I Only Marry Widows-Chapter 264 - 21: For You, Xiang Qingchi, I Am Willing

"It’s good that you can understand me, Qingchi." Lu Chengfeng’s words were filled with deep emotion and helplessness, "If I were just myself, I would be willing to give everything for you, but I am still the Sect Leader of the Yuncang Sword Sect, and I must live up to the expectations of our sect’s ancestors."

"To express my apologies to my mother, I am willing to give up the entire Yun Cang Mountain range and withdraw from Liangzhou, hoping only to spare the lives of those disciples."

"After all, they are innocent."

"And I, Lu Chengfeng, am at your disposal, how does that sound?"

If there were bystanders witnessing what was happening in front of the Yuncang Sect Gate, they would probably find it incredibly peculiar, as it was clearly two mortal enemies, with irreconcilable enmity.

Yet in the blink of an eye, the scene changed, as if they were star-crossed lovers pouring out their hearts to each other.

However, this is the uncanny and domineering aspect of the Love Token Divine Technique, invisible and formless, yet it permeates to the bone, drawing people into it unconsciously and making it difficult to escape.

Upon hearing Lu Chengfeng’s words, Xiang Qingchi’s expression suddenly turned extremely pained, as if she were trapped in some sort of intense struggle and conflict.

After just a few breaths, a complex Dharma Seal woven from purple light appeared in the center of her forehead, emitting a palpitating aura, as if it were a seal.

A thin layer of cold sweat unknowingly appeared on Xiang Qingchi’s flawless forehead, and the golden whip that had been floating in front of Lu Chengfeng’s forehead recoiled and was tightly gripped in her hand.

Lu Chengfeng, not far from her, saw the purple light appearing on her forehead and was instantly struck with terror.

This power might be unfamiliar to others, but he had experienced it many times through the memories of Chu Xiangtian.

"Yi Hongchen, it really is her."

"Xiang Qingchi was taken away by her back then."

"At that time, Chu Xiangtian disguised himself as ’Xiang Yuan,’ and together with that dancer, now the Princess Consort, they had Xiang Qingchi."

"When Xiang Qingchi was born, Chu Xiangtian hadn’t yet fallen, he was just severely injured. If he didn’t reincarnate, there would be major problems."

"He personally entrusted Xiang Qingchi to Yi Hongchen to raise, only then did he use the Divine Secret Technique to reincarnate."

Memories from gifts replayed in Lu Chengfeng’s mind, "The influence of the Love Token Divine Technique on the human heart is just too terrifying. A Female Immortal like Yi Hongchen willingly raised the child of her lover and another woman."

"However, there are various reasons, one being that Xiang Qingchi is the reincarnation of a True Dragon, and ultimately according to their plans, she is to be killed and refined into the Map of Mountains and Rivers."

"Moreover, on the night Xiang Qingchi was born, Chu Xiangtian revealed all his plans to Yi Hongchen and promised her that she would be his only Empress, his sole favorite."

"Under the influence of the Love Token Divine Technique, Yi Hongchen surprisingly agreed to it and decided to fulfill all his schemes for her lover."

As Lu Chengfeng was lost in thought, Xiang Qingchi’s face turned slightly pale, her eyes turned pure blue, and the purple light seal on her forehead faintly transformed into a Treasure Pagoda.

"Alright, I... agree... with you!"

Xiang Qingchi said these words with utmost struggle, one word at a time.

After she finished speaking, her entire body shook, as if all her strength had been drained.

At the same time, the purple light on her forehead vanished instantly.

"Qingchi, are you alright?"

Lu Chengfeng quickly rushed to her side, grabbing her hand, but with a bang, the Power of Wind and Thunder naturally arose from Xiang Qingchi’s palm, blasting his body back three zhang.

"Don’t touch me, otherwise you’ll get hurt." As the purple light seal on her forehead disappeared, Xiang Qingchi gradually returned to normal.

Lu Chengfeng was slightly stunned, then he realized it was probably some protective magic or Magical Treasure. Without delving into it, he eagerly asked, "What just happened? Why were you like that? Are you alright?"

Although Xiang Qingchi’s face was slightly pale, she had a faint smile at the corners of her mouth and shook her head, "I’m fine. I came down the mountain under my master’s orders, and now that I’ve disobeyed those orders, I’ll naturally be punished."

"But it’s alright, my master is very fond of me."

Lu Chengfeng had an expression of "it’s all my fault," but inwardly he couldn’t help but think, "Yes, your master is really fond of you, just waiting to raise you and then skin you and refine you into the Map of Mountains and Rivers."

"But why did Chu Xiangtian go through so much trouble to use the last Love Token Divine Technique on Xiang Qingchi?"

"The Love Token Divine Technique can only be used three times in total, the first time on Yi Hongchen, the last on Xiang Qingchi, but who was the second time used on?"

Xiang Qingchi, unaware of what the man in front of her was thinking, showed a bright smile, "Since I agreed with you, I’ll definitely do it, but I can only give you eight hours."

She looked up at the sky, "If these people are not withdrawn within eight hours, there’s only death."

Lu Chengfeng’s heart leapt, knowing that Xiang Qingchi’s words meant the Yuncang Sword Sect’s disaster would come tomorrow, and tomorrow was the second day of the second lunar month.

If it weren’t for him taking the risk to try, if it weren’t for the Love Token Divine Technique, everyone except him and Zhu Yuxian would probably be doomed.

"Alright, I’ll arrange for everyone to evacuate right now."
