The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 454 Reencounter with Madam Xu, Filling the Lament of a Woman in Her Chamber [Part 3]

Huh, what does that mean?
This was the second time Feng Ling had heard someone warn him: they didn't have much time left.

Although Xingzhai Demon Prince is very troublesome, why are people so pessimistic about them?

Feng Ling frowned and said, "Madam Xu, could it be that Xing Zhai has broken through to the demigod realm, or perhaps he has cultivated the Dharma Form of Heaven and Earth?"

If that's the case, given that Feng Ling's cultivation is currently sealed by the Sevenfold Sumeru Divine Mountain, he indeed cannot compete with Xing Zhai.

However, Leng Ningshuang has already cultivated to the point of understanding all living beings, and with nearly two years of buffer time, Feng Ling is confident that he can restore his cultivation to the peak of the Great Saint Realm or above.

At that time, their chances of winning are still quite high, so why should Madam Xu worry so much?

"Let's put Xing Zhai aside for now and talk about the lingering emotional issues between you two, even though they've been resolved..."

After a brief pause, Madam Xu's gaze was intense: "Perhaps you don't know this, but if you hadn't come to this land of the Nine Infants and reconciled with Miaoshuang, rekindling her belief in protecting her own happiness, she would have given up hope and resigned herself to marrying Xing Zhai!"

"What! Marriage is a serious matter, how can it be treated like a child? How can she act like a willful, petulant child, so heartlessly ruining her life's most important event?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Ling almost flipped the table, but he managed to restrain himself by taking a deep breath. In the end, he only crushed a corner of the jade table into powder.

"Hmph! You heartless man, what you say makes no sense! Who was it that spoke so harshly and cruelly broke the girl's heart back then?"

Seeing that Feng Ling had crushed a corner of the jade table, Madam Xu's face grew even more gloomy. She said irritably, "Besides, if Xing Zhai hadn't been so dark and extreme, and hadn't been such a womanizer who hurt Miao Shuang's heart, I would have thought they were a good match as childhood sweethearts. How could you say that he was heartless and made a mistake?"

"Oh, Madam Xu, I apologize. I misspoke! All the blame lies with me..."

Feng Ling gave a helpless bitter smile and quickly apologized, "I hope that for my senior sister's sake, Madam Xu will tell me the whole story of the crisis that has been secretly happening between us!"

"You're smart enough to know your place!" Madam Xu had no intention of being unreasonable, and seeing Feng Ling's sincere and earnest attitude, she began to speak quietly.

Feng Ling listened intently from the side, occasionally interjecting with questions.

Fifteen minutes later, Feng Ling finally understood the crux of this relationship crisis, as well as the subtle differences between Leng Ningshuang and himself and between Leng Ningshuang and Xing Zhai.

Madam Xu mainly talked about three points:

Firstly, Leng Ningshuang and Xing Zhai were childhood sweethearts and had feelings for each other when they were young. They could have walked hand in hand together. However, unfortunately, Xing Zhai was too promiscuous at that time and flirted with many women, which made Leng Ningshuang feel disgusted and disgusted, and she felt that he was hypocritical.

Later, Xing Zhai confirmed through his Daoist heart that his actions in his childhood were simply to prove his charm, thereby making Leng Ning Shuang feel threatened so that she wouldn't abandon him after getting him.

As a result, he went too far and didn't know when to stop, leading to a big fight between the two and a period of cold war.

When Xing Zhai belatedly realized his mistake and tried to apologize, he received news that Leng Ning Shuang had been kidnapped and disappeared by the madwoman Ji Qianxiu. Enraged, Xing Zhai inexplicably developed a high fever for seven days and seven nights, until he awoke amidst a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood deep within the Red Lotus Demon Sect's headquarters, his memory hazy and confused…

……

Secondly, Leng Ningshuang and Xing Zhai reunite at the Red Lotus Demon Sect. Before and after Leng Ningshuang regains her memories, she experiences subtle changes in her attitude towards Xing Zhai and complex emotions.

Before her memories returned, Leng Ningshuang desperately wanted to escape her fate of marrying Xing Zhai. So, following ancient records, she eventually met Xu Niangzi and moved into the Miaoyin Pavilion in Sunset City, hoping to win a chance to break free from the shackles of her destiny and transform herself—the Heavenly Melody Red Cloud Token.

During that period of leisure, Leng Ningshuang became well-versed in music and law, studied medicine and tea, and mastered the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. It could be said that apart from refusing missions from the evil spirit organization, this was the only time she could feel happy.

Until one day, Feng Ling's appearance gave her another longing and hope deep in her heart.

Undoubtedly, before her memories returned, Leng Ning Shuang deeply disliked Xing Zhai and was infatuated with Feng Ling.

However, she regained her memories after the great battle at Yuqing Sect and Feng Ling's heartless farewell. In other words, at that time she was heartbroken and resentful, unwilling to touch Feng Ling's heart.

If it weren't for her unwavering determination to revive Feng Yuqing and track down Ji Qianxue, she probably would have already taken her own life.

Therefore, despite her stubbornness and constant sarcastic remarks towards Xing Zhai, she was actually venting her resentment on Xing Zhai, who had wronged her in the past, as if he were the one who was wronging her now.

As for the final outcome of gambling with her body, and whether or not she should marry her childhood sweetheart Xing Zhai, she didn't actually dislike or care about it at all.

This can be seen from the fact that she took the initiative to reconcile with Xing Zhai.

Girls are often hypocritical. Although she said she would do anything to win the bet and break the marriage contract, from the moment Leng Ning Shuang decided to delay the Eastern Saint inheritance and come to the Nine Infants Land first, she knew very well that if she, whose cultivation was already lagging behind, also fell behind in the inheritance rank, then she would have no chance to catch up with and surpass Xing Zhai. Therefore, she had already accepted in her heart that Xing Zhai would be her final destination.

Furthermore, there are two deeper reasons why she appears so stubborn and unwilling to marry him, even at the cost of her life: Xing Zhai used to be far too promiscuous, almost like he was playing himself. If she were to marry him too easily, she feared he still wouldn't know how to cherish her! In addition, Xing Zhai and Leng Ning Shuang, as the Demon Prince and Saintess, are both controlled by a dark curtain of fate that leads to death. However, Leng Ning Shuang does not approve of Xing Zhai's method of improving his cultivation level through extreme evil deeds. That is, she does not approve of his practice of indiscriminately killing innocent people and disregarding human life in order to resist the arrival of this dark curtain of fate. Therefore, even though Leng Ning Shuang forgave Xing Zhai's mistakes, she still maintains a lukewarm attitude.

……

Thirdly, Leng Ningshuang's emotions took another turn after Feng Ling arrived in the Land of Nine Infants. He not only accelerated the opening of the eight epic inheritances, but also made Leng Ningshuang change her mind.

In the end, they finally obtained the Nine-Headed Resurrection Grass. Feng Ling only took half a year, while Leng Ning Shuang only took a year and a half.

Meanwhile, the arrival of the Murong envoy, by a twist of fate, saved Leng Ningshuang invaluable time to enter the secret realm and reclaim the Eastern Saint's legacy.

It is worth mentioning that the year Feng Ling spent cultivating diligently at Bibo Pool corresponds to the year Leng Ning Shuang came to the Nine Infants Land for training before him.

Of course, because Feng Ling had been in seclusion for a year, the three-year agreement he had made with the Jade Purity Sect Master was naturally postponed by a year.

After being postponed for a year, just as the three-year agreement was about to expire, it happened to be a few days before the opening of the Grand Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects. Therefore, Feng Ling changed his plan to retrieve the Resurrection Grass within three years and represent the Jade Purity Sect in the Grand Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects.

Now, Feng Ling obtained the Resurrection Grass in half a year. Including the half-year he was asleep, it means that Feng Ling has stayed in the Nine Infant Land for at least a year, and there are still nearly two years left before the Grand Competition of Ten Thousand Sects.

Every time a creature hatches, it's a new beginning...

The world is full of chaos and troubles; may the sages and saints offer you a pure land for your souls.
