Chapter 2439: There’s a Way to Get Out of This Situation
As the old taoist priest started the ritual, the sky gradually darkened and a cold wind began to blow.
Lady Wang, whose leg was still injured, was carried over. When she saw Ning Shu, who was tied above the pile of firewood, her eyes were brimming with pleasure.
It was an expression of hateful revenge.
Her expression was extremely sinister.
Ning Shu was tied up and Li Sanlang was controlling her body. She was going to be burned to death.
This counter attack task was seriously…
“Did I dig up your family’s ancestral tomb or something, for you guys to treat me like this?” Ning Shu couldn’t help asking Li Sanlang.
Li Sanlang said, “You are my wife, yet you disobey me. Do you think that’s right?”
Frick, the men in this world oppressed women, and the women also oppressed women.
“There’s a way to get out of this situation. Do you want to hear…” 2333’s voice echoed in Ning Shu’s mind.
Ning Shu asked unhurriedly, “What way?”
“Use the soul pearl.”
Ning Shu was somewhat surprised. “Isn’t the soul pearl still fusing?”
“It can be used, but it may destroy the system space. You might end up not being able to return to the system space.”
“And you?” Ning Shu asked. If the system space was destroyed, would 2333 no longer exist?
“I’m bound to your soul, so I’ll be fine,” 2333 said.
Ning Shu hesitated for a bit. It was too risky.
If the system space was destroyed, she would have no place to even take a breather. The price was too high.
Furthermore, 2333 wasn’t the type to allow himself to suffer losses, it was unlikely for him to make such a huge sacrifice just for a task.
Ning Shu asked, “Is there some sort of treasure here?”
“Er, there’s probably a barrier stone,” 2333 said. “It’s an extremely rare object. Not only can it trap people, but it can also bind their souls.”
Ning Shu’s heart pounded. Could it be that Li Sanlang had mastered the power of this barrier stone?
It was a natural barrier with no way to dispel it.
“The destruction of the system space is just a worst-case scenario. Maybe it won’t be destroyed?” 2333 said.
Ning Shu: ?_ ?
Then what if it was destroyed?
The old taoist priest was still continuing with the ritual. The sky gradually grew darker and the wind swept the stones around.
Ning Shu glanced at the people around her. Their faces all carried contempt or pleasure.
She just wanted to live. Why was that so difficult?
There was also the man claiming to be her husband who controlled her, threatened her, and wanted her kneel at his feet and worship him like a God.
If worst comes to worst, she’d just take them all down with her.
“Liu Xiaoya, beg me. I can let you live,” said Li Sanlang.
Ning Shu’s voice carried a smile, “Alright.”
Li Sanlang was stunned for a split second and then said contemptuously, “Are you sincere?”
This nutjob. If she didn’t submit, he would pull out all the stops to force her. If she submitted, he looked down on her.
Prick, go die.
“Light it up!” said the old taoist priest, his voice booming, as he finished his spell.
Immediately, a manservant raised a torch and lit the firewood at Ning Shu’s feet.
Ning Shu’s expression remained unchanged and she said to 2333 in her mind, “The only way is to use the soul pearl?”
“The system space may collapse,” 2333 reminded her.
Ning Shu made a sound of agreement. “Use it.”
Even if she had to risk the system space collapsing, Ning Shu wouldn’t let Li Sanlang get away with this.
The flames in the firewood pile crackled and thick smoke drifted from it.
“Liu Xiaoya, there’s still time to beg. I’m your husband. You should listen to me,” said Li Sanlang.
“Really?” Ning Shu’s tone carried a smile. He may have a cheat, but she had a cheat too. Let’s see who would smile til the end. Who was more ruthless?
This madam has gambled her entire system space.

#Kiara’s Comments: I find Ning Shu’s internal cursing and name calling adorable and I don’t know why. Also Li Sanlang mastering the stone is single handedly ruining my almost ship.
