji Empire have now become four great families.

The Shen family's ancestor, Shen Mengqi, chose to enter the Extreme Emperor City to hone his skills after obtaining the Immortal Mask, and then slumbered there.

This led to the Shen family's slight decline.

Over the course of a thousand years, relying on the legacy left by Shen Mengqi, the Shen family has continued to this day and is now a leading family in Leizhou.

Xu Tianyi thought it would be great if he could get to know Shen Miao.

Miss Shen Miao is skillful and talented.

With her help, I'm sure I can change my entire set of equipment.

As I was thinking, a luxurious carriage arrived at the door, followed by two beautiful young women holding umbrellas who entered the inn.

Xu Tianyi's lips twitched: "My mouth's been blessed? And besides, how come they're all sisters..."

Gu Qinghan frowned: "Tianyi, you know him?"

Xu Tianyi smiled awkwardly; the character "Shen" on the carriage was easy to recognize.

But another girl made him afraid to go down and flirt with Shen Miao.

“It’s normal to meet Shen Miao, the eldest daughter of the Shen family, in Leizhou.”

Gu Qinghan seemed to be deep in thought.

"The eldest daughter of the Shen family, what tragic story does she have?"

Xu Tianyi was taken aback: 'I didn't say she was miserable...'

Gu Qinghan rolled her eyes at him: "Which woman you've met hasn't suffered a tragic fate?"

Xu Tianyi was speechless for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"This Miss Shen is very comfortable."

Shen Miao was the eldest daughter of the Shen family in Leizhou from a young age, and also the legitimate daughter of this generation. Born in 1654, she was naturally mischievous, clever and quick-witted, and learned the Shen family's traditions very quickly. She also had a passion for military equipment manufacturing.

Because her father had to take up a post in Zhongzhou, she was raised by her grandfather and was the apple of the eye of the entire Shen family.

Around the age of thirteen, she felt bored and secretly followed the butler Shen Ping to the Moon Wheel.

Half a month later, she arrived in Dajinpeng City on a merchant ship.

She was naturally outgoing and quickly struck up a conversation with the children on the street.

She also learned that the butler had come to Tsukirō this time to purchase new shikigami-themed firearms.

Meanwhile, the butler and his entourage were also being watched.

So she went back to see the housekeeper, who was terrified. If something happened to his young lady, the entire Shen family would suffer a huge loss.

He wanted to take Shen Miao back, but Shen Miao ordered him to split up and buy the divine ointment firearms in batches from various city-states, so as not to attract attention.

Shen Ping readily agreed.

Meanwhile, she wandered around the Moon Wheel, went to the Great Golden Roc City to watch the beast fighting performance of Temur, the star of the arena, and then seemed to encounter Liu Lian, who came to cultivate.

The funniest thing is, three months later, she saw you and your mother in Silvergull City.

Gu Qinghan was surprised: "I've seen her before?"

"You probably don't remember, but she probably wanted to take you back with her, but there wasn't enough time and she had to get on the ship."

The Shen family's purchase of firearms was very successful.

Shen Miao's plan also looks great.

However, the firearms were still stolen.

Canaan and Cui Sanniang led their fleet to rob the Shen family of their firearms.

She and Hardy, whom she met on the ship, became the prisoners of the Third Sister.

She then said she was very valuable and that she would cooperate with Third Sister to ask the Shen family for ransom, and then split it in half.

The Shen family didn't hesitate and immediately paid money to redeem her and Hardy.

Afterwards, Hadi studied at the Shen family for a while and was recommended to go to the Liu family in Runzhou.

Shen Miao then began to study some of the firearms she had brought back.

After studying it for a while, she got bored again.

She heard that Qiao Xiaomei from Qiao Family Village had been targeted by bandits who wanted to forcibly take her back to marry her.

This piqued her interest, so he impersonated Qiao Xiaomei and was captured and taken to the mountain stronghold.

In the mountain stronghold, she used a pistol to force the bandit's second-in-command to open the bandit's treasure vault. Then, she used the wooden ox cart she brought with her to transport the loot, intending to rob a group of bandits and leave.

Unexpectedly, when she was leaving, she ran into Yue Shan and Hu Wei who came to rescue her.

She and Hu Wei had a fight, but Yue Shan quickly stopped them.

Furthermore, Yue Shan made her leave behind the stolen goods from the mountain bandits.

Seeing that Yue Shan was resolute, Hu Wei even seized her wooden ox.

Enraged, he stole Hu Wei's horse and went straight back to the Shen family.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Then, Yue Shan even brought Hu Wei to the Shen family to apologize to her. But this wasn't an apology; it was a complaint.

She only felt wronged.

Therefore, she wanted to go to the Shenji Camp where Yue Shan was stationed to cause trouble for Hu Wei, who had bullied her. Her grandfather, on the contrary, felt that she and Yue Shan seemed to have feelings for each other. The Yue family controlled the army of the whole country, and the Shen family was even climbing the social ladder.

So naturally, Shen Miao was sent to chase after Yue Shan.

After entering the Shenji Camp, Shen Miao and Hu Wei bickered every day. As Shen Miao grew up, the two naturally grew closer.

Then Yunzhou was in dire straits, and Yue Shan and Hu Wei returned to Yunzhou.

After Shen Miao led the way, an explosion occurred at the Zhongzhou Shenji Camp.

She and Wei Qing, the police chief, began investigating the case.

Soon, Lu Siguan, the warehouse manager, took the initiative to tell her.

The case is quite simple: King Qi was out of money, so he couldn't pay his soldiers' wages and rations. Therefore, he tacitly allowed his men to smuggle firearms to pay the soldiers' wages and rations.

Of course, this matter could not be kept secret from the inspectors, and King Qi did not want to take the blame, so he could only settle the matter with an explosion and the execution of the Lu official.

After resolving this matter, Shen Miao went to Yunzhou.

Afterwards, Yue Shan was about to head south to quell the rebellion. Hu Wei couldn't stand his superior's constant pointing fingers, so he returned to Black Wind Village and together with Shen Miao, recruited a righteous army to defend Yunzhou.

Afterwards, Hu Wei heard about the Immortal Mask and wanted to obtain it to protect Yunzhou. He also wanted to gain fame so that the Shen family would recognize him.

Shen Miao then followed him to Jukuzhou.

Her story is actually quite simple: a happy, wealthy young lady falls in love with a commoner general.

Gu Qinghan listened with great interest: "I really envy her, so carefree... But now I feel like my hardships have finally come to an end..."

Xu Tianyi laughed heartily: "Alright, alright, let's get down to business. At this point in time, she should have finished investigating the Shenji Camp case and invited Wei Qing to come over to the Shen family home."

I guess she wanted to ask her family for money to help the soldiers in the Shenji Battalion who were short of food.

Gu Qinghan chuckled: "Then she really is a pain in the ass..."

"Ha ha.."
