Jialan Lianyi moistened his brush and wrote down the IOU. "Alright! Can I take Gu Li away now? "
"Who said you could take her away?" A clear voice sounded. Murong Qiqi, who had fainted in Feng Cang's embrace, suddenly stood up. Ruyi immediately handed the IOU over to please the little princess. Murong Qiqi looked through it carefully. After making sure there were no problems, she dried the ink and carefully kept the IOU.
"You tricked me!" Jialan Lianyi was completely speechless. Although he knew that Murong Qiqi was acting, the other party didn't care about that at all. She was completely fine now, causing him to lose a hundred thousand gold taels and become a joke in front of everyone.
"Young Master Jialan, you're wrong. You were the one who attacked first. How could it be this consort tricking you?! This consort is helping you! Just a hundred thousand gold taels saved the Southern Phoenix Country from a disaster. Young Master Jialan is truly a great hero of the Southern Phoenix Country! "Murong Qiqi smiled and slowly walked towards Jialan Lianyi.
"What are you doing?"
Jialan Lianyi was afraid of Murong Qiqi. He was afraid that she would fall on him again, so he dodged to the side before Murong Qiqi could get close.
"Heh …" Murong Qiqi only chuckled when she saw Jialan Lianyi's reaction. She went to Gu Li's side and asked, "Hey, are you dead?"
"Y-you poisonous woman, what do you want to do?" The blood at the corner of Gu Li's mouth had already turned into blood. She had to pause for a long time with every sentence. Every time she opened her mouth, blood would gush out like a fountain. It seemed like she didn't have long to live.
"This consort is only here to tell you that this consort doesn't object to your liking of men. Since men can have multiple wives and play around with women, why should a woman keep her chastity? Why should she abide by those morals and etiquette … However, you shouldn't have set your eyes on this consort's man. As long as this consort cares about something, even if it's a piece of clothing or a hairpin, I won't let anyone take it away, let alone this consort's man! "
"Heh … heh heh …" Gu Li chuckled when she heard Murong Qiqi's words. She felt as if she had met a confidant, but it was a pity that it was in such a place at such a time.
"Yes, it was my wishful thinking … wishful thinking …" Gu Li's chest heaved even more violently, but she tried her best to sit up with her hands. She looked at Feng Cang from afar.
The man was as white as jade and as cold as frost. Only when he looked at Murong Qiqi would the coldness in his eyes turn into gentleness.
Gu Li smiled bitterly. "So this is how mutual love works." Although she had many men, when they were with her, they were either addicted to her beauty, lusted after the pleasure of bed, or were pressured by her. She had never met a man who looked at her with such infatuation and gentleness.
"I-I take back my curse." Gu Li's chest was already dyed red by the blood that flowed out of her mouth. "Feng Cang, y-you're the first man that I've ever failed to have … I deserve to die in her hands today, but I don't regret it … It's just that … if you betray her in the future, I'll never forgive you, you heartless man!"
"You don't have to worry about that. She's my woman, and I'll do my best to protect her." Feng Cang stepped forward and hugged Murong Qiqi.
"Alright …" Gu Li slowly fell to the ground as tears rolled down her cheeks. Her beautiful eyes were wide open as she stared at Feng Cang in a daze, as if there was an indescribable regret in her heart.
Sigh …
For some reason, Murong Qiqi suddenly felt pity for Gu Li.
This world had harsh requirements for women. Women were the weak, and they had to rely on men to survive. Therefore, they had to be humble and obedient. They had to put their men at the center of everything and be toyed with by them. There were far too few women like Gu Li who were unconventional and bold enough to toy with 'men'. With the death of such a woman, the world had lost a weirdo …
Murong Qiqi squatted down and wiped Gu Li's eyelids. "Your Highness, let's find a place where we can see the mountains and rivers and bury Gu Li!"
Just a moment ago, they were enemies. Now, as a woman, the softness in Murong Qiqi's heart was ignited by Gu Li's final tears.
Which woman was not a pure flower in the beginning? Who didn't throw herself into the arms of a man with a longing for a beautiful love? However, after experiencing betrayal and deception, the flower of evil in a woman's heart would grow, and they would do things that deviated from the norm. Speaking of which, Gu Li was just a pitiful person.
"Alright!" Feng Cang helped Murong Qiqi up and instructed the servants to bury Gu Li. When Jialan Lianyi saw that Gu Li was dead, he frowned and hurriedly left with Londo.
"Interesting, interesting!"
Jia Lan took a sip of wine in the upper floor of the Immortal Inn. When he was upstairs just now, he saw everything clearly. At this moment, he finally understood why Feng Cang would choose Murong Qiqi. This woman was indeed talented and eye-catching. That dance just now almost made him dazed and blinded …
"Lord Jia Lan, the preliminaries are ready." The man in blue stepped forward with a respectful attitude. "Everything is ready. We're just waiting for the competition to begin."
"Good!" Jia Lan swallowed the last mouthful of wine and stood up. He took a deep look at Murong Qiqi. "Bring me to the competition venue. I want to inspect it personally."
"Yes!" The man in blue retreated to the side and followed behind Jia Lan. "Lord, we'll definitely surprise them in this preliminaries. I think it'll be good enough if three of them pass."
"Don't underestimate those people …" Jia Lan was not as optimistic as the man in blue. "There's always someone stronger than you."
"But Lord Misha's Seven Floors Pagoda is something that not many disciples can pass. Moreover, these contestants can't compare to our Penglai Island's people."
"Hehe, it's better to be safe than sorry. Who can guarantee that there aren't any dark horses among the contestants …" As he said this, the image of Murong Qiqi dancing in the snow suddenly popped up in Jia Lan's mind. He wondered if that woman would participate in the competition. If she did, the result would be something to look forward to!
The duel ended with Gu Li's death and Jialan Lianyi's compensation of 100,000 gold.
