Chapter 3 — Going Back to Modern Day, Le Vuong Goes Crazy

Perhaps he felt I had embarrassed him. Music rang out. I tried to suppress the intense pain in my knee and started dancing. Every time I turn, it's as if needles are being inserted into every bone. But I don't dare stop. The Ky Unicorn jade block is lying right on the table next to Tieu Canh Hanh's hand. It's my life. The dance ends. My whole body was soaked, I fell limply to the ground, panting. A few scattered rounds of applause rang out in the hall. Tu Uyen Doanh laughed until his whole body trembled.

"My sister dances really beautifully, it's amazing..."

She deliberately stopped for a moment.

“As expected of the daughter of a god of crime who was banished to the Parish Church.”

In the past, because my family was in trouble, I was assigned to the Church Ward. It was Tieu Canh Hanh who took me out and made me a concubine. I used to think he was my salvation. It turned out that he was just looking for someone like Tu Uyen Doanh to replace him.

“Uyen Doanh is right.”

Tieu Canh Hanh lifted the wine cup and nonchalantly turned it around in his hand.

“If you are a slave, you must have the appearance of a slave.”

He took the Ky Lan jade pendant. Toss back and forth in your hands. Then let go.

"Zhang" sound.

The jade pendant fell straight into the spit in front of him. Inside was mixed with excess alcohol and saliva. The entire banquet hall immediately fell silent. Tieu Canh Hanh pointed at the potty, his voice cold and emotionless:

“Want to get the jade pendant?”

“Close it with your mouth.”

“Once cleaned, it will be yours.”

I suddenly raised my head to look at him. In those once deep, gentle eyes, there was now only mockery. He was waiting for me to refuse. Wait for me to cry and beg. Waiting for me like before, I rushed into his arms and whined and said I couldn't do it. Unfortunate. He miscalculated. Tham Niem now just wants to go home. I don't hesitate. Use both hands and feet to crawl towards it. In everyone's shocked eyes. I lifted up that dirty pot. My stomach felt like it was flipping over. The feeling of humiliation burned every nerve. But I didn't stop. I bowed my head and opened my mouth. The cold, strong liquid flowed through my lips. I bit into that cold, hard jade.

"Tham Niem! You're crazy!"

Tieu Canh Hanh suddenly stood up, knocking over the entire banquet table in front of him. Wine and meat were splashed everywhere. His eyes were bloodshot, staring at me harshly. Like I couldn't believe I actually dared to do that. I released the jade pendant and slowly wiped it clean with my sleeve. Until it radiates a gentle, transparent light again. The system alarm sounded: 【Intermediary detected, time-space channel is open.】 【Countdown: ten, nine, eight...】 I squeezed the jade pendant in my hand. Raising his head, he gave Tieu Canh Hanh his first sincere smile in the past three days.

“Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward.”

Tieu Canh Hanh was stabbed straight in the heart by my smile. He strode forward, wanting to hold my hand.

“Tham Niem, throw that thing away to me!”

"Are you that vile? For a piece of broken jade, you don't even need dignity?"

“Dignity?”

I whispered. In a cannibalistic place like this, can dignity help me go home? Suddenly. The sky outside suddenly darkened. The night sky, which was already pitch black, suddenly appeared with the phenomenon of seven intercontinental stars. A pillar of light descended from the sky, shining straight at the top of Tinh Lau. A guard staggered in.

"Your Majesty! It's not over!"

“Peak Tinh Lau… Tinh Lau Peak over there..."

The guard trembled and pointed at the jade pendant in my hand, a panicked look on his face.

“The jade pendant in Tham Trac Phi's hand... is glowing!”

Everyone looked at my hand at the same time. The Unicorn jade pendant is now emitting a strange red light. Incredibly hot. That is the signal that the gate is opened. I immediately pushed away Tieu Canh Hanh who was blocking the front. I rushed with all my might towards the door. Tinh Lau is not far from here. If I just run there, everything here will end.

“Tham Niem! Stop for me!”

Tieu Canh Hanh reacted and shouted loudly behind him.

“Capture her! Don't let her run!”

The guards rushed forward like a flood. I didn't care about my knee pain, I just ran with all my might. The shoe was lost, the foot was cut by rubble. Blood spread across the white snow, each footprint was as red as apricot blossoms. But I don't feel pain. I only saw a dazzling pillar of light connecting straight to the blue sky on top of Tinh Lau. That's my way home.

“Stop her! If you let her escape, this king will kill you all!”

Tieu Canh Hanh's voice is getting closer and closer. Bringing panic like never before. He didn't know why he was chasing after him. It was just his intuition telling him, if he let me go today. He... will lose me forever. I rushed straight to Tinh Lau. This place is the highest point of the capital. The wind blew fiercely, the hem of his shirt fluttered. I stood in the middle of a pillar of light. The body begins to feel light, the surrounding scenery gradually becomes distorted. Tieu Canh Hanh also just made it to the top. He was breathing heavily, his eyes were red and filled with blood.
