Chapter 46

“Qu Panyan, the wife of the Xianmeng Sect’s Sect Master. Do you understand now?”

Su Lingyu said composedly in a tranquil manner, but to the people present, it reverberated like rolling thunder, leaving everyone in great awe and shock.

Qu Panyan reached out and pushed aside the curtain, staring at the person who slowly turned around in amazement. Her red lips trembled, and she asked in disbelief, “Sister Lingyu, you—”

However, Su Lingyu interrupted her and extended her hand towards her, saying, “Yan’er, come here.”

Her voice was like a bewitching melody, enticing and alluring. Without realizing it, Qu Panyan took a step forward and obediently placed her hand in Su Lingyu’s palm.

Su Lingyu smiled faintly at her, hooked her waist, and pulled her into her embrace, leading her to look at the disheveled An Lin’er. “Didn’t you want to know why I wanted to see her?”

Qu Panyan looked puzzled.

Su Lingyu explained, “Naturally, it’s because of you.”

She shifted her gaze to the trembling An Lin’er, her tone devoid of the slightest tenderness she had when speaking to Qu Panyan, and it was icy and ruthless. “It seems that one year of silent meditation was not nearly enough.”

…Silent meditation?

She actually came to see me because of the silent meditation?!

An Lin’er widened her eyes in disbelief and struggled to get up. Her pupils were filled with suspicion, unable to believe her ears. “You actually came because of silent meditation…”

She watched as Su Lingyu affectionately embraced Qu Panyan, appearing genuinely in love. The two standing together looked like a perfect match, an impeccable couple made by heaven.

This was beyond her imagination—who could have expected this?!

Disgusting, absolutely disgusting!!!

But she didn’t dare to openly and directly accuse Su Lingyu of being disgusting. Instead, she resented Qu Panyan, thinking how this despicable vixen could enchant the Sect Master Su Lingyu to such an extent!

She truly wasn’t a good person!

An Lin’er was dumbfounded. “You all…,” then she looked at Su Lingyu in shock, “Sect Master Su, how could you be deceived by her? She, she’s just a fox who seduces everyone—”

Before she could finish her words, An Lin’er felt a chilling sensation on her neck. Su Lingyu tightly gripped her throat, ruthlessly robbing her of her breath and lifting her up into the air.

With just a slight movement of two fingers, Su Lingyu made An Lin’er helplessly scratch at the frost on her own neck, like an ant without any power to resist. Her expression was icy as she looked at the red-faced An Lin’er and said coldly word by word, “She, as Madam Su, the wife of the Xianmeng Sect’s Sect Master. Do you think you can curse her as you please?”

Qu Panyan nestled in Su Lingyu’s embrace, quietly covering her mouth to stifle her laughter. She wasn’t laughing at An Lin’er’s miserable state but rather because of Su Lingyu’s assertive display of authority and the satisfaction and happiness she gained from seeing how she vent the anger in her place…

The wife of Su Lingyu, the wife of the Xianmeng Sect’s Sect Master, Qu Panyan…

She could laugh even in her dreams!

Su Lingyu noticed Qu Panyan’s amusement and thought she felt relieved after venting her anger. So she withdrew her spiritual power, looking at An Lin’er, who fell to the ground, with a cold expression and said, “Apologize.”

An Lin’er didn’t care about the dryness in her throat and repeatedly bent over to apologize to Qu Panyan.

Qu Panyan spoke, “Since you still dare to insult me, it seems that one year of silent meditation was indeed not enough, or perhaps… does the An Clan look down on my Tianguan Qu family?”

After insulting a young lady from a prestigious family, how could she not obediently accept punishment? If this wasn’t a form of disrespect to the Qu family, then what was it?

An Lin’er hurriedly shook her head, “No, that’s wrong!”

Qu Panyan asked, “Then what is it?”

An Lin’er kept her head down, not daring to answer. She couldn’t say it, or perhaps she didn’t dare to say it.

An Clan might have been unable to defeat the Qu Clan in the past, but… could that still be the case now?

Everyone knew the current situation of the Qu Clan. It was just like a dying dog—it’s about to be finished, the Qu Clan is about to be finished!

As long as the An Clan endured a bit longer, they would witness the downfall of the Qu Clan!

Qu Panyan suddenly said, “Do you think my Qu Clan is about to collapse?”

An Lin’er stiffened, completely surprised that she could so accurately pinpoint her thoughts.

Qu Panyan saw all of An Lin’er’s reactions and understood that she hit the nail on the head. The Qu Clan was facing a major crisis, a matter of life and death. But it was not yet a settled matter, and she wouldn’t let outsiders enjoy watching the Qu Clan’s misery.

Qu Panyan smiled faintly, “As a member of the Qu Clan, I’m not the least bit anxious. But you, an outsider, seem quite eager to step on my Qu Clan?”

She sighed, shook her head and said, “Your temperament is truly unstable, and you can’t control your mouth. You should spend your whole life practicing silent meditation. One year is indeed not enough.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Lingyu made a hand gesture, and An Lin’er’s mouth automatically closed, sealing tightly as if it were a complete skin. No matter how she tried to open it, she couldn’t, and she could only make muffled sounds.

Su Lingyu’s expression remained indifferent as she imposed the ‘mouth-sealing curse’ on An Lin’er, then sent another sound transmission to the An Clan: “Someone with an unstable temperament will find it difficult to cultivate on their own, so I’m placing another ‘mouth-sealing curse’ on you. I, Xianmeng’s Sect Master, have informed the old An Clan Master not to lift it for you without permission; otherwise, it would mean opposing our Xianmeng Sect.”

Su Lingyu glanced at her with a slightly cold gaze, “Take this as a warning and behave yourself. If I ever find out that you’ve offended Yan’er or the Qu Clan in any way, no matter where you are, I will execute you!”

“Furthermore, don’t bring up An Cheng’s matter again to disturb me. Things you couldn’t protect yourselves, you have no qualifications to ask others to help you retrieve them.”

Su Lingyu waved her sleeve and summoned the spirit servant, “Escort the guest out!”

Qu Panyan watched An Lin’er’s departing figure, her thoughts swirling.

The entire cultivation world knew the current state of the Qu Clan and were waiting for this behemoth to fall. Even Liu Yizhi was waiting for Qu Muqiu to send herself over and hand him the control of the Qu Clan.

Qu Panyan’s eyes dimmed with determination. There was no turning back now, no more merciful means—A Yiduo must die!

Let the goddamn Heavenly Fire choose its new master!

Su Lingyu seemed to sense what was on her mind, and she raised her hand to touch her hair, speaking gently, “Trust Muqiu, the Qu Clan will surely overcome this crisis.”

Qu Panyan’s emotions slightly stirred, and she looked up at Su Lingyu, “If I want to kill A Yiduo, will Sister Lingyu stop me?”

Su Lingyu continued to stroke her long hair, “You have your own stance, and Sister Lingyu won’t stop you.”

Qu Panyan’s heart warmed, and she asked shyly, “Then… what did Sister Lingyu say to An Lin’er just now?”

Su Lingyu’s expression remained unchanged as she replied, “Since you want to take responsibility for me, you naturally become the Sect Master’s wife. Don’t tell me you’re having second thoughts?”

Qu Panyan repeated in confusion, “Second thoughts?”

—Regardless of what I ask you to do, you’ll never regret it?

—Mm, I’ll never regret it.

Did Su Lingyu mean that at the time? She kissed her, so she should be responsible for her for a lifetime?

Qu Panyan suddenly realized. Damn…this sister is too cunning!

…Could it be that she has fallen for me? Has fate already fulfilled its promise?

Su Lingyu gazed at her, “Hmm? Yan’er, are your words not reliable?”

Qu Panyan hurriedly said, “They are, they are!” I would even offer myself to you willingly!

“It’s just…,” Qu Panyan lowered her eyelids, her eyes filled with joy, but she also felt a sense of unreality as she said, “I just can’t believe it.”

It was too sudden…

She whispered, “I thought I would have to wait a long time before Sister Lingyu liked me back…”

While she was still counting the days for Su Lingyu to develop feelings for her, Su Lingyu suddenly announced that she was the Sect Master’s wife. The ‘sudden wife’ announcement left her dizzy and unable to believe it.

Their relationship bar seemed to progress all at once and instantly maxed out, skipping the steps of courtship and directly promoting to being wife and wife overnight. Everything happened so unexpectedly, like a dream.

She was afraid she might wake up any moment now…

Qu Panyan’s face was gently cupped, and before her was the person who appeared in her dreams day and night.

Su Lingyu’s eyes reflected only her, just as her world could no longer accommodate anyone else. Su Lingyu’s tender words lingered by Qu Panyan’s ear, “If Sister Lingyu kisses Yan’er, Yan’er will believe it right.”

Qu Panyan watched as she lowered her head, and in an instant, her mind exploded with an ‘oom—’ all thoughts were instantly wiped away, leaving only emptiness, and her fair face blushed like a brilliant fire.

Su Lingyu’s lips landed on her rosy ones.

This time, the kiss hit the mark.

It was a delicate and lingering kiss, filled with the unrestrained affection that had been suppressed for so long, making it both passionate and intoxicating, stirring countless ripples of tenderness in their heart, and creating gentle wave-like motion in their souls.

Qu Panyan closed her eyes, willingly sinking into this moment with her.

After a while, Su Lingyu reluctantly pulled away from her, gazing at her hazy eyes and asking softly, “Do you believe now, Yan’er?”

Qu Panyan took some time to calm her unstable breath. Her misty eyes coupled with a charming smile created a sense of endearment, prompting Su Lingyu to place another affectionate kiss on the corner of her eye.

Qu Panyan’s heart was in endless turmoil, suddenly greedy for more, so she smiled and asked slowly, “Is that all? Sister Lingyu, what if Yan’er feels it’s not enough?”

Sister, please give me a wild kiss!

It’s okay to kiss me even crazier!!

Su Lingyu chuckled, taking her hand and showering it with kisses while mysteriously saying, “Of course, there’s more.”

Meanwhile, An Lin’er was placed in a celestial carriage by the An Clan’s people. Before she could even warm the seat up, a mass of black smoke suddenly appeared in the carriage, converging into the form of a dark-clothed man.

He had handsome features, but his face was deathly pale, and dark circles under his eyes were extremely pronounced, exuding a dark and gloomy air. His eyes, fixed on An Lin’er, bore a light and lifeless color, making him look almost like a dead person!

He spoke slowly, “You didn’t bring my Yu’er out with you.”

In an instant, his eyes turned dark and sinister, “You useless piece of trash, Will it make any difference whether you were dead or alive?”

Feeling the threat of losing her life, An Lin’er struggled frantically, and in her desperation, she cleverly came up with a plan. She sent a sound transmission into the man’s consciousness.

The man indeed stopped his actions, a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes. Then, he sat back with a grim expression, denying, “My Yu’er could never be interested in a woman…”

“Are you lying, you little useless thing?”

“Little kids who lie will be killed and turned into puppets, you know!”

An Lin’er quickly shook her head and sent another sound transmission to him.

After reading it, the man repeated Qu Panyan’s name several times, his expression becoming even more gloomy. He sat there silently, resembling a corpse with his quiet demeanor, truly a corpse with open eyes.

After a while, An Lin’er finally heard him murmur in a sinister tone, “The kid who snatch someone’s love will be torn into pieces…”
