Chapter 1093 - 600: Scheming Among Women, Truly Pathetic (Double-Length) (Part 2)

But in the current world, she had long stopped understanding it.

Even disrespecting the Heavenly Dao had become commonplace, and no matter what happened, she no longer wished to comprehend it.

Besides, saying that cultivation was not as good as a hundred years of marital bliss, Ah Qing was indeed qualified to say so.

Because she had nearly reached the end of the path of cultivation, so when Ah Qing looked back from the end, feeling that this journey was no better than a mortal’s century, that was her own insight.

It wasn’t something I could replicate.

Instinctively, Shi Qingjun felt that if she delved into Ah Qing’s heart, perhaps she would fall into the abyss together with her.

So Shi Qingjun gave up thinking.

"..."

After imagining herself living a hundred years of marital bliss with a husband like an ordinary girl, Ah Qing sighed softly.

The imagination is always beautiful.

How could a half-demon like her live a life of ease? Besides the person she met at this moment, who would be willing to accept a half-demon as a wife without taking concubines?

That’s why she really liked Young Master Xu.

Similarly, she also liked Yun Qian.

If Xu Chang’an seemed gentle but was actually hard to approach, then Yun Qian was exactly the opposite.

Miss Yun at first glance seemed hard to approach, unlike Xu Chang’an who always made people feel like a spring breeze, Yun Qian was surrounded by an aura of taboo, making people feel that merely stepping into her sight was a kind of offense.

Moreover, Yun Qian’s gaze was always calm, so calm it was indifferent, easily making people think she was heartless.

But only upon approaching did Ah Qing realize how charming Miss Yun was.

Beneath the indifference, there lay a tender heart and a slightly clumsy soul, and when running hand in hand with Yun Qian through the corridor, Ah Qing’s desire to protect Yun Qian nearly reached its peak, and when stared at by Yun Qian’s indifferent gaze, her heart pounded so vigorously it seemed to jump out of her throat.

At that moment, even when she confessed to Yun Qian that she was the Demon Cult Lady, the worst woman in the world... Yun Qian only nodded gently, asking her to slow down.

Such a woman...

She didn’t know who wouldn’t like her.

A husband who seems gentle but is actually distant.

A wife who seems distant but lets you feel the tenderness of her fingertips as soon as you hold her hand.

So Ah Qing gave up resisting.

She was madly in love with both Xu Chang’an and Yun Qian.

Giving up cultivation to love these two people, did this mean she had low horizons?

Not at all.

Since she had reached the end of this path, then what she deemed valuable wasn’t self-deception, but rather what was most worth her affection.

It was indeed peculiar.

When her horizon reached a certain height, it surprisingly looked so pathetic.

’If one day I could have a tea party with Miss Yun...’

Then she would be the most successful person.

Just thinking of those two people made Ah Qing’s face flushed as she glanced distantly at Xu Chang’an and Yun Qian on the high platform before turning her gaze back to Shi Qingjun.

Alright.

Now she truly had no feelings for this woman at all.

If it was just Xu Chang’an, she still placed some hope on Shi Qingjun, but once Yun Qian’s figure appeared in her mind, Shi Qingjun’s last refuge was also removed by her.

At this moment, in her eyes, Shi Qingjun was nothing but a threat.

’Perhaps... I should maintain a good relationship with Shi Qingjun?’

This idea suddenly popped up in Ah Qing’s mind.

No choice. From today on, her relationship with Shi Qingjun would undoubtedly head towards an unpredictable direction... who knows if Shi Qingjun would like those two charming individuals just as she did?

Ah Qing certainly didn’t want another competitor in love.

It’s known that although the entire Flower Moon Building was her competition, not one of those ladies dared to take action, An Ran included, was no threat, so right now, Ah Qing didn’t have one real competitor.

Shi Qingjun... was the greatest threat.

This woman was outrageously genuine, to an astonishing degree, and such sincerity made her goals extremely firm. Once she made up her mind, not even the Heavenly Dao could stop her.

Though Shi Qingjun stood at the righteous path’s forefront, in fact, she was not the typical righteous person—would a righteous person keep Wen Li under threat of a divine soul explosion for so many years of cultivation?

It was just that Wen Li’s Sword Dao had nothing to do with her, so she didn’t care.

Ah Qing knew Shi Qingjun too well.

In Shi Qingjun’s eyes, only her purpose mattered, everything else was inconsequential, and it was impossible to reason with such a woman, so if Shi Qingjun really developed a mortal heart, it would be troublesome.

Shi Qingjun’s methods likely wouldn’t be as gentle as hers, and she might go to any lengths just to win over Young Master Xu.

[Find a way to approach her.]

Ah Qing thought to herself.

She wasn’t clear on anything else, but it was evident that for now, Shi Qingjun didn’t have romantic feelings for Xu Chang’an... so she still had a chance to monitor this woman.

Thinking like this, meeting frequently with Shi Qingjun afterward at Flower Moon Building might be a good thing.

It was the first time that Ah Qing, who had always avoided Shi Qingjun, wanted to actively approach her.

Even if it meant dancing for Shi Qingjun... it didn’t matter.

Only by getting close to Shi Qingjun could she receive first-hand information and better protect Xu Chang’an and Yun Qian.

Yes, it was for Yun Qian’s protection...

Miss Yun wouldn’t get jealous, but since she liked her, she should find ways to eliminate threats while still in their cradle.

"Phew..."

Exhaling gently, Ah Qing stared at Shi Qingjun, a self-sacrificing sentiment welling up in her heart.

"...?"

Shi Qingjun blinked, being stared at by Ah Qing.

"Don’t look at me like that." Ah Qing clicked her tongue, turned her head, and said, "If you want to come and listen to melodies in the future, just come, and... if you make me happy, sharing some of his information with you isn’t impossible."

She was just saying it whimsically.

How could she possibly know Xu Chang’an?

The man was a mystery in her eyes.

But she was aware that Shi Qingjun would surely be interested in this, so it was a good reason to approach her.

"His information?"

Just as Ah Qing expected, Shi Qingjun paused, then nodded, "Indeed, you understand his mystery better than I do."

"Who knows." Ah Qing shrugged, then squinted her eyes, casually stating, "For instance, the Thunder Tribulation related to him, haven’t you also been sealed from cultivation?"

Shi Qingjun: "..."

Oops.

Ah Qing immediately realized she misspoke.

She shouldn’t have mentioned the White Jade Thunder Tribulation from a few days ago; her tone immediately exposed her uncertainty about whether the White Jade Thunder Tribulation was caused by Xu Chang’an or Shi Qingjun breaking through.

She should have tempered her words before speaking.

But to Ah Qing’s surprise, Shi Qingjun just fell silent for a while, her gaze becoming much more serious.

"Tribulation Thunder, you indeed know more than I do." Shi Qingjun said, shaking her head.

She sensed that Ah Qing’s words were probing, but it didn’t matter; she wasn’t intending to hide anything. So she remained silent.

It was sort of an acknowledgment.

Because Shi Qingjun knew that if it were Ah Qing in her place, she wouldn’t have guessed the tribulation thunder related to Xu Chang’an either... Ah Qing being able to guess indicated she indeed understood Xu Chang’an better than she did.

Apparently, it was necessary to form a genuine connection with Ah Qing.

Yes, it was women’s mutual scheming... although it seemed really unambitious.

’Huh...?’

Ah Qing herself was momentarily stunned.

That terrifying White Jade Thunder Tribulation...

Was indeed Young Master’s doing?!

She had just mentioned it casually... unexpectedly, Shi Qingjun responded.

Right now, just thinking of the tribulation thunder that could seal all cultivation made Ah Qing deeply shocked and surprised.

Indeed.

If something so fearsome was ascribed to Shi Qingjun, she originally wouldn’t have believed it.

But if it were Xu Chang’an, she would believe it.

Even Dao Rhyme is no match for a mere breath, let alone any Celestial Tribulation?

Could it be that the Young Master is truly the Heavenly Dao Incarnation?
