Chapter 799: Chapter 391: Disingenuous Ran Qingchen

Xiao Lingqiu groggily followed Li Guanshi out of the room.

Looking up, indeed, a mass of oppressive thunderclouds was hovering overhead.

The thunderclouds were so dark they were almost black, but around the edges, they emitted a chilling blue-purple color. Inside, lightning flickered incessantly, like countless silver snakes writhing madly.

The surrounding air seemed to tremble under this oppressive force, emitting a faint, deep humming.

The other people in the manor were also awakened by the noise and came to investigate.

Jiang Que was the first to arrive at the courtyard.

The young girl looked up at the terrifying storm clouds and asked Xiao Lingqiu, who was standing outside, in a delicate voice: "What’s happening? Where is Jiang Mo?"

Xiao Lingqiu was about to speak when she suddenly saw a woman in a black dress silently appear on the roof opposite, her cold eyes fixed on the small house behind her, the hem of her dress fluttering.

Immediately afterward, several other women appeared in succession.

Whoosh whoosh!

Two Yin Yang Small Swords, trailing golden light, darted toward the door, but were intercepted by Li Guanshi with a wave of his hand.

"Everyone’s here, how lively."

Li Guanshi said with a smile.

As he spoke, the woman flicked her slender wrist lightly.

The River Map Twin Swords, which had been struggling to break free, immediately went limp, caught obediently in the woman’s hand.

The other women were equally surprised to see Li Guanshi.

"What are you doing here?"

Luo Wanqing asked.

Li Guanshi smiled slightly: "Saving someone."

Luo Wanqing’s gaze lingered slightly on Xiao Lingqiu, as if appraising a fine piece of porcelain, with a look of curiosity and amusement.

Then, her lively eyes turned gently to the tightly closed door.

"Don’t tell me Jiang Mo is really in there."

"Of course he’s here."

Li Guanshi gracefully stepped back a pace to stand in front of the door, "But he can’t come out yet. If anyone tries to force their way in, I will be very angry."

The last sentence was clearly directed at Ran Qingchen.

"Why?"

Luo Wanqing was very curious.

Li Guanshi didn’t hide anything, pointing at the thundercloud and explaining the situation simply, saying calmly:

"In short, Jiang Mo must undergo Dual Cultivation with the Snake Demon now, and if it’s interrupted, or if he can’t survive the Heavenly Tribulation, he will surely die. So, I ask you all to help hold off the tribulation. After all, the power of the Heavenly Dao is difficult for me to withstand alone."

Hearing this, the expressions of the women present became strange.

To guard here and help Jiang Mo to overcome the tribulation, so he could be at ease in Dual Cultivation with another woman?

This is too shameless.

Ran Qingchen clenched her fists, her face as dark as ink, auras of hostility surging around her.

"If he gets struck dead by lightning, he deserves it!"

Ran Qingchen’s words were coldly squeezed out through clenched teeth like icy blades, each word carrying a biting chill, "You want me to help fend off the Heavenly Tribulation, do you think that’s possible? Hmph! I really hope God strikes a few more times, so he can’t even reincarnate in his next life!"

"Miss, why not save the young master-in-law?"

Jinxiu, eyes brimming with tears, looked at Ran Qingchen pleadingly.

Jinxiu, who grew up with Ran Qingchen, understood her mind the best; if the young master-in-law was really struck dead by lightning, though the young miss wouldn’t say anything, she would surely be deeply pained in her heart.

Qu Hongling, although sad, couldn’t just watch her Jiang get killed by lightning, also persuaded:

"Ran, it’s all my fault, it has nothing to do with Jiang. Why not help him through this tribulation, and we can sit down and talk later..."

"Impossible!"

Ran Qingchen, looking frosty, stared at the tightly shut door, "I’ll just stand here and watch him get struck by lightning!"

After a pause, she added: "I advise you not to do something foolish, you’re a demon, the one who should avoid provoking the Heavenly Tribulation, else you’ll provoke Heavenly wrath. By then, don’t get yourself obliterated."

Ran Qingchen wasn’t bluffing.

Since ancient times, demons have ultimately remained demons, rejected by the Heavenly Dao.

This is why many demons go to great lengths to transform into humans.

Qu Hongling wanted to speak, but stopped, sighing helplessly.

The young girl looked up at the terrifying thunderclouds with determination in her eyes: "No matter what, I will save Jiang."

Li Guanshi glanced at the women, smiling: "So... who else wants to help?"

Dugu Luoxue gathered her energy and stepped forward.

Among the women present, she didn’t have too many complicated thoughts; she was definitely going to wholeheartedly save Jiang Mo.

Jiang Que muttered, sullenly saying:

"After I help Jiang Mo through this ordeal, I will personally kill that stinking Snake Demon inside! So shameless, undergoing tribulation and dragging others into it!"

But remembering the time when Jiang Mo escorted her, with Mengniang accompanying, the girl’s resentment diminished slightly.

Jinxiu hadn’t practiced much, so she couldn’t be of much help.

Moreover, with Ran Qingchen beside her, the young girl didn’t dare to act rashly.

As for Calm, though wanting to help, due to the absence of the Magic Treasure, the Cactus, and her low cultivation, she couldn’t be of much assistance, merely staying aside and praying.

Meanwhile, the Empress Luo Wanqing hesitated at first.

But then she remembered the Karma Line binding her and Jiang Mo, cursing inwardly: "I’ve really been indebted to this bastard, this debt must be settled in the future one way or another."

As for how to settle it, Luo Wanqing hadn’t yet figured it out.

At worst, let him fill up a few more times.

Li Guanshi saw the women had made their decisions and turned to Jiang Que and Xiao Lingqiu, saying:

"Your cultivation techniques are special, forcefully resisting the Heavenly Tribulation might have adverse effects, I hope you two serve as protectors outside, preventing outsiders from disturbing here."
