Chapter 5: Possessed by an Acting Legend, Easily Manipulated

Chapter 5: Possessed by an Acting Legend, Easily Manipulated

Mu Qingxue had no positive feelings whatsoever toward the fiancé before her.

Having just gone to the Qin Family and heard that Qin Xuan had bullied men and oppressed women within the Family, only to be expelled, she felt even more disgusted and did not want to entangle herself with him.

If not for the desire to annul their engagement, she would never have come looking for him.

She took out a celestial boat and tossed it forward.

Mu Qingxue raised her hand, using her Qi to lift Qin Xuan, and they boarded the deck together.

She activated the celestial boat, breaking through the clouds and mist as they headed toward the location of the Yaochi Sacred Land.

She took out a seventh-grade Medicinal Pill and tossed it to Qin Xuan, saying sternly, "This is a Seven-Star Pill. After consuming it, it can temporarily halt the backlash in your body from losing the Supreme Bone."

"To recover completely, only a Saint Grade Medicinal Pill will suffice. Once we return to the Holy Land, I will ask my Master to obtain a Saint Grade Medicinal Pill for you."

Qin Xuan took the Medicinal Pill without hesitation, swallowing it like a piece of candy. He looked at Mu Qingxue's curvaceous figure and smiled, "No rush. You and I are future spouses; we will be living together sooner or later. From now on, I shall stay in the Yaochi Sacred Land and live together with you."

He recognized the Mu Qingxue before him; she was the child bride his grandfather had arranged for him since he was young.

She was the daughter of the Mu Family in the Mu Domain, possessing an Immaculate Sacred Body.

However, the moment Mu Qingxue saw him earlier, she had revealed a look of disdain.

It was nothing more than her feeling that he, Qin Xuan, had left the Qin Family, cut off his Family ties by gouging out his bone, and lost his Supreme Bone, making him unworthy of her.

If it were his predecessor, being despised and then abandoned by a fiancée would likely have caused him to become depressed and lose all spirit.

But things were different now; he was not that spineless predecessor.

'I am a great villain; what does it matter to me whether you, Mu Qingxue, are willing or not?'

The moment he saw Mu Qingxue, his eyes were captivated by the heaviness on her chest.

Only one thought came to mind: he wanted her!

Regardless of what Mu Qingxue thought, he would get close to her first, and in the meantime, he could use the Yaochi Sacred Land to hide from the Qin Family's eyes and ears.

Mu Qingxue's brows furrowed slightly. Noticing that Qin Xuan's greedy gaze remained fixed on her chest, she felt even more disgusted and said coldly, "Qin Xuan, you are no longer a member of the Qin Family. Our engagement should also be annulled."

"The only reason I am saving you is out of consideration for our engagement. Please show some self-respect!"

Qin Xuan, who possessed the Supreme Bone, was nearly twenty years old yet only in the Blood-Moving Realm, becoming a joke for having the Supreme Bone.

He did not feel shame and strive for improvement; instead, within the Family, he bullied maids and beat servants until they were crippled.

His character was wicked to the extreme.

Even when Qin Xuan previously possessed the Supreme Bone, she had opposed this engagement, feeling there was no foundation of affection.

Let alone now, when Qin Xuan had lost the Supreme Bone due to his heinous crimes and had become a cripple.

How could she possibly fulfill the engagement with him?

"You can't be serious?" Qin Xuan's acting skills kicked in. With a look of astonishment and solemnity, he said, "I have always heard that the Mu Family has honest and upright traditions, where a drop of favor is repaid with a gushing spring. Legend has it that one of the Mu Family's ancestors once received the favor of a single meal. Later, when they became successful, they forcefully cultivated that benefactor to the Quasi-Saint Realm, and the Family has endured for ten thousand years, still enjoying the respect of the Mu Family to this day."

"Your father, who is my future father-in-law, was once saved by my grandfather when he was on the verge of death. That is why we have this engagement."

"Now that I have fallen, lost my status as the eldest son of the Qin Family, and no longer have the Supreme Bone, you, Mu Qingxue, are no longer considering the engagement and want to kick me aside?"

"Is this your personal thought, or a decision made by the entire Mu Family?"

Qin Xuan stared directly into Mu Qingxue's clear, beautiful eyes in disbelief.

He clutched his chest, where the wound had already healed, and walked to the railing of the celestial boat. "If this is the Mu Family's decision, then the engagement ends here. I, Qin Xuan, do not need any of your support, Mu Qingxue. Whether I live or die shall be left to fate!"

Qin Xuan sneered in his heart. In the Qin Princes Mansion, the spineless predecessor had caused the situation to deteriorate to the extreme, making it difficult to salvage.

Now, as a great villain, could he still suffer a setback?

Mu Qingxue was the fiancée his grandfather had arranged; he could choose not to marry her, but Mu Qingxue could not break the engagement!

Since this fiancée did not know what was good for her, he would have to use a little trick to let her taste what it meant to bully a husband for a moment of pleasure, only to face a crematorium of regret later!

Watching Qin Xuan, who wanted to jump off the celestial boat, the corners of Mu Qingxue's beautiful mouth twitched slightly.

This celestial boat was ten thousand zhang away from the ground.

If Qin Xuan, who had lost the Supreme Bone, were to jump, he would surely be smashed to pieces.

If this matter were to spread, it would be tantamount to confirming the fact that she repaid kindness with enmity.

She, Mu Qingxue, would become the laughingstock of the entire Mu Domain.

Her Mu Family would also become the laughingstock of the Ziyang Empire!

Exhaling a breath of fresh air, Mu Qingxue thought it over repeatedly and said tactfully, "Qin Xuan, you have lost the Supreme Bone. In the future, you won't even be able to reach the Yin-Yang Realm. As for me, I possess the Immaculate Sacred Body; as long as I Cultivate diligently, becoming a Saint is within reach."

"Your lifespan will be at most a little over a hundred years, while my lifespan is long, exceeding a thousand years."

"You and I are not people of the same world. If we force this, it will only increase sorrow in vain."

Mu Qingxue intended to move him with emotion and explain with reason.

Qin Xuan indicated he wasn't listening, treating it like a turtle chanting sutras. He had only one sentence in his mouth: "My grandfather saved your father!"

Mu Qingxue said distressingly, "There are many beauties in the Mu Domain. I can completely introduce you to a stunning beauty who is in the same Realm as you."

"In the future, I will also ensure you a lifetime of stability, never to be bullied by others."

Her beautiful eyes sparkled as she looked at Qin Xuan and asked expectantly, "How about it?"

In her view, Qin Xuan's unwillingness to break the engagement was simply because he coveted her beauty.

And what she cared about the least was her own appearance.

Beauty is but a skeleton; if one cannot swim against the current, at most after a hundred years, one will inevitably turn into a pile of withered bones.

She had no intention of spending time on these meaningless romantic entanglements.

Since Qin Xuan liked beauties, she could use her background to introduce him to some.

Qin Xuan let go of the celestial boat's railing, sighed faintly, and looked at Mu Qingxue, murmuring unwillingly, "In the end, you just feel that I am not worthy of you."

"Indeed, you are the heaven-favored daughter of the Mu Family, possessing the Immaculate Sacred Body, while I am merely an abandoned son expelled from the Qin Family."

He looked as if he had accepted his fate, his expression lonely.

Mu Qingxue wanted to speak but stopped.

Being able to make Qin Xuan realize this fact, wasn't that exactly what she wished for in her heart?

Why did she need to obstruct him?

"Mu Qingxue, since that is the case, you and I do not need to have any connection. Let us never meet again."

Swish!

Qin Xuan, who was by the railing, leaped up.

He rushed straight out of the celestial boat and fell rapidly toward the ground.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The sound of whistling wind kept coming by his ears.

Qin Xuan did not even mobilize a shred of Qi. A wicked smile curled at the corners of his mouth as he counted silently in his heart, "Three, two..."

Before the countdown ended, a gentle force of Qi appeared beneath him.

Mu Qingxue held up Qin Xuan, who had jumped from the ten-thousand-zhang height, and returned him to the deck. Standing in front of him, she shouted angrily with a furious look, "Qin Xuan, are you crazy!"

"Do you know that this is ten thousand zhang from the ground? With your current body, once you hit the ground, you will surely be smashed to pieces. Are you seeking death?"

Qin Xuan wanted to laugh in his heart.

He did not think Mu Qingxue was worried about his safety.

It was just that this fiancée cared far more about her reputation than he had thought.

Flies do not bite seamless eggs.

Since Mu Qingxue had a weakness, he could follow this crack and successfully bite into it!

"I am asking you a question. What do you mean by not answering?"

Mu Qingxue was furious; the heaviness on her chest heaved violently, causing the pressure on her bodice to increase sharply.

If Qin Xuan died on her celestial boat, it would confirm that her Mu Family repaid kindness with enmity.

Qin Xuan, possessed by an acting legend, shook his head self-deprecatingly, "I just feel there is nothing to be attached to. Expelled from the Family, the Supreme Bone in my body has become a wedding dress for others, and now even my future wife is trying every possible way to leave me."

He lifted his listless eyes and looked at Mu Qingxue, "Whether I live or die, what does it have to do with you?"
