Cultivation: I Have a Golden Talisman
Chapter 190 - 13: A Journey of Three, Two Women Seek Their Husband
Cen San Niang’s expression turned cold, her anger barely contained. "To think he believed he could keep deceiving and toying with me with just a single letter. Once I capture him, I’ll definitely..."
As she spoke, she couldn’t help but recall all the wonderful moments from their recent past. The harsh words reached her lips, but she couldn’t bring herself to say them.
Tang Mengru murmured, "If he’s truly that kind of person, then we must imprison him to stop him from preying on other women."
"Exactly, that’s what we should do!" Cen San Niang nodded. "I asked you here today to come up with a plan." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
Tang Mengru was also a clever woman. After blinking her beautiful eyes, she understood Cen San Niang’s scheme. "You mean the Soul-Chasing Butterfly!"
Cen San Niang said, "Right now, the only way to find him is with the Soul-Chasing Butterfly from Taihao Mountain. We’ve been intimate with him so many times, his scent must still linger on us. If we can borrow the Soul-Chasing Butterfly before the scent fades, we can track him down."
Tang Mengru’s expression was complicated. She bit her red lip, remaining silent.
The Soul-Chasing Butterfly was a rare, wondrous insect, and there were only three of them on all of Taihao Mountain.
To borrow the butterfly, she would have to ask her partner, who was now an Elder of Taihao Mountain!
The thought of asking her own husband to borrow a Soul-Chasing Butterfly just to find her lover was utterly absurd.
Cen San Niang picked up the letter left by the Fierce Tiger Taoist and sighed. "A single encounter in the golden wind and jade dew surpasses countless meetings in the Mortal World..."
Tang Mengru said abruptly, "Come with me to Taihao Mountain."
...
「More than ten days later.」
High in the sky, outside the Dragon Spine Archipelago in the Abyssal Marsh.
A palm-sized, jade-green butterfly danced gracefully, flying toward the distant Yinluo Island.
Suddenly, the clear, pleasant ring of a Jade Chime sounded. The jade-green butterfly stopped instantly, then circled once before returning to a floating cloud behind it, a cloud as large as a mountaintop.
Within the mists, a Magnificent Jade Ship hung motionless. Two people stood aboard. One wore wide robes with long sleeves and a tall coronet, possessing a dashing air and handsome features.
The other, veiled in light gauze, was tall and graceful, with a gentle disposition.
The two gazed at the Yinluo Sect Mountain Gate before them, speechless for a long time.
"I never thought... He’s a member of the Yinluo Sect."
Cen San Niang stared ahead, her expression complicated and her brow tightly furrowed.
After their discussion that day, the two had traveled to Taihao Mountain to see Tang Mengru’s partner. When the man saw her return, he was overjoyed, thinking his beloved wife had forgiven him.
Upon learning the reason for their visit, the Taihao Mountain Elder didn’t hesitate. He used his connections and authority to quickly borrow a Soul-Chasing Butterfly for them.
Afterward, Cen San Niang and Tang Mengru returned to Divine Pillar Immortal City, where they first let the Soul-Chasing Butterfly find the Fierce Tiger Taoist’s lingering scent on their bodies.
They then followed the Soul-Chasing Butterfly all the way to the Abyssal Marsh.
At last, they arrived outside the Yinluo Sect Mountain Gate.
And based on the Soul-Chasing Butterfly’s reaction just now, it seemed the Fierce Tiger Taoist was still deep within the Yinluo Sect.
"A True Disciple of the Yinluo Sect." A resentful look surfaced in Tang Mengru’s beautiful eyes. "Let’s wait here for him to come out."
Cen San Niang shook her head. "There’s no need. The Soul-Chasing Butterfly should be returned as soon as possible. Besides, we both have our own responsibilities. We can’t just waste our time waiting here."
Tang Mengru opened her mouth to speak but hesitated. Cen San Niang scoffed, "Even if he does come out, what then? Are we supposed to kidnap him and drag him back to the Immortal City?"
Tang Mengru said, "We still have to confront him and demand a clear explanation."
Cen San Niang recalled her experiences with the Fierce Tiger Taoist and sneered, "During that period, there was only one True Disciple from the Yinluo Sect active near the Immortal City. I’d wager his real identity is most likely Suanni, one of the Ten Fiends of the Law Enforcement Hall!"
Her connection to Suanni had begun with the matter of the "Demon Buddha."
And after the Fierce Tiger Taoist entered the Cen Mansion, he also seemed to have some connection to the "Demon Buddha" incident.
Although he concealed it well, there were still clues to be found.
