I Only Marry Widows-Chapter 452 - 80: The Pretty Boy Who Sold His Looks

She originally possessed cultivation at the Eighth Layer of the Celestial Human Realm and held the Ancient Treasure Mirror in her hand. Everything within the Sect was transparent to her eyes. Coupled with her deep scheming and methods, she established her own authority within a mere two years.

In the Dharma Form Hall, she sat cross-legged in the position previously occupied by Yi Mingshu, refining the Map of Mountains and Rivers while comprehending the Divine Power Atlas of Heaven and Earth taught by Yi Hongchen.

She wore a blue Taoist robe, her hair styled in a Taoist bun with a peach wood hairpin securing her silky hair like clouds, revealing her long and fair neck. The loose robe concealed her alluring figure.

However, as she was sitting cross-legged, the robe stretched over her waist and hips, revealing an astonishing curve that stirred one’s blood.

Having ascended to the position of Sect Leader and obtained the Divine Power Atlas, Qi Lingxi’s wish was fulfilled, making her appearance and figure even more enticing, with an added air of authority she previously lacked.

Just as she was meditating, Yi Hongchen’s cool, indifferent voice suddenly sounded in her ear, "Do not resist; I have some questions for you."

Qi Lingxi’s heart tightened, and before she could react, a beam of golden light descended from the sky, enveloping her body.

The next moment, she disappeared without a trace.

Qi Lingxi felt a brief darkness before her eyes. When she came to her senses, she found herself at the top of the Thirty-Three Layer Ten Thousand Forms Massacre, and with a quick glance, she saw two figures in front of her.

However, when she discerned the scene clearly, her expression was somewhat peculiar.

She unexpectedly saw the ancestor of her own Sect being embraced intimately by that scoundrel Lu Chengfeng, their actions too close, as if they were a pair of lovers.

Her heart felt inexplicably uncomfortable. This wretched man had once sweet-talked her, obeyed her every whim, even forcibly took her body. But now, seeing someone with greater strength and higher status, he went to court another woman...

Qi Lingxi felt as if her own sycophant had latched onto someone higher, leaving an awkward feeling.

However, outwardly, she did not show any abnormality, respectfully saluting Yi Hongchen, saying, "Lingxi pays respect to the True Monarch."

Yi Hongchen nodded slightly, "I hear from the Regent King that your mirror is quite extraordinary; could you take it out for a view?"

Qi Lingxi couldn’t help but glance at Lu Chengfeng upon hearing this, silently cursing, "Wretched man, it’s one thing for you to curry favor with her, but must you drag me into it too? Do you really want to use my treasure to please her?"

Her heart already felt uncomfortable, and upon hearing this, she became even more annoyed. Yet she dared not express it, inwardly cursing Lu Chengfeng with every bitter word before reluctantly taking out the Lingxi Ancient Mirror.

She slightly raised her left hand, and with the rise of a cyan halo, the Lingxi Ancient Mirror appeared in her palm.

The mirror was like a bright moon, its frame densely inscribed with runes, appearing to be cast of bronze. The mirror surface was continually surrounded by cyan light, making it extraordinarily mystical.

"True Monarch, this treasure was an opportunity from my youth. Though it holds some wonder, it is not worthy of the grand stage. Moreover, it has merged with my Primordial Spirit, becoming my life-bound treasure."

Her words carried her own little calculative thoughts, explicitly declaring that the treasure couldn’t be taken by others and would be useless even if it was. Whatever the other party’s intentions were, she intended to dispel any thoughts of seizing the treasure in advance.

Yi Hongchen saw through her little mind but simply reached out, letting the mirror fall into her palm. "Rest assured, I wouldn’t seize a junior’s treasure. I’m only trying to track down a demon and see if your treasure can help."

As she spoke, she carefully inspected it, but whether it was Immortal Light or Divine Techniques, after careful investigation, she discovered nothing particularly exquisite about this treasure. It seemed like just an ordinary magical treasure with some ingenious use.

While it held some mystery for a cultivator in the Celestial Human Realm, attempting to use it to search for an Immortal was simply unrealistic.

After finding no results, Yi Hongchen shook her head and handed the mirror back to Lu Chengfeng, "This item appears quite ordinary to me, so finding that old bald donkey seems unlikely."

Lu Chengfeng took the mirror without even looking at it and directly handed it back to Qi Lingxi. As Qi Lingxi received the mirror, he deliberately slid his finger across her palm.

Qi Lingxi was immediately startled, feeling her palm heat up, a nameless warmth and thrill surging through her heart.

"How dare he?"

"Clearly he’s just a pretty face cozying up to the ancestor, using his looks to please her, only to be granted some title of Regent King."

"Like a male concubine, how dare he do this to me in the ancestor’s presence?"

Lu Chengfeng’s actions completely took her by surprise. Yet, she felt a subtle joy in her heart, not out of love, but because her own sycophant still thought of her after associating with others.

This made her a bit proud, even though the ancestor’s status, power, and strength surpassed her, Lu Chengfeng still couldn’t bear to leave her.

"Hmph, men..."

Lu Chengfeng knew nothing of the chaotic thoughts in Qi Lingxi’s mind. His actions were merely instinctive, tempted by the sight of beauty, especially since he had previously shared intimacy with her.

Two years apart had seen Qi Lingxi become even more stunning, and now as the Sect Leader of the Celestial Law-Controlling Sect, her Taoist robe exuded an aura of authority, which only made him itch with longing.

After returning the mirror, he said with a playful smile, "Senior Sister Qi, it’s been a long time since we’ve met. Once you have some free time, would you like to visit me? I’ll serve you some tea."
