Chapter 86

Ah Zi leaped up happily.

Although she felt the diary copy was protecting her and Ding Chunqiu shouldn't be able to do anything to her, she had still spent many years in the Xingxiu Sect, and Ding Chunqiu's accumulated intimidation ran deep—she was afraid of him from the bottom of her heart.

Now that Ding Chunqiu had been killed by Jiang Sishui, that was the end of it once and for all, couldn't be better.

Ah Zi raised her head to gaze east, murmuring, "Suzhou is still a bit far."

【In "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils," Duan Yanqing was originally the Crown Prince of Dali, but later due to internal strife in Dali, after the treacherous minister Yang Yizhen seized the state, he was forced to flee into exile】

【Because of his status, he was hunted by many parties; on the Huguang road he encountered a siege by powerful enemies】

【Although he fought desperately and annihilated all his foes, he suffered countless blade wounds—not only was his face completely disfigured, his legs were crippled, and he could not even speak】

【After narrowly escaping death, he fused the "Duan Family Sword" and "One Yang Finger" into his iron-staff skill, his strength greatly advanced, and he began to take frenzied revenge on his former enemies】

【Because his methods were cruel and bloody, wiping out entire families at the slightest provocation, he earned the title "Evil Beyond Redemption"】

【So Duan Yanqing becoming a villain has entirely sufficient reason】

【If his experiences had befallen someone else, let alone turning bad, there probably wouldn't be many who even had the courage and will to keep living】

【This man is indeed pitiable, but a pity that since he's set himself as our enemy, there's nothing more to say—straight to the physical release for him】

【There's also that Ye Mengse, who finally ran right into my hands】

【That woman killed seven or eight thousand infants over twenty-some years, her sins are towering, yet she's lived until now—it's likely her lover Xuan Ci was secretly helping her】

【If that's truly the case, then once I kill Ye Mengse, that bald donkey Xuan Ci will surely bear a grudge—will he scheme to make me clash with Shaolin Temple, then use "capturing an evil demon" as a pretext to make trouble for me?】

"Killed seven or eight thousand infants?!"

"A great evil woman actually committing adultery with a Shaolin monk, and even secretly providing protection?!"

All the women were shocked.

This was bombshell news—once it spread, probably half the Central Domain would be shaken by it.

Whether it was Ye Mengse's "track record" or the role of Shaolin's Xuan Ci as "protective umbrella," the nature of both was extremely vile, simply intolerable to heaven and earth!

Let alone the righteous path, probably even those demonic-path warriors would be terrified.

Unfortunately Ye Mengse is now dead, the dead cannot testify, no matter how big a fuss is made, Shaolin can suppress it.

It seemed Jiang Sishui had no intention of making a big fuss over Ye Mengse.

True enough—the one who offended Jiang Sishui was Ye Mengse; if he had to "pull up the radish and bring up the mud," dragging Shaolin down too, this colossus would certainly suffer great damage to its reputation, but it would also inevitably bear a grudge against Jiang Sishui.

At his current stage, he really shouldn't thoroughly offend such a sacred ground of Wu Lin.

【Having defeated four Grand Masters, no one was foolish enough to come looking for trouble, and the "Zhenlongqi Society" concluded smoothly】

【The heroes descended the mountain, but Wang Yuyan and Zhu Abi were kept behind by me】

【Up close, the fairy sister grows more beautiful the more I look, and with my new identity as Wu Wu Ya Zi's disciple, getting close to her is much more convenient】

【Mm, I need to think carefully about how to get her into my hands】

Zhu Abi and Zhu Abi exchanged a glance, both couldn't help but smile; the former poked Wang Yuyan's slender waist and laughed, "Cousin Young Lady, Young Master Jiang is craving you."

Wang Yuyan was already unbearably shy, and hearing Zhu Abi tease her like this, her pretty face instantly flushed crimson as blood, and she huffed, "You... don't talk nonsense."

"Sister Zhu Abi isn't talking nonsense, I think Young Master Jiang means exactly that." Zhu Abi chimed in softly.

Wang Yuyan, her cheeks burning hot from their teasing, said irritably, "You're picking on me now, but later I won't be polite with you either."

Sure enough, the moment Wang Yuyan's words fell, Jiang Sishui brought them up.

【But Zhu Abi looks easier to get started with—after all, this girl isn't very good at refusing people, and like Wang Yuyan, she doesn't seem as infatuated with Murong Fu as in the book】

【That's great, saves me a great deal of effort】

【Mm, first get closer, then find a chance to half-coax half-push, and the great matter can be accomplished!】

Wang Yuyan immediately murmured teasingly, "One half-coaxes half-pushes, the other half-pushes half-yields—of course the 'great matter' can be accomplished."

This time it was Zhu Abi's turn to be unable to bear it; with a soft cry, she buried her pretty head in Zhu Abi's arms and refused to come out.

Zhu Abi said nothing comforting—at this moment her own heart was also in turmoil, afraid Jiang Sishui would say something outrageous.

【Zhu Abi is just as mischievous as in the original, similar to her mother Ruan Ruan Xingzhu; upon first meeting not only was she unafraid of me, she even teased me with words】

【She's a clever girl, able to tell I bear her no malice】

【But can she tell that I'm also craving her body?】

【If she can tell, and still dares to tease me in front of me, then she's playing with fire】

【Or is it like in the original, when she was won over by Helmsman Qiao Feng's heroic bearing in the Apricot Forest—today she's been captivated by my dashing, elegant, invincible bearing?】

【If that's the case, then Zhu Abi might be easier to conquer than Zhu Abi】

Wang Yuyan's innocent autumn-water bright eyes immediately looked over; she blinked and said with a serious face, "Zhu Abi, so you're this kind of Zhu Abi."

Zhu Abi: "..."

It's over, I shouldn't have teased Cousin Young Lady from the very start.

Cousin Young Lady's words were light as a feather, but clearly carried thorns... no, carried brambles!

【What's interesting is that this Zhu Abi actually speaks in a Dai-like manner, it genuinely stunned me】

【If I hadn't read the original and known the Murong family was at Swallow Dock, I'd have thought she came out of the Grand View Garden】

【This isn't bad either, life will be livelier from now on】

"Dai-like manner? Grand View Garden?"

Zhu Abi had never heard this idiom before; she immediately reached out with her fingertip to check it, and understood in her heart.

Feeling the strange gazes of the three women, the girl instantly flushed a deep red.

095 Sister Xi Shi Revives, Dai-like Zhu Abi

【Alright, let's set aside the matter of Wang Yuyan and Zhu Abi for now, and think first about how to broach the subject with Qi Ying】

【Mm, what a headache】

Written to here, today's extra-long diary finally ends.

The women were all somewhat reluctant to leave, and immediately began to savor the contents revealed today.

Without a doubt, it was still the world of *Divine Weapons of the Mysterious* and the "Ten Directions Annihilation" that shocked them the most.

【Detected that Jiang Sishui has completed today's diary entry. Congratulations on obtaining one month of true qi】

【Now drawing today's lucky winner……】

【Congratulations to A Qing on obtaining the "Resurrection Card"】

"Resurrection Card?!"

The women's hearts gave a jolt.

What is a Resurrection Card? Gu Mingsiyi — its meaning is clear at a glance.

The system actually rewards something like this!

This shocked them even more than the *Classic of the Plain Girl*, which was suspected to be above even the Heavenly Art.

After all, when a person dies, they are like a lamp extinguished. To resurrect someone would mean to reverse life and death and creation itself — how could that be within the power of man?

In an instant, the women's understanding of the diary's mystery and power deepened another layer.

But although the women coveted this reward, none of them entertained any crooked thoughts.

Both because the recipient might use it immediately upon obtaining it, and because of the recipient's name.

A Qing!

They clearly remembered that previous diary entries had mentioned this person — a fearsome existence suspected to be a demigod.

Trying to snatch the "Resurrection Card" from such a person would probably be no less difficult than snatching "Ten Directions Annihilation" from Zhang Sanfeng himself.

Moreover, they still didn't even know where such an elusive figure was.

On the great grasslands of Mengzhou, A Qing stopped in her tracks and reached out to grab a card that had suddenly appeared before her eyes.

"So this is the 'Resurrection Card' — no matter how long a person has been dead, they can be brought back to life?"

Receiving the information, A Qing's clear eyes blazed with brilliance, her voice trembling slightly, her heart full of astonishment and excitement.

"With this, I can resurrect Sister Xi Shi!"

The moment A Qing's thought stirred, the "Resurrection Card" blazed with light all over, then dissolved into a shower of glowing specks.

At the same time, a strange phenomenon suddenly arose — wind rose and clouds surged all around, and countless streams of heaven and earth's spiritual energy gathered toward this spot.

A Qing watched wide-eyed as, with the infusion of spiritual energy, a human figure gradually took shape within that radiant shower of light.

At last, the shower of light dispersed, and heaven and earth gradually returned to calm.

An extraordinarily beautiful woman with an oval face came into view.

Her flower-like countenance was graceful and slender, her jade-like bearing elegant and poised; two vermilion lips were red without rouge, and a crescent-moon brow was verdant without penciling.

Her face was like the morning glow, her hair like dark clouds; her almond eyes were naturally closed, and she looked just like a painting of a begonia sleeping in spring.
