Eastern Wilderness, Incense Burning Immortal Valley.
“Look! Elder Luo is back.”
“Elder Luo really did kidnap someone and bring him back!”
“No! My Elder Luo! How could you fall in love with another man?”
“Hmph! I’m the man Elder Luo will never be able to obtain.”
The disciples of Incense Burning Immortal Valley erupted into an uproar when they saw Luo Qiongyan return with Li Qing.
“So this is Incense Burning Immortal Valley. It really is a blessed cultivation paradise.”
Li Qing gazed at the sect before him, which resembled an immortal realm, and admiration appeared in his eyes.
Luo Qiongyan smiled sweetly and pinched Li Qing’s cheek. “Well? Not bad, is it? Now that we’ve reached the sect, let’s see how you can possibly escape.”
[Heh, do you really think I couldn’t escape? It’s not like I didn’t have opportunities to slip away along the way.]
[The only reason I stayed is because there’s some juicy gossip coming up in Incense Burning Immortal Valley. Otherwise, I would’ve escaped long ago.]
Although Luo Qiongyan had kept an extremely close watch on Li Qing throughout their journey, there were still occasional moments when she became distracted. If Li Qing had truly wanted to escape, it was not as though he had no opportunity.
‘Gossip?’
‘What kind of gossip is there in Incense Burning Immortal Valley? Is it something delicious?’
Luo Qiongyan was slightly stunned.
“Buzz.”
At that moment, a dazzling sword light suddenly soared from within Incense Burning Immortal Valley. It transformed into a divine sword that seemed to pierce straight through the heavens.
[Here it comes! Perfect timing!]
[Because of this incident, the Sword Pavilion of Incense Burning Immortal Valley will decline for the next 300 years.]
‘What?’
Luo Qiongyan froze again.
The Sword Pavilion of Incense Burning Immortal Valley represented the pinnacle of the sect’s core combat strength. What could possibly happen that would cause it to decline for 300 years?
However, although Luo Qiongyan belonged to Incense Burning Immortal Valley, she did not have much affection for the sect. Whether Incense Burning Immortal Valley flourished or declined had nothing to do with her.
“Husband, it’s time for us to return and consummate our marriage.”
Luo Qiongyan had no interest in getting involved. Right now, she only had eyes for Li Qing, and her foremost goal was to win his heart.
[No way. You’re actually serious?]
[The bridal chamber? You’re only a fragment of a soul. Sooner or later, your true body will absorb you. I don’t want to become a widower in the future.]
[Since you’re destined to disappear, I’m not going to waste my feelings on you.]
Li Qing curled his lips.
Luo Qiongyan frowned and pinched his arm hard. “What kind of expression is that? Are you disgusted with me?”
At the same time, she silently thought, ‘You little bastard, you’re right. I really will disappear one day. However, my true body will absorb all the experiences and memories of this fragment, and she cannot avoid them. If I truly develop feelings for you, it doesn’t necessarily mean there will be no result at all.’
“How could that be? My wife is so beautiful. How could I possibly dislike you?” Li Qing’s eyes darted around as he spoke.
‘He called me his wife.’
‘Could it be…’
Li Qing pointed toward the direction of the sword light. “Wife, it looks pretty lively over there. Why don’t we go take a look?”
‘Heh. A man’s mouth really is full of lies.’
‘I thought he had finally developed feelings for me, but it turns out he only wants to watch the excitement.’ Find the original chapter at novelping.com.
Luo Qiongyan rolled her eyes at Li Qing.
“We can go watch if you want.” Luo Qiongyan pinched Li Qing’s chin. “But you have to promise me that after we finish watching, you’ll consummate our marriage with me.”
“No problem. Whatever my wife says.” Li Qing hurriedly nodded in agreement.
[Hmph. Consummating the marriage is impossible. I’ll never consummate the marriage with you in this lifetime.]
[Just wait. I’ll slip away when the time comes.]
‘Heh. You want to escape?’
‘Then let’s see if you have the ability.’
Luo Qiongyan smiled sweetly at Li Qing.
Li Qing lowered his voice. “Um… Wife, could you let go of me first? Being held like this doesn’t look very good. We can hold hands instead. Don’t worry, I won’t run.”
“Whatever you say, Husband.”
Luo Qiongyan smiled and immediately took Li Qing’s hand.
Li Qing sprang out of Luo Qiongyan’s embrace like a compressed spring.
[Holy crap. If she kept holding me like that, I’d probably be burning with desire soon.]
[Doesn’t she have any idea what kind of figure she has?]
[Remaining completely unmoved with a beauty in one’s arms isn’t a realm just anyone can reach.]
[I’ve lost count of how many times I recited, “Let my heart remain as clear as ice, unmoved even if the heavens collapse,” throughout this journey.]
“Pfft.”
Luo Qiongyan burst into laughter after hearing Li Qing’s inner thoughts.
‘So I’m not completely unattractive to him after all.’
[What is this woman laughing about?]
[You’re practically a primordial beast.]
Luo Qiongyan glared fiercely at Li Qing. “Husband, remember what you promised. If you dare run away afterward, I’ll castrate you.”
“Don’t worry. I definitely won’t run.” Li Qing patted his chest confidently.
[Hmph. Just watch me run.]
Luo Qiongyan glanced at Li Qing before taking his hand and flying toward the Sword Pavilion.
Not long afterward, the two arrived in the sky above the plaza near the Sword Pavilion.
By now, the area was already packed with disciples of Incense Burning Immortal Valley.
“You ungrateful disciple! Why did you steal the secret manual from the pavilion? And why did you injure your Junior Sister and destroy her dantian?”
A beautiful middle-aged woman was trembling with rage as she pointed at a young man kneeling before her.
[So this is Luo Bei, the Fortunate Genius. As expected, he was born with Sword Bones.]
Li Qing’s gaze immediately settled on the young man.
[Ding! The system has detected that some gossip has ripened. Congratulations, host. You may begin eating gossip.]
In the novel Tyrant of Tyrants, the strongest characters were naturally the Children of Destiny. However, to emphasize just how extraordinary the Children of Destiny were, the author had also created many Fortunate Geniuses. By having those Fortunate Geniuses encounter the Children of Destiny, the author could give the latter even more opportunities to show off and slap others in the face.
However, this fellow had a rather miserable beginning. He had been falsely accused by someone…
‘Wait a damn minute. Wasn’t I falsely accused at the beginning too?’
That brain-dead author really loved using this kind of plot.
Luo Bei looked somewhat helpless as he replied, “Master, I did not steal the secret manual. As for Junior Sister’s dantian… her dantian…”
The beautiful middle-aged woman’s face was filled with disappointment. “Can’t come up with an excuse anymore?”
“Senior Brother Luo, Junior Sister has always liked you so much, yet you were cruel enough to do this to her. Are you even human?”
“Junior Brother Luo, do you have any idea how much Junior Sister likes you?”
“Just two days ago, Junior Sister went to the Sword Tomb to search for a spirit sword for you and came back covered in wounds. You’re worse than a beast!”
The nearby Sword Pavilion disciples began condemning Luo Bei one after another.
“I won’t allow you to speak about Senior Brother Luo like that!”
A sweet-looking young woman rushed in front of Luo Bei and shielded him behind her.
“Senior Brother Luo didn’t destroy my dantian on purpose. I don’t blame Senior Brother Luo.”
[Damn. So this is Yun Biluo, the top-tier green tea of Incense Burning Immortal Valley? With the way she talks, she could turn the entire Incense Burning Immortal Valley green.]
[Poor Luo Bei is going to be completely ruined by this green tea.]
[If anyone is to blame, it’s because one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.]
[You possess Sword Bones, while she possesses Sword Eyes.]
[She wants the Sword Pavilion’s ultimate treasure, the Emperor Shitian Sword Dao Origin, as well.]
[Otherwise, with her aptitude, why would she ever take an interest in Incense Burning Immortal Valley?]
‘Green tea?’
‘What kind of tea is that?’
Luo Qiongyan looked puzzled.
‘Emperor Shitian Sword Dao Origin?’
‘How is that possible? Incense Burning Immortal Valley actually possesses such a profound foundation?’
A trace of astonishment appeared in Luo Qiongyan’s eyes.
[Tsk, tsk. This little green tea is really good at pretending. She clearly has two dantians, and the one that was destroyed was nothing more than a useless dantian. Yet she’s deliberately retreating to advance, all so she can completely destroy Luo Bei in one move.]
[As expected of the reincarnation of the Heavenly Demon Empress. Even after living another lifetime, she’s still so unbelievably manipulative. What a fine bottle of green tea.]
Li Qing shook his head.
‘Heavenly Demon Empress?’
‘A reincarnated body?’
Luo Qiongyan was stunned once again.
Then another thought suddenly occurred to her.
‘Why does Li Qing keep thinking about green tea?’
‘Maybe after we consummate our marriage, I should ask him to brew some for me.’
Luo Qiongyan tightened her grip on Li Qing’s hand.
