It can't be such a coincidence...

He is the bishop of the church, and such a powerful bishop, who also possesses the power of Heavenly Father.

How could she become his fiancée?

Although Jiang Bei knew that his masters were all very powerful and could even get the marriage certificates of the Xue and Xu families.

but……

This is a great bishop!

To be honest, if it weren’t for the fact that his training method was different from that of the ancient warriors.

With just Ed alone, even the Xuanwu Guardian would suffer a great loss if he came over!

That silver light, that black light…it’s indeed a bit over the top.

The great Sun Ao Shi spent his entire life trying to become a grandmaster but failed, let alone others?

How could this be so easy?

But now there appeared a young woman whose strength on paper was comparable to that of a Grandmaster, but whose real combat power far exceeded that of a Grandmaster ancient warrior...

To be honest.

Jiang Bei also found it ridiculous.

No!

Regardless of whether it's ridiculous or not, this definitely can't be my fiancée!

My fiancée should be a pretty, gentle and lovely girl... Well, although the four at home and the two outside don't really fit these labels.

But there will definitely be such things. At the very least, it shouldn’t be the kind of thing that’s happening right now. He wants to kill me if we don’t agree with him!

The corners of Jiang Bei's eyes were twitching violently.

at this time.

Ed was still leaning against the boulder, her head still lowered, a self-deprecating smile on her lips.

I guess it's because the poison is too strong, and he's obviously intoxicated...

Affects the mind.

Moreover, Jiang Bei had been unable to use his spiritual sense to explore the internal conditions of his body before, but now he could finally see the moon after the clouds had been cleared away...M..

The poisonous miasma had already invaded her body.

Ed was so weak that she didn't even have the strength to lift her head.

"I know, you probably don't believe it..."

"But that's the fact." Ed muttered to herself, as if she didn't care at all how Jiang Bei would react to her next words.

She was just talking very calmly.

"I was born into an ancient martial arts family in Hangzhou City. I have shown extraordinary talent in martial arts since I was a child... People in my family said that I have the hope of becoming a master by the age of 20, and a grand master before the age of 40."

Oh... such a damn cheesy talent.

The twitching in Jiang Bei's eyes intensified.

But he still didn't interrupt Ed's monologue.

"Later..."

"My family was destroyed because of many secrets of the hidden family. You killed my family members, and I am going to kill your family members... The love and hate lasted for a hundred years."

"I escaped and was rescued by an old priest."

"What happened afterwards... I can't remember clearly. The funny thing is, should I thank these poisonous miasma? If I hadn't landed here tonight, I might not even remember the days I lived in China until the moment I died."

"But it seems there's no point in thinking about it. I'm dying, and my parents died a long time ago."

As if she had used up all her strength, Ed raised her head.

The moonlight shining through the crescent of sky became extremely bright in her eyes.

"Look...those are my parents." She slowly raised her hands.

Jiang Bei also slowly raised his head.

"They told me that those two stars are the first two stars I see when I look up at night. After five years, I finally remembered this sentence."

“…”

Jiang Bei remained calm, not bothered by what Ed had described.

During these years in the North, he had long been accustomed to life and death, and could face his own life and death calmly. If he had not left many things unfinished, he might have died calmly in prison.

Ed took a deep look at the two stars, and his head drooped uncontrollably again.

Judging from the speed at which the black poisonous miasma spread in her body, she was estimated to have less than an hour left to live.

This last bit of strength, if used to speak, would also speed up the passing of her life.

As an enemy, Jiang Bei did not call for a stop.

And Ed didn't stop either. She still had a lot to say, something she wanted to express for the last time in her life tonight.

Even if the person listening is Jiang Bei, a mortal enemy.

But at least he hasn't interrupted yet, so he's a qualified listener.

"This place is no longer my homeland. I am just a person whose mind is controlled by the church. Thank you for listening to me..."

"Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to trick you into giving me the antidote. If I really leave here, I will still kill you by any means necessary."

"Why?" Jiang Bei couldn't help but ask.

"because……"

Ed turned his head slightly with great effort and glanced at Jiang Bei out of the corner of his eye, "Because... the church must have already started to take action."

"They will stop at nothing to take me back. Do you think I will still be myself after I go back? Will I still remember what I said to you tonight? It's better for me to die here in a conscious state."

Jiang Bei was silent for a moment, and said truthfully: "The moment you attacked me, I never thought of giving you the antidote."

Of course, there is another scenario...

Ed smiled faintly.

It can be regarded as leaving the most beautiful smile to the world.

Her consciousness collapsed again.

Jiang Bei finally saw this woman smile for the first time, even though her face was extremely pale and her lips had turned a horrible gray.

Yet it can still be stunningly beautiful.

She is not as classically beautiful as Xu Wanqing, nor as dashingly beautiful as Xue Yu, nor as delicate and pretty as Chen Ningshuang, nor as charming as Yun Shuang, as cold and arrogant as Su Lanxin, nor as dignified and generous as Chu Ruoyi.

Her beauty is special.

So pure that there seems to be no trace of impurities.

"I'm beautiful, right?" Ed suddenly asked, as if he felt Jiang Bei's gaze.

Jiang Bei: “???”

Could it be that this woman was really possessed by the poison and had gone crazy?

The next moment, Ed chuckled and said, "But unfortunately, I already have a fiancé... My fiancé is a very powerful man."

"Oh, then why didn't he help when your family was destroyed?"

Ed was choked, not knowing that Jiang Bei's gaze had completely frozen at this moment, staring at her intently.

After a moment, Ed shook his head and said, "I haven't seen him yet."

“…”

"My engagement with him, if you count it... was made seven years ago, when I was fifteen."

"How do you know he's a powerful man when you haven't even met him?" Jiang Bei sneered.

"Because he is from the Taoist sect."

Jiang Bei was stunned.

Then he laughed.

Taoism?

What the hell is that?

I've never heard of it, okay?

I belong to the country! At most, I am half a member of a hidden family!

But one thing is for sure!

It was a false alarm!

This woman has nothing to do with me!

"I'm afraid you don't even know what Taoism is?" Ed tilted his head and looked at Jiang Bei with a faint smile.
