Jiang Nuo went to train, so naturally, Mu Qiuniang wouldn’t just sit idle.
The last ti Jiang Nuo was lying next to her, and sothing happened, she didn’t think it was just a "coincidence." It wasn’t the first ti; the ti before last, when they were on their way back from filming, they almost had an accident. How long had it been since then, and sothing happened again?
Mu Qiuniang felt that soone was manipulating things behind the scenes.
But who was this person targeting, her or him? She wasn’t sure.
No matter who this person was, she would definitely not let them go.
The "Enchanting Soul Formation" involves setting up an array in advance along the path soone will take, to confuse them. So, as long as soone investigates Jiang Nuo’s outings, they can basically figure out his recent itinerary; considering his identity, this isn’t a very difficult task.
However, the "Soul Tempting Technique" is different. The caster of the "Soul Tempting Technique" is a cultivator, and this cultivator must obtain a personal item of the victim in advance. Clothes don’t count; it must be sothing that grows from the person’s body, like a nail or hair.
If it’s blood or flesh, that’s even better.
In other words, to cast the "Soul Tempting Technique" on Jiang Nuo, one must first obtain Jiang Nuo’s personal item.
And she’s been staying by Jiang Nuo’s side all this ti. If a cultivator approached, how could she not know? The female cultivator who cast the "Soul Tempting Technique" on Jiang Nuo, she indeed saw her for the first ti as well.
This ans there must be a "middleman" between the female cultivator and Jiang Nuo. So, who is this "middleman"?
It’s unknown how many people the "middleman" could be, but the person who can get close to Jiang Nuo and successfully obtain sothing from him is definitely an ordinary person and possibly soone they know.
Quickly, Mu Qiuniang locked her suspicion on soone—Lian Nicang.
This woman is Jiang Nuo’s admirer. She had appeared in front of Jiang Nuo before and grabbed his hair. With such obvious traits, it’s hard not to suspect her.
For soone with a high cultivation like her, she doesn’t need a personal item from the other person. She just needs their na, then she can calculate the person’s location (except if soone else interferes with it).
Mu Qiuniang coldly curled her lips, waved her water sleeves in front of her face, and turned into whirling white rose petals, disappearing into the air.
When she reappeared, it was on a flourishing balcony. Inside the sliding glass door, white chiffon fluttered in the breeze, accompanied by the soft tinkling of a bell.
There seed to be faint crying in the house: "Sob sob sob... sob sob..."
Wait, there’s a third "person."
"You lied to . You said, as long as I helped you get his hair, you’d make him fall in love with ..." Lian Nicang curled up on the living room sofa, sobbing, "You big liar! How could you go back on your word? How many days has it been? You’re telling you can’t do it now?"
Whenever she recalls that day, running like a madwoman to the man she loves, desperately asking him to give her a chance—acting like a hysterical shrew—she’s consud with regret.
"You damn thing! What exactly are you? Why did you possess ? Why..."
[What’s your problem? Crying so much. Are you annoyed?] Having just finished crying, Lian Nicang suddenly seed like another person, disdainfully wiping the tears off her face.
Then, like a Bai Lianhua, Lian Nicang began to cry pitifully again: "Annoyed, I’m annoyed! You ruined , do you know that? Do you know how much effort I’ve put in to get into the entertainnt industry and climb to where I am today? But you, you casually destroyed all my dreams..."
[Didn’t I do this for your own good? Look at you, stubbornly refusing, choosing to stay pure and untainted amidst the mud. It’s so tough to be a small-ti actress even struggling in the seventeenth or eighteenth rank, it pains to watch. So I wanted to help you out, find a big shot to cling to... look at the man I chose for you—handso, rich, and an international superstar. You wouldn’t lose a thing. Most importantly, you like him!] The other Lian Nicang was too lazy to wipe her tears, raising a finger with a flourish as she spoke.
"Sob sob sob..." As soon as the other one spoke like this, the other Lian Nicang regained control of the body, and cried even louder, "You’re such a big liar, you said you’d help , and this is how you help ? Jiang Nuo has a wife, doesn’t he? Going to his door late at night to confess, isn’t that insane?"
[Okay, okay, I didn’t expect Jiang Nuo to be like that. He won’t even take in a great beauty right in front of him, but insists on that old woman!]
"That’s his wife."
[Yes, yes, his wife. You really love everything that cos with him, huh? I can’t even ntion your love’s wife. What’s so good about him that you love him so deeply?]
"I just love him that much. What’s wrong with that?"
[If you love him that much, why don’t you say it to his face? Go confess.]
"He already has a wife, and thanks to the ss you made, his impression of must be terrible now. It’d be great if he doesn’t hate . How would I dare to run to him and confess?"
[Wasn’t I just trying to help you?]
"Don’t even ntion it! You were doing it for yourself, weren’t you? Don’t think I don’t know; you use my body to flirt with handso guys all the ti. You know I genuinely like him, yet you did this—because you’re afraid if we ever get together, I wouldn’t want to give the body back to you, right?"
[Oh, so you do know this is my body? I thought you forgot.]
"If this was my body, would I let you act so arrogantly? Long ago, I would have..."
[Would have what? Find a Taoist to get rid of ? Then should I find a Taoist to get rid of you? Hmm, that’s a good idea. Anyway, I’ve already entered the entertainnt industry. I’m young and pretty, I’m not afraid of not making money. As for you, you’re of no use to anymore...]
"You... you’re burning bridges!"
[So what if I am? What can you do about it?]
"I..." The weeping Lian Nicang suddenly said expressionlessly, "I can devour you!"
[You?] With disdain.
"!" Coldly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Lian Nicang’s body began to tremble, and it seed as though an intense struggle was happening, with her body contorting violently.
[You madwoman, you’re biting ?! Ah... it hurts so much!]
[Ah... let go! Let go!]
[You’re really planning to devour ?!]
...
Mu Qiuniang remained quietly standing outside, not stopping them. Besides, why would she stop them? A woman with evil intentions, having designs on her man—she’d be remiss not to kick her when she’s down.
Moreover...
Inside the house, the struggle between the two souls finally subsided. Lian Nicang’s mouth curled into a triumphant smile, flicking her tongue over her lips as if savoring a delicacy.
"A lonely wandering night ghost who can’t reincarnate, even indeed daring to devour a soul alive. Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
A voice echoed in the living room.
"Boom—"
As the voice fell, there was a thunderclap on a clear day, startling Lian Nicang inside the apartnt, causing her face to go pale. She quickly turned around to see a figure clad in black, standing in a corner of the living room without her knowing.
He wore a flowing black cloak and a black conical hat, concealing his figure entirely, making it impossible to discern gender.
"Is it you?"
"It’s ."
"Why are you here again? Last ti, I just did what you asked. Do you have another task for ?"
Outside, thunder rumbled, though it was clearly still broad daylight with not a cloud in the sky, the sudden thunderbolt shocked those unprepared, leaving a chill down their spine.
