Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Creak–

Shen Sifan’s grip on the sword gradually tightened, and the sound of the sword hilt being deformed could be heard. It was clear how much force she was using.

The Green Lotus Sword was one of the toughest things in the world, especially the hilt and edge of the sword. Even this was being squeezed to the point of making a creaking sound. If the thing in Chen Sifan’s hand right now was a human head, it would already be a lump of mushy substance that was covered in mosaics.

Green Lotus Swordsman looked at the unsightly scene in the room with an expressionless face. If there were reporters in this era, this scene would be an explosive topic: ‘The widow of the former Master of the Sword Pavilion and the City Lord of the City of Ten Thousand Swords has a chaotic private life.’

The young man shrouded by the light spot looked unfamiliar, but the direction of the spell was definitely correct.

However, the person she had been thinking about was currently engaged in some extremely terrible activities with the City Lord and her secret guard. If it was not for the secret guard half-kneeling in front of the young man, perhaps she would have been able to see an even worse scene.

The City Lord had received her not long ago, and the impression she had given her was that she was an elegant and secretly cold female Immortal cultivator of high status. But now, she was shamelessly hugging the young man’s waist and sticking so close to him, as if she were simply adding to the fun!

The young man’s hand was already on the secret guard’s head, so how could she not know what the guard in front was up to? Could it be that this City Lord was planning to help them?

She was too shameless! It was too unsightly!

Chen Sifan, who came from Daoist Taiqing Pavilion and had spent almost a few hundred years in cultivation, opened her eyes wide. The anger and disbelief in her heart were about to come out!

“Liu! Jun! Xuan!”

The valiant swordsman’s dress fluttered in the air even though there was no wind. Her aura was fully released, and the Void Refinement spiritual energy swept over, turning the bead curtain hanging at the door into ashes in an instant.

To catch a thief, one must catch the king… And to catch an adulterer, one must catch the pair.

Today, she, Shen Sifan, had caught three in one go.

It really made her happy.

“Heh… Heheh… Hehehehehe!”

Shen Sifan was so angry that she laughed. Her smile was cold, and the tip of her sword shone like a star of death.

I’m… Going to… Die… F*ck!

Liu Yuan’s terrified gaze fell on Ah Yue, who was half-kneeling in front of him, and the pair of soft hands that belonged to Duan Lanruo on his waist.

He looked at the spots of light on his body. Even if he did not know what spell it was, he could easily guess that it was used for tracking. However, he didn’t know the specific principle.

Since she had already reached their destination with precision guidance and exploded, there was no need to discuss the process anymore.

He had already smeared the entire scene of the affair, and it was even a threesome, directly on Shen Sifan’s face. He was just short of saying, “Not only did I marry someone else, but I also had an affair with someone else’s wife. Everything I said before was fake. I’ve lied to you for hundreds of years. If you have the ability, come cut me to death.”

Well, she’s really here to cut him.

I’m here, and I’ll kill you in one strike. What’s there to say?

The Green Lotus Swordsman felt unprecedentedly calm. Her heart was like a raging fire that would turn into ashes after it was burned. She was so calm that he wanted to do the Thousand Lotus Twisting Dragon, Splitting Cloud Waterfall again.

Swish!

She raised her long sword, and the silver light was as smooth as silk. It drew a beautiful but murderous trajectory and stabbed toward Liu Yuan’s neck.

The speed was so fast that it was like a bolt of lightning.

Even if Liu Yuan had equipped all his cards, he would not be able to withstand this attack.

Therefore, he was prepared to take it head-on.

The fear and confusion only lasted for a short moment. Liu Yuan instantly made up his mind. He had thought a lot over the past few days, and Shen Sifan’s appearance had become the catalyst. If he continued to hesitate, this situation would happen again sooner or later. It was better to nip it at the bud!

If he could not resist it, he’d leave it to fate. If he could resist it, he’d use a wave of self-pity in his critical state. Shen Sifan hesitated for a moment, then used Pihuan Luo’s Whirling Forms to take the opportunity to counterattack – He already felt that he could not go on like this!

Either he died, or he had a harem!

Come on!

However, just as he was about to close his eyes heroically, Duan Lanruo, who was behind him, suddenly let go of his hand, and a faint voice sounded in his ear.

“Green Lotus Swordsman, this isn’t your Taiqing Pavilion, but the City of Ten Thousand Swords. Are you trying to kill my people in front of me?”

Using words and power to strike first?

But this… Wait, no!

Liu Yuan suddenly realized what he had overlooked. He widened his eyes and looked up. The mature and beautiful woman stood up, reached out, and grabbed Shen Sifan’s sword with her palm.

The sword stopped abruptly. Although it was still moving forward, it finally stopped in front of Liu Yuan’s neck.

“Drip…”

Duan Lanruo looked at the blood dripping from her slightly trembling hand and smiled. “Green Lotus Swordsman lives up to her name.”

“But that’s not a reason for you to be so presumptuous!” she said coldly.

Her spiritual energy was like a tide, and the brilliance of flames instantly gushed out. A layer of golden light covered the hand that Duan Lanruo was holding the longsword with, and it extended to the Green Lotus Sword. However, the blade of the sword was actually unable to move forward by even half an inch.

‘Quenching of Fire, Breaking of Gold’.

“No one in this world knows swords better than a swordsmith. You use your sword to kill people, and I kill your sword.”

The City Lord of the City of Ten Thousand Swords, Duan Lanruo, might not be as powerful as Shen Sifan, but her cultivation base was at the Synthesis stage!

That’s right, he was at the Synthesis stage just like Pi Huanluo!

Liu Yuan subconsciously thought that he had overestimated Shen Sifan’s combat power and also underestimated the ability of a 9-star wordsmith to deal with a swordsman.

The Green Lotus Sword might be the toughest sword in Shangyang, but it was also man-made by a 9-star swordsmith, so it also had flaws. Duan Lanruo, who was also a 9-star swordsmith, had skills that were completely targeted at swordsmen.

Although he did not know what would happen if they really started fighting, Duan Lanruo had completely stopped Shen Sifan.

“Preposterous! The City Lord of the City of Ten Thousand Swords is having an affair with someone else’s husband?”

Shen Sifan gritted her teeth, her pretty face full of anger. She glared at Liu Yuan, who was tidying up his clothes and coming down from the chair.

Fortunately, he had not started yet, or he would have been so scared that he would have a problem.

Liu Yuan laughed awkwardly, but he still felt a little regretful in his heart. The counterattack plan just now actually worked quite well.

However, he really did not dare to touch the things left behind by Pihuan Luo.

Ah Yue dutifully stood in front of Liu Yuan, her face still red, which made Shen Sifan even more annoyed.

Hearing this, Duan Lanruo suddenly frowned and revealed a trace of doubt. “Someone else’s husband? Why would Green Lotus Swordsman say that?”

Huh?

Liu Yuan was stunned, but he saw Duan Lanruo turn her head and blink at him.

“Will your disguise be seen through?”

“… It wouldn’t. Unless she went up to observe, she wouldn’t be able to see through it. She must have judged it from the aura of the light spots.”

“Don’t tell me the City Lord of Ten Thousand Swords doesn’t know?” Shen Sifan said awkwardly. Liu Junxuan and I made a promise decades ago. He will be with me for the rest of his life. Isn’t he my husband?”

Duan Lanruo’s frown deepened. “I’m afraid Green Lotus Swordsman has misunderstood. His name is Jiang Feng… To be honest, I’ve been funding his cultivation since he was young. I’ve only recently called him to the City of Ten Thousand Swords, and we’ve been meeting in private for a long time.”

The mature, beautiful, and powerful City Lord pursed her lips as a hint of red flashed across her face.

“To put it simply, he is my adopted husband… Not the Liu Junxuan you mentioned.”
