Chapter 581: Chapter 291: Phoenix Spreads Its Wings!_2

Life is but a few short decades. To fret over things and end up gaining nothing, that would be too much of a loss.

So I’ll boldly love this once.

It doesn’t matter who you marry; I don’t care if I’m seen as a homewrecking vixen. Whether you like me or not is also of no concern, as long as I like you, that’s enough.

When I miss you, I’ll come and bother you. When I don’t, I’ll go have my fun.

If I want to have children, I’ll just drug you and have my way. If I no longer want to take care of them, I’ll leave them to you. After all, you are their father, you can’t just not take care of them...

Seeing Mr. Li’s reasoning going off the rails, Jiang Shouzhong cleared his throat.

Li Nanshuang also realized her topics were straying and chuckled, then said earnestly:

"Jiang Mo, what men hate most isn’t rejecting a woman who loves them, nor is it wanting to have everything.

It’s wanting to, yet not daring to, and still not rejecting...

Of course, your heart is soft, and you’re susceptible to persuasion, and you worry about their feelings, all of which are not wrong.

But have you ever thought, the more you act this way, the greater the hurt you cause them? Either reject them all and go to Wuchan Temple to become a monk—I’ll personally shave your head for you.

Or be more decisive. If someone likes you, just accept them all. What’s the issue?

My stewed noodles grew up so handsome, what’s wrong with having three wives and four concubines? In the future, you might even become the Emperor, with your three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines.

If Mugua, Hongling, and the others don’t permit it and make trouble, then just tell them to get lost. They’re only acting like this because they are spoiled. If they’re unwilling to be the principal wife, let me be it; I’m very generous. I don’t mind you taking concubines..."

Jiang Shouzhong, who was listening attentively, suddenly had an odd expression on his face.

The boss had basically smacked him in the face with her reasoning.

Li Nanshuang, far from being embarrassed about her slip of the tongue, hands akimbo and full of bluster, said: "Anyway, I think I’m more suitable to be the chief wife than they are. I’m not at all stubborn."

Jiang Shouzhong began to laugh.

The gloom that had shrouded the bottom of his heart also dissipated a lot at this moment.

The boss was always like this—the skies were always clear whenever she was around, warming his heart.

——

Qu Hongling, riding on her Phoenix-Slaying flying sword, soared into the air, poured out a bottle of Netherworld Demon Qi over herself, fully releasing the demon energy on her body, and then flew south.

The ghostly owls and other birds of prey, coming from all directions, swarmed like they’re drawn to the scent of a delicious meal, flapping their wings in pursuit.

The ghostly owls gathered in droves, densely packed in the sky, forming a cloud-like tide resembling an undulating sea of ink, majestic and powerful, almost enough to engulf Qu Hongling’s slender form.

Seeing that the timing was almost right, Qu Hongling took out a small porcelain doll from her bosom.

This porcelain doll bore some resemblance to Qu Hongling and could create a clone similar to Jiang Shou’s puppets, but it could only be used once.

Seeing a clump of clouds ahead, Qu Hongling had a thought and immediately rode her sword like a crane through the clouds, shooting swiftly into them.

The figure of the girl vanished into the depths of the sea of clouds.

Just as she was about to break through the clouds, Qu Hongling flicked her finger gracefully, and a lush green leaf sprang lightly from her fingertip.

This was a secret illusion technique passed down in the Taoist lineage—Leaf That Obscures the Sight.

When cast, the green leaf transformed into a mysterious talisman, enveloping and protecting her. In an instant, Qu Hongling’s true body was hidden, leaving only the flying sword to break through the cloud layer.

Meanwhile, the little porcelain doll took on Qu Hongling’s appearance, its body covered with a bottle of Netherworld Demon Qi.

The clone rode the flying sword straight toward the ground.

The speed of its descent gradually slowed.

The pursuing mob of ghostly owls, dark as a cloud eclipse, encircled the clone tightly.

These ghostly owls were ferociously aggressive, gaping their beaks and pecking viciously like hungry wolves.

And in the moment the flying sword touched the ground, the porcelain clone shattered instantly, turning into sharp crystal shards.

The sharp shards, as dense as a sudden downpour, charged with the speed of a gale, directly lunged at the relentless ghostly owls.

Blood mist surged up, staining the sky a continuous deep crimson in an instant.

Taking advantage of this, the Phoenix-Slaying flying sword caught Qu Hongling as she descended.

After a long while, not a single ghostly owl remained in the sky.

Only the smell of blood lingered.

Qu Hongling, standing on the flying sword, stopped ten feet above the ground, gazing at the bloodstained feathers falling liberally through the air. She turned the sword tip and prepared to leave.

But as she turned around, she saw a man in white robes standing in her way.

It was Bai Feiqing, the eleventh Peak Master of the Myriad Phenomena God Sect.

"Mr. Qu, do you really think you can just kill so many of my precious pets and leave? We’re somewhat old friends, aren’t we? Isn’t your action a bit excessive?"

Gazing at the blood-stained feathers that filled the sky, Bai Feiqing’s face turned grim.

Bai Feiqing had been an abandoned infant. In his childhood, he was raised by a bird in the Thousand Beasts Forest and happened to come across a demonic cultivation secret manual in a cave dwelling.

As he grew up, perhaps influenced by the secret manual, Bai Feiqing’s cultivation soared, and his temperament became increasingly violent. He even devoured the bird demon that had raised him.

After leaving the Thousand Beasts Forest, Bai Feiqing wandered the Jianghu for a while before eventually joining the Myriad Phenomena God Sect.

Qu Hongling had seen him when she was little.

At that time, Bai Feiqing was already a high-level master of the Thousand Beasts Forest, often killing animals to drink their blood, with a perverse character.

"Too much?"

Qu Hongling’s eyebrows raised in mockery, "Mr. Bai, you really have no shame."

Bai Feiqing eyed the girl’s graceful figure, a lascivious glint in his eyes, and a faint smile on his lips, "It’s been many years; the little girl has grown more and more beautiful, and has even become a sect master."

He held a folding fan and said with a smile:

"In Mr. Qu’s presence, what’s the value of a face? Now my ghost owls have been killed by Mr. Qu, so shouldn’t you offer an apology?"

While thinking of a way to escape, Qu Hongling laughed, "I wonder how Mr. Bai would like me to accompany him?"

Bai Feiqing gently shook the folding fan:

"Very simple, as the saying goes, a spring night is worth a thousand gold. My ghost owls should be worth a hundred thousand gold, don’t you think? Mr. Qu can calculate how many nights that would be."

Qu Hongling’s lovely face remained smiling, yet she retorted coldly, "Unfortunately, Mr. Bai doesn’t have the ability to make me pay."

"I’d like to try."

Bai Feiqing slowly unfolded the folding fan, which depicted a scene full of birds.

With a gentle wave of the fan.

A swarm of black birds, resembling hawks, surged out of the folding fan and pounced towards Qu Hongling.

The black birds held venom in their beaks and were exceptionally fierce.

Qu Hongling turned the tip of her sword and soared into the sky, tossing out the last few talismans she had on her.

A wall of fire created by the talismans blocked some of the black birds, but the majority still closed in. The black birds spread out, slowly forming a surrounding siege.

Bai Feiqing rode a giant bird, moving at great speed.

He quickly caught up to the girl from behind.

"Mr. Qu, you should just surrender obediently," said Bai Feiqing with a smile, "Your two companions won’t be able to escape. I know you’re worried about them right now. Don’t rush, you’ll be together very soon."

Qu Hongling turned a deaf ear, focusing on dodging the black birds that sporadically pursued her.

Seeing the woman’s refusal to accept the situation, Bai Feiqing snorted coldly and forcefully swung the folding fan.

The black birds, as if driven by an inexplicable force, doubled their speed, appearing at first glance like black blades relentlessly attacking the girl.

Several times, Qu Hongling narrowly avoided the venom sprayed by the black birds.

As the number of black birds grew, the sky became shadowed by them, and Qu Hongling found herself surrounded, with no spare space left to dodge. With no choice left, the girl continued to fly upwards.

However, Bai Feiqing had anticipated Qu Hongling’s move and reached the spot ahead of her, standing firm as if an insurmountable gorge, blocking the young girl’s path.

"Little girl, I’d like to see where you can flee to now," Bai Feiqing sneered.

"Flee?"

A dismissive light gleamed in Qu Hongling’s eyes, "Mr. Bai, you must find it amusing to use such bird taming techniques in front of a demon like me, don’t you?"

Bai Feiqing was taken aback, a bad premonition rising in his heart.

Qu Hongling lightly tapped her long sword with her foot, moving as gracefully as if she were walking on waves, nimbly gliding through the void.

The girl extended her arms as if a phoenix were spreading its wings.

As Qu Hongling’s fingers flickered, countless threads of red silk shot from her fingertips, like a weaver tossing her shuttle, pinning each black bird in place.

In an instant, the surrounding black birds were all restrained by the red threads.

Bai Feiqing was secretly shocked, "Was the girl not actually fleeing, but intentionally applying a secret technique on these black birds while pretending to dodge?"

"Kill!"

Qu Hongling’s lips parted slightly.

Red silk like blood, filling the sky like rosy clouds.

From a distance, it looked like a giant phoenix spreading its wings across the sky, a sight immensely stirring.
