Chapter 150: Chapter 150 Be a Good Person in the Next Life

"Nezha’s affair?"

Li Jing’s eyebrows rose, as the words he was about to hurl in fury and chase the girl in front of him out, were swallowed back.

"Yes, Nezha’s affair."

"What does Nezha’s affair have to do with you?"

Li Jing had sought the Dao in his early years, read poetry and literature, knew propriety and righteousness, failed in his quest for immortality, made peace with Shi Ji, and then descended the mountain to become an official.

In the past, he had coveted Lv Ping for her beauty, and she him for his wealth; he knew well that their relationship was nothing but mutual exploitation, but after all, humans are not heartless like grass and trees.

Yet it was because he had developed feelings, that he felt even more disgust at this moment.

Every time he saw Lv Ping, it was like looking into a mirror.

This mirror laid bare his own ugly, hypocritical face, impossible to conceal, making Li Jing restless, and at a loss for what to do.

With a sneer, Lv Ping seemed to have resigned to her fate, saying, "Of course Nezha’s affair is none of my business, but having heard of it, I pondered and thought that the one who would be most interested would surely be you, Master, so here I am."

"What do you want to do?" Li Jing’s eyebrows furrowed deeply.

"I want to trade this news for a sum of money, with which I’ll go to Xiqi and from then on, you and I shall part ways forever, neither meeting again in life nor death."

Li Jing listened in silence, then after a long while, he said, "Why bother."

Lv Ping felt even more pain in her heart.

She knew Li Jing very well, so she deliberately spoke this way, and she also knew that Li Jing had already weighed the options in his heart.

"It’s not a matter of whether it’s worth the bother. I am human, naturally, I also want to change my way of living, don’t I? After all, I am still young."

"If you can see things clearly, that’s good. Rest assured, regardless of what the news is today, after all the sentiment between us, I, Li Jing will definitely not shortchange you."

Not shortchange me?

When I washed hundreds of clothes from morning to night in freezing cold, falling sick from overwork, nearly dying from chill and pleading with you for medicine, you turned a blind eye and a deaf ear.

And now you’re saying these words here.

Li Jing, oh Li Jing, is it necessary for you to put on such an act in front of me? How utterly hypocritical!

Lv Ping couldn’t help but scream inside, but the colder her expression became, the more indifferent her face seemed, and with a trembling voice, she said, "Come closer."

Li Jing, with a stern expression, indeed leaned in upon hearing this.

Then, Lv Ping drew a bright silver dagger from her waist and fiercely stabbed it towards his heart.

"Why... why would you do this to me?"

At that moment, Lv Ping’s tears could no longer be held back.

"Despicable... despicable woman!"

Li Jing was furious, his hand tightly clenching Lv Ping’s wrist, looking at the dagger that had penetrated his own garment, feeling an immense terror rushing to his crown.

"Who put you up to this!"

"Who put me up to this? You are treacherous and unfaithful, heaven itself wants to take you!"

"Heaven wants to take me?"

Li Jing looked at the tear stains on Lv Ping’s face and suddenly laughed out loud.

His other hand tremblingly reached out, gently wiped the moist droplets from the corner of her eye, then looking at the mist in her eyes, he said in a deep voice, "Your make-up has run."

Hearing these words, Lv Ping’s heart trembled once more.

"You have always been foolish, and you are foolish now."

"You are a foolish and greedy person. When you were a concubine, you deludedly wished to be the mistress, not realizing that in any reputable household, would the position of housekeeper belong to a lowly servant?"

You’re being foolish now too, thinking you can kill me with just a small knife?

You’ve never killed anyone, you don’t know what it feels like to stab a knife into flesh. What? Did you really think that by stabbing my clothes, you could kill me?"

Upon hearing these words, Lv Ping felt a chill over her entire body.

Even a Cultivator who has formed a Golden Core would be powerless to return to the heavens if their heart was pierced by a knife and without an Immortal Pill to save their life.

But Li Jing did not need an Immortal Pill.

He grabbed Lv Ping’s wrist with one hand, and slowly reached into his bosom with the other, pulling out a Heart Protecting Mirror.

"Lv Ping, you’ve brought this upon yourself. You can hardly blame me."

Their eyes met, and Lv Ping, looking into Li Jing’s eyes, saw a flash of cold, ruthless intent to kill, which turned her world upside down in a moment of near despair.

"It was all a hope that you would kill him, it seems I was indeed too idealistic, but this is actually better."

Hearing Nezha’s voice yet not seeing his figure, Li Jing inwardly cursed, knowing something was wrong, but before he could react, an irresistible force transmitted through the blade in his chest.

He looked down to see the blade, naturally also seeing the hand of the young man on Lv Ping’s petite hand, and thus he saw Nezha.

"Unfilial child!!!"

Li Jing’s eyes bulged, and in that moment, immense fear made his throat go hoarse.

Then, the Chaos Sky Silk bound his mouth.

"Li Jing, I didn’t really want to kill you."

Li Jing’s eyes were nearly bursting, sweat pouring like rain; the blade pierced his skin, bit by bit, inch by inch, burrowing towards his heart.

Somehow, as death approached, his senses became even sharper.

He was well aware that with Nezha’s strength, resistance was impossible; Nezha could take his life in an instant if he wished.

Yet, he chose to torture him slowly instead.

The clearer this became, the more terror he felt.

An unstoppable fear.

Suddenly, Nezha’s hand stopped, and he said, "I just thought of one last thing I’d like to say to you."

Li Jing’s heart skipped a beat, thinking there was a chance; he opened his mouth wanting to play the emotional card, to say things like he was only treating him this way because he was forced by the old man Taiyi, that he had no other choice.

After all, he was confident that if Nezha gave him a chance to speak, he could spin the tale prettily. After all, they were father and son, it couldn’t possibly...

"Be a good person in your next life, and try not to be so detestable."

With those words, Nezha plunged the knife in and twisted it forcefully, and Li Jing breathed his last.

"Remember, next time you kill someone, don’t puncture the heart; you lose too much blood, you can’t even plug it up, and it’s easy to get yourself covered. Of course, I hope you won’t have such an opportunity in the future."

Having killed Li Jing, Nezha felt an empty hollowness inside, not the satisfaction he had imagined, only silently acknowledging that one more troublesome matter was settled.

He turned back to look at Lv Ping, who was standing there stunned; placing his hands on her shoulders, he forced her to look into his eyes, and with the most resolute tone and gaze, he imbued her with strength, saying, "Hold on just a little longer, you’ll be free soon. Someone will discover this place shortly and take you into custody. No matter who asks you what, don’t say anything. I will come to rescue you, understand?"

Lv Ping didn’t say a word, as if she had been frozen in place.

Nezha didn’t know if she understood or not, but hearing the commotion outside, he knew this was no place to linger. With a flash, he disappeared from the study room, his fleeing silhouette heading towards the East Sea.

Only then did Lv Ping not feel any sense of reality.

With Li Jing dead, everything she saw with her eyes, everything she heard with her ears, began to blur.

She vaguely realized there were many people around; some were pulling her hair, some were tugging at her clothes, and others were shackling her wrists.

At this moment, Lv Ping came to a realization.

She actually did truly like Li Jing.
