Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 619 The Darkened Sword Maniac of the Martial World vs. the Cunning Enchantress (5)

The setting sun cast long shadows of the two of them. Shen Shuyi played with a willow leaf she had just picked. As soon as she finished speaking, the willow leaf flew out with a "whoosh," grazing the sword sheath at Xie Xinghe's waist and embedding itself in a bridge pillar.

Xie Xinghe's Ice-Splitting Sword was still in its sheath, and the hem of his white robe was covered with grass clippings from the mountain path, indicating that he had just come down from the mountain.

He saw the eye-catching red dress in the middle of the bridge, his brows furrowed instantly, and his eyes were colder than the wind below the cliff.

Xie Xinghe placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, his voice as cold as ice, "Witch, if you obediently lay down your butcher's knife, I might spare your life."

"Spare my life?" Shen Shuyi seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. She suddenly took two steps closer, her nose almost bumping into his chest. "Does Young Master Xie think that I, Shen Shuyi, am the kind of person who would obediently surrender?"

"Pfft!" Shen Shuyi laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight. "I say, Young Hero Xie, did you break your brain when you fell off Broken Soul Cliff? You forced the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect to become a nun? If this gets out, the martial arts world will laugh their heads off."

The cunning in her eyes was like poison laced with honey, igniting a fire in Xie Xinghe's heart.

The sword energy swept across the water's surface, and the ice shards it stirred up pierced the air with a whooshing sound, aiming for Shen Shuyi's face, but were struck down by the long whip just three inches away from her.

The moment the ice shards and water droplets exploded, Shen Shuyi had already stepped onto the bridge railing and leaped behind him, her red dress billowing like a blood lotus in bloom.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!"

The sound of the whip clashing with the sword rang out crisply above the stone bridge. Xie Xinghe's swordsmanship was as fierce as thunder, each strike carrying the power to shatter ice and break rocks. But Shen Shuyi was like a slippery fish, always managing to dodge at the last second.

Even so, Shen Shuyi was still shaken by his sword energy and felt pain all over her body.

She sensed Xie Xinghe's killing intent. She hadn't expected him to recover so quickly after being seriously injured. If the fight continued, she would either die or be taken to Emei Temple to be ordained as a nun.

The thought of herself becoming a bald nun made her so angry she wanted to grind her teeth.

In a moment of haste, Shen Shuyi redeemed a Life-and-Death Gu from the system shop. Taking advantage of Xie Xinghe's sword thrust, she used all her strength to crash into his arms.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and lifted her head to kiss him.

She bit Xie Xinghe's thin lips hard, and as he opened his mouth in pain, she pushed the Gu pill into his mouth with her tongue.

"Cough cough!!" Xie Xinghe slapped her away with a palm strike, his anger and shock palpable.

"Witch, what have you done to me?!"

"Bang—" Shen Shuyi was caught off guard and crashed into the ancient tree, sliding down and finally sitting down in front of the treetop, wiping the blood from the corner of her lips.

She sneered, "Witch, witch. Young Master Xie knows I am a witch, and he should know that I come from the Ten Thousand Gu Sect, a branch of the Blood Lotus Sect, and am skilled in using Gu."

"Just now, I fed you the Life-and-Death Gu. If I die, you will not be able to live either."

"Witch!" Xie Xinghe's hand holding the sword was bulging with veins, clearly driven mad by Shen Shuyi.

He drew his sword and stepped forward, ready to fight her to the death.

Shen Shuyi quickly flew backward.

"Xie Xinghe, you're insane!"

This bastard doesn't even care about his own life when he goes crazy.

"Can you calm down first? I'm not lying to you. My back still hurts from bumping into the tree. Don't you feel anything?"

Xie Xinghe certainly felt it, which made him even more resentful of the witch's cunning.

He hesitated for a moment, and his longsword was entangled by Shen Shuyi's long whip.

"Xie Xinghe, can we call a truce for now?"

"If you hadn't tried to kill me, would I have used a curse on you?" Shen Shuyi said deliberately. "If you were to kill me with a single sword strike, we could keep each other company on the road to the underworld." Xie Xinghe's face turned pale with anger, and then his ears turned red.

In his more than twenty years of life, he had never seen such a shameless woman.

The pain in his back made him break out in a cold sweat.

He tried to expel the poison with his internal energy, but a sharp pain surged in his chest when he tried to expel it.

Shen Shuyi released the whip and retreated to the bridge, slowly adjusting her skirt.

"Don't waste your efforts."

"Once this poison is administered, there is no cure. Of course, it will automatically become ineffective after six months."

"Let's stop fighting and killing each other from now on."

"Thank you, young sect leader. Until we meet again."

Shen Shuyi continued walking, waving the willow leaf in her hand, her laughter fading away.

Xie Xinghe coldly watched her retreating figure. The setting sun sank completely into the water, leaving him alone on the stone bridge.

The red dress disappeared into the twilight, and the veins on his hand holding the sword bulged, his knuckles turning white.

This witch!
……

Shen Shuyi walked along the official road, biting into a candied hawthorn. Her bright red skirt swept across the bluestone pavement, and the hairpins in her hair jingled. Ever since she removed the veil that had been covering her face, she had truly experienced the "beauty bonus." Even the candied hawthorn vendor picked out the biggest skewer for her, and her bowl of wontons was overflowing with food she couldn't finish.

"This young lady looks unfamiliar. Where is she headed?"

Two women dressed in plain clothes blocked her way, staring intently at her face as they spoke.

Shen Shuyi popped the last candied hawthorn into her mouth, her tongue swirling away the sugar crumbs. "I'm lost. I heard there's a Moon Hermitage up ahead. I'd like to ask to stay the night there."

"Oh, what a coincidence!" Wangyue immediately warmed up and reached out to help her. "We are disciples of Yueyin Nunnery. Come with us, young lady, and we guarantee you'll be treated to hot tea and a hot meal."

Just as his fingertips were about to touch Shen Shuyi's arm, she subtly avoided it.

Shen Shuyi blinked, looking timid. "I've heard that nunneries are places of quiet cultivation. Would my sudden visit disturb the nuns' peace and quiet?"

Lian Yue smiled kindly, "Our abbess is compassionate and often takes in women in distress. It's alright for you to stay the night, young lady."

“Oh, is that so?” Shen Shuyi patted her chest innocently. “That’s great! I was just worried about having nowhere to go after I ran away from my arranged marriage.”

Upon hearing this, the two nuns' eyes gleamed.

Shen Shuyi followed the two women in plain clothes up the mountain gate, and System 66 then introduced the Moon Hermitage.

[Host, you have triggered a hidden side quest. Completing it will earn you points.]
[The Moon Concealment Nunnery is mostly populated by nuns who keep their hair intact. They take "Moon" as their name. This Moon Concealment Nunnery is nominally guided by the Emei Sect, but in reality, it specializes in abducting respectable women or taking in and deceiving women in distress and bringing them back to the nunnery, forcing them to practice the evil art "Cloud and Rain Technique" to serve their purposes, and making them engage in dual cultivation with male cultivators from other sects for the benefit of the Moon Concealment Nunnery.]
[You will receive 1000 points for destroying the Moon Concealment Nunnery and ridding the martial world of this scourge!]
Shen Shuyi said, "But I destroyed the Moon Concealment Nunnery, and the Emei Sect, which protects the Moon Concealment Nunnery, will probably attack me. However, I am alone, so they can't kill me even if they want to. At most, they will know my identity in the Blood Lotus Sect and attack the Blood Lotus Sect. This is good. It would be best to kill Mo Lianzhou."

Anyway, the original owner no longer loves Mo Lianzhou. She still remembers the grudge that Mo Lianzhou held against Master Xuanci when he pulled her to block his palm strike last time.

The incense at Yueyin Nunnery was much more abundant than Shen Shuyi had imagined. The main hall was filled with smoke, and devout men and women knelt on the ground.

But as soon as she was led to the backyard, she heard the sound of chains dragging on the floor coming from the west wing, mixed with suppressed sobs.
