novelMadam Xuanji Kicked a Metal Plate
| ← Ch.077 | Ch.079 → |
Watching Xiaoyao fading away, Xiao Qi came out from the corner. The woman behind him just observed quietly. She thought, "An infatuated man can do anything to get his lover. It seems that man is indeed a capricious species." Yu Xuanji knew well what Xiao Qi was thinking. The man was ready to leap into a boiling cauldron or a blazing fire for his lover. But when seeing his rival in love, the man would change all of a sudden. Yu Xuanji had seen clearly how ruthless the man was. He had clear targets, because he both could bear all kinds of humiliation for the woman's child, and could use unscrupulous divisive tactics for the woman, which was depended on his wrong thought made in a moment of weakness. However, Yu Xuanji needed such men. Chidi and Xiao Qi both had strong desires, who were the right persons that Yu Xuanji wanted to use. For a good hunter, patience was vital. Yu Xuanji was a beautiful woman who had a charming appearance that could captivate men. So to win a place for Baize in the three realms, Yu Xuanji thought she had to need some assistance, but she just did not know that whether she was able to dictate Chidi and Xiao Qi or not.
"Quite unwilling to let her go. Right?"
Yu Xuanji curled up the corner of her mouth. To make the man her prey, Yu Xuanji thought she had to arouse his curiosity. Yu Xuanji had the lust for dominating men. To become the woman on the top, it was a must to climb up on the men's shoulders. And would the man in front become Yu Xuanji's prey? Xiao Qi began reproaching himself, for he used Xiaoyao's child to barter with the woman in front. In fact, it was a golden chance for Xiaoyao to kill her enemy, but because of obstacle that Xiao Qi had set, Xiaoyao had to give up the chance. However, Xiao Qi fully understood how bitter and miserable Xiaoyao was to become homeless in other places, but Xiao Qi could not tolerate to see Xiaoyao love the other man. Yu Xuanji and Xiao Qi returned to the Courier Station, each of whom had their calculation. Chidi was waiting for his new wife in the meeting hall. Xiao Qi was unwilling to see Chidi, because Chidi had made Xiao Qi suffer great casualties in the battle with the fire tribe. Even worse, there was another man who was the last person that Xiao Qi wanted to see."Nascent Soul! Such an old guy. Hum! Let's wait and see how I will fix you in the future."
"The King of the Fairy Kingdom can let bygones be bygones. I really admire you."
Xiao Qi never thought that things could reverse so fast. It turned out that there were not forever enemies in front of interest. Xiao Qi felt disgusted to shake hands and make it up with Nascent Soul, but he also knew that there was no turning back as long as he took this step. Although he had despised the gangs, he had to become one of them, which tore Xiao Qi's heart. He did not fear that he would be hurt one day, but that Xiaoyao would detest him. However, without the counter-balance power, Xiao Qi thought he would never get Xiaoyao.
"Pay my respect to Devil God."
Xiao Qi lowered his head, and it was a real humiliation for him. The King of the Fairy Kingdom prostrated himself to Devil God. On the side, the Emperor of Qi Kingdom fixed his eyes on Xiao Qi, thinking that, "Although I just met him once, his power can't be underestimated." In fact, the Emperor of Qi Kingdom himself did not expect that he would work together with the person who he had fought against head-on-head. Fate did play tricks on them. Xiao Qi nodded his head at him to show respect.
"I should express my thanks to you today, Madam."
Chidi had more appreciation for his new wife. To his surprise, his wife did have some tactics; otherwise, he would have been unable to survive today. Recalling Jiang Wuyou's Spirit Power, Chidi felt frightened from the tips of his hair to the marrow of his very bones. How could Jiang Wuyou subdue him merely with a movement? Perhaps no opponent was able to defeat a person with such mighty Spirit Power. Chidi had gone through thick and thin to return to his Immortal Seat, but in the end, he was still inferior to a woman, which upset him a lot. In fact, the reason why Chidi had killed Black Emperor was to get the Divine Being Heavenly Book, but unexpectedly, the Heavenly Book fell into other's hands. But no matter what, Chidi thought he must be the master of the Heavenly Book.
"Has there been any news about Changxi's whereabouts?"
"Not yet, but the east side of the alley came a family."
"Go to check the alley. Be careful and do not miss anything."
In an inconspicuous corner, Xiao Ba kept paying attention to the inner room. When she heard the east side of the alley, she left quietly. Xiao Ba did not know what was called "collapse at the first blow" until she saw the fox spirit today. Xiao Ba's little hands gently touched her face that had been injured by the fox spirit, and she had to wear a mask due to that. She was not reconciled to it. Chidi once said the Heavenly Book could help to shed one's mortal body and exchange one's bones, so she was more willing to take this risk. The family was located on the east side of the Immense Sea. Even if it was like looking for a needle in a haystack, Xiao Ba also wanted to try. Beauty was a natural temptation for women, and she was willing to make attempts even at the cost of life. Xiao Ba paid close attention to each family along the corner of the street, and her soul essence had the skill to penetrate the wall. Behind her was a black figure— Yu Xuanji, the new wife of Chidi. The two women went stealthily down, the one after the other and each with her own axe to grind. Xiao Ba wanted beauty while Madam Xuanji wanted infinite Spirit Power. Their different ambitions would lead to different consequences for sure. Xiao Ba flew to a family that was situated on the east of the alley with a forest behind. Yu Xuanji followed her to the roof. And the scent of lotus flowers assailed the nostrils. Xiao Ba moved to the wing room. Perhaps the family got used to sleep early, so the candlelight was out in the rooms. Yu Xuanji flew down, but only to feel a stinging on her back. She was shocked, guessing whether she had been spotted by Xiao Ba. However, when she twisted around, she found it was a man. Nie Xiaowu held a dagger in his hand up against Yu Xuanji's neck. Nie Xiaowu happened to run into her as she was lurking and sneaking here like a ghost.
"You... and you. Come to my home for stealing or murdering?"
Nie Xiaowu caught Xiao Ba, thinking that this female ghost was more audacious and dared to penetrate the wall of Jiang Wuyou's inner room. Yu Xuanji never expected that she would be caught on the spot. She was racking her brain to think of a method of escaping. But she failed. Nie Xiaowu picked up them out of the courtyard. He thought if he had not returned home in time, no one knew what evil deeds the two women would have conducted.
"If you refuse to answer..."
The tip of the dagger was against Xiao Ba's face, and the chilling light pressed hard on the top of the head. Xiao Ba slumped on the ground. Yu Xuanji hated the spineless people, so she straightened her breast forward and rubbed Nie Xiaowu, hoping to fence off the blade light by her glamor. However, the man showed no mercy to her. Besides Xiao Qi, it was just the man who had no pity for her.
"The saber does not have eyes."
Nie Xiaowu slit Yuan Xuanji's face with the dagger, and she turned pale at his move. Her little hands were stained with blood. Yu Xuanji did not expect that the man would be so ruthless and cruel that he would disfigure her face with a cut. Xiao Ba herself had never seen such brutal scene before.
"Chidi sent me here."
Originally, Xiao Ba was a weak female ghost, attaching great importance to her appearance. So she was frightened by Nie Xiaowu's behavior and did not dare to make mess any longer. Compared to Yu Xuanji, Xiao Ba did not have too great ambition, and all she wanted was to take a small revenge. Since her Spirit Power was inferior to Jiang Wuyou's, she just hoped to transform into a beauty with some ability, just like Yu Xuanji who could enjoy the indulgence of men. But unexpectedly, she and Yu Xuanji kicked a metal plate today. The man gave no heed to Yu Xuanji at all, so Xiao Ba had to take a second choice— to confess everything, merely hoping to suffer less pains of skin and flesh.
"Is it Chidi who sent you here?"
Nie Xiaowu narrowed his eyes and sized them up and down. It seemed that the female ghost did not lie to him. Did Chidi come here also for the Pangu Divine Being Heavenly Book? Nie Xiaowu thought it was not so easy to rob the Book against himself and Pangu's thing could only belong to himself. How dared Chidi was! Nie Xiaowu pressed hard at the two women. Xiao Ba was so horrified that she wanted to change into a wisp of smoke and escape. But she was rolled back by Spirit Power. Yu Xuanji conjured Seduction Skill, which was a trump card of the women of Baize. And no man could resist it. Yu Xuanji's eyes were transforming as wisps of souls circle diffused outwards and her body was squirming in the flowing light. She danced seductively, which made her thin waist more luring and her shaking breast faintly enchanting. Her red lips opened gently, and a hot flush took on her face. She arched her eyebrow slightly, and the eyelashes fluttered. Yu Xuanji's whole body distributed delicate fragrance that could allure a man. Just imagine, an enchanting woman was sent to the front of a hot-blooded man. What would happen? Xiao Ba thought she had been charming enough, but seeing Yu Xuanji, she had to acknowledge the superiority of Yu Xuanji's charm. Nie Xiaowu approached to Yu Xuanji slowly, as if he had met his lover after being apart for a long time, his eyes wistful. Watching Nie Xiaowu stepping toward Yu Xuanji, Xiao Ba gaped with shock, puzzling why the two would change like that. Was there a flare-up of tension between them as if the swords were about to be drawn and bows bent? Why did they hug each other like lovers and even kiss? But when Xiao Ba came to herself, she realized that there was no sensuality at all. Although Yu Xuanji was embraced tightly by the man, she was pricked deeply by the saber. Xiao Ba looked at Xuanji's bleeding abdomen, where the saber penetrated deeply. Yu Xuanji let out two sneers and pulled out the saber, her eyes wide with bloodthirsty hatred. She thought the man was not a common person, because he had conjured illusion on her unknowingly and cracked down her seduction skills so easily. A man with so formidable power hid himself in such a small alley. Yu Xuanji took a few steps back on full alert. Even if the man was killing a person, he still looked radiant. Yu Xuanji thought, "In the man's eyes, I am so worthless as a nonentity."
"Tell Chidi, this is Nie Xiaowu's house. I will kill anyone who dares to barge in."
The two women did not dare to make a fuss any longer and fled. Only the two people knew that they were forbidden to step into the house from then on. Today, the two women went for wool and came back shorn, even almost lost their own lives. Nie Xiaowu looked at the courtyard behind him and walked to the Bamboo Tower to see if the woman was scared. But when he walked to the corner, he withdrew, because on second thought, he thought it was kind of inappropriate. Then, he went down the Tower quietly. However, Wuyou had already woken up. Wuyou could not figure out why her body became so alert then, since she could see distinctly what had happened in the courtyard just now. Although Nie Xiaowu's Spirit Power looked rather common, he was able to oppress Yu Xuanji all the time. Both the two women used Seduction Skills, but still lost in front of the man.
Wuyou could not understand what had happened tonight. Her whole body was full of Spirit Power, more powerful than before. But Wuyou knew that it was not Ancient Spirit's power, but from alien space. Wuyou seemed to be born with the power, able to utilize it at her fingertips. She even could defeat Chidi with a movement. How powerful it was! Wuyou's body became light, her veins opened up, and her arms and legs were wrapped by the Spirit Power. Wuyou felt she had been reborn. In order not to attract others' attention, Wuyou concealed her true look under the mask. Thinking about Xiao Douya's round eyes, Wuyou softened her knotted eyebrows. Xiao Douya could not understand why his mother was so changeable. Wuyou walked out of the room, while Nie Xiaowu was sitting alone in the courtyard.
"Xiaowu." The woman's soft voice rang in the courtyard. Nie Xiaowu was a bit surprised that the woman was able to speak. It seemed that the treatment of Goddess of the Moon had worked.
"Why are you going down? It is too late. Please go to sleep."
The woman, like his family member, had rooted in his heart, and was hard to erase. For some unknown reason, Nie Xiaowu felt rather irritated tonight.
"I want to tell you that Xiao Douya and I will return to my hometown after several days."
"Do you have to go?"
"Yes. I miss my hometown very much."
"You... please remember the Immense Sea!"
In fact, Nie Xiaowu wanted to say, "Please remember Nie Xiaowu." But he swallowed back the words on the tip of his tongue. He felt something empty in his heart. The woman was about to leave. Nie Xiaowu wondered who would have the fortune to protect her afterwards, and felt disappointed and lost although they were like family members. He turned around to leave, and those unknown mood pressed him. He walked to the wing room slowly. However, Wuyou did not know the man's thought at all, thinking that it was because Nie Xiaowu was tired. Although it had been at midnight, Wuyou was not tired at all. Thinking that her husband lived next door, she jumped onto the high wall. But to her surprise, she fell into a person's arms without seeing clearly.
"My husband."
Xu Linghe held Wuyou in his arms and sat on the high wall. The two stared at each other quietly.
