Chapter 53: The Story of Blue Scorpion

The woman was dressed in a tight-fitting blue outfit with long sleeves, looking ethereal and graceful. She was tall and slender, with a slim waist and long legs. Her plump lips, captivating eyes, and alluring demeanor exuded a wild and captivating beauty that made one desire to be dominated and whipped into submission. At least, that was the impression she gave to the patrons of the inn.

Even Duan Qian and Feng Wan couldn't help but swallow nervously when they laid eyes on her.

However, You Longsheng saw her differently.

"Blue Scorpion?" he asked aloud, and the enthusiasm in the room seemed to cool instantly.

They couldn't believe that this woman, who exuded the aura of a temptress, was one of the top martial arts masters in the world.

Blue Scorpion smiled, sitting casually in a corner of the inn. She winked at You Longsheng, who had just entered, and gave him a sultry smile.

"You have a good eye, Master You. I always appreciate a man with taste." Her charm was undeniable, and her smile seemed to lure men in.

But the look You Longsheng gave her was neither lecherous nor fearful—it was a mix of shyness and cheerfulness, almost as if he was relieved to see her. He strode towards her, undaunted.

This took Blue Scorpion aback for a moment.

Then she noticed You Longsheng's companions hurrying to stop him.

"Master, be careful!" they warned.

You Longsheng waved them off, easily dismissing their concerns. "Careful of what? That Blue Scorpion will ambush me? Don't be ridiculous. If she wanted me dead, she wouldn't need to resort to underhanded tactics. It's not like I can avoid my fate by being cautious."

As he spoke, You Longsheng sat down directly across from Blue Scorpion.

Duan Qian and Feng Wan wore bitter expressions, unsure what had gotten into their master.

Thanks to Xue Yingzi's guidance and intense training, You Longsheng was now a formidable opponent, even if he might not be able to defeat Blue Scorpion just yet.

But why was he willingly putting himself in her grasp? Did he want to ensure a swift death?

Duan Qian and Feng Wan sat warily on either side of the square table, close to You Longsheng and as far away from Blue Scorpion as possible.

Blue Scorpion regarded You Longsheng with curiosity. "You're not afraid of me?"

You Longsheng nodded. "I am. But if I am fated to die by your hand, can you at least grant me a request before you kill me?"

Blue Scorpion's smile was both seductive and chilling. "Of course not."

"Then we have an agreement." You Longsheng shrugged. "Before you take my life, may I have a chat with you? I'm incredibly curious about you, and I'd like to die with my questions answered."

You Longsheng claimed to be curious about Blue Scorpion, but the truth was that she was equally intrigued by him.

She had never encountered a man who didn't desire her sexually, and whose courage didn't falter upon learning her identity. Here was a man who accepted his fate calmly and only wished to have a conversation with her before his death.

She was inclined to grant this handsome young man his wish, for she too was curious—curious about what had piqued his interest.

"Of course," she replied, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "What would you like to talk about?"

"Your story," You Longsheng said with a warm smile. "You know, when I first heard that Yi Ku had a lover who was not only incredibly skilled in martial arts but also renowned throughout the jianghu as the infamous Blue Scorpion, I was beyond curious!"

"Curious about what?" Blue Scorpion asked, leaning in slightly.

"Why, of course," You Longsheng replied, his eyes gleaming with interest.

"Even those who walk the path of righteousness rarely seek revenge for their so-called 'friends'."

"So, I am curious about this story, and I am curious about you. I want to know, how different is the real you from the one portrayed in the jianghu?"

Yu Longsheng's smile held no malice, but Blue Scorpion's smile froze on her face, as if a dagger had been plunged into her heart.

And just as Blue Scorpion's smile was about to fade, Yu Longsheng cheered inwardly.

Success!

Who Blue Scorpion was, Yu Longsheng probably understood better than she did herself, as the original novel clearly described her.

Seeking vengeance for Yi Ku.

She would let men pick her up along the way, only to kill them without hesitation.

However, she was deeply moved when Li Xenhuan broke one of her arms but spared her life, even expressing sympathy for her pain.

So, in Lin Xian'er's small building, she would rather secretly plot against the Supreme Treasure to save Li Xenhuan. In the end, when Li Xenhuan offered his hand for her to cut off, she was so moved that she voluntarily went to Da Huanxi Nu Pusa to face death.

Yu Longsheng summed it up for Gu Long: this was a person who appeared promiscuous and ruthless on the surface but yearned for true love deep down.

It could only be said that her past had shaped her current actions, but her heart had not completely fallen. This could also be seen from her act of taking revenge for Yi Ku.

If she had truly fallen, she would not have sought Li Xenhuan for Yi Ku's revenge.

So, Yu Longsheng was well aware that sincerity was the key to winning Blue Scorpion over!

And he also knew that Blue Scorpion was not the type to resort to violence at the slightest disagreement; she would give him enough opportunity to speak.

That was enough!

So, Yu Longsheng picked up the wine pot and steadily poured a cup for Blue Scorpion.

"Anyway, I'm already doomed, and I guess you don't have many people to chat with either. Why don't you tell me about what happened between you and Yi Ku?"

Blue Scorpion picked up the wine cup and drained it in one go, her eyes fixed on Yu Longsheng.

"Do you really want to hear it?"

"If you're willing to tell, I'd be more than happy to listen."

Yu Longsheng smiled faintly. "If I'm going to die, I want to die by the hands of the real Blue Scorpion."

Finally, Blue Scorpion's smile faded, and she said flatly, without any emotion, "It's not really a special story, to be honest."

"In a certain tribe in the Xingxu Sea, there was a little girl who herded sheep during the day and sang at night. For the first decade or so of her life, she lived a carefree life."

"But when she turned thirteen, her father's friend betrayed him, and her tribe was invaded by enemies. She was the only one who managed to escape."

"During her escape, she endured many hardships and came close to death several times. Everyone she encountered had ill intentions."

"And then she met a man."

"This man saved her, but he also took advantage of her."

"He taught her some martial arts, but he did not accept her as a disciple."

"Although he was brutal and bloodthirsty, he treated her well, at least."

"Now that he's dead, the little girl naturally wants to take revenge for him."

Blue Scorpion looked at Yu Longsheng. "My story is over. Are you ready to meet your end?"
