Chapter 771 The True Intention
Song Chunxue didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said that could make Huo Xiang so excited.
She slowly picked up the bowl of white noodles on the table, took a little of each of the dishes and put them into the bowl. After mixing them well, she picked up the dishes and noodles and fed them to her mouth.
Mmm, it tastes really good.
The dough here is kneaded to be quite chewy, and it smells delicious even without any vegetables, not to mention that all the vegetables are pretty good.
"Are you fucking trying to murder me?"
After coughing for a long time, Huo Xiang finally calmed down a lot, drank a few more sips of tea, and glared at Song Chunxue with annoyance.
"You're overthinking it. What does it have to do with me?"
"It's clearly you who misunderstood, how am I supposed to recall the hidden dangers planted back then?" Huo Xiang found it really difficult to talk to her. "Recall whether I actually put it in back then?"
"..." Song Chunxue looked up blankly, "Brother, I'm a woman, can you be a little more tactful? What I mean is, can you remember which day it was back then..."
"Fine, it's my fault, okay? I'm really fed up." She quickly shoveled down two mouthfuls of noodles. "Shut up and eat."
"..." Huo Xiang was silent for a moment, then burst into laughter, slapping her thigh and laughing non-stop, "My thoughts are dirty, okay? It's my fault, it's my fault."
Song Chunxue ate until she was nine-tenths full and couldn't eat any more, so she quickly got up, afraid that she would have to have another half bowl of noodles.
"Wait a minute, have a drink with me for a bit," Huo Xiang said with a half-smile. "You'll have to come down anyway, someone's already waiting outside."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a noise came from the doorway.
Song Chunxue put on the face mask.
"What are you afraid of?" Huo Xiang snapped the chopsticks in half, her expression turning cold as she quickly flung them away.
The person who entered raised his hand to block the way, and four broken chopsticks were caught between his fingers.
"What is Your Majesty doing? Are you not welcoming us?"
The person approaching was tall and burly, seemingly two or three heads taller than Song Chunxue, with a face covered in a beard harder than needles.
Song Chunxue quickly looked away, afraid of upsetting the other person and slapping her.
His hands felt like millstones; one slap could send someone flying.
The person beside him was no ordinary person either; he was shrouded in a jet-black cloak, with only the lower half of his face visible, and his square jaw made him appear even more gloomy.
"Brother, give me your seat."
A hand landed on Song Chunxue's shoulder, like a stone mill, and it felt as if the five fingers could crush her shoulder blade with a little force.
She took off her mask, looked up at the man, and said, "Let go of my hand."
"Oh?" the man laughed. "It's a woman. Then sit in my lap."
As he spoke, he put his other arm around her waist.
"Smack!"
The peach branch on her wrist was quickly flung away. Taking the opportunity, Song Chunxue sat down next to Huoxiang, gritting her teeth and saying, "Didn't you tell me to relax? Why didn't you say a word? Were you deliberately trying to embarrass me?"
"No, no, I just wanted you to vent your anger," Huo Xiang stood up and blocked the sword opposite her. She flicked the sword lightly with her index and middle fingers, and a crack appeared on the sword. "You were reckless, brother. Apologize to the Taoist priest."
"Oh ho, Daoist Master?" The man in front of them, who was as big as a small mountain, spread his legs and crossed his arms in front of him, looking at them with disdain. "When did you, a demonic cultivator, get involved with the righteous sects?"
"Why play dumb? If you offend her, none of us will be able to get through that door." Huo Xiang smiled, but her eyes were as cold as knives. "Apologize."
The two men's expressions changed, and they couldn't help but take a closer look at Song Chunxue. Then they exchanged glances, clearly not quite believing Huo Xiang's words.
"Her?" The tall man frowned with disdain. "You haven't picked the wrong person?"
Huo Xiang's face turned cold. "Someone, throw these two ill-mannered dogs out."
"You!" The man gritted his teeth. "Why must you speak so harshly, Lord? We are all demonic cultivators, why must we kill each other?"
"Fighting amongst themselves?" Huo Xiang raised her hand and grabbed his neck. "You think you're worthy? Have I been too lenient with you all this time, making you forget that I am the Lord of the Demonic Cultivators?"
"Clatter, clatter..." Blood trickled from the corner of the man's mouth, and he made a choking sound as he swallowed the blood.
"Get out!" Huo Xiang shoved the man out. "When you're out in the world, you have to learn how to be a decent human being first, or you won't even know when you're going to die. We're demonic cultivators, not beasts left unattended. You're a disgrace to demonic cultivation!"
The man next to him hurriedly went to help the person who had fallen by the table, saying, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. My elder brother was arrogant. Please forgive him, Your Excellency."
“If it weren’t for the fact that it’s inappropriate to kill someone while drinking, he would be dead already. Get out! Tell your men to be smart and not force me to capture him for alchemy.”
"Yes, Your Majesty, please calm down. We'll leave now."
The previously noisy area outside suddenly became quiet.
Song Chunxue couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Your Majesty is mighty."
"Don't even try, those two aren't worthy of my attention. I promised Madam I would kill as little as possible this time, otherwise he would have split open just now."
Song Chunxue nodded repeatedly, "I know, Your Excellency has the strength."
"..." Huo Xiang was amused by her perfunctory sycophantic attitude. "Don't take action next time, or you'll make enemies, which isn't good."
"Yes, that's right. You should have acted sooner next time." Song Chunxue regretted, "Why did I take off my mask? What if they make things difficult for my child later?"
Huo Xiang nodded thoughtfully and snapped her fingers.
"Your Excellency."
A dark shadow drifted in front of them.
"Take care of those two men without making a fuss."
"yes."
That's not what I meant...
"The world is a dangerous place. To eliminate trouble from the root, can you guarantee they'll never go to Jincheng and won't run into your child?"
Huo Xiang turned the wine bowl, a ruthless glint in her eyes, "Leaving a hidden danger to keep you tossing and turning at night, I'll eliminate this hidden danger for you, so as not to destroy your Dao heart."
"..."
"Besides, they were notorious for their heart-stealing skills, targeting young men and women, and they deserved to die."
"Get rid of them completely!" Song Chunxue said angrily. "People who kill their own kind cannot be allowed to live."
Huo Xiang smiled but didn't reply.
They drank a small pot of wine, and then Song Chunxue went upstairs, saying, "I'm not drinking anymore."
"Go on, don't sleep too early, we have important guests arriving later."
Distinguished guest?
Song Chunxue was very sensitive to this word and immediately thought of her senior brother, Lord Zhao.
She turned to look at Huo Xiang, a slight smile playing on her lips, "Isn't this why you insisted on bringing me here?"
"That's right, he certainly wouldn't just stand by and watch his junior brother die, so naturally he'd come to lend me a hand. This Venerable One isn't willing to ally with just anyone. I find those so-called righteous sects, who spout benevolence and morality but are even more despicable than demonic cultivators in private, disgusting."
"But Lord Zhao is someone I admire very much. With him around, the things inside that door won't go to waste."
That sounds nice, but Song Chunxue didn't want to listen anymore. She went upstairs and lay down on the bed fully clothed.
Wu Bing brought her a bowl of hangover soup.
"Daoist Master, a fight has broken out downstairs. It seems that the Venerable One has been defeated."
Song Chunxue laughed, "Serves you right."
"Knock knock knock".
Song Chunxue suddenly jumped out of bed and walked quickly toward the door, her steps unsteady.
