Chapter 2142 - 2138: Leaving Coastal City
Qingfeng Ziyun’s voice carried an enchanting tone, causing the eyes of the companion who was only at the Qi Refinement Realm to become dazed. He slowly stood up and approached Qingfeng Ziyun.
Unlike before, Qingfeng Ziyun discovered that today her strength was progressing extraordinarily fast. This feeling was akin to having taken the Ascension Divine Pill from the Five Poison Valley.
Her mother had mentioned to her that although the Ascension Pill could refine the poison within the body, it also had strong corrosive effects on the body.
Could it be that the poison within me is already beyond my control?
Qingfeng Ziyun’s eyes narrowed as the poison inside her indeed erupted, directly enveloping the companion with a dazed expression.
The companion didn’t even have time to scream before turning to ashes. Just as Qingfeng Ziyun cursed under her breath at the interruption, someone grabbed her and pinned her onto the bed.
"Who dares to be so presumptuous within the Wu Family’s villa?"
Qingfeng Ziyun cursed inwardly, but the turbulence of power within her body and the resonance with the cultivation technique made her instinctively moan.
"What a fine furnace. Who are you? How did you manage to run into Ziyun Pavilion from inside the Thousand Poison and Demon Array? Tell me, I want to keep you by my side forever, I will treat you well. From now on, I only want you, okay?"
Qingfeng Ziyun embraced Tang Ming’s back.
Tang Ming, however, closed his eyes in enjoyment. The Thousand Evil Poison Technique was indeed one of the most suitable for dual cultivation. Rather than saying he was Qingfeng Ziyun’s furnace, it would be better to say Qingfeng Ziyun was his furnace. His gains this time were no less than Qingfeng Ziyun’s, and likely more.
Tang Ming had a feeling that if he stayed at the Wu Family’s villa for a year, he might smoothly enter the Golden Core Stage.
It’s worth knowing that if not for a very special cultivation technique, a cultivator at the Golden Core Stage could already become a general in the Qingfeng Dynasty.
"Have your brother get out of Coastal City."
Tang Ming’s hoarse voice sounded in Qingfeng Ziyun’s ear.
Qingfeng Ziyun instantly became alert, her eyes narrowed, and her whole hand turned purple-black: "You are Tang Ming, how dare you sneak into the Wu Family’s villa to take advantage of me, you’re seeking death."
"Just now you wanted me not to leave, to stay by your side forever. You, woman, are truly uninteresting."
Tang Ming’s body leaped backward and landed at the loft doorway.
Qingfeng Ziyun quickly pulled away the curtain and grabbed the Treasure Sword hanging on the wall, chasing after Tang Ming.
Outside the loft, insect chirps and bird calls echoed, poisonous mist permeated the air.
Tang Ming’s pupils narrowed: "Surely an evil woman. Do you think you can keep me here?"
"Whether you can, also depends on your abilities. I’m quite inclined to imprison you here. If you manage to escape, I don’t mind you frequently visiting here."
Qingfeng Ziyun smiled charmingly.
Tang Ming snorted coldly: "Qingfeng Ziyun, you should know you can’t stop me with this. Have your brother leave Coastal City, otherwise, you’ll never see me again."
Tang Ming’s body flickered away in the poisonous mist.
Qingfeng Ziyun didn’t make a move; her gaze fixed on the poisonous mist, her eyes full of longing for Tang Ming.
"Such a perfect man. Although his strength is slightly lacking, he’s the most compatible with me. Qingfeng Can, you annoying fellow, shouldn’t have come to Coastal City."
Qingfeng Ziyun turned around, dressed, and walked out towards the loft courtyard.
When Tang Ming returned to his room in the courtyard of Qingfeng Ziyun’s residence, the sky was already bright. He sat on the bed, practicing breathing exercises, indeed improving significantly after the previous dual cultivation with Qingfeng Ziyun using the Thousand Evil Poison Technique.
"Zhuangjia, are you up yet? You’re just incorrigible, got me drunk yesterday then threw me into the kitchen. This morning I woke up with a sore waist and ached back. Come help me organize the materials."
Li He’s voice came from outside the door, and Tang Ming replied and got off the bed.
It was rare for Qingfeng Ziyun to dress up. She seemed particularly dignified when she arrived at the front living room in the morning.
Both Wu Ying and Qingfeng Can were a bit dazed seeing her appearance. They both understood. Surely Qingfeng Ziyun was very satisfied last night. So this morning she was like this.
Wu Ying secretly gritted his teeth but dared not speak angrily. Only Bai Mammy, standing behind Qingfeng Ziyun, was aware that Qingfeng Ziyun had sucked dry two more companions last night.
If this continues, it’s likely that the Wu Family villa will have to recruit a batch of guards again soon.
"Look at sister, you must be in a good mood."
Qingfeng Can glanced at Wu Ying and spoke.
The smile on Qingfeng Ziyun’s face instantly vanished: "Certainly, but now that I’ve seen you, I’m not as pleased. That Tang Ming must have already escaped. You’re still stubbornly staying in Coastal City, why? Get out early, don’t make it hard for your brother-in-law."
Qingfeng Can snorted coldly, but a faint smile appeared on Wu Ying’s face. Qingfeng Ziyun rarely showed him face, but this time, Qingfeng Ziyun actually said this—might her affection have budded in light of their dual cultivation amidst poison?
"Qingfeng Can, your sister is right. You’ve been in Coastal City two days now. Tang Ming showed his face the first day and then disappeared. He’d have to be an idiot to remain in Coastal City, so you should hurry to find his traces."
Wu Ying moved closer to Qingfeng Ziyun.
A hint of disgust flashed in Qingfeng Ziyun’s eyes, but she allowed him to wrap his arm around her slender waist.
Li He came back at noon, telling Tang Ming about the relationship between Qingfeng Can and Qingfeng Ziyun. Qingfeng Can leaving without Qingfeng Ziyun even trying to keep him.
Tang Ming chuckled inwardly. Qingfeng Can leaving must have been Qingfeng Ziyun pushing him away; she was eager for Qingfeng Can to leave so she could have company at night. How could she possibly try to keep Qingfeng Can?
Tang Ming couldn’t share these thoughts with Li He, so he only could add some spices to Qingfeng Ziyun’s evening dish.
Day after day, time passed quickly, and before long, a month had gone by.
During the day, Tang Ming stayed in the Wu Family’s villa kitchen, learning cooking from Li He. At night, he secretly went to Qingfeng Ziyun’s loft to satisfy her.
Due to Tang Ming, Qingfeng Ziyun no longer needed companions and seldom slept with Wu Ying, making it easier for Wu Ying to purge internal poison.
"Second Young Master, I’ve investigated the matter you asked me to. Indeed, someone visits the loft where the Young Madam stays at night."
Under the pitch-black robe, a pair of blood-red eyes shone eerily.
Opposite the dark-robed person, Wu Ying’s hands began to tremble: "Do you know who that man is?"
