Chapter 242

Every day reading the diary, she naturally knew Hou Jian's characteristics and recognized her identity at once.

As for this former Wu Zun of the mysterious Rain Clan, Fairy Ji Lvmu still held some wariness in her heart.

After all, the Rain Clan's Wu Shu was unfathomably mysterious, with many and varied methods, most of which could not be dealt with by common sense—one careless slip and one would fall into the trap.

"I am." Hou Jian's voice was cool and clear, her gaze at Fairy Ji Lvmu carrying a trace of curiosity.

This woman right before her eyes was the one who had sold her Sister Hua, causing Flower Fairy to gnash her teeth in hatred every time she was mentioned.

Fairy Ji Lvmu looked again at the green-clad girl: "And you? Won't you introduce yourself?"

Although judging from the true Qi fluctuations, the other party only had the cultivation of a Great Grandmaster.

But the diary's rewards were bizarre and varied, not lacking those that could pose a threat to her, so Fairy Ji Lvmu did not dare be careless—she wanted to ask the name clearly, so as to guess at her hidden trump cards.

After all, Flower Fairy wouldn't have brought this little girl just to join in the excitement, would she?

A Bi's thoughts were simple, and she was about to answer, when Flower Fairy stopped her.

"Palace Master, let's change to another place before we talk. This place counts as my home too; I don't want to see it smashed up."

Having said that, without waiting for Fairy Ji Lvmu's reply, she turned and left.

Hou Jian and A Bi followed closely behind.

Fairy Ji Lvmu's gaze flickered, then she gave a soft laugh, her body transforming into a black wind as she gave chase.

On the spot, the guards exchanged glances, too frightened to make a sound.

How come this Palace Master and Holy Maiden look like oil and water, as if they're about to come to blows?

But this sort of thing was clearly not something they could inquire about, nor even dare discuss; one by one they kept their eyes on their noses and noses on their hearts, terrified of being caught in the crossfire.

……

In a small grove, the two sides faced off.

Fairy Ji Lvmu's fingertip faintly glowed with colored light as she looked at Flower Fairy across from her and said: "It seems these two are the confidence that lets you dare come find me, hmm?"

Flower Fairy's face was like cold frost as she said chillingly: "Today, I will return every bit of that day's humiliation to you!"

"Humiliation?"

Fairy Ji Lvmu said with a half-smile: "The way you put it… I found you a perfect husband; not only do you not feel grateful, but you keep bearing a grudge against me?"

"Could it be that you haven't been happy these past days? Could everything written in the diary be fake?"

"Look, after getting a man, you've become quite a bit prettier."

Fairy Ji Lvmu's words carried barbs, constantly stirring up Flower Fairy's emotions.

Flower Fairy's face instantly flushed crimson.

She knew Fairy Ji Lvmu was deliberately trying to anger her, but she simply could not help feeling both ashamed and annoyed.

Clenching her slender fists, she said coldly: "Hmph, don't be too pleased with yourself; soon you won't be able to laugh anymore."

"On the strength of her?"

Fairy Ji Lvmu cast a sidelong glance at Hou Jian, her bearing elegant yet carrying a hint of languor: "The Rain Clan's Wu Zun may really be very powerful, but…"

Halfway through speaking, Fairy Ji Lvmu's pupils suddenly shone with divine light, like two resplendent little stars.

This was to repeat her old trick, using the "Soul-Capturing Great Art" to control Flower Fairy.

Hou Jian was clearly not easy to deal with; that green-clad girl's background was unknown; and Flower Fairy herself was the biggest weakness.

As long as she captured one person, today's initiative would be in her hands.

But what Fairy Ji Lvmu could think of, Flower Fairy naturally could as well, and she had instructed Hou Jian long beforehand.

Therefore, the moment Fairy Ji Lvmu launched her spiritual attack, Hou Jian flashed in front of Flower Fairy, her pupils flaring with blue light as she locked gazes with Fairy Ji Lvmu.

Almost at the same instant, a layer of protective light barrier unfurled around their bodies.

The next moment, both women's bodies trembled in unison, and they tacitly withdrew their secret arts.

A spiritual duel was too perilous; they weren't truly fighting to the death, so naturally there was no need to go all out.

Seeing she could not bypass Hou Jian to deal with Flower Fairy, Fairy Ji Lvmu immediately shifted her target.

A gust of black wind rose, and Fairy Ji Lvmu's figure vanished.

That black wind sent sand and stones flying, charging straight at Hou Jian.

Hou Jian pointed a finger, and a streak of blue light swept out, enveloping the black wind.

The next moment, Fairy Ji Lvmu's figure re-coalesced.

She had actually been forcibly forced out!

Rain Clan Wu Shu—Revealing-Form Art!

It specialized in breaking through a whole series of concealment methods such as Qi Men Dun Jia, Illusion, Ninjutsu, and Fa Shu.

Afterward, Hou Jian pointed another finger.

Fairy Ji Lvmu felt a premonition of danger, teleported away in a flash; that beam of blue light landed on a large tree, and the entire tree instantly turned into an ice sculpture.

Fairy Ji Lvmu's pupils contracted, and her heart jolted violently.

If she hadn't dodged just now, would the one turned into an ice sculpture have been her?

Hou Jian saw that she hadn't struck Fairy Ji Lvmu but had accidentally injured the large tree instead, and slightly frowned, then pointed another finger.

In an instant, the ice tree returned to its original state.

Still full of vitality, as if nothing had happened.

"This is the Rain Clan's Wu Shu? How amazing!"

Seeing such a miraculous scene, Fairy Ji Lvmu roused her full attention and engaged Hou Jian in combat once more.

Immortal Water Palace's heritage stretched back so far that its origins could not even be traced, but its background was absolutely no small matter.

Because Immortal Water Palace's Gongdedu Sect's unique skills differed vastly from the mainstream Wu Gong of the Jianghu, and even contained the shadow of Fa Shu within them.

Like the "Transformation Art," it was more like a combination of Wu Gong and Fa Shu.

Precisely because of this, Fairy Consort Green Mother's and Flower Fairy's techniques were so bizarre.

At present, Fairy Consort Green Mother was clashing against Hou Jian's sorcery using the Immortal Water Palace's ultimate arts, and the spectacle was momentarily magnificent—five-colored and dazzling, dazzling Ah Bi's eyes.

However, although the two sides fought fiercely, the situation had reached a stalemate.

In fact, Hou Jian's raw strength surpassed Fairy Consort Green Mother's, but she had far too little experience fighting others, which cost her considerably in this regard.

Besides, both of them were protected by the "Kunji Seal."

Since their spiritual attacks couldn't harm each other, their other methods actually couldn't break through the other's protective light barrier!

At this rate, today's "farce" seemed destined to end in a draw.

Thinking of this, Fairy Consort Green Mother was about to mock Flower Fairy a couple of times, when she suddenly heard Flower Fairy give a soft cry: "Sister Ah Bi!"

Ah Bi?

That Taihu spirit Jiang Sishui had mentioned?

The diary reward she had obtained back then was…

Before Fairy Consort Green Mother could recall, a wave of beautiful singing drifted into her ears.

269 Flower Fairy's Scheme, Fairy Consort Falls into the Demon Den

Jiang Sishui once said: Ah Bi's singing is clear but not cloying, like heavenly music, making one feel peaceful and harmonious upon hearing it, as if after weathering wind and rain outside, one has finally returned to the harbor of the soul.

Fairy Consort Green Mother wholeheartedly agreed with his first half of the review, because she truly had never heard a more beautiful song than the one now.

Only, the singing was clearly so wonderful—why then did she feel a surge of sadness?

The harbor of the soul?

No, she felt no warmth whatsoever; instead, her old heart-wound, which she had always been unwilling to recall, was ruthlessly torn open.

It was back when she was a Holy Maiden.

Unable to contain her curiosity and loneliness, she had snuck out of the Immortal Water Palace.

In one chance encounter, she fell in love with a man.

For that love, she even went so far as to violate the palace rules and accept his pursuit.

However, when he first asked her to share intimacy, Fairy Consort Green Mother refused.

Because she had matters to attend to and needed to return to the Immortal Water Palace; once she lost her chastity, the Palace Master would discover it, and the consequences would be unthinkable.

She explained to him, and he smiled and said he understood.

Still, although there was good reason, Fairy Consort Green Mother still felt a twinge of guilt in her heart.

Because she couldn't set her mind at ease, not long after leaving she turned back, wanting to say a few comforting words to him.

But when she found him, he was in the midst of intimacy with another woman.

The shock and despair of that moment, Fairy Consort Green Mother still remembered to this day.

She did not kill him, because her feelings for him had been real.
