Die Tage, in denen man einen Bösewicht heiratet

Kapitel 21

She rarely smiled so broadly, and then looked at the cult leader who was about to die with a smug smile on his face.

Her expression hardened, and she shouted again, "Where are you? Where are you?"

He Zai stepped forward. "Your subordinate is here."

"Since the age of sixteen, you have studied the Huangfu School of martial arts and mastered its true essence. From this moment on, you are the new Left Protector!"

This order came abruptly, but He Zai still said:

"I will obey the leader's command."

She glanced one last time at the cult leader, whose body was frozen stiff, and, unable to bear seeing him die like this, she turned her face toward the outside of the hall and shouted loudly once more:

"Left Protector, what are your orders?"

Despite his doubts, he still bowed and waited.

"The White Bright Cult needs a capable leader to ensure its long-term prosperity. I, the current leader, am incompetent and have failed the trust placed in me by my predecessor. Therefore, from this moment forward, you are the thirty-second leader of the White Bright Cult. Now, accept this order!"

There seemed to be a heavy thud coming from the direction of the throne, but no one turned around to look; they just stared blankly at the woman standing on the long steps.

She was dressed in an exquisite moon-white dress, her long hair flowing, and she was extremely beautiful, even possessing a pure and elegant charm. Unfortunately, what she was about to do would drastically ruin her image.

She lowered her face, her lips twitching. She could definitely endure it; this moment had finally arrived, and she had passed! Rest in peace, Master!

"girl……"

"What, are you disobeying orders?"

She glanced at him sideways. A strong mountain wind blew across her bangs, revealing her faint scar.

His heart skipped a beat, and he gritted his teeth: "Girl, are you dumping all this mess on me?"

Sigh, speaking so plainly only hurts feelings. Her expression was cold as she stroked her jade flute and said:

Are you disobeying my orders?

"..." He Zai turned around to look for Gongsun Yun, but unexpectedly saw Gongsun Yun taking the booklet and writing something with his eyes lowered. This was clearly... a collective frame-up?

"What!" She lowered her voice, making sure only he could hear. "I know your personality best. The White Ming Cult is the place where you can truly shine. Tianhe Manor is too righteous and no longer suitable for you. The White Ming Cult is the most suitable place for you."

"These are all excuses, young lady. What will you do in the future?"

"I can go anywhere in the world..." Not wanting to be too arrogant, she added, "My home is your home, and your home will be my home. Once you become the leader, the White Bright Cult will truly be my home. It will no longer be a place where I have to be on guard at every turn." Besides, she still missed the hot springs at Tianbi Cliff.

"If it weren't for what happened today, would I have a place in your world, wherever you are?"

She said without hesitation:

"Of course there are, but you come from the Tianhe Manor. If your life goes smoothly, you'll just be the young master leading everyone. You can travel the world with me, but you'll also be wasting your talents. There are too many problems within the Baiming Cult. Don't you want to try and see what kind of Baiming Cult you can create in your hands?"

He remained silent. Finally, he said:

"Will the young lady return in three to five years?"

"Of course. No matter how bad the White Ming Cult is, it's still my home." She smiled. "Besides, now that you're in charge here, we're inseparable. What's yours is mine. From now on, I'll be treated like a pampered young lady in the White Ming Cult. If I ever suffer any injustice, I'll definitely come back to you."

He Zai laughed upon hearing this.

"Girl, you are so cunning, how could you possibly feel wronged? But with just a word from you, He Zai will abandon the White Bright Cult at any time and follow you to the ends of the earth. This promise will never change." Having said this, he looked down at He Ronghua, who was staring at him hesitantly below the long steps. He took a deep breath and said, "He Zai, the thirty-second leader of the White Bright Cult, accept the order!"

The repeated sudden changes in the White Ming Cult caught the martial arts world of the Central Plains off guard, leaving them bewildered and looking at each other in dismay.

Whether or not things can be resolved is up to He Zai; it has nothing to do with her.

Although she was the leader, that was in the past, and the focus of everyone's attention was no longer on her.

She turned to go back into the hall, but saw a woman approaching Xianyun.

She unconsciously squinted.

She saw the woman take out a snow-white handkerchief to wipe the bloodstains off Xianyun's clothes.

"Miss Tang is really very proactive." Gongsun Zhi stood beside her and sighed.

"People need to be proactive to have a future," she said casually. Like her, she never gave up even at the last moment, which is why she was still alive after falling off the cliff. Even after being captured by the cult leader, she didn't give up, and only then was she able to achieve her goal today.

Gongsun Zhi gave him a strange look. "Do you know what you're saying?"

"Um."

"Wu Bo, have you gone too far with your restraint? Or do all former cult leaders lose their minds? Extend your hand so I can take your pulse. Has the diet you've had these past two weeks been bewitching you, strengthening your ability to endure...?"

Upon hearing this, she nearly fainted.

Will this gossipy Fifth Prince ever stop? She hasn't heard him nagging for half a month, but that doesn't mean she misses him!

He began by recounting the background of the Tang family, and as he spoke, he mentioned that a Tang family girl had entered the Gongsun family long ago, indicating a long and deep connection between the two families. He then went on to discuss the power struggles within the martial arts world, and eventually even touched upon the issue of male beauty, as well as the likelihood of a future relationship between her and Xianyun…

Her face twitched. She endured it, even though her heart was filled with blood!

"About ten percent," Gongsun Zhi sighed. "Your background has been exposed; Xianyun is, after all, from a prestigious family—"

Her face was still twitching. Was it because she had been too smug earlier and now had to be punished? It didn't matter, she would endure it! Endurance is a double-edged sword, and today's sword was too sharp, accidentally cutting into her heart.

"I won't lie to you, everyone in Yun Family Village, big and small, will absolutely support you, but Yun Family Village has never had a precedent of forming a marriage alliance with the Bai Ming Cult. You were once the leader, although you were the leader with the shortest reign in history."

She'll just have to endure it! She can just treat Gongsun Zhi's words as a foreign language! Didn't you hear me? Didn't you hear me...?

"Gibberish...gibberish..."

She slowly walked behind Xianyun and heard the young woman, Miss Tang, say apologetically:

"Xianyun, you stepped in to stop the two sides from fighting earlier, and you took a blow from my father. You only took the blow and didn't strike back. I feel really guilty."

Jiang Wubo lowered her eyes, glancing at the bloodstains on his robes. So that's how it is… She would endure it any longer.

Tu Sanlong didn't go to He Zai's place, but instead strode over and said:

"Xianyun!" He quickly noticed Jiang Wubo behind Gongsun Yun and changed his mind, saying, "You are a talented person of your generation. It is a pity for the world to debase yourself to a vixen!"

With a snap, she felt as if a nerve had broken. It didn't matter; she had many nerves, so losing one wouldn't make a difference. She was just a little surprised that her nerves had snapped so quickly this time. Like a house of cards collapsing, the first nerve broke, then snap, snap, snap, and several more broke in quick succession.

Was it because she had overcome the greatest challenge of her life that she relaxed her guard? Or... was she protecting her own heart?

She looked down and fiddled with the small medicine box.

When she took out the small medicine box, a faint fragrance wafted towards Gongsun Zhi, who was known for his keen sense of pharmacology. He was stunned. This fragrance was…

"Xianyun," she said.

Gongsun Yun knew she had come up behind him, and when he turned around, he saw that her expression was strange.

He remained calm, but a slight smile played in his handsome eyes. Seeing Gongsun Zhi staring in disbelief, he followed her gaze to the small box in her hand.

"Life is short, and I can't resist indulging myself. Consider it a reward I've been holding back for twenty years. What do you say?" she said thoughtfully.

Gongsun Yun raised an eyebrow. "It's very painful to endure everything. I encourage you to indulge yourself a little."

"Xianyun, you've always had excellent self-control, haven't you?"

"...It's acceptable." He said with a half-smile.

"Is your savior the only person you care about?"

"...Yes." He suppressed a laugh.

Inside and outside the hall, everyone fell silent, staring blankly at the noble and carefree young master.

"Open your mouth!"

"Be careful, Xianyun—" Tu Sanlong hadn't finished speaking when he saw the demoness feed Xianyun a pill and simultaneously silence him. It was too late for him to stop her. "What kind of medicine did you give him?"

"Boundless Passion and Aphrodisiac!" Che Yanyan murmured, glaring at her. "You..."

The number prodigies were originally recording the major events surrounding the new leader of the White Ming Cult elsewhere, but upon hearing that the pill's name was unusual and suggested a high probability of a major event, they instantly moved nearby and resumed their note-taking.

They can secretly forget about events in the underworld, but they absolutely must record the affairs of their own leader, and these must be true facts, never falsehoods.

Each of them pricked up its long ears.

"Boundless Passion, Aphrodisiac Powder?" Tu Sanlong was an upright man and had never heard of such a medicine in his life, but just from the name, he knew it was no good. He then heard Gongsun Zhi shaking his head and sighing beside him.

"How ruthless... This medicine is extremely poisonous, capable of rendering even a saint's self-control ineffective. Compared to it, Meixiang is nothing, like comparing an infant to an old person."

Tu Sanlong was utterly astonished and blurted out, "Where's the antidote?"

"Where's the antidote? Xianyun, come with me!" She couldn't take it anymore. She wouldn't hold back any longer!

She grabbed his arm and led him out of the hall. The crowd, like flowing water, instinctively parted, and the "digital geniuses" followed without batting an eye. Absolutely no lie, absolutely no lie, remember that!

Tu Sanlong snapped out of his daze and stepped forward to snatch Gongsun Yun back, but Gongsun Yun, with his hidden power in his sleeve, effortlessly deflected his attack, allowing Jiang Wubo to kidnap him.

Tu Sanlong stopped abruptly and stared at his retreating figure.

"Girl?" He Zai asked in surprise.

"Xianyun is poisoned. I will take him to get treatment. Once he is cured, he will be returned to you in perfect condition," she said loudly, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

With a thud, all the Digital Princes collapsed to the ground.

It feels so good to indulge! She's wanted to do this for a long time! The martial arts world in the Central Plains is always polite to each other, but behind the scenes, all sorts of rumors, slander, and underhanded tricks are used. She's a demoness, so she should do what a demoness should do!

"...Where should the young lady go to heal her wounds?" He Zai asked tactfully.

She glanced around, her gaze settling on the towering Tianbi Cliff opposite her. She pointed decisively in that direction—

"The world is vast, but Tianbi Cliff remains undisturbed!" It's rare to be so crazy, but it's incredibly exhilarating.

She doesn't care what others are doing or thinking. She's free to do as she pleases. If she wants Xianyun, she'll have it. If she likes Xianyun, she'll like it. Why should she tolerate so much nonsense from others, or even trying to take her away from her?

It turns out that not having to endure anything feels so pleasant; no wonder there was only one Goujian in the world!

She gathered her strength, supported the drifting clouds, and used her lightness skill to swiftly traverse the wide canyon, her white robes fluttering like flowing wind and swirling snow. Only then did the crowd come to their senses and exclaim in surprise that a demoness had snatched someone away!

He Zai immediately climbed to a high place and shouted:

"As long as Huangfu Yun and Gongsun Yun remain engaged, the Bai Ming Cult will never set foot in the Central Plains!" His voice was like a howl, and everyone was forced to accept this fact.

Marriage? They're not even married yet... but it's practically a marriage now. With everyone watching, how can Young Master Xianyun shirk this responsibility?

The group that had intended to help immediately stopped. This stop meant they missed the best opportunity to rescue her. The celestial being had already flown to the mortal realm. The moment the vast white mist obscured their figures, He Zai saw the smaller one's foot slip slightly, almost falling into the bottomless abyss. It was the celestial being from the Nine Heavens beside her who caught her by the waist, and she leaped onto the Heavenly Cliff like a light cloud.
