Chapter 2220 - 2179: Only Love Kills the Most

"I wasn't peeking at you," Wang Xiaoqiang argued.

Du Lingfei said, "Then how do you know how to set up the Water Ripple Formation?"

"I, I..." Wang Xiaoqiang stammered and hemmed and hawed. In the end, he simply wrapped his arms around Du Lingfei, lifted her up, and directly flew into a secret chamber. Du Lingfei, not knowing what was going on, struggled with all her might. "You, what are you doing? Let me go..."

Wang Xiaoqiang released her and said, "I'll be honest with you, I have a Heavenly Eye."

Du Lingfei said in shock and doubt, "You have a Heavenly Eye?"

"That's right. Look, right here." Wang Xiaoqiang pointed at the center of his brows, signaling her to look.

When Du Lingfei looked, she saw a faint Lightning Mark there, like an eye.

"Is that real?" Du Lingfei asked curiously.

"Touch it and see." Wang Xiaoqiang said.

Du Lingfei stretched out her slender, jade-like fingers and touched the center of Wang Xiaoqiang's brow. She felt that Lightning Mark move slightly, as if an eye blinked. Du Lingfei's heart gave a jolt; her face was filled with wonder.

While Du Lingfei was touching Wang Xiaoqiang's Heavenly Eye, Wang Xiaoqiang was also examining her at close range. Du Lingfei's fair, jade-like little face was tinged with two blushes on her cheeks, like pear blossoms in the sun, extremely adorable. With the faint fragrance from her body, the allure only deepened. Wang Xiaoqiang looked and inhaled, and suddenly couldn't help himself; he planted a kiss on her fragrant cheek.

"Ah..." Du Lingfei cried out in surprise, her pretty cheeks instantly flushing red. She slapped at Wang Xiaoqiang in shy anger. "You–you scoundrel..."

Wang Xiaoqiang caught Du Lingfei's hands and forcibly pulled her into his arms, laughing as he said, "Lingfei, if fate wants two people together, it'll bring them together even from a thousand miles away. I came from the Ancient Continent, and the moment I arrived I met you, and even saved your life. Tell me, isn't that fate? This is called a bond set across three lifetimes. Even though your father tried every way to stop us, in the end we're still together..."

Du Lingfei struggled in shy embarrassment, wanting to break free of his embrace, but seeing how strong he was, she couldn't break loose at all. She said in a mix of shame and anger, "You–you still have the nerve to say that? You killed so many of our Linshui Sect Disciples..."

Yet there was no guilt on Wang Xiaoqiang's face. He said, "...That just proves how powerful love is. There are eighty thousand characters in this world, but only the character for 'love' kills the most... Anyone who dies because of you and me is killed by love... Anyone who stands in the way of us being together has to die."

As he spoke, Wang Xiaoqiang held her soft, warm, jade-like body tightly in his arms. Du Lingfei's fragrant heart trembled secretly. Back when Wang Xiaoqiang saved her life and followed her and Miao Gu into the Linshui Sect, she had once fantasized that her father would treat him well, would agree to take Wang Xiaoqiang as his son-in-law. From then on, she and Wang Xiaoqiang would become husband and wife, stay together for a lifetime, grow old side by side. Her father would also pass the Soft Water Technique on to Wang Xiaoqiang, and then hand over the position of Sect Master to him...

The result...

Now...

They were together, and Wang Xiaoqiang had obtained the Soft Water Technique as well, but the nature of it all was completely different.

Fate toys with people!

Du Lingfei sighed in her heart.

She didn't know how she should face Wang Xiaoqiang. As for his pursuit, she didn't know whether she should accept it or reject it.

"With the Great Water Ripple Formation in place, this place should be very safe now. Stay here obediently; I'll go outside and find out news about your father," Wang Xiaoqiang patted Du Lingfei's fragrant shoulder and said.

Du Lingfei was also anxious about her father. She didn't know whether, in his battle against Du Xiongshan, he had won or lost, whether he was alive or dead. Now, hearing Wang Xiaoqiang say this, she nodded and said, "Mm, Little Qiang, Little Qiang, I hope you won't hold any more hatred against my father."

"Don't worry, for your sake, I can turn weapons of war into gifts of jade and silk with your father." Wang Xiaoqiang smiled at her, looking extremely magnanimous.

"Little Qiang, thank you." Du Lingfei said from the bottom of her heart.

"Don't just thank me with words, give me something practical." Wang Xiaoqiang said with a grin.

"Hmph, you already kissed me, what more do you want?" Seeing his bad intentions, Du Lingfei snorted in shy anger and cast him a coquettish glare with her pretty eyes.

"Me kissing you and you kissing me don't feel the same. Now, you kiss me once. Give me a bit of motivation; only then will I have the drive to go find out news about your father." Wang Xiaoqiang said.

Du Lingfei's pretty face flushed red, her shy eyes lifting slightly as she said, "Then, close your eyes."

Wang Xiaoqiang closed his eyes. Three seconds after he did, he suddenly opened them again, perfectly catching the moment when Du Lingfei, eyes closed, leaned forward with her red lips and brushed a light dragonfly kiss on his face.

Feeling those soft red lips, Wang Xiaoqiang both enjoyed it and wanted to go a step further, so he pressed his lips to hers and forcefully kissed her. Du Lingfei hadn't expected Wang Xiaoqiang to be so greedy, unsatisfied even after she kissed him once and actually demanding more, directly taking her lips. She slapped him in shy anger, struggling with all her might.

Wang Xiaoqiang didn't care in the slightest. That kiss was overbearing and unrestrained, with an air of not stopping until he was completely satisfied. In the end, Du Lingfei could only compromise and let him take advantage of her as he pleased.

After tasting the sweetness, Wang Xiaoqiang finally let her go. He released her and stared at her, watching her pretty face flush, shy to the point of not knowing what to do, filled with both resentment and coquettish anger. It was honestly even more satisfying and gratifying than forcibly taking her.

Du Lingfei's eyes dodged; she didn't dare meet his gaze. As soon as he let her go, she turned around and ran off. Wang Xiaoqiang chuckled, then left the secret chamber and flew straight out to gather information about Du Xiongshan and Du Shuiyue.

The news that the entire Linshui Sect had marched to attack the Kaoshan Sect, and that the two brothers of the past were going to duel, had long since spread like wildfire, so it wasn't hard to find out what had happened.

Wang Xiaoqiang merely took a turn around a restaurant outside and obtained reliable news.

You don't know until you hear it; once you hear it, it scares you.

It turned out that this battle between Du Xiongshan and Du Shuiyue, this battle between the Kaoshan Sect and the Linshui Sect, was truly tragic. Du Xiongshan was the culprit behind the Du Family's annihilation; to avenge the destruction of his clan, Du Shuiyue swore an undying feud with Du Xiongshan. As a result, the Linshui Sect and the Kaoshan Sect, Du Shuiyue and Du Xiongshan, fought to the bitter end, never resting until one side died...

Originally, the Kaoshan Sect, as a Second-Level Sect, was at a disadvantage, but because the Linshui Sect was attacking the Kaoshan Sect and the battlefield was on Kaoshan Sect territory, one side was on the offensive while the other was on the defensive. As the defending side, the Kaoshan Sect used Formations for protection and comparatively strengthened themselves quite a bit. In the end, the two sides were more or less evenly matched. In a game of chess, this would be called facing a worthy opponent, but in war, the most terrifying thing is exactly this kind of balance of power, because the outcome can be terrible; the strength of both sides will be worn away in the fierce fighting.

The result was that the Kaoshan Sect was almost completely wiped out, and the Linshui Sect didn't fare much better. Nine-tenths of the Disciples who participated in the war died, and the remaining tenth were all wounded. The final outcome was that the Kaoshan Sect was destroyed, with only Du Xiongshan and a few confidant Disciples fleeing with him while injured.

As for the Linshui Sect, because its internal defenses were hollowed out, it was seized by the Third Level Great Sect, the Void-Piercing Sect. Du Shuiyue no longer tried to reclaim the Linshui Sect. His heart held nothing but hatred; he swore not to rest until Du Xiongshan was dead. He led his men in pursuit of Du Xiongshan, chasing him to kill him. As for how it ended, no one knew.

Hearing this news, Wang Xiaoqiang sighed with emotion, thinking to himself that it was a good thing he had taken Du Lingfei away early. Otherwise she would definitely have fallen into the hands of the Void-Piercing Sect people by now, and her situation would be miserable.
