Chapter 116: Teach You a Lesson Later
Looking at Liu Xinwen, Qiao Wan could guess that Chu Tongzheng's departure might have something to do with her.
To be honest, she wasn't angry or resentful towards Chu Tongzheng.
Qiao Wan scratched her head.
Perhaps because it is absurd for a girl to make such an intimate move, how could one possibly have the interest to hold a grudge?
Just the thought of Chu Tongzheng and Qiao Wan, it's as if one could still feel the touch of their warm embrace, their eyes slightly dazed.
So soft.
Wait! What is she thinking?!
But it's really so soft QWQ.
Fragrant and soft, pink and tender, who wouldn't like a beautiful girl? If only her cultivation path wasn't so difficult. She wouldn't need to push herself so hard.
Looking at her lower body, Qiao Wan also felt a bit sad, her expression slightly dim.
Which girl doesn't like dressing up beautifully, and smelling nice?
Back when she hurriedly left the mountain, she forgot to bring that box of fluttering little butterflies, the coral hairpin, the pearl bracelet. Even if she brings them now, with her current disguise, she will definitely be seen as weird!
"Taoist Friend Lu?"
Liu Xinwen furrowed his brows and asked, feeling a slight uneasiness in his heart.
Can you promise that it will work?
Qiao Wan shook her head, ignoring the butterflies fluttering in her mind. She lowered her voice and said, "I have no objections."
Liu Xinwen breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his strong and firm face. "Then, we will have a pleasant cooperation for the next two days."
"After half an hour, we plan to explore the surroundings," Liu Xinwen chuckled. "Taoist Friend Lu, would you like to join us?"
Even though it was night, the cultivators didn't really need to sleep.
In the middle of the night, the entire illusion became quiet, with thick mist in the air.
The terrain and the time were perfect for hiding in the bushes and waiting for lonely little rabbits to pass by.
Liu Xinwen wouldn't miss this opportunity, of course.
Qi Feidao gladly agreed on behalf of the two of them.
After a half-hour rest, the group set off. Qiao Wan took a moment to look around, and sure enough, she didn't see Chu Tongzheng's figure.
The illusion was vast, so Qiao Wan and Fang Lingqing moved a bit further away. They quietly waited in the bushes.
Staring in loneliness and emptiness for a while, they finally caught a glimpse of a figure in the night mist.
The person approaching cautiously grasped the sword, walking forward with a pained expression on their face, and being careful of their surroundings.
Unable to find new teammates for the moment since their previous ones died early, they had to make do and continue on by themself.
The young person took a few steps forward with a gloomy expression when unexpectedly...
A flash of swordlight!
"Who?!" the young person widened their eyes.
Who is here?!
Before the words could be spoken, stumbled and fell to the ground!
Darn it...
The young person's face stiffened, tears flooding their eyes. Those who can survive until the end in this illusion are truly ruthless and cunning!
【Lu Cixian has eliminated XXX!】
Feeling a surge of spirit energy from their dantian, Qiao Wan sheathed her sword.
But at the same moment, a whistling sound came from behind.
Qiao Wan immediately dodged to the side.
A stick came flying towards her, but missed.
There's someone in front too!
Someone kicked her right in the chest!
This kick sent Qiao Wan flying out.
Qiao Wan quickly adjusted her posture and rolled on the ground a few times.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
A series of sharp sword clashes could be heard.
A cascade of flashing blades passed over her head.
The swords missed, causing grass fragments to fly.
Just a second too late, blood splattered on the spot.
Although she reacted quickly and avoided the fate of blood splattering, she couldn't escape.
Qiao Wan felt a sinking feeling as she looked at the two figures approaching her from not far ahead.
Oh no, it's an ambush, she's surrounded.
The two figures got closer and gradually emerged from the thin fog, revealing their faces.
A round face, droopy eyes, a girl with a peach-like face, accompanied by a daoist with a stern face, slowly walked towards her. Who else could it be but Chu Tongzheng ?
Qiao Wan realized: "You betrayed me?"
The girl blinked, raised her head, revealing a small toothy smile, and looked at Qiao Wan who was still rolling on the ground, unable to get up in time.
"Lu Cixian, didn't see that coming, did you?"
"Liu Xinwen, this troublemaker, does he really think that I can't find a man willing to sacrifice himself for me?"
Finding a man with a serious face, Chu Tongzheng smiled contentedly, blinked her innocent big eyes, pointed at Qiao Wan, and said to the Taoist Friend Zhang, "It's him, he's the one who bullied me."
The Taoist Friend Zhang glanced at Qiao Wan on the ground.
This young boy was thin and didn't seem to have much power.
"It's him?"
"He's the one who bullied you?"
Chu Tongzheng said to Taoist Friend Zhang, "No need to underestimate him just because he looks like this, it might be a bit tricky to bring him down."
The Taoist Friend Zhang smirked and didn't take Chu Tongzheng's words seriously.
Seeing the boy in front of him, he probably survived by relying on his teammates.
"Even if it's tricky, I have to do it," Taoist Friend Zhang said with a smile. "Since you've come to me for help, how can I not help you bring him down?"
Chu Tongzheng blushed slightly and hugged Taoist Friend Zhang's arm, glancing at Qiao Wan.
"Run, keep running!"
Although there was a little mistake.
But...
Her eyes scanned the boy's abs.
She finally obtained the spiritual energy in her dantian.
"Go ahead," the green-faced cultivator smiled. "It's all yours."
Chu Tongzheng tiptoed and planted a kiss on the man's face before calmly walking away with her sword.
With one sword strike,
It missed.
Qiao Wan rolled away.
I knew you would make a move earlier.
You've come at the perfect time!
Chu Tongzheng smiled and swiftly bent over, grabbing Qiao Wan's wrist to immobilize her.
Although our Meizong sect practices the techniques of gathering yang and replenishing yin, we still value user experience. Even when it comes to being intimate, it's always consensual. We never force anything like those evil cultivators of the Hehuan sect.
The disciples of the Meizong sect are delicate and flexible, capable of performing various difficult moves.
With a swift pull, Chu Tongzheng raised her foot and kicked!
Just as Qiao Wan was kicked to the side of the teleportation array.
With this kick, both of them were stunned.
Qiao Wan quickly looked up and said, "Thank you!"
Chu Tongzheng was taken aback, her delicate face immediately twisted in distress.
Oh no!
In the blink of an eye.
The Wuxiang Technique ignored Chu Tongzheng's actions.
Qiao Wan rolled neatly into the teleportation array.
A white light flashed from the array.
In the next second, only a pale moonlight remained.
Chu Tongzheng widened her eyes in disbelief.
He ran?!
He actually ran away?!
"Did she run away?" the green-faced Taoist Friend Zhang, who was waiting for Chu Tongzheng to handle it herself, was confused. He stepped forward, looked at the teleportation array, and asked in astonishment.
Chu Tongzheng frowned unhappily, "Didn't you say you promised me to help me deal with him? What do we do now that Lu Cixian has run away?"
Taoist Friend Zhang hugged Chu Tongzheng and smiled, "We'll just bring her back if she ran away. This is just a small mistake, why are you upset?"
Chu Tongzheng glanced at Taoist Friend Zhang and made a displeased expression.
This guy Zhang looks much worse compared to Lu Cixian. Even though Lu Cixian is not available, he is still good-looking! If it weren't for Lu Cixian being unavailable, she wouldn't have to resort to Zhang Zhiyi.
The man's hand resting on her arm was ice-cold, sticking to her like a snake. His face was pale like a zombie.
He really didn't meet her aesthetic standards.
Moreover, Zhang Zhiyi is a disciple of Taiyin Temple and behaves wickedly. Just by looking at him, Chu Tongzheng felt a chill inside.
In a blink of an eye, Zhang Zhiyi glanced at the girl's smooth and fair skin partially exposed in front of her chest.
Chu Tongzheng subtly took a step back and pursed her lips, revealing a small smile. "Taoist Friend Zhang, we agreed that you would help me catch it before I fulfill your request."
"But I haven't caught it yet. Why is taoist friend asking me to fulfill this promise now?"
The young girl blinked her big eyes, her long lower eyelashes like a small fan that scratched at people's hearts, her eyes seemed to be filled with a handful of moonlight.
Zhang Zhiyi's breath became erratic.
Although she was a seductive prostitute, she looked as pure and innocent as a young maiden who had not experienced the world.
But this teasing game, which was initially somewhat charming, had become too much, and could only be considered foolishness.
Seeing something but not being able to have it, after going back and forth a few times, Zhang Zhiyi also became a bit annoyed.
If it weren't for the strict regulations in the brothel, and the lack of opportunities to get close to women, why would he be entangled with a seductive prostitute here?
"She's just a seductive prostitute! Why are you pretending? Did you think there wouldn't be any consequences when I asked you to do something for me?"
"Don't underestimate yourself." Zhang Zhiyi sneered, "Do you really think you're an innocent young lady, bargaining here?"
"If you really provoke me, I'll just take care of you right here."
As soon as the words were spoken, the remaining two or three cultivators gathered together.
Chu Tongzheng's face changed and she felt a bit scared. Without realizing it, she took a step back. She glanced around and saw that these men surrounding her were not friendly.
This was bad.
Before, she had at most dealt with a couple of them. When had she ever dealt with so many?
She knew it. Chu Tongzheng bit her lip and her hands and feet turned cold with fear.
These men, when things were good, they called them precious darlings. But in reality, they looked down on the disciples of the Meizong as lowly.
Suddenly, the fair and handsome face of Lu Cixian popped into her mind.
Chu Tongzheng blinked her eyes and looked at the teleportation formation.
But another male cultivator was faster. He put his foot in front of the teleportation formation, blocking her way.
"What's wrong," said Zhang Zhiyi, crossing his arms and smiling coldly. "Have you made up your mind?"
Her escape route was blocked.
Chu Tongzheng's breathing became rapid and an uneasy smile appeared on her face. "Taoist friend, you misunderstood. I didn't mean that."
...
Meanwhile, in another place.
Qiao Wan brushed off the dust and stepped out of the teleportation circle.
The dense forest was dark, and the moonlight floated on the mist, slowly moving between the trees.
She was betrayed.
Reflecting on the terrifying moment just now, Qiao Wan let out a sigh. She never expected that Chu Tongzheng would truly hold a grudge against her.
The most important thing now is how to contact Fang Lingqing.
And then...
Qiao Wan's expressionless face tightened her grip on the sword.
She decided to seek revenge from Chu Tongzheng.
With that thought in mind, Qiao Wan reached into her pocket.
It was empty.
The jade token was missing, probably dropped during the fight earlier.
The communication jade token was used to communicate with teammates. Losing the token meant temporarily losing contact with Fang Lingqing and the others.
The most urgent task now was to figure out where she was exactly.
Holding her sword, Qiao Wan cautiously walked around.
The forest was quiet, with no signs of anyone, except for an empty and sparkling teleportation circle.
The teleportation array in this magical world sends you to random places, it's all up to fate.
Qiao Wan glanced at the teleportation array and thought for a moment. She cautiously took a step forward, gripping her sword tightly and staying on high alert, ready to react quickly if something went wrong.
As the teleportation array activated, she was surprised to find herself in an empty place with no one around.
But the trees around seemed somewhat familiar.
She could faintly hear people talking not far away.
Qiao Wan held her sword and took a few steps forward.
The further she went, the more familiar it felt.
When she reached a point where the moonlight revealed the silhouettes of the people talking, Qiao Wan's breath caught in her chest and her eyes widened.
Could it be a coincidence? Aren't those Chu Tongzheng and the others?!
That means there are two teleportation arrays nearby - the one she first stepped on, and this one behind Chu Tongzheng and the others.
The moonlight shone on her face, and Chu Tongzheng's expression looked a bit strange.
Just now, the green-faced Taoist leader, followed by a group of people, surrounded Chu Tongzheng in a circle.
Chu Tongzheng's voice was soft, but her eyes couldn't help but glance around: "They say it's a misunderstanding, I didn't mean it that way."
She looked extremely nervous and anxious.
Not knowing the situation, Qiao Wan took a step back, held her breath, and jumped onto a tree, crouching cautiously to watch.
Intermittently, the conversations between Chu Tongzheng and the other person continued to be heard.
The green-faced Taoist only sneered and said nothing.
"Calm down, Taoist lord."
Chu Tongzheng closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind, and took a step forward.
"If the Taoist lord is willing, how could I refuse?"
The beauty offered herself willingly, but the green-faced Taoist crossed his arms, looked coldly, and stared at Chu Tongzheng for a while before smirking: "What? Not upholding your chastity anymore? Let me tell you, even if you're willing now, it's too late."
Chu Tongzheng's face turned pale.
Chu Tongzheng looked up and saw five or six men surrounding her. She felt worried.
Oh no, things have gone wrong.
Chu Tongzheng bit her lip and gathered courage as she reached out to hold the man's arm. "Don't be angry, Senior Dao. It was my mistake, please don't be angry."
"Do you think I will forgive you?"
Chu Tongzheng nodded quickly.
The Daoist with a green face chuckled mysteriously and casually summoned a sword glow.
The sword cut through the girl's pale yellow skirt, revealing a section of delicate white skin with a bright red cut mark.
It had a strangely twisted beauty to it.
Chu Tongzheng's face changed suddenly.
She regretted her actions deeply.
She had ended up provoking someone abnormal.
She should not have gotten involved with Zhang Zhiyi, an eccentric practitioner from Taiyin Temple, just for revenge against the useless Lu Cixian.
The noticeable change in the girl's face seemed to satisfy the Daoist with a green face, as he smiled with a hint of contentment.
Qiao Wan crouched in the tree without making a sound. She hesitated for a moment, having observed the situation with Chu Tongzheng for quite some time. She probably understood what was going on.
It seemed that Chu Tongzheng had gotten involved with this Taoist Friend Zhang to deal with her, but things had gone wrong.
Qiao Wan had come to seek revenge.
Seeing Chu Tongzheng pale, Qiao Wan felt torn inside.
Although Chu Tongzheng's predicament had nothing to do with her, she couldn't just walk away.
Qiao Wan pressed her lips together, pondering her fate. She couldn't do it.
She could use her sword to send the girl in front of her back to Lotus Seat Peak, but she couldn't bear to watch her being humiliated by a group of men.
Even if she wanted revenge, she couldn't stoop to such low tactics.
With these thoughts in mind, Qiao Wan glanced ahead once again.
It seemed that Chu Tongzheng and Taoist Friend Zhang with the green face had reached an impasse.
After a flash of a sword, followed by six or seven more, the girl's dress was instantly cut into pieces.
The blood droplets seeped out of the wound and rolled down the pure and smooth skin like a pearl.
When Zhang Zhiyi saw this cruel scene, his eyes darkened and his breath became quick.
Crazy.
Chu Tongzheng clenched her teeth, feeling a chill run through her body.
Her cultivation was never high, mainly relying on the seductive techniques of her sect. She had relied on her charms to get by, never really experiencing a life-and-death struggle.
Actually...if she endured a bit longer and gritted her teeth, it wouldn't be such a big deal.
But she didn't want to.
Chu Tongzheng shivered, trembling lightly.
Seeing her tremble, Zhang Zhiyi smiled even deeper and calmly asked, "Why are you crying? Isn't this beautiful? Huh? Didn't you say you wanted me to calm down? How come you're scared now? This is your sincerity."
Not only scared, but also feeling wronged. Chu Tongzheng felt a pang in her heart.
It's all Lu Cixian's fault! It's all because of this useless person!
If it weren't for him, would she have been chased away by Liu Xinwen, a man? If she hadn't been chased away by Liu Xinwen, everything would have been smooth along the way, so why bother climbing up to that weirdo Zhang Zhiyi?
Lu Cixian, it's all your fault!
Chu Tongzheng couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears, "Wah!"
Seeing Chu Tongzheng cry, Zhang Zhiyi shivered with satisfaction and smirked, "Why are you crying? I'm here, aren't I?"
With that, he summoned a ray of sword light and in an instant, cut off all the fabric from the girl's body.
Qiao Wan's heart skipped a beat, her pupils shrinking.
Sword One - Speed Kill!
The sword light descended like a shooting star and clashed, shattering those few rays of sword light.
"Who?!" The man's face suddenly changed, quickly turning his head!
With one hand using the Wuxiang Technique and the other holding Sword Three - Guard Stance, Qiao Wan leaped down from the tree!
Chu Tongzheng, with tears streaming down her face, stood frozen in place, watching as the young man suddenly descended from the sky, wielding a sword to protect her.
Her steps were like walking on clouds.
The light from the sword shone like a bright moon, covering her from behind.
Chu Tongzheng looked at him in disbelief and said, "Lu... Lu Cixian?"
Did... didn't she just kick him into the teleportation array?
Is he here to save her?
Trying to contain her joy, Chu Tongzheng stammered, "You... you don't mind."
Qiao Wan : "Mind, hold grudges."
A smile appeared on the young man's cold face, with specks of blood splattering on his face. The dark eyes reflected the vivid red blood, adding a touch of color to his frosty face.
"But before that, let's deal with them."
Zhang Zhiyi darkened his face in the direction the sword pointed.
"I'll teach you a lesson later."
The young man's voice was clear.
"I'll teach you a lesson later."
Chu Tongzheng suddenly felt her heart skip a beat and her legs go weak.
Her throat felt dry, and her face unconsciously turned red.
Covering her pounding chest, Chu Tongzheng had teary eyes.
How did she not notice before, Lu Cixian... why... is he so manly?
