Was it you that night?
Chapter 188 - 186: I Will Kill You!!

Chapter 188: Chapter 186: I Will Kill You!!

The two faced each other in silence for a good while, until Shen Qinghe decided to admit a fault first, "I owe Uncle-Master an apology, I shouldn’t have, have offended Uncle-Master’s honorable body..."

Dongfang Wuya: ...

Should he say "it’s okay"?

Shen Qinghe’s face turned beet red, not daring to look at Dongfang Wuya, "I, I should go back to Yuheng Mountain now."

Wuwu, she didn’t know how she would face Mr. Wuya from now on.

He always warned her not to hit on him, and now his virginity was truly destroyed by her own hands. Wasn’t this the same as telling Mr. Wuya that she took advantage of his virginity while he was dreaming?

Dongfang Wuya watched Shen Qinghe’s fleeing figure and did not forget to remind her, "Shen Qinghe, remember to put on your veil hat..."

Shen Qinghe was at a loss for words.

With such a major change happening, was his concern about her wearing a veil hat more important than him losing his virginity?

She sped up, and in the blink of an eye, she had already taken off on her magic artifact.

As Dongfang Wuya gazed at Shen Qinghe’s receding figure, his mind finally began to work normally again. He shouted sternly, "Lord Meng Yun, I will kill you!!"

It was in this moment that he finally understood what was wrong—it was because Meng Yun made him think he was in a dream.

Although Meng Yun was hiding at a sufficiently distant place, upon hearing Dongfang Wuya’s threatening voice, his legs still shivered with fright, and he immediately fled in panic without choosing his path.

Because he was so eager to flee the scene of the crime, he neglected the changes in his surroundings. By the time he realized something was wrong, it was a step too late.

A powerful demonic energy enveloped him, and a row of demon cultivators appeared in front of him, with a notably handsome Demon Chief leading them, whose features looked somewhat familiar.

The leading Demon Chief spoke indifferently, "Lord Meng Yun, I beg your pardon."

Meng Yun was unaware that this person was Nan Sheng’s biological father, Qu Nian.

Qu Nian lifted his hand, and a group of high-level demon cultivators immediately surrounded Meng Yun.

Meng Yun cursed his bad luck silently. He didn’t understand why the Demon Realm had targeted him, but he would not surrender without a fight.

Meanwhile, Shen Qinghe had intended to return to Yuheng Mountain, but suddenly, she remembered that today might just be the time when Meng Yun was captured by the Demon Realm.

Because of the sudden affair with Dongfang Wuya, she had actually forgotten this important matter.

In the book, it was Nan Sheng who rescued Meng Yun, earning his undying loyalty. She had to save Meng Yun before Nan Sheng did.

She let the Black and White Rope lead her to find Meng Yun. She didn’t hold much hope at first, but to her surprise, the Black and White Rope transformed into a net. She sat within it as it carried her forward.

Soon enough, she saw the thick Demonic Energy ahead, and she knew Black and White Rope hadn’t taken the wrong direction.

Meng Yun’s cultivation base was indeed remarkable, but surrounded by so many demon cultivators, he was gradually showing signs of weakening. What frustrated him the most was that the opposition seemed to know his abilities and gave him no chance to lure them into dreams.

Just when he thought he was going to be captured by the Demon Realm, Shen Qinghe suddenly appeared, wielding a half-black, half-white sword.

When Qu Nian saw it was Shen Qinghe, his eyes flickered slightly, "Shen Qinghe, this has nothing to do with you. I can let you leave."

Shen Qinghe’s experiences were too similar to those of Liu Sanniang, and every time he saw Shen Qinghe, he felt a particular kinship and couldn’t bring himself to perceive her as an enemy.

Shen Qinghe said sternly, "I’m here to take Lord Meng Yun away!"

Qu Nian’s expression turned slightly grave, "If that’s the case, don’t blame me for being merciless..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Qinghe had already charged into the fray with her sword.

Initially, Qu Nian didn’t take her seriously, nor did the other demon cultivators consider a mid-stage Golden Core female cultivator worth their attention. But the instant Shen Qinghe entered the fray with her sword, before the demons could even see clearly how she made her move, several of them were already injured by Shen Qinghe’s Sword Qi.

Shen Qinghe’s sword was transformed from an Ancient Divine Artifact, and the very instant it wounded several demon cultivators, they screamed in agony, with one even experiencing a regression in cultivation base.

Not only did the demons led by Qu Nian change their expressions, but even Lord Meng Yun was taken aback upon seeing this.

Shen Qinghe knew her cultivation base was inadequate; she only had the advantage of striking quickly with her sword, catching the group of demons off guard.

After containing Qu Nian, she shouted to Lord Meng Yun, "Let’s go!"

Lord Meng Yun hastily followed Shen Qinghe as she controlled her sword to flee.

Qu Nian stood rooted to the spot, no longer pursuing. The rest of the demons were also somewhat afraid of Shen Qinghe, worried about suffering a loss in their cultivation base, and all turned to look at Qu Nian.

Looking in the direction Shen Qinghe had escaped, Qu Nian suddenly felt the world had become mystical.

When he had last seen Shen Qinghe, she had just formed her Golden Core, but in such a short span of time, her swordsmanship and cultivation base had both improved remarkably—such a cultivator was rare in the Three Realms.

In time, this maiden’s future would be boundless, surely becoming a leading female cultivator.

Unfortunately, he had been tasked with abducting Lord Meng Yun, a mission he thought was nearly guaranteed, not foreseeing Shen Qinghe’s interference.

Not only did he fail to complete his task, but he also alarmed the enemy, making it unlikely to have another chance to kidnap Lord Meng Yun in the future.

Just as he was about to lead his group away, a young girl suddenly appeared. The moment he clearly saw the girl’s face, his pupils constricted.

The newcomer was none other than Nan Sheng.

She confronted Qu Nian, demanding, "Where is Lord Meng Yun?"

Qu Nian stared at Nan Sheng, as if he had a fishbone stuck in his throat. Seeing Nan Sheng brought back memories of Nan Lan, and even more so of Sanniang.

Although so many years had passed, those memories lingered like maggots on bones, unforgettable no matter how much he tried.

No wonder Shen Qinghe said he was unworthy of the title ’Emotion Demon’; how could someone like him deserve to be called an Emotion Demon?

"I’m talking to you!" Nan Sheng, seeing Qu Nian simply staring at her with bloodshot eyes that seemed somewhat terrifying, instinctively took a few steps back.

She knew Qu Nian was her biological father, and that she was able to cultivate because he had given her an Immortal Pill. Why should she be afraid of Qu Nian after all, they were father and daughter, linked by blood?

"Are you Nan Sheng?" Qu Nian asked hoarsely.

Nan Sheng looked coldly at Qu Nian and repeated, "Where is Lord Meng Yun?"

Qu Nian felt such a meeting and conversation were meaningless, and replied indifferently, "Shen Qinghe took Lord Meng Yun away."

Upon hearing this, Nan Sheng’s face showed a slight change; she hadn’t expected Shen Qinghe to rescue Lord Meng Yun before her.

According to the plot of the book, she was the one who was supposed to rescue Lord Meng Yun, which led to the complex entanglement between them. But now she had missed out on this part of the story, so what should she do?

She thought again of the harsh words Shen Qinghe had said to her, that whatever she wanted, Shen Qinghe would snatch away. It was clear that woman intended to take everything that rightfully belonged to her!

With this thought, the unbearable burning pain from being whipped by the Black and White Rope sweated profusely.

Qu Nian noticed something off in Nan Sheng’s expression, and though he did not want to bother, she was his only flesh and blood.

"What’s wrong with you?"

No sooner had Qu Nian spoken than Nan Sheng collapsed to the ground, clutching at his legs, and looked up at him with tear-filled eyes, "I—I think I’m going mad and becoming obsessed, save me..."

Qu Nian’s expression darkened. He checked Nan Sheng’s pulse and found that she was indeed showing signs of going mad and becoming obsessed.

She was a disciple of the Sky Pole Sect, practicing the orthodox techniques of the Righteous Path, so how could she possibly go mad and become obsessed?
