Storytelling is Chen Guanshui’s strong suit.
Although the martial prowess ceiling in this world is high, there is ultimately no internet, and people haven’t experienced an information explosion. Therefore, their understanding of things is lacking—for example, Shi Liuli, whose mind is indeed sharp, but her experience is limited, so she can sotis be easily fooled.
Chen Guanshui started his story from when he was still a mortal, about how he stumbled upon the Kunlun Mirror and learned that this world had only a little over a thousand years left, and thus inadvertently embarked on the path to save the world...
"Wait." Shi Liuli suddenly interrupted him, "She said the world is on the brink of destruction, and you believed her?"
"What else could I do?" Chen Guanshui shrugged and said, "Don’t forget, I was just a mortal at the ti."
Shi Liuli remained silent, thinking it wasn’t surprising.
There are so many mortals. If Chen Guanshui refused to believe, this Jade Pond comrade could simply find another... Anyway, eventually she would find soone who believed.
"And then what?" Shi Liuli asked softly.
"Then, I went wherever there were fragnts of the Heaven-nding Stone," Chen Guanshui sighed, "I had no choice, after all, she was just a mirror back then."
"Wait a mont." Shi Liuli finally realized sothing was wrong, "You said that Jade Pond comrade..."
"She was actually the artifact spirit of a magical treasure in human form," Chen Guanshui said.
It took Shi Liuli about a minute to finally digest this fact.
So it was an Innate Spiritual Treasure... No, this is still utterly absurd, isn’t it?
A grand Innate Spiritual Treasure, instead of leaving with those ancient powers, doesn’t stay in so Immortal Sect’s hidden refuge waiting to be discovered, but runs around the world looking for a Savior?
And if not for your artifact spirit causing trouble, how could my husband have entangled with so many female immortals from other sects!
Shi Liuli instinctively blad the Kunlun Mirror, her impression of this Jade Pond comrade worsening considerably.
However, on second thought, if not for the Kunlun Mirror’s arrangent, she wouldn’t have t her husband. In a way, this artifact spirit was also a matchmaker for the two of them.
After her father fell, Shi Liuli was indeed despondent for quite so ti. Fortunately, her husband was there to accompany her, helping her barely erge from life’s predicant.
If her husband hadn’t been there at the ti... she didn’t even dare contemplate such a possibility.
At this mont, Shi Liuli felt extrely conflicted, unsure whether the Kunlun Mirror was a benefactor or an adversary.
"And about you in Kunlun, and over in Shushan, what’s that all about?" she continued to ask.
"It was much the sa as in Penglai," Chen Guanshui answered.
At this, Shi Liuli felt a surge of anger again and coldly said:
"I heard that Kunlun’s Changgeng and Qiong Ying are known as the perfect couple, praised as a match made in heaven. I wonder what’s with that?"
Chen Guanshui was greatly embarrassed, feeling a guilty conscience as if caught cheating by his wife, and could only mumble:
"The Xu Family of Southern Heaven proposed a marriage, and the Ziwei Master vouched for it. What was I supposed to do? I was only at the Foundation Establishnt Realm at that ti."
"Foundation Establishnt Realm..." Shi Liuli was montarily speechless, then argued, "Couldn’t you refuse just because you were at the Foundation Establishnt Realm? Don’t you have any independent thought? Your master asked you to marry soone, so you married them? Did you not even consider at all?"
"Liuli, could there be a possibility," Chen Guanshui cautiously said, "that at that ti, we were just ordinary senior and junior disciples?"
Shi Liuli was once again left speechless, but the anger in her chest not only didn’t extinguish but burned even more furiously.
So you t that Qiong Ying first, and I turned out to be the later cor, right?!
She focused on channeling magic to adjust the furnace fire, without speaking. Chen Guanshui, seeing her expression, realized he had stepped on a landmine and also dared not speak, rely working silently.
Seeing that he didn’t try to console her, Shi Liuli grew angrier as she thought about it, and after enduring for a quarter of an hour, she felt like she was about to explode.
She didn’t know how long had passed before she managed to suppress her anger and jotted a ntal note against her husband again, then began contemplating her situation.
Although the more she thought about it, the more nauseating it felt, it’s ultimately the reality: the Xu Family of Southern Heaven is prominent and powerful, and that Qiong Ying is very strong, her looks are also exceptionally beautiful, not inferior to her in any aspect.
If forced to choose one among the crowd, what chance did she stand?
Thinking of this, a sense of crisis spontaneously arose from deep within her heart.
"Husband..." Shi Liuli suddenly asked softly, "Did you... have that with her?"
"Uh." Chen Guanshui hesitated for a mont before understanding what she was referring to, "No, we didn’t."
In Daoist cultivation, preserving the Yuan Yang and Yuan Yin is valued, regardless of whether one knows the Dual Cultivation Technique, so Shi Liuli silently breathed a sigh of relief.
If that’s the case, it still ans there’s room for maneuver.
When her husband was playing Kunlun’s Changgeng, although he ford a Daoist Companion with that Qiong Ying, their feelings now don’t seem deep, so even at the Feather Courtyard Gate’s hidden realm, he hadn’t recognized her.
As for the other two, Shushan’s Jiao Xiao isn’t even a Daoist Companion, nothing to fear; the Mortal Life Path’s demon is a Heavenly Demon, how could she be with soone, no need to worry about that.
To surpass that Kunlun Qiong Ying, on one hand, should leverage the current first-mover advantage. On the other hand... should she consider having a child?
This idea seed extraordinarily absurd to Shi Liuli as soon as it appeared.
After all, many cultivators form Daoist Companions, but few ultimately choose to have offspring, usually only when their relationship has developed to that stage do they consider having a child.
Now with such an idea in her mind, it’s like those common folk playing the ludicrous "mother rises with the child" trick... She’s a cultivator, when did she stoop to this level?
