Everyone in the martial world knew that Ruan Qingpu and Tang Jiao were bitter enemies.
Ruan Qingpu prided herself on being the greatest champion of robbing the rich to help the poor. She had offended every powerful and influential figure in the capital, living boldly and doing as she pleased. Dressed in red and riding a fine horse, she had made a name for herself across the land.
Tang Jiao, by contrast, was a paragon of righteousness, cool and distant as the bright moon in the heavens, an unattainable flower growing high on a mountain peak.
For Ruan Qingpu to stay by her side was already an outrageous breach of propriety, and everyone gossiped about it.
Far worse was risking her life for Tang Jiao, facing death alongside her and doing everything in her power to keep her safe.
"Why would you sacrifice so much for me?"
When Tang Jiao was trapped and imprisoned, her white robes stained with blood. She should have looked utterly wretched, yet her face was breathtakingly beautiful.
"The righteous and the wicked follow different paths. You and I can never... have a future together."
"How can you know if you haven't tried?" Ruan Qingpu said with a bright smile. "If we join forces, what under heaven could we fail to accomplish?"
That was the moment Tang Jiao fell into the web of affection this woman had spun, a storm raging beneath her cool expression.
Only later did Ruan Qingpu discover that even the usually composed Tang Jiao, when drunk, would blush at the corners of her eyes and softly call her, "You vixen, you've ruined my peace of mind..."
"Is that so?" Ruan Qingpu was feeling mischievous. "The elders in my family all call me Qingqing. Would you call me Qingqing too?"
In an instant, Tang Jiao's ears turned so red they looked ready to bleed, and even her breathing grew ragged. "You..."
Ruan Qingpu instinctively reached out to steady her, then suddenly blacked out.
Tang Jiao's hand covered her eyes, and an unfamiliar softness landed on the corner of her lips.
Ruan Qingpu froze. She had left behind countless legends in her life, and everyone called her a legendary thief, yet Tang Jiao had stolen the most important thing of all from her.
To make her feelings clear, Ruan Qingpu ignored the wanted posters plastered across the city, determined to tell Tang Jiao the secret she had kept in her heart.
"For you, my heart is a silken net, knotted a thousand times over... For you, I ask for nothing but this moment."
She heard an answer.
"I feel the same for you. Righteous or wicked, all that matters is this moment."
With a single promise to care nothing for right or wrong, Tang Jiao lured Ruan Qingpu into her trap, step by step, all to arrest her.
Only after being thrown into prison did Ruan Qingpu finally realize that Tang Jiao had never loved her.
Ruan Qingpu faked her death and escaped, resolving to forget Tang Jiao and leave the affairs of the world behind.
Who could have guessed that news would soon spread through the martial world that Tang Jiao had gone alone to Blood Rain Tower to seize Ruan Qingpu's belongings, determined to keep her by her side forever?
Ruan Qingpu: ?!
How terrifying. She would never dare provoke Tang Jiao again.
Years after they parted, Ruan Qingpu was ambushed. As her ship sank, she unexpectedly saw Tang Jiao again.
Tang Jiao was still cool and aloof as snow on a mountain, but her eyes were dark as she leaned in and demanded, "Qingqing, why... did you leave me behind..."
They take turns pursuing each other. Updates usually come in the evening.
New Novel Coming Soon
I Mistook My Yandere Wife for a Sickly Girl and Raised Her into an Empress
Xiao Yan, a wolf girl from the northern frontier, VS Murong Yan, the eldest princess of Great Yan
1.
A hostage sent by Great Yan to the northern frontier disappeared along the way.
Xiao Yan, a tribal leader, had eerie green eyes and had grown up among wolves. She could barely read, yet somehow ended up taking in a handful of trouble: Murong Yan. The woman was as pale as snow and so frail she coughed up blood every three steps and fainted every five.
"Xiao Yan, I'm cold..."
"Xiao Yan, I want to sleep in your arms..."
Everyone in the tribe said the delicate woman from the Central Plains wouldn't survive the winter.
But Xiao Yan managed to keep her alive. She made her drink sheep's milk, taught her to ride and shoot, took her out to herd livestock, and even prepared medicinal baths for her herself.
Half a year later, Murong Yan was not only alive, but rosy-cheeked and strong enough to knock down a grassland warrior with her bare hands.
"Xiao Yan."
She smiled as she hooked a finger into the tribal leader's belt. "Now that I'm well again, shouldn't I learn something else?"
2.
There were rumors in the tribe that Murong Yan was a spy.
Someone intercepted her falcon and found a secret letter tied to its wing.
Xiao Yan held the letter up to the candlelight and spent half the night deciphering it. She stumbled through the words she recognized, her ears turning red as she slapped the table.
"That's nonsense! It clearly says... says she wants to start a family with me!"
3.
No one knew that Murong Yan had done it on purpose.
She deliberately coughed up blood, deliberately pretended to faint, and deliberately slipped under Xiao Yan's fur blanket in the middle of the night.
She taught the wolf to read, helped her eliminate political rivals, and even placed the golden crown of tribal leadership on her head with her own hands.
Then, after a passionate night together, she stole Xiao Yan's wolf-head jade pendant and vanished without a trace.
"Xiao Yan."
Dressed in phoenix robes and exuding regal grace, the woman smiled from the imperial throne thousands of miles away. "You taught me that if you want something, you have to take it with your own hands."
Theme: Do what little we can to bring peace to the world.
Does the vegetable design competition ask you to cook? Hahaha
It's over~ I can't let go of this story, I really like it. I didn't expect Tang Jiao's transformation in the later period, but I really like it very much. This crazy character design is simply my XP. In the end, the two of them can live happily together, which is a blessing after all the hardships. Especially for Qingqing, it is really miserable. In the early stage, I was injured all the time. In the later stage, I suffered both heart and body injuries. In the end, I lost all my martial arts. Such a dazzling Thief Saint. Personally, in comparison, Qingqing was injured the most 😭 😭 But it will be fine if you two are good 😭
No, is Tang Jiaojiao going to give Hua Xinzi her eyes?
Ruan: It's over, Zhen and Fengpi are getting along
Does one of these two have to be blind? 😭 😭 No, 😭 😭 😭
These chapters are quite interesting. I would like to call them the collision of "Tao", the discussion of how to live in the world and save the world. Shen Chao has her own shortcomings of unscrupulous means and indifference to human life, but it cannot be denied that she has also saved people. The Lingxiao Pavilion for women gives those who cannot live a chance to live. That sentence is also true: No matter what kind of life you live, whether you live well or not, at least you are alive. But Tang Jiao was not wrong. She was too noble and upright. For her, there was no dust in her eyes. One person's life was also fate, and one person's suffering was also suffering. She could not sacrifice innocent people to benefit the world. This is the world in her heart and what she wants to do for the people. For her, she would rather die standing than live like the people in Shuijing Township. This is her pride and her shining point. As for Qingqing, Jiang He said that if she had not met Tang Jiao, she would not necessarily deny Shen's actions. I don't agree, because Qingqing is also a person who has the world in mind, otherwise she would not rob the rich and give to the poor. She stayed for these few cases (although there are also reasons for Tang and Tang), and she also They have a very clear view of right and wrong. In fact, I think they are essentially the same kind of people. One is in the world of politics and the other is in the officialdom. They have reached the same destination by different paths. Otherwise, they would not be attracted to each other. Because in this turbid world, how can we not feel happy to have such a "fellow-minded person"? (Quietly speaking, in fact, the two approaches of Tang and Shen are somewhat similar to the balanced development and growth pole theories)
Too cruel. I don't want Ye Sheng to end up like this [covering face, laughing and crying]
If Tang Jiao had a darkening value, this episode would have added a lot of progress.
Hahahaha, Xiao Jiang, didn't you realize that Tang Jiao was jealous? Hhhhhh You are too close to the monster!
I roughly know what the two of them want. Qingqing is a self-sacrifice type. She only wants Tang Jiao's good, and she does not hesitate to pay the price for it. As long as Tang Jiao wants Qingqing to stay by her side, she doesn't need to run for him or sacrifice anything for it. No wonder Tang Jiao turned black. Hehehe.
