Chapter 50 Chaoyun Kingdom - Chaos Pearl (XIV) You kissed me...
When the conch shell shatters, the mermaid dies.
The Whirlwind Turtle received the signal to attack. However, the Whirlwind Turtle is the stabilizing force of Chongming. Once activated, it cannot be reversed. This means that the city of Chongming will be in turmoil for the next few hundred years, with no peace.
The siren cried out with tears in her eyes, "Your Highness... these humans are simply hateful!"
Jueming played with her beautiful, seaweed-like hair. After hearing the sobbing curse, he looked up at her and said dully, "No, dead."
However, he did not intend to let these disgusting and greedy humans go unpunished.
They hunted down the people of Chongming City and tortured them with extremely disgusting and extreme methods. Even though they knew his identity, they still kept him on land and provided him with blood-soaked mermaid pearls. Even if his brother were here today, he would never let them go.
However, Jueming lowered his head in disappointment at the sight of the fragrant older sister.
I love her so much, I want to take her back to the sea and keep her in a jade bottle.
The Star-Picking Pavilion was reduced to ruins, the Mermaid Pearl Array was destroyed, and the one who activated the array suffered a backlash. The mermaids took advantage of the chaos to escape, and the Chaos Pearl rose slowly from the ruins like the rising sun. The powerful energy emitted by the artifact was so strong that no one could get close to it.
Everyone was more or less affected by the backlash from the energy emitted by the divine artifact, and their cultivation was suppressed by a full 20%.
They couldn't believe that Wu Xiutang had used a forbidden technique that required absolute certainty to break the Mermaid Pearl Formation.
Li Fuchao looked at the approaching whirlwind turtle on the distant horizon, his heart filled with anxiety. "Qing Shu, what exactly is going on? Who is controlling the whirlwind turtle?"
In Song Qingshu's plan, only two people were supposed to control Li Fuxuan and the Xiliang envoy to prevent them from exposing the fake princess's scheme. Flooding Chaoyun was completely outside the plan, and she was unaware of it at all.
Even if Young Master Wu is driven mad with anger, he is not the kind of person who would risk the lives of the entire city's inhabitants.
Could they be those merfolk who fled?
"I don't know, but since we can't control the divine artifact, perhaps..."
The two exchanged a glance, then quickly changed direction and flew towards the Whirlwind Turtle on their swords.
Li Fuxuan had a look on his face as if the sky had fallen. The wailing of the people was close at hand, and evil spirits gathered in the sky, quickly forming a small cloud formation.
"Why is this happening, Master? Who exactly is that person?"
Zhang Qing did not answer him, but slowly wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, staring expressionlessly in the direction the crane had left.
You little beast, you're still as crazy as ever after all these years.
He actually used the Spirit Fire to resist an ancient artifact; what a reckless brat who only cares about showing off and doesn't value his life.
He crushed the Yin Chi, which was trying to launch a sneak attack, with one foot, and ordered in a deep voice: "You and the fairy boy go to protect the safety of the Emperor and Empress. Remember, there must be no failure."
The crane was fleeing rapidly, bringing with it a tsunami-like airflow. Even though it had already flown this high, Shi Xianxue could still hear the screams of the people below.
The burning jealousy in his heart consumed Wu Xiutang's reason. His anger surged, and he was unaware of the consequences of his actions. He stared at her with resentment, as if he had been betrayed and wanted to tear her to pieces in his gaze.
Shi Xianxue felt that if he had a knife in his hand right now, he would not hesitate to stab himself through the neck from left to right.
He seemed to have truly given up everything—the divine artifact, the demonic bone, the future demon lord—all of it was thrown to the back of his mind.
She seemed to have committed an unforgivable and heinous crime, and Wu Xiutang was extremely obsessed with taking her to her death, leaving no room for negotiation.
That won't do.
She didn't know where the courage came from, but facing a person who kept saying he wanted to kill her, Shi Xianxue broke free of her restraints and hugged him without hesitation.
Her soft cheek brushed against his chin, and the girl's fragrant body nestled into his arms, her slender shoulders trembling slightly, her fair neck taut.
Like a fragile, begging, soft-furred little animal.
The overwhelming killing intent in the boy's eyes froze instantly, as if solidified by ice.
"Wu Xiutang, calm down. What do you mean by death? We're going to live to be a hundred years old." Her voice trembled with fear, but she still held back her fear and desperately hugged the boy's waist. "I was just kidding. I'm not afraid of you at all. You're just being stubborn and soft-hearted. You're actually very good to me. I remember it all."
Shi Xianxue racked her brains trying to recall her mistakes.
“I have no intention of marrying Brother Li. Even if I did, it was just a childish thought. I am Shi Huaiyu, and also Shi Xianxue and Wu Xiutang.” Shi Xianxue tried to stop her voice from trembling. “If lying about this matter has made you so angry, then I apologize. I’m sorry. Please don’t be unhappy or angry. This is the last time. I will never lie to you again.”
Wu Xiutang clenched the fabric, his knuckles turning white, then quickly released it, feeling the warmth of the girl in his arms. For some unknown reason, extreme thoughts surged up in his heart again like a rising tide.
You're lying to me right now.
Shi Xianxue: "..."
“I don’t believe you. You will become Li Fuchao’s wife. You’re a liar. You’ve lied to me.”
His tone was extremely resentful and accusatory, and he anxiously tried to push Shi Xianxue away.
Shi Xianxue refused to let go, and started acting strangely and shamelessly: "I swear I will never lie to you again. If I break this oath, may I never be able to get rich for the rest of my life."
But then she realized how malicious the words were and immediately changed them to, "May my soul be scattered and my body left to die without a burial place."
"Shut up." He frowned even deeper and couldn't help but scold in a low voice.
"Oh, sorry, I forgot we share a fate." Seeing that he finally stopped resisting, Shi Xianxue quickly patted his back gently, knelt down and pressed her face against his, her posture intimate, and coaxed him in a voice, "Okay, okay, let's not be angry anymore, being angry will make you ugly."
The boy's body was cold, like a stubborn stone. Shi Xianxue waited for a while, but still received no response. The kneeling position was already uncomfortable, and after a while, her knees ached so much that her body slid down uncontrollably.
Just as she was pondering when it would be appropriate to persuade him to go back and stop the spinning turtle, her sliding body was caught by two broad and strong hands.
"You like someone else." He paused, gritting his teeth, "But you kissed me."
Shi Xianxue's mind went blank for a moment.
When should I kiss him?
Is it at the lantern tree?
Shi Xianxue found it hard to believe: "But I kissed you to save you, and you know what happened at the time. Why are you angry about that?"
The hand around her waist suddenly tightened violently, and Shi Xianxue screamed and begged for mercy.
The system was getting impatient and couldn't help but yell, "Are you stupid? This is possessiveness. Haven't you noticed? Because of the love potion, he now treats you as his possession, just like Wu Ying the Fire Ibis. Such a paranoid villain, how can he tolerate someone else snoring beside his bed? Do I need to teach you this principle?"
Shi Xianxue suddenly understood.
No wonder he acted so strangely. He had gone to great lengths to disguise himself for so long, but now he had exposed the cruelty and tyranny in his heart to the male and female protagonists. It turned out that his possessiveness was the culprit. Just like when she was a child, she would make a scene and cause a scene in the whole hospital after her favorite toy was taken away.
Wu Xiutang's personality was more extreme. If his own things were tainted with the aura of others, she remembered that in the original work, he burned that person and his belongings to ashes.
"It has to be you, teacher." Shi Xianxue felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
So here's the question.
She was neither an object nor a pet, and she bore no mark of slavery; she was a living, thinking, and independent individual.
She doesn't belong to Wu Xiutang, she doesn't belong to anyone else, she belongs only to herself.
So she explained gently, "Wu Xiutang, you can't think like that. I will kiss you, and I will also kiss Sister Qing Shu, the Golden-Spitting Boy, Wu Ying, and the little bird."
Who is the little bird?
The flamingo had just curiously poked its head out when a wicked hand grabbed its neck, followed by a soft, wet touch on its forehead.
Shi Xianxue twisted her neck with difficulty: "Look, like this."
The little bird froze.
"What does this mean? I'm not your property. It's my freedom to kiss whomever I want. Do you want to put me in Doraemon's pocket too?"
"I remember you said you wanted to turn me into a puppet." Shi Xianxue felt the force on her body loosen and broke free. Her almond-shaped eyes shone with a snowy light as she looked at him with great seriousness. "I am human, and I have my flaws. Even if I stop lying to you, I will still do things that make you angry in the future. If you have to involve so many people every time you get angry, then why not turn me into a puppet now?"
Shi Xianxue's words were like adding fuel to the fire. The fire ibis felt a chill on its forehead and, before it could be implicated, the dog scurried back into the Boundless Bag.
A sinister glint appeared in Wu Xiutang's eyes. "You're threatening me again, threatening me for someone else's sake?"
Shi Xianxue tried everything to reason with him, but the man remained stubborn and started to get stuck on his own ideas.
The spinning tortoise has breached the city walls and is about to flood Jinshan.
Shi Xianxue was extremely anxious, her eyes filled with unease.
As the crane soared to a height of a hundred feet, thin clouds drifted through her sleeves. Shi Xianxue sensed a brand burning hot within her spiritual palace.
She paused for a moment, her expression blank, and the shape of the brand became even clearer.
She glanced at the furious Wu Xiutang and silently channeled a wisp of spiritual energy into him.
The spiritual realm opened wide, and the mark shone brightly.
The person in front of me tensed up instantly, then became completely stiff as if petrified, unable to even lift their little finger.
The only part of its body that can move is its eyes.
Shi Xianxue had clearly also discovered the blind spot; she was unaware that when Wu Xiutang harbored murderous intent towards her, the love potion could help her control his actions.
“Wu Xiutang, I know you’re going to get angry again, but I also have things I have to do.”
She glanced at Wu Xiutang one last time, then without hesitation, she flipped off the crane and fell towards the direction of the Star-Picking Pavilion.
--
The Star-Picking Pavilion had been destroyed into ruins. Yin Chi lurked in the sky, eyeing the divine artifact above. Someone must have struck the remaining formation, causing the Chaos Pearl to tremble violently in the sky and break free of the formation, flying westward.
Wherever it went, it smashed demons and cultivators who couldn't dodge in time into dust.
Having witnessed the power of the ancient artifact, the crowd ceased their fighting and fled in screams.
Song Qingshu and her companion were fighting the Whirlwind Turtle when a blinding light flashed, and the Chaos Pearl appeared above their heads.
At the same time, a figure fell from the sky like a shooting star, landing precisely where the Chaos Pearl was located.
Upon recognizing the person, Song Qingshu's expression changed drastically. She flew against the flow of people on her sword towards the Chaos Pearl.
Shi Xianxue thought she was very likely to be thrown to her death, but the beam of light in mid-air suddenly burst out with a strong adhesive force that pulled her in.
When she saw the bead that had brought her there, her expression brightened, and she reached out to grab it, not expecting that the Chaos Bead had been waiting for this moment.
It had long sensed the goddess's presence and was now joyfully absorbing her power.
By the time Shi Xianxue realized something was wrong, it was too late. She was completely unable to move. The bead seemed to be growing into her palm, greedily and rampantly sucking away her life force.
