Chapter 190: The Malicious Love Obsession in Xianxia (52)
by 毛毛崽崽Chapter 190: The Toxic Love Addict in Xianxia (52)
Too late!
Only then did Si Yin realize the Second Elder’s sinister scheme.
First, he had tricked them into complacency by promising to release them in three moments, only to wait until both Si Yin and Bai Mufeng had ascended into mid-air before using spiritual energy to manipulate Bai Mufeng’s Army Breaker Sword again!
“You Cloud Ripple bastards have no shame!”
Furious, Si Yin, hovering in mid-air, cursed directly at He Yong, “If I die today, He Yong…”
“For all eternity, my demon realm will hunt your sect down to extinction!”
“Just you wait!”
He Yong’s face no longer showed the earlier distress, now coldly calm as he sneered, “Hmph, you’ll never manage it.”
“Once my disciple achieves the Great Dao, what is your demon realm worth?”
Once Bai Mufeng masters the Heartless Way, he will become an immortal!
Backed by an immortal, how could the Cloud Ripple Sect fear a mere demon realm?
From the very beginning, He Yong had never intended for Bai Mufeng to abandon the Heartless Way!
“Mufeng, go claim your destiny…”
In mid-air, the Army Breaker Sword pulsed with lethal energy, chasing straight toward Tang Qing!
“Dammit—”
Si Yin had already pushed his speed to its limits, but it was futile.
The distance was too close!
As the sword’s energy slashed toward them, his eyes hardened…
So be it!
As long as the Little Pervert lives…
In that split second, Si Yin’s fingers twitched, forming a hand seal as he poured every ounce of his spiritual energy!
“Tang Qing! Just run!”
A furious roar echoed behind her as Tang Qing felt a surge of spiritual energy forcibly propel her forward, accelerating her speed once more. In the blink of an eye, she was hurled even farther away.
“Great Five Elements True Art! Go!”
At such a critical moment, Si Yin didn’t use his killing move—instead, he employed the Great Five Elements True Art to send Tang Qing even farther away!
“No!”
Realizing what Si Yin intended, Tang Qing shrieked, “Si Yin! Come back!”
Too late!
The instant Si Yin activated the Great Five Elements True Art, the Army Breaker Sword brutally impaled his chest!
A muffled thud rang out as Si Yin's chest bloomed crimson.
The spark in his once-bright eyes flickered and died.
Midair, Si Yin's body hurtled downward.
So this was the truth... what Little Pervert always said—taking the Army Breaker Sword through the heart really hurt.
Holding onto his last moments of awareness, Si Yin turned his head slightly and, from far away, saw Tang Qing's tears.
You're crying... again...
He raised his hand, wanting to wipe away her tears.
But his arm wouldn't move—no strength left at all.
It felt like he had seen her cry many times before.
How wonderful... that this time, those tears were for him.
Tang Qing,
Since Bai Mufeng loves you, and he has already forsaken the Heartless Way... no barriers remain between you.
The open wilderness, boundless freedom—I leave them all to you.
In his fading consciousness, Si Yin's mind flashed back to that Ruyi Lantern from before.
Its inscription proved prophetic:
"May all your wishes come true, may fortune favor your path."
Tang Qing.
May you...
have all your wishes granted,
and all matters proceed smoothly.
System Announcement: "Mission parameters fulfilled. Initiating world transition."
"Transitioning to next destination. Host, please prepare accordingly."

"Did you hear? Demon Si Yin has fallen!"
"The Cloud Ripple Sect truly lives up to its reputation—they actually managed to slay that demon!"
"I also heard that the Taoist Soldier Bai Mufeng abandoned his Dao Heart, turned traitor against the Cloud Ripple Sect, and disappeared without a trace. He still hasn't been found..."
"Didn't he already betray his sect? Why would the Cloud Ripple Sect still be looking for him?"
...
Amid the surrounding gossip, a cloaked man sat silently in the corner, uttering not a word.
"Your tea cakes, honored guest."
A waiter brought out the freshly made tea biscuits and placed them before the man. "Sir, does your lady really enjoy our tea biscuits this much?"
"She's been eating them for two weeks straight!"
The visitor nodded lightly. "Yes."
"She likes them."
His voice was soft, yet the waiter, accustomed to the comings and goings of people, immediately noticed how pleasant it sounded—clear and resonant, with an indescribable quality that made it unforgettable after just one hearing.
Somehow, this customer didn't seem entirely human.
Probably some kind of immortal...
Even immortals liked his tea biscuits—his baking must be divine.
Thinking this, the waiter cheerfully went to attend to the next customer.
Meanwhile, the hooded figure walked to the corner of the alley, his form shimmered briefly before vanishing without a trace!
When he reappeared, he was already inside a courtyard.
Holding the pastries, he gently pushed open the door.
"Tang Qing, the tea biscuits are here." Removing his cloak, the man revealed his usual white robes—revealing none other than Bai Mufeng!
The Bai Mufeng before her was nothing like the rumors suggested.
It was said that masters of the Heartless Way were the most indifferent, especially the Cloud Ripple Sect's Taoist Soldier.
This man was known to be cold and emotionless, never betraying the slightest emotion over the years. Yet the person before her now wore a subtle smile.
He gazed warmly at the woman before him. "Tang Qing, here’s your treat."
The tea biscuit he handed her was still piping hot, straight from the oven, utterly enticing.
The woman called Tang Qing had a slightly vacant expression in her eyes.
She instinctively took the tea biscuit. "Mufeng, do you smell something?"
"You mean the tea biscuit?"
Seemingly puzzled by her question, Bai Mufeng sat down beside her. "It’s from your favorite shop. Is something wrong with it today?"
"Not the tea biscuit..."
Nestling against Bai Mufeng, Tang Qing murmured, "Do you smell incense?"
Bai Mufeng’s expression flickered momentarily before quickly recovering. "There’s no incense."
"Tang Qing, don't worry about it. If you’re tired, go to sleep."
"Why are you suddenly telling me to sleep again..." Holding the tea biscuit, Tang Qing mumbled, "Strange... as soon as you say 'sleep,' I do feel a bit drowsy."
Her eyelids grew leaden, and she instinctively yawned.
Before she could say anything more to Bai Mufeng, the tea biscuit tumbled from her grasp and fell onto the table...
She had fallen asleep.
Gazing at Tang Qing as she slept, Bai Mufeng stayed quiet for a good while.
Then, he gently picked her up and placed her on the bed...
The usual coldness gone, his eyes were filled with tenderness as he gazed steadily at the person before him, murmuring, "Sleep. You'll feel better when you wake up."
Half-asleep, Tang Qing faintly made out a man's face.
In his eyes, there was the same joy as Bai Mufeng's.
He said,
"May all your wishes come true, and everything go smoothly."
He said,
"Don't look back."
...
Why shouldn't she look back?
Who was he?
In the midst of this familiar dream, Tang Qing suddenly opened her eyes!
Another dizzy spell hit her, her head still foggy. Sitting on the edge of the bed, she waited for the room to stop spinning before finally taking in her surroundings.
Where am I?
The next moment, Bai Mufeng came through the door, carrying those morning tea cakes. Smiling gently, he said, "Had a feeling you'd wake up."
