173: Chapter 173 Madam, you didn't want this either!
Hearing the disdainful words of the woman before them, the pale faces of the middle-aged man in white and the middle-aged man in black turned livid once more.
Yet, they were unable to resist.
In the Cultivation World, the strong are respected; this bit of humiliation was nothing!
That's right, it's nothing. Only by staying alive can one speak of anything else!
The two exchanged a glance, then turned into streaks of light and headed toward the coastline.
The woman in the pale blue gauze dress watched them leave, her dark eyebrows furrowed tightly.
The memories in their minds regarding Xu Que and Chen Xu were naturally also known to her.
Could it be that the culprits who captured the citizens of the Sea God Palace are those two humans?
"Selina, expand the search area. You must find these two humans for me."
As the woman in the pale blue gauze dress spoke, she waved her arm, and the figures of Xu Que and Chen Xu appeared in the void.
"Yes, Division Chief."
Selina and the other five responded respectfully, then turned and headed into the distance to search.
The woman in the pale blue gauze dress stood dazed for a moment, then her figure turned into a streak of light and headed deep into the Endless Sea.
On the other side.
After moving far away, the middle-aged man in white and the middle-aged man in black stood in the void.
These two were none other than the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Chen Shimei, and the Sect Master of the Yellow Spring Sect, Ye Wushe.
"We are just too unlucky. We barely traveled any distance and already encountered such a terrifying powerhouse!"
"Brother Shimei, since the situation is beyond our control, rather than throwing our lives away, we might as well go back and cultivate diligently!"
"Sigh!"
Ye Wushe sighed, his mood sinking.
Although he was a top-tier powerhouse in the Yunhuang Continent, once he left the Yunhuang Continent, he realized that being at the half-step Lianxu Realm... was still too weak!
"Sigh, that's all we can do. I hope Xu'er is safe and sound!"
Chen Shimei also helplessly turned his head to look deep into the Endless Sea.
Immediately after, the two turned into streaks of light and headed toward the shore.
...
Meanwhile.
Spirit Spring Space Small World.
By the azure ocean, Jin Liuli, Ming Yingluo, and Ye Lingge stood on the yellowish beach, staring at the sea with wide, dumbfounded eyes.
They saw creature after creature appear out of thin air and fall into the azure ocean.
After an unknown amount of time, the surface of the sea finally quieted down.
"What is going on? Could it be that mastermind behind the scenes?"
After Ming Yingluo finished speaking, she turned to look at Ye Lingge and Jin Liuli.
"Liuli, Lingge, what... what's wrong with you two?"
Seeing the two appearing as if they had been hit by an Immobilization Technique, Ming Yingluo was immediately alarmed.
Could it be... could it be that the culprit has arrived?
"Who is it? Since you brought us here, why hide your head and show your tail? Come out, come out!"
Ming Yingluo looked around and shouted angrily.
"Hehe, is Madam so anxious to see me, Xu?"
A man's voice suddenly rang out, and immediately after, a young man in white appeared before Ming Yingluo.
"Thump, thump, thump~"
"Bang~ bang~"
Ming Yingluo retreated several steps, actually knocking the motionless Jin Liuli and Ye Lingge onto the yellowish sand.
"You... who exactly are you? Why did you bring us here?"
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Xu Que, the owner of this Small World, and of course, your future husband!"
As Xu Que spoke, he walked to Ming Yingluo's side and looked down at the exquisite, baby-faced woman before him.
"You... you lecher, who is your woman? Please don't talk nonsense."
"Hehe!"
...
One hour later.
Ming Yingluo turned her head to look at Ye Lingge and Jin Liuli, who were still frozen by the Immobilization Technique, and tears rolled down silently.
Lingge, wuwuwu!
"Yingluo, don't be sad anymore. From now on, you will be my, Xu Que's, wife. Just live well in this world! Don't think about the past anymore!"
"Xu Que, you... you are a devil, wuwuwu..."
Seeing Ming Yingluo's heartbroken sobbing, Xu Que gave a sheepish smile.
Indeed, he also felt that he seemed to be getting worse and worse now!
He didn't understand how he had become like this!
However, he quite liked his current personality!
Selfish? Bad? It didn't matter!
...
In the blink of an eye, another two hours passed in a rush.
Ming Yingluo dragged her exhausted body, jumped into the seawater, cleaned herself up briefly, and then returned to the shore.
Just as she finished putting on her clothes and skirt, Jin Liuli and Ye Lingge, who were lying nearby, let out a soft moan and suddenly sat up from the sandy ground.
"How... how did it get dark?"
"Wait, no, why are we lying on the ground?"
Looking at the two puzzled and confused women, Ming Yingluo didn't know how to speak for a moment.
"Mother, what happened? Did that culprit appear?"
"Yingluo, did you see that culprit?"
Ming Yingluo took a deep breath and also feigned confusion, saying: "I am the same as you; I just regained consciousness, and I don't know what happened either!"
"However, you two just now looked exactly the same as how Liuli and I did when we first appeared in this place!"
"This... what exactly does that mastermind behind the scenes want to do?"
Jin Liuli and Ye Lingge did not suspect Ming Yingluo, but instead looked at the sea with furrowed brows, their faces full of confusion.
Scenes of what happened before couldn't help but surface in Ming Yingluo's mind!
...
The next day.
At the foot of Daqing Mountain, on the third floor of the Yihong Brothel, on a wooden bed surrounded by red gauze curtains, Chen Xu woke up groggily.
It felt as if something was pressing on his legs.
Not right!
Chen Xu was startled and looked sharply to his left and right.
He saw Bodo Jiyi and another woman lying by his sides.
"I... how could I do something that betrays Ruyan? No... no..."
Chen Xu sat up abruptly, muttering to himself, his eyes filled with terror and regret. His mind was a blank, with only deep self-reproach drowning him like a surging tide.
"Brother Xu, what's wrong?"
"Brother Xu, did we not serve you well last night?"
The voices of Bodo Jiyi and Wu Tenglan suddenly rang out.
Immediately after, Bodo Jiyi's arm climbed onto Chen Xu's shoulder.
"Get away, all of you, get away!"
Chen Xu violently shook off the arms of Wu Tenglan and Bodo Jiyi, threw his robe on haphazardly, and stumbled out of the room.
At the same time.
Xu Que's figure appeared once again in the place where he had originally disappeared.
"Plop~"
His figure fell straight into the seawater.
