Ultimate Scheming System

“Duan Jiude’s master? Zixia Fairy?” Xu Que thought.

Xu Que was so excited that he immediately exclaimed, “F*ck!”

Zixia Fairy appeared. “Does this not mean that there’s news about Xiao Rou and Madam Ya?” she thought. “Damn, counting the time. They’ve been missing for 20 or 30 years. Now there’s finally news!”

“Go! Get out of here, quickly!”

Xu Que immediately waved his arms and sped up smashing the stone wall above his head, eager to rush out.

Upon seeing this, Buttface hurriedly stopped Xu Que. “F*ck, boy, hang on first. What’s waiting to meet you outside seems to be a terrible murderous aura, ah!”

“Murderous aura? What murderous aura?” Xu Que stared blankly.

“You’re asking, Your Holiness? Who can Your Holiness ask? Who knows what insane and morally degenerate things you did to Duan Jiude’s master?!” Buttface said as he glared at him.

Xu Que suddenly opened his mouth, but he was at a loss for words. A cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He had almost forgotten that Zixia Fairy and he had a muddled score to settle.

During his time in the Water Nation, he had accidentally encountered Zixia Fairy after her change. She was ready to break the restrictive spell on the Five Elements Mountain and unlock the shackles of the Four Great Continents.

Xu Que, however, had not wanted the shackles to be broken at the time, so he also had used a Disguise Puppet to easily approach Zixia Fairy, intending to secretly obstruct her.

In the end, as luck would have it, maybe the Red Rope of Marriage had brought about the effect, but the two people had gotten mixed up in the experience of a Relationships Tribulation in the Illusory Realm and spent a lifetime together as mortals.

After the end of the Illusory Realm, Zixia Fairy’s memory had been restored and fallen into a long period of despondency. Coupled with the failure of her personal seal, she had to be forced out of the Five Elements Mountain!

So, Xu Que, the drama queen, had stepped forward and pretended that Zixia Fairy had jumped off a cliff. Amid all the yelling and crying, he had bewailed and begged for death, completely breaking Zixia Fairy’s Taoist Mind to sever the feeling.

Later, Zixia Fairy had in fact been forced out of the Five Elements Mountain. As a result, when Xu Que had returned to the Four Great Continents, he had heard that Zixia Fairy had disappeared, along with the Mystery Land of South Continent, without any news.

Now that he was about to reunite with Zixia Fairy, Xu Que felt very guilty. This debt was too messy. He had originally impersonated the identity of a Joker, and if Zixia Fairy discovered the truth, she could become obsessive and deranged at any time and make mincemeat of him.

“After all, when it comes to this matter…” Xu Que tried to think of a nice way to put it. “”It was just a way to hit on the ladies. But to put it bluntly, it was to play with other people’s feelings and trick her into having sex!”

Xu Que shook his head, sighed with a sad face, and said, “Alas, there’s going to be trouble. I can only blame myself for being young and thoughtless at the time. I was still not mature enough!”

Xuanyuan Wanrong frowned at Xu Que and asked, “What enemy have you provoked and attracted again?”

“Not an enemy!” Xu Que smiled bitterly. His cultivation stage was still being sealed at present.

“If by any chance I go out and Zixia Fairy finds out the truth,” he thought, “And if she decides to come to blows with me, perhaps Xuanyuan Wanrong might have to lend a helping hand, ah!”

“It’s his sweetheart!” Buttface added. “A moral obligation as a consequence of a love affair that Brother Que had incurred outside in those days.”

“F*ck, what moral obligation as a consequence of a love affair?” Xu Que asked in anger. “I didn’t do anything, okay?” He knew he was wrong in this matter but, because everything happened only in the Illusory Realm, in reality he didn’t take the slightest bit of advantage of Zixia Fairy.

“Brother Que, call a spade a spade. You can absolutely be called a love cheat for the things you’ve done. Love them and leave them. Your Holiness thinks that when you go out, you should immediately kneel in front of her. Then perhaps there is a way out of the predicament,” Buttface said with a face full of profound mystery.

“Screw that! A man should have dignity and not grovel or bow down!” Xu Que declared resolutely.

“Your Holiness is very much looking forward to whether Duan Jiude will cut you down with a sword once he knows the truth!” Buttface suddenly rejoiced in his misfortune.

“I dare him to!” Xu Que looked calm and proud.

Xuanyuan Wanrong had been coolly watching from the side and finally snorted as she shook her head!

“Oh, men!” she thought.

………

The stone wall above their heads completely fell apart, exposing a deep crack the width of a person.

Xu Que, however, had lost his earlier impulse to get out of there. He dillydallied and was unwilling to leave.

Buttface took the lead like a wild dog being taken off the leash and impatiently rushed out. The expression across his face was like a spectator getting ready to go watch a lively show while cracking peanuts, fully reveling in other people’s misfortunes.

In a burst of guilt, Xu Que hurriedly reminded him, “Damn, Buttface, don’t spout nonsense when you go out!”

“Your Holiness is not stupid. I heard nothing!” Buttface responded excitedly and leapt toward the surface.

Xuanyuan Wanrong still maintained her indifference like an inaccessible iceberg. As if living in her own world, she minded her own business and floated upward leisurely. She didn’t care what Xu Que was about to face.

Xu Que awkwardly pleaded for help. “Well, Miss Xuanyuan, we did swear to live or die together. You will have to protect me later!”

“You reap what you sow!” Xuanyuan Wanrong answered indifferently and then swept out of the cave.

Xu Que momentarily drew back the corners of his mouth and looked frozen on the spot.

“Well, what’s coming will come, and I’ll meet it when it does!”

He eventually gritted his teeth, braced himself, and rushed up in a swish.

After charging out of the crack at the top of the cave, a burst of fresh air suddenly hit him in the face and his line of sight brightened.

Xu Que immediately entered a state of vigilance and turned his body 360 degrees to look around, seeking the location of Zixia Fairy.

Only Duan Jiude, Mo Junchen and the others, however, were on the edge of the large crack on the ground. Zixia Fairy wasn’t in sight, but traces of her presence were all around, proving that she had been there.

“F*ck, it can’t be,” Buttface complained. Don’t tell me she’s left? Your Holiness hasn’t yet witnessed that exciting moment!”

“Is it true that she has left?” Xu Que was also startled. After widely opening his Soul Strength, he still did not find Zixia Fairy.

Duan Jiude and the others also stared blankly at Xu Que before turning their gazes to Xuanyuan Wanrong.

Everyone looked cautious and uncomfortable. Even both Duan Jiude and Mo Junchen did not dare to breathe.

Obviously, they had recognized Xuanyuan Wanrong. Even if Mo Junchen had not seen her appearance before, the imperceptible pressure that her body gave off was enough to clue him in to her terrible existence.

Xuanyuan Wanrong, however, ignored everyone’s eyes and continued minding her own business. She stood in place and gazed around thoughtfully.

This made everyone secretly relieved, and they subsequently drew close toward Xu Que.

“Congratulations to Faction Leader Xu for passing another tribulation!” Mo Junchen said with cupped hands and a smile on his face. He congratulated Xu Que on avoiding the prophecy of a Death Tribulation.

Liu Jingning also smiled as she walked over and asked with compassion, “Little guy, what are you so nervous about? Are you afraid that some woman will come to you to settle a score?”

“Don’t joke. I’m innocent!” Xu Que said with a pained expression on his face.

“F*ck, boy, what did you do to my Grandmaster?” Duan Jiude rushed up and asked with an anxious look.

“Well, nothing, nothing at all. It was just a small misunderstanding. Where is she?” Xu Que said with an awkward smile, looking like he wanted to cover it up.

“A small misunderstanding?”

Duan Jiude instantly glared at him and roared, “A small misunderstanding, my ass! Why did she get all rile up when I told her that you are the Joker? I thought she was going to kill me!”

“Erm, is… Is it so scary?” Xu Que gave a dry laugh, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead, making him look guilty.

“But strangely, she was murderous at first and wanted to crack open this place, but as soon as she lifted her hand, she slowly pulled back again and finally made one remark before she left!” Duan Jiude was confused.

Xu Que suddenly became worried and asked, “What did she say?”

Baffled, Duan Jiude said with a frown, “She said, ‘The Joker is already dead.’”

“Already dead…”

Xu Que became uneasy as a strange feeling came over him. He felt empty and lost inside. It was uncomfortable, even more so than Zixia Fairy holding a sword to cut him.

“Boy, what the hell did you do? Do you know that she shed a tear that fell at that very spot next to your feet? This is the first time I’ve seen her like this. She actually shed a tear!”

Duan Jiude became frantic, wondering what had happened and why his Grandmaster would act so strangely.

Xu Que did not say a word. He cast his eyes down at his feet and saw nothing on the dirt beside them.

His heart, though, suddenly squirmed.

Then the last scene of that time in the Illusory Realm emerged before his eyes again.

“The white-haired Zixia Fairy had leaned on his shoulders and said ordinary words of love. She had then closed her eyes amid the ordinary and simple life!”

“Damn, I was wrong!” Xu Que braced his fingers on both hands and tightly grasped both of his legs. His nails almost embedded into his flesh.

In the next moment, he looked up at Liu Jingning and said, “Little demoness, I have to go somewhere first.”

“You fool, hurry up and go!” Liu Jingning smiled and pointed her finger in the direction of South Continent.
