Chapter 156: The Toxic Love Obsession in a Xianxia Story (18)

The conversation between the two was clearly heard by Si Yin beside them. Bai Mufeng's rejection had dealt a heavy blow to the Little Freak.

Her tears threatened to spill...

Ugh, of course that show-off wouldn’t spit out anything useful!

Pushing aside a flicker of pity, Si Yin quickly changed the subject, "Senior Brother... you said he’s your mission earlier?"

"What mission?"

"The sect tasked me with escorting him back to the capital."

With a brief explanation, Bai Mufeng shifted his gaze to Wang Dao and continued, "You’re the fifth prince of Great Yan?"

Wang Dao nodded, dazed.

Suddenly, a strange force lifted him as the voice of the white-robed cultivator echoed in his ears, "Come with me."

Wang Dao hurriedly shouted, "Wait!"

"I still have something to do!"

Bai Mufeng frowned, "What is it?"

Hanging in mid-air, Wang Dao shouted to Tang Qing, "Fairy, I am Wang Dao of the Great Yan Dynasty. Might I inquire your name, Fairy?"

When Tang Qing didn’t respond, Wang Dao persisted, "Pray tell me your name, Fairy!"

Irritated by the hold-up, Bai Mufeng spoke from above, "She’s Tang Qing. Now let’s go."

Wang Dao still refused to move...

Bai Mufeng: "Anything else?"

"Uh... Immortal, since you’re both from the Cloud Ripple Sect, why isn’t the fairy joining us?"

Remembering Tang Qing perched on that giant construct, Wang Dao couldn’t suppress his excitement.

Especially the way the fairy had looked at him earlier—like a divine presence...

Shuffling awkwardly, Wang Dao blurted, "I wish to stay by the fairy’s side!"

With her?

Bai Mufeng shut him down, "No."

"Not happening. Against the rules."

Without giving Wang Dao another chance to speak, Bai Mufeng, with a flick of his hand, summoned a gust of wind. Tang Qing’s figure blurred into the distance. In mere moments, the distance between them widened drastically.

By the time the two figures in the sky had completely vanished, Tang Qing’s tear finally fell.

Glistening, burning hot.

Si Yin’s heart ached watching it. Why him? Of all people, why Bai Mufeng?

Si Yin heaved a sigh, his outstretched hand hovering near Tang Qing's tear-streaked cheek, hesitating for a long moment before finally withdrawing.

With a hint of bitterness in his voice, he asked, "Fairy, did you already know Senior Brother Bai would appear here?"

No wonder she came down the mountain so suddenly—there was definitely something fishy going on. Seeing that show-off, Si Yin finally put two and two together.

So this was her game all along...

Too bad, it was unrequited love.

"Fairy, why bother..."

Tang Qing slowly turned her head, her eyes slightly red. Those clear eyes now held a hint of stubbornness as she spoke word by word, "It’s none of your damn business."

Seeing her reddened eyes, so unlike her usual self, Si Yin realized—she only ever acted this meekly around Bai Mufeng.

The thought churned with conflicting emotions in his chest—something between heartache and envy.

It sat like a stone in his chest.

System Notification: "Detected increase in Si Yin's Love Points. Current Love Points: 29."

That night.

A figure darted through the night. Upon closer look, it was the one-eyed rogue from earlier!

On his back lay another person—none other than the Diamond Demon Monk, whose arms she’d torn off.

Likely sustained by some life-saving potion, the Diamond Demon Monk's color had returned slightly to his face as he urged, "Hurry up!"

"Always rushing me!"

"If I didn't consider you a brother, I'd have left you for dead on the roadside!" The one-eyed rogue, burdened by his load, scowled. "I told you to drop it!"

"If anything happens, just know—I'm running first!"

With both arms missing, the Diamond Demon Monk's empty sleeves swayed as he spoke with seething resentment, "Relax, I checked—Bai Mufeng left during the day."

"Only that girl is left. What are you afraid of?"

The Diamond Demon Monk never imagined he'd be beaten by some girl!

The pain and rage of his lost arms today burned in him. That Taoist Soldier had blocked him earlier, but now—the tables had turned!

Without Bai Mufeng's Army Breaker Sword, he wanted to see what that girl could possibly do!

The mere thought of Tang Qing's face made the Diamond Demon Monk gritted his teeth in fury, wishing he could tear her flesh and skin her alive!

Just as they were racing forward, the one-eyed rogue suddenly sensed something wrong!

Wait—

Someone's here!

Alarmed, he skidded to a stop. "Who's there?"

Glancing back slightly, the one-eyed wanderer saw a completely unfamiliar face.

Don't recognize you.

But damn strong...

From this person emanated a powerful energy aura, and what was even stranger was that this energy seemed weirdly familiar to him.

Taking a cautious step back, the one-eyed wanderer demanded, "Who are you?"

"Don't you recognize me?" The newcomer didn't answer but instead looked at the Diamond Demon Monk behind him, slowly saying, "Long time no see, Diamond."

That voice...

The man who had just been fantasizing about how to deal with Tang Qing, his eyes nearly popped out of his head!

His head snapped up in shock, and he indeed saw those familiar eyes.

It was him...

"Never thought you'd still be alive."

"Tough little cockroach, aren't you?"

The newcomer continued, clearly he knew the Diamond Demon Monk.

The one-eyed wanderer whispered to the man behind him, "You know him?"

"Who is he?"

The Diamond Demon Monk's voice trembled with fear, "The Demonic Sect's Holy Son, Si Yin."

It was actually him!

Realizing this, the one-eyed wanderer gave a bitter laugh. Just my fucking luck today—not only encountering the Taoist Soldier but now being stopped by the Demonic Sect's Holy Son at night...

"Last time, I had Bi Xiu whack you. Seems the old man went behind my back and spared your life."

"Skulking in the shadows all this time, Diamond, you've had good fortune."

Closing his eyes, the Diamond Demon Monk turned deathly pale, "Holy Son, I was wrong."

"Now I've lost both arms... I'm just a cripple..."

"Please spare me!"

Si Yin sneered, "Don't play helpless with me."

"Weren't you just scheming to kill my girl?"

Someone of his?

That chick from before?

The one-eyed wanderer immediately realized—this Holy Son knew that girl from earlier!

"Mercy, Holy Son!"

"We were stupid! Since she's your friend, we're outta here!"

"Too late." With that light remark, the two men still begging for mercy instantly turned purple, as if their throats were being strangled, beads of sweat breaking out on their foreheads.

"Holy Son..."

"Mercy..."

The Diamond Demon Monk struggled to speak, but Si Yin had no patience left. His fingers tightened, and the two completely lost the chance to utter another word.

Having dealt with the scum, Si Yin turned to leave—when suddenly, a shrill shriek sliced through the air from behind!

It was the Army Breaker Sword!
