After Defying the Villain’s Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!

Chapter 143



Chapter 143

After reaching Jiang Chen’s side, Xiaobai shook its tiger head like a rattle-drum.

“I won’t consider it anymore. That bald donkey deceived me. He doesn’t know how to defy the heavens at all!” she said with determination.

“You actually realized you were deceived?” Jiang Chen was astonished!

Xiaobai felt underestimated and instinctively wanted to retort, but she lacked the confidence to do so.

However, after this incident, she finally understood.

Only Jiang Chen, this Eldest Senior Brother, would defy the heavens!

Although it was Qingning’s contracted beast, both she and Qingning were determined to follow Jiang Chen for life!

She also secretly made a resolution.

From now on, she must think more carefully about things and not be deceived again.

Being deceived itself was one thing, but the fact that Eldest Senior Brother had deliberately come to the rescue made her feel guilty!

“Wuu wuuu, Eldest Senior Brother…”

Thinking about it, Xiaobai moved itself and said: “Eldest Senior Brother, rest assured, I won’t become a monk, I…”

“Xiaobai, I think you should reconsider.”

Jiang Chen interrupted, raising his hand and looking serious, “They say Buddha delivers all beings, if you enter the monastic life, maybe you can escape the Three Realms and not be confined by the Five Elements! Then, you would be supreme above everyone under heaven!”

Xiaobai was full of question marks.

What does that mean?

Does that mean Eldest Senior Brother still very much approves of her becoming a monk?

But that preaching monk was clearly a fraud!

“Xiaobai, Eldest Senior Brother wouldn’t deceive you. Go on, go find that preaching monk now and tell him you want to become a monk,” Jiang Chen continued to persuade earnestly.

“But that preaching monk doesn’t know how to defy the heavens!” Xiaobai was puzzled.

“Maybe he doesn’t, but the Buddha does!”

Jiang Chen still looked serious, “Eldest Senior Brother believes in you. As long as you persevere, you can…”

“I can become a Buddha?” Xiaobai’s eyes lit up again.

“No, you can become Buddha’s mount!”

Xiaobai immediately looked disgusted.

Although being Buddha’s mount was impressive, it was not quite what she had imagined.

Seeing Jiang Chen trying to persuade her again with a sly smile on his face, Xiaobai quickly kept her distance and said: “Eldest Senior Brother, you have a sinister smile! And according to my experience, you’re up to no good every time you smile like this!”

“…I’m not, I didn’t, don’t talk nonsense!” Jiang Chen reined in his smile and quickly denied it three times in a row.

After taking a deep look at Xiaobai, he had a feeling.

This stupid tiger seemed… not so easy to deceive anymore?

Could it be that it had learned from its mistakes and had become wiser?

Seeing that Xiaobai was unwilling to become a monk, Jiang Chen had no choice but to make desperate eye signals to Liu Wen and Liu Wu.

The meaning of his eyes was simple: “If Xiaobai doesn’t want to become a monk, then you two go and take his place!”

This made the Liu brothers smile bitterly.

When they came, Jiang Chen had said to persuade Xiaobai well, even if it meant causing a big scene at the Buddha’s temple, they must stop Xiaobai from wanting to become a monk.

But now…

Indeed, they were persuading, but it turned out to be persuading Xiaobai to become a monk.

Now that Xiaobai was unwilling, it was their turn.

Understanding Jiang Chen’s intentions, the brothers dared not resist, but just as they were about to speak up…

“Jiang Chen?”

An incredulous shout came from within the stone statues of the temple.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen’s pupils shrank slightly, and he looked in the direction of the voice.

He saw a middle-aged monk dressed in a kasaya, with fresh scars from the monastic discipline on his head and a sinister look in his eyes, walking towards him.

Xiaobai bristled immediately, baring her teeth and saying: “Eldest Senior Brother, it’s him! He tried to deceive me into becoming a monk!”

Upon hearing this, Liu Wen and Liu Wu both thought to themselves: Just now, Eldest Senior Brother also wanted to deceive you into becoming a monk…

Ignoring Xiaobai, Jiang Chen felt the person looked familiar and scrutinized him closely.

Soon, he recognized the man’s identity.

The traitor of Jiuyan Sect, Lu Qi!

He and Lu Qi were villains of the Jiuyan Sect and had a good personal relationship.

The main reason Lu Qi betrayed the sect was because he committed evil deeds together with him, which led to a conflict with Li Fadu.

Through the cycles of reincarnation, Jiang Chen had always known that after betraying the sect, Lu Qi had converted to the Buddhist Sect, but he had never encountered him before.

Jiang Chen felt somewhat helpless. He had just been ready to go all out and kill a preaching monk.

Who would have thought that this person would turn out to be Lu Qi!

They were both villains, looked favorably upon each other, and had committed evil deeds together in Jiuyan Sect, so they had a deep friendship.

With such a relationship, how could he rashly kill him?

He needed to find an excuse! “Elder Lu, long time no see,” said Jiang Chen.

“Yes, back in the day, you and I committed many deeds together, how fun was that? Now, things have changed, you are still you, but I have already converted to the Buddhist Sect,” Lu Qi said with emotion.

Jiang Chen nodded.

Lu Qi led him to an intact stone table, and Jiang Chen gently touched his spirit ring, taking out several jars of fine wine.

“Monks do not drink alcohol,” Lu Qi waved his hand.

“Elder Lu, let’s not mince words. Don’t we know each other well? Converting to the Buddhist Sect is just a temporary measure for you, and now that the monks in the temple have all fled and there is no one around, why bother keeping up appearances?” Jiang Chen teased.

“Haha! Indeed, we are birds of a feather!” Lu Qi laughed heartily, and as he spoke, he poured himself a cup of wine and drank it in one gulp. “Refreshing!”

The strong liquor warmed his belly, and he praised it with a flushed face.

Seeing Jiang Chen smiling without a word, he angrily said, “If it weren’t for Li Fadu opposing me, how could I have fallen to such a state?”

“Rest assured, Elder Lu, Li Fadu has met with retribution. He’s gone mad,” Jiang Chen said with a smile.

“Mad?” Lu Qi was taken aback.

It was not uncommon for cultivators to go insane, and he didn’t think Jiang Chen would lie to him.

After a brief moment of astonishment, he slapped his thigh and laughed loudly, “Haha, good, good! I really want to see what that Li Fadu looks like in his madness!”

“Not just Li Fadu, the Jiuyan Sect has pretty much gone mad too,” Jiang Chen added.

“Ah? Really?” Lu Qi was shocked.

After confirming several times that Jiang Chen was not joking, he frowned and said, “The Jiuyan Sect is after all a top sect in the Central Domain, how could it be that they’ve all gone mad? There’s something strange about this…”

“…It doesn’t have something to do with you, does it?” he speculated.

In his view, Jiang Chen naturally didn’t have the strength, but the Jiang Family did! Jiang Chen simply smiled faintly without responding.

Although he and Lu Qi were both villains, the latter was a typical petty one.

Lu Qi was not only morally corrupt, lacking in propriety, integrity, and a sense of shame, but also liked to judge others by his own standards.

Jiang Chen knew that explanations were useless, so naturally, there was no need to explain.

Moreover, if one were to analyze the situation seriously, it indeed had a lot to do with his “poisonous” actions.

This made Lu Qi even more convinced of his thoughts, and he laughed, “Awesome! You really do things decisively! That Sect Master Gu Changqing always acts so self-righteous, constantly trying to earn merit for the sect and keeping a close eye on us, he deserves to go mad!”

Jiang Chen nodded in agreement.

“The people of Ninth Peak are the same. That Jiang Lianyue, relying on her status as a potential empress, always looked down on us. Seeing her go mad is truly satisfying!” Lu Qi continued.

After a slight hesitation, Jiang Chen still nodded.

“And that Lin Mubai, having an Innate Dao Bone but not using it, insisting on studying sage books instead, isn’t that foolish?” Lu Qi added.

“Indeed, he’s a fool,” Jiang Chen agreed wholeheartedly.

“And Qingning is the same. Wasn’t it just that you tricked her out of some heavenly and earthly treasures? There’s no need to act so innocent, it’s simply nauseating!” Lu Qi went on.

“…”

This time, Jiang Chen frowned.

Unaware of his change in emotion, Lu Qi got carried away and continued to rant, “And your master Xiao Hongyi, she seems to favor you on the surface, but in reality, she punishes you over and over! Such hypocrisy is equally nauseating…”

Before he could finish, a flash of crimson sword light appeared.

And when the sword light disappeared, Jiang Chen held a blood-red spirit sword in his hand, and a bloody mark appeared on Lu Qi’s neck.

The next second,

“Spurt—”

Blood gushed from the mark like a fountain, the world awash with scarlet.

The blood that sprayed out hadn’t even splattered onto Jiang Chen’s black clothes before it was incinerated by the temperature of the blood sword in his hand.

Lu Qi’s body swayed as he suddenly stood up.

He widened his eyes, his hands clutching his neck in disbelief.

He tried to use his vital energy to heal his wound, but the Sword Qi had penetrated deep into his marrow, disrupting all his vital energy and leaving him unable to muster any.

He could only watch helplessly as his life force slipped away!

“Why… why did you kill me?” Lu Qi asked as he fell to the ground, his life force completely fading.

“Because you knew too much, and you talked too much,” Jiang Chen said indifferently while sipping his wine.
