"Wait!" That black clothed conical bamboo hat wearing woman suddenly moved, blocking Yu Qiuyu.
"Out of the way!" Yu Qiuyu glared at her, inwardly saying that he was helping her out, yet she was still stopping him, simply unreasonable!
"Do you want to die? This is Li Ku we are talking about!" The woman ran over, not worried that the Thirteen Styles would accidentally injure her. She moved aside the sword, blocking Yu Qiuyu behind her, and then said to Li Ku with an apologetic smile, "Senior, please calm your anger. Just now, it was all this junior's fault, I apologize." After saying this, she twisted Yu Qiuyu's hand, and then walked out.
"What are you doing?" Before Yu Qiuyu could react, he was already dragged out of the wine shop.
As soon as the two of them left, a manservant dressed individual ran over, respectfully bowing towards Li Ku. "Sir, the Lord heard that your distinguished self arrived here, so he sent me to invite you over for some tea."
Even though Li Ku wasn't satisfied with a manservant coming, since he had a favor to ask, it wasn't good for him to put on airs. He called over Bai Xing and followed him.
The wine shop became lively again. The Jianghu guests who left and then returned began to discuss privately, all of them incredibly excited over Li Ku's appearance, thinking that something big was going to happen.
An older one who had more experience and knowledge heard their conversation, saying with disdain, "Heng, what do you all think that Li Ku came for?"
"Oh, old bro, you know?" Another one said.
The older one said in a bit of a show-off manner, "This Li Ku, he single-handedly opposed the human realm's imperial court, even wanted to invade the Imperial City, but was stopped at the city gate, even the Hidden Treasure sealed. Heng, do you all think he came to stir up trouble? Isn't he still the same as us, for the sake of making a wish to the Lord, undoing that seal? Otherwise, wouldn't his reputation as the human realm's Su Beike be completely undeserved? "
As soon as he finished speaking, a shrill sound pierced through the air. The roof was instantly reduced to ashes, scaring the crowd of Jianghu people to the ground. They did not dare to move until the cold wind blew in. Only then did they wake up. Immediately, like frightened mice, they scurried in all directions and disappeared without a trace.
Meanwhile, the bamboo hatted woman dragged Yu Qiuyu all the way to the foot of the mountain, only when she didn't see a single figure did she let go, saying in rebuke, "You really are muddle-headed. Who do you think that Li Ku is? Even if the will is sealed, a single thought is enough to wipe out your body and spirit, yet you actually don't know the difference between life and death, provoking him!"
"It has nothing to do with you!" Yu Qiuyu struggled out of the woman's grip and turned around to return to the tavern.
The woman said, "Just now, I saw Soundwave Manor send someone down, they should be here to invite Li Ku. If you go back now, he won't be here either."
Yu Qiuyu stopped moving, hatefully turning around to look at the woman. "You dare stop me from avenging my father's death, then you can use your life to taste it!" After speaking, he raised his sword and stabbed out.
The woman suddenly removed her bamboo hat. Not only did she not retreat, she instead stuck out her chest and faced the attack. "Just stab me to death, then consider it as completing what I couldn't complete in Tianjing."
Thirteen Puppets stopped halfway. When Yu Qiuyu saw the woman's face, he stared blankly. "It's you!" Immediately afterwards, his anger became even greater. "You witch, I let you go last time, yet you still dare appear before me!"
The woman was precisely the survivor from Moulin Rouge, the orange clothed woman. "Just stab me to death." She instead moved even closer, as if she was facing death calmly, accompanied by a bit of hidden bitterness. "Those who cannot obtain love, there is no meaning in living."
These words stirred up great waves within Yu Qiuyu's heart. The hand that was moving the sword first became soft. His expression dimmed, as if all his vitality had been stripped away in an instant. He slowly turned around and walked away.
"Hey hey, you haven't killed me yet, so don't even think about going anywhere!" Orange Dress chased after him relentlessly. Noticing his strange state, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? What happened? "She grabbed his arm to prevent him from leaving.
Yu Qiuyu didn't resist, only standing there in a daze. It was unknown which layer of heaven his soul had flown to.
Such a familiar expression, it was extremely similar to how her sisters usually talked about her. Orange Dress's heart felt as if it had been ruthlessly cut by a knife. "That's right, you also have that person you deeply love. Did she also reject you?"
Yu Qiuyu didn't speak.
Orange Dress then continued, minding her own business. "Or, does she also have someone she deeply loves?"
An extremely deep pain flashed through Yu Qiuyu's eyes.
Orange Dress saw this and immediately understood. Her bright eyes were filled with craftiness. "So you came to Crouching Dragon Mountain Villa to ask the Lord to help you fulfill your wish of forgetting her?"
Yu Qiuyu remained silent. It seemed like she was right.
Orange Dress chuckled. "What treasure do you have to offer? What hasn't the Hidden Dragon Lord seen before? Why would he want something from a young brat like you?"
"It's none of your business." Yu Qiuyu coldly flung her hand away and continued walking in another direction.
Orange Dress didn't move. She laughed for a while before suddenly saying, "If I can help you ask for a wish, will you still ignore me like this?"
Yu Qiuyu couldn't help but turn around to look at her. "Really?"
"That Hidden Dragon Lord owes me a favor. Of course it's true." Orange Dress smiled.
"You're willing to help me?" Yu Qiuyu asked.
"Of course, it's not without conditions." Orange Dress said.
"What conditions?" Yu Qiuyu frowned. He didn't seem very tempted. "You're also here to ask for it."
"Yes." Orange Dress said.
"What do you want?" Yu Qiuyu asked.
Orange Dress was still smiling, but there was a hint of determination in her voice. "I want to become a human and find another person to love. If I'm a human, I can love him."
Yu Qiuyu still turned around and walked away. "Then you can keep it for yourself."
"That person is you!" Orange Dress shouted. "I don't want anyone else. I want you, Yu Qiuyu. If you're willing to be with me and don't care if I'm a human or a demon, I won't need that wish. You can use it to forget the pain. That's my condition. "
"I don't agree." Yu Qiuyu didn't even turn his head.
Orange Dress was taken aback. She hurriedly chased after him. "Why? Isn't this taking what we need? It's a good thing for both of us. "
Yu Qiuyu said, "You don't have true love, so how can you understand? You don't even have a human heart, so how can you understand? Even if I forget her, I won't fall in love with you. "
"How do you know I don't have true love?" Orange Dress was unconvinced. "You've never been with me. How do you know I don't love you?"
"It has nothing to do with me." Yu Qiuyu said coldly.
"It has something to do with you!" Orange Shirt hurried forward and pulled Yu Qiuyu back. He looked him in the eyes seriously and bravely. "Back then, when I saw you outside the examination hall, I thought about you every day. I thought about you and tried to collect any information about you. The Moulin Rouge has been destroyed. I have nowhere to go. If I don't have you for the rest of my life, I'd rather die. "
Yu Qiuyu opened his mouth but didn't say a word. He suddenly felt a sense of inferiority. Compared to the Orange Robes, he had only been secretly infatuated with her. He had never taken any actual action, yet he still thought that she would come looking for him. Only when he was in her embrace did he realize that no one would wait for him. Hoping that she would take the initiative was a fool's dream.
Instead of suffering like this, it was better to take this opportunity to change.
He suddenly grabbed Orange Dress's hand and said seriously, "That wish, are you really willing to give it to me?"
Orange Dress smiled sweetly and said gently, "I am willing to give you everything I have."
"Okay!"
A few minutes later, the two of them sat in Soundwave Manor's guest room. Opposite them were Li Ku and Bai Xing.
Li Ku looked coldly at Yu Qiuyu. Yu Qiuyu didn't want to show weakness and stared back coldly.
"The Lord has arrived!" A man who looked like a butler shouted.
A few people came out from the back of the hall. A doddering elder walked out under the support of three identical young ladies.
"Cough cough, this old man has been slow …"
The Crouching Dragon Lord didn't seem young anymore. He coughed lightly and sat down with the support of the young ladies. He first said to Li Ku with a bitter smile, "Daoist Priest Li should have heard that this old man has long stopped doing that kind of business. Only at this age did I realize that there is no treasure that can compare to a person's lifespan. At this point, this old man already has one foot in the coffin and has nothing more to ask for. "
One of the young ladies said angrily, "Hmph, seeing my master's appearance, you should know that he doesn't have much lifespan left to squander. If you want to ask for a wish, please don't open your mouth."
"Don't open your mouth, hmph," the other two said in unison.
The Crouching Dragon Lord then looked at Orange Dress. "So it's Miss Orange Dress. You once saved the lives of these three girls, and I promised you a wish. Are you here today to ask for it?"
"One doesn't come without a cause. I hope the Lord can fulfill the promise from back then." Orange Dress smiled.
"A man's promise is worth its weight in gold. Since you have already made a promise, you can't go back on it. Please come to the back of the hall." The Crouching Dragon Lord said and gestured to the butler.
"Wait!" Li Ku suddenly said.
The Crouching Dragon Lord looked over. "Daoist Priest Li, it's not that this old man is deliberately targeting you, but I have no choice but to fulfill the promise from back then."
Li Ku said coldly, "I don't care what kind of deal you have with her. Just listen to my price. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Then please speak." The Crouching Dragon Lord could only say.
"Your three disciples can cultivate with me," Li Ku said.
The Crouching Dragon Lord was moved when he heard this. "Are you serious?"
Li Ku said, "Of course."
Orange Dress rolled her eyes and sneered, "Is that so? What can they learn from cultivating with you?"
Li Ku glanced at Orange Dress and said, "Since I've accepted them, I'll naturally teach them everything I know. Is there a need for you to say anything?"
"Who knows? You have a disciple to begin with, so we all know how biased you are." Orange Dress still sneered.
"Do you want to die?" Li Ku said.
Orange Dress said, "You dare to kill people in Soundsurf Manor?"
"Please calm down. Both of you have your own difficulties, so why fight each other?" The Crouching Dragon Lord hurriedly tried to calm them down. He didn't want his manor to be demolished.
"Will the Lord agree or not?" Li Ku said.
Before the Crouching Dragon Lord said anything, the three sisters said in unison, "Humph, Master, don't agree. I don't want to cultivate with him."
Li Ku's reputation outside was so great, but it was not useful here. First, there was a hotheaded young man who wanted to seek revenge on him. Then, there was a woman with a big mouth who ruined his plans. Now, even these three girls didn't give him any face at all. It made him unbearably angry.
"Fine, if I don't get what I want today, none of you will live."
