But she never went to see him again after that, because her hatred for him was real too.

The intertwining of love and hate made Fairy Consort Lümu unable to let go even to this day.

In an instant, memories of the past surged into her heart all at once; Fairy Consort Lümu's eyes were full of sorrow, her heart filled with loss and despair.

Just as her emotions were low and her mind was dazed, Hou Jian suddenly stopped attacking.

With the threat removed, the protective light barrier around Fairy Consort Lümu dissipated along with it.

Hou Jian seized the opportunity to grip both of Fairy Consort Lümu's wrists, and then a blue light rose up.

This blue light carried no offensive power whatsoever, yet the two figures vanished from the spot in an instant.

"It worked, Sister Hua."

A flash of light from the "Jade Dragon Scale" on Abi Ah-Bi's brow vanished as she stopped singing.

Flower Fairy was all smiles, her heart full of the exhilaration of great vengeance achieved, and she said excitedly, "Yes, it worked!"

"Hmph, this Miss keeps her word. What I said back then, I'll make good on it this time."

"Fairy Consort, oh Fairy Consort, after tonight, let's see what face you'll have to meet me with!"

Saying so, she tugged Ah-Bi: "Let's go, we're heading back to watch the show!"

……

Blue Phoenix was a woman of Miao Territory, exquisite and charming, with exceptional grace and allure, and a voice especially soft, beautiful, and moving, stirring the heart to its depths.

Yet though she seemed flirtatious on the surface, in truth she guarded her chastity like jade; few men could earn a place in her eyes.

In "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer," she took quite a liking to the free-spirited Linghu Chong, but it was only the affection of a brother and sister.

That such a woman, not long after meeting him, would take the initiative to come find him and offer herself—Jiang Sishui had never expected this at all.

But as a law-abiding good citizen in his past life, he generally would not go against a woman's wishes.

Especially a beautiful woman who understood self-respect and self-love.

The original work records that Blue Phoenix was not only skilled at concocting all manner of deadly poisons, but also multi-talented; the xiao flute and whistling, for instance, were her fortes.

Though Jiang Sishui had never heard her play, he believed it without the slightest doubt.

Suddenly, in the pink-hazed room, a burst of blue light appeared.

Immediately after, two human figures tumbled out from within.

They were none other than Fairy Consort Lümu and Hou Jian.

And the former landed squarely in Jiang Sishui's arms without a hair's breadth of error.

Jiang Sishui and Blue Phoenix both looked up at the same time, gazing in astonishment.

After the power of the "Jade Dragon Scale" stirred up Fairy Consort Lümu's negative emotions, she was caught off guard for a moment and was carried into a teleportation by Hou Jian.

But the instant the singing ceased, she also snapped awake with a start.

What met her eyes was not only an environment that had completely changed in appearance, but people who had all changed as well.

And the person she had crashed into... was actually still...

Fairy Consort Lümu instantly flushed from her face to her ears; without a word, she instinctively sent a palm strike flying at Jiang Sishui.

The palm, shimmering with colored light, struck Jiang Sishui squarely on the chest, yet the force attached to the palm vanished like a clay ox into the sea.

To those who didn't know the inside story, her action looked just like a lover flirting and teasing.

Fairy Consort Lümu was stunned.

Only at this moment did her brain finally register who exactly it was she had hit.

At this instant, Fairy Consort Lümu's face turned deathly pale, and in her mind were only two words: "It's over..."

When they first obtained the diary copy at the start, they received a prompt: within three months, you cannot, in any way, proactively cause any harm to the diary's owner.

This requirement seemed harsh, but in reality, as long as one harbored no ill intentions toward Jiang Sishui, there was no impact.

Because there was a premise within it—proactive.

In other words, if Jiang Sishui were the one to harm them first, they would be able to strike back.

But now, in her panic, she had taken the lead and launched an attack against Jiang Sishui!

This meant that no matter what Jiang Sishui did to her next, she would have not the slightest ability to resist.

Not only could she not resist, but any defiance from her, in Jiang Sishui's eyes, would all become half-push, half-yield—feigned refusal masking acceptance.

The "Women's Self-Defense Technique" that could originally collapse mountains and split the earth had suddenly become the powerless "Perp Excitement Fist"—how could those unaware of the inside story not misunderstand?

At this moment, Fairy Consort Lümu finally understood Flower Fairy's sinister intent.

Flower Fairy had never intended to defeat or wound her; instead, she had seized the timing to ruthlessly scheme against her.

With the "Kunji Seal" present, even Hou Jian could do nothing to Fairy Consort Lümu—but Jiang Sishui could!

Thus, Flower Fairy staged a performance of "killing with a borrowed knife."

"That wretched girl!"

Fairy Consort Lümu seethed with hatred in her heart and hurriedly rose to flee.

But she had barely taken half a step when a powerful arm dragged her back.

Jiang Sishui didn't know what had happened between Fairy Consort Lümu and Hou Jian, but since she had appeared at this place at this time, how could he possibly let her leave?

It happened that he had long been roused to a bellyful of unholy fire by Blue Phoenix.

And Fairy Consort Lümu—he had been coveting her for more than a day or two; it was just that he couldn't beat her before.

At the same time, Fairy Consort Lümu's limp resistance, in his eyes, also became a maiden's coy reserve.

Thus Jiang Sishui considerately took the initiative.

And Fairy Consort Lümu, the Palace Master of Immortal Water Palace, was like a goddess fallen into a demon's den, firmly seized by a demonic claw.

270 Flower Fairy: Killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of your own

Not wanting to miss Fairy Consort Lümu's mortified state, Flower Fairy took Ah-Bi and hurried all the way back to Shanzhuang without stopping, eager and excited.

The moment she stepped onto the island, she ran straight into Zhu Abi.

"Sister Abi, I really have to thank you this time!" Flower Fairy said with a beaming smile, taking Abi's hand, her joy written all over her face.

Abi sighed and said, "From now on the Immortal Concubine is one of our own too — who knows how she'll blame ~us for this."

As she spoke, she exchanged a glance with Zhu Abi, and both little faces were clouded with worry.

For this scheme against the Immortal Concubine Lümu, Flower Fairy had found three helpers in total.

Hou Jian would hold the front and handle the final step — the teleportation — which was the most crucial part.

Zhu Abi's supporting role could not be overlooked either.

And the reason Flower Fairy had been able to time things so precisely was all thanks to Abi's "Heart Bridge."

Thus, when the Immortal Concubine Lümu fell into the "Demon's Den," she too was one of the hands behind the curtain.

Once the Immortal Concubine Lümu figured out the key to it all later, who knew how she would resent them.

If not for their good relationship with Flower Fairy, unable to withstand Flower Fairy's gentle pleading, they would never have helped scheme against another diary-dungeon owner like this.

Flower Fairy laughed and said, "Blame you? My two good sisters, I'll teach you a trick — she definitely won't blame you."

Abi and Zhu Abi were surprised at her words: "What trick?"

Flower Fairy whispered in her ear: "If she comes to question you two, just go tell that scoundrel that the Immortal Concubine is very dissatisfied with him."

"After that, you won't need to worry about a thing — that fellow will naturally have her tamed into complete submission."

"Alright, I'm off to watch the fun. I'll be going now."

As her words fell, Flower Fairy's graceful figure had already vanished into the distance, leaving only Abi and Zhu Abi staring at each other in bewilderment.

……

Flower Fairy rushed all the way toward her target's location, and from a great distance, she heard the Immortal Concubine Lümu's uncontrollable trembling voice.

Flower Fairy immediately stopped in her tracks.

As someone who had been through it herself, she naturally knew exactly what the Immortal Concubine Lümu was going through.

The corner of her mouth curved up slightly as she murmured, "Immortal Concubine, oh Immortal Concubine, aren't you unable to forget old affections? After tonight, let's see what face you have left to act so high and mighty."

To make the process go more smoothly, she didn't go in to meddle or disturb, and simply waited outside the courtyard.

During that time, she also heard two other female voices.

They belonged to Lan Fenghuang and Hou Jian.

Rising and falling, echoing and answering one another.

An hour later, Flower Fairy's mouth was parched and her whole body was flushed with heat.

By this time, the Immortal Concubine Lümu's voice had already fallen silent for quite a while, presumably having been thoroughly defeated.

"Want to rest? Not so easy!"

Flower Fairy decided to give the Immortal Concubine Lümu an unforgettable-for-life lesson, and strode quickly into the room.
