My Wife Is The Final Boss-Chapter 824 - 462: Secret Exposed (Double Length, Part 2)
To be honest, Zhu Pingniang felt she should be the one angry, after all, Li Zhibai hadn’t come down to see her in a long time!
Zhu Pingniang was certain that Li Zhibai would also feel guilty for not visiting her all this time.
So here’s the question.
If Li Zhibai feels guilty but still got slightly angry at her, it must be because of a significant mistake.
Zhu Pingniang gulped.
What kind of mistake had she made?
Her face turned a bit pale.
Zhu Pingniang was a smart person. After meticulously going over all her recent actions, she found the one—and only—reason that could make Li Zhibai feel guilty yet slightly angry with her.
"Could it be... did Ah Bai actually arrive earlier?"
"Did she actually hear... those shameless things I said to Wen Li?"
Zhu Pingniang’s eyes narrowed to a pinhole.
Sometimes, after ruling out all the possible causes, the remaining one must be the answer.
For Zhu Pingniang, who knew Li Zhibai very well, this was the only possibility among the impossibilities.
"Did... did she hear me say I like her, like a man likes a woman?"
"Did she hear about wanting to treat her like a mannequin and change her clothes eight hours a day?"
"Did she hear me say I wanted to push her onto the bed?"
Zhu Pingniang’s face turned deathly pale, and her veins seemed to start throbbing violently. She squeezed her knuckles hard, producing a cracking sound.
"No... it couldn’t be."
"No... now that I think about it, the deliberate way Ah Bai stepped in her embroidered shoes before she arrived didn’t seem like her..."
It was more like a message telling her that she just arrived, that she hadn’t been here earlier.
"And when the door first opened, Ah Bai... she..."
With this premise, Zhu Pingniang noticed many details she had overlooked.
After a long separation, she had shown this flamboyant side of herself in front of Li Zhibai. Normally, she should have been shocked, but Zhu Pingniang not only saw surprise but also a hint of dissatisfaction.
"I’m... exposed."
Zhu Pingniang thought about how her shameless words were overheard by Li Zhibai, and her blood seemed to be pumped by a machine, rapidly expanding and contracting.
In her turmoil, even her cultivation showed a momentary loss of control and backflow. For a time, her fair skin appeared to be covered with a faint red glow, and countless droplets evaporated into mist under extreme heat.
Wisps of white smoke rose from Zhu Pingniang’s scorching body.
In an instant, her previously bloodless face was filled with crimson, seeming like a gentle squeeze could draw blood.
"It’s over..."
What...
What should I do?!!!
Zhu Pingniang’s dark eyes trembled violently in their sockets.
She wanted to escape now.
Yet there was nowhere to go.
If only time could rewind.
"Does anyone in this world have the power to turn back time?"
In her extreme panic, Zhu Pingniang even entertained such an absurd thought.
If someone could rewind time to before she lost her mind in front of Li Zhibai, she would do anything they asked.
"Tong Jun."
Just then, Li Zhibai’s voice rang in Zhu Pingniang’s ear like a thunderclap.
"Ah!"
Zhu Pingniang cried out in shock, her pitch uncontrolled by fear.
Then she realized she had overreacted and forced herself to suppress the tremor in her voice.
"I’m here, what’s going on."
Li Zhibai: "?"
In the Inner Realm, Li Zhibai looked at Zhu Pingniang in the room with some confusion.
Nervous?
Is she feeling guilty?
What is there to be guilty about?
Could it be that Wen Li killing a Phantom scared her? 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
But when Li Zhibai saw Zhu Pingniang holding the teacup she had used, Liu Mei twitched twice.
Alright, so she was caught secretly using my cup.
Li Zhibai had no choice—compared to Tong Jun saying nonsense to Wen Li, just using her cup wasn’t such a big deal.
’This Ni Zi... never mind.’
"I’m planning to let you practice with Ah Li using your Taixu Realm shadow because using an Illusion Sword against the Taixu Realm isn’t effective."
Li Zhibai’s voice resounded in Zhu Pingniang’s ear.
"Tong Jun, do you have a sword there? Let Ah Li use one for a while."
"Sword... sword... I do." Zhu Pingniang, her face flushed, breathed a sigh of relief. She pretended to be calm as she opened her storage ring to search.
Her eyes lingered on the rapier she prepared for Xu Chang’an.
This was originally intended as a token of affection for Ah Bai.
She briefly considered giving it to show Ah Bai as well.
But ultimately, Zhu Pingniang abandoned the idea, realizing it was meant for Chang’an and shouldn’t be touched by another woman, even if that woman was Wen Li, before it found its rightful owner.
Zhu Pingniang took out a regular Second-Grade Longsword and tossed it to the light point in the air. In an instant, the Longsword was absorbed into the Inner Realm.
"Okay." Seeing Li Zhibai had received the Longsword, Zhu Pingniang tried to calm herself down, set down the teacup she was holding, and walked back into the inner room, where she...
Flopped onto the bed.
The cool quilt attempted to muffle the thunderous beating of her heart.
Zhu Pingniang buried her face in the covers, yet she still felt like her whole self was about to ignite.
She... was indeed exposed.
