Chapter 191: Exasperated Lady Crescent Moon

The elegant widow Mu Qingshuang was utterly shocked upon hearing her friend's words. She looked at Su Jingyi with a puzzled expression, finding it hard to believe that the esteemed and graceful Fairy Su, an immortal among mortals, not only had a man who wasn't entirely devoted to her but also harbored feelings for another woman. It seemed that this man had a lot of nerve.

Moreover, it wasn't just about the man's audacity; Su Jingyi's demeanor was unexpectedly melancholic and downcast. Mu Qingshuang was surprised that she wasn't furious. Shouldn't she be filled with anger, to the point of taking her sword and dealing with that faithless man? Instead, she appeared disheartened and forlorn.

Mu Qingshuang opened her mouth but wasn't sure what to say. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation, and she hesitated for a moment before softly asking, "When did you find out that he had another woman in his heart, and not just you?"

From the very beginning, actually. Su Jingyi pursed her lips and said in a soft tone."If I tell you, will you laugh at me?"

"Laugh at what?"

"You're my best sister. Seeing you so upset now, how could I pour salt on your wound?" Mu Qingshuang rolled her eyes and wiped the damp table with her handkerchief. She poured herself another cup of tea and prepared to take a sip.

"To be honest, I've known from the start that there's another woman in his heart, and to be precise, he and that woman have been deeply in love for a long time," Su Jingyi's cold face was filled with a helpless and troubled expression as she spoke in a hushed voice.

After hearing this, Mu Qingshuang's hand trembled once again, and this time, the teacup fell to the floor, shattering it. She stared at the Daoist nun in front of her in shock, her eyes filled with astonishment, disbelief, and even a sense of being completely at a loss.The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B11n.

Could it be? Jingyi... Jingyi actually fell in love with a man who already has a woman. What is she thinking?

"You, you..."

Mu Qingshuang stuttered for a long time but couldn't form a complete sentence. She quickly composed herself, then scolded Su Jingyi without much patience, "Are you out of your mind? How could you fall in love with a man who already has a woman? Are you trying to become someone's concubine?"

"How could I be someone's concubine? If there's a concubine, it would be that woman." Su Jingyi bit her lip and responded softly.

"Hey!"

"Was I implying that?" The elegant widow rolled her eyes and scolded her irritably, "I meant, how could you fall in love with such a man? You know he has a woman, so why would you dive into these troubled waters? Besides, with your status, you're a revered immortal in the eyes of countless people. How can you do something so embarrassing?"

Su Jingyi slowly raised her tea cup, took a small sip, and calmly replied, "I came here to seek comfort from you, not for a lecture on morality. I already know all the things you've mentioned, but some things are just unconventional, even irrational. If everything in the world required a perfect answer, don't you think life would be very boring?"

"Knowing all that and still doing it," Mu Qingshuang said with annoyance, "you asked me to comfort you, but how can I provide comfort? You know I've always been alone and never had a partner."

Su Jingyi remained silent and quietly sipped her tea. She wore an expression of sorrow on her face. After she put her tea cup down, she softly asked, "Do you think I'm incredibly foolish? To the point of being irredeemable?"

"Yes!" Mu Qingshuang bluntly responded, "Knowing it's impossible and still proceeding. It's not just foolish; it's plain stupidity. What else could it be?"

Su Jingyi sighed, looking at her tea cup. She responded, "From the beginning of our meeting, to getting to know each other, and eventually understanding each other, to now being in love. You might not understand how many things have happened in between, but I... I can't leave him, and I'm even willing to make many sacrifices for him."

"You!" Mu Qingshuang couldn't find words to express her shock, glaring at Su Jingyi, both surprised and enraged. She eventually asked, "Who is he, exactly?"

Su Jingyi let out a long sigh and mumbled to herself, "I can hardly believe it myself. I've gone so far, but now it doesn't matter. I... I already belong to him..."

Mu Qingshuang hesitated and asked softly, "Does that woman know? She probably doesn't, right?"

"Qingshuang..."

"The relationship between me and that woman is much more complex than you can imagine, so I can't reveal too much information to you," Su Jingyi said calmly. "I'm not intentionally hiding anything from you; I'm protecting you from that woman. She's formidable, and I'm afraid she might hurt you."

"I see," Mu Qingshuang said, pursing her lips. "I tried to inquire about the man's background, and you've always been evasive. So, is that woman really so powerful? Is she a threat even to you? You're one of the two seventh realm experts in the world; theoretically, no one should be able to threaten you."

Su Jingyi slightly frowned, her icy face revealing a hint of helplessness. She casually said, "She is a woman you wouldn't expect."

A woman I wouldn't expect? And she can even intimidate Su Jingyi with her status? Mu Qingshuang thought for a moment. "First, let's rule out the obvious answer. It definitely isn't the millennia-old demoness Miao Fengxian. No man in the world would dare to provoke her. That leaves... well..."

Su Jingyi lightly bit her lips and said indifferently, "Enough, enough. Don't guess. You can't possibly guess who she is. By the way, I wanted to ask you a few things."

Mu Qingshuang glanced at this extraordinary woman and said irritably, "With my current abilities, I can't help you anymore. Perhaps you should ask those palace concubines; they have experience in winning favor and might be able to give you the answers you seek."

"I'm not asking about that."

Su Jingyi slightly turned her face and hesitated before saying, "This... This is something only you can help me with because you can relate to it the most."

"What exactly is it?" Mu Qingshuang suddenly became interested and asked curiously.

"This..."

"I... I..." Su Jingyi bit her lower lip lightly, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks. She asked timidly, "His chest is especially strong and robust, and his words are so sweet. When I lean against his chest and listen to his sweet words, I can't control the impulses in my heart. Qingshuang, what should I do?"

For a moment, the reserved widow was completely taken aback.

"Su Jingyi!"

"I don't even have a man, and you ask me this question. What are you trying to imply?" Mu Qingshuang glared at her with wide-open eyes, infuriated.

Su Jingyi curled her lips, a hint of shallow satisfaction flickering in her eyes.

I wanted to annoy you!

Who gave you the right to keep calling me a cold, stubborn old woman?
