Chapter 310 The Woman in Purple Under the Pavilion
After hearing this, Leng Shuang got up and pushed open the stone door.
Then they saw an older woman sitting cross-legged on a chair inside the stone chamber.
The woman was dressed in purple, with her hair piled high in a bun, and her face was lightly made up. She looked to be about forty years old.
But beneath that exquisite figure lies a unique charm.
If Chu Chen were here right now, he would be speechless with surprise.
Because around her were piles of those emerald green jade stones.
"Auntie, how's the research on this jade going?"
Leng Shuang looked at the woman in purple sitting on the chair and said.
"It should be soon. Last night during my cultivation, I could already feel the energy overflowing from this stone, but I still couldn't absorb it into my body."
"Congratulations, Aunt! Once you've mastered your divine skills and broken through to the tenth-grade Grandmaster level, you'll lead us straight to the capital of Great Xia and take that old thief's head!"
"Hehe, I've been keeping you out and about for so long, you must be tired. How's it going out there?"
“Leng Shuang is not bitter. Dragon City has been stabilized. As instructed by my aunt, we will not expand for the time being. So, for now, I am just collecting these stones for my aunt. There is nothing else important.”
"Oh, how's the collection going?"
"Not ideal. We've been to all the mines in Kazakhstan. We sent people to Wu Tuo a while ago, but they were intercepted halfway. Moreover, all two hundred rank seven experts we painstakingly trained were wiped out."
Leng Shuang learned of the theft of the jade essence on the day the large ship returned.
However, the Ghost Face Army he had raised was still in its infancy, and Wu Tuo was a vassal state of the Great Xia.
Therefore, they only sent a few people to Wu Tuo to investigate secretly.
"It's alright. This world is not as simple as you and I imagine. There are experts everywhere. Be careful in your actions in the future."
When the woman in purple heard that all two hundred seventh-rank experts had been wiped out, a hint of heartache flashed across her face.
However, she quickly regained her indifferent expression.
Then she took out a few small medicine bottles from behind her: "This is all that I have left. It's enough to train about fifty more seventh-grade experts. Take these. These things are just external items. The most important thing is your own cultivation level. You should focus on your cultivation."
"Thank you, Aunt Leng Shuang!"
Leng Shuang stepped forward and took the small medicine bottles, a look of joy spreading across her face.
This is a rare and highly sought-after item; it can rapidly enhance a person's strength.
But everything has its good and its bad; those who are rapidly promoted usually do not live past forty.
Everyone knows the functions mentioned earlier, but only the woman in purple knew that she wouldn't live past forty.
Even Leng Shuang, who was closest to her, did not understand the reason behind this.
In the end, this Cold Frost was just a knife she had raised.
Therefore, these things can only be used by those around me; I would never dare to touch them myself.
"Alright, take your things and leave!"
Upon seeing this, Leng Shuang stood up and was about to bow and leave.
At that moment, the woman in purple seemed to suddenly remember something and asked sharply, "I just heard what sounded like a man's voice up there. What's going on?"
Leng Shuang shuddered upon hearing this. It seemed that nothing could be hidden from her aunt. She had thought that Leng Shuang was deep in the tunnel and unaware of what was happening above, but she had still managed to overhear it.
So he quickly knelt down and said!
“Aunt...Aunt, I recently met a very interesting person. He is an excellent cook and handsome. Most importantly, he has no cultivation at all. Leng Shuang likes him, so she took the liberty of letting him stay at the City Lord's Mansion.”
As soon as Leng Shuang finished speaking, the woman in purple's eyes lit up instantly, but she immediately returned to her indifferent demeanor.
This woman in purple is highly skilled and ruthless.
In fact, her three greatest hobbies in this life were: cultivation, killing, and keeping male concubines!
Leng Shuang was raised by her aunt from a young age, and in her heart, the woman in purple in front of her was her biological mother.
Therefore, as the "daughter," she would have no secrets from her "mother."
"Oh, a Kazakh?"
“No, people of Great Xia!” Cold Frost replied.
"Hmph, Cold Frost, do you know what you're doing?"
"Leng Shuang knows that her aunt has a deep-seated hatred for the Great Xia Dynasty, but Leng Shuang still can't help it..."
Upon seeing the woman in purple lose her temper, Leng Shuang immediately lowered her head deeply, like a startled chick.
"Alright, let's leave it at that. Bring this person here tomorrow, and your aunt will help you put an end to this filthy thought!"
Upon hearing this, Leng Shuang couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. Chu Chen, the man who seemed to have stirred her heart.
She grew up with her aunt and had never seen many men, nor had she ever seen her aunt interact with any men.
After her journey to Daxia, she was also required by her aunt to act as a man and wear a mask.
Even after becoming the city lord of Dragon City, she never showed her true face to anyone.
Only Chu Chen made me inexplicably take off my mask.
She didn't know what this feeling was like, but every time she recalled the two days she spent with Chu Chen at the barbecue restaurant...
She couldn't help but reminisce about this man; he had made her feel relaxed like never before.
However, this person, whom she had only met for a few days, was about to be destroyed by her aunt!
Men have entered this tunnel before.
But all of them were people who tried to get close to this frost, but once they entered this place, they never came out again!
Leng Shuang wanted to resist, but seeing the cold look in her aunt's eyes and the disappointed expression on her face, she immediately swallowed her words.
"Understood, Aunt. Leng Shuang will bring this person here tomorrow!"
"Alright, Auntie isn't forbidding you from liking what you desire, but you must remember, the men of Great Xia are all devils!"
"They will ruin your life. Go, and remember to bring it with you tomorrow!"
Leng Shuang bowed to the man in purple and walked out of the tunnel!
After Leng Shuang left, a barely perceptible smile appeared on the purple-clad woman's lips as she murmured to herself.
"Born handsome, yet without any cultivation, haha, it's been a long time since I've had a taste of something new."
"Sure enough, this girl has grown up. But if I let you get the man you like, wouldn't all my efforts over the years have been in vain!"
After saying that, she sat cross-legged on the chair and closed her eyes.
After Leng Shuang went up, she sat blankly in front of the guqin, looking at the colorful lake outside.
She was torn between letting Chu Chen leave, but suddenly, another voice seemed to ring in her ears.
“You were born to be the enemy of the Great Xia, how could you possibly like a man from the Great Xia?”
"You've forgotten how your aunt raised you with great care and hardship, improved your strength, and made you the city lord of Dragon City."
"Your mission is to assist your aunt in achieving great mastery of divine skills, not to indulge in personal feelings!"
In an instant, as if she had made up her mind, Leng Shuang placed her hands on the guqin and began to play.
