Chapter 393: Shen Xitong vs. Shangguan

Shangguan Huanling has ascended already.

Her cultivation speed is insane!

Shangguan Huanling halted her charging steps, her eyes soft and watery, staring without blinking at Lu Ye.

"Lu Ye-gege, I missed you so much!"

"Did you miss me?"

Lu Ye...

He had no idea how Shangguan Huanling had the nerve to ask whether he missed her or not!

"How did she get in?" Lu Ye frowned and asked.

The Drunken Sword Taoist looked kinda stuck.

This Shangguan Huanling wouldn't stop with the 'Lu Ye-gege' this and 'Lu Ye-gege' that, and then there was Sun Ruowei, who introduced herself as Lu Ye's martial aunt.

He couldn't pin down Lu Ye's attitude toward the two, so he couldn't just drive them away outright.

Lu Ye also understood the Drunken Sword Taoist's dilemma and spoke up, "After expelling them this time, ban her from Tianmen Star."

"Lu Ye-gege, weren't you gonna forgive Hong Ling and Sister Bai? By that logic, shouldn't it be time to forgive me too? I only planted an Extinction Dao Seed in you—it was no big deal, and I've been on my best behavior lately, not doing anything to upset you. It's time to forgive me!" Shangguan Huanling said.

The Tianmen crew kept straight faces, heads bowed, but in reality, they were all ears.

Sun Ruowei also acted like she wasn't listening.

You two argue, you two argue properly—let us get our popcorn.

Lu Ye just laughed.

"Just an Extinction Dao Seed, is that it?"

Shangguan Huanling considered what the others pulled and nodded firmly.

"Yes, the Extinction Dao Seed isn't that harmful to you."

"Ding, host!"

The system pinged in his head.

Lu Ye kept a straight face but silently communicated with the system.

"What is it?"

"Ding, I've decided—I want to fight Shangguan the fool!"

The system seemed to have worked up the nerve.

Shangguan had pissed her off.

"Aren't you afraid of her?"

"Ding, that's exactly why, I must confront my fears. I refuse to believe that I, the great Shen Xitong, can't take down some fool!"

Originally, upon hearing Shangguan Huanling's words, Lu Ye was ready to knock her out directly. But now, the system had jumped in first.

A flicker of reaction crossed Lu Ye's face.

Ahem...

Shen Xitong vs. Shangguan Huanling?

There's really going to be a clash like this?

Shen Xitong has always been renowned for her razor-sharp wit, specializing in pulling opponents into her logical traps and ruthlessly targeting their weaknesses.

She has an extremely keen sense for vulnerabilities.

Against someone reckless like Yue Hongling, she plays the sweet, demure card to counter brute force, pushing Yue Hongling to her breaking point.

With Bai Qiulan, she gives her a taste of her own medicine.

Against Vermilion Bird, she gets down in the dirt with her rather than letting her hold the moral high ground.

But Shangguan Huanling—she doesn’t follow the script!

You can bet this will be a tremendous challenge for Shen Xitong.

Lu Ye was here for it—he couldn’t wait!

"Let's get started!"

Lu Ye couldn’t wait to watch.

"Ding, kick everyone else out!"

Shen Xitong’s voice was grave.

This was bound to be a fierce battle—she couldn’t afford to lose her dignity.

Lu Ye didn’t know whether to laugh or facepalm.

"Everyone, clear out. Shangguan Huanling, stay. I have something to say to you!"

The members of Tianmen were practically holding their breath, trying to fade into the walls, but they were still ordered out...

They really, really didn’t want to go...

"Out!"

Lu Ye’s voice hardened.

Everyone flinched and slunk away.

Lin Chuyue, dead serious, walked behind Lu Ye. "What if she tries something? I’ll stay to protect you!"

Lu Ye...

"Scram!"

Lin Chuyue sighed. "Please, I beg you—can I just stay here like a fly on the wall? I’m dying to hear this!"

Lu Ye drew back his hand.

"Okay, okay! I’m going!"

Lin Chuyue left with an overwhelming amount of resentment—so immense it could practically resurrect a dozen Evil Sword Immortals.

Lu Ye’s gaze finally landed on Sun Ruowei.

Sun Ruowei’s lips moved slightly.

“Well, I stayed behind to ensure Huanling’s safety. What if you… have ill intentions toward her?”

“Oh, Master Sun, if Lu Ye wants me, how could that be called ill intentions? It’d be mutual desire!”

Lu Ye…

Sun Ruowei…

“Then I’ll stay. Lu Ye is my junior disciple, and I’m worried you might have ill intentions toward him…”

“Master, just go already! I know exactly what Lu Ye wants—hurry up and leave!”

Shangguan Huanling impatiently pushed Sun Ruowei out.

Lu Ye was surprised.

She could guess what he wanted to do?

No way…

“Stop pushing, I’ll leave on my own!”

*So annoying!*

Sun Ruowei took a deep breath, and her figure instantly turned to mist before vanishing.

<

Lu Ye…

With a casual wave of his hand, a yelp of pain echoed out of nowhere. The main hall’s doors swung open and shut—Sun Ruowei had been tossed out.

Now the hall was completely empty.

However, a crowd could be seen pressed against the doors, trying desperately to eavesdrop on even a single word from inside.

But a simple sound barrier was all it took to render their efforts futile.

Shangguan Huanling’s face broke into a bright smile.

She reached down and undid her sash, letting her combat skirt fall open to reveal the armor beneath. Unhesitatingly, she continued undressing.

She was moments away from removing her armor underneath.

Her smooth shoulders were already showing.

Lu Ye’s eyelids twitched violently as he snapped, “What are you doing?!”

Shangguan Huanling’s voice was full of utter certainty, her expression one of understanding.

“Lu Ye, since your rebirth, you probably haven’t had this kind of pleasure yet. I know you well—let me help you take care of those urges first, then you can do whatever you want with me. How does that sound?”

Still undressing, she moved closer to him.

Lu Ye took a deep breath, massaging his temples in frustration.

She completely fails to grasp the situation.

Does she think Lu Ye drove everyone out just to engage in something indecent with her?

Shen Xitong couldn't contain herself any longer—she appeared in a flash.

"Stop!"

Shangguan Huanling froze, staring at Shen Xitong with a spark of admiration in her eyes.

So beautiful!

This was her first time seeing Shen Xitong, though she had heard before that Lu Ye had an incredibly beautiful woman by his side.

Now that she saw her, it was indeed true. Forget Lu Ye—even Shangguan Huanling was instantly charmed.

She paused briefly.

Her expression turned troubled.

Shen Xitong immediately laughed. Hmph, this idiot isn't so intimidating after all!

Scared by my breathtaking beauty, aren't you?

As expected, no one compares to her!

"Oh well, Brother Lu Ye. This was supposed to be my first time after rebirth, and I wanted you to cherish me properly. But since this little sister wants to join in, we can attend to Brother Lu Ye together!"
