Chapter 115: If It Were Wang Xing
by AshPurgatory2025“Sister Wangxing, is it? You really are quite beautiful, little sister. I don’t think you’re any less stunning than Fairy Jiang.”
Su Ying walked toward Sikong Wangxing. The Tianji City Elders behind Sikong Wangxing moved to block her, while the Death Warriors behind Su Ying also opened their eyes and stepped forward.
“Stand down. Sister Wangxing and I are just having a chat.”
Su Ying spoke indifferently. The four Death Warriors—three in the Jade Purity Realm and one in the Immortal Realm—bowed their heads and retreated, showing none of the dignity expected of Jade Purity Realm powerhouses, appearing as mere attendants.
Yet, the more it was like this, the more it demonstrated how terrifying Su Ying was.
“It’s alright.”
Biting her thin, pale lips, the girl, whose health was poor and whose face was sickly pale, told the Elder grandfathers behind her not to be nervous.
Walking up to Sikong Wangxing, Su Ying stood less than half a body’s length from the frail girl, her cherry-pink eyes looking at Sikong Wangxing “tenderly” as she scrutinized her.
“Hmm, Sister Sikong’s health isn’t great, but a girl like this is even more pitiable. I suspect no man would have the heart to let Sister Wangxing suffer even the slightest harm.”
“If my silly Senior Brother really were to marry you, he would likely cherish you in the palm of his hand.”
Hearing Su Ying’s words, Sikong Wangxing bit her red lips, a flash of surprise crossing her eyes.
This Su Ying knew about her engagement to Lin Xun.
Then she thought about the rumors she’d heard in Tianji City—that Lin Xun and Su Ying of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect were Dao Companions, deeply in love, and only lacking a formal title. There were even rumors that Lin Xun had said, ‘When I return from Harmonizing with the World, I will marry you.’
The young girl’s small heart throbbed with a faint ache.
Was the reason Lin Xun sent someone to break off the engagement because of this girl before her, who was like a cherry blossom?
She really is beautiful, and unlike her own frail self, she has a healthy body… Could she be the interloper?
But there were the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers. Her engagement to Lin Xun existed before Su Ying joined the Ten Thousand Demon Sect; clearly, she had come first.
It was clearly he who had the prior engagement with her!
Even though he was engaged to her, he had fallen for another woman and abandoned her.
At this thought, Sikong Wangxing’s eyes misted over, as if she were about to burst into tears at any moment.
The girl’s sudden sorrow left the surrounding Elders bewildered.
Especially the Elders of Tianji City; Su Ying had only said, ‘If Lin Xun marries Wang Xing,’ and hadn’t seemed to say much else, right? Why was their Young Lord crying?
But regardless, their Young Lord had been bullied to the point of tears; they certainly couldn’t tolerate it! This was a slap to the face of Tianji City!
Thus, the Elders of Tianji City all stepped forward. Simultaneously, the Death Warriors behind Su Ying advanced again, looking as if a fight would break out at any second.
“Su Ying! Say one more word, and I’ll cut your tongue out!”
Jiang Qingshang stepped forward and pulled Wang Xing into her embrace.
“Tell Lin Xun to never even think about Wang Xing for the rest of his life, or I’ll cut off all three of his legs!”
“Fairy Jiang’s words are truly frightening.”
Facing the threat, Su Ying’s eyes curved into a smile.
“I wonder if Fairy Jiang has misunderstood something? For Sister Wangxing to want to marry Su Ying’s Senior Brother, she must be dreaming.”
Su Ying tilted her head.
“Senior Brother Lin is mine. No woman should even think about approaching him, whether there’s an engagement or not. Don’t harbor any designs on Senior Brother Lin.”
In fact, I feel lucky for Sister Wangxing.
“If Sister Wangxing really, really, truly, truly married my Senior Brother, then I don’t know what I might do.”
Su Ying narrowed her cherry-pink eyes, looking at Sikong Wangxing with a “kind” expression. “Or perhaps, Sister Wangxing would find life worse than death.”
*Boom!*
Purple Mist Sword Qi lunged toward Su Ying!
The Sword Qi passed completely through Su Ying’s body.
But in the next instant, the Su Ying before them transformed into a thousand petals of cherry blossoms and scattered.
A moment later, the cherry blossoms condensed into a long spear, thrusting toward the back of Jiang Qingshang’s heart.
*Clang!*
An invisible strand of Sword Qi actually transformed into a tangible purple longsword.
The tip of the sword met the tip of the spear, and Sword Qi and cherry-colored spiritual power swept outward.
The incomparably sharp Sword Qi and violent spiritual power caused the hearts of all the Elders present to tighten; the sword’s glow felt as if it were piercing their own necks.
The cherry-colored spiritual energy even formed a Spiritual Pressure that weighed on their hearts, making it so heavy they could hardly breathe.
At this moment, all the Jade Purity Realm Cultivators felt as if their Realm was made of paper; it was as if their Jade Purity Realm status was fake when facing Su Ying and Jiang Qingshang.
What was even more terrifying was how old Jiang Qingshang and Su Ying were.
What exactly has been happening in recent decades? How could such monstrous geniuses appear!
A thousand petals condensed once more, then scattered as Su Ying stood before Jiang Qingshang completely unharmed.
“As expected of the world’s number one kendo Genius.”
Su Ying seemed to have a smile on her face no matter the time; no one could read anything from her expression.
And her smile was beautiful, like the most brilliant cherry blossoms in the world, one that one could never tire of seeing.
“Rumor has it that Old Man Tianji said Senior Brother Lin would eventually be subdued by Fairy Jiang. I was thinking, if I were to throw Fairy Jiang before Senior Brother Lin all tied up, he would probably praise me.”
“Heh, you’re welcome to try,” Jiang Qingshang said coldly.
Su Ying didn’t respond to Jiang Qingshang but continued to look at the frail Sikong Wangxing.
“Some agreements are just the casual whims of old men, made without thinking, or perhaps because the right person hadn’t appeared yet.”
“If the right person appears, the old man’s agreement naturally becomes void. Don’t you think so, Sister Wangxing?”
“I believe Sister Wangxing also finds the old man’s private agreement to be utterly absurd.”
Wang Xing knew that the “agreement” Su Ying spoke of referred to the “engagement,” and the “right person” was “Su Ying herself.”
Su Ying wanted her to give up on the so-called marriage; after all, it was impossible for the righteous and demonic paths to be together.
In fact, Su Ying felt that Wang Xing must have grown tired of the engagement long ago. After all, being married to a “bloodthirsty” Demonic Seed would likely cause any delicate young girl to break down.
So, Su Ying had another purpose for coming to the Heiwu Secret Realm: to sever the Karma between Wang Xing and Senior Brother Lin!
As long as Sikong Wangxing gave up on the engagement in her heart, then later, after she coaxed her silly Senior Brother a bit, the marriage Karma between them would be severed. Besides, her Senior Brother didn’t seem to like this engagement anyway.
Su Ying believed Wang Xing would agree immediately.
But she hadn’t expected…
“Wang Xing doesn’t think so!”
Sikong Wangxing stepped out of Jiang Qingshang’s embrace. Though the girl was frail and delicate, her eyes held a rare tenacity.
“An agreement is an agreement! If the other party wants to break it, then they must come and say so themselves!”
“Otherwise!”
“If it were Wang Xing, Wang Xing would keep the agreement for a lifetime!”
