Chapter 176 Magic and Potion 1
Nan Xi felt a severe headache, and heard insults and the sound of fists hitting flesh in her ears, followed by severe pain in her body.
"If you don't obey me, I will beat you to death..."
She tried hard to open her eyes and found that she was being beaten by a man with red hair, green eyes and a fleshy face. There was a fierce light in his eyes and his fists rained down on her.
The moment Marcus swung his punch again, Nan Xi reacted instantly. She grabbed Marcus' wrist and twisted it hard, causing Marcus to fall head over heels.
Marcus widened his eyes, totally unable to believe that his seemingly weak wife could have so much strength.
He tried to struggle, but Nan Xi clamped his wrists tightly like a pair of pliers, making him unable to move.
Nan Xi didn't give him a chance to breathe. She punched Marcus's acupuncture points several times in succession, each punch filled with anger and strength.
It was obvious that this man was a repeat offender. The original owner must have been beaten by him often. She wanted to return all the pain to this man and let him taste the feeling of a critical hit.
Marcus' screams echoed in the room, but his wails did not soften Nan Xi's hands.
Marcus tried to resist, but Nan Xi was completely ignited by anger. Her fists rained down on Marcus, leaving him unable to fight back.
Finally, Marcus fell to the ground in pain like a bag of rags, unable to move. Nan Xi stood up, panting, her forehead was covered with sweat, but her body felt very clear and refreshed. As expected, beating up a scumbag can release the mammary glands.
Nan Xi took a look and found that there were a pile of ropes in the room, which were just right for tying up men. After she tied the man up, memories came flooding back.
?
This is the continent of Aeris, a world of magic and swordsmanship.
The body's name was Nicole Haven. She was the daughter of a noble, seventeen years old. A month ago, she was forced to marry the cruel man Marcus Hawke because of a political marriage.
Marcus is a thirty-year-old widower. His three wives have all passed away. Everyone knows that there is something fishy going on, but because of Marcus's noble status, the families of his three wives dare not pursue the matter.
It was only after Nicole got married that she found out that Marcus had a hidden illness, which was why he was so violent.
For the past month, Nicole had been beaten and cursed by Marcus every night.
Today, Marcus was drunk and accidentally beat Nicole severely. She had three broken ribs, fractured arms and legs, and damaged internal organs. She had to stay in bed for a month.
Nicole hadn't seen Marcus for a month. After his injury healed, Marcus became much gentler to her.
Nicole could have endured all the hardships for herself, but who knew that Marcus just changed his strategy, as he already had three dead wives and was afraid that things would get out of hand and end badly.
Therefore, he was nice to Nicole on the surface, but secretly drugged her and wanted to send her to the partner at the drinking table.
Nicole refused to obey and struggled to jump out of the window, dying on the spot.

Nan Xi walked to the mirror and stared at herself in the mirror. Her hair was messy and her clothes were untidy, but there was no scar on her face.
Looking closely, the original owner's face was extremely beautiful. Her facial features were delicate and three-dimensional, her skin was as white as jade, delicate and lustrous, and her eyes were as deep as autumn water, revealing mystery and grace in their movement.
Only by pulling open the collar can you see the bruises underneath.
Marcus is quite vicious. When he beats people, he specifically targets sensitive parts of the body, but his face remains intact so that outsiders cannot see it.
Nan Xi smiled slightly, and that smile was as warm as the sunshine, able to melt the coldness in people's hearts.
But in Marcus's eyes, his little wife was like a poisonous spider, and fear appeared in his eyes.
Nan Xi gave him a cold look, turned around and walked out of the room.
This is the small compartment next to Marcus' bedroom. At night, he does not allow the maids to enter here, so there is no one outside now.
Nan Xi returned to her room and prepared a big gift for Marcus.
At this moment, Marcus was like a fish thrown into a fishing net, flapping his arms and legs frantically, trying to break free.
His mouth was stuffed tightly with smelly socks and he could only make "woohoo" sounds, sounding like a helpless puppy.
His hands were tied tightly with hemp rope, and the veins on his fingers were bruised, but it was no use. He lay on the ground, twisting his body hard, and his body was twisted into a knot.
"Uh...uh uh..."
His face was filled with fear and despair; sweat mixed with tears flowed down his cheeks, soaking his collar.
No one heard his cry for help. He tried desperately to make a sound, but because the maids were afraid of him, no one dared to approach him.
As time went by, Marcus's strength gradually ran out. His struggles became weaker and weaker, and his eyes gradually lost focus.
Marcus felt as if his body was being swallowed by endless darkness, and his heart was filled with fear and despair.
An hour later, Nan Xi came back and took out the smelly socks.
"Here, take your medicine."
Marcus looked at Nan Xi with fear and resistance on his face.
"No... I won't eat it, you vicious woman. I order you as a noble to let me go quickly."
Nan Xi chuckled, "That's a nice thought."
"Since you won't listen, I'll have to do it myself."
Nan Xi grabbed Marcus' chin. Her fingers were as strong as pliers and she forcefully dislocated Marcus' jaw.
Marcus screamed in pain, his eyes filled with endless fear and pain. He looked at Nan Xi as if he saw a messenger from hell.
Nan Xi didn't give him any chance to react. She pushed harder and Marcus' jaw was instantly dislocated. He almost fainted from the pain, but there was no mercy in Nan Xi's eyes.
He picked up the medicine and threw it into Marcus' mouth. Marcus immediately became unable to make any sound. His eyes became heavier and heavier, and finally he was completely motionless.
This is a pill specially made for Marcus, and Nan Xi named it "Awakening Dream".
Marcus' body will lose consciousness, but his soul will be awake. He will fall into endless darkness and will not be able to wake up.
Nan Xi also gave him some spiritual spring water to repair his scarred body.
"Enjoy this dark world."
Nan Xi carried Marcus to the bed in his bedroom, covered him with a blanket, then turned and left the room, leaving Marcus struggling alone in the dark.
Nan Xi returned to the room and entered the Lingquan space. This body was already covered with scars and its internal organs were also damaged to varying degrees. It must be repaired properly, otherwise it might not live long.
Nan Xi drank a cup of diluted spiritual spring water, which attracted spiritual energy to slowly repair her body.
