I Only Marry Widows-Chapter 225 - 3: Impersonating King Xiang

"In that case, if the Red Dragon wants to retrieve the dragon body, let him have it."

"But the Cyan Dragon is a problem!"

Lu Chengfeng’s eyes glinted darkly, he knew well that he was now standing in the center of a massive vortex, where several immortals were vying, and two true dragons harbored malice towards him.

If he didn’t adapt to the circumstances, strategize, and plot, he would surely end up dead with no burial place.

"Contact the entities behind the two true dragons as soon as possible."

"Perhaps, Xiang Qingchi might be a good opportunity."

"But the premise is to survive, not get killed by her..."

As Lu Chengfeng was contemplating, he suddenly felt his memory becoming blurred, as if he had forgotten something.

"Why am I standing here? Wasn’t I supposed to assassinate Yan Tiefeng and stop the Sunset Sect from siding with King Han?"

Suddenly, he frowned, sensing that something was amiss.

He didn’t realize that memories of the old monk, White Lotus, immortals, and true dragons were all vanishing from his mind, as if nothing had ever happened.

Lu Chengfeng tried to recall for a long time, but still ended up with nothing except remembering that he had slain Yan Tiefeng with a single sword and was preparing to find a retreat to break through to Celestial Human.

"Forget it, the breakthrough to Celestial Human is most urgent now."

He touched the sword hilt hanging on his waist, feeling ambitious and excited, "Once I break through to Celestial Human, the world is vast, where can’t I roam?"

"Although Liu Wu from the south is strong, there’s no reason I can’t compete with him."

"Time is pressing, I can’t delay any longer."

"Yan Tiefeng is dead, I seized one of his concubines in advance. As long as I digest the gift, another divine skill will be mine."

"These years, I have been practicing the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword and found this Immortal Scripture increasingly profound, its mysteries boundless; the more I comprehend, the smaller I feel."

He instinctively returned his consciousness to the Spirit Platform, his complexion became hazy instantly, as a faint golden flame burned within the Spirit Platform, the power belonging to the gifted talent.

"Huh?" Lu Chengfeng looked somewhat puzzled, "I haven’t married any widow recently?"

With a slight spiritual touch, all the memories that had disappeared earlier suddenly resurfaced in his mind.

Old monk, White Lotus, immortal, two true dragons...

His expression turned extremely ugly in an instant, "No wonder that old monk wasn’t afraid of me leaking information, nor worried that I would report him; turns out he had such a trick?"

"To make me unknowingly forget all memories related to him, and without any sense of discord."

"If it wasn’t for the gifted talent, I might not even know how I died."

Lu Chengfeng’s face was constantly changing; the vanished memories just now made him feel a great crisis looming.

The skills of the immortals indeed far exceeded his expectations; the opponent could manipulate his memory discreetly, which was terrifying.

"Damn it, damn it!"

His thoughts were churning tumultuously, as some of his original ideas began to transform.

"Seven days later, when Xiang Qingchi returns, if I can’t defeat her, won’t I be trusting my life to the enemy’s mercy?"

"Perhaps it’s time to do that thing. I originally didn’t want to harbor deep enmity with the Cyan Dragon, didn’t want my beautiful master to hate me to the core, but now there’s no time for such considerations."

Over the past three years, Lu Chengfeng had deployed numerous means and acquired many secrets from Xiang Princess Consort through various methods.

"King Xiang had been dead for a long time, many years ago."

"After Xiang Qingchi was born, King Xiang gained the Creation; within just a few years, he ascended to the position of Celestial Human."

"But the current Xiang Princess Consort is the type with a love-brain, unwaveringly devoted to King Xiang, yet jealous of the former Princess Consort, hence ruthless, killing the former Princess Consort and King Xiang’s two legitimate sons."

"King Xiang was closing in retreat at that time, planning to break through the Fourth Layer of Celestial Human."

"When he emerged from retreat, the Princess Consort and sons were already dead, leaving only Zhu Yuxian not yet targeted."

"The two sides immediately tore off their masks and fought fiercely, but in the end, it was King Xiang who lost."

"Xiang Princess Consort imprisoned him, serving him tenderly daily, even bore him a son in the meantime."

...

Just knowing about this distorted love affair made Lu Chengfeng feel his scalp go numb, thinking the events in the Prince’s Mansion were indescribably melodramatic.

"Xiang Princess Consort’s mental state is already somewhat chaotic; she always believes King Xiang is still alive, yet if I’m not mistaken... that King Xiang should already be dead."

"How he died, I’m not sure."

"But if King Xiang wasn’t dead, that woman wouldn’t leave Youdu, nor would she go after Zhu Yuxian."

"Furthermore, cultivating the Life and Death Law likely aims to resurrect King Xiang."

"It’s just that the woman is in denial, refusing to acknowledge her man is dead, even impersonates King Xiang, making everyone believe King Xiang is still alive."

"The most crucial point is, when exactly did King Xiang die? If it was twenty years ago, then whom has she been serving every day? What exactly has she given birth to? Whose child is it?"

Many thoughts flashed through Lu Chengfeng’s mind, "Xiang Princess Consort is powerful, but her weaknesses are too obvious, easy to deal with... it’s just the means are too despicable; I didn’t want to use them before, but now there’s no choice."

"Imitate King Xiang, and become her!"

"If she recognizes me as a husband, I might obtain King Xiang’s gift and learn many secrets."

"Also, I couldn’t obtain any memories from the previous Half-Step Celestial Human gift; I thought it was lacking memories."

"But now, close to Celestial Human, I understand it’s not a lack, but my inability to digest and absorb, not yet having condensed the Primordial Spirit, receiving Half-Step Celestial Human’s memories might even entertain irreversible consequences, potentially creating chaos in self-consciousness and Divine Soul."

"Only by condensing the Primordial Spirit can one remain unaffected by memories, then it naturally becomes possible to refine all previously received Half-Step Celestial Human’s gifted techniques."

"Previously unknown secrets will all be revealed before me..."

Lu Chengfeng took a deep breath, shielding himself from all distractions.

"I possess the gifted talent, unobstructedly might directly acquire divine techniques from the gift in the future; currently, raising power is most urgent."

"So, first break through to Celestial Human."

"Then, become her!"
