After Becoming the Hero’s Ex-fiancée Chapter 128

Peach Blossom Dew (3)

Zheng Wan dodged backwards reflexively, and at that moment, the door of the room exploded with a ‘Boom’.

Before the wood shards even hit the ground, they had turned to dust

She turned her head to look, and saw a man dressed in the colour of frost, coming towards her as if crossing tens of thousands of years. Under his pitch-black eyes were a pair of thin lips stained with blood, and a raging dark current was whipping his white robes around him loudly. Under the head of inky-black hair, was a face so white it was almost transparent.

He stared at her as if he were a beast that was ready to pounce on the prey it had chosen.

“What kind of a scoundrel dares to come to my Xuan Yi Pavilion and make trouble?”

A procuress hurried upstairs, followed by a bunch of nosey cultivators. When they saw the man in front of the hole that had taken the door’s place, they were all startled. The procuress’s tones changed, “Li, Li Wei Zhenjun?”

“Scram.”

Cui Wang did not even turn his head.

However, Zheng Wan had already pushed Shu Yuan outwards. She raised her lips into a smile and said, “You’re here, Cui Wang.”

On the other side, the procuress scrambled down the stairs with everyone else. Ling Xuan Zhenren couldn’t help turning to look back, her face still full of astonishment, ‘That innate Dao core is actually really acquainted with Li Wei Zhenjun?’

But over here, Zheng Wan didn’t have the leisure to care about what others thought.

Cui Wang’s anger was even greater than she had imagined. In the time she took to open her mouth, he was already right before her, his hand gripping her slender neck, tightening more and more.

In the eyes that were always indifferent to all things, was hatred that cut to the bone.

“Zheng Wan, how dare you.”

Zheng Wan knew that he was enraged by the way she had forced him out of seclusion. She tore at his iron vice-like hand with both hands, her throat going “Eughhh”.

She stared into his eyes and said with great difficulty, “Cui, Cui Wang, did, did you, for— forget? You owe me a, a promise. I, I couldn’t fi— find you, so, so I could only resort to, to this.”

Her voice grew weaker and weaker. The light in her eyes was like that of a partridge’s he saw when he was young; that partridge bird had fallen into the ice cave, and when he picked it up, it had the same expression in his palm, weak and helpless.

Cui Wang abruptly let go of his hand and looked dazedly at his palm. A moment later, he clenched it again.

Zheng Wan covered her throat and coughed desperately. The instant she coughed, the tears that were still in the corners of her eyes rolled down.

She wiped them off, “Look, I bet right. You came after all.”

Granny Jin had said that if she was entangled with someone else, the holder of the dragon pendant would naturally know about it. With the addition of the effect of the love gu, if she really went all the way with someone else, she would suffer pain as if her heart was being gouged out and die——

If she died, he would die.

Zheng Wan did not believe that Cui Wang wouldn’t come.

She just didn’t expect that he would come so early.

The air in the room seemed to have frozen, containing the violence of an impending storm.

“Bam——”

Suddenly, all the glazed glass lamps along the corridors and in the building burst. The entire building went dark, with only the moonlight coming in coldly through the window.

Cui Wang squeezed her chin; the soft silk sleeve coldly brushed past her cheeks, nose, and corners of her lips. He wiped with concentration, and from up close, those eyes were like beautiful black onyx, extremely stunning, yet extremely cold.

“Rip——”

He tore off her goose-yellow outer robe expressionlessly.

In his hands, the low-grade sect robes were as fragile as mortal cloth.

His wiping hurt Zheng Wan, and she pushed him.

“What are you doing?”

“Don’t move.”

The look Cui Wang gave her made her entire body shiver; it was a coldness that was suppressing a violent fury, making one feel that a tremendous storm was coming.

When he finished wiping, he released her.

“What do you want me to do?”

“Help me find Granny Jin,” said Zheng Wan. “Granny Jin is that spirit from the transient realm.”

“Isn’t she with you?”

Cui Wang’s gaze fell on her body, then finally fixed on the lapels that had fallen open when she was struggling just now. On the patch of fair skin was the Phoenix Jade that was hanging from a silk thread.

Zheng Wan touched the Phoenix Jade.

“Really?”

“Of course,” Cui Wang nodded.

“Then, how can I find her?”

“When she recovers, she will naturally emerge from the Phoenix Jade.”

Zheng Wan was immediately overjoyed and seemed to have forgotten all the unpleasantness of a moment ago. Her watery eyes curved into a smile, like a pair of crescent moons.

“Before the love gu is lifted, you are not to be like that with others—”

Cui Wang seemed to be suppressing his emotions; he stared at her, and in his eyes was an indistinct fog, “—and do that kind of thing again.”

“Otherwise, once I dispel the gu, I will definitely kill you.”

Zheng Wan smiled and raised her cup.

“If you drink this wine, I’ll promise you.”
