Was it you that night?
Chapter 185 - 183: Surrendering Virginity

Chapter 185: Chapter 183: Surrendering Virginity

Wu Ke smiled and then looked towards Shen Zhiyao, only to find that she was deep in conversation with Shen Qinghe, as if it hadn’t been her that had just shot him a contemptuous glance.

He also knew of the enmity between the Shen sisters and Nan Sheng, having heard that Shen Zhiyao had almost died under Nan Sheng’s Thousand Shadows Sword. Could it be that Shen Zhiyao thought he had a private affair with Nan Sheng?

"It’s a trifle, not worth mentioning." said Wu Ke, intending to bypass Nan Sheng.

To his surprise, Nan Sheng once again blocked his path, her doe eyes moist and timid as she looked up at him and asked, "I was lucky to advance to the next round, and there’s something I don’t understand that I’d like to ask Uncle-Master for guidance on, are you available?"

Wu Ke couldn’t bear to reject a beauty, especially not one as stunning as Nan Sheng. He quickly became engrossed in conversation with her.

Watching this scene from a distance, the Shen sisters couldn’t help but admire Nan Sheng’s skills. As soon as she made her move, there was no man she couldn’t conquer – no wonder she was the heroine adored by thousands.

"Sister, do you see? Once Nan Sheng sets her sights on a man, not one can escape the palm of her hand. Sister, you’d better take a detour when you see Elder Wu in the future." Shen Qinghe whispered to Shen Zhiyao.

Shen Zhiyao deeply agreed but felt there was an exception: "Mr. Wuya is different. No matter what tricks Nan Sheng pulls, Mr. Wuya remains unmoved."

By coincidence, Dongfang Wuya walked by just in time to overhear Shen Zhiyao’s "praise" for him. The corners of his lips lifted, finding Shen Zhiyao’s face more pleasant today: "Wu Ke is naturally flirtatious. Shen Zhiyao, you must not get too close to him in the future."

"I’m well aware of that!" Shen Zhiyao responded crisply.

She felt that she wouldn’t have any dealings with Wu Ke, better to keep her distance. However, since Wu Ke killed her in the original text, if she wanted to avoid this calamity, she still needed to improve her cultivation base.

At that moment, Dongfang Wuya looked towards her, and she instantly understood, walking further away to give Dongfang Wuya and Qinghe a chance to be alone.

"You did well earlier." Dongfang Wuya spared no compliments for Shen Qinghe.

"After all, I’m a disciple personally trained by Uncle-Master, how could I be anything but excellent?" Shen Qinghe seldom felt this self-confident.

A glint of amusement flashed in Dongfang Wuya’s eyes, and he couldn’t resist, patting her on the head: "There’s one last match in the first round, you must not be careless. If you make it to the second round and Nan Sheng also luckily enters the second round, you’ll need to guard against her using plots and schemes against you. This woman harbors evil intentions. When dealing with such people, you mustn’t be merciful."

"I’m well aware of that." Shen Qinghe said, just as she saw Meng Yun approaching.

She straightened her spine and watched as Meng Yun greeted her warmly, "Fairy Qinghe’s swordsmanship is remarkable, I’ve heard that Wuya personally taught you?"

"What’s it to you?" Dongfang Wuya didn’t like Meng Yun getting too familiar with Shen Qinghe and simply dragged Meng Yun further away.

Meng Yun was still harboring his original intentions, whispering, "I can see you have feelings for Fairy Qinghe. How about I help you out and make your relationship with her a reality?"

If he could help Dongfang Wuya, then Dongfang Wuya would fight a match with him, fulfilling his wish.

Dongfang Wuya looked at Meng Yun with cold eyes: "It has been quite some time since my hands have been stained with blood, if you wish to die, I will not stop you!"

Meng Yun was taken aback felling that Dongfang Wuya was hopelessly obtuse.

After this incident, he did not dare approach Dongfang Wuya again. At this moment, a puppet with a square face and white clothing came up to him, whispering, "Could Lord Meng Yun step aside for a word?"

"Who are you?" Lord Meng Yun suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Are you Wuya’s Puppet?"

"Indeed, my name is Xiao Bai, and I have a favor to ask of Lord Meng Yun," Xiao Bai said earnestly.

Lord Meng Yun was immediately intrigued. He had heard that Dongfang Wuya had two Puppets, one rarely seen in public named Little Black, and the one that attended Dongfang Wuya, named Xiao Bai.

If nothing was amiss, this must be Xiao Bai.

They went to a secluded corner, and Xiao Bai wasted no time, stating his request directly, "I’ve heard that Lord Meng Yun’s Dream-Entering Technique is extraordinary. Could you allow my master and Fairy Qinghe to be favorably united, to ensure their good fortune?"

Upon hearing this, Lord Meng Yun couldn’t help but grin from ear to ear, had he not been entertaining this exact idea himself?

Anyone with eyes could see that Dongfang Wuya was incredibly smitten with Shen Qinghe. Wherever Shen Qinghe was, Dongfang Wuya’s gaze would follow, yet he persisted in denying his own feelings.

"Easy for you to say, but aren’t you Wuya’s Puppet? If you’re conspiring with me behind his back, aren’t you afraid that he will know and, in his anger, annihilate you?" Lord Meng Yun asked curiously.

Dongfang Wuya had previously threatened to kill him, and that was no joke.

Although he enjoyed helping others, he wasn’t keen on losing his own life over it.

"My master actually holds deep affection for Fairy Qinghe but believes that he has no future with her, which is why he refuses to take the first step. Fairy Qinghe, being oblivious, would not dare show any disrespect to my master. I’m aware of my master’s concerns, but living such a lonely life, I hope for him, even if there is no outcome with Fairy Qinghe, that he can at least have the woman he loves," Xiao Bai said solemnly.

One must take the leap to find out if there will be an outcome. If we don’t try, he will surely miss his chance with Fairy Qinghe, and I don’t want to see my master filled with regret in the future.

At that moment, Lord Meng Yun saw Xiao Bai in a new light.

A Puppet, yet so loyal and dedicated, but he still had reservations, "If I do help Wuya and Fairy Qinghe get together, Wuya won’t kill me in a fit of rage, will he?"

"With Fairy Qinghe present, Lord Meng Yun will surely be safe!" Xiao Bai reassured him with a cardiotonic.

Lord Meng Yun’s smile bloomed like a flower, "It seems Fairy Qinghe is not only skilled in swordsmanship but also quite adept at the Technique of Controlling Men. Very well, leave this matter to me. I assure you I will make Wuya’s trip to the martial arts competition a lifelong unforgettable one and ensure he parts with his bachelorhood."

Xiao Bai relaxed upon hearing Lord Meng Yun’s agreement, the heavy weight in his heart now lifted, "If there’s anything I can help with, just name it. I will do my best to assist."

Meanwhile, Shen Qinghe, deep in conversation with Dongfang Wuya, had no idea that Xiao Bai and Lord Meng Yun were plotting against her. She was attentively listening to Dongfang Wuya’s advice on how to handle the draw for the upcoming match.

"What should I do if I end up facing the Golden Core Completion Stage cultivator from the Thousand Dreams Retreat?" Shen Qinghe hoped she wasn’t that unlucky, but she knew the female cultivator Luo from Thousand Dreams Retreat was the most formidable.

Two Golden Core Completion Stage cultivators had already fallen to Female Cultivator Luo, a force to be reckoned with.

After pondering for a moment, Dongfang Wuya finally said, "Your cultivation base is lower than Luo’s. If she takes you into her dream, you won’t be able to resist. Once inside her dream, she is in control. You have a chance to beat her only if you strike with your sword before she brings you into the dream. Otherwise, if you’re taken into the dream, you can only rely on your Life-bound Magic Treasure to aid you."

Fortunately, before coming to Yuheng Mountain, Shen Qinghe had advanced to the Mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator, so the capability of the Black and White Rope also increased accordingly.

Considering that the Black Rope was able to fight alongside Little Black in Qu Nian’s Illusory Realm, it meant that the dream world created by Female Cultivator Luo would likely not control the Black and White Rope.
