Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 85 - 76 The Sickly Coquette Has a Strong Offensiveness
Chapter 85: Chapter 76 The Sickly Coquette Has a Strong Offensiveness
"Sigh~ Nanzhi, do you want Lu... your ’husband’ to see this side of you?"
The voice of her Master, Xiao Yinruo, once again echoed in Zhu Nanzhi’s ear, causing her body to pause, and the Forget Love Taoist Skill and Sword Qi surrounding her quickly retracted.
Holding the sword horizontally in front of her, Zhu Nanzhi looked at Zhan Ming, entirely snow-white but casting a faint blue glow under the effect of spiritual power.
The sword’s blade, shimmering with a piercing Sword Qi, reflected her current expression, reminding her of the night when her husband wanted to refine her into a Sword Spirit.
At this moment, her expression was even more ’moving’ than her husband’s that night.
Zhu Nanzhi’s gaze slightly lowered, feeling a bit fortunate under her Master’s reminder.
Fortunate that she hadn’t said too much just now, and her expression hadn’t changed too drastically... otherwise, she surely would have scared her husband.
She didn’t want to scare her husband at all, especially since he still didn’t know her original purpose for poisoning him.
Once the poison is lifted, her husband’s vigilance would decrease, but if he knew that she also wanted to refine him into a Sword Spirit, he would surely be on guard all the time.
If that happened, she would never be able to refine her husband into a Sword Spirit again.
She would have to use gentle and steady means to make him lower his guard.
With that thought, Zhu Nanzhi called back the scabbard, sheathing Zhan Ming.
The wound on the back of her hand had already healed without leaving a scar due to the nature of the Pristine Immortal Body.
Zhu Nanzhi glanced at Mu Qingyue, clad in white purer than snow, yet wielding an odd black sword, and with a light snort returned to the ground.
Mu Qingyue didn’t know the reason why Zhu Nanzhi suddenly stopped, but she didn’t bother to think about it and also sheathed her sword and returned to the ground—
"I’ve long admired Mu Jianxian’s great name. Today, upon meeting you, I couldn’t resist seeking your guidance and accept my defeat willingly..."
With her left hand holding the sword, Zhu Nanzhi slightly raised her head, a breeze blowing a few locks of her hair across her forehead. In the sunlight, she showed not a trace of her earlier coldness.
With a gentle smile, she bowed to Mu Qingyue: "Thank you, ’Senior Sister’, for showing mercy for ’husband’s’ sake."
As the words fell, Mu Qingyue, just reaching the ground, couldn’t help but grip her sword scabbard tightly, her clothes fluttering like winter snowflakes.
Couldn’t resist?
Accept defeat willingly?
Thank you, Senior Sister?
For husband’s sake?
Mu Qingyue’s expression grew colder. Zhu Nanzhi’s words almost sounded like admitting to a relationship with her Junior Brother.
As if she were saying, "I am your Junior Brother’s wife, you can’t make a move on a man with a family."
Mu Qingyue pursed her cherry lips, clearly wanting the Junior Brother to be grateful for her mercy, but somehow, coming from Zhu Nanzhi’s mouth, everything felt twisted!
She could ’see’ the smile on Zhu Nanzhi’s face, making her increasingly infuriated at heart.
How did the Forget Love Path of Qingmiao Palace cultivate such a shameless little brat?
’Were it not for my mercy, do you think you would only have one wound on your body?’
At this moment, Mu Qingyue really wanted to ruthlessly smack this shameless woman with the sword scabbard...
Not far away, Xiao Yinruo gave Zhu Nanzhi a slightly surprised glance, did the good disciple she raised during her arduous cultivation period read some secret history of Dynasty palace fights?
Even knows how to advance by retreating...
"So exciting..." Zhao Shize murmured excitedly: "Why did they suddenly stop?"
The nearby Direct Disciples immediately gave him a sideways glance, thinking if you have the guts to be louder, see how the senior brother would shut you up.
Zhao Shize ignored their glances, watching the scene from ’Martial Arts Battle’ to ’intellectual competition’ with great interest, finding the mutual ridicule between the two women fascinating, especially when it was to compete for the senior brother’s affection.
Even more entertaining than the tunes from a brothel!
’But when did the senior brother, who has been in seclusion for so long, hook up with the Holy Daughter of Qingmiao Palace? Besides, Junior Master Pei seems to know about this, or else she wouldn’t keep it from the senior brother... Wait, does senior brother not know Zhu Nanzhi’s identity?’
’Then what’s the point of Junior Master Pei’s secrecy? Afraid the senior brother will rush to Qingmiao Palace, or worried Senior Mu will storm Qingmiao Palace...’
’Forget it, this kind of thing doesn’t matter...’
With anticipation, Zhao Shize looked towards Lu Jin’an, never expecting that the senior brother secretly got married behind Senior Mu’s back...
How would the senior brother respond to this?
At this time, Lu Jin’an was not too panicked, although a bit puzzled why Nanzhi had stopped, but he was more amazed by how Nanzhi’s verbal attacks did not slacken.
The silent Senior Sister was no match, right?
Adhering to the notion of ’balance,’ Lu Jin’an sidestepped to stand before Mu Qingyue, just about to speak.
"Hmph~"
Zhu Nanzhi’s face instantly returned to its cold guise, snorting softly and turning her head away from Lu Jin’an.
At this moment she looked exactly the same as when she had just disembarked from the Flying Boat, the Cold Saintess of Qingmiao Palace.
’Acting like this, husband should want to tear off my clothes and harshly punish the disobedient wife-Saintess even more, right?’
With narrowed eyes, Zhu Nanzhi thought with pleasure, unaware that while Lu Jin’an was surprised, he was quite happy to remain silent.
After all, once he started talking, he’d have to placate one side then the other, which would be too exhausting going back and forth.
Might as well separate them first, coax one, and then coax the other.
As for Nanzhi currently ignoring him... although Lu Jin’an didn’t know what her plan was, he wasn’t worried.
Not to mention Nanzhi’s earlier aggressive behavior towards Senior Sister, but also because he knew what kind of person Zhu Nanzhi was, he just assumed Nanzhi was sulking because Senior Sister was jealous.
Without showing any emotion, Lu Jin’an stepped over beside Zeng Suqin, bowing to Xiao Yinruo: "The junior pays his respects to Palace Master Xiao."
For now, settling down the people from Qingmiao Palace was a priority.
As Xiao Yinruo eyed this ’pig’ who possessed her precious disciple’s body and stole the disciple’s heart, He was indeed more outstanding than his portrait, but not to the extent of being universally charming...
Did he just happen to fit into Nanzhi’s heart?
"No need for formalities." Because Nanzhi was present, Xiao Yinruo didn’t put on airs and proceeded to give Nanzhi official recognition: "Since you are Nanzhi’s husband, you must take responsibility and treat her well, do you understand?"
Lu Jin’an lowered his hands, calmly gazing at Xiao Yinruo: "There are too many coincidences in this matter, and Nanzhi and I have an agreement. We will handle this ourselves."
"Oh?" Xiao Yinruo’s eyes narrowed slightly, her voice turning colder: "Look down upon Nanzhi?"
Feeling the intangible pressure from Xiao Yinruo, Lu Jin’an’s voice remained calm: "Each generation has its own fortune, why should seniors interfere in everything?
I’ve heard that senior does not tread the path of romance, the Forget Love Path, so you wouldn’t understand."
"..."
Listening to Lu Jin’an, Xiao Yinruo suddenly understood a bit why Nanzhi favored Lu Jin’an.
Both were quite good at slighting this ’old woman’!
"Hehe." Xiao Yinruo chuckled softly: "Since I am both Nanzhi’s Master and count as her mother, do you think by saying this, I will..."
Before she could finish, a voice from Taichu Peak directly interrupted Xiao Yinruo’s words—
"My disciple has made it very clear, so don’t act all high and mighty. If there’s anything to say, talk to me instead."
