Chapter 104 The Goddess Appears in the World, Evil Spirits Retreat!
Hu Youniang was struck dumb by Chu Tianze's words.
He stood there, stunned, unable to recover for a long time!
Her voice trembled as she said, "Chu Lang, what are you saying? You..."
Chu Tianze turned to look at her, his expression sorrowful.
“Youniang, I know you are deeply in love with me, and I know you are jealous of the Princess and want me to break off the engagement immediately, but you really shouldn’t do this!”
"You shouldn't have stolen the exam questions, and you definitely shouldn't have stolen other people's essays!"
"I have said many times that I am full of talent, and I have passed the imperial examination. It is just a matter of writing a few articles. What is there to fear?"
"But you just didn't have faith in me, and you insisted on doing theft. Now you've ruined me!"
Chu Tianze's words were filled with sorrow, and he was in tears.
If you don't know him, you might really be moved by his acting and feel sympathy for him.
From his accusations, it is clear that the main responsibility for this matter lies with Hu Youniang.
Hu Youniang disregarded his advice and stole the exam questions, as well as other people's essays.
This has led Chu Tiance into an unjust situation!
Hu Youniang has lived for a thousand years and cultivated herself into human form for a hundred years, but she has never encountered such a scene before.
Unlike the man who had just been eyeing her beauty and body.
Now, the eyes of ordinary people and students are filled with doubt and contempt.
This not only made her feel uncomfortable, but also made her want to shout: It wasn't me!
Hu Youniang was panting heavily, quite angry with Chu Tiance.
The eldest princess was pleased to see her like this.
In her previous life, she had been in such dire straits many times!
Now, finally, Hu Youniang can taste this flavor.
Questioning, staring, and words can all kill.
Even spirits and monsters cannot escape it!
"My love, you promised me a lifetime of devotion, to grow old together! How can you speak of me like this now?"
Chu Tianze remained completely unmoved.
He coldly replied, "Did I say something wrong? Weren't the exam questions stolen? You did such a thing, and you still expect me to cover for you?"
“You Niang, even if I love you very much, I must still consider propriety, righteousness, and shame. I cannot become a shameless person because of you.”
Hu Youniang was so angry she almost laughed!
She looked up at Chu Tianze, as if trying to memorize the man's features.
Why does my once tender and affectionate lover now seem so unfamiliar?
Faced with Chu Tianze's accusations, Hu Youniang couldn't utter a single word in defense.
She did steal the exam questions, and she stole the article; Chu Tianze's accusations are valid.
But why is she so heartbroken?
It felt like a piece of my heart had been ripped out.
So this is how those who had their hearts and souls ripped out by her felt before they died?
That hurts so much!
My heart was pounding, and the blood in my limbs felt like it was freezing.
Zhou Wei enjoyed the drama of lovers turning against each other, but still felt it wasn't enough.
This couple should get even more intense!
Hu Youniang's identity hasn't been revealed yet!
Zhou Wei decided to add fuel to the fire.
"My lord, I do have a question."
Seeing Zhou Wei step forward, Chu Tianze's eyes were filled with resentment.
It's that wretched maid again. Every time she speaks, it's never anything good.
"What instructions do you have, Lord Zhou?"
Zhou Wei said with a smile, "The third-ranked scholar keeps saying that Hu Youniang stole the exam questions and the essays, and that you are the victim."
"But there is one thing I don't understand! It is certainly wrong for Hu Youniang to steal the exam questions and essays, but you can also refuse to use them!"
"If you don't look at the exam questions or use that article, then there won't be any problems, right?"
"Could it be that you were forced by Hu Youniang to plagiarize someone else's article word for word?"
Zhou Wei's words immediately enlightened everyone.
Yes!
The key to this matter actually lies with Chu Tiance.
If Chu Tianze hadn't used Hu Youniang's stolen exam questions and essays, he wouldn't have ended up in this predicament.
But he clearly used an article, and now he's blaming all the mistakes on Hu Youniang.
Isn't that putting on a show while actually doing something?
Seeing that Zhou Wei had seen through his thoughts, Chu Tianze cursed Zhou Wei as a bitch in his heart.
He could only feign heartache and continue to argue: "Gentlemen, this matter concerns a great secret of Young Lady."
“I originally intended to help him cover it up, but... now, Lord Zhou suspects me because of it.”
"If I don't tell the truth now, I'm afraid this mudslinging will be thrown at me forever."
As Chu Tianze spoke, he looked at Hu Youniang, as if he had made a decision.
Hu Youniang suddenly felt a chill and her throat tightened.
I have a premonition that disaster is about to befall me!
She took two steps back, staring intently at Chu Tianze, her face revealing neither joy nor anger.
"Really? Scholar, then tell me, what big secret does Hu Youniang have, and how is it related to the theft of the exam questions?" Zhou Wei continued to press.
Chu Tianze turned around and knelt a few steps toward the Crown Prince.
With a heavy heart, she said, "Your Highness, actually, Hu Youniang...she is a fox demon!"
hum ---
As soon as Chu Tianze finished speaking, the scene erupted in chaos.
The Imperial Guards on the high platform quickly stood in front of the Crown Prince to prevent him from being harmed.
The people were abuzz with discussion.
I had only ever heard of spirits and monsters in storybooks, but I had never actually seen one.
Everyone just treats it as a legend!
I never expected to see a fox demon today.
The people could no longer contain their curiosity and craned their necks to look, wanting to see what the fox demon looked like.
Hu Youniang stood there, stunned, staring at Chu Tianze in disbelief.
"Chu Lang...you actually knew?"
"So, all along, you've been using me?"
"You used me to steal exam questions for you, and you used me to find people to write your essays?"
She always thought Chu Tianze was unaware of her fox demon identity, but reality gave her a rude awakening.
Chu Tianze not only knew about it long ago, but also used the identity given to her on multiple occasions to achieve his goals.
Upon hearing Hu Youniang's words, Chu Tianze immediately retorted, "You fox demon, don't spout nonsense!"
"It was you who stole the exam questions and articles and then forced me to use them."
"Knowing that I am of noble character and would never cheat, he used sorcery to enter my dream and imprint the exam questions and essays into my mind."
"You did all of this, dare you deny it?"
Hu Youniang was completely dumbfounded upon hearing this!
Chu Tianze even knows about entering dreams, so what is there to doubt?
This man clearly knew her identity as a fox demon and had been using her from beginning to end.
In the end, when the truth came out, he managed to exonerate himself completely.
He deliberately exposed her demonic nature, ensuring her eternal damnation!
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Hu Youniang suddenly burst into laughter, a laugh that was both poignant and ironic.
"You wicked spirit, committing such shameless acts and wreaking havoc on the court, how dare you still laugh?" Chu Tianze pointed at Hu Youniang and cursed angrily.
Hu Youniang stopped laughing.
"I laugh at myself for being so blind, choosing such a treacherous and utterly shameless man like you after all that careful selection!"
"Although I, Hu Youniang, am a spirit, everything I have done has been for you."
“You knew I was capable of stealing exam questions, yet you repeatedly tempted me with your words to do things for you.”
"I helped you pass the provincial and imperial examinations and become a Jinshi, and I also helped you steal an amazing article, hoping to help you ascend to the position of the literary master."
"In the end, you discarded it like trash?"
"Chu Tianze, hello, you're really great!"
As Hu Youniang spoke, her mournful tone gradually disappeared, and her expression turned resentful.
His eyes turned bloodshot as he stared at Chu Tianze, his hatred unquenchable.
"What good is great fortune if you are so heartless and cold-blooded?"
"Unable to help me cultivate, yet attempting to climb to the top by stepping on my corpse, you deserve to die!"
Hu Youniang's aura suddenly changed, and a gust of wind suddenly swept through the scene.
Her already fragile physical form was now fully manifested!
A fox demon that has lived for a thousand years, with a body several times larger than that of an ordinary human.
Its outstretched claws, gleaming with cold light, attacked Chu Tiance without the slightest hesitation!
No one present could outrun Hu Youniang.
In the blink of an eye, the beast's sharp claws easily tore Chu Tiance's body apart.
Blood flowed all over the ground, and Chu Tianze's internal organs spilled out of his body.
The esteemed third-ranked scholar died instantly under Hu Youniang's sharp claws!
"All heartless and cold-blooded people in the world deserve to die!"
Hu Youniang revealed her true beastly nature and, provoked by Chu Tianze, went completely mad.
The situation was rapidly spiraling out of control.
Yuanxing, who had been waiting for an opportunity, finally made his move.
He shoved Mei Xingyue hard and shouted, "The goddess has appeared in the world, demons and evil spirits begone!"
