As the voice echoed, a figure walked in through the doorway.
She wore a light blue gauze dress, with three thousand strands of hair cascading naturally down her back, and a purple jade bracelet adorning her right wrist.
Her features were exquisite, her eyes bright, her teeth perfect—an absolute beauty that could topple cities.
After entering, she looked at Su Yan, amusement in her eyes.
Hearing Shen Qingqiu’s words, Su Yan’s once-hopeful heart sank to the bottom.
Only now did he realize how laughable everything he had said was earlier.
No amount of explanation could outweigh the fact that Su Chen had pushed someone off a cliff.
“May I ask for your name, miss?” Su Yan took a deep breath and bowed.
This woman’s aura was noble, like a fairy from the heavens.
She looked like a kind person. Maybe she would spare the Su family.
“Well, well, my name is quite well-known in the martial world. Whoever I stab with my shit-dipped spear dies.”
Su Yan’s mouth twitched. “I shouldn’t have asked.”
Everyone in the hall: “….”
Dongfang Wudao gave her a glance, curiosity in his eyes. He hadn’t expected another Chosen One to show up.
…
Name: Shen Qingqiu
Identity: Chosen One
Physique: Innate Dao Body
Cultivation Technique: Innate Dao Scripture
Aura: Fortune Halo
Strength: Early-stage Divine Sea Realm
Fortune Value: 5 million
…
Dongfang Wudao’s eyelids twitched at the sight of her Fortune Value.
[Master, this woman is also a transmigrator. She’s here to capture your heart and stop your blackening.]
“So she has a system too?”
[Correct. I can only hide from her system for now. I can’t devour it unless I level up again.]
“It doesn’t matter. Since she came to stop my blackening, then I’ll just slowly let her fall first.”
[Master, you’re so cunning.]
Shen Qingqiu looked at Dongfang Wudao, and when she saw his appearance, her heart trembled.
He was so good-looking. Just look at that brow bone, the red cinnabar mole between his brows, and those eyes—if she plucked them out and preserved them, they’d make a beautiful specimen.
As expected of a blackened villain cannon fodder—he was hot. I officially declare him my type.
According to the novel, after blackening, no woman ever entered Dongfang Wudao’s heart. Don’t tell me he likes men?
There are so many dazzling male characters in this novel. Should I try matchmaking them?
[Little Master, be more reserved. Stop acting like an idiot. You look completely brainless.]
[Little Master, don’t forget your mission!]
“What mission? Get lost. Let me enjoy this moment.”
Dongfang Wudao, seated above, frowned and stared at Shen Qingqiu.
For some reason, the way she looked at him felt like she was admiring a specimen.
“My apologies for the earlier offense. I beg for Young Master’s forgiveness.”
Su Yan no longer paid attention to Shen Qingqiu. He now believed this woman had serious mental issues.
“Since you misspoke… then just kill her.”
Dongfang Wudao’s words pierced through everyone like icy blades.
“Dongfang Wudao, I’ll take full responsibility. If you’ve got the guts, come at me. You’re just a petty coward!”
Smack!
Before Su Chen could finish, Shen Qingqiu slapped him flying.
“You…”
Dongfang Wudao remained silent, watching from above. Since she came to stop him, she would try getting close. He’d give her a stage and see what kind of show she would put on. If it displeased him, he’d deal with her afterward.
Shen Qingqiu took a deep breath, ascended the steps, and stood before Dongfang Wudao.
As she approached, her heart beat faster.
So beautiful. This man was pure temptation.
If he were in her world, he’d instantly make a fortune as a gigolo.
Who knew how many rich women would fight over him?
She lowered her gaze briefly. Even seated, Dongfang Wudao’s silhouette showed a bulge.
What great assets…
Ahem, now’s not the time for fantasies.
This was her chance to get close to Dongfang Wudao.
She had read the original novel. After he blackened, he nearly massacred the entire Hongmeng Immortal Domain.
She also felt he was kind of pitiful.
“Young Master, I wonder… would you grant me the opportunity to discipline this ‘loving couple’?”
Dongfang Wudao raised his slender index finger and gently lifted Shen Qingqiu’s chin.
A smile played on his lips.
“Do you know the consequences… if I’m not pleased?”
Shen Qingqiu met his gaze, then lowered her head.
Her skin flushed, delicate and tender.
Bah! Shen Qingqiu, what are you thinking?
You’re here to stop his blackening, not to fall for him!
She suppressed her racing heart.
“If Young Master is dissatisfied… I’ll accept whatever punishment you see fit.”
She looked at Dongfang Wudao with an expectant gaze, as if saying: Come on, try me!
Dongfang Wudao withdrew his finger.
“Very well. Let me see what you can do.”
“If you satisfy me, I’ll give you a chance to stay by my side.”
Shen Qingqiu looked up, excitement gleaming in her eyes.
But when her gaze met Dongfang Wudao’s again, she lowered her head once more.
She knew—Dongfang Wudao would never go back on his word.
Shen Qingqiu stepped down and walked up to Si Hanyue.
Si Hanyue kept her head low the entire time.
Facing Shen Qingqiu, she couldn’t help but feel inferior.
In terms of looks, figure, and presence—they were worlds apart.
“So even you know what inferiority feels like?”
Shen Qingqiu’s opening line nearly made Si Hanyue spit blood.
“You…”
“Tsk tsk. Seeing you like this, I feel like giving you a name.”
“Among all the monkeys on the mountain, your butt’s the reddest.”
“You shameless thing. Let me crush your confidence.”
“You saw it just now, didn’t you? Su Chen’s own father slapped you, and he didn’t even stand up for you. But Young Master Dongfang elevated your family from nobodies to a first-rate household. Tsk, the contrast is clear.”
“Su Chen only spoke up because Dongfang Wudao was going to kill his father. When his father hit and insulted you, did he say anything?”
“When you were beside Young Master Dongfang, who dared insult you? All who tried… died.”
“I—I—I…”
Si Hanyue’s eyes blurred with tears. The pain on her face, the sting in her heart, and Shen Qingqiu’s mocking gaze finally broke her.
“Back then, when Dongfang Wudao was about to kill your beast, you silently followed him.”
“In that cave, you even slept not far from him.”
“I remember you said—you didn’t beg him to save you, right? Then what do your actions mean? You’re just shameless.”
“If you didn’t want help, why follow him? Why didn’t you leave?”
“The road wasn’t even that dangerous. Yet, because of your carelessness and self-importance, Dongfang Wudao nearly died several times.”
“He warned you not to go out at night. Said there were beasts. What did you do? You snuck out in the middle of the night to bathe by a lake.”
“Are you that obsessed with being clean? He has higher status and greater strength than you, yet even he dared not go out carelessly.”
“Si Hanyue, do you think the world revolves around you?”
