After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 286 Huanjun Mingzhu Sheds Tears

Chapter 286: Tears of the Bright Pearl

Cai Yu, this bird, is truly fearless. Even Zhang Chi was startled by it.

Can I really hear what they're saying?

Zhang Chi was completely stunned. Miao Yin and Long Yan's smiles froze on their faces. The four fierce pairs of eyes were all locked onto Cai Yu, seemingly contemplating how to pluck all its feathers.

After all, Cai Yu is Zhang Chi's companion. Killing it is definitely not an option.

Otherwise, roasting the descendant of a phoenix would be quite cool.

Miao Yin caught a glimpse of Zhang Chi from the corner of her eye. Her fierceness softened slightly, and she put on a sweet smile as she asked Zhang Chi, "What do you think of what Cai Yu just said?"

Hiss!

Miao Yin's smiling appearance was truly terrifying. On the surface, she looked gentle, but Zhang Chi thought to himself that if he didn't answer well, these two would probably pluck all his feathers as well.

"Cai Yu is talking nonsense. Don't be angry. In my eyes, both of you are beautiful and talented women. Cultivators have long lifespans, and if we calculate according to the lifespan of ordinary people, you are both only in your teens or twenties, which is just right for me."

You can still come up with such a smooth response?

Gu Youyou was quite impressed. She had originally wanted to see Zhang Chi being dealt with, but unfortunately, this guy was too cunning.

Hearing Zhang Chi say that they were a good match, Long Yan's face immediately blushed.

Although they were already a couple, Zhang Chi's straightforward words still made Long Yan feel a bit shy.

Miao Yin took advantage of the situation and climbed up the pole. She sweetly smiled and said, "So you think we're a good match. I thought you would find me too old and not want to accept me!"

Damn fox spirit!

Long Yan's gaze became sharp as she stared at Miao Yin.

This woman is too cunning!

Zhang Chi clearly didn't accept her because of other reasons, but after she said that, it became as if he was rejecting her because of her age.

Moreover, Zhang Chi clearly didn't accept her just now!

This woman, he really couldn't let his guard down around her.

Faced with Miao Yin's aggressive attack, Zhang Chi glanced at Long Yan and gave her a meaningful look.

Only then did Long Yan remember that Zhang Chi had previously said that he wanted to settle things with Miao Yin, but Miao Yin had been avoiding Zhang Chi all this time, so he hadn't found a chance to be alone with her.

Since they happened to meet today, Long Yan also understood Zhang Chi's intentions.

Let them be alone together, it could also be considered giving Miao Yin some face.

"This bird needs to be dealt with. I'll take it away first. You can chat slowly."

Saying that, Long Yan grabbed Cai Yu and turned to leave.

Cai Yu struggled violently.

"I don't want to leave. I want to watch the show!"

It felt that if it left, Long Yan would definitely torment it. Forget about watching the show, even self-preservation would be a problem.

"It's not up to you!"

Long Yan forcefully suppressed Cai Yu. After all, Cai Yu's strength was a bit weaker, and it had no ability to resist in Long Yan's hands.

As she watched Long Yan take Cai Yu away, Miao Yin panicked. She had only wanted to take advantage of the situation verbally, but now that she saw the situation, things seemed a bit unfavorable.

"I suddenly remembered that I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

Miao Yin wanted to escape, but Zhang Chi wouldn't give her the chance.

She couldn't escape.

"Wait for me to finish speaking before you leave, okay?"

"No, the matter I need to handle is very important."

Miao Yin had eavesdropped on Zhang Chi and Long Yan's conversation, so how could she not know what Zhang Chi wanted to do?

Her heart felt sour, but she didn't want to be eliminated so quickly. Even if it wasn't very dignified, she still wanted to cling on, as long as Zhang Chi didn't explicitly tell her not to approach him, she could still stick around shamelessly.

"Sister, running away won't help. I'll still say it when we meet next time."

Miao Yin: "..."

If Zhang Chi meets her and wants to make a statement, then what's the point of her staying?

Miao Yin felt deeply wronged, her heart was suffocating, and tears began to well up in her eyes.

As a two-hundred-year-old girl, she couldn't control the sadness in her heart.

"Do you have to be so heartless? Why don't you give me a chance?

I never intended to monopolize you, so why can't she accept me?"

Miao Yin gritted her teeth in secret. Long Yan, this woman, was selfish and petty, definitely not a good match for Zhang Chi.

She just took advantage of the situation and provided some insignificant support when Zhang Chi needed help the most. It was only because Zhang Chi was emotionally attached, otherwise how could she have such a hold on him?

Miao Yin's heart was filled with resentment towards bad women, but she appeared pitiful on the surface.

Such a beautiful woman, who could bear to let her down?

But Zhang Chi had no choice. Cultivators were proud in their hearts, and having multiple wives was only possible in the mortal world. Moreover, men didn't have multiple wives, but multiple concubines.

No one would be willing to share their loved ones with others, and this applied to both men and women.

It's just that in the mortal world, women needed to rely on men and had to compromise, while in the world of cultivators, both Long Yan and Miao Yin were precious women of heaven. How could they easily let Zhang Chi enjoy the company of both?

If Zhang Chi dared to ask for everything, the result would definitely be getting nothing at all.

If he wanted everything, he could only pretend to not want anything.

Of course, it couldn't be genuine rejection. If the refusal was too heartless, then it would truly be rejected.

Zhang Chi looked at Miao Yin, feeling reluctant in his heart as well.

But a small mercy would lead to a big disaster. If he wanted everything, he could only make Miao Yin sad for a while.

"You heartless man!"

Gu Youyou couldn't help but curse. Mainly because she thought about how she needed Zhang Chi's help and had even agreed to become Dao companions with him.

Although she didn't take it too seriously, being Dao companions was still being Dao companions!

Zhang Chi's bad intentions were really not hidden from her!

Zhang Chi ignored Gu Youyou. With a look of reluctance, he looked at Miao Yin, wanting to say something but hesitating. In the end, he just let out a long sigh.

He turned around and looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle.

This small gesture greatly encouraged Miao Yin.

Zhang Chi must have her in his heart. If not, Zhang Chi wouldn't be so tormented.

Miao Yin didn't ask for much, nor did she want to make things difficult for Zhang Chi.

As long as she knew that at this moment, Zhang Chi's reluctance was also his tenderness towards her, she would be satisfied.

"I heard a poem in the mortal world, do you want me to recite it to you?"

Zhang Chi didn't answer Miao Yin's question. Instead, he wanted to recite a poem. Miao Yin didn't understand why, but she still responded, "Sure, recite it, I'll listen."

"This poem is called 'The Lament of a Virtuous Wife.'

You know that I have a husband, yet you gave me a pair of bright pearls. I feel your lingering affection, tied to my red silk robe.

My family's tall building and garden rise together, my husband holds a bright spear in the light. I know your intentions are as constant as the sun and moon, and we vow to share life and death like a couple.

Tears fall from my bright pearls, regretting not meeting before I was married."

"Tears fall from my bright pearls, regretting not meeting before I was married... Is this your intention?"

A hot tear slid down Miao Yin's eyes, but she didn't feel heartbroken. Instead, she felt a bit joyful.

"My intention doesn't matter."

"No, it does matter, at least it matters to me."

Miao Yin wiped away the moisture from the corner of her eyes and suddenly hugged Zhang Chi from behind.

"You..."

"Just once, tomorrow I won't bother you anymore."

Hearing her say this, Zhang Chi stopped struggling.

The two remained silent, with a hint of affection flowing between them.

Meanwhile, not far away, Long Yan plucked a feather from Cai Yu with her bare hands...

PS: Today, I'll challenge myself with five updates. This is the first update.
