Chapter 160: Lin Xian'er's Choice
Chapter 160: Lin Xian'er's Choice
With a face as smooth as polished jade and skin as fair as snow, Lin Xian'er stood there in a simple white fox fur coat, her long black hair loosely tied. Yet, her graceful figure, dazzling eyes, and ruby lips seemed to be a black hole, drawing all attention towards her.
Even Ding Baiyun couldn't help but pause, breath caught in her throat. She had never seen such a breathtaking beauty in her life. The captivating allure and graceful charm, a mix of purity and seduction, far surpassed that of the top courtesans of Qinhuai River.
Indeed, she was a woman easy to hate...
Lin Xian'er, of course, sensed Ding Baiyun's hostile gaze, but her smile remained unchanged. She knew that her true opponents were not Ding Baiyun, but Li Xunhuan and You Longsheng. She never considered any woman a rival.
Li Xunhuan glared at Lin Xian'er, his anger unabated, "I never expected you to show up in a place like this."
Lin Xian'er's smile was as gentle as flowing water as she looked at Li Xunhuan with loving eyes, "As long as you are there, I will go anywhere. You should know that I have always missed you."
Li Xunhuan's expression was cold, a look he rarely showed to others, "I don't want to see you at all. I only want to see A Fei."
Lin Xian'er continued to smile, "You don't want me to be with A Fei? Do you want me to leave him like I did with Lu Fengxian?"
Li Xunhuan replied coldly, "It's about leaving him, not destroying him."
Lin Xian'er smiled, "What if I've already destroyed him?"
Li Xunhuan's eyes held no warmth, not even as much as the light reflected off his blade, "Then you will regret ever showing up here today!"
But Lin Xian'er was indeed Lin Xian'er, and she continued to smile, even more gently and softly, "You won't do anything to me because only I can help you find A Fei, and only I can save him."
Lin Xian'er's smile was full of confidence, "Since I can destroy him, I can also save him."
Li Xunhuan's face changed abruptly as he realized Lin Xian'er was telling the truth.
At this point, Lin Xian'er turned her attention to You Longsheng, her eyes filled with grievance and her voice delicate, "Brother Sheng, you've hidden things from me and made me suffer."
You Longsheng blinked, enjoying the drama that had suddenly landed in his lap, "What have I hidden from you?"
Lin Xian'er said timidly, "I just found out that your martial arts and family background are among the best in the martial arts world, yet you've kept it from me. Are you worried that I would covet the position of Lady of the Sword-Hiding Villa?"
She had previously thought that the Sword-Hiding Villa was just a small power in Jin, but she never expected that in just two years, You Longsheng would have risen to fame, making both himself and the Sword-Hiding Villa renowned throughout the martial arts world.
Lin Xian'er felt a bit of regret. She should have held on tightly to You Longsheng, but there was still a chance now, wasn't there?
Even without A Fei, she couldn't control Shangguan Jinhong, but if she became the Lady of the Sword-Hiding Villa...
Lin Xian'er's gaze was like a pool of spring water, stirring You Longsheng's heart.
You Longsheng took a sharp breath, impressed and intrigued, "Look and learn from her. When have you ever treated me with such an attitude?" You Longsheng said to Ding Baiyun.
Ding Baiyun narrowed her eyes, and two cold lights shot out, as sharp as the axe lights flashing outside the Moon Palace.
Lin Xian'er certainly felt Ding Baiyun's gaze, a gaze that seemed to be looking at a dead person, causing goosebumps to rise on her skin.
However, Lin Xian'er never considered any woman a rival, as she had never lost to someone of the same sex.
Lin Xian'er giggled, "This sister has such scary eyes. Aren't you afraid that you'll push your man into another woman's arms?"
Ding Baiyun stared at Lin Xian'er and said coldly, "If anyone dares to seduce my man, I'll cut off her head."
Lin Xian'er laughed seductively, "But what if your man takes the initiative?"
Ding Baiyun remained cold, "I'll still cut off that woman's head."
Lin Xian'er couldn't help but laugh, "Don't you ever listen to reason?"
Ding Baiyun sneered, "You're a woman too. When have you ever listened to reason?"
Lin Xian'er's smile faded a bit as she realized that Ding Baiyun was serious and didn't seem intimidated at all.
She truly dared to cut off her head!
And she seemed ready to act on her words!
Completely disregarding A Fei's life and death, as well as Li Xunhuan and You Longsheng's reactions!
However...
How could Lin Xian'er be suppressed by another woman?
You Longsheng blinked, intrigued by Ding Baiyun's unexpected move. "Shouldn't it be just one strike?"
Ding Baiyun shot You Longsheng a sidelong glance, her teeth lightly grinding. "Do you really want this broken shoe in your room?"
Lin Xian'er's martial arts were not weak. In fact, compared to the average martial artist in the Jianghu, her skills were quite formidable. Back when she first appeared, she had easily defeated Sun Kui, the Purple-Faced Second Master, with just one move, and it wasn't solely because of her Green Magic Hand.
Although Ding Baiyun was unaware of this incident, she could tell that Lin Xian'er was not a martial arts novice pretending to be innocent. Moreover, with her connection to the Plum Blossom Bandit from over two decades ago and the considerable power she wielded, it was clear that her own martial arts skills were at least decent.
However...
Ding Baiyun let out a cold laugh. Not all female martial artists in this world were experts like Lan Yueyi and Da Huanxi. She refused to believe that Lin Xian'er, a woman who focused all her attention on seducing men, could withstand her thirty strikes.
Not thirty strikes, not even ten! So, if Lin Xian'er dared to agree, Ding Baiyun wouldn't mind leaving twenty sword marks on her face!
Lin Xian'er's smile became more forced. She knew she couldn't withstand thirty strikes from Ding Baiyun, and even if she could, she wouldn't. Her most powerful weapon had always been something other than her martial arts.
Unfortunately, her weapons were only effective against men.
So, Lin Xian'er turned to You Longsheng.
And she saw You Longsheng looking at her with great enthusiasm, his eyes full of encouragement, as if urging her not to back down and to face Ding Baiyun head-on.
Seeing You Longsheng's eager-for-a-showdown gaze, Lin Xian'er suddenly felt that she couldn't understand him either. He seemed like a completely different person from the one who had once acted like a devoted dog, gifting her the Fish Intestine Sword and climbing into her bed.
With Ding Baiyun by his side, seemingly unaffected by You Longsheng's influence, Lin Xian'er felt a bit intimidated. She shifted her gaze back to Li Xunhuan.
Li Xunhuan couldn't help but ask, "What do you want?"
Lin Xian'er made up her mind and said slowly, emphasizing each word, "I don't want anything. I want you!"
"Me?" Li Xunhuan asked, puzzled.
In the end, Lin Xian'er chose Li Xunhuan. Who wouldn't know of Li Xunhuan's reputation for valuing promises and loyalty, not to mention his exceptional martial arts skills? Lin Xian'er was seeking a sense of security!
"Using yourself in exchange for A Fei is a fair deal, isn't it?"
"It's not fair."
"What's unfair about it? A Fei is still mine!"
"But you've already destroyed him."
"So he still belongs to me, but if I go to save him, he won't be mine anymore." Lin Xian'er gently bit her lower lip, her eyes alluring. "That's why I need a man to protect me. If A Fei can't do it, who better than you?"
Lin Xian'er gently twisted her body, accentuating her enchanting curves as she slowly approached Li Xunhuan. "I promise, you won't regret it..."
Li Xunhuan's fists were already clenched. With his patience, he was almost at his limit.
But if he didn't agree to Lin Xian'er's demand, what would happen to A Fei? Li Xunhuan glanced at You Longsheng, only to see him standing at a distance, a schadenfreude smile on his face as he watched the unfolding drama.
Li Xunhuan nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood.
But Lin Xian'er's eyes lit up.
Unlike Shangguan Jinhong, Lin Xian'er clearly knew who Li Xunhuan was.
He was a man of chivalry and integrity, who valued his promises. Even if he hated her, he would protect her if he gave his word!
Perhaps she would become Mrs. Li?
Lin Xian'er smiled happily.
But the next moment, a crisp voice suddenly rang out, interrupting her train of thought. A figure stepped out of the corner and into the lamplight.
"You don't need to choose him; he can save A Fei too!"
Li Xunhuan turned abruptly. "Miss Sun?"
