Ex-Wife is a Big Villainess

Comrade Jiang is exhausted.

After tending to the domineering Empress, he still has to appease the jealous Jiang Yi.

When Jiang Shouzhong arrived at the equally opulent and luxurious bedroom bath next door, Jiang Yi had finished bathing and was reclining lazily on a couch by the pool, staring absent-mindedly at the sky.

A light, thin gauze robe was loosely draped over her, perfectly outlining her graceful and curvaceous figure.

"Little Yi."

Jiang Shouzhong approached with a cheeky grin.

Before he could get close to the woman, Jiang Yi lifted her small foot, clad in black silk stockings, to his chest and said with a sweet smile, "The scent on Young Hero Jiang is too exquisite for me to dare to touch; better to keep a distance."

This jar of jealousy is indeed very sour.

Jiang Shouzhong seized the woman's delicate, jade-like little foot and laughed, "No matter how exquisite, it can't compare to my Ms. Jiang."

"Which Ms. Jiang is that?"

Jiang Yi looked at him with a teasing gaze, her voice like a honey-dipped silver hook.

Jiang Shouzhong felt a bit uneasy under her gaze, cleared his throat, and quickly replied, "Of course, it's Ms. Jiang here."

The two played with words, testing each other.

Jiang Yi snorted lightly, exerted a bit of force, and withdrew her little foot. Her toes traveled along the man's collarbone to his Adam's apple, revealing jade-colored skin and pale blue veins beneath the wet silk stockings.

"There are many with the surname Jiang in the world, certainly not me, just an aging woman."

With that, she gently pushed him away with her toes.

Jiang Shouzhong thick-skinnedly embraced her slender waist, laughing, "There may be many with the surname Jiang, but the most precious one is my Little Yi, unmatched in the world."

"Young Hero Jiang's words are getting sweeter; how much of it has the Empress tasted?"

Jiang Yi didn't push the man away.

Jiang Shouzhong didn't respond to this topic, his hand slipping under her skirt with a smile, "Everything I say is true. I am an honest person, even if my words get sweeter, only Ms. Jiang can taste them."

Jiang Yi slightly narrowed her phoenix eyes, as if watery waves stirred within, "Does Young Hero Jiang still have the energy to bully me now?"

"You guess?"

Jiang Shouzhong stopped talking nonsense and pounced.

Though already very tired, he had no choice but to brace himself to pacify this big jar of jealousy.

An hour later, Jiang Shouzhong, having been chased out of the bedroom, sat on the steps, panting heavily, his legs trembling lightly.

The man silently lamented.

When this lady loses her temper, she really is as fierce as a tiger, truly exhausting.

"The harem is hard to maintain, isn't it?"

On the palace roof, Jiang Wan looked at Jiang Shouzhong sitting on the steps, utterly spent, with a schadenfreude expression, her tone full of banter.

Jiang Shouzhong had no strength to respond to her.

Jiang Wan floated lightly to Jiang Shouzhong's side and sat next to him, saying, "I once wrote a swordsmanship book called the Invincible Sword Skill, want to learn it?"

Jiang Shouzhong was taken aback and said, "I've already practiced it."

"Practiced it?"

Jiang Wan raised an eyebrow, glanced back at Jiang Yi in the bedroom, seemed to understand something, and smiled, "That girl is quite thoughtful; I thought it had been discarded. So, have you practiced together with Qingchen?"

Jiang Shouzhong nodded, "We did, it's very powerful."

"Compared to Yan Changqing's Greedy Life Sword, how is it?"

Jiang Wan asked.

Jiang Shouzhong slightly frowned, falling into thought, and after a while, said:

"It's a different style of swordsmanship, Master's Greedy Life Sword is more suited for defense. As for the Unparalleled Sword Skill, it requires two people to master simultaneously, which is a bigger limitation."

"Come, practice with me."

Jiang Wan suddenly stood up and clapped her hands.

"This isn't appropriate."

Jiang Shouzhong hesitated a bit.

The Unparalleled Sword Skill is more like a couples' swordsmanship, inevitably involving intimate interactions; practicing with Qingchen is fine, but it's unsuitable with Jiang Wan.

"I said practice, so practice. Stop dawdling, hurry up."

Jiang Wan urged.

Jiang Shouzhong had to stand up and drew the Spirit Water Sword.

Jiang Wan also drew her sword.

This sword was a gift that Zhang Que'er gave to Er Liang, which Er Liang has always carried.

"Let's begin."

Jiang Wan stood holding the sword, with a tall and upright posture.

Jiang Shouzhong nodded, and according to the Unparalleled Sword Skill he learned, swung the long sword.

Yet as soon as he started his sword movement, Jiang Wan's long sword aligned with his, seemingly exerting an invisible pull.

Jiang Shouzhong felt his wrist moving uncontrollably, following the sword form's trajectory.

The Spirit Water Sword wound around Jiang Wan's sword like a serpent.

At this moment, it was not Jiang Shouzhong wielding the sword, but the sword in his hand that led him.

What surprised Jiang Shouzhong even more was that the sword form he was wielding was completely different from the one he'd practiced with Ran Qingchen. To be precise, it was the sword form she practiced.

Snap!

Jiang Shouzhong's long sword suddenly slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.

Jiang Wan shook her head, bluntly criticizing, "I don't even know what Yan Changqing sees in you, with such poor comprehension. Is this how you practice the Unparalleled Sword Skill?"

Jiang Shouzhong picked up the Spirit Water Sword and said, "I had no problem practicing with Qingchen; the sword skill automatically entered my mind, so I just followed the flow."

"Practicing individually won't amount to anything."

Jiang Wan returned to sit on the steps, saying blandly, "The essence of this sword skill lies in the harmony between husband and wife. The moves you practice guide her to execute, and her practiced moves guide you, understand?"

Harmony between husband and wife?

Jiang Shouzhong pondered thoughtfully.

Jiang Wan said, "Actually, this sword skill was originally left for Qingchen, hoping that in the future she could find a suitable husband, so both could be the other's one and only. In this way, should Qingchen face tribulations, she would retain a thread of rationality due to the emotional bond."
