But who can be blamed for this? It's just that the old guy had bad eyesight and offended Gu Changqing, someone you can't afford to offend.
After killing the old man with the green snake, Gu Changqing did not linger. With a thought, he returned directly to the top of the well.
Gu Changqing was preparing to return to Qingyun Sect, but as soon as he returned outside, he ran into an ugly middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman was wearing a long green dress. She was extremely thin, pale, and had many spots on her face. She was bloodless and looked very ugly and frightening, like a person who was about to rot away.
Her clothes were completely mismatched with her; it was as if a child had stolen an adult's clothes, making her look ridiculous and laughable.
This disgusted Gu Changqing so much that he couldn't help but want to curse, and he almost scared himself to death.
My God, how can there be such an ugly woman in the world? One look at her and I'll probably lose three years of my life, another look and I'll lose ten years.
Gu Changqing was too lazy to pay attention to this ugly woman and was about to leave without saying a word.
"Who are you? Why are you here? And why are you in this well?" The middle-aged ugly woman blocked Gu Changqing's way, her face full of questions, and she spoke with great vigilance.
"Who I am is none of your business. I can appear here whenever I want. What's it to you? Is this your home? Nobody says I can't come here." Gu Changqing sneered and said irritably.
At this moment, Gu Changqing was unaware that the middle-aged ugly woman in his eyes was the very same ugly wife that the old man with the green snake had spoken of.
"This well belongs to my family. Why are you in my well?" the middle-aged, ugly woman asked again, puzzled.
Her husband said he was a little hungry, so she had just gone out to find something to eat and had just returned. She had just arrived at the well when she encountered this young man, and he even carried her husband's scent. This made the ugly woman suspicious.
The middle-aged ugly woman and this young man were complete strangers. How could he have appeared in the well for no reason? Moreover, the scent of his late wife on him made the ugly woman feel uneasy.
The reason the ugly woman felt uneasy was that she could no longer sense her husband's presence, but this person carried a trace of his presence. However, she and her husband never interacted with the outside world, so how could this person have her husband's presence? She had a bad feeling; could something have happened to her husband?
"So what if it's yours? I just happened to walk in. What, do you still want to hit me?" Gu Changqing was slightly taken aback, and said dismissively.
It was through this that Gu Changqing learned that the ugly woman was actually the wife of the old man with the green snake. Good heavens, she really was incredibly ugly. The old man with the green snake hadn't lied after all; his wife was so ugly that she was practically unpresentable. No wonder she had been living in the well all this time.
The old man with the green snake even said he'd give his wife to him as a maid, but honestly, I wouldn't take her even if she were given to me for free. She's so ugly, it's like seeing a monster.
The middle-aged, unattractive woman ignored Gu Changqing's words and instead questioned, "Why do you smell like my husband? What did you do to him?"
"Who is your husband? I don't know him." Gu Changqing smiled slightly and deliberately dodged the question.
"Stop pretending. It's just my husband and me in this deep mountain forest. No human has ever come in. If you haven't seen him, how could you have his aura on you?" the middle-aged ugly woman said with great certainty.
She now strongly suspects that something has happened to her husband, and that it is very likely related to the young man in front of her.
"Oh, your wife is perhaps that big green snake?" Gu Changqing smiled faintly and said directly.
“Exactly, your words prove that you have already seen him. What did you do to him?” the middle-aged ugly woman said with no doubt and with great certainty.
"I've met him. I didn't do anything to him originally, but he didn't like me and repeatedly provoked me, so I had no choice but to kill him," Gu Changqing said with a faint smile.
"What? What did you say? You killed my husband? Hahaha, what a joke! If you said you injured my husband, I might believe you, but to say you killed him is laughable. Do you even know what level of cultivation my husband had? You're just spouting nonsense. Let me tell you, my husband was a powerful fifth-level Immortal Emperor, unmatched in the entire Nine Heavens Realm. How could a mere brat like you kill him? Don't be ridiculous. How much cultivation do you have? You look young, but you're quite bold, spouting lies with ease. This must be one of your usual tricks, right?" The middle-aged ugly woman questioned as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world.
"Believe it or not, since you think your wife isn't dead, why are you stopping me from leaving? What do you mean by not letting me go?" Gu Changqing sneered and asked in a displeased tone.
Gu Changqing thought to himself that the two of them really were a couple, even their personalities and thoughts were surprisingly similar, both stubborn and single-minded.
"Explain yourself clearly, why do you smell like my husband?" the middle-aged, unattractive woman said impatiently.
She was like a persistent leech, clinging to Gu Changqing and refusing to let go.
Gu Changqing was slightly annoyed, and his temper flared up immediately. He said impatiently, "If you want to know what happened, go back and see for yourself. Don't stop me, or I'll get angry and become rude to you."
"You're going to be impolite to me? You'll have to see if you have the strength. Although I'm not as powerful as my husband, my cultivation is still at the peak of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm. Dealing with you is more than enough for me." The middle-aged ugly woman smiled contemptuously and said patiently.
"Are you at the peak of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm?" Gu Changqing asked.
"Exactly, how about that, scared now?" the ugly woman said with a smug smile.
"Fear? The word 'fear' doesn't exist in my dictionary. If you don't want to die, you'd better get out of the way, or the consequences will be severe. You will die even more miserably than your old wife," Gu Changqing said with a cold snort.
"You young man are incredibly audacious. It seems I have no choice but to teach you a lesson today," the middle-aged ugly woman said shamelessly.
Without saying a word, a long whip appeared in her hand, gleaming with golden light. It was dazzling and of unknown material; even a wisp of its aura was terrifying.
Her eyes turned sinister, and she raised the long whip in her hand, lashing it out at Gu Changqing with lightning speed.
Suddenly, a powerful force swept in, the air currents exploded, and the terrifying shockwave was like a tornado, which was very frightening.
