Chapter 37: A Woman’s Heart, a Needle at the Bottom of the Sea

Sure enough, when Lei Qing stared at her face and her eyes in a presumptuous manner, she did not expect it. Suddenly, a trace of panic subconsciously revealed itself in her eyes, which were like a pool of autumn water. But immediately, she squeezed out a cold light. A hint of ferocity appeared on her flushed face, and she scolded in a low voice with her hoarse voice: “What are you doing?”

“I just want to look at you before I die.” In Lei Qing’s eyes, there was stubbornness and determination. He stared fixedly at her eyes, her brows, her cheeks, and even her lips.

Leng Yuewu’s state of mind was unsteady at this moment. Under Lei Qing’s unbridled and fiery gaze, her eyes could not help but dodge. Her soft chest pressed against Lei Qing’s body also rose and fell unevenly with her nervous breathing. After remaining silent for the time it takes to drink a small cup of tea, she seemed unable to withstand his focused gaze from such a close distance anymore. Her pearly white teeth bit her lip as she scolded in a low voice: “Have you looked enough? The third condition, after you finish speaking, I will kill you.”

“The third condition is.” Lei Qing’s burning eyes gradually turned gentle. He extended his hand with a slight tremble and gently stroked her cheek. Just as her delicate body stiffened and she seemed about to change her expression, Lei Qing whispered softly: “You must promise me that from now on, you will take good care of yourself. Don’t be so desperate or take risks anymore. Also, you must wear a soft leather inner armor. Don’t think it doesn’t matter just because your Fighting Qi is profound. There are too many despicable and treacherous villains like Situ Nan in this world, and it is impossible to guard against them. Forget about me, don’t remember anything from today. I am just an insignificant nobody. In your life, I am just a passerby, not worth you remembering.”

As Lei Qing murmured, her exquisite body, which had been almost torn apart in the madness and was half-covered, gradually softened amidst the trembling while it was stiff. Throughout her life, she had never heard a man give her such rambling instructions. His words revealed deep concern. Was this his last condition? Was he being real, or was he acting?

At this moment, Leng Yuewu could no longer judge. However, those rambling words touched the softest part of her heart. But, at this moment, she still hardened her heart and said in a low voice: “Your three requests have all been said. I will help you complete them. Now, I will send you on your way.”

After Leng Yuewu finished speaking, she raised one hand. She sucked the Ice Soul Sword from the ground not far away into her hand. With an extremely strange posture, she stabbed the sword towards Lei Qing’s neck.

At this moment, Lei Qing had a strong impulse and desire to immediately jump up and escape. But he knew that Leng Yuewu had already recovered some Fighting Qi. Even if he ran fast, he could not escape her pursuit. And Lei Qing also trusted his judgment of women very much; he had done everything he needed to do.

Based on his guess, the probability that Leng Yuewu still had the intention to kill him was already low. To jump out and escape rashly would only tell her that what he said before was completely nonsense. Not only would all previous efforts be wasted, but it would also provoke her real anger, and she would truly want to kill him.

Naturally, it could not be ruled out that Lei Qing’s scheme had indeed not dispelled Leng Yuewu’s killing intent, and she really wanted to kill him at this moment.

But regardless, Lei Qing would take full responsibility for his decision. Since he had decided to gamble with his life, he had to gamble to the end. Giving up halfway would only make everything fall apart.

Forcibly suppressing the impulse to counterattack in his heart, Lei Qing slowly opened his eyes and stared fixedly at her eyes. He pursed his lips and did not say a word. But in his eyes, there was a faint trace of pity. It was as if he was calmly waiting for her to send the sword edge into his throat.

Also, when making this final decision, Lei Qing had considered Leng Yuewu’s action of summoning the sword. With her strength of the Holy Rank and profound Fighting Qi, and with him not resisting, if she truly wanted to kill, she could condense Ice Fighting Qi and shatter and freeze his heart veins with one palm. Why take the long way around and use a sword to make it so bloody?

Her strange behavior gave Lei Qing a few more chips of certainty. However, in this world, there are no truly certain things. Before things are settled, anything can happen.

Just when Lei Qing appeared calm on the surface but his heart was about to jump out. Leng Yuewu’s Ice Soul Sword just stayed at his neck. The sharp sword edge pierced his skin, and a trace of blood flowed down the sword edge, but was immediately frozen into ice by the innate coldness of the Ice Soul Sword.

“Aren’t you afraid of death?” Leng Yuewu’s voice was trembling.

“Afraid, I am scared to death. Who isn’t afraid of the unknown?” Lei Qing said in a low, trembling voice: “Senior Leng, can you move a little faster? Let me die a quick death, even if I die.”

“Alright, I will let you die a quick death right now.” Leng Yuewu seemed to be stared at by Lei Qing’s eyes until she became angry from shame, and her emotions were a bit out of control. She didn’t use the sword this time, but directly raised her fair palm and slapped it on Lei Qing’s heart.

Thick and majestic Ice Fighting Qi surged in. In an instant, Lei Qing’s heart froze abruptly. Lei Qing’s pupils widened as he gradually lost his spirit.

Leng Yuewu slowly stood up. The rich Ice Fighting Qi had turned into thick mist, wrapping her whole body. It made it impossible for people to see her perfect body, which was like that of a Goddess. She took out a set of spare clothes from her Spatial Ring. Only after putting them on did she look at Lei Qing, who was lying dead on the spot, with an extremely complex gaze.

At this moment, Lei Qing’s body was already stiff, and his body was a pale color from being frozen.

After staring straight at him for a long time, Zuo Qianqian not far away seemed to let out a soft cry, looking as if she was about to wake up. Only then did Leng Yuewu suddenly come back to her senses. She flew away gracefully. She hadn’t flown far when she saw the villain Situ Nan, whose head was separated from his body, lying dead by the mountain stream.

Immediately, on that face which was like a Fairy but cold as frost, a look of disgust and anger appeared. She snorted coldly and slapped out with one palm. With a slap, she smashed that wretched and hideous head into pulp.

With a wave of her cloud sleeve, she whipped up a cold wind and swept the remains of Situ Nan’s body into the mountain stream, letting them flow down with the rushing water of the mountain stream. In this Heavenly Ridge Mountain Range where Demonic Beasts roamed, there were plenty of wild beasts to clean up the corpse. Leng Yuewu hated this scoundrel to the extreme and wanted his body to be buried in the bellies of snakes and insects.

Immediately after, she displayed her exquisite movement technique and floated away against the cool breeze of the mountain stream.

On this side, Zuo Qianqian had been unconscious for an unknown amount of time. When she faintly woke up, she looked around in a daze. But she saw that her Brother Lei was actually naked, his whole body frozen stiff, lying on the tiger skin mat.

“Brother Lei.” Zuo Qianqian’s heart tightened. She hurriedly scrambled forward. Seeing his frozen appearance, she quickly checked his breath. Immediately, her expression became extremely horrified, and she screamed in panic: “Brother Lei, you can’t die, you absolutely can’t die. This, what exactly happened?”

In Zuo Qianqian’s memory, she was still at the moment when she blocked a palm for Lei Qing. However, looking left and right, she could only see fragments of clothes all over the ground. There were Lei Qing’s, and there were also those snow-white clothes.

“Brother Lei, don’t die, please, come back to life quickly.” Zuo Qianqian checked Lei Qing’s heartbeat again. Sure enough, even his heartbeat had stopped. For a moment, Zuo Qianqian could not hold it in anymore. She threw herself onto Lei Qing’s body and cried loudly: “Brother, how did you die so unjustly? You, what should I do? Grandpa is dead, and Brother is dead too. God, why do you treat Qianqian like this? Is it because Qianqian hasn’t done well enough?”

The mournful and heartbreakingly sad crying echoed continuously in the mountain stream.
