Ex-Wife is a Big Villainess

Chapter 448: The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind - Part 2



Jiang Erliang was still in a daze, sitting dumbfounded on the bed, not knowing what to do.

After a long while, she finally reacted, stammering: "You... you're Ms. Jiang's sister?"

"Silly girl, who else could it be but me?"

Jiang Wan's tone carried a hint of playfulness and intimacy.

Jiang Erliang was even more confused: "But... but you shouldn't..."

"Shouldn't directly possess your body?"

Jiang Wan laughed and said, "You, girl, are now in the Initial Peeping Period of the Sword Heart Clarity realm. If I forcibly possessed your body like before, it would delay your cultivation. Unless it's absolutely necessary in the future, I won't do that."

"Oh, oh."

Realizing the woman's good intentions, Jiang Erliang couldn't help but feel a fondness for this woman she had never met but was now one with.

"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere."

Jiang Wan said.

Jiang Erliang furrowed her brows slightly: "But the Master and the others haven't returned yet."

"Don't worry, the silly dog is here to protect you, and your cultivation isn't bad either, nothing will happen. Besides, I'm here too, listen to me, we'll be back soon."

Jiang Wan urged.

Jiang Erliang couldn't help but hesitate.

Seeing her hesitation, Jiang Wan pretended to be helpless and said: "Fine, then I can only possess your body."

"No, no, I'll go!"

Jiang Erliang quickly said.

She didn't want to 'disappear' inexplicably again.

Jiang Erliang quickly put on her shoes, nimbly shouldered the Peach Heavy Sword, and prepared to leave the room.

"Wait, go look in the mirror first."

Jiang Wan suddenly said.

"Huh?"

"Huh what, look in the mirror."

"Oh, oh."

Jiang Erliang walked to the mirror, not understanding the reason.

Looking at the nimble and stylishly dressed girl in the mirror, Jiang Wan couldn't help but sigh:

"My sister truly has an eye for things, if I had known back then, I'd have dressed like this too, men all over the world would probably be captivated by me. Little girl, in the future you'll surely captivate a large number of men."

Listening to this, Jiang Erliang's face instantly turned red, unsure of how to respond.

After admiring herself in the mirror, the girl walked out of the inn with the small dog.

Just as she stepped out, she happened to encounter a peddler carrying a load, shouting and selling candied hawthorn.

Always having a soft spot for candied hawthorn, Jiang Wan suddenly made her stop and with a bit of delighted laughter said: "What luck, to see candied hawthorn just as we step out. Little girl, go buy all those candied hawthorns."

Jiang Erliang looked troubled: "If you can't eat them, wouldn't it be a waste?"

Jiang Wan laughed: "You eat them, after all, we're one, at least I can satisfy my craving mentally. Go quickly, or else if sister gets angry, I might just occupy your body again."

Jiang Erliang had no choice but to go and buy some.

However, feeling sorry for the Master's money, she only bought two sticks, which gave Jiang Wan a reason to lectured her: "You, girl, why are you so stingy, what's the harm in buying more."

"That's the Master's money."

"Your Master isn't short on money."

"But we can't spend it recklessly, in the future, the Master will have many wives, they'll need to support a big family, how can we not be thrifty…"

"Alas, forget it, what a little housekeeper you are."

Listening to the little girl babble non-stop, Jiang Wan was also helpless.

Following Jiang Wan's directions, Jiang Erliang walked towards a more desolate outskirts.

About a two-hour later, Jiang Erliang arrived at a deserted place.

Looking around, all she saw were broken walls and ruins, with charred marks everywhere. Looking carefully, it was the ruins of a burnt-down temple.

"What are we here for?"

Jiang Erliang asked full of confusion, addressing Jiang Wan inside her.

Jiang Wan said: "The former Emperor of Nanjin Country once hated monks very much, he tore down all temples in the country, including this once-called Nanjin Country's First Dharma Temple, Lingyun Temple.

The reason Lingyun Temple was so renowned was due to a certain enlightened monk, who gave up on Ascension and left behind three relics, the Esoteric Sect's Saint Buddha.

He once secluded himself here for a period of cultivation, then returned to the Western Regions, and left behind three direct disciples. One of these disciples became the head of Lingyun Temple, and was later revered as Nanjin Country's first State Preceptor, none other than the Reincarnation Heavenly Venerate."

Jiang Erliang listened in amazement.

This "Mizong Holy Buddha" is really powerful.

The young girl suddenly remembered something and said, "The Master and others went to the Imperial Palace to find the relics of the Wheel-Turning Heavenly Venerate."

Jiang Yi nodded and said, "I know, but the reason I brought you here is not to find the Wheel-Turning Heavenly Venerate, but to search for something left by the Mizong Holy Buddha years ago."

"What is it?" Jiang Erliang asked.

Jiang Wan said, "Let's deal with the people following us first."

Following?

Jiang Erliang was startled and quickly looked around but found nothing.

But the next moment, several men and women appeared.

These people were disciples of Mingjing Valley.

It turned out they saw Jiang Erliang go out alone and, after some discussion, decided to secretly follow.

In their eyes, Jiang Erliang's skills were quite average. If they could capture this girl, they could avenge Senior Sister and regain the face lost earlier to Jiang Shouzhong's insult.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If they waited until Jiang Shouzhong and the others arrived, avenging would be impossible.

After all, the Sect Leader and others were busy searching for the mirror and had no time to attend to this place.

"Senior Sister, this little girl actually noticed us. It seems her skills aren't low. Everyone should be careful."

A female disciple whispered.

The woman referred to as Senior Sister sneered, "Her skills can't be that high, especially with so many of us. Once we catch that girl, strip her and sell her to a brothel!"

Recalling how she was forced to strip and dance in public, the woman gnashed her teeth in hatred.

As the Senior Sister of Mingjing Valley, even in second or third-rate sects, her status in Jianghu was renowned. Now she was shamed like this, with no face left to stand in Jianghu.

This hatred, she would return tenfold.

Today she would deal with this girl first, and when the Sect Leader returned, capture that flaunting woman.

She wanted to torture the other bit by bit!

"Do it!"

Senior Sister shouted coldly.

The group immediately drew their longswords and rushed towards Jiang Erliang.

The Heavenly Dog Divine Demon was just about to pounce when Jiang Wan coldly said, "Stupid dog, stay calm, let Erliang have some practice first!"

Strangely, even though Jiang Wan's voice came from within Erliang, the dog demon could also hear it, whimpered, unwillingly drooping its head, and curled up at the side.

Jiang Wan said, "Erliang, no matter how much swordsmanship you practice, without actual combat experience, it's all in vain. Use them for practice."

"Oh."

Jiang Erliang hurriedly took down the heavy sword from her back, holding it with both hands.

As the first Mingjing Valley disciple approached, Jiang Erliang swung the heavy sword in her hand, performing the "Sky Breaking Sword Technique."

The girl used her slender and flexible waist as an axis, with energy welling up from the Yongquan acupoint at the sole, lightly transmitted through her legs, gathering in her weak yet resilient waist and back.

When the sword intent surged and overlapped, it poured into her arms like a rushing stream.

With a thunderous sound, sword qi several meters long surged out, resembling a jade dragon leaping out of the sea, directly sending the foremost disciple flying.

The ground split like rice paper, revealing a deep chasm, with clods of dirt falling off.

"This little girl really has some skills."

Senior Sister was deeply shocked and immediately said to her fellow disciples, "Form the formation!"

...

On a distant high peak, a man and a woman were watching this scene.

The man had a handsome face, wearing an eyepatch over one eye, with a bow strapped to his back.

The woman was corpulent, her face heavily adorned with rouge, her lips painted crimson, resembling fresh blood.

"This little girl is quite something."

The corpulent woman laughed coquettishly, "In a few years, she might become a martial expert above the Saintly Ascension."

The one-eyed man frowned, "I've never seen this swordsmanship before, nor do I know which expert created it, indicating the people behind this girl are not simple. If we rashly take this job, I'm afraid..."

"Don't you want the Dragon Heart Jade?"

The corpulent woman squinted, her crimson lips curling slightly,

"If you don't want it, I do. Before, when it was with the Emperor of Nanjin Country, I didn't dare to covet it. Now that it has been unearthed, I won't pass up such a good opportunity.

As long as we capture this girl alive and hand her over to that person, our task will be complete.

By then, we'll take the Dragon Heart Jade and go to Loulan. As for what that person wants to do with the girl or who are the powerful figures behind her, it has nothing to do with us."
