Chapter 37: The Destined-to-be-Abandoned Good-for-Nothing (17)p2
Before coming here, she had warned herself many times not to soften towards this heartless master. She would repay her for all the pain she had suffered, without exception.
But now…
Just looking at her master’s familiar indulgent expression, she instinctively obeyed, just like before, and plucked another white lotus from beside her.
The petals of the lotus were forced apart by the aura emanating from her palm, and an image appeared before both of their eyes—
Su Mingxiu’s eyes widened in surprise.
This lotus showed a scene from her previous life with Yu Yinglan, their first meeting, Yu Yinglan in that alluring cheongsam, leaning against her.
Gui Mian’s expression…
Gradually darkened.
Before Su Mingxiu could finish watching, the lotus was crushed into a ball by Gui Mian. The crushed juice dripped from her palm, and she looked at Su Mingxiu through gritted teeth: “Master’s taste is truly unique.”
“You’re even willing to share such intimate moments with your beloved with your disciple.”
Su Mingxiu: “…”
Including her original world, this was her third life, and for the first time, Su Mingxiu felt like a cheating scumbag. Even with a hundred mouths, she couldn’t explain that she wasn’t using Gui Mian as a substitute.
From Gui Mian’s perspective, she was either a substitute for the person in the room or a substitute for the Yu Yinglan in Su Mingxiu’s memories.
Hearing her sigh, the system laughed gleefully in her mind.
It even used its code to play a cheerful tune.
Su Mingxiu unilaterally blocked it with her divine sense and watched helplessly as the white lotuses covering the entire mountain were engulfed by the grey mist.
Mount Lingyu instantly became desolate.
Just like Gui Mian’s spiritual mansion for the past few decades.
“It seems Master feels sorry for these flowers.” Noticing her expression, Gui Mian spoke again.
Su Mingxiu wanted to say “You’re more important than flowers,” but remembering the two new idioms her little disciple had used to describe her, she only pursed her lips and remained silent.
When she spoke, Gui Mian found her hateful.
Now that she was silent, Gui Mian still felt uncomfortable.
She thought, Fox Nine was right. Why had she insisted on learning about emotions and desires? They were nothing but meaningless torture.
After burning those annoying Lover’s Lotuses to ashes—
Gui Mian wanted to destroy the Untainted Abode as well.
She didn’t want to be anyone’s substitute anymore. She even felt disgusted at the sight of a face that resembled her own.
But as the grey mist approached, Su Mingxiu raised her hand to block it. If she hadn’t reacted quickly enough, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would have lost an arm today.
So the coldness in Gui Mian’s eyes intensified. “Encountering your beloved, Master finally drops the act?”
Su Mingxiu looked at her, as if she had suddenly discovered that her disciple was a hedgehog spirit. After a moment of thought, she said: “Gui Mian, have you ever wondered why you look like her? I suspect there’s a connection between you two. If you…”
If she wanted to kill this body, she could wait until after investigating.
“Why didn’t I notice Master’s talent for storytelling before?”
When that innocent face turned cold, it was as if the giant beast behind her was staring at them with a warning glare from within the lurking mist.
“I am a demon, a monster. Even the Heavenly Dao can’t tolerate me, how could I have any connection with a human?”
Seeing Su Mingxiu fall silent…
She smiled to herself. “But I will spare her life. Otherwise, how can I make Master obediently listen to me?”
Su Mingxiu understood now.
The resentment her little disciple held towards her wouldn’t dissipate anytime soon. Since she had already protected that body, she decided to wait for the little one to calm down before approaching her again.
But she remained silent again, and Gui Mian didn’t let her off the hook. “For the sake of the Sword Sect, Master was willing to endure humiliation in the Demon Realm. Now, for this woman, Master is even willing to pretend to love me deeply, just to make me spare her life… So it turns out, in the entire Sword Sect, the only person you’re willing to abandon is me.”
Absurd.
Su Mingxiu thought, with such a ridiculous level of comprehension, how did she manage to accurately translate her eight-times-speed foreign language back in the Demon Realm?
“What, now that I’ve seen through you, Master doesn’t even bother pretending anymore?”
The figure in the ink-stained robe stood still in the night.
Her eyes, as dark as the night, looked at the little girl for a while. Then, suddenly, she leaned in and kissed the lips of the young Demon Lord.
“You—”
Gui Mian’s eyes widened.
She didn’t expect that, even in this situation, Su Mingxiu would still dare to kiss her!
Fox Nine was right. These shameless manipulators would stop at nothing to achieve their goals.
She yanked on the red string in her hand, pulling Su Mingxiu away. Then, she saw her usually elegant and composed master looking at her calmly, even with that same indulgent gaze, as if waiting for her next words.
Su Mingxiu wanted to hear all of Gui Mian’s misunderstandings tonight. After all, the night was long, and she had finally waited for the person she wanted to see.
But Gui Mian only looked at her coldly. “If you dare to kiss me again—”
Before she could finish her sentence…
Soft lips pressed against hers.
This Jade Elder, for almost a thousand years, had been the most fearless person in the nine continents, always arrogant and domineering, doing whatever she pleased.
Gui Mian grabbed her neck and bit back fiercely, without mercy.
Fierce and ruthless.
Like a small animal baring its fangs when attacked.
