Chapter 371: Chapter 363: Time Flies By_1
Fang Ren stood by the roadside, shaking his head with a sigh, everything had ended.
Unless there was an accident, apart from Liu Qianqian's wedding, they would never meet again.
Adjusting his suit, Fang Ren leaped away from the curb.
After a long while, Bai Qi, who had been hiding in a nearby wooded area, finally emerged, staring at the bloodstains on the road with a deep frown.
"So, it just takes a single cut across the neck as a price to sleep with a man surnamed Fang... With my current realm, a dozen or so cuts shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Bai Qi seriously considered this issue.
...
On the wedding night after the ceremony had concluded.
No sooner had Fang Ren entered the room than he saw Mu Huanqing sitting on the bed with a cold expression.
Ever since she went to find Liu Qianqian by the roadside, Mu Huanqing hadn't smiled again.
"Starting with an apology... does that seem insincere?"
Fang Ren stood by the door, not daring to approach her.
"What do you think?" Mu Huanqing replied coldly.
"I'm sorry... I truly betrayed you." Your journey continues with M V L
"If I had not gone to find her today, would you have kept hiding it from me?" Mu Huanqing said.
Fang Ren immediately replied, "I was actually planning to tell you, but the wedding was so close... And I was afraid this would affect you. But I never intended to keep this from you forever, I was always looking for a chance to tell you."
"Do you know why I chose to find her today, on our wedding day?"
"I don't know."
"I wanted to tell her that you are now my husband and hoped she would stop fantasizing about you," Mu Huanqing continued. "But she seems fearless, not afraid of being killed by me, not even afraid of being scorned as the other woman. The only thing that seems to restrain her from seeing you is her own moral line."
Fang Ren disagreed somewhat, "Just tell the truth. You were obviously waiting for me to come over, but I don't know why you lured me into following you."
Mu Huanqing nodded, "Alright, the truth is, I wanted to see what you would do in that situation."
"What else could be done in that situation? I had to save her, of course."
"No, I wanted to see if you could stand by my side, not hers, to hold me accountable," Mu Huaqing said. "Actually, I'm quite satisfied with what you did today, which is why I gave her five minutes, because I believed that whatever happened during those five minutes, you would stand by me."
Fang Ren couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I'm sorry, there was actually a moment... when I didn't stand by you."
"When was that?"
"When she kissed me, I didn't avoid it."
Mu Huanqing nodded, "Good, very good."
Having said this, True Qi surged within her, and she drew her long spear aiming it straight at Fang Ren's chest.
Seeing this, Fang Ren, of course, didn't dodge; he knew Mu Huanqing too well, she was just bluffing to inflict pain on him.
Seeing that he didn't dodge, Mu Huanqing also put away her spear, aware that he knew she wouldn't actually thrust it.
"Aren't you going to comfort me?" Mu Huanqing asked.
"I was afraid that if I sat next to you, you might feel repulsed," Fang Ren said.
"Won't you try?"
Fang Ren paused, took a step forward, but before he could reach the bed, Mu Huanqing pulled him onto it with her True Qi.
"The comfort you were talking about... is this what you mean?"
Fang Ren was a bit stunned as she pinned him down.
"You are the one who taught me about love, and I think you should be responsible until the end."
As she spoke, tears started to fall from Mu Huanqing's eyes. She broke into sudden cries, but her face remained cold.
"Qing'er..."
Fang Ren hurriedly wiped away her tears.
"You don't understand my feelings at all, do you know how scared I was when I heard about it!" Mu Huanqing exclaimed through clenched teeth.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I should never have gone to the Central Area..."
"I'm so afraid you'd be taken away by her! You've liked her for so long, I feared that if she suddenly turned her attention to you, she would take you away, heart and soul!"
"How could I possibly leave you, we are married now, and we have a child."
"You don't know, I've been jealous of her for so long! I've never felt indifferent towards her! I want all of you, but yet she managed to have your affection for three years. I wish that the person you liked during your student days was me, I don't want you to have ever liked anyone else! I am that selfish! If I could go back in time, I would definitely stop you two from meeting!
Because my desire to possess you is just that strong!"
"..."
Fang Ren had always thought that past affections were trivial matters, but he never expected Mu Huanqing to take them so seriously.
"Today, I don't want to give her a single moment of time! If my conscience would let me, I would kill her today! But I'm afraid you would leave me... I'm afraid that if I killed her, you would never pay attention to me again..."
Her tears kept falling onto Fang Ren's face, causing his heart to ache immensely.
At this moment, he realized that her crying made him feel more guilty than when Liu Qianqian did.
"Don't worry, from now on, I will never have any contact with her again."
On their wedding night, Fang Ren did almost nothing but hold Mu Huanqing in bed, wiping her tears and comforting her the entire time.
It wasn't until around two or three in the morning that Mu Huanqing, exhausted from crying, fell asleep.
When Fang Ren woke up in the morning, he found Mu Huanqing already awake and looking at him.
"Why are you up so early?" Fang Ren asked.
"I've been awake for a while."
"Then... why didn't you get up?"
"The things you were supposed to do to me last night... you didn't do them, I don't want to get up."
"You should have said so earlier!"
...
It was ten in the morning when Fang Ren and Mu Huanqing finally came out of the room. A happy married life is supposed to be forgetful, but they couldn't always leave the child to be looked after in the bamboo garden.
Wouldn't that mean they were the true lovers, and the child was an accident?
...
The days that followed were filled with tranquility and happiness.
Zhu Yuan thought that her life on this small planet would be as brief as opening and closing her eyes during cultivation, and that time would pass very quickly.
But she never expected that Fang Ren and his wife would act like nannies, disturbing her few hours into her meditation for meals, never missing a single one.
She had discussed this with Fang Ren, asking him not to disturb her while she was cultivating, but despite his verbal understanding, a few hours later he would come to call her again.
This left her feeling helpless, and she suddenly found her time on Earth beginning to drag.
Soon after, she simply stopped cultivating, because every time she tried, she was interrupted, making those disappearing moments virtually useless to her.
So, like many local women, she joined the ranks of soap opera fans, spending her days lying in front of the TV with various snacks and fruit, not thinking about anything, just watching drama after drama.
Gradually, she grew accustomed to this lifestyle, and besides soap operas, she discovered many other pleasures on Earth. She started behaving like an ordinary mortal girl.
One day, Zhu Yuan ran into Liu Qianqian on the street.
Liu Qianqian asked her if she could send her to a carefree world. Zhu Yuan told her that such a world simply couldn't exist.
But Liu Qianqian insisted on exploring the outside world. Zhu Yuan gave her a Teleportation Talisman.
She told her that with it, she could travel to other worlds and warned her that many places outside faced the interweaving of the Void and that the situation was very cruel. If she didn't like it outside, she could also use the talisman to return.
In the end, on the day of the marriage arranged by her family, Liu Qianqian left this place, and no one could find her, no one saw her again, as if she had evaporated from the world.
And Bai Qi became a Cultivation Mentor, guiding many students daily while also facing the troubles of inheriting the family business.
Jiang Ling chose to retire and wander around, dissolving the Nightfall; Jian Qi'er didn't continue her career as a star but instead focused on advanced studies at Better Academy.
Jing Haichuan married Li Xinyue at the end of the year. All the classmates who were free attended, and naturally, Fang Ren wouldn't miss it, but Liu Qianqian was unlikely to come.
On the day of the wedding, Jing's Enterprise discounted all of its condoms by fifty percent.
The following year, Li Xingwang married Teacher Huang's daughter in a sudden event, and Teacher Huang finally got his wish to turn his sworn brother into his son-in-law.
Er Gou didn't choose to marry but joined an Alchemist Guild, dedicating himself to the study of medicinal pills.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, twenty years passed.
During this time, Fang Ren asked Zhu Yuan about Liu Qianqian's whereabouts, whether she might be in danger, and hoped Zhu Yuan could help her.
He wouldn't go to see Liu Qianqian again, but he still hoped she was doing well.
However, after Zhu Yuan's trip to the outside world, she came back and told Fang Ren that Liu Qianqian had already left the world she first went to and her whereabouts were unknown.
In fact, Mu Huanqing was also quite concerned about this matter, but she never showed it. She didn't want Liu Qianqian's life to be shattered by emotional issues.
But as it turned out, Liu Qianqian indeed had disappeared.
