Chapter 187: The Mountain Ghost Who Adorably Dotes on Zhou Tong
“You… you dare to insult me?”
Profound Rainy still hasn’t recognized her own position.
She thought that as a Saint Body, possessing infinite talent and a bright future, she was a rare treasure to be cherished by everyone.
No matter who it was, they should hold her in high regard, even Zhou Tong, who once hated her deeply, should put aside his grudge for the sake of the Great Dao!
After all, cultivating with her could bring great benefits, that was the Saint Source, which could significantly enhance the chances of achieving sainthood. She didn’t believe Zhou Tong would remain indifferent.
“Zhou Tong, I admit you are formidable, and already worthy of being my match.”
She said indifferently, “But your attitude is quite disappointing. If I had sided with Tang Qi earlier, the outcome today would be uncertain!”
“So I advise you to think carefully and not to give up on the great opportunity to pursue the Great Dao because of past hatred. That would benefit us both!”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Tong’s expression shattered.
He didn’t know how to describe the person in front of him anymore.
Mo Liushu and her disciples were hardly normal.
Some were arrogant, some were despicable, some were narcissistic, some were foolish, some were sinister; they were truly a bizarre bunch.
But this person before him encompassed all of that.
“I was wrong.”
Zhou Tong said.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ling’er’s eyes widened, while Profound Rainy revealed a proud expression.
“Great! It seems you’ve finally realized…”
Before she could finish, Zhou Tong interrupted her directly.
“My mistake was in being too kind to you; I shouldn’t have let you live until now… now I’m going to correct that mistake!”
“You dare!!”
Profound Rainy’s face changed instantly, radiating golden light, seemingly impregnable and indestructible.
With a soft thud!
Zhou Tong’s palm effortlessly pierced through her chest, shattering her internal organs.
“Let’s bury this filthy thing here!”
“You… you actually killed me?”
Profound Rainy’s face was full of disbelief as she fell stiffly.
After shaking off the blood on his hands, Zhou Tong turned away, as if he had pulled a weed by the roadside, not looking back as he headed in the opposite direction.
“Junior Apprentice Brother, where are you going? Don’t ignore me!”
Chen Ling’er shouted from behind, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t keep up with Zhou Tong’s pace.
She could only watch him gradually disappear into the darkness, tears streaming down her face.
“Is this your punishment for me? You can hit me or scold me, but just don’t ignore me!”
She painfully knelt on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.
“Shi Jie… save me!”
Profound Rainy’s weak voice came through, filled with pleading and fear.
“You… it’s all your fault for making Junior Apprentice Brother angry. If you hadn’t ruined his good mood, he wouldn’t ignore me!”
Chen Ling’er instantly became furious, placing all the blame on Profound Rainy.
As for saving her, that was a fantasy, absolutely impossible!
Let Profound Rainy perish here; that way, she would have one less rival in love.
That’s what Chen Ling’er thought.
However, she was thinking too much.
In Zhou Tong’s eyes, one was a bird, and the other a beast; even if all the women in the world were gone, he would never cross species to fall in love with her.
Suddenly, a gentle light shone down, followed by the appearance of a lively and graceful figure.
Seeing this person, Profound Rainy’s eyes filled with hope once more.
“Sister Mountain Ghost, we meet again… please save me!”
“Oh dear, I’ve run into two little pitiful ones again; today is indeed my lucky day.”
The Mountain Ghost said with a smile, her beautiful eyes still lively. However, deep within was a raging anger.
She was angry.
Through Profound Rainy’s memories, she knew that both of these women had harmed her king.
This was unforgivable!
When Zhou Tong had been four years old, lost in the wild mountains, he became the king of her clan. From that moment on, the Mountain Ghost took on the roles of his teacher and foster mother.
In her eyes, Zhou Tong was both a king and her child.
No minister wants to see their monarch humiliated, and no mother would want her child to be bullied.
These two women had already violated the Mountain Ghost’s taboo.
They must be punished!
She first looked at Profound Rainy, continuing with a cheerful tone, “Little pitiful, you’re finished; sister is really sad, waaa…”
“Mountain Ghost sister, please save me one more time; I’ll do anything.”
Profound Rainy begged, her limbs already growing cold, clearly feeling life slipping away.
“But you have no value left; you know, wishes come with a price.”
“There is… I still have dignity and beauty…”
“That stuff isn’t worth anything.”
The Mountain Ghost’s tone was flat, betraying not a hint of disdain, yet it stabbed Profound Rainy’s heart.
“Right… I still have freedom. As long as you can save me, I’ll listen to you!”
Profound Rainy put everything on the line; to survive, nothing was worth keeping.
“Hmm… that’s not bad. I agree. From today on, you are my little dog!”
The Mountain Ghost’s lips curled up as she waved her hand, healing Profound Rainy’s wounds.
“I’m fine now… I’m really fine, hahaha… truly heaven helps me!”
Profound Rainy jumped up and looked at Chen Ling’er, her eyes filled with resentment.
“Just now, you wanted to watch me die and didn’t save me, right? Truly unaware of your own mortality!”
She instantly tore away her mask and punched towards Chen Ling’er!
“Kneel down, puppy!”
The Mountain Ghost suddenly said, and with a thud, Profound Rainy was forced to kneel.
“What… what is happening?”
She was horrified, trembling in fear.
“Don’t you understand? Your freedom has been pawned to me. Now you are my puppet; I have absolute control over your actions!”
As soon as the words were spoken, Profound Rainy was drenched in cold sweat.
She thought it was just a verbal promise, still having some room to maintain her individuality, but she never expected the Mountain Ghost’s rules to be so tyrannical!
“Spin in circles!”
The Mountain Ghost continued to issue orders, and Profound Rainy could only get down on all fours, spinning like a dog.
“No! I don’t want to be like this! You can’t do this to me!”
She cried out, feeling as if all that she had once prided herself on had shattered.
So what if she was a Saint Body? She could only be someone else’s dog from now on; she had lost all grounds for her pride.
For a narcissistic person, this was the most terrifying punishment.
The Mountain Ghost didn’t like to hurt people; she would strike at the heart!
“Tsk tsk tsk… good dog, go play, don’t be a nuisance here.”
“Woof!”
Profound Rainy was compelled to crawl away.
This scene left Chen Ling’er in shock.
Then, she tensed up completely as the Mountain Ghost turned her gaze toward her.
“Brand new little pitiful!”
The Mountain Ghost said with a smile, “Your strength is too low; you can’t survive here. Sister can help you fulfill your wishes!”
“Of course… it must come at a price!”
Once the words were out, Chen Ling’er felt her blood freeze, a wave of terror surging through her heart!
“I… I have no wishes!”
Before she could finish, the Mountain Ghost revealed a profound smile, and then the earth split open, a terrifying giant beast charging towards Chen Ling’er!
No wish? Then let’s create one!
