Moon Drinking Tower.
Moon Charm Room.
Qin Gengyun opened his mouth, staring blankly at the expressionless Si Minglan.
This shaless, unrestrained woman actually had such a tragic past?
Upstairs.
Moon Shadow Room.
"Could this woman have already woken up and be lying?"
Liu Su similarly gaped, finding it hard to believe.
Si Minglan was so alluring and uninhibited, shalessly wanton, she seed born for debauchery.
No matter how one looked at it, she didn’t seem like soone who’d suffered tragedy as a child.
Qiu Zhihe coldly said, "Tragedies in the world are countless, with blood on one’s hands from the Cyan Lotus Sect, there are no innocents."
Downstairs, Si Minglan continues:
"My father was the National Guardian General of the West Imperial Dynasty, with countless achievents, yet feared by the Emperor, who fabricated charges of treason against him, executing my whole family!"
"I was my father’s youngest daughter; the Emperor didn’t want a reputational stain of cruelty, so he didn’t kill , but sent to the Imperial Music Bureau, degrading to an official courtesan."
"Years later, when I ca of age, I was humiliated by the Pri Minister, and from then every night I served different n."
"They all like to torture , every day I was covered in wounds. I sought death multiple tis, each ti rescued only to face even more brutal abuse."
"Those ministers, each with kind visages and rightful appearances, were beasts behind closed doors. I watched countless sisters die from their tornt."
"Only I, the Emperor claid my father had committed grievous cris, destined for my life as a courtesan, unable to find peace, which is why they’ve never killed ."
"Later, I stole a dagger and killed the Pri Minister who ca again to violate , dismbered him, and threw him into the frozen at vault of the brothel."
"Then used his token to escape the Western Imperial City. With the Emperor’s n in pursuit, I jumped off a cliff—better dead than suffering further abuse."
"Master Sang Yue passed by, saved , brought to Zhenyang Mountain, healed all my scars and taught cultivation."
"Master said my talent in cultivation paralleled that of Ye Xiyue, but my heart demon was too heavy, forever unable to break through Foundation Establishnt, thus asked if I’d like to study Charm Technique."
"I was already a courtesan, as long as I can kill all my enemies, wipe out the n of the world, why wouldn’t I agree?"
After hearing Si Minglan’s unfeeling recount, Qin Gengyun’s expression grew complex, his gaze towards her gained a hint of sympathy.
No wonder her actions were so unrestrained yet ruthless; whoever suffered such tragedy and tornt as a child might turn out like her upon growing up.
Unable to resist, Qin Gengyun asked, "Have you killed all your enemies now?"
"Haha, I’ve killed all those who’ve tornted —I cut off their private parts first, then limbs, finally their heads. Each ti I felt pleasure, but unfortunately..."
Si Minglan’s expression was dazed, her voice unconsciously cold, causing Qin Gengyun to shiver involuntarily. Then she continued:
"The Emperor isn’t dead yet; the Imperial Palace is guarded by magical artifacts that I can’t break through, but both of his Princes are in the Thunder Sword Sect. I will find a way to kill them."
Si Minglan finished speaking, lowered her head, and remained motionless.
Qin Gengyun stayed silent for a while, then suddenly got up, walked to Si Minglan, and removed her outer garnt, once more revealing that inviting Shaful Clothes.
"Wow! Saintess, what’s the Holy Consort doing? Could he possibly sympathize with Si Minglan and feel pity for her?"
Liu Su exclaid noisily, while Qiu Zhihe coldly commanded:
"Shut up!"
She kept her eyes fixed on the image in the light orb, yet her heart thumped wildly.
Not until seeing Qin Gengyun remove Si Minglan’s outer garnt and then step back without further action did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.
After returning the room to its previous state, Qin Gengyun ceased channeling spiritual power, putting on a vacant expression as the Wind Return Array in the bronze mirror slowly vanished.
Monts later, Si Minglan suddenly lifted her head, a hint of puzzlent on her face.
Soon after, seeing Qin Gengyun in front of her, his mind affected by the Charm Technique, her face resud that seductive and wanton look, starting to questioning coquettishly.
The questions were the sa as last night, and Qin Gengyun’s answers equally unchanged.
Once done asking the sa questions as last night, Si Minglan paused, then suddenly laughed coquettishly:
"Alchemist Qin, Junior Sister Fang told your wife is quite beautiful. Let ask, how is her cultivation? What talents does she have?"
Qin Gengyun answered, "My wife is at the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation like , she’s an excellent cook. I love her Spirit Flesh stew most."
Si Minglan let out a laugh: "An excellent cook? Haha, you and your wife surely share deep affection, though I wonder, what expression would she wear seeing you being so intimate with another woman?"
Upstairs, Qiu Zhihe’s expression was icy, Liu Su’s small hand constantly soothing her tightly clenched fist.
"Saintess, calm down, stay calm!"
Si Minglan glanced down at her Shaful Clothes, then at Qin Gengyun’s straightforward gaze, and suddenly mories long unseen appeared in her mind.
Within the Official Brothel, n holding whips, their laughter cruel, their gaze just as undisguised.
Si Minglan’s eyes turned cold, her voice gaining a touch of killing intent:
"Alchemist Qin, do you think I’m a disgraceful slut available to any man?"
Qin Gengyun answered: "No."
Si Minglan was taken aback, then asked: "Why?"
Qin Gengyun replied: "Senior Si, no one is born lowly; love and hate have causes, evil acts et consequences. Once hate in one’s heart is purged, perhaps one can begin anew."
Si Minglan stood there stunned, never anticipating such words from this man before her.
She clutched her head, dreadful mories churning faster and faster, causing painful murmurs:
"Evil acts et consequences? Haha, indeed, they’ve faced consequences...but what about ? Can I start anew?"
Monts later, the killing intent around Si Minglan dissipated. With a graceful wave of her hand, scattered garnts on the floor rose and returned to her body.
The seductive fox spirit vanished, leaving only a dispirited woman.
She took out a wine gourd, raised her pale neck, and glugged down all the wine inside.
Then casually picked up the wine jug on the table, without pouring it into a cup, tilted it to drink the slender stream directly.
However, her hand seed to tremble, wine spilled, splashing onto her cheek, sliding onto her neck and clothes, leaving a ss.
From her Phoenix Eye, tears suddenly welled, mingling with wine, flowing into her high neckline.
Carrying the wine jug, she stumbled toward the door.
"Haha, I am born lowly, so what? You humiliate thousands of tis, so what? Unable to ever reach Golden Core, so what? I am Si Minglan, even if I live a hundred lives as a disgrace, cursed for a thousand generations, I will slaughter the Western Imperial Palace, and sever the head of the dog Emperor!"
As her charming yet frantic laughter faded away, Qin Gengyun sensed Si Minglan lifting the Charm Technique, thus "waking up."
He acted the complete part, pretending to just regain consciousness, glancing around, anxiously calling:
"Senior Si, Senior Si? Where have you gone?"
From afar, Si Minglan’s voice indeed ca: "Today’s wine is good, go back now, don’t betray your wife."
