Chapter 16 Even your master treats me with utmost respect
In the original book, the third male lead, Linghu Zhuoyu, is the top genius of the "Object Control" sect among the "Five Eccentrics" of Yingzhou. He was born with the ability to understand snake language and has a photographic memory for talismans and arrays. After meeting the female lead in a secret realm, he met her again in Yingzhou and fell in love with her. From then on, he became one of Sang Wanyue's followers.
Linghu Zhuoyu was actually so soft and cute in the early stages... Mu Jianjian recalled the figure of him tugging at her clothes and calling her "sister".
Perhaps she shouldn't have let the original book have given her a stereotype.
Thinking this, Mu Jianjian gradually realized that her vision was getting blurrier and blurrier, and a sense of powerlessness welled up in her heart. She bit her lip and dodged a floating rock, her true energy was almost exhausted.
Seeing an opening on Qu Yang's right, she swung the Nine Heavens Silk Ribbon towards that side. The silk descended like lightning, and Mu Jianjian knew she had to finish the battle quickly.
Qu Yang saw the ribbon attacking and smiled disdainfully. So what if he lost his parasitic power and his strength decreased? He swung his blood-stained scythe, and the ribbon collided with it, making a "sizzle" sound that echoed throughout the underground palace.
Mu Jianjian twisted her right hand, and the ribbon curved and pierced his body from behind!
It was a success!
Before she could even feel her surprise, a black pill appeared in Qu Yang's mouth. He bit down on it under Mu Jianjian's astonished gaze, and his body, which had been pierced by the Nine Heavens Ribbon, regenerated at an astonishing speed!
"Huh?"
Black energy scattered, and Mu Jianjian's vision went black. Her hand, which was holding the ribbon, fell limply to her side, and she fainted into Sun Yu's arms the next second.
"So what if you're powerful? You woman still fell for my poison." Qu Yang knew from the beginning that this young man, being the most powerful of the two, was setting up a formation for him, so his initial target was this girl!
Sun Yu's veil, hanging down to her waist, completely obscured their faces. Qu Yang spat out a mouthful of saliva. "I see that your formation also belongs to the 'Five Eccentrics' of Yingzhou. Speaking of which, we two have quite a history. How about I give you her antidote and also give you the movement control technique?"
He realized that the other party liked the girl and thought he had made the most irresistible offer.
Without the barrier of the veil, Sun Yu lowered his eyes to look at Mu Jianjian, whose face was pale. He put a pill into the girl's mouth, then stroked her face, his fingers pausing on the bumpy parts.
This is where the human skin mask is worn.
Sun Yu's fingertips paused there. "Sister, if you want to keep it a secret, then keep it a secret," she said, looking up at Qu Yang, who seemed to have the victory in her grasp.
"What are you talking about?" Sun Yu tilted her head, her eyes fixed on a dead man. "The Seven Kill Formation is already drawn. Although it took a lot of effort, who told you to hurt my sister?"
A chilling aura swept over him, and even tiny ice crystals floated eerily in the air. In an instant, Qu Yang felt a scorching heat, experiencing both ice and fire!
The wound that had been healed by the black pill seemed to have turned back time, and blood gushed out again. Qu Yang looked at the boy holding the woman in disbelief.
He clearly saw him stop to go and meet this woman!
Qu Yang's gaze suddenly fell on the black scorpion on the boy's body, and he trembled violently, "It's you! It's always been you! When I was fighting with Cui Wenxiao, it was you who caused the draining of my spiritual energy, wasn't it?"
Sun Yu nodded. "Yes."
Qu Yang felt a pang in his heart. He had been tricked from the very beginning! "That woman has been poisoned by me. If you kill me, she will surely die within three days!"
"Your poison? Did you create this poison?" Sun Yu chuckled. "Don't embarrass yourself by showing off a poison that's so obvious."
Qu Yang was so angry she almost bled!
"You can't kill me... My master is one of the 'Five Eccentrics' of Yingzhou... If you kill me, my master will track you down to the ends of the earth and kill you!" Qu Yang retreated as Sun Yu approached, blood gushing from the large hole in his chest, yet he still clung to a sliver of hope.
“Your master… even your master treats me with utmost respect,” Sun Yu’s lips curled into a mocking smile, “who do you think you are?”
“You…you are…” Qu Yang looked at Sun Yu in disbelief. The moment the veil was lifted, he saw the other’s heterochromatic eyes, one gray and one black. His body trembled violently. “You are that person’s son! An ominous…monster born with bad luck.”
The sound grew fainter and fainter until finally, the person collapsed to the ground and fell silent.
As Sun Yu was still in a daze, a fair hand landed on his shoulder, "Sun Yu..."
Mu Jianjian was still immersed in the battle before she fainted, and her tense nerves were stunned when she saw Sun Yu's magnified profile.
Only then did I realize that I was being carried in a princess carry.
A blush rose like rising clouds, and her earlobes were tinged with rouge. She cried out in a panic, "Put me down quickly!"
The earlier gloom was dispelled by the girl's charming demeanor. Sun Yu obediently put Mu Jianjian down, her voice aggrieved, "Sister, just wait a little longer and my talisman array will be finished. There's no need to risk killing him. You could have let me do it. What if there's no antidote this time?"
Wouldn't she die right in front of him? Just thinking about that possibility made Sun Yu breathless.
Mu Jianjian pouted. She just didn't want to hide behind him... It was rare to have someone of similar skill level to practice against, and she was eager to accumulate combat experience.
However, I also realized that I had taken too much of a risk and that I should be more cautious next time.
"Anyway, it's all over." Mu Jianjian reflected in her heart, but still stubbornly insisted. She squatted down and picked through Cui Wenxiao's body. "Do you have any magic treasures you need? There are quite a few valuable things in his spatial bag."
"Sister, everything I need is with Qu Yang, and he even took the beast core."
The implication was clear: she could choose whatever she wanted. Mu Jianjian's eyes lit up, and she turned to Sun Yu for final confirmation. "Really? Cui Wenxiao has a lot of medium-grade spirit stones in his spatial bag!"
Even after transmigrating into a mistress and becoming a semi-rich woman, Mu Jianjian still couldn't shake the habit of her eyes lighting up at the sight of money.
Who would complain about having too much money!
Sun Yu was unaware of the doting tone in her smile. "Really, sister."
"By the way, let's ask Aunt Ye and the others to come in from the front hall," Mu Jianjian said, looking longingly at the long corridor in front of her.
——
When Sister Ye helped the cultivator Ye, who had woken up after taking the pill, into the underground palace, she was shocked by the dilapidated ruins in front of her. Countless knife marks were laid out, and a faint smell of blood filled the air, clearly indicating that a great battle had just taken place.
The couple looked at the young girl sitting on the ground counting money and gently called out, "Miss Sun."
Mu Jianjian looked up and smiled, pointing to the magical artifacts and treasures on the ground, "Sister Ye, take a look at these, what do you want?"
But no one answered before she finished speaking. The couple stood there dumbfounded. Mu Jianjian thought they were overjoyed. "What's wrong?"
Sun Yu said softly, "Sister, you haven't changed your human skin mask."
