Fox Empress
"I did say there were three of them, but when did I ever say there were only three? I merely thought you might not recognize the Divine Turtle Holy Mother, so I left her out." Qingcheng Ruoxue's expression was as calm as a pool of water, but I knew she was as crafty as a fox and had set a trap that boxed me in.
"You! How could I not recognize the Divine Turtle Holy Mother? She and I are mortal enemies—grinding her bones to dust and scattering her ashes would still not be enough!" I was so furious I had nothing to say. Qingcheng Ruoxue had gotten the news so quickly; how could she not know that the Divine Turtle Holy Mother and I were sworn enemies? She had clearly concealed this on purpose.
"The contract has been made, Xia Yitian. Are you planning to go back on your word?" Qingcheng Ruoxue asked with a frown. I ground my teeth until they clicked. That woman was devious no matter the time or place. With Sister-in-law not here, I had no way to deal with two Three-Tribulation True Immortals while maintaining double protection. With Sister-in-law, it would have been like fighting two against one, and even against two opponents, I could ensure nothing went wrong. But the situation had changed drastically now. If they pulled some underhanded trick, it would be impossible to guard against.
Besides, the original plan had been for her to deal with two while I handled the remaining one. Now it had become two against four.
"That's why I gave Wan Songxiao and Gudu Mu to you. Gudu Mu wields her sickle sword quite well, but Wan Songxiao is merely sly and isn't strong in actual combat. You can deal with her easily.
