Super War God in the City-Chapter 448 : Trampled Dignity!

Gazing out the window, Xiao Chubing, lost in thought, was startled back to reality by a call from outside the door.

She recognized the voice— it was her newly arrived cousin, Murong Fei.

In this entire Murong Aristocratic Family, the only one who gave her a hint of warmth was Murong Fei. Compared to the coldness of the others, Murong Fei treated her quite well, keeping her company with daily chats!

Murong Fei, calling out twice from outside the door and receiving no response, felt a tightness in her heart and hurriedly pushed the door open and came in.

Upon seeing her cousin sitting quietly by the window, she inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. With her little aunt and uncle gone, she certainly didn't want her cousin to have any more dark thoughts.

"Cousin, eat something, please. You haven't had anything to eat for days; you can't keep going like this!" Murong Fei set down the food box and coaxed.

Xiao Chubing didn't utter a sound. She had no appetite to eat now; the fact that she hadn't taken her own life was already a tremendous act of restraint!

"I'm not hungry. Don't bother bringing food tomorrow," Xiao Chubing said indifferently, still holding some fondness for her cousin.

Murong Fei was about to speak when suddenly two elderly women burst through the doorway.

"Miss, the Family Head has ordered that today will be your virginity test," one slightly plump old woman said to Xiao Chubing.

Both Xiao Chubing and Murong Fei were taken aback, unsure what this new drama was about.

"A virginity test?" Xiao Chubing was stunned.

"What test?" Murong Fei furrowed her brows and pressed for an answer.

"To answer the second miss, the Family Head decreed it. We must test the eldest miss who has just returned. The marriage alliance with the Gu Family has requirements. Only with her chastity intact will the other party agree. Otherwise, even if she goes there, she can only be a concubine!" another, slightly thinner old woman explained.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chubing's face turned even paler. A virginity test, to her, was a humiliation!

At this moment, she was filled with immense regret, hating that during her two years of marriage with Ling Fan, why had she never been intimate with him!

Murong Fei's complexion turned pale too, her lips tightly pressed together, her eyes brimming with worry and sympathy for Xiao Chubing.

She knew how hard this must be for her cousin to accept, and she was also aware that her cousin had a boyfriend in the Secular World and was already married—how could she possibly be a virgin?

If Xiao Chubing ended up as a concubine to that Gu Sheng of the Gu Family's third son, her life would be truly over, fated to a living death!

Gu Sheng of the Five Peaks aristocracy was well-known for his 'excellent' reputation, so much so that no family was willing to offer their daughter in marriage to him.

This man was lecherous by nature, and rumors suggested even more disturbing proclivities— it was said he had a fixation with beautiful legs and even went so far as to amputate a woman's legs to keep them as a specimen. Though the authenticity of this rumor was murky, it was certainly not baseless!

Once these dark rumors spread, Gu Sheng's reputation had become tarnished throughout the Five Peaks, leading to a point where no one came to propose marriage.

Murong Fei deeply disapproved of Murong Zun arranging the marriage with Gu Sheng for Xiao Chubing, but felt powerless to stop it. Becoming the main wife might have been tolerable; as a concubine, she would have no status and be looked down upon, especially given Xiao Chubing's background. With Gu Sheng's perversions, Murong Fei dreaded how he might torment her cousin!

"I refuse to undergo the test!" Xiao Chubing said, her tone icy.

Being forced into this marriage was like being stabbed in the heart, and now with such an unreasonable demand on top, it felt like salt was being rubbed into the wound.

For a moment, Xiao Chubing's pride was subjected to extreme humiliation, and she couldn't accept it!

"Miss, you don't have a say in this matter!" the old woman said indifferently.

To them, this so-called Miss Xiao was without a shred of awe in their hearts; they both knew that she was nothing more than a tool for an arranged marriage within the family!

If it weren't for worrying about Murong Fei being nearby, these two would have rushed forward and struck her long ago!

"You wait here, I'm going to find father!" Murong Fei said, her face stern, her voice cold.

"Miss, the Family Head himself ordered this, even if you go to him, it will be useless. It's best not to get involved!" the old woman reminded her, slightly hesitating.

Upon hearing this, Murong Fei, who had just lifted her foot, stopped abruptly. She was powerless against Murong Zun, that stubborn old man!

Her face immediately soured, and she took a deep breath before saying to Xiao Chubing, "Cousin, I can't decide on grandfather's decisions..."

In fact, Murong Zun also had great expectations for her own marriage, and she didn't know what her own future would hold. Perhaps her outcome wouldn't be much better than her cousin's!

This must be the fate of women born into a large family, into the Murong Family, she thought, as the image of Ling Fan on Shennong Peak involuntarily flashed across her mind!

At the same time, she was also concerned for Ling Fan, wondering how he was doing now!

Not long ago, when the other two families came knocking, the incident at Shennong Peak had left her the only one to return unscathed. It would be strange if the other two families didn't come looking for them!

She had intended to cover up for Ling Fan, but Elder Murong, who returned with her, did not hesitate to report the affair!

Elder Murong did so because, when he separated from Ling Fan, Ling Fan had left a message, instructing him there was no need for deception!

Besides, this was not something that could be hidden; it would be found out sooner or later. Playing the ostrich was not a wise move. Offending the other two families was not worth it, and Murong Fei understood this in her heart. She didn't say much more!

When Murong Zun learned of this, he merely showed surprise for a moment and did not cause much of a stir within the family. However, the Xiang and Mu families, upon receiving the news, charged into Zhongnan Academy with great fury!

At this moment, Xiao Chubing's bitter smile pulled Murong Fei's scattered thoughts back.

"I will not accept your humiliation. If you dare, kill me!" Xiao Chubing said pitifully.

Hearing this, Murong Fei felt a twist in her heart. She stood to the side in silence, powerless!

The two old women didn't care about all this. After hesitating for a moment, they said sternly, "Then Miss, we're sorry, but we will have to proceed!"

As they spoke, one of them flashed beside Xiao Chubing and knocked her out with a slap!

Both of them were of the Fourth Grade Cultivation; Xiao Chubing was as weak as a chicken in their presence, not even having a chance to resist before falling unconscious!

"You two better not go too far, I'm waiting right here!" Murong Fei said, pursing her lips. The only thing she could do was to prevent her cousin from suffering more humiliation during the verification of her virginity.

"We dare not. We are simply following the Family Head's orders to check if the Miss is still a virgin, there will be no other excessive actions!" they quickly said, bowing their heads.

With that, the two of them helped Xiao Chubing into the bedroom.

Murong Fei looked at the closed door, feeling suffocated at heart, as if she saw the shadow of her own future when she would be married off!
