Having essentially died once, Chunyu Ying finally saw through her true colors.
"You'd complain to me every now and then, saying you're also trapped here, and that you have no one to carry on your family line, while the Wu Zhao and Duan Yang families have prosperous descendants. Your words were full of implications..."
"Don't talk nonsense! When did I ever say such a thing to you?"
Seeing that she stubbornly denied it, Chunyu Ying also became angry.
"And that's not all you've said. You said Ji Mo Kunyu is in poor health, but you can't bear to abandon him and marry someone else, and you even deliberately implied that it's a pity I'm not a man..."
"Nonsense, you're talking nonsense..."
"I'm talking nonsense? Who was it that pretended to be drunk and clung to me, pouring out their heart? Who was it that said if we had a child, even when Ji Mo Kunyu's lifespan was over, he wouldn't seek another Daoist partner, but would just live with me like this?"
With each additional word Chunyu Ying uttered, Jiu Fangduo became increasingly embarrassed.
"It was clearly you who deliberately plotted to make me pregnant, causing me to drift apart from Kunyu."
"Pah! Me, plotting? You just reminded me yesterday that once you reach the Nascent Soul Realm, you're immune to all poisons. Have you forgotten?"
After hearing this, Jiu Fangduo could no longer deny it, since Qin Luo and Wu Hua were both present when she said it.
If they go back on their word now, all the groundwork they've laid will have been for nothing.
Seeing that she was speechless, Chunyu Ying simply told her everything.
“Since ancient times, the higher one’s cultivation level, the harder it is to have offspring. If you didn’t use any tricks, how could you have gotten pregnant on the first try? And how could that man have passed away that very night?”
Jiu Fangduo knew that whatever he said now would give her something to say, so he simply kept quiet. But Chunyu Ying had no intention of letting him off the hook.
"Senior Sister, you always say I'm ruthless, but aren't you the same? You enjoy your husband's good reputation while letting me deal with him. You really know how to make money from both sides."
After listening, Qin Luo and Wu Hua whispered to each other.
"What a scumbag! You can't date someone like that in the future. They're all talk and no action, they can kill without you even realizing it. They're terrifying."
"Luo Luo, you too, this kind of trash should stay in the garbage dump and be burned clean, so that it won't come out and harm people."
Seeing his mask torn off, Jiu Fangduo decided he could no longer endure it.
"What do you know? I have been exceptionally talented since childhood, but unfortunately my family has fallen on hard times. If I hadn't worked hard and won first place in the sect's recruitment, the Ji Mo family would have demanded that the engagement be called off long ago."
As she spoke, she felt quite wronged.
"I know I am not worthy of Kunyu, yet I cannot let him go. That is why, during my ascension, I risked my life to hide him within my flesh and blood..."
Her words, full of deep affection, were seen through by Wu Hua's sharp remark.
"You took him with you when you ascended to heaven, wasn't it for the sake of your people?"
After he finished speaking, apart from Jiu Fangduo, whose eyes were darting around, the other two were completely bewildered.
Seeing this, Wu Hua simply explained the situation clearly.
"After her ascension, the Ji Mo family and the Jiu Fang family will have no further connection, and Ji Mo Kunyu will marry someone else. Naturally, she will no longer take care of the Jiu Fang family. But if Ji Mo Kunyu is taken away..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone present understood his meaning: he was using the marriage to firmly bind the two families together.
Qin Luo glanced at Jiu Fangduo with both disdain and contempt, then looked at Wu Hua.
"Although she hid Ji Mo Kunyu inside her flesh and blood, with the power of the tribulation lightning, it is very likely that it would annihilate his soul during the tempering of his body. Isn't she worried about this?"
Wu Hua looked at her as if she were a fool.
"What are you worried about? She never intended to let Ji Mo Kunyu live."
"What? You didn't intend for him to live?"
"Yes, anyway, once the tribulation is over, the guiding holy light will take her away. Ji Mo Kunyu's life and death will be up to her. As long as she leaves the words 'Peace' before leaving, the Ji Mo family will completely believe her."
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo wanted to give Jiu Fangduo a thumbs up for his intelligence.
"As expected of a favored daughter of heaven, she is truly intelligent, but also incredibly vicious. So why didn't she kill Ji Mo Kunyu in the end, but instead became his Daoist partner?"
Wu Hua thought for a moment before revealing her guess.
"The houses here look no different from those elsewhere, but the furnishings are completely different. Ji Mo Kunyu must have brought a lot of supplies besides himself, and besides..."
"Besides what?"
"Besides, she's new to the wilderness, and whether she simply wants someone to keep her company or seeks comfort, leaving him here is the best option."
Qin Luo nodded in understanding, then looked at Jiu Fangduo with disdain.
"How can you live with yourself while spending his resources and letting others bully and beat him?"
As soon as she finished asking the question, she realized she had made a fool of herself. They'd been trapped for so long; they wouldn't have any conscience left—it would have been sucked clean by the Xuanming Fan long ago.
But Jiu Fangduo said she regretted it, but she didn't regret using Ji Mokunyu.
Instead, they regretted bringing Chunyu Ying back, and even more so, they regretted leaving Qin Luo and Wu Hua behind.
Chunyu Ying also finally realized that she had thought she was a chess player, but she didn't know that she had been manipulated all along.
She walked up to Qin Luo and Wu Hua, begging them to give her a quick death, but Qin Luo and Wu Hua told her to go away, saying they wouldn't kill indiscriminately.
These words were torture for Chunyu Ying, because the effects of the stream water were still in effect, and she was completely unable to end her own life.
But Jiu Fangduo heard it differently. Upon learning that she wouldn't die, her first instinct was to kneel and beg Qin Luo and Wu Hua to take her back to the Central Plains.
He even vowed that he would turn over a new leaf and never make the same mistakes again.
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo kicked her far away.
"You're fucking disgusting. You think taking you back will make you reconnect with the Ji Mo family? Do you think that now that Ji Mo Kunyu is disfigured, no one will want him except you?"
