A Family of Hopeless Romantics, Except for the Evil Little Junior Brother-Chapter 202: Seeking Skin from a Tiger

Di Nü Feng slammed the table and stood up, her beautiful eyes glaring at Li Xuanxiao as she shouted:

"Li Xuanxiao, what the hll is going on? Why do you know that b**h Liu Qiushui!?"

Liu Qiushui also silently looked at Li Xuanxiao, seemingly waiting for him to give her an answer.

Li Xuanxiao:.........

Love triangle showdown?

Tsk~

Now this is getting interesting.

Li Xuanxiao and Jia Sidào both revealed somewhat helpless expressions.

Elder Sun on the side: (O_o)??

Wait... what was I about to say again? How did I end up here?

Why does this feel like I’ve just walked in on someone cheating?

Elder Sun looked at Li Xuanxiao—who the h*ll is this guy!?

He’s actually managing to stand on both ships at once, with Liu Qiushui and Di Nü Feng.

Li Xuanxiao rubbed his temples, “Ladies… now doesn’t really seem like the right time to argue about this. Can we talk later?”

“Fine, then tell me—are you closer to me or to her!” Di Nü Feng pressed.

Liu Qiushui didn’t say anything, but it was obvious—silence said it all.

Li Xuanxiao fell silent for a while, then suddenly twitched his mouth, and started foaming at the mouth.

Left hand six, right hand seven, left shoulder up, right shoulder down, left foot draws circles, right foot kicks.

“Daddy daddy daddy....”

Elder Sun took a deep breath.

This plot is ridiculous!!!

Elder Sun felt like, at his age, he’d seen everything. Nothing could surprise him anymore.

But right now, he felt like a fresh-faced rookie.

“What’s wrong with you?” Di Nü Feng asked, confused.

But Liu Qiushui reacted first and supported Li Xuanxiao:

“You didn’t know? His three souls and six spirits were damaged.”

Then she added, “It was for me—he got his soul memory forcibly extracted.”

Di Nü Feng frowned.

Damaged soul? Why had Li Xuanxiao never mentioned that to her?

Is he having another episode?

All for Liu Qiushui… and to think I treated you so well before.

Just thinking about it made Di Nü Feng puff her cheeks angrily.

[○･｀Д´･ ○]

“............”

This little interlude passed with Li Xuanxiao's “exit” as the price.

Several hours later.

Jia Sidào cleared his throat, “Everyone, would you be willing to join this earth-shaking venture with this humble Daoist?”

Di Nü Feng crossed her arms and still hadn’t cooled down, remaining silent.

But Liu Qiushui quickly composed herself and was the first to raise her teacup.

“The old emperor and I have an irreconcilable blood feud. This Honored One is willing to lend the Zhenren a hand.”

Now that Asura Hall was in decline, Liu Qiushui naturally needed an opportunity.

A chaotic world was the perfect stage. She was dying for all hell to break loose.

Only in chaos could she rise again.

Jia Sidào nodded and then looked toward Di Nü Feng.

Di Nü Feng noticed Jia Sidào’s gaze and thought of the plan Li Xuanxiao had previously hinted at. She boldly said:

“Count me in on killing the old emperor! No—count this Honored One in!”

Gotta keep the momentum!

Finally, Jia Sidào turned his gaze to Elder Sun.

Elder Sun pondered for a moment. “This is a serious matter. I must return and discuss it with my emperor.”

Surrounding and assassinating the Emperor of Daxia was undoubtedly in Great Sui’s interest.

In fact, it wasn’t just beneficial—it was a massive win. If Daxia fell and the old emperor died,

No one would profit more than Great Sui.

But this wasn’t something you could just do on a whim.

Di Nü Feng and Liu Qiushui could act without burden.

But as Great Sui’s Chief Offering, how could he get involved in this kind of affair?

If the plan were exposed, it would look like Great Sui had joined forces with Tian Sha Hall and Asura Hall to strike at Daxia.

If Mount Shushan found out, they’d never allow it.

“Afterwards, please give this old Daoist a definite answer,” Jia Sidào said.

Elder Sun cupped his hands, rose, and took his leave.

This Jia Sidào was clearly far more cunning than he appeared.

To plan things to this extent—and even work with people from the Demon Sect.

After Elder Sun left.

Jia Sidào arranged for Liu Qiushui to temporarily stay with him.

As for Di Nü Feng, the one who came was merely an avatar.

Her true body remained within Tian Sha Hall.

“..........”

Tian Sha Hall.

“Li Xuanxiao! You have another clone!?”

Di Nü Feng confronted Li Xuanxiao.

“Your other clone—why is it by Liu Qiushui’s side!? You better explain yourself!! How do you even know her? Are you scheming behind my back again?”

“Bang——!!!”

Li Xuanxiao slammed the table and stood up, glaring fiercely.

Di Nü Feng: ( ＞﹏＜。)

That scared me!

“I have an irreconcilable grudge with Liu Qiushui! Back on Wuwang Mountains, she nearly killed me. Have you forgotten?

If Liu Qiushui doesn’t die, I’ll never be at peace.

This time I’ve got it all planned out. I’ll let Liu Qiushui and the old emperor fight each other to the death. Then we just sit back and reap the benefits.

Once the emperor is dead, we’ll take Liu Qiushui out too—while we’re at it!”

Di Nü Feng gasped.

What a plan!!!

Although Asura Hall was weakened now, there was no guarantee Liu Qiushui wouldn’t rise again one day.

If she lived, Di Nü Feng would never feel at ease.

But killing Liu Qiushui wouldn’t be easy.

Di Nü Feng pondered for a moment and nodded. “You’re even sneakier than me!”

Suddenly, Di Nü Feng remembered something.

“Liu Qiushui said you even let yourself get soul-searched for her!!”

Di Nü Feng spoke softly.

“That was all part of the trick,” Li Xuanxiao said firmly. “It was just to make her believe me, to gain her trust.”

“Then who are you actually close to—her or me?”

Why does this feel like back in school, when a friend asks,

‘Are you closer to her or to me?’

Li Xuanxiao didn’t hesitate: “Of course I’m close to you. Come on, think about what we’ve been through—ride or die, you and me!”

Di Nü Feng nodded.

“..........”

“Of course I’m close to you!”

Li Xuanxiao said the same thing to Liu Qiushui.

“What I had with Di Nü Feng was just fake fun. It’s only real with you. Think about what we’ve got—we’re plotting against her together!

I’ve got it all planned out. When Di Nü Feng’s all exhausted from the fight, you strike and take her out!!”

Liu Qiushui nodded thoughtfully.

“...........”

Great Sui, Imperial Palace.

Deep within the palace, only Elder Sun and the Emperor of Great Sui were present.

Elder Sun laid out Jia Sidào’s plan in full.

The Emperor of Great Sui furrowed his brows.

“This is a serious matter. Elder Sun, what do you think?”

“This is not something we can decide based on their side of the story alone!”

“That’s what I think too,” the emperor nodded.

“Write a secret letter to inform Mount Shushan!” Elder Sun said.

The emperor nodded again.

This matter was no different from asking a tiger for its skin.

Winning would be great.

But if they lost—it would be eternal damnation.

The entire royal family of Great Sui, and the nation itself, would be doomed.
