Chapter 191: Exasperated Lady Crescent Moon


    The elegant widow Mu Qingshuang was utterly shocked upon hearing her friend''s words. She looked at Su Jingyi with a puzzled expression, finding it hard to believe that the esteemed and graceful Fairy Su, an immortal among mortals, not only had a man who wasn''t entirely devoted to her but also harbored feelings for another woman. It seemed that this man had a lot of nerve.


    Moreover, it wasn''t just about the man''s audacity; Su Jingyi''s demeanor was unexpectedly mncholic and downcast. Mu Qingshuang was surprised that she wasn''t furious. Shouldn''t she be filled with anger, to the point of taking her sword and dealing with that faithless man? Instead, she appeared disheartened and forlorn.


    Mu Qingshuang opened her mouth but wasn''t sure what to say. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation, and she hesitated for a moment before softly asking, "When did you find out that he had another woman in his heart, and not just you?"


    From the very beginning, actually. Su Jingyi pursed her lips and said in a soft tone."If I tell you, will youugh at me?"


    "Laugh at what?"


    "You''re my best sister. Seeing you so upset now, how could I pour salt on your wound?" Mu Qingshuang rolled her eyes and wiped the damp table with her handkerchief. She poured herself another cup of tea and prepared to take a sip.


    "To be honest, I''ve known from the start that there''s another woman in his heart, and to be precise, he and that woman have been deeply in love for a long time," Su Jingyi''s cold face was filled with a helpless and troubled expression as she spoke in a hushed voice.


    After hearing this, Mu Qingshuang''s hand trembled once again, and this time, the teacup fell to the floor, shattering it. She stared at the Daoist nun in front of her in shock, her eyes filled with astonishment, disbelief, and even a sense of beingpletely at a loss.


    Could it be? Jingyi… Jingyi actually fell in love with a man who already has a woman. What is she thinking?


    "You, you…"


    Mu Qingshuang stuttered for a long time but couldn''t form aplete sentence. She quicklyposed herself, then scolded Su Jingyi without much patience, "Are you out of your mind? How could you fall in love with a man who already has a woman? Are you trying to be someone''s concubine?"


    "How could I be someone''s concubine? If there''s a concubine, it would be that woman." Su Jingyi bit her lip and responded softly.


    "Hey!"


    "Was I implying that?" The elegant widow rolled her eyes and scolded her irritably, "I meant, how could you fall in love with such a man? You know he has a woman, so why would you dive into these troubled waters? Besides, with your status, you''re a revered immortal in the eyes of countless people. How can you do something so embarrassing?"


    Su Jingyi slowly raised her tea cup, took a small sip, and calmly replied, "I came here to seekfort from you, not for a lecture on morality. I already know all the things you''ve mentioned, but some things are just unconventional, even irrational. If everything in the world required a perfect answer, don''t you think life would be very boring?"


    "Knowing all that and still doing it," Mu Qingshuang said with annoyance, "you asked me tofort you, but how can I providefort? You know I''ve always been alone and never had a partner."


    Su Jingyi remained silent and quietly sipped her tea. She wore an expression of sorrow on her face. After she put her tea cup down, she softly asked, "Do you think I''m incredibly foolish? To the point of being irredeemable?"


    "Yes!" Mu Qingshuang bluntly responded, "Knowing it''s impossible and still proceeding. It''s not just foolish; it''s in stupidity. What else could it be?"


    Su Jingyi sighed, looking at her tea cup. She responded, "From the beginning of our meeting, to getting to know each other, and eventually understanding each other, to now being in love. You might not understand how many things have happened in between, but I… I can''t leave him, and I''m even willing to make many sacrifices for him."


    "You!" Mu Qingshuang couldn''t find words to express her shock, ring at Su Jingyi, both surprised and enraged. She eventually asked, "Who is he, exactly?"


    Su Jingyi raised her head and looked at her dear sister. She spoke softly, "I won''t tell you who he is, and I won''t let you find him. I don''t want another womaning to steal him from me. So, let go of that idea."


    "Ugh!"


    "I may be a widow, but I still have my dignity," Mu Qingshuang said irritably, "Jingyi, let me give you a piece of advice: let go of this rtionship. For you, it''s a source of hurt. It''s already made you miserable. Don''t remain blindly stubborn. It''s not toote to let go now."


    Su Jingyi shook her head and mumbled, "It''s toote."


    "Toote?"


    "What does that mean?" Mu Qingshuang furrowed her brows, looking at Su Jingyi with puzzlement. Suddenly, she eximed with a panicked expression, "You two haven''t… been intimate, have you?"


    "No, we haven''t reached that stage. We only revealed our hearts to each other today," Su Jingyi said softly. "But we''ve already made amitment to each other, promising not to leave. That''s why I said it''s toote."


    At this moment, Mu Qingshuang was feeling dizzy and overwhelmed. This reserved and silent woman, who typically wore an icy expression, had made a dramatic change. Not only had she fallen in love with a man who was alreadymitted to another woman, but they had also mutually vowed not to leave each other.


    "I''m dizzy… I''m dizzy." Mu Qingshuang mumbled to herself as she touched her forehead, feeling helpless. "You need to give me some time."


    Su Jingyi paid her no mind and continued sipping her tea. At the same time, the elegant widow was trying to calm her emotions, repeatedly telling herself that it was all about love. However, she still couldn''t fully ept this situation.


    "Jingyi," Mu Qingshuang asked hesitantly, biting her lip, "What are your ns for the future?"


    "I don''t know," Su Jingyi replied softly, "Let''s leave the future forter."


    ".."


    "Do you know who that woman is?" Mu Qingshuang asked again.


    Su Jingyi hesitated for a while and then nodded silently. She replied in a soft, mysterious tone, "Not only do I know her, but I also… I know her personally."


    "What?!" Mu Qingshuang suddenly stood up, her elegant nightgown gaping, revealing her fair and wless skin. She looked at Su Jingyi with an expression of disbelief and stammered, "You… know that woman?"


    For a moment, the pretty widow''s head felt even more dizzy, and she felt that this situation was bing increasinglyplex.


    "Wait, let me get this straight," Mu Qingshuang took a deep breath and said seriously, "First, you met a young man who was handsome, strong, charming, and humorous, and he''s her man. Then you fell in love with him, despite knowing he already has another woman, and you even know that woman!"


    Su Jingyi remained silent and nodded.


    "Then you''ve gone beyond being foolish; you''re getting into self-deprecation!" Mu Qingshuang locked her eyebrows tightly, saying, "I''m sorry; I shouldn''t describe you that way. But the way you are now, I just can''t ept it."


    Su Jingyi let out a long sigh and mumbled to herself, "I can hardly believe it myself. I''ve gone so far, but now it doesn''t matter. I… I already belong to him…"


    Mu Qingshuang hesitated and asked softly, "Does that woman know? She probably doesn''t, right?"


    "Qingshuang…"


    "The rtionship between me and that woman is much moreplex than you can imagine, so I can''t reveal too much information to you," Su Jingyi said calmly. "I''m not intentionally hiding anything from you; I''m protecting you from that woman. She''s formidable, and I''m afraid she might hurt you."


    "I see," Mu Qingshuang said, pursing her lips. "I tried to inquire about the man''s background, and you''ve always been evasive. So, is that woman really so powerful? Is she a threat even to you? You''re one of the two seventh realm experts in the world; theoretically, no one should be able to threaten you."


    Su Jingyi slightly frowned, her icy face revealing a hint of helplessness. She casually said, "She is a woman you wouldn''t expect."


    A woman I wouldn''t expect? And she can even intimidate Su Jingyi with her status? Mu Qingshuang thought for a moment. "First, let''s rule out the obvious answer. It definitely isn''t the millennia-old demoness Miao Fengxian. No man in the world would dare to provoke her. That leaves… well…"


    Su Jingyi lightly bit her lips and said indifferently, "Enough, enough. Don''t guess. You can''t possibly guess who she is. By the way, I wanted to ask you a few things."


    Mu Qingshuang nced at this extraordinary woman and said irritably, "With my current abilities, I can''t help you anymore. Perhaps you should ask those pce concubines; they have experience in winning favor and might be able to give you the answers you seek."


    "I''m not asking about that."


    Su Jingyi slightly turned her face and hesitated before saying, "This… This is something only you can help me with because you can rte to it the most."


    "What exactly is it?" Mu Qingshuang suddenly became interested and asked curiously.


    "This…"


    "I… I…" Su Jingyi bit her lower lip lightly, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks. She asked timidly, "His chest is especially strong and robust, and his words are so sweet. When I lean against his chest and listen to his sweet words, I can''t control the impulses in my heart. Qingshuang, what should I do?"


    For a moment, the reserved widow waspletely taken aback.


    "Su Jingyi!"


    "I don''t even have a man, and you ask me this question. What are you trying to imply?" Mu Qingshuang red at her with wide-open eyes, infuriated.


    Su Jingyi curled her lips, a hint of shallow satisfaction flickering in her eyes.


    I wanted to annoy you!


    Who gave you the right to keep calling me a cold, stubborn old woman?
