Chapter 831: Chapter 405: Negotiations from the Past Life_2

"I will never forgive him for the rest of my life, nor is it possible to mend this broken relationship! For men like him, only you people might treasure, but I couldn’t care less."

Ran Qingchen waved her long sleeve, stepped lightly, and walked straight down the steps that appeared out of thin air.

Her attire fluttered, exuding a demeanor of cold arrogance.

Qu Hongling hurriedly followed with quick steps, cautiously asking in a low voice, "Ran, do you mean that you intend to completely give up the position of the first wife?"

"What basis..."

Ran Qingchen almost instinctively opened her mouth to retort, but just as the words reached her lips, she forcefully stopped them. After a moment of silence, she coldly said, "Whoever wants it can have it!"

Qu Hongling sighed softly and said helplessly, "It seems that it can only be Empress Luo."

Ran Qingchen snorted coldly through her nose, "Does a widow even have the face to vie for it?"

"Then it’s Jiang Que."

"That little girl hasn’t even grown any hair; how does she have the face to snatch a man!"

"Jinxiu then?"

"She’s my maid; I forbid it, what courage does she have to marry?"

"Xia He or Miss Qiuye?"

"They are used to being guards for my aunt, even being a concubine is their blessing!"

"Uh, Li Guanshi... Forget it, this woman is aiming high. Then it can only be Mengniang. No, no, Mengniang is still a demon, like me, not suitable."

Qu Hongling scratched her head in distress, muttering, "Ran, thinking it over, it seems that only you are the most suitable for that first wife position."

Listening to Qu Hongling’s analysis, Ran Qingchen’s pretty lips slightly curled up, but she still forced a stiff, cold expression on her beautiful face, saying blandly:

"I have long said that I’m not interested in this at all, Jiang Mo can choose whomever he likes, it’s his choice, nothing to do with me."

Qu Hongling chuckled, blinked her bright eyes, and said playfully, "Of course, it’s you, Jiang loves you the most, isn’t it obvious?"

Ran Qingchen suddenly stopped in her tracks.

She slowly turned around, quietly gazing at the young girl before her who was vigorously trying to match her up with Jiang Mo, a hint of inquiry in her eyes, and asked softly:

"Qu Hongling, aren’t you even a bit sad?"

"Sad about what?"

Qu Hongling tilted her head slightly, her eyes full of confusion.

Seeing Ran Qingchen staring at her persistently, silent, Qu Hongling’s initially brilliant smile gradually faded.

She opened her arms and waved them powerlessly, as if trying to dispel those troubles and disappointments, then sighed lightly:

"What’s the use of being sad? Anyway, everything has developed to the current state.

Back then, I clearly had the chance to have Jiang all to myself, to be the only one in his eyes, but I was so foolish as to give it up."

Qu Hongling raised her head and gazed somewhat blankly into the distance, her voice slightly hoarse:

"So now, this situation is all my own doing, I can’t blame anyone else. Miss Ye was right, once lost, love can never be recovered.

Being able to reunite with Jiang now is something I once didn’t even dare to dream, let alone hope for."

The girl took a deep breath, her smile bright once more:

"People should understand to find joy in being content, maybe only then can one experience the taste of happiness."

Ran Qingchen listened quietly, seeming to gain some insight, her expression somewhat stunned.

She raised her hand and gently wiped away a tear that had unknowingly stained the girl’s face, softly saying:

"If he ever dares to let you down, I will not spare him lightly, and I will take his life!"

Qu Hongling smiled radiantly, "If you really wish to help me, why not stay by Jiang’s side? In this way, Jiang wouldn’t dare bully me casually, and you can constantly keep an eye on him, isn’t it killing two birds with one stone?"

Ran Qingchen’s face turned cold, and she snorted, "You little girl, trying to trick me again!"

The woman turned around and continued down the winding staircase, her garment fluttering in the wind, as if carrying a sense of determination.

Qu Hongling quickly caught up:

"Ran, what I’m saying is heartfelt, not a bit of falsehood. Look at the current situation, only you can suppress Jiang’s temperament. Otherwise, even his Master Luoxue might dare to have improper thoughts."

Ran Qingchen seemed oblivious, lips tightly pressed, saying not a word.

Soon, the two women arrived at the bottom of the staircase.

However, this place did not truly reach the abyss’s bottom, but was rather halfway.

Halfway there lay a mountain cave.

Mist swirled at the cave’s entrance, exuding a refreshing coolness.

"An exit?"

Ran Qingchen’s beautiful eyes moved, looking at Qu Hongling.

Qu Hongling shook her head: "I told you, I don’t know where the exit is, I’m really not lying to you. Inside lies the Nether Spring, and I only stumbled upon it by chance and took quite a bit of Netherworld Demon Qi."

Ran Qingchen said no more and entered the cave.

Sure enough, inside the cave lay a pool, quietly resting.

The water was incredibly clear, like a giant mirror, with smooth, round pebbles visible below.

Ran Qingchen curiously reached out and touched the pool wall, discovering the water had a faint warmth.

She carefully searched other areas but found no mechanism or hidden passage.

"What are you doing?"

Focused on searching for an exit, Ran Qingchen suddenly heard the slight sound of clothing rustling from behind and turned to see Qu Hongling untying her clothing straps.

"Taking a bath."

Qu Hongling responded unconcernedly, swiftly removing her dress, revealing her alluring, curvaceous figure.

The young woman tidied her hanging strands of hair, saying: "At Water Moon Manor, I hardly had a proper bath, felt really uncomfortable."

Qu Hongling stepped into the pool, allowing the warm waters to envelop her delicate body, humming contentedly. Then, she beckoned to Ran Qingchen, who still stood by the pool:

"Ran, come and join me. I’m telling you, this pool is so comfortable to soak in. When I came here last, I wished I could take this entire pool to the Sky Demon Sect."

Ran Qingchen turned her head aside, saying lightly: "You go ahead, I don’t have such leisure."

Half incense later, Ran Qingchen was soaking comfortably in the pool.

Admittedly, this pool was extremely pleasant to soak in, as if able to dispel all fatigue, and Ran Qingchen’s mood relaxed significantly.

Not sure if her body was overly tired from recent days or if the pool had a unique nourishing effect, she felt her mind seemed detached from her body’s control, becoming vague and ethereal.

Amidst this haze, a strange yet somewhat familiar memory drifted into her mind like a wisp of smoke.

In a majestic, grand palace, a dragon throne stood high above.

But the person seated on the dragon throne was hidden in shadows. One could only faintly sense the intimidating aura emanating from the shadows.

Beside the dragon throne, a beautiful woman with a sultry posture lazily leaned there.

Behind the woman, nine fluffy tails swayed gently like agile ribbons, carrying an unspeakable seductive force, captivating the heart.

"Shura, do you agree to my terms?"

The emperor on the dragon throne slowly spoke, his voice deep and imposing.

Seeing the silent Asura Queen, the emperor, whom Zhuge Xuanji called the only Human Emperor, paused for a moment before slowly continuing: "You go to annihilate the Demon Clan, and I will destroy the Immortal Realm; then the demon territory will be under your control."

The Asura Queen said indifferently: "You should understand, the most pressing issue now is the Red Demon."

After a long silence, the emperor said calmly: "The Red Demon... was summoned by me. I have a way to kill her; you need not concern yourself."
