190: Not good looking, not good looking at all

“…”

Lin Xuan was utterly devastated.

His mind buzzed.

Honestly, after being reborn, he had thought of many things.

He had thought that Zhi Meng killed him for Luo Rou.

He had thought that Zhi Meng was naturally cold-hearted and ruthless, killing him only to seize his opportunities.

Or perhaps she had other hidden difficulties.

He even considered that Zhi Meng had been living in regret.

But he would absolutely never forgive Zhi Meng, even if she knelt and begged him to return, he would never forgive her.

He had been reborn; who would still be a simp?

However, he never expected that his earth-shattering love, his sincere heart, was not even worth those few spirit stones?

Lin Xuan trembled all over, unsure if it was from anger or from sheer fury.

“…”

The surrounding powerful cultivators were also dumbfounded.

Then they fell into deep thought.

“Get lost.”

“When I’m in a good mood, perhaps I’ll bestow the souls of these two ants upon you.”

Zhi Meng flicked her long sleeve, her three thousand strands of black hair danced, and she stepped into the void, vanishing into the boundless starry sky in an instant.

Being unable to contact Gu Qing, there was no point in wasting time with Lin Xuan.

Anyway, with Xue Qianqian and Yu Shuang’s souls in her possession, she wasn't worried about not finding Lin Xuan.

“She left?”

“She just left like that?”

The powerful cultivators watched Zhi Meng’s graceful figure, reluctantly withdrawing their gazes.

Zhi Meng was too beautiful, ruthless and decisive, strong and domineering; every move she made was filled with infinite charm, deeply captivating their hearts.

Like a blooming Lycoris Radiata, blazing intensely; they knew approaching would lead to death, yet they couldn’t help but want to get closer, falling uncontrollably.

Even just watching from afar was enough.

“Alas!” someone let out a sigh of melancholy.

Zhi Meng was too stunning, her peerless grace like a Goddess soaring through the nine heavens; she was destined not to be from their world.

After this departure, they wondered when they would see Zhi Meng’s invincible figure again.

Perhaps never.

With Zhi Meng’s talent, it wouldn’t be long before she ascended to the Immortal Realm, forever separating the immortal and mortal worlds.

“Zhi… Meng…”

Lin Xuan finally recovered, but when he looked again, where was Zhi Meng’s figure?

Lin Xuan was furious.

His Extraterrestrial Clone was right there, invincible across heavens and earth, yet Zhi Meng didn’t even put him in her eyes.

Was she treating his Extraterrestrial Clone as a mere decoration?

Today… “If you bark again, I will crush their souls.”

“…”

Lin Xuan immediately shut his mouth.

Although he had absolute strength to crush Zhi Meng, Xue Qianqian and Yu Shuang’s souls were still in Zhi Meng’s hands.

Zhi Meng, that madwoman, she truly would say it and do it.

But if she just left like this, what would happen to Xue Qianqian and Yu Shuang?

Zhi Meng would never let them go.

“In one year, I will give you their souls.” Zhi Meng’s magnetic voice echoed before Lin Xuan could speak.

One year?

Lin Xuan was stunned, then seemed to think of something, a cold sneer appearing on his face.

He thought Zhi Meng must be trying to buy time, hoping to improve her cultivation and surpass him within a year.

But how was that possible?

Advancing even a little in the Divine Fire Realm often took a hundred years to start, and there were countless Divine Fire Realm cultivators who had meditated for tens of thousands of years without any progress.

Even if Zhi Meng’s talent was monstrous and couldn’t be judged by ordinary standards, trying to surpass him in a year was simply wishful thinking.

However, this was also good.

Lin Xuan also needed time to take on disciples and grow stronger; by then, Zhi Meng, Jiang Yu, Gu Qing, and the women who had deceived him, as well as the Star God Temple, would all pay.

Everything they owed him, he would collect a hundredfold.

“You better keep your word, otherwise, I will never let you go.” Lin Xuan said coldly.

“I, Zhi Meng, never go back on my word. In one year, I will give them to you unconditionally.” Zhi Meng’s voice was indifferent, devoid of any emotion.

She wasn’t trying to surpass Lin Xuan in a year; she was using that year to find Gu Qing.

Even if she couldn’t find him, she would crush the souls rather than give them to Lin Xuan.

If the souls were gone, then she wouldn’t be considered to have broken her word.

“Good! It’s a deal.”

“It’s a deal.”

Hearing Zhi Meng’s assurance, Lin Xuan was completely relieved.

Indeed, Zhi Meng was ruthless and insidious, but just as Zhi Meng said, she never broke a promise.

As long as he got their souls, he had many ways to restore Xue Qianqian and Yu Shuang’s physical bodies.

Thinking of this, the stone in Lin Xuan’s heart finally fell, and he pondered where to take on disciples.

He could no longer stay at the Star God Temple.

“I’ve got it, I’ll go to the Moro Continent.”

A captivating figure appeared in Lin Xuan’s mind, that was Hongluan.

This little phoenix bird was a heavenly proud daughter with six-star talent.

And she was also the disciple of his sister, Queen Hongluo.

Although Hongluan and Gu Qing knew each other, it was only a single meeting, and he was present at the time.

Lin Xuan didn’t believe Gu Qing had the charm to make someone fall in love at first sight.

However, to be safe, he would investigate thoroughly first.

He couldn’t make the same mistake twice.

Besides that, it would be even better if he could also take Yan Hongluo, this nine-tailed fox, as a disciple.

Let the seniority be messed up; he needed to get the system rewards first.

In the past, Lin Xuan definitely wouldn’t have done this, but now, Lin Xuan urgently wanted to become stronger.

His deep-seated hatred with Zhi Meng, he couldn’t wait another moment… “Where on earth did this scoundrel go…” Back at Goddess Peak, Zhi Meng held the communication jade, the anxious wait for news making her feel tormented.

She wished she could reach into the communication jade and pull Gu Qing out.

“A good show, ending just like this, huh…”

Jiang Yu was still unsatisfied, her eyes sparkling as she looked towards Goddess Peak.

Seeing Zhi Meng’s anxious expression, she couldn’t help but smile knowingly, a mischievous glint in her beautiful eyes.

“This bad seed must be looking for Gu Qing, wanting to use the Calamity Black Dragon to counter Lin Xuan’s Extraterrestrial Clone. She’s not too stupid.”

Muttering to herself, Jiang Yu withdrew her gaze, her eyes involuntarily drawn to Gu Qing’s smooth muscle lines.

Too perfect.

The touch felt very strange.

The more she touched, the more she wanted to touch.

“Pfft, pfft, pfft, what am I thinking?”

Jiang Yu shook her head, spat lightly, her cheeks burning.

She looked away, then couldn’t help but steal two more glances, her cheeks flushed as if on fire.

Her beautiful eyes shimmered, full of charm.

Until she saw something, Jiang Yu was startled. “It’s not good, not good at all, I won’t look anymore.”

…The book was tested, and after so much anticipation, they actually chose the title I used to make up numbers, it’s hilarious.

There’s one more chapter tonight. I’ve been quite busy recently, so updates might be a bit unstable, but there will be three chapters every day this month.
