Chapter 96: Chen Ling’er, Humiliated to Dust
“Do you even know what you are saying?”
Tang Qi asked seriously.
Neither Zhou Tong nor Chen Ling’er was taken seriously by him.
Only that Guest Senior made him incredibly apprehensive.
The opponent’s strength was truly unfathomable.
Just thinking of the scene where the opponent pulled down a star from the sky and annihilated the Joyful Union Sect made his heart race uneasily.
However, no matter what, the opponent dared to humiliate him to his face, and that was already a death wish.
That Guest Senior, he must kill!
“I certainly understand. In fact, besides you, no one can kill that guy.”
Xia Hongxiu said mysteriously, causing Tang Qi’s expression to change, as he instantly became interested.
“What do you mean?”
“You may not know this, but that person has the Void Lifebound Fate, impervious to calamity, and can only be restrained by great fortunates.”
“And you are the great fortunate one. I once calculated for you; you will definitely become an unrivaled powerhouse in the future!”
A round of flattery left Tang Qi feeling giddy, with an overwhelming joy surging in his heart.
He always knew he was predestined for greatness!
“I can cooperate with you!”
Without a second thought, Tang Qi agreed. A future Great Emperor should crush all enemies.
Xia Hongxiu smiled knowingly, lightly parted her lips, and spat out a jade bead and a jade talisman.
Seeing these two items, Tang Qi’s pupils suddenly constricted; he felt an extraordinary wave.
“This is a treasure my ancestors obtained in a secret realm. This jade bead is called the Heavenly One Pearl, which can cause your cultivation to skyrocketing in a short time.”
“This jade talisman is called the Chaotic Fate Talisman, which can temporarily invalidate the Void Lifebound Fate, creating an opportunity for you to land a fatal blow.”
“I entrust these two treasures to you, and you must know what to do now?”
“Hehe… Naturally!”
Tang Qi grinned, unabashedly accepting the two treasures.
He had never felt such fulfillment as he did now.
With the Heavenly One Pearl, the Transmutation Great Law combined with the old ghost’s soul infusion, if these three trump cards were used together, who could possibly be his opponent?
“Don’t worry, Shi Jie. Once I take down that scum, everything else will be trivial.”
Upon hearing this, Xia Hongxiu finally revealed a satisfied smile.
Her future was firmly within her grasp!
…
In another room, Chen Ling’er woke up, looking at “Zhou Tong” who was close at hand, her eyes filled with fear and hatred.
“I never thought you could still remember what happened before; my memory erasure technique has never failed.”
Lian Hanxing remarked with great interest, as if examining a rare treasure. This girl was definitely gifted.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ling’er trembled all over, recalling how effortlessly the other party had killed in the Life-Death Realm.
But soon after, her complexion turned even paler, as if recalling something even more terrifying.
“You… you are not my Junior Apprentice Brother!”
“Did you need to say that?”
Lian Hanxing mocked with a laugh, her form flashing with auroras, revealing her true appearance.
“So beautiful…”
Chen Ling’er was momentarily entranced, but soon, a deep-seated hatred surged in her eyes.
“You have replaced my Junior Apprentice Brother; where is he? Did you kill him?!”
“That has nothing to do with you!”
Lian Hanxing, seemingly losing patience, walked toward her.
“Don’t be afraid; this time, I will completely erase your memories, allowing you to forget all sadness, including Zhou Tong.”
“No!!”
Chen Ling’er suddenly erupted with powerful emotions, even overcoming her fear.
She drew her sword and pressed it against her neck, displaying a look of defiance against death.
“Tell me, is my Junior Apprentice Brother still alive? Otherwise, I will take my life right here!”
“You think I would care?”
Lian Hanxing looked on dispassionately; she didn’t believe the other party had the courage to end her own life.
But then, Chen Ling’er overturned her expectations.
As she dragged the sharp sword across her neck, a streak of crimson appeared.
She actually dared to go that far!
“What if he is alive? What if he isn’t?”
Lian Hanxing halted in her tracks, confused, not understanding why the other party reacted so wildly.
“If my Junior Apprentice Brother is alive and well, I can be at your disposal; if he is dead, then I won’t live either!”
Upon hearing this, Lian Hanxing was greatly touched.
She didn’t doubt the other’s words; as long as she said Zhou Tong was dead, Chen Ling’er would undoubtedly take her own life at the first opportunity.
“Are you two really that close?”
“Answer me!”
“Fine, I’ll tell you straight, that person is currently alive and well; I am not his enemy!”
Clang!
The sword fell to the ground, and it seemed like Chen Ling’er had been drained of all her strength, collapsing to the floor, covering her face as she began to sob quietly.
“So great… he is still alive… truly great. Thank heavens, what a relief!”
She seemed to be a survivor from a calamity, filled with emotions that had nowhere to go, causing Lian Hanxing to reveal a look of disdain.
What are you pretending for?
Lian Hanxing had already learned from Mu Ran Ya about Zhou Tong’s deeds and had long looked down on Chen Ling’er.
Thinking of Zhou Tong, Lian Hanxing couldn’t help but commend him.
That little fellow was truly extraordinary and unprecedented; to be adored by such a person was a great fortune, yet some people just did not know how to cherish it!
Just like this Chen Ling’er before her, not only did she dangle Zhou Tong from the past, but she also ceaselessly belittled him and framed him. Lian Hanxing couldn’t help but wonder if this person’s mind was somehow twisted.
Now that Zhou Tong had completely distanced himself and regarded her as worthless, she only then thought of regretting and pretended to be affectionate; was it too late to realize?
Such a person could only be described with one word.
Despicable!
And utterly despicable, the kind that is hopeless!
“Stop crying; no matter how much you cry, he won’t come back. Some things, once lost, can never be regained.”
Lian Hanxing pierced the heart with her words, utterly shattering Chen Ling’er’s spirit.
“You’re lying! How could he bear to?”
Chen Ling’er seem to be stung by the word “forever.”
“We were clearly on good terms before… Now he is just angry with me. Yes… as long as I wait until he cools down… he will…”
“Stop dreaming, you know the truth!”
Lian Hanxing shattered her extravagant hopes again, further destroying her heart.
“I don’t want it!!”
Chen Ling’er felt like she had been struck hard, letting out a piercing scream, falling to her knees.
“Sister… please help me, I beg you!”
She clutched at Lian Hanxing’s leg desperately, as if grasping a life-saving straw.
“I know you can contact him. I just want to see him once, just once, is that okay?”
At this moment, Chen Ling’er resembled a fragile flower in a storm, so weak that it seemed she would shatter at any moment.
“Sister… just help me this once, and once it’s done, I am willing to be your servant, at your command, without any complaints!”
“I can swear on my martial heart!”
Upon hearing this, Lian Hanxing was finally moved somewhat.
“I’ll give it a try, but don’t hold too much hope.”
“Thank you, Sister!!”
Chen Ling’er instantly broke into a smile.
