274: Pu Jianfei's death, the enemy sisters

“Don't you deserve to die?”

Pu Jianfei's expression was distorted and maniacal: “I've been by your side for hundreds of years, running errands for you. Even if I haven't achieved anything, I've put in the effort. Why are you so heartless towards me?”

“What exactly did I do wrong?”

He still couldn't understand. He had only spoken a single truth, yet hundreds of years of companionship were severed just like that.

Even if you raised a dog, you'd develop feelings for it after hundreds of years.

Was Xingyue's heart made of iron?

“You're seeking death.” Xingyue's eyes were icy, and killing intent flowed from her.

Her heart certainly wasn't made of iron; she simply never considered Pu Jianfei one of her own from the start.

In her eyes, Pu Jianfei was just a dispensable tool. If he was gone, she'd simply find another.

Besides, Pu Jianfei had shamelessly begged to stay by her side.

Seeing that Pu Jianfei had some use, she simply kept him as a servant.

Pu Jianfei had been a servant for so long that he started to see himself as a master. It seemed Pu Jianfei couldn't be kept alive today.

“You want to kill me too?”

At this moment, Pu Jianfei's heart turned completely cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

At the same time, an uncontrollable, towering rage surged within him.

“Why?”

“Gu Qing clearly did nothing; he just stood there, and you threw yourself at him like a moth to a flame. What's so good about him?”

If Xingyue were ruthless and heartless to everyone, Pu Jianfei would naturally have nothing to say.

But Xingyue clearly wasn't.

Xingyue also had moments of shyness and tenderness, but the object of her affection wasn't him.

“Hehe, Xingyue, it seems you're not so great either. You can't even raise a dog, and he still bit you.”

Xi Ling grabbed Xingyue, who was about to act. Such a good opportunity to mock Xingyue couldn't be missed.

She covered her mouth and chuckled, her amber, glazed eyes full of mockery.

Xingyue's already unpleasant expression grew even more so.

She and Xi Ling seemed like good sisters, but in reality, they were constantly competing in secret, both wanting to fiercely trample the other underfoot and rub her face in the dirt.

Now this. Pu Jianfei's betrayal would probably give Xi Ling ammunition to mock her for hundreds of years.

Xingyue's eyes were cold and indifferent: “Senior Sister Xi Ling, I'm not like you, so deeply understanding of men. In my eyes, he's just a dog that can be called and dismissed at will.”

This was clearly a taunt, implying Xi Ling was too kind to her subordinates, which was beneath her status.

“Hehehe.”

Xi Ling heard the mockery in Xingyue's words, but she laughed even harder.

“No, no, Sister Xingyue, I've never given them a good look. Not only do I treat them like dogs, I also demand that they offer up their resources.”

“Do you know why I never ask the price when I buy things? Because the immortal essence I throw around isn't mine.”

“You probably haven't used a 'lickspittle's' resources yet, have you? You're still no good, as expected. You should learn more from me, sister.”

Pu Jianfei's furious emotions suddenly froze. He stared in disbelief at the two women's open and veiled taunts, his heart greatly shaken, his mind a blank.

Xi Ling and Xingyue were peerless goddesses of talent and grace.

They were of noble birth and possessed unparalleled talent.

They were revered by countless prodigies as goddesses who could only be admired from afar, never defiled.

Yet, at this moment, they were actually toying with their pursuers like dogs?

What had he been doing all these years?

A strong wave of shame surged through him, giving Pu Jianfei the urge to explode on the spot.

“Enough.”

“Xingyue, I thought you were just cold and not good at expressing yourself, but I never imagined you truly treated me, Pu Jianfei, like a dog. You truly deserve to die.”

The two women stopped their confrontation and looked at Pu Jianfei, whose eyes were bloodshot and his face contorted in a sneer.

Xi Ling sneered: “We've always treated you all like dogs. Isn't that obvious?”

“If you weren't harboring ulterior motives, why would you willingly let me command you?”

“Ultimately, this is a matter of mutual consent, each taking what they need. How can you blame us?”

“You, you, you...” Pu Jianfei was furious but had nothing to say.

After all, they had indeed eagerly approached them, willingly offering everything, and even found joy in the goddesses' cold demeanor.

They also believed that goddesses should be so aloof and otherworldly, that goddesses were simply not good at expressing themselves, and that goddesses were faultless.

A glimmer of hope always remained in their hearts, believing that one day they could move the goddess and gain her favor.

The more Pu Jianfei thought about it, the more ashamed he felt. He said bitterly: “Those who toy with human hearts will eventually be toyed with by human hearts. You will get your comeuppance.”

“The powerless roar of an ant.” Xi Ling's eyes showed contempt. She shook her head, her voice like a celestial melody, yet full of ridicule.

“You wouldn't think that with the secret treasures bestowed by those old fogeys, you could kill us, would you?”

“Haha, even Senior Brother Yaoguang wouldn't dare speak loudly to me. What are you, Pu Jianfei?”

With that, without waiting for Xingyue to act, she made her move first.

After all, killing Pu Jianfei would be another excellent reason to mock Xingyue later.

She could also show off in front of the arrogant Xingyue, killing two birds with one stone.

Xi Ling raised her hand and drew a crescent moon. The world suddenly fell silent, and time and space were like a Time Mirror. A wisp of the power of time, like a gentle breeze, swept away all vitality from the world.

Wherever it passed, all things turned to void, a vast and desolate expanse.

Pu Jianfei's pupils constricted.

He knew this was Xi Ling's famous ultimate skill, Time Mirror.

Once unleashed, time and space would freeze, and the power of time could erode everything.

“Move, make me move...”

Pu Jianfei's pupils showed the power of time rushing towards him, but he couldn't move.

He was enveloped by Xi Ling's domain of time.

In this domain, time stood still.

The seemingly slow power of time was actually faster than time itself.

It was so fast that he could only form a thought, unable to make any movement, only able to watch as the power of time eroded him into nothingness.

Feeling his body dissipate, the great terror of death enveloped his heart. Pu Jianfei was terrified and despairing.

Looking at the peerlessly graceful Xi Ling and Xingyue, his heart was filled with regret.

He used to think that by staying by Xingyue's side, he could one day move her, and he was quite proud of it.

He could also frequently see Xi Ling and talk to her, which made their vanity explode, and they looked down on the two women's pursuers with a condescending attitude.

But he never expected that he was no different from those people.

They were all dispensable ants in the eyes of the two women.

He had been delusional.

Such peerless goddesses were simply not for him to covet.

Regret.

A nostalgic look appeared in Pu Jianfei's eyes.

If time could flow backward, he would never interact with the two of them again. He would definitely stay by his parents and master's side.

He hadn't seen his parents for hundreds of years, and he didn't know if they were well.

At this thought, Pu Jianfei's consciousness completely plunged into darkness, and his body turned to void.

Even the Heavenly God-grade Daoist robe he wore was eroded into tatters by the power of time, completely scrapped.

“Phew!”

Xi Ling let out a long breath. Using Time Mirror was a huge burden for her as well.

Fortunately, Pu Jianfei was dealt with perfectly.

Let's see how Xingyue could still be arrogant in front of her after this.

“A Sequence True Disciple is nothing more than this. He couldn't even last a single breath under my hand. Too weak.”

Xi Ling shook her head indifferently, her posture transcendent and ethereal, like a goddess about to ascend to the heavens.

“...”

Xingyue gritted her silver teeth, her heart burning with rage.

Damn Xi Ling, what was she pretending for?

Don't think she didn't know that Time Mirror was Xi Ling's trump card divine ability.

Every time she used it, it was a huge burden for Xi Ling as well.

“Sister Xingyue, why are you silent?”

Xi Ling's red lips, hidden beneath her veil, curled slightly as she asked with amusement.

“I helped you kill Pu Jianfei. Aren't you happy?”

“Or do you still want to keep him around?”

“Hmph!” Xingyue snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Today she had lost, but one day, she would get her revenge and fiercely trample Xi Ling underfoot.

“Don't go, sister, I haven't finished speaking yet.”

Xi Ling chased after her, leisurely adding insult to injury. Seeing Xingyue's angry and helpless expression, she was extremely happy.
