Chapter 569: The Most Devoted in Dongzhou

Having confirmed Jiang Mumying's identity, Su Luoxing wore a strange expression, never expecting to meet her here.

Before, he always thought that woman was dead.

Speaking of Jiang Mumying, that was back when he and Qi Xiong were young; at that time, Qi Xiong was enamored with the Gōulán, and Jiang Mumying was the top courtesan of Dongzhou's largest Gōulán.

Don't underestimate her; to become the top courtesan of Dongzhou's largest Gōulán, Jiang Mumying not only possessed outstanding talent, but she was also versed in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

Moreover, at that time Jiang Mumying was a renowned fairy on the Rouge List, with countless suitors.

I just don't know if this girl is slow-witted; after a few meetings, she was somehow taken in by Qi Xiong.

Not only that, but she even bought her own freedom, acting as if she would marry no one but Qi Xiong.

But as for the result, Su Luoxing gave Qi Xiong a complicated look—this guy really isn't human—and he turned straight away and threw himself into his senior sister's arms.

It is said that back then Jiang Mumying even made a special trip to the Dao Yi Sect, saying she wanted to personally kill this faithless man, Qi Xiong.

At that time Su Luoxing wasn't present, and he didn't know the final outcome.

Although he had asked Qi Xiong, that guy never gave a straight answer.

After that, Su Luoxing never saw Jiang Mumying again, never expecting she had run off to Xizhou and even joined the Fomen.

Recalling the past, Su Luoxing blurted out a sentence as if possessed.

"You came to take revenge?"

No matter how you look at it, Jiang Mumying seems to have come for revenge—after all, back then Qi Xiong had deceived her terribly, and she probably already hated him to death.

Hearing that, Jiang Mumying also turned her head to look at Qi Xiong and spoke coldly.

"Yes, this time I really did come back just to take revenge, but I already said back then that this faithless man could only die by my hand."

"This..............."

Hearing that, Su Luoxing fell into silence, while Qi Xiong instead spoke up.

"I said back then, you can try to kill me anytime; whether you slash or chop, I won't even frown."

"Then come with me."

"Okay."

Listening to their conversation, Su Luoxing was completely bewildered, watching Qi Xiong truly about to leave with Jiang Mumying, and he whispered.

"No, you really intend to go with her?"

Hearing that, Qi Xiong gave Su Luoxing a look and replied irritably.

"Saying you're an idiot, and you still won't admit it."

"Huh???"

Su Luoxing grew ever more puzzled—what did those two mean?

Next, under Jiang Mumying's guidance, the two quietly arrived at a small courtyard.

Now Jiang Mumying is also an Elder of the Fomen in Xizhou; although she hasn't yet reached the Shèngjìng, she has attained perfect cultivation in the Heaven-Man Realm, and her status in the Fomen is second only to the other Elders.

"Just stay here for now; with me present, no one will come to search."

This small courtyard serves as Jiang Mumying's temporary residence.

Hearing those words, Su Luoxing frowned, but Jiang Mumying ignored him; after she finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at Qi Xiong.

"Come in with me; the events of the past should also have an ending."

"Okay."

In response, Qi Xiong nodded without hesitation, then turned and told Su Luoxing to wait in another room.

Watching the two walk into the room, Su Luoxing was filled with worry.

His mind racing with random thoughts, he wondered if this woman really intended to kill Qi Xiong; dragging his wounded body, Su Luoxing didn't bother with much else and stepped toward the room.

He had thought he'd see the two arguing upon entering, but the moment he pushed the door open, what met his eyes directly made his old face flush.

Without a word, he hurriedly shut the door and then couldn't help cursing under his breath.

"What the hell am I even worrying about?"

He really felt like his sincere devotion had been fed to dogs; moreover, from childhood to adulthood, Su Luoxing had always been unable to figure out one thing.

That is, are all the women connected to Qi Xiong just brain‑sick?

Given how Qi Xiong is, how can they still act like that?

Jiang Mumying is like that, the senior sister of Closed Moon Valley is like that, and even his own senior sister is like that—many other women are the same.

This left Su Luoxing utterly baffled.

Jiang Mumying wasn't supposed to be seeking revenge? What the hell, revenge in bed?

"Damn adulterous couple."

He spat, and Su Luoxing likewise went to the adjacent room to rest.

No longer thinking about that adulterous couple, for now it's important to focus on recovering from his injuries.

In the blink of an eye it was late at night; the Fomen searchers were almost frantic, having turned over nearly the entire Dongzhou Dukou, yet still they hadn't found any trace of Qi Xiong and the others.

The faces of the Fomen sages turned dark as they spoke.

"Search, Qi Xiong must still be at the Dongzhou Dukou; we must find him."

"Even if we have to dig three feet deep, we must find Qi Xiong—alive we want to see the person, dead we want to see the corpse."

The search continued, yet the Fomen sages didn't realize that at this moment Qi Xiong was not hiding in a sorry state; on the contrary, he was right under their noses, and moreover he was comfortably embracing their Fomen Elder.

After a bout of sparring, Jiang Mumying leaned in Qi Xiong's embrace; looking at her—though she had entered the monastic life, she was still beautiful and charming—Qi Xiong laughed.

"What do you say—do you still want revenge now? I said, this life is yours; you can take it anytime."

"You really would give it up?"

Hearing that, Jiang Mumying replied softly.

"You know? From the moment I first saw you, I swore that as long as you like it, as long as it exists in this world—even if it's the moon in the sky—I would pluck it for you, let alone a mere life."

At this moment, Qi Xiong's gaze was immeasurably deep, his voice low and magnetic, causing Jiang Mumying to be completely drawn in.

This is also why she once liked Qi Xiong without reservation.

But now, Jiang Mumying pursed her lips.

"How many women have you said this to? Do you think I'd still believe you?"

"Yingying."

"Huh?"

"You should know, to me they're just fleeting clouds; you're the eternal one, understand?"

"I don't believe it."

Faced with the ardent Qi Xiong, Jiang Mumying put on an act of utter disbelief, yet her body kept pressing close to him.

Her eyes involuntarily flashed with a smile.

As for Qi Xiong, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he spoke sincerely.

"Yingying, it's great that you've come back."

At this moment, Qi Xiong was simply deep emotion............... crying to death, utterly turned into a lovesick fool.

However, his heart is a bit big, with many people living in it, but even so, you can't say he isn't deep in feeling.

The Fomen people never would have guessed that while they were exhausting themselves searching outside for Qi Xiong and his companion, Qi Xiong was, damn it, holding their beautiful Fomen woman, living it up.

Damn, who exactly is fleeing for their life? To flee like this, he Qi Xiong could be considered the first throughout history.

"Where are they? Why can't we find them?"

"They couldn't have already escaped, could they?"

"Impossible, the blockade is intact; how did they get out?"

Above the Dongzhou Dukou at midnight, the Fomen saints discussed grimly, damn it, where are they?
