Chapter 54: Heian Eight Su Mingmie
Ji Lingche looked at the woman and was secretly amazed in his heart. How could such a coincidence happen in the world?
Just when she was curious about where Xie Feiguang's eyes were, she happened to see them?
Her spiritual sense was extremely sharp, and she instantly realized that the spiritual thread on this person's eyes was not connected to her own spiritual veins. Moreover, the spiritual thread was extremely familiar. She had just seen it. Isn't this—
Ji Lingche looked at her with interest and thought to himself, so she is a member of the Mei tribe from Taoling.
She didn't have any opinion about these Meizu, thinking they were just like ordinary humans. She just asked, "How come you know who I am?"
The woman tilted her head and said, "Lord God, I have seen you since I was very young."
"You saved me, don't you remember?"
Ji Lingche was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He looked at the woman's face, but couldn't recall anything. He just said, "Oh?"
The woman's pretty face was filled with smiles as she said, "Huazhuang, Qingjing Pavilion—"
When she heard the word "Hua Zhuang", her eyes flickered. She remembered that there really was such a place. She frowned slowly and said after a long while, "Oh, I remember now. That Qingjing Pavilion seems to have been burned down by me..."
The woman said happily, "Yes, yes!"
"If it weren't for you, I would have been drained of my energy by them and died..."
Ji Lingche seemed to have remembered something and was a little shocked. He just said, "Are you one of the little demons in the building?"
The woman smiled and tilted her head. "You gave me my name. Do you remember?"
Huazhuang is a large manor for immortals to enjoy. It is nestled in the mountains and beside the water, far away from the hustle and bustle. The owner of the manor is Bian Tang, a well-known profiteer.
Such a big manor doesn't even have Gu Chaoyin, which shows that the owner of the manor is really powerful.
Those who can enter this manor are either rich or noble, and most of them are important members of the Immortal Alliance. This manor is isolated from the outside world, and what happens inside will not be spread out. Those people who come here to live a life of debauchery and indulge in many dirty things, the filth of which is really unimaginable.
Ji Lingche was still very young at the time. One day, he said to Gu Chaoyin, "You always brag about yourself, saying you're some tycoon. How come you can't even compare to Bian Tang?"
Gu Chaoyin laughed and said, "I still can't do such a dirty thing. That's not a den of brothel, it's clearly a gathering hall."
Ji Lingche sneered and said, "This kind of place should be burned down."
Gu Chaoyin then said, "You go. I've always disliked that guy. If you succeed, I'll give you 12,000 spirit stones."
Ji Lingche: "...Why would you provoke them for no reason?"
Gu Chaoyin: "I thought you were very chivalrous."
Ji Lingche chuckled: "You are not chivalrous, you are just stupid."
"Even if Huazhuang is gone, there are still Zhangzhuang and Lizhuang. There's more to burn than meets the eye."
Ji Lingche didn't want to get involved in this mess until one day she swam to the vicinity of Taoling. She thought she would see many blue-eyed demons, but she found that the place was full of debris and blood, as if it had been slaughtered. The surviving little demons were all very young, and they acted as if they had seen a ghost when they saw her.
She stayed in Taoling for a few days, during which time she actually ran into a monk who came here to capture the Mei tribe.
These people didn't care whether these Meizu were adults or not. They would catch them if they saw them, and kill those who refused to obey. Their methods were so cruel that even Ji Lingche was shocked.
She followed those monks all the way and found that they took the Mei people back to Huazhuang!
She understood what was going on instantly. It was said that practicing dual cultivation with others would help the Mei people improve their cultivation. What's more, they were really beautiful and had natural charm.
The most important point is that they are not human!
Even if the lowly Mei clan were humiliated, lost their lives, or even their entire clan was wiped out, who would care? Where could they go to complain?
Fairy girls cannot be abducted by common people, so could it be that even demons cannot abduct them?
Ji Lingche looked up at the tall Qingjing Pavilion and listened to the noise coming from inside.
I just thought in my heart, Qingjing Pavilion, what a great name it is to be quiet.
She was an evil person to begin with, and didn't care about other people's reputation. She started a fire and made the prostitutes in the building run away in all directions. They didn't even have time to put on their clothes and ran out stumbling.
The fire was extremely strange and could not be extinguished no matter what magic was used. It only burned the monks but not the demons. Soon the entire Qingliang Pavilion collapsed.
Ji Lingche was young at that time. Although he set the fire, he did not want to cause trouble. He turned around to leave, but ran into the owner of Bian Manor who came after hearing the news.
Bian Tang was stunned when he saw her, but his anger subsided. He knew she was difficult to deal with, so after a long while he just said, "Okay, okay, you are indeed an evil cultivator from the Xiaoyao Sect. Just wait, I will report you to the Immortal Alliance!"
Seeing her contemptuous look, he knew she was not afraid, so he said again: "Okay, it must be Gu Chaoyin who instigated you. I won't sue you, but I will sue Gu Chaoyin! I will make sure that his business will never be able to continue -"
Before he could finish his words, Ji Lingche grabbed his neck. His eyes rolled back and he almost fainted. He only heard her sneer, "Go ahead and sue me. I only burned down one of your pavilions today. There are countless pavilions and towers in Huazhuang. For every word you say in the Immortal Alliance, I will burn down one. What do you think?"
Bian Tang knew that this man was ridiculously crazy and could really do it, so he had nothing to say. Even after being slapped a few times by Ji Lingche, he still had to apologize to her repeatedly.
Ji Lingche: "Release all the Meizu. If there is one less Meizu in Taoling, I will cut off one of your fingers. Do you understand?"
Bian Tang was about to explain, as he was not the only one who went to Taoling to plunder, but he didn't dare to say anything. He only knew that he would be slapped again if he opened his mouth. His face was now swollen like a pig's head, and he would die if he was beaten again.
Ji Lingche didn't remember the rest of the things. It seemed that there were a few little demons harassing her on the road, but she had forgotten all about it. She only knew that Tang on the other side was indeed a bully who only feared the strong and bullied the weak. After being beaten by her, he really didn't say anything.
Ji Lingche looked at the woman in front of him and said, "Did I give you a name?"
The woman said, "Yes, I ran out from the fire and saw you whipping that pig's head. I followed you all the way and you found me. You told me not to follow you, but I kept pestering you and insisted that you give me your monk's name. Before that, they all called me Susu, but I thought that was very unbecoming."
Ji Lingche looked at the woman's face, as if he really saw the little Meizu from back then. She seemed to remember something and asked tentatively, "Su Mingmie?"
The woman was delighted and exclaimed, "It's me! The Lord God really remembers me!"
Ji Lingche remembered that there was indeed a little demon who was pestering her fiercely at that time. She looked at the flickering light of the Qingjing Pavilion in the distance and said casually, "Then call Su Mingmie."
Like a flickering wildfire, it never stops.
Ji Lingche laughed: "So, why are you in Shangjing City now?"
"That little emperor just now is your son?"
Su Mingmie laughed and said, "How is that possible? That little thing doesn't have any immortal roots."
When she smiled, her beauty was even brighter, like a bewitching concubine who brought disaster to the country. She said in a charming voice, "This child's biological mother is dead. I can only condescend to be the queen mother here."
Seeing her like this, Ji Lingche reasonably suspected that she had killed the old emperor and the child's biological mother in order to seize power.
But she didn't ask, she just said: "Why are you doing this, for me?"
Su Mingmie laughed and said, "Yes, you don't know how much the late emperor trusted Chu Heng before. He was bewitched by him and actually agreed to demolish all the Ping'an temples in the territory."
She smiled with her eyes curved. "Your image is in there. How could I tolerate such a thing happening?"
"Everyone in the world is calling me a witch, saying I bewitched the emperor and poisoned the empress..." She sneered, "Chu Heng told the late emperor I was a witch, but guess what, the late emperor didn't believe it. He even distanced himself from Chu Heng and never mentioned demolishing your palace again."
Ji Lingche looked at her like this, curled his lips silently, and said: "It seems that I did something unintentional. What was a good deed at the beginning has now planted the seeds of blessing for me."
Although this matter is eerie and strange, and the deaths of the late emperor and queen are terrifying when you think about it, and Su Mingmie is full of evil spirits and seems to be unscrupulous, what she did is indeed beneficial to the Immortal Alliance and to the people.
Although her original idea was not to seal the demon, she simply wanted to protect Ji Lingche's image.
Ji Lingche smiled and said, "Thank you very much."
Su Mingmie said: "What I did for the Imperial Master is nothing compared to what he did for me. I am very willing to stay here and guard the Ping'an Temple for you—"
Ji Lingche stared at her clear yet sharp eyes, and finally couldn't help asking, "The Mei people are born with blue eyes to distinguish them from humans, but your eyes are clearly black and white, and quite masculine. I'm curious, where did you get these eyes?"
Su Mingmie was stunned for a moment, then said, "I got it from a playboy."
"I think that man is a playboy, his words are dirty, and he's very annoying, very similar to the ones I met in Qingjing Pavilion. In my heart, I just thought that these people really deserve to die. However, the moment I saw him, I thought, his eyes are really beautiful. If they were on my face, they would definitely be more beautiful."
"Anyway, a scoundrel like this has no use for a pair of eyes like this. He'll just look at girls randomly. It would be better to give them to me. They will be more useful."
"I had a pair of blue eyes, and people either called me a lowly demon or tried to seduce and kidnap me. I was afraid of ending up in a place like Qingjing Pavilion again, so I covered my eyes with a white cloth to pretend to be blind. People couldn't see my blue eyes, so they just thought I was a pitiful woman and started treating me with courtesy. I thought then that I must get a pair of human eyes."
Su Mingmie laughed. "I've long forgotten the name of that lecher. I pretended to be a blind woman to approach him, but he didn't even realize I was from the Mei Clan. I played weak and pitiful to get his pity, and he actually took me back to his sect. Perhaps we fell in love over time, and he insisted on becoming my Taoist partner."
"As soon as I saw it, I realized this wasn't going to work. I had to run away quickly."
"Later, I told him I was dying and my only wish was to see the world. He eagerly offered me his eyes, so why would I refuse?"
Ji Lingche chuckled: "He actually gave you his eyes voluntarily?"
Su Mingmie laughed and said, "Yeah, I thought he was a very smart and difficult person, but he's just like this."
She said giddily, "I got his eyes, so I faked my own death and got away. I guess he still thinks I'm dead now."
Ji Lingche smiled for a long time and said, "So that's how it is."
Su Mingmie realized it belatedly and asked, "Does the Imperial Master know him?"
Ji Lingche said expressionlessly: "I don't know him."
It's a tit-for-tat. Considering Xie Feiguang's behavior in the past few years, he deserved to be deceived. Living in the shadow of his "deceased wife" is a unique retribution.
Ji Lingche said, "So, you called me over here just to reminisce about the past?"
Su Mingmie smiled and said, "Master Imperial Master is very busy. Even if I miss you, I dare not bother you rashly. I thought the Divine Lord died twenty years ago, but I have been following Chu Heng recently. Seeing his strange movements, I realized that you might be back. No matter what, I have to give it a try--"
"I saw something unusual happening at the Little Azure Dragon Temple today, and I stumbled upon it by accident. Who knew they'd actually invite the Imperial Master?"
"I was following Chu Heng earlier and discovered that he was in close contact with someone. I'm sure you know that person, so you took the initiative—"
