Ling Qing Zhu was now in the Skull Sword Party, smothered in a room that had minimal lighting.
His face was still covered in a thin veil and his eyes remained calm even though it was not so with his feelings.
Gong Zitao sat on a chair, right in front of him. Since then the young man continued to talk and like venting what had been hidden for a long time, even to the recognition of his love that made Ling Qing Zhu uncomfortable.
The White Cat Xiao Shuxiang remained silent. His body was still stiff and behind his calmness, he tried to try to move his fingers while still listening to Gong Zitao's words.
"I don't really want to be like this. But you gave me no choice, Miss Ling. You know exactly how I feel, but you'd rather not see it."
"........"
Ling Qing Zhu did not say anything.
Since being brought here by Gong Zitao until now, he had come to understand that he had accidentally hurt this young man and that made him start to make a sound.
"Young Master Gong, there's no point in you discussing this matter. I have to help a lot of people,"
"Then what about me? You're good to them, those strangers .... But not to me, why? Do I look bad to you?"
"You look bad now."
Ling Qing Zhu's voice was cold. He actually did not intend to offend the young man before him, he simply wanted for Gong Zitao to realize his mistake.
"Take me off, Young Master Gong. Punishment Sect Pagoda Sky .... It could make you die."
"Hmph, beautiful voice .... Miss Ling. I know the risks of my actions. It's worth it to get a girl as pretty as you." Gong Zitao smiled, he was quite handsome even though his face had a slight splash of blood.
Ling Qing Zhu with a calm voice jutted, "You can get me if you manage to kill my Guardian. That was the rule of the Sky Pagoda Sect, not in this kind of dirty manner."
Hearing his words made Gong Zitao give him a strange look. The young man stood up from his seat and took two steps closer.
"You want me to kill your Guardian? Xiao Shuxiang's? Don't you like it?"
"That's the rule. Not having a relationship with feeling like it or not."
Ling Qing Zhu was indeed like this. It is difficult to know how the white-haired girl really feels if she sees from her way of speaking that is always calm, cold, authoritative and seems more concerned with rules than others.
Generally. A girl should have a fearful expression, or at least be filled with anger from being kidnapped by her own schoolmates just because of a heart problem. However this Ling Qing Zhu was different. Let alone being angry, he even acted as usual and as if he still tolerated Gong Zitao.
"Why are you acting like this? The rules of the Sky Pagoda Sect aren't it unfair to you? Come to think of it, you still have the right to refuse marriage to Xiao Shuxiang, why would you agree to it?"
"Because he's my Guardian."
"He killed your uncle. You want to marry the man who killed your uncle?"
"That's the rule."
!!
Gong Zitao clucked in annoyance. Always the Rules! Rules and Rules!, why did this girl never choose based on her own wishes?! Ling Qing Zhu was too fixated on the rules of the sect and therefore his feelings until now had never been avenged.
"Can't you marry someone by your own choice? Have you never loved anyone else in all this time?!" Gong Zitao was already in front of Ling Qing Zhu and was in a state of holding both the arms of the white-haired girl.
Ling Qing Zhu was actually jolted, yet his facial expression remained unchanged. If it was this close, he really knew Gong Zitao had a look that made him a little anxious.
Gong Zitao, "Did you never .... Like me?"
!!
Gong Zitao's voice was quiet, unlike before. Even now, his tone was somewhat lower with a slowly softening hand grip.
Ling Qing Zhu felt Gong Zitao's face getting closer, the young man's eyes also slowly closing as he got closer to her. If he remained silent, something bad might happen.
"I .... Likes Shuxiang."
Ling Qing Zhu said it without thinking. This young man's nose would have touched his nose if he hadn't spoken so. Gong Zitao was shocked to the point of distancing his face.
The conditions that happened just now were really stressful for Ling Qing Zhu.
"You... You like .... Xiao Shuxiang..?" Gong Zitao did not believe what he had just heard. But after hearing Ling Qing Zhu mutter, she felt like her previously tight heartbeat suddenly stopped.
Gong Zitao, "Why do you like that young man? He's just a stranger, not like me. We grew up together and I know you well. Why do you have to like him..? Don't you know the identity of Xiao Shuxiang? He is the reincarnation of the Destroying Star. The monster that killed his own father and mother..! Do you know that?!"
"Mrs,"
!!
Gong Zitao was not in deep thought with the girl before him. Ling Qing Zhu already knew the identity of Xiao Shuxiang, but still married the young man. What exactly did this girl see to the liking of someone like Xiao Shuxiang?! What did that person have, and he himself did not have it?!
"Why..? Why do you like her..?"
Ling Qing Zhu did not know what else to do with Gong Zitao until this young man understood. He did not like to talk too much, but was instead forced to answer the young man's curiosity.
"Xiao Shuxiang's.. He never took care of his wife. He said whatever he wanted directly even though it was embarrassing. His attitude is frank, unlike yours." Ling Qing Zhu paused for a moment and noticed Gong Zitao's facial expression.
Ling Qing Zhu, "You and I did grow up together. But you've changed a lot now. You seem to have 'another face behind your head', while my Guardian Guardians are not."
Ling Qing Zhu did not care about Xiao Shuxiang's past which was the reincarnation of the Destroying Star, including the fact that the Alchemist Chef killed his own father and mother in a previous life.
To him, the current Xiao Shuxiang was different from the Xiao Shuxiang that existed in the past. The young man could have been stamped ruthless and reputed to be a criminal, but he would still choose him.
Ling Qing Zhu was much more fond of criminals who never lied, than people who looked good-but had two faces. He doesn't like Gong Zitao.
"You chose it.. You never gave me a chance!"
"I've always been watching you."
!?
Gong Zitao was surprised by Ling Qing Zhu's remark. This girl said what she had never imagined before. He looked for lies at the glare of eyes as clear as the blue sky, yet he did not find it.
"You said.. Watching me?"
"always. I've always been watching you. You're good to everyone. You are good to me and I appreciate you. But sometimes I see your nature change. It makes me feel like your kindness to me is also just a falsehood and now you prove it by doing all this."
"No.. That's not true. I'm very sincere to you, Miss Ling. I did all this because I love you. I really love you..!" Gong Zitao this time grabbed Ling Qing Zhu's hand and held it tightly.
She was honestly happy when she found out this girl said she was always paying attention to herself. It meant that he had never been ignored like everyone else and it also meant that there was a possibility of Ling Qing Zhu putting her heart on him.
Usually a girl only pays attention to the young man she likes. If Ling Qing Zhu was paying attention to him, then indeed this girl was putting a taste on him.
"What do you see of me, Gong Zitao?" Ling Qing Zhu could not move his hands until he resigned his hands. But his facial expression now turned serious.
!?
His question just made Gong Zitao look at him fixedly and full of astonishment. He himself was not affected by it and asked again.
"What do you see of me? Why did you fall in love with me to do this? What's your excuse?"
"What are you talking about? We grew up together and many things we have been through, it is natural that love is present. You must have it too."
!!
Ling Qing Zhu gasped at Gong Zitao's reply, he seemed to not believe this young man could say so so clearly. And whether we realize it or not.. His eyes turned a little bad.
"My Guardian says there's no reason to love someone, but you have it. You just like this face, don't you?"
!!
"You don't really like me, Gong Zitao? You are the same .... Like any other ordinary person." Ling Qing Zhu dared to look at the young man before him and said that he was not wrong to marry Xiao Shuxiang.
Gong Zitao himself was annoyed that only the name of the young man had always been called Ling Qing Zhu and became a matter of comparison with him.
"It looks like I really look like a criminal in your eyes rather than a real criminal. My difference with Xiao Shuxiang is only one.. You gave her a chance to be close to you, not like me."
"......."
Gong Zitao did not answer his question. This young man only heard what he wanted to hear and answered what he wanted to answer. It was quite upsetting, but Ling Qing Zhu tried to calm down.
"Young Master Gong, you better let me go. There's no point in you holding me in this place. Because no matter what you do, I still can't and will never like you."
"You're gonna love it. You must like me and I'll make it happen."
Gong Zitao's tone of voice sounded strange. Moreover, he gave Ling Qing Zhu a look full of confidence. He again said that he would make Ling Qing Zhu kneel while pleading with him.
"... If being mean can make you like me, then I will. You like the people who tortured and killed your uncle, don't you? You like people like Xiao Shuxiang, right? Then I will act like that too."
Gong Zitao immediately turned around and stepped away. He walked towards the door and only stopped after standing in front of it. He also returned to voice.
!
Gong Zitao dropped something rolling and dark black before finally exiting the room. He left Ling Qing Zhu who remained standing alone without being able to move.
The black round thing emitted a thread-thin smoke and was bright purple. Ling Qing Zhu did not know why, but he felt alarmed by the smoke.

Far away elsewhere, Xiao Shuxiang experienced a change in her hair color and it was likely caused by excruciating pain.
From the lower end to the middle of the hair looks red. The ribbon that tied her hair even from when she fell, she had no idea.
Something he knew was that both of his hands were still tied in chains, the pain caused by Qian Kun slowly disappearing along with the blackish thin veins on his face, neck, and entire body.
The other thing was that a woman dressed in all red, seemed to be smiling, a little perverted, and so annoying. The woman paused for a moment and teased him before he finally became what he is today.
!!
Xiao Shuxiang's back was flogged without any mercy at all. It felt like being struck by lightning and honestly it was so painful. He really wanted to skin this crazy woman alive.
"Akhs! What kind of grudge do you have against me?!" Xiao Shuxiang snapped, unexpectedly there was a day where he was subjected to this kind of torture.
"none. I have no grudge against you. My grudge is only on your wife," Rou Mei Qi smiled widely and again whipped Xiao Shuxiang.
This time he made his whip body wrapped around the waist of the enchanting young man and then pulled it. A stifled cry and a curse-filled curse sounded from the mouth of his captive.
"Satan female! If you take revenge on my wife, then find her! Why do you have to give me your revenge, damn it! Go and find the White Cat! Solve your problems with her!"
"Huh? You're her husband, don't you want to take your wife's place to be my revenge? A husband should act like a protector, shouldn't he..?"
!?
This red-clothed woman was completely insane. He did not marry Ling Qing Zhu to replace his White Cat that became a revenge. Whatever action Ling Qing Zhu took, it should have been borne by itself.
Rou Mei Qi walked over to Xiao Shuxiang and stroked the young man's cheek gently. He was very fond of the regeneration of this person's body which was amazingly great.
Despite being lashed as badly as possible, Xiao Shuxiang's wounds would still close and reveal flawless smooth skin. Most importantly, the posture and muscles of this young man are perfect and in accordance with his taste.
"You're so handsome. Don't you want to marry me..?"
Xiao Shuxiang turned his face away because he did not like this woman's hand touching him. He admitted Rou Mei Qi was a beautiful woman with a nice body, yet it was completely unimportant to him now.
"You want me to marry you? What if you take off the chain that ties my hand and I'll consider marrying you."
Xiao Shuxiang's tone of voice was calm. He did not try to persuade Rou Mei Qi, instead his words seemed spontaneous and spoke from his mouth just like that.
"If you only consider.. That means it's not certain. There's still a chance of you killing me if I let you go,"
"certain. I'll definitely kill you. And you should know, from the many women I've met.. You are the worst. You can't necessarily let go of this chain either, so get rid of it."
"I can't let go of that chain, but I'm very good at letting go of the other~"
!!
Xiao Shuxiang shouted furiously as this woman instead touched her waist belt. If his legs could be moved, he would have already kicked this demonic woman without a second thought.
"You better not mess around and stop doing not know your shame. Have you never been taught manners, huh?!"
"Handsome, you're so chatty." Rou Mei Qi pinched the upper part of Xiao Shuxiang's body and it made the Alchemist Chef very very surprised.
!!
"You..! You're no longer helped. Nothing can stop me from skinning you alive. You'll die if I'm free, you'll really die..!"
For a lifetime, this was the first time that Xiao Shuxiang felt harassed, let alone with the opposite sex. She did not know who gave birth to this mad woman, but obviously-Rou Mei Qi had already passed.
"Handsome~ we're just the two of us in this place, don't you feel something..?" Rou Mei Qi now leaned his head on the chest of Xiao Shuxiang's field while rubbing the young man's body. The warmth he felt was so comfortable.
!!
"Why should I be stuck with this crazy woman? The only thing I feel is.. I was so upset with him that I wanted to pull out his heart and bones."
"Xiao Shuxiang's.. Let's get married.." Rou Mei Qi muttered, she looked up and noticed the handsome face of this young man before hugging him tightly.
!!
Rather than having his pants removed, Xiao Shuxiang preferred to be hugged like this. At least 'piton' is still safely hidden even though the feeling of smooth legs Rou Mei Qi is starting to be a bit naughty.
"Oh my God, how could you create such a shameless creature? His bawl was even worse than that Crazy Beggar Boy and myself,"
"Handsome~ why are you quiet..? Let's get married,"
"I don't want to! Even if you're the last woman in the world. I'd rather be a virgin for life than marry you. Get lost and don't hug anymore..! You're making me creep."
"But I want to marry you," Rou Mei Qi smiled as she let go of her embrace, "Look. My clothes are red like a bride, now you're left."
Xiao Shuxiang blinked before finally snorting softly, at knowing the path of this annoying woman's mind. "Just do. I'm bare-chested, you want to make my body red, right? Blood color is the best, I recommend. Do it, and I'll make you pay for everything."
"Xiao Shuxiang's.. We're totally compatible, you know what I think. I became more and more eager to have you," Rou Mei Qi chuckled slightly before finally returning to using her whip heirloom.
!!
He this time targeted the front of Xiao Shuxiang's body and greatly admired the upper part of the young man's body. He could not wait to make this handsome young man covered in a beautiful red color.
!!
Xiao Shuxiang again groaned stifled. He did not know who could save him from this woman, and put up a hope of not giving him any results. He had to think of a way to be free, or at least - both of his legs could be moved.
!!
Rou Mei Qi looked excited. He was happy to whip Xiao Shuxiang nonstop and make the young man lose strength. Fresh blood seemed to pour down the young man's chest and back.
"Xiao Shuxiang, you have a beautiful body. But much more beautiful your body is now, you awesome~"
!!
The whip of Rou Mei Qi was so deep that it looked like it was tearing through Xiao Shuxiang's stomach and chest. He was so enjoying this state and was increasing his lashing speed even more.
!!
Rou Mei Qi wanted to find out how it would be if the internal organs of Xiao Shuxiang were sticking out. Will the body of this young man stop regenerating, or will the regeneration process become faster? He was curious about it to the point of not realizing there was someone who had just stepped on the outside of this Qian Kun headquarters.
A Little Flame with a purple glint at its core seemed to float beside the all-white dressed figure. The atmosphere around it looks dark, but is not able to cover the white color of the best quality fabric used.
The figure in his right hand holding a sword was none other than a young man with an amazingly admirable authority.
He clasped tightly onto his sword until a sound was heard and the next second shot in, his speed was like a golden white flash of light.
Rou Mei Qi swung the whip for the umpteenth time, but suddenly a lesatan attacked him so he had to hit one side of the wall very hard.
!!
The nearly half-dead Xiao Shuxiang could still feel the presence of someone. His vision was blurry, but his kiss was still sharp. There was a fragrance that was fragrant and felt familiar to him.
Through the blur of his eyesight, Xiao Shuxiang saw a bright white long ribbon shadow that seemed to compete waving with strands of hair.
He heard a loud sound like two weapons clashing together with his hands and body that was like heavy forward.
A cold hand touched Xiao Shuxiang's skin and supported his near-collapsed body. The Alchemist Chef was sure of his smell, this was the scent of sandalwood.
"Shuxiang's.."
!!
That voice with a sweet and fresh tone would never be forgotten by anyone, including Xiao Shuxiang. This was a voice he had long wanted to hear. The voice of his best friend.
"You're almost late, Lan'Er.." Xiao Shuxiang's eyes were closed, his body was really not strong to stand.
