Chapter 1359: Chapter 186: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
"What? You want me to seduce other men?" Hu Linglong was so frightened that her face turned pale.
She shook her head desperately.
Although she was born in the Sky Fox Tribe, and relying on her youth and beauty, she had indeed seduced many suitors, but those were merely a façade; she had never had a relationship with a man.
Dugu Xiu had earlier promised to let her be with Lu, which she reluctantly agreed to, cooperating with his plan.
But he actually wanted her to behave like a shameless woman and sleep with someone; Hu Linglong absolutely would not agree.
"I only want Lu, I have no interest in anyone else." Hu Linglong bit her lip tightly.
"What if I say the man I want you to accompany is Yun Shengâs man, and that man is equal to Lu in terms of appearance, status, and power? Would you change your mind?" Dugu Xiu sneered, as he had seen through this woman, Hu Linglong.
Her so-called infatuation with Lu was nothing more than an attraction to his status and power.
Hu Linglongâs heart fluttered.
Yun Shengâs man?
Did she hear wrong?
Hu Linglong indeed had feelings for Lu, but just as Dugu Xiu said, she was willing to flirt with any good-looking, powerful man.
Just like when she first met Dugu Xiu, she had tried to flirt with him; however, Dugu Xiuâs cruelty and coldness made Hu Linglong timid.
"You donât have to deceive me. On this continent, besides you... and the Di Clanâs Zi, who else compares to Lu." Hu Linglongâs voice weakened, and her eyes began to waver, indicating she was already hesitant.
Dugu Xiu and Zi were not people Hu Linglong could provoke, so she dared not have any thoughts about them.
"That man is the Beast God Altarâs High Priestâs closed-door disciple, named Ye Beiming. He also has another identity, Yun Shengâs husband. They married on the Wuji Continent but, for certain reasons, have not consummated their marriage. Think about it, if you could steal Yun Shengâs man from her, how do you think she would react?" Dugu Xiuâs words made Hu Linglong itch with curiosity.
So Yun Sheng turned out to be married, yet she dared to flirt with Lu.
However, if the said man was truly the closed-door disciple of the Beast God Altarâs High Priest, then his status would be different.
Especially when Hu Linglong thought she could flaunt Yun Shengâs man in front of her, that thought made Hu Linglong waver even more.
"But Iâve never met that man, and you said Iâm completely different from Yun Sheng; he probably wonât be fooled." Hu Linglong was already seventy to eighty percent convinced by Dugu Xiuâs words.
"This matter, donât worry. I naturally have ways to make you sleep with Ye Beiming. Tomorrow night, Iâll figure out how to get Ye Beiming to come here. Remember, donât try any tricks, or I guarantee you and your father and your family will die miserably." Dugu Xiu turned and left after speaking.
Hu Linglong was still filled with terror.
"Damn Dugu Xiu, once I truly hook up with the High Priestâs closed-door disciple, the first person Iâll kill is you." After a while, she brushed her unsettled chest with her hand and spoke.
After leaving the rockery, Dugu Xiuâs face showed a meaningful smile.
Upon learning the method to break the Ancient Forbidden Curse, he had a thought: to use Hu Linglong to break the curse on himself but then immediately thought of a better idea.
Which was to let Hu Linglong impersonate Yun Sheng, to lure Ye Beiming.
Dugu Xiu remembered Yun Sheng once said she wanted a man who would be her one and only, belonging only to her.
Until today, Dugu Xiu believed the reason Yun Sheng did not choose him was because he was already married with children.
But if Ye Beiming had relations with another woman, especially a woman as detested by Yun Sheng as Hu Linglong, everything would be different.
As the saying goes, the deeper the love, the harsher the blame; Dugu Xiu recognized Yun Sheng as someone who loved strongly and hated strongly.
If he could take Yun Sheng to catch them in the act, once she saw it with her own eyes, she would probably hate Ye Beiming thoroughly.
Dugu Xiu could also use Ye Beiming to confirm whether the High Priestâs claimed curse-breaking method was truly feasible.
There were Heavenly Fox women everywhere, easy to grab one
Just Hu Linglong alone could stir trouble between Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming, while also breaking the Ancient Forbidden Curseâtruly a brilliant twofold plan.
Thinking of this, Dugu Xiu was already impatiently waiting for tomorrow to come.
On the second day of the competition, after reuniting with Ye Beiming, Yun Sheng appeared spirited, her smile rising unconsciously.
This made Lu Yunshuang very curious.
"Yun Sheng, you seem in an exceptionally good mood today?" Lu Yunshuang asked curiously.
"Hmph, itâs just about winning a point, whatâs there to be proud of." Yu Shang, observing from a side, mocked.
"Better than some people who havenât scored a single point." Yun Sheng glanced at Yu Shang, who indeed was too low-key in this competition.
For someone else, it might still be understandable, but Yu Shangâs condition was somewhat unusual.
"After today, youâll see, Iâll be the first to enter the core competition." Yu Shang looked contemptuously at Yun Sheng.
"That woman speaks so yin-yang, constantly missing at nights these few days, probably plotting some scheme." Lu Yunshuang said, unlucky to have been assigned to a room with Yu Shang.
The two naturally had no fondness for one another, but were forced by the Clan Leaderâs presence to bear with regarding the other as air.
Yet these days, Yu Shang was always absent at night, Lu Yunshuang suspected she was up to something no good.
"Donât worry, with so many eyes watching at the Eight Desolate Clan Competition, even if Yu Shang had immense abilities, she couldnât pull off any tricks." Yun Sheng and Lu Yunshuang entered the Heavenly Fox tent.
At this moment, they both noticed that beside the nearby Kirin Tribeâs tent, another tent had been added.
Yesterday, the tent was absent, but this morning it had been hastily erected.
"I heard yesterday, people from the Beast God Altar arrived, the High Priest of the Beast God Altar brought his newly accepted closed-door disciple to participate in this core competition." Hu Qianqiu, well-informed, had heard that the Beast God Altar had arrived.
"Now itâs troublesome, with people from the Beast God Altar showing up, the core competitionâs difficulty will surely increase." The warriors of the Sky Fox Tribe complained.
"Beast God Altar?" Yu Shang was a bit unfamiliar with the name; during her era, the Beast God Altar hadnât risen yet.
The other Beast Clans had also received the news and were discussing it eagerly.
At that moment, Hei Linlin and several people from the Beast God Altar arrived.
