I Only Marry Widows-Chapter 336 - 51: Give It to Me Now!

Qi Zhiyuan sighed and handed her a red string.

Chu Zhihe eagerly accepted it, "This is it, the Matchmaker’s Rope, the magic you created based on the myth of the Matchmaker and the Bright Moon Temple, is truly endlessly useful."

"With this, I have full confidence to provoke that brat Yi Wushuang into making a move on Song Yue, and when the time comes, even if he accidentally gets crippled, it’s only right, and no one can say anything."

Qi Zhiyuan was not as optimistic as she was, but he knew he couldn’t stop this mother who was determined to eliminate her son’s rival, so he could only advise, "Junior Sister, it’s best not to use this thing if you can avoid it."

"Once a spell is cast, it inevitably leaves traces. With Yi Mingshu’s means, he might discover it, and it might backfire."

"Senior Brother, I understand." Yet Chu Zhihe didn’t take his words to heart at all, merely perfunctorily agreeing, then turned her waist, and the wide purple robe fluttered before she quickly vanished.

...

Lu Chengfeng naturally didn’t know someone was plotting against him in the shadows, but he was well aware of the undercurrents that could be stirred by the Tao Vein, as power struggles existed within the Yuncang Sword Sect.

The Celestial Law-Controlling Sect, such an ancient large sect, could not be without power struggles.

As the son of the Sect Leader, Yi Mingshu sending him to the Tao Vein for cultivation was bound to cause waves, which was something foreseeable.

His reason for wanting to directly buy a position as a True Disciple was to avoid numerous conspiracies and spend all his time on cultivation.

"The benefits of comprehending the Taoist Scripture are not just in practicing Bright Moonlight. Although I’ve only just mastered one hundred and seven volumes of the Tao Scripture, I can already feel a deeper understanding of heaven, earth, law, and martial arts."

"The most direct benefit is that my comprehension has increased, and when comprehending magic and the laws of heaven and earth, it is slightly faster."

"Then, if one masters thirty-seven thousand nine hundred and eighty-six volumes of the Tao Scripture? To what extent can one’s comprehension improve?"

Lu Chengfeng couldn’t help but marvel at the profound heritage of such an ancient sect; the Mountain and River Map’s inheritance had already astonished him, especially the mysterious and unfathomable Path of the Void.

However, the Tao Vein’s inheritance is almost completely distinct from the Martial Path’s lineage; although they ultimately converge at the Celestial Human Realm, this different path of cultivation undoubtedly requires a deep understanding of the Great Tao to be comprehended.

Lu Chengfeng stepped out of the Scripture Tower without lingering outside and directly returned to the Brocade Palace by his jade chariot.

However, when he pushed open Du Mengyan’s room door, he immediately sensed that something was slightly off in the room’s atmosphere. With just a glance, he instinctively wanted to withdraw.

But it was too late, as a petite figure had already leaped onto him, wrapping her legs tightly around his waist, embracing his neck with her arms, "Brother Wushuang, you finally returned, I missed you so much!"

No one else could act so boldly except Yi Huanhuan.

Lu Chengfeng couldn’t do anything about her, so he could only support her bottom and said with some annoyance, "You, such a big girl now, still acting like this every time, aren’t you afraid others will laugh?"

"Sniff, sniff, Brother Wushuang, you’re scolding me." Yi Huanhuan’s big eyes immediately welled up with tears, looking at him as if aggrieved by the world, but before Lu Chengfeng could react, the girl suddenly laughed.

"But I still like this Brother Wushuang, you’re so manly when you scold me."

As she spoke, she smacked a kiss on Lu Chengfeng’s cheek, then turned around and made a face at the other two women in the room.

Lu Chengfeng couldn’t deal with her antics and had to turn to the new guest in the room: "Huanhuan is still young and always so childish, Senior Sister Hou, please don’t take offense."

At the table in the room sat a young woman in an apricot-yellow Taoist robe, her expression cold and unapproachable, with not a hint of a smile, her robe immaculate.

"I’m not small, you can feel it if you don’t believe me!" Before Hou Songyue could speak, Yi Huanhuan couldn’t help but shout.

He almost made a fool of himself, the agitation in his heart increasing, he gritted his teeth and scolded, "Yi Huanhuan, don’t play with fire with me, or don’t blame me for disciplining you."

Hou Songyue, from start to finish, ignored Yi Huanhuan and simply said to Lu Chengfeng, "There’s no need for such pleasantries between us, let’s be direct!"

"I need to use your identity to help me break off a family marriage, so I need your Tao Companion’s identity, though it’s only nominally. You and I will not interfere in each other’s affairs."

"Whatever you want to do in the future, I won’t intervene, and the same goes for you, you can’t meddle in my affairs."

"Between us, it’s just a transaction."

"If you agree, the position of True Disciple is yours."

Lu Chengfeng smiled and said, "Senior Sister Hou simply wants to escape a family marriage. I can help you solve this directly, so why insist on a nominal Tao Companion?"

Hou Songyue interrupted him rudely, "Even if you help me this time, the family will find ways to arrange it again next time. Do you think Hou Songyue is unworthy of a wayward man like you?"

"If it weren’t for family pressure, do you think I would want any association with someone like you?"

"Don’t think just because those women in the sect who lack propriety and covet wealth flatter you, that I, Hou Songyue, would behave the same."

"Enough nonsense, if you agree, then register with me at the sect. If not, then forget it."

Lu Chengfeng watched her get up to leave, a playful smile on his face, never intending to stop her.

Yet at that moment, the primordial spirit within the Hidden Dragon Cave Heaven suddenly began to burn intensely. His eyes slowly opened as if peering through the cave heaven, looking into some unknown place.

"Someone dares to plot against me?"

...

Just in a palace not far from the Brocade Palace, Chu Zhihe was performing a ritual. She used the red string obtained from Qi Zhiyuan to bind the hands of two puppets together.

The two puppets, one male and one female, were both in wedding attire. The woman wore a phoenix crown and brocade, while the man wore a golden crown and jade belt. Behind them, a piece of yellow paper was affixed, inscribed with their birth dates and times.

These two puppets were enshrined on an incense table, which was completely covered with talisman paper, giving it a very eerie look.

Chu Zhihe held a love knot woven from a man’s and woman’s hair in her left hand, while in her right hand, she held a copper bell. Her hair was disheveled, her mouth chanting incantations, and she performed the Celestial Gang Spirit Fighting Fiend Step with increasing speed.

In just over a dozen breaths, her entire being had turned into a phantom, until the love knot in her left hand began to burn.

"Go!"

With a flick of her left hand, the burning love knot landed onto the two puppets, and in a blink, it too began to burn with them.

As the love knot and puppets were completely reduced to ashes, only the segment of red string remained on the table. Suddenly, the red string emitted a red light, sweeping up the slightly blackened ashes, then vanishing instantly and extending through the void.

"Ignorant fool!"

Lu Chengfeng’s true form was seated atop Yellow Dragon Peak, witnessing a segment of red string crossing the void. With just a thought, the Great Five Elements Extinction Sword Array within the Hidden Dragon Cave Heaven was activated.

Dazzling sword light soared skyward, directly shattering the red string into pieces.

Pfft!

In the midst of the ritual, Chu Zhihe suddenly spat a mouthful of crimson blood, her complexion drastically changing, "Not good."

But before she could finish speaking, a broken segment of the red string fell directly from the void into her right shoulder, then bored into her brow, completely intertwining with her primordial spirit.

Chu Zhihe felt as if her internal organs were burning, the spell having been broken, causing her to suffer a terrifying backlash, leaving her severely injured.

But more terrifying was an uncontrollable mad desire and love kindling within her, a young, handsome face appearing in her mind.

"I want you, so much, so much..."

"Give it to me!!!"

That face was not ’Yi Wushuang,’ but Lu Chengfeng.

Chu Zhihe seemed bewitched, tormented by the flame in her heart, she quickly sat cross-legged, her primordial spirit transforming into a bright moon, shedding cold moonlight as she exerted full effort to suppress it.
