Chapter 831: Long Jingxian
Both the basilisk and Tie Lan were dumbfounded after seeing this. The girl ahead, or Long Jingxian, transformed too quickly. This was simply a different person.
Jian Wushuang was a bit speechless after seeing Long Jingxian’s appearance as well. She coldly gazed at her: “Long Jingxian, who doesn’t know that you have a bad temper? Stop pretending to be gentle before me.”
“Hmph, Jian Wushuang, that’s none of your business. Plus, even if I have a bad temper, it is still better than you pretending to be a phoenix!” Long Jingxian, at this time, had reverted back to her feisty demeanor from earlier. This shift in character and acting were astonishing.
“Pretending?” Jian Wushuang snorted: “Come try me then. Let’s see whether I am a real phoenix or just pretending to be one!” 1
“Hmph, what’s the big deal? Come then, it is not like I haven’t seen your archery before.” Long Jingxian immediately retorted with haste.
The smell of gunpowder filled the room after these two met; the atmosphere was incredibly tense. The others here, such as the basilisk and the old turtle, didn’t dare to say anything. Who would want to get involved in a feud between two mad women? They were better off running away to avoid being involved in this mess.
“If you two want to fight, then go outside. Don’t break someone else’s mansion.” Li Qiye smiled and leisurely told the two quarreling girls.
Long Jingxian looked over at Li Qiye then back at Jian Wushuang for a little bit before asking with a tinge of mischievousness: “Hey, what’s your relationship with Jian Wushuang?”
“Once again, my name is not hey, it is Li Qiye. A little miss needs to be polite. And my relationship with her has nothing to do with you.” Li Qiye leisurely answered.
Long Jingxian rolled her eyes with a touch of naughty playfulness and smiled: “Okay, okay, I know now. I’ll call you darling then.” 2
“Ugh.” Li Qiye got goosebumps from being addressed in this fashion, so he waved his sleeve dismissively: “No thanks, it sounds too nauseating. Either call me young master or Li Qiye. Who would want to be your darling?”
“Bah, nevermind then.” Long Jingxian snappily pouted. However, she immediately hid her temper and turned gentle again. She cheerfully smiled: “Young Noble Li, what is your relationship with Jian Wushuang?”
Both the basilisk and the old turtle felt chills running down their spines along with an ominous air after they saw her gentle appearance.
Li Qiye only smiled to this question: “What does it have to do with you?”
“Of course it matters to me.” Long Jingxian, with a rare moment of gentleness, revealed a smile pretty enough to sap the souls from people as she gently spoke: “If you are Jian Wushuang’s fiance, then I’ll definitely steal you from her so that the fake phoenix can wash her face with tears each day.”
After hearing this, the basilisk’s neck shrunk a bit as he murmured: “What… a domineering statement.”
“So it’s like that.” Li Qiye chuckled and gently shook his head: “Although I am not her fiance, it wouldn’t be that easy for you to marry me in the first place. Not just anyone can become my wife.”
“Hmph, what’s so special about you? Since you aren’t her fiance, I’m not interested anymore.” Long Jingxian immediately reverted her attitude back to the previously irritable one.
“Even if you are interested, I still wouldn’t marry you.” Li Qiye teased with a smile.
Long Jingxian became annoyed and glared at Li Qiye: “Oh? Our Young Master Li is so confident, wow. It is more like you wouldn’t be able to marry me! Do you know how many people would line up to marry me?”
This girl was very daring; she showed no signs of shyness at all. The topic of marriage seemed so trivial coming out from her mouth.
“Really now?” Li Qiye looked at her up and down: “Although you really are brilliant and outstanding in the current generation, you’re thinking too highly of yourself. I do have to admit that you have some abilities by understanding all the emperor laws from the Beastmaster Citadel along with other emperor laws from other sects. What’s even more extraordinary is that you have the supreme Immortal Fate! Perhaps no one in the entire Stone Medicine World could compare to you based on aptitude alone.”
“From the Beastmaster Citadel…” The old turtle paled and hid in his shell after hearing this.
“Immortal Fate, that, that is impossible.” Even the basilisk was frightened. He jumped and exclaimed: “How could that be? The Immortal Fate exists in this world?”
Anyone who was a cultivator knew that the Saint Fate was the limit for fate palaces. No one was born with an Immortal Fate.
