Chapter 185

Originally, when people called Mei Chaofeng the Female Demon, Feng Heng had not taken it to heart.

Because in this world, examples of slapping the title of Demon upon an enemy and then shouting for their destruction are countless; she surmised Mei Chaofeng was likely the same.

But now, she dared not be certain.

【Never mind, the entangled grievances between Huang Yaoshi and Mei Chaofeng have nothing to do with me; I am too lazy to think much of it.】

【It is good that Feng Heng has arrived at Manzhuang Shanzhuang; it is lively and bustling here, and Rong'er is also present, which is far better than her being alone and cold and desolate on Taohuadao.】

【However, Cheng Ying in this world seems to have no connection to Taohuadao, so how did she end up appearing at Guiyunzhuang?】

Cheng Ying had just left Taihu at this moment; seeing the diary mention herself, her eyes darted.

Even though her nature was indifferent and she held nothing of the myriad things in her heart, she could not help but perk up, paying even more attention.

……

Manzhuang Shanzhuang.

Huang Rong, holding a fluffy quilt in her arms, lay prone on the bed, propping her chin with her small hand, her fluttering big eyes revealing an expression of interest.

Having heard Cheng Ying's words earlier that day, Huang Rong also understood her thoughts.

She also knew that the other party did not even care whether she would mention her in front of Jiang Sishui.

Stories about herself? And her fate and future within the story?

She did not care at all.

She was the most indifferent person Huang Rong had ever met, as if there were no person or thing in the world that she cared about.

However, Huang Rong ultimately informed Jiang Sishui of her news.

For no other reason, but simply because Huang Rong was filled with curiosity about her.

Cheng Ying did not care whether she heard her story, but Huang Rong wanted to hear it!

【Cheng Ying is a female supporting character in "The Return of the Condor Heroes".】

【The Return of the Condor Heroes has many beauties: Xiao Longnu is cold and fairy-like, Lu Wushuang is sharp and lively, Guo Fu is coquettish and unrestrained, Gongsun Lue is kind and affectionate, Yelu Yan is bold and unbridled, and Wanyan Ping is pitiful and sorrowful.】

【Cheng Ying, however, is as clear and gentle as water, and as noble and elegant as bamboo.】

【Pity that fate did not favor such a beautiful woman.】

At this moment, a thought flashed through the minds of the women whose names had been mentioned: "So I am in 'The Return of the Condor Heroes'."

Then they thought: "Not favored by fate, am I another tragic figure? Then what about me?"

……

Shuzhou.

Lu Wushuang, holding a copy of the diary in both hands, could not help but mutter: "Cousin met him; will she be taken to Manzhuang Shanzhuang? Will Cousin be able to get out?"

Lu Wushuang's expression was strange.

After all, Jiang Sishui had a record of such things.

Lu Wushuang did not believe that if he met her cousin Cheng Ying, he would remain unmoved.

Not to mention that between the lines of this diary, there was nothing but affirmation of Cheng Ying.

【At the very beginning of the story, Cheng Ying was only nine years old; due to an unforeseen disaster, she nearly lost her life.】

【Cheng Ying lost her parents at a young age and lived as a guest in her cousin Lu Wushuang's home.】

【Lu Wushuang had an uncle, Lu Zhanyuan, who had a girlfriend named Li Mochou while away, but soon shifted his affections to another and married a different woman.】

【On the wedding day, Li Mochou came to demand justice but was blocked by others.】

【Helpless, she was forced to swear an oath not to trouble the Lu family for ten years.】

【In other words, ten years later, she could.】

【After this incident, Lu Zhanyuan remained depressed for a long time, fearing Li Mochou would come and harm his family; slowly, he contracted a serious illness and died without cure.】

【His wife committed suicide to follow him in death.】

【Ten years later, Li Mochou returned, but only saw the graves of her lover and her rival.】

【Normally, when people die, love ends, and grievances are settled, but Li Mochou could not swallow this indignation.】

【So she took her anger out on Lu Wushuang's family and directly wiped out the entire sect.】

【Cheng Ying was swept up in this calamity and nearly lost her life.】

205 Li Mochou Enters the First-Rank Hall; Lu Wushuang Who Is Not a Simp

"Li Mochou!"

Seeing this name, Lu Wushuang immediately clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and a strong hatred shone in her eyes.

Just as the diary wrote, there was a sinful entanglement between Lu Zhanyuan and Li Mochou; because it was not handled well, both sides formed a grudge.

But the Lu Liding family was originally innocent; yet they were inexplicably dragged into it, becoming the object of Li Mochou's venting anger, and suffered a Canzaomie Sect.

And she and her cousin Cheng Ying nearly died in that calamity.

At the critical moment, her paternal uncle appeared in time and saved them.

Lu Aotian, the cousin of the two biological brothers Lu Zhanyuan and Lu Liding, had wandered the Jianghu in his youth, traveling everywhere, and had not been heard from for many years.

The family members even thought he was already dead.

It turned out that Lu Aotian had been missing for so many years because of an opportunity back then, having traveled far to the frontier.

Afterwards, Lu Aotian learned a set of excellent martial arts and met a woman named Lu Fengming; soon after, they became husband and wife.

Since then, the couple joined forces and established the reputation of the "Black and White Heroes" in the frontier.

Who would have thought that just as they returned home in glory, they encountered such a great disaster befalling the Lu Family Village.

After witnessing the tragic scene of the Lu Family Village's Mie Sect, Lu Aotian was filled with hatred and rage, intending to kill Li Mochou.

Li Mochou, unable to defeat him, fired a poisoned needle and secretly injured Lu Aotian and Lu Fengming's son, Lu Yi.

That poison was not incurable, but someone had to expend vast amounts of internal energy to force it out of the body in time.

Otherwise, if it drags on even briefly into the night, no medicine or treatment would save her.

Lu Aotian and Lv Fengming, worried for their son's safety, did not dare to pursue, and Li Mochou managed to escape.

After that, the Black and White Twin Heroes joined forces to hunt down Li Mochou.

But because Li Mochou was alert and cunning, and the Black and White Twin Heroes also had to look after three children, they were never able to catch up.

Just like that, both sides remained entangled all the way to Shuzhou.

Perhaps Li Mochou was not fated to die — once, when the great vengeance seemed about to be achieved, a powerful figure suddenly appeared on the road!

It was a woman in white, her face covered with white silk.

The woman in white, upon learning that Li Mochou had been abandoned by a man, took her in and told her to go to Western Xia and join the First Class Hall.

Afterwards, the woman in white even took action personally.

The Black and White Twin Heroes, knowing they were no match, made a snap decision — without even engaging, they decisively took the three children and leapt off a cliff to escape.

The woman in white did not pursue either.

Because she had never regarded the Black and White Twin Heroes as worth her notice.

Doing something in passing did not bother her, but she could not be bothered to put in deliberate effort.

Nearly ten years have now passed, and because Li Mochou had a powerful backer sheltering her, the Black and White Twin Heroes never found a chance to avenge their cousin's family.

And Lu Wushuang had always buried the hatred deep in her heart.

Until not long ago, when she learned that she herself was under the protection of the "Kunji Seal," she immediately set out for Western Xia.

She was going to kill Li Mochou!

And judging from the information revealed in the diary's contents, Lu Wushuang believed that even though the woman in white's Wu Gong was Gao Qiang, she absolutely could not break through the protection.

Lu Wushuang was brimming with confidence.

For this, she even used up her one and only chance to view someone else's rating.

【Character: Li Mochou】

【Appearance: 9】

【Favorability: 4】

Favorability insufficient! Conditions to obtain a diary copy not met!

Lu Wushuang's heart immediately settled.

……

Shanzhou, Mount Zhongnan, the Gumu Sect.

Xiao Longnu's delicate brows knitted slightly: "Lu Zhanyuan... so this is the man that Senior Sister once chose?"

Li Mochou was Xiao Longnu's senior sister. Back then, because she had taken a fancy to a man, she did not hesitate to fall out with her Master — even to the point of defecting from the Gumu Sect — all for the sake of holding on to the love she had chosen.

Although Xiao Longnu was young at the time, she still remembered it clearly.
