Peerless War God Returns

She felt a great, heavy yoke weighing down her body. She couldn't get the freedom she wanted, the oxygen she needed, and she couldn't breathe.    

    

When that feeling of hopelessness spread throughout her body, she felt every nerve ending in her body begin to hurt, and her heart became even more gloomy.    

    

Looking back on her life so far, she had never wanted so much for what she loved, or even paid for it with everything she had.    

    

The more she felt the shackles suffocating her, the more she wanted to be loved, to break the authority that had been so strong and violent on her.    

    

Her resistance was a hunger strike.    

    

"Yue'er, you should eat some. Don't get hungry." Zhuang Jiyue's mother, Li Shangtong, asked with concern.    

    

However, Zhuang Jiyue just laid on her bed, neither eating nor drinking. She was sulking and didn't pay attention to anyone.    

    

Li Shangtong could only shake his head and walk out after seeing that he didn't listen to her several times.    

    

Zhuang Yunjie happened to walk over. Seeing Li Shangtong's expression, he knew that Zhuang Jiyue hadn't eaten yet, so he wanted to go in and talk to her. However, he was stopped by Li Shangtong.    

    

"Don't provoke her, she'll accept it after a while. She'll be even more against you when she sees you." Li Shangtong said.    

    

After hearing that, Zhuang Yunzhi did not go in anymore. He thought for a while, then he turned to Zhuang Jiyue's door and loudly said, "You should stay at home for the next few days. Since the marriage has already been decided, and the preparations have already started, it's useless no matter how much you try."    

    

Zhuang Jiyue choked in her room. "No matter how you prepare it, I won't marry even if the sky falls!"    

    

After hearing this, Zhuang Yunzhi had an angry look on his face. He felt that Zhuang Jiyue was still as stubborn as ever.    

    

"This is really a good daughter you've raised!" Zhuang Yunjie angrily said to Li Shangtong.    

    

"Alright, you can go first. I'll talk to her again." Li Shangtong said.    

    

Zhuang Yunji then shouted towards Zhuang Jiyue's room, "No matter how you resist, it's useless. Even if Jesus comes, you still have to marry. This is what I said, no one can change it. Our Zhuang family has never made any decisions. You should give up as soon as possible."    

    

After Zhuang Yunji finished speaking, he glared at Qin Lie for a moment before turning around to continue with his matters.    

    

Li Shangtong looked at his retreating back before looking at Zhuang Jiyue's room and sighed.    

    

He quietly opened the door to Zhuang Jiyue's room. He wanted to go in and persuade her, but he saw her on the bed with her head lowered, trembling slightly as if she was crying.    

    

The other cat couldn't take it anymore. It walked over to Zhuang Jiyue's bed and tucked its four legs away, accompanying Zhuang Jiyue.    

    

It was already afternoon. Chu Xihee and the financial beauty arrived at the entrance of the manor. It was already the outskirts of the manor, and what appeared in front of Chu Xihee was a huge manor and mansion.    

    

"I didn't expect this to be Zhuang Jiyue's home. It's even bigger than a villa in Lee Family, and it's so grand as well." Chu Xihee sighed in his heart.    

    

After bidding farewell to the financial beauty, Chu Xihee stopped outside the Zhuang Family villa and observed for a while.    

    

In the end, he decided to try hiding his identity and sneak in. At the very least, he had to understand what was going on inside.    

    

Chu Xihee put on his mask and walked towards the manor's entrance.    

    

The two burly guards standing at the entrance of the manor stopped Chu Xihee with their hands.    

    

"Who are you? Why have you come to the manor?"    

    

The two guards' faces were expressionless. Their serious expressions made them look like iron men.    

    

"Oh, I'm a friend of the Lady Zhuang. I heard that she recently came back, so I came to see her. Can I go in to take a look?" Chu Xihee said.    

    

"You can leave your name and contact details. Our Miss is busy right now, so she declined to visit."    

    

"I'm not free. How about this, can you tell me what she's busy with?"    

    

"No comment, please leave your contact details. We will inform Miss about it later."    

    

He didn't expect the two guards to be so serious. In order not to expose himself, Chu Xihee had to retreat first.    

    

He retreated to the side, not knowing what to do next, but then he saw that the guard had changed shifts, and people were coming out one after another. It was indeed dinner time, and those were probably the workers who had gotten off work in the manor.    

    

Chu Xihee had an idea. He looked in the direction one of the guards left and appeared in front of him in a flash.    

    

The guard was about to take a look at his phone when he saw a figure appear in front of him.    

    

"You're courting death!"    

    

"Sorry, sorry."    

    

The guard saw Chu Xihee appear in front of him and said: "It's you?"    

    

"Actually, I want to ask you something."    

    

"I'm not free."    

    

As the guard spoke, he wanted to leave, but was stopped by Chu Xihee.    

    

"This question is very simple. If you agree to it, then …"    

    

Chu Xihee took out a stack of ten red cows from his pocket.    

    

"These are all yours."    

    

He thought that the guard would happily accept the money when he saw it open. However, he put down the car, stopped the car, and grabbed Chu Xihee's clothes.    

    

"You actually want to bribe me? You must be thinking about doing harm to the manor. You can't leave, come back with me, I want to interrogate you about your plan."    

    

The guard was a muscular man, nearly two meters tall, with a fist as hard as a stone.    

    

Chu Xihee wasn't afraid that Lu Li would hit him, but he was afraid that Lu Li would be exposed because of this. If he didn't deal with it well, Chu Xihee would call his men over and leak the news that Chu Xihee had come to the capital.    

    

"No, no, no, brother, you misunderstand." Chu Xihee quickly explained.    

    

However, the guard still dragged Chu Xihee to the manor gate.    

    

Coincidentally, there were also some people who came out of the manor. They seemed to be bodyguards or something like that. If they came together to deal with him, it would not be good to cause a ruckus.    

    

Seeing that the guard had already waved to his colleague, Chu Xihee broke out in a cold sweat and said, "Um, brother, don't say anything. Actually, I am the Zhuang family's secret lover."    

    

"Huh?"    

    

When the guard heard this, he stopped in his tracks.    

    

"You said that you have a crush on our Lady Zhuang?"    

    

"Yeah, I don't have any plans. I just heard that she often comes back, so I wanted to ask her about it and meet her once. If you think that I have plans, why are you so reckless as to come to the gate and ask?"    

    

The guard thought it was reasonable, since this wasn't something worth making a big fuss over. Coincidentally, when his colleagues asked him what was the matter, he said it was fine.    

    

Chu Xihee let out a sigh of relief as he watched the bodyguards leave.    

    

"Even if you say so, I won't casually reveal Miss's information. Hurry up and leave, before I beat you up."    

    

The guard then got back on his motorcycle and said, "And in my opinion, you're just a toad who wants to eat swan meat and have a crush on our Miss. You can just dream about it, do you think you can possibly be with her?"    

    

He didn't expect the guard to look at Chu Xihee with disdain if he didn't want to say it.
