Chapter 1901: Chapter 1897: He Doesn’t Know Her
"What, what are you saying? I don’t understand."
Tang Ming frowned slightly, looking vigilantly at the woman in the black robe: "What is the Huaxia Secret Technique? I’ve never heard of it."
"You don’t need to pretend! Although you’ve modified the Huaxia Secret Technique to fool others, you can’t deceive my eyes."
The woman in the black robe propped herself up, looking assuredly at Tang Ming: "No one understands Yun Potian better than I do. I witnessed him perform Huaxia Secret Technique countless times, and the move you just used is the Sword Dominating the World from Huaxia Secret Technique."
Tang Ming locked his gaze on the woman in the black robe for a long time, and after confirming there was no one else around, he asked suspiciously: "Who exactly are you?"
"My name is Li Miaoyun, I am Yun Potian’s wife."
Li Miaoyun took off the hood of her black robe, revealing a face of stunning beauty.
"Ssss..."
Seeing her appearance, Tang Ming took a deep breath, admitting that in his aesthetic eyes, the woman in front of him was a rare beauty.
"No wonder my master lost his mind over this woman, indeed heroes truly struggle with beauty."
Tang Ming swallowed, looking coldly at Li Miaoyun: "Even if what you say is true, you plotted against my master back then, killing you is only right."
"No, don’t! You misunderstood; I was actually forced."
Li Miaoyun quickly shook her head: "It was all my brother Li Miaokong’s coercion. I am not interested in cultivation myself, and I was only a one-star martial master back then, and have remained at that level for many years. I really didn’t want to harm him."
"You became a martial general through the radiation of the Ancient Poison Crystal Core back then, right?"
Tang Ming sneered and curled his lip.
"Indeed! After harming Yun Potian, we became enemies of the Martial Arts world. My brother and I then joined the medical competition and came to this place, mysteriously advancing to martial general, immune to the poison gas released by the Ancient Poison Crystal Core."
Li Miaoyun nodded, smiling wryly: "Although we weren’t afraid of poison, the four monsters guarding the Ancient Poison Crystal Core were too powerful, and we couldn’t break the formation, so we had to give up. We were incorporated by the Three-Life Sect, creating the Netherworld Road, I was really forced."
"What is the Three-Life Sect?"
Tang Ming looked clueless.
"The so-called Three-Life Sect is Nangong Tianyue’s Supreme Sect. Before the Netherworld Road, the Three-Life Sect managed the matters of this ancient city, but no one knew until my brother and I rose up that they entrusted this task to me."
Li Miaoyun quickly responded, pitifully looking at Tang Ming: "Nangong Tianyue represents the Three-Life Sect, otherwise, I wouldn’t follow his orders."
"Things seem to be really complicated."
Tang Ming nodded in realization. He previously felt that the Netherworld Road had just risen, but the medical competition had a long legacy, and now it’s clear that there’s a Three-Life Sect behind the Netherworld Road.
"I’ve told you everything; can you let me go?"
Li Miaoyun pleaded with Tang Ming: "I genuinely loved your master and regret hurting him."
"Telling me this is useless. I’m not him; I see no need to spare you."
Murderous intent rose in Tang Ming’s eyes, killing this woman would be avenging his master.
"Wait, your master loves me, if you kill me, he’d be really angry."
Feeling Tang Ming’s killing intent, Li Miaoyun quickly shouted.
"This..."
Hearing this, Tang Ming hesitated.
Yun Potian almost compromised his own safety for this woman, which shows he had real feelings for her. Just killing her might feel disrespectful to Yun Potian.
"If you don’t believe me, give him a call, he’ll surely not want me dead."
Li Miaoyun looked confidently at Tang Ming.
"My phone’s out of battery, how can I call my master?"
Tang Ming grumbled, rolling his eyes.
"I have one, I have one."
Li Miaoyun quickly pulled out a special black cellphone: "Normal phones don’t get a signal here, but this is a satellite phone, it can be used."
"Alright, I’ll call my master then."
Tang Ming took the phone and dialed the lunatic’s number.
"Hey! What’s up, I’m playing games with Xiaoli now, spit it out."
The lunatic’s impatient voice echoed.
"Playing games?"
Tang Ming’s mouth twitched, wasn’t the lunatic supposed to be teaching Li Xiaoli cultivation? How did they end up gaming together?
"You’re annoying, why aren’t you moving, I’m about to die."
Li Xiaoli’s disgruntled voice chimed in.
"Damn, speak up!"
"Uh, master, I ran into someone, a woman named Li Miaoyun, she claims to be my master’s wife and asks me not to kill her."
Tang Ming glanced at Li Miaoyun, bothering to explain, he straightforwardly asked: "What should I do with her?"
"Li Miaoyun?"
The lunatic’s voice turned deep.
"Yes."
"Huff, huff, I don’t recognize this woman."
After a pause, the lunatic coldly replied.
"So, your meaning is?"
Tang Ming was bewildered.
"Your cultivation of the Huaxia Secret Technique must remain unknown."
The lunatic said, hanging up before allowing conversations with Li Xiaoli.
"What’s going on?"
Tang Ming looked in disbelief at the phone, although the lunatic didn’t state it outright, that last sentence "Your cultivation of Huaxia Secret Technique must remain unknown" had already sentenced Li Miaoyun to death.
"What did he say? Didn’t he tell you not to kill me, and ask me to continue serving him?"
Li Miaoyun looked hopefully at Tang Ming: "He truly loves me, I still love him. If you spare me, I’ll surely make amends to him."
"Haha, my master said he doesn’t recognize you."
Tang Ming let out a mocking laugh, putting away the phone.
"What? How could he?"
Li Miaoyun’s face turned pale.
"Even if what you said is true, considering how you hurt him back then, I wouldn’t forgive either."
Tang Ming looked at Li Miaoyun with disgust.
"This this..."
Li Miaoyun was at a loss for words, then suddenly smiled radiantly at Tang Ming: "Hey handsome, am I beautiful? Even someone like Yun Potian was obsessed with me. Now I’m cultivated and ageless, still beautiful, right?"
"What do you mean?"
Tang Ming looked baffled at Li Miaoyun, researching her beauty amidst life and death, is she crazy?
"Annoying!"
Li Miaoyun rolled her eyes at Tang Ming, tearing her jacket open to reveal her bosom: "If you spare me, I’ll belong to you. Although I’m slightly older, my body and appearance is by no means inferior to those younger girls, and as a mature woman, I guarantee you’ll experience unprecedented pleasure."
