Bai Shuangya reached out to wipe the blood from Su Chi's mouth, her face icy: "Did you do this to my husband?"
"So what if I did? And what if I didn't?"
"If you did, then you should die!" Bai Shuangya unleashed a flurry of silver threads that spread widely. Qi Mo narrowly dodged, but Qi Rong was not so lucky. However, he used Su Chi's body to block the silver threads, only to see the spots on Su Chi's face where the threads had touched rapidly decay, turning his originally handsome features into a grotesque mask.
Seeing his son transformed like that, Su Chi's eyes turned red as he shouted, "Kill them all, kill them all!"
"Poisonous Woman truly is a Poisonous Woman, full of poison. I wonder if your husband knows your true nature?" Qi Mo slowly drew the Yishuihan from his waist.
"Whether he knows or not is none of your business!" The thing she hated most in this life was when others mentioned her appearance. Using Bai Shuangya's face was merely because he liked it. Since he liked it, she could live her life with this face. Other matters were not open for discussion!
With no common ground for conversation, the two began to fight. Meanwhile, Su Chi sat on the ground, clutching his wound as he looked at his son whose appearance had been ruined and then at Bai Shuangya still engaged in battle; his gaze had grown somewhat strange.
Qi Mo's martial arts were unfathomable; Bai Shuangya had already realized this when they sparred. She hadn't expected that today's youth would be capable of such feats.
"Child, I didn't expect your skills to be quite good."
Qi Mo evaded her poisonous web with a light laugh: "Not as good as Poisonous Woman."
"I used to prefer talented young juniors, but I didn't expect you to block my path. That's quite unfortunate!" With both sleeves spread wide, a swarm of black spiders crawled out and began to grow larger, spinning webs around Qi Mo.
This scene was something Su Chi had never witnessed before. So when the spiders emerged, he instinctively took a step back, causing Bai Shuangya's pupils to constrict in pain.
So he really is afraid?
Qi Mo took advantage of Bai Shuangya's moment of distraction and stabbed her shoulder with a sword, causing her to fall from the air and land beside Su Chi.
Su Chi could have easily caught her, but at the last moment, he retracted his hand and let her fall to the ground.
Bai Shuangya clutched her chest wound, looking at Su Chi in disbelief, then a bitter smile formed on her lips: "My lord... are you afraid I will poison you?"
Su Chi remained silent.
Bai Shuangya closed her eyes and opened them again: "Please take good care of our daughter. This is the only thing I ask of you in this life." She stood up and pressed on the acupoints on her body.
Su Chi was taken aback for a moment, then spoke: "...Are you Yar?" When did his Bai Shuangya become a woman who could spit out spiders? He had always known she could perform martial arts, and when people from the martial world came to ask her for the Martial Arts Token, he had already begun to doubt. How could the daughter of a Scholarly Family be involved with the martial world? But the situation was urgent, leaving him no time to think.
Now she was throwing spider silk and spiders from her sleeves, leaving him no choice but to consider it.
A subordinate entered from outside and whispered something in Qi Mo's ear. Qi Mo sheathed his sword: "The people from the Chancellor have all been suppressed. Please do not struggle in vain any longer. Additionally, regarding the people from the Prime Minister's Residence, This King will send someone to collect them all into the dungeons for questioning."
Su Chi looked pale: "Is that so? Did we fail?" He laughed: "I should have known; this operation was bound to fail."
"My lord..." Bai Shuangya crouched down again, wanting to comfort him, but remembering his fearful gaze just now, her hand froze in place.
Su Chi, however, turned around with a deep gaze; "Are you Bai Shuangya of the Bai family?"
Bai Shuangya, or perhaps at this moment should be called Poisonous Woman, paused for a moment, then her expression turned sorrowful: "Does it matter whether I am or not? I have accompanied you for over ten years, even given birth to a child. Is being Bai Shuangya of the Bai family really that important?"
"Who are you?"
"I am your wife! Your legally married wife!!" The Poisonous Woman sat on the ground in despair. "I accompanied you in rebellion, I risked my life for you, and yet at this critical moment, you ask me if I am Bai Shuangya... Don't you think you're being a bit hurtful right now?"
"You are not Bai Shuangya, who exactly are you?" All he wanted to know was whether her identity was Bai Shuangya.
The Poisonous Woman felt as if her heart was being cut by a dull iron knife: "...What does Bai Shuangya mean to you?" The one who has always been by your side is me, the Poisonous Woman, isn't it?
She retracted her sorrowful expression and became indifferent: "Bai Shuangya is already dead."
"How did she die?" Su Chi suddenly grabbed her collar; how did his childhood sweetheart die?
The Poisonous Woman looked at the man with red eyes questioning her with a ridiculous expression: "I killed her, so what?"
"I want to kill you!! I want to kill you to avenge Bai Shuangya!!" In the midst of his words, it was unknown where Su Chi got the dagger from, but it instantly plunged into the heart of the Poisonous Woman, going in several inches more in her incredulous gaze.
"...You actually wish for my death?" The Poisonous Woman widened her eyes: "I married you and accompanied you for over ten years, and yet you wish for my death!"
"You killed Bai Shuangya!" Su Chi pressed his hands on the dagger.
The Poisonous Woman laughed, a self-mocking smile that nearly burned Su Chi's eyes.
This is the person she loved recklessly... She didn't die at the hands of martial artists; she risked her life to enter the palace to save him, fought against the Desolate King to protect him... only to be stabbed in the chest by him with a dagger.
Is there anything more ridiculous in this world?
"...Let me tell you, Su Chi, I, the Poisonous Woman, have done many wrong things in this life and have never regretted them. But now, I regret it. I regret agreeing to Bai Shuangya's request to enter the bridal sedan chair for her, and I regret marrying you, this heartless man!!" She suddenly pushed Su Chi away with one hand, covering the handle of the dagger herself, feeling the intense pain from her heart as life flowed away so quickly.
“...You, what are you? Bai Shuangya doesn't want to marry me?” Su Chi spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, staring wide-eyed at the Poisonous Woman. How could this be true? The woman he had devoted his life to protecting actually did not want to marry him.
“Who do you think you are? Bai Shuangya eloped with her lover long before marrying you. If it weren't for her kindness towards me, would I agree to marry you? But I never expected that I would actually fall in love with you... This is simply a mockery of me, the Poisonous Woman...” The Poisonous Woman leaned weakly against a pillar in the hall, while Qi Mo stood silently by, unable to discern his expression.
This was a farce... a farce involving three people. The Poisonous Woman and Su Chi were both victims of fate, while Bai Shuangya was the one who helped fate toy with them, even though she too was being played with by fate.
“Clap! Clap! Clap!” Three loud claps echoed as a slender man walked into the hall, a smile appearing on his flat face: “What a wonderful show. As the Master of the Building, observing the signs tonight, it is clear that Yuan Cang's downfall begins at the Prime Minister's Residence; indeed, it is no mistake. Tonight, Chang'an is truly bustling.”
Qi Rong frowned as he watched the man enter and then spoke up: “Why is the Master of the Building here?”
Su Peijiu shrugged, his gaze sweeping over the two disheartened individuals on the ground and another man whose face was ruined: “Just enjoying the show; such a good performance would be a pity to miss.”
From the moment the man entered, Qi Mo already knew it was Su Peijiu, so his gaze never left him. He hadn't expected that since their parting that night, they hadn't seen each other for many days. She seemed even thinner than before—damn! Was she not taking care of herself? Still flirting with the Crown Prince!
“The Master of the Building from Nan Xie Tower... I didn't expect such honor in the palace to welcome the Master of the Building from Nan Xie Tower.” Qi Mo said with a forced smile.
Su Peijiu glanced at him dismissively: “What does it have to do with you?” A ripple flashed through Qi Mo's dark eyes before disappearing.
Upon hearing that someone from Nan Xie Tower was present, the Poisonous Woman's face grew even paler. She turned to Su Peijiu: “You are the Master of the Building from Nan Xie Tower?”
“Does the Poisonous Woman have any questions?” Su Peijiu stepped forward with a smile, his hands open: “I ask that the Poisonous Woman return what belongs to us.”
“...You, you...” Fear flickered in the Poisonous Woman's eyes as she stepped back: “Don't come any closer.”
“Poisonous Woman, that's not right. You stole our Thousand-Year Blood Spider from Nan Xie Tower over forty years ago; is it wrong for it to be returned now?”
"Don't come over here! Thousand-Year Blood Spider I will never give it back to you!! Absolutely not!" Poisonous Woman knew that once the Blood Spider was taken away, she would become a mass of conscious flesh and blood. How could she possibly appear in front of Su Chi in such an ugly state?
Su Peijiu withdrew his hand, his gaze indifferent; "It would be best for Poisonous Woman to hand it over while this Master of the Building is still speaking nicely. Otherwise, this Master of the Building will expose all the dirty deeds you've done over the years! Let Su Mengyun know what kind of person her mother really is!"
Poisonous Woman glanced at Su Chi, only to see him sitting there with a dazed expression, his heart like ashes.
"Please... don't tell Yun'er." How could she let her child know about her affairs? She then turned her gaze to the Crown Prince: "Your Highness, please save Yun'er, she is your fiancée, please save her." Qi Rong frowned and ignored her.
"Tsk tsk... Poisonous Woman, you look just like Princess Jun Jun Liuji, whom you caused to die back in the day." Su Peijiu seemed to tease with this remark, but it jolted Su Chi awake.
"You mean... Liu Ji was also killed by this Poisonous Woman!?" Jun Liuji was the woman he had been infatuated with all his life; after all, she was so beautiful. Even though she did not adhere to traditional morals, he remained captivated.
Hearing Su Chi mention Poisonous Woman, Poisonous Woman lost all color in her lips. She looked at Su Chi as if he were a stranger, her voice choked and hoarse: "...You think I am Poisonous Woman? You actually think I am Poisonous Woman!"
"Otherwise, the death of Jun Liuji was orchestrated by the two ladies of your Prime Minister's Residence. Poisonous Woman was merely the one who fanned the flames." Su Peijiu interjected. The delight in his eyes did not escape Qi Mo, but she didn't care at all.
This grudge has a source and debts have a master; everyone from the Su Family who owes her and Su Peijiu must repay it one by one, leaving not a single thing behind!
