Chapter 161: This Is Deadly
Returning to Yu Lang Xuan, Qian Renxue and Zhu Zhuqing had already woken up. The two didn’t know what they were chatting about, but they seemed quite happy.
During this time, Qian Renxue had instilled many techniques for messing with Ling Mo into Zhu Zhuqing. Ling Mo had a kind of ominous premonition.
When it came to means of messing with people, Qian Renxue was absolutely the king in this aspect. Hadn’t she toyed with the entire Heaven Dou Empire until it spun in circles?
“What are you two chatting about?”
Ling Mo walked to the bedside, just about to sit down, when he was directly kicked out by Qian Renxue.
“Damn it, why’d you kick me…”
Ling Mo looked completely baffled. Had this woman taken the wrong medicine?
“I like kicking. Got a problem with that?”
Qian Renxue said amusedly.
“Fuck! Looks like I need to make you two know whose house this is…”
Ling Mo got furious as soon as he heard that. In this house, his status was getting lower and lower.
“You dare!”
Zhu Zhuqing flung a cold remark, and Ling Mo immediately deflated…
“I say, girl, how’d you end up on her side? It’s only been this short time…”
Very depressed. This wasn’t the plot he had directed himself.
“Hee hee, you mind your own business!”
Zhu Zhuqing said slyly with a smile.
Truth be told, Ling Mo wasn’t afraid of anyone except Zhu Zhuqing! Maybe because he owed her too much, so… as long as she spoke up, Ling Mo wouldn’t refuse.
Just like this time, as soon as she said to buy all those people, Ling Mo bought them without a word.
“Right! Where’d you go just now? Were you secretly meeting some other woman again?”
“What kind of talk is that? Besides doing these things, don’t I have anything else to do?”
Ling Mo shrugged his hands and shamelessly walked over.
Smack…
Without any politeness, Qian Renxue directly slapped his hand away.
“What else do you have to do? When I came yesterday, I saw quite a few beauties appear on that hill over there. Did you really buy back all those people from the auction house?”
Qian Renxue had a bit of a headache. She knew those people very well—they were all soulless robots. What did Ling Mo buy them back for?
“Sister, that was me who told him to buy them…”
Zhu Zhuqing slowly stood up. Phoenix Cloud Colorful Clothes turned into a ball of light that directly covered her body. Under Qian Renxue’s surprised gaze, it took on a perfect form.
After putting on the clothes, she walked to the dressing table and fiddled with something.
“What magical clothes!”
Qian Renxue was also stunned. To think there were such magical clothes—it was truly unbelievable.
“Like it? Call me husband, and I’ll make one for you too…”
As soon as Ling Mo saw her fascinated look, he immediately understood: opportunity had come.
“Get lost! Stinky pervert, I don’t want it…”
Qian Renxue directly pushed Ling Mo away and carefully examined Zhu Zhuqing’s clothes for a bit. She was indeed quite tempted, but she wouldn’t admit it.
Hearing that it was Zhu Zhuqing who had told Ling Mo to buy back those people, Qian Renxue didn’t say anything more.
After one night of getting to know her, she already understood what kind of person Zhu Zhuqing was.
A very kind girl who hadn’t experienced this treacherous world. Making such a decision was perfectly normal.
In the past, she had also had thoughts like Zhu Zhuqing’s, but… as things gradually evolved later, that mindset of hers had mostly been worn away.
“So, what do you plan to do with them next?”
Since they had been bought back, they needed to be properly settled. As the sect master of Ghost Gate, with Ling Mo here, Qian Renxue already regarded this place as her second home, so there were some things she had to ask about.
“What else can be done? First try to slowly change their mindsets, cultivate them gradually. In the future, they’ll definitely be decent combat power…”
Actually, Ling Mo wasn’t holding out much hope, but he still had a bit of wishful thinking.
“Right! That old fellow Xue Xing didn’t cause you any trouble yesterday, did he?”
Qian Renxue suddenly remembered another matter. She was familiar with Xue Xing’s personality—he couldn’t possibly have made no moves at all, right?
“He wanted to, but unfortunately… after chasing to the mountain gate, they didn’t dare come up…”
“Heh, makes sense! That old fellow is very shrewd! These years, I’ve been watching him and discovered he’s secretly assembled quite a few armies under his command.
I originally wanted to get rid of him, but unfortunately… his position is too sensitive. If something happened to him with no one to replace him, it might cause a mutiny next.
Plus, my identity might be exposed, so I’ve been keeping that old life of his around.
Maybe… he’s still rejoicing now, thinking he can hide from my sight and continue supporting that foolish prince from behind the scenes…”
Qian Renxue’s face showed a cold expression.
As soon as she said this, Ling Mo was stunned for a moment. He had originally thought Qian Renxue didn’t know about these things, but unexpectedly, she had seen through Xue Xing’s ambition long ago.
“I didn’t expect you to observe so carefully. I was originally going to tell you to watch out for that Xue Beng, but unexpectedly you already discovered something off about him…”
Ling Mo thought about it and felt scared. This woman was too shrewd. If she weren’t his woman now and they were on opposing sides, he might have been done in by her.
When it came to political maneuvering, she was absolutely the king in this aspect— even Ling Mo felt inferior.
The reason he knew about this Xue Beng was completely due to the influence of the original work, with foresight.
And Qian Renxue, as a native, had observed so meticulously—it was truly terrifying.
“So, you thought I was too naive?”
Qian Renxue gave Ling Mo a meaningful look, scaring him into a shiver.
“No no, absolutely not. Which bastard is spreading rumors about me…”
Ling Mo hurriedly shook his head, not daring to talk back to her anymore. If he made her unhappy, who knows when she might scheme against him.
“What are you two discussing?”
Zhu Zhuqing walked over from behind, clueless.
“Nothing much. We’re discussing how nice your clothes look. Sister, I’m so envious…”
Qian Renxue said enviously.
“If you like it, you can have him make one for you…”
Zhu Zhuqing replied seriously. The two women’s gazes turned to Ling Mo.
“Hee hee, Xue’er, if you like it, I’ll make one for you in a couple days. It doesn’t cost much anyway…”
Ling Mo hurriedly patted his chest in promise. With his current materials for Phoenix Cloud Colorful Clothes, he could make plenty without worry.
“You’d be so generous?” Qian Renxue looked at Ling Mo skeptically.
“What’s the big deal? It’s just a piece of clothing! No biggie! Wait and see, it’ll be done in a couple days…”
Ling Mo was also depressed at being underestimated.
“Hee hee, then I’ll wait and see…”
Qian Renxue really liked these clothes. Seeing Ling Mo’s promise, she smiled satisfied.
