Chapter 665: Stay Out of Fairy Business (24)
Mo Yuhuai transformed into his true form to absorb the Demonic Qi at the Demon Abyss, while Qiann Yan sat outside to enhance her cultivation.
Xuan Shuang would occasionally go outside to check on Lann Zhen and the others, and upon returning, would sit quietly in contemplation.
Time slipped away unnoticed, and decades passed in a flash, though in the heavens only a few days had gone by.
This day, Xuan Shuang returned and saw that Qiann Yan had awakened from meditation. She hurried to her, whispering, "Elder Sister, Jiangg Yao has only a breath left."
Over the years, Xuan Shuang often checked on those people outside, fully aware of what befell Jiangg Yao, and she briefly recounted Jiangg Yao’s plight to Qiann Yan.
Jiangg Yao’s immortal power and Spiritual Pearl, taken away by Qiann Yan, left her struggling in the brothel, finally realizing how difficult it was for a woman to escape that place. She experienced the hardships of mortal women firsthand.
Previously, relying on her Fairy status, she never saved money, leading a life of extreme difficulty, and if not for her beautiful face, she would have suffered even more.
At first, she hoped Cui Xinyi would redeem her, stubbornly refusing other patrons, waiting for him. Seeing this, the Madam pretended to relay a message that Cui Xinyi had passed his exams and married, never intending to redeem her.
After waiting a long time, and indeed finding Cui Xinyi did not come, she resigned herself to meeting other patrons, ultimately taken away by a wealthy playboy to escape her plight, only to serve as the lowest concubine due to her brothel girl status.
Later, she learned the Madam had deceived her, so she used her saved Silver Coin to look for information about Cui Xinyi, eventually finding it.
Cui Xinyi had indeed passed his exams, but already had a beautiful wife at home.
She remained unwilling to accept this and found a chance to meet him, questioning why he hadn’t honored his promise.
Cui Xinyi said to her, "I didn’t realize before that actors are truly heartless. After I returned home and married, I never forgot you, planning to redeem you, only to find you with Mr. Lee."
Cui Xinyi accused her of being fickle and promiscuous.
Jiangg Yao accused Cui Xinyi of marrying upon returning home instead of redeeming her first, breaking his previous promise. If not for that, how could she have hastily agreed to Mr. Lee?
At this, Cui Xinyi retorted, "You came from the brothel; I didn’t mind your origins and even planned to redeem you, not out of affection, but to give you a quiet life. Yet you dared to imagine becoming my legitimate wife, utterly clueless. A brothel girl as my wife, wouldn’t that disgrace me entirely?"
At this moment, Jiangg Yao realized that Cui Xinyi’s supposed indifference truly stemmed from disdain for the brothel girls. His promise of redemption was not what she imagined.
In his heart, he always looked down upon these women of the trade, and she, blind to this, fell for him, sacrificing her Fairy status, ending up in such a situation, utterly regretting it.
Her secret meeting with Cui Xinyi eventually reached Mr. Lee, causing him to fall out of favor with her, and she lived a lonely life in the rear courtyard.
Cui Xinyi’s life was not peaceful, filled with ups and downs, coming close to death many times, yet miraculously surviving.
Jiangg Yao long had no feelings for him, hoping Qiann Yan would find her or that her mortal life would soon end, so she could return to the Immortal Realm.
Indeed, Jiangg Yao still believed she could return to the Immortal Realm after death, dismissing Qiann Yan’s prior warnings as mere intimidation.
