Chapter 149: Isn’t This Miss Su Ying?

A slender figure, a form-fitting dress, and a purple longsword in hand.

The giant spider had been sliced into two, its remains a pixelated mess. Green spider blood splattered across the floor, yet not a single drop stained the elder sister standing before them.

Looking at the elder sister standing in front of her, Zhu Ling’s eyes sparkled with admiration.

Zhu Ling recognized her; she had seen this sister when they first entered the Secret Realm.

She was Jiang Qingshang, the world’s number one Genius after that Big Bad Guy Lin Xun!

Jiang Qingshang turned around and cut the silk threads binding Zhu Ling and Jiang Nongqin.

Jiang Qingshang had also just been teleported here, and upon arrival, she saw Zhu Ling and Jiang Nongqin trapped.

She wasn’t particularly curious about Zhu Ling’s presence here.

However, seeing Jiang Nongqin did surprise her a bit.

Jiang Qingshang knew Jiang Nongqin was a Cultivator. Since she lived next door, Jiang Qingshang had initially worried she might pose a danger to her husband, so she had specifically investigated her background.

Later, Jiang Qingshang discovered that Jiang Nongqin was from the Ten Thousand Demon Sect. However, people in the Ten Thousand Demon Sect were diverse and couldn’t all be judged the same way.

Furthermore, Jiang Qingshang found out that Jiang Nongqin had come to the Mortal World for experience and hadn’t harmed anyone over the years.

Besides, her husband was indeed just an ordinary person. It was impossible that Jiang Nongqin had taken a liking to him and wanted to kidnap him to be her husband, right?

Thus, Jiang Qingshang simply kept a cautious eye on her.

As they gradually became closer, Jiang Qingshang grew certain that she was a very good and kind girl, and definitely not the type to fake it.

Ultimately, her investigation revealed that she was Demon Son Lin Xun’s woman, specifically serving him within the Ten Thousand Demon Sect. After Lin Xun disappeared, Su Ying had sent her to Luo City for protection, which allowed Jiang Qingshang to fully relax.

In short, although Jiang Nongqin belonged to the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, her usual duties were serving Lin Xun. Aside from taking care of his daily life, she spent her time playing the zither and cultivating—essentially a bed-warming maid. She had come to Luo City to avoid harassment from others in the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.

Since she hadn’t done anything bad and was Lin Xun’s person, it was impossible for her to like Jiang Qingshang’s husband. Therefore, there was no problem.

However, Jiang Qingshang hadn’t expected Sister Nongqin to actually come to the Heiwu Secret Realm.

Was this Su Ying’s order?

Sending a woman with such poor combat skills to a place like the Heiwu Secret Realm—what was Su Ying thinking?

Was she sending her to her death?

“How are you? Are you hurt?”

Putting her thoughts aside, Jiang Qingshang sheathed her longsword and asked them.

“No… no. Thank you, Sister Qingshang.” Zhu Ling looked at Jiang Qingshang with pure adoration, her eyes blinking rapidly.

Is this the number one beauty under heaven? She is truly too beautiful!

Even though Sister Wang Xing and Sister Nongqin were both very beautiful, Sister Qingshang gave off a feeling of clear skies after rain—a sense of pure rain and rainbow-colored garments.

Especially Sister Qingshang’s pair of clear and enchanting peach blossom eyes; they were seductive yet made one afraid to approach, soul-stirring yet preventing any wicked thoughts from arising.

In short! She was just too beautiful! And her strength was so formidable! Her figure was perfect too!

If I were as beautiful and strong as Sister Qingshang, would I be able to pin that Big Bad Guy down and bully him, hitting his bottom with a small twig?

“Thank you, Miss Jiang.”

Jiang Nongqin also offered her thanks, though her eyes still held caution and even a hint of hostility.

After all, she was from the Ten Thousand Demon Sect while the other was the Saintess of the Zilin Holy Land—righteousness and evil were irreconcilable. Furthermore, Old Man Tianji had said this woman would suppress His Highness in a hundred years.

I will definitely protect His Highness!

“And this is…” Jiang Qingshang pretended not to know Jiang Nongqin.

“Sister Qingshang, Sister Nongqin is my friend. She’s not a bad person.”

Snapping out of her fangirl state, Zhu Ling quickly hugged Jiang Nongqin’s arm to defend her.

Sister Nongqin was from the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, and rumor had it that Sister Qingshang hated evil like an enemy and was decisive in her killings. What would happen if something happened to Sister Nongqin?

Even if everyone in the Ten Thousand Demon Sect was a bad person (led by that Big Bad Guy Lin Xun), Sister Nongqin was definitely a good person (the only one).

It was just that Sister Nongqin actually liked that Big Bad Guy; it was simply not worth it.

“I see.”

Hearing Zhu Ling’s explanation, Jiang Qingshang simply nodded and didn’t ask further.

“Follow me, and be careful not to get lost.”

Jiang Qingshang tossed the zilin immortal sword into the air, and the sword led the way, guiding them forward.

Even though she had been randomly teleported again, the zilin immortal sword told her that her Master was right here!

“Sister Qingshang.” Zhu Ling jogged forward. “There’s something Zhu Ling needs to tell Sister Qingshang.”

“Oh? What is it?”

“A Big Bad Guy… no, no…”

Although Zhu Ling was a bit silly, she knew she couldn’t reveal that Big Bad Guy’s identity, or it would cause trouble for him.

“A Cultivator saved us. Although he’s very fierce, he’s a good person… I think. He said that your Holy Land’s Vice Holy Lord Fang Jianqiu is collaborating with the Great Joy Temple and plans to betray Sister Qingshang.”

“My, my, my… isn’t this Miss Su Ying? What a coincidence.”

The vertical-pupiled snake-demon girl smiled with curved eyes. Dressed as a man, she possessed a neutral, refreshing beauty that would make any girl’s heart flutter.

“It certainly is a coincidence.”

The girl with cherry-pink hair gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, her smile unchanging.

Su Ying and She Qiqi had crossed paths before and fought. At that time, the Immortal Realm assassin had sensed his Master was in danger, and that was why.

However, neither of them had personally made a move; it was their subordinates who were fighting.

She Qiqi thought she was going to win until the other side’s Immortal Realm assassin rushed back.

Su Ying thought she was going to win until the other side revealed a hidden, invulnerable gorilla follower.

Since neither could overcome the other, they had initially retreated.

After retreating, although both girls appeared calm on the surface, they were extremely competitive at heart.

Of course, the main reason was that both Su Ying and She Qiqi felt that if the other lived, they would become a major threat and had to be eliminated early.

Thus, while both seemed to be outrunning the poison, they were actually clashing in secret.

Until just now, when they clashed again, the Secret Realm’s positions shifted once more.

Now, all their subordinates had been teleported away, leaving the two of them teleported together.

“By the way, I kept forgetting to tell Miss Su Ying.” She Qiqi opened her paper fan. “Earlier, this Princess encountered Miss Su Ying’s Senior Brother.”

“Oh?” Su Ying’s eyes curved.

“Yes.” She Qiqi also smiled. “Brother Lin is truly worthy of being the number one person in the Myriad Laws World. Miss Su Ying’s Senior Brother is truly wonderful~”

“Oh?” Su Ying’s smile remained, but compared to before, it was chillingly cold.
