Chapter 423: Chapter 226 I Really Love This Place_4

"Indeed, a person of talent."

Jiang Shouzhong was unable to evaluate, he could only sigh with emotion.

"He is a genius."

The elderly woman’s gaze was complex, as if reminiscing about something, she slowly said, "From a young age, he had shown a strong martial arts talent, but it’s a pity he was born with deficient meridians, unable to cultivate normally, so he decided to take the shortcut of Dual Cultivation."

He only needed half of a Cultivation Technique’s secret manual to complete it, nearly perfecting it."

For example, there was a secret manual called "Sword that Breaks Ten Thousand Skill" circulating in the Jianghu, of which only the first half, a damaged scroll, was available, yet he managed to fill in the gaps and complete it, enabling cultivation.

Therefore, his choice to use this method to complete his many years of research into the art of longevity signifies that he has gained confidence. I believe if we don’t obstruct him any longer, he might actually succeed."

Is he really that formidable?

Jiang Shouzhong was secretly amazed.

After the old woman left, Jiang Shouzhong returned to his own room to study the paper dolls.

On nine of the paper dolls, the name of Luo Mingtang was written, while the other two of the golden talisman paper were blank.

At this time, Jiang Shouzhong did not dare experiment, remembering Feng Yichen had said that once these things were used, they would be considered spent and couldn’t be reused.

"Perhaps... the timing is just right."

Jiang Shouzhong thought to himself.

Stowing away the paper dolls, Jiang Shouzhong thought of the mysterious and unfathomable Xie.

Despite not wanting to admit it, having had an intimate encounter with such a stunningly beautiful and proud supreme expert made Jiang Shouzhong feel a mix of excitement and palpitations inside.

Especially since the two possessed the ability to sense each other’s pain.

It’s just that the woman was somewhat mad, and Jiang Shouzhong had no intention of entangling himself further with her; he only hoped she could safely bring Er Liang back.

Thinking of Er Liang, Jiang Shouzhong remembered Zhang Que’er.

He didn’t know how the girl fared after being taken to the Ten Thousand Mountains by Lou Wanmo. Would she remember him the next time they met?

The fate of each person is like candy of different flavors: sweet, sour, bitter.

——

Ten Thousand Mountains, Blood Spirit Cave.

Inside the forbidden Blood Pond, the crimson liquid congealed like the amber of the dark night, its color deep and nearly sinister.

In front of the Blood Pond stood a young girl quietly.

Though she was young, her tender face was incredibly beautiful, like a lotus blooming in the night.

Adorned in a black dress, her slender figure was accentuated, her skin as fair as snow. Yet, the girl’s expression was cold and detached, not exhibiting the slightest warmth.

Behind the girl, a black lycoris flower swayed silently, its velvet-like petals deep in color, emanating an indescribable chill and eeriness.

As the blood from the Blood Pond was gradually absorbed by the black lycoris, the girl stepped out of the cave.

The faint sunlight pierced the eyes, shining upon the girl, coating her in a thin layer of gold.

The girl lifted her delicate, fair hand to her forehead, staring blankly at the warm, intoxicating sun, her moist, thin lips curving slightly, revealing a trace of a serene and warm smile, as if recalling a past filled with warmth and affection.

"Brother Hu, you can’t go in! Jiang is cultivating..."

Just then, an anxious voice suddenly rang out.

A young man in a blue robe, forcefully pushing past the girl trying to stop him, headed straight for Ten Thousand Cave Peak.

On seeing the black-clothed girl, Brother Hu paused, then sneered:

"Jiang Que, the Blood Pond in cave number Yi-3 was filled with prey I captured, nourished by the Blood Sacrifice Secret Skill. Now, it has been absorbed by you. Shouldn’t you give me an explanation?"

Zhang Que’er... no, the girl who now went by Jiang Que looked at him indifferently, "What kind of explanation would Brother Hu like?"

The man ogled the girl’s delicate yet stunning figure, his gaze revealing a lecherous glint.

Although the girl in front of him was brought in by the cave master himself, the principle of the Blood Spirit Cave was survival of the fittest, without regard for the camaraderie of sect brethren, so he unapologetically said:

"Jiang Que, being new here, I, as your senior, won’t make things too hard for you. Just spend three nights with me, and we will call it even,"

"Agreed."

Jiang Que’s crimson lips curled slightly.

"Agreed?"

Senior Brother Hu was stunned by her swift agreement, pausing for a moment before smiling radiantly,

"Jiang Que seems to know the ways of the world. But agreeing so quickly... it seems you’re a little slut at heart. Have you been pining to throw yourself into my arms all along, even going so far as to steal my blood pond on purpose?"

Seeing the girl silent, Senior Brother Hu thought he had hit the nail on the head and gleefully moved forward to embrace her.

However, instantaneously, he sensed his body restrained as if locked by an unseen force, unable to move.

A sense of fear emerged spontaneously.

In an instant, countless fine and long cracks spread silently across his body, like the traces of age and weathering on ancient porcelain, a horrific sight.

"Farewell, Senior Brother Hu. I won’t see you out,"

Jiang Que brushed past him.

Boom—

The man’s body exploded into pieces, bursting into a mass of blood and flesh.

The girl who had been stopping the man was petrified by this scene, her face turning slightly pale.

She looked at Jiang Que with concern, her expression on the verge of tears, "Jiang... Jiang, Senior Brother Hu was Mr. Li’s nephew. What are we going to do now? Have we caused a disaster?"

"It’s okay, Xiao Yun. If anything happens, I will take the blame,"

Jiang Que gently wiped the tears from the corner of the frightened girl’s eyes.

In a daze, she was reminded of her little sister Er Liang.

"I’m sorry, Jiang. It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t gotten the cave location wrong..."

The girl was full of self-reproach.

Jiang Que pinched the chubby cheeks of the young girl and said softly, "I told you it’s fine. Stop crying, or you won’t look pretty anymore. Then even the beasts and demons of Thousand Beasts Forest won’t desire you."

"Pfft!"

The girl burst into laughter through her tears.

Jiang Que continued to wipe the tears from the girl’s face, her expression somber.

She gently pulled out the girl’s jade hairpin, then viciously stabbed it into the girl’s neck!

Blood spattered out, making sizzling sounds.

The girl, Yuner, widened her eyes in disbelief as she looked at Jiang Que.

The hidden weapon in Yuner’s hands slowly slipped from her grasp.

"Did you think I didn’t know it was intentional?"

Jiang Que, still smiling, looked at the only girl who had been kind to her since she entered the sect, and said, "I just found you amusing and was playing along. Did you really think Jiang Que... was an idiot?"

Thud! Thud! Thud!

As she spoke, Jiang Que repeatedly stabbed her with the jade hairpin.

Soon, the girl was riddled with holes, dead beyond any doubt.

Covered in blood, Jiang Que tossed the jade hairpin to the ground, her slender fingers delicately scraping off a smear of blood that had landed on her fair face, extending her tongue to gently lick it, then smearing it on her lips...

Jiang Que tilted her head back slightly, basking in the warmth of the sunlight.

Her black and red skirt fluttered like a dance of flames.

Squinting her eyes, her radiant red lips curled upward slightly as she murmured, "I like this place too much."
