Rong Shi!
The person she had never imagined she would see, even in her dreams.
Ever since Lin Yun died and Rong Shi seized the chance to flee the Upper Realm, Gong Qi had never seen him again.
Gong Qi had thought he had vanished from her life for good.
Never in her wildest dreams had she expected their paths to become entangled again.
Gong Qi gritted her molars until they creaked. "You really know how to put on an act!"
At any rate, in the original novel, Rong Shi had been a handsome, dashing man, as radiant and unrestrained as the wind and moon. Yet now, he had disguised himself as a frail, tearful spirit plant.
Rong Shi had kept up this disguise for so long, and Gong Qi had not detected the slightest anomaly...
Rong Shi's expression darkened, and unmistakable jealousy flashed through his eyes.
"If I possessed Auspicious Purple Qi as rich as yours, why would I fear a difficult Immortal Path? If I had not been driven into a dead end, why would I have gone through the trouble of changing my appearance and hiding by your side?"
Gong Qi gave a cold laugh. "Now you're blaming me... You and Lin Yun truly are birds of a feather. You clearly act for the sake of your own greed, yet you always love shoving the blame onto others."
"You are always innocent, always claiming that the Heavenly Dao is cruel and others have forced your hand... What a magnificent, innocent white lotus blooming in this flourishing age."
Gong Qi's words angered Rong Shi somewhat.
"What do you know?!"
A dark gleam flashed through his eyes. A black sword appeared in his palm, its blade gleaming with chilling light as it carried dense Sword Qi toward Gong Qi.
