My Enemy Became My Cultivation Companion
Chapter 1131 - 627: Except for Killing Me (Double - )_2
One adopts the role of the good cop, while the other plays the bad cop. Ordinary women often can’t withstand this tactic, and are quickly deceived. Chen Yi is quite experienced in this regard.
Even if seen through, so what? Most of the time, the opponent simply goes along with the act, going with the flow.
Chen Yi knows that such thoughts are rather cunning, but in matters like this, he is always unscrupulous. If he can’t get what he desires, he must obtain it by any means.
It was the same when breaking Zhou Yitang’s sword, and it’s the same now. Chen Yi’s nature has never changed; just through the passage of time, his actions have become more circuitous and mild.
He originally thought that by now, Qin Qingluo would have seen clearly and would lower her head accordingly. Then he, as the "live-in son-in-law," could rightfully remain in the Prince Mansion. Unexpectedly, the tall woman merely said indifferently:
"Ancestor, I have nothing to say, nor have I anything to argue. This person is nothing but a ruthless and unfaithful bitch, unworthy of trust."
As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Xuzhi’s face turned as dark as iron,
"Why do you say that?! You truly can’t argue back? Today is merely a family affair! You act so arrogantly even in family matters, not knowing your faults, how will you rule and govern the world in the future?! I have spoken at length with this young man, if he were not a dragon among humans, an outstanding son-in-law, and a good match for both you and our Qin Family, why would I question you?!"
Now Qin Qingluo had nothing to say, she approached silence, a state of being unable to express her feelings, Chen Yi understood it was time to showcase true skill.
Chen Yi tightened the muscles on his face, striving to present a calm expression, complex struggles were evident in his eyes, and he appeared to be making every effort to maintain composure.
Silently, he shielded her from the Ancestor, giving Qin Qingluo a deep glance, filled with nostalgia, longing, compassion, and emotion, yet devoid of resentment.
The tall woman raised her head, returning his gaze, but only contained resentment, none of the wistfulness, longing, or regret.
Chen Yi blinked, feeling an inexplicable thump in his heart.
In the next instant, a flash of purple lightning struck down without warning, even the initial motion was almost imperceptible.
Big matters should be taken lightly while small matters should be thunderous, Qin Qingluo understood this.
Going along with the flow, seizing the opportunity, she knew it well.
However, she refused.
Turning black into white, distorting truth, Chen Yi is a bitch,
Why submit to a bitch?
No roar, no dazzling glow. Only a sharp whistle tearing through the air.
Qin Qingluo flicked her wrist, the spear in her hand transformed into a purple-black shadow that ripped through the air, stabbing directly at Chen Yi’s throat.
Fast! Fierce! Accurate!
The killing move was utterly pure, without any embellishment, aimed solely at death.
Qin Qingluo had seen his pupils contract, his facial expression froze at that moment.
But he struck swiftly, even faster.
Clang!
A deafening clash of metal erupted.
Chen Yi’s left hand moved so quickly it left afterimages, he formed a sword with his fingers, blocking precisely at his throat, the broken spear purple lightning fiercely jabbed at his fingertips, sparks flew, and piercing sound waves surged.
An immense force reverberated through his fingers, Chen Yi’s arm trembled, his expression slightly tense.
She was indeed different from ordinary women.
She truly wanted him dead.
Qin Qingluo’s thrust was blocked, her gaze grew colder, not giving him a chance to draw his sword, she exerted force from her feet, twisting her waist and hips, power transmitted instantly to her arms, the heavy broken spear purple lightning in her hand came alive, taking advantage of the rebound force from the collision, the spear body executed a strange twist and sway, instantly turning from stab to sweep.
The heavy spear pole swept ferociously at Chen Yi’s waist, with such force that if it landed, it would be enough to break a person in half.
Chen Yi had just steadied himself, the gust had reached his waist,
Clang!
Another deafening roar, the gust whirled wildly, the purple lightning abruptly halted as if smashing into an invisible sword qi, Qin Qingluo seemed to explode with a killing instinct, exchanging several blows in just a few steps, sword qi blocked left and right, metal clanged.
Layer upon layer of spear engaged in urgent turn, the female prince suddenly struck, her swift moves caught even Qin Xuzhi off guard, unable to voice a warning as all this happened in a mere instant, for she moved faster than her spear.
Like a purple shadow without form, suddenly bursting forth, like an iron tower shattering thick sword qi, the broken spear purple lightning in her hand once more turned into a flash.
This occurred within the span of an arm’s distance, nearly a guaranteed strike.
Chen Yi’s gaze condensed slightly.
Qin Qingluo did not hesitate, just as the spear edge was about to pierce Chen Yi, suddenly, the scene before her eyes spread like a large blot of ink.
In her bloodthirsty state, she was oblivious to the surrounding changes until Chen Yi’s figure mysteriously disappeared from sight, only then did her mind settle.
A chilling sensation came from beneath her feet.
Qin Qingluo suddenly "stood still," and looked down.
This is...water?
The water surface was smooth as a mirror, reflecting the equally pitch-black sky and a pale full moon above, fir trees standing all around.
She did not know when she had arrived here, nor did she know if this was yet another layer of dreamlike illusion.
"Qin Qingluo."
His voice came, Qin Qingluo turned her head toward the direction of his voice, she was about to raise her hand but realized her hand was empty.
Her spear was gone.
His sword was gone too.
Here, there was only water, the moon, and the two of them.
"Now," Chen Yi’s voice echoed in the space, carrying an echo, "it’s just us."
......
"Qin Qingluo, let’s not continue with you killing me, and me killing you." Chen Yi chuckled, his laughter tinged with helplessness, "How about we...have a good chat?"
