Chapter 755: A Day of Heavy Losses

Gu Xin'er initiated a peck. Feigning shyness, she lowered her head: "Are you satisfied now, husband...?"

Before she could finish speaking, she was tightly embraced by Jiang Fan, who then covered her mouth. Gu Xin'er's eyes widened. She struggled to push Jiang Fan away. But then she realized that pushing him away again would truly reveal her identity. Her eyes slowly closed. Inwardly, she frantically chanted: "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss all you want! If I let you live today, I'll say my name backward eight hundred times!"

Perhaps she had come to terms with it. She slowly relaxed. She even had the leisure to feel. "It seems... it's not so bad." Gu Xin'er muttered to herself: "It's slightly better than being kissed by a pig. But I still won't let him off! Hmph!"

Just then, Jiang Fan's hand moved towards her chest. Gu Xin'er was startled and quickly grabbed his hand, her eyes wide, as she urgently said: "Xiao Fan, you can't do this."

Jiang Fan gazed at her deeply: "We've already gone that far; why are you still concerned about this? What's wrong with you today?" With that said, without allowing her to resist, he again covered her mouth. Gu Xin'er's mind was in a turmoil. What should I do? What should I do? That Liu Qingxian had already formed a marital relationship with Jiang Fan. If she stopped him now, wouldn't her identity be exposed?

Perhaps she should just give up! Forget about the Saint's legacy; she should just punch his dog head in and cut her losses. But then she reconsidered; she had already been hugged and kissed like this. She had already sacrificed so much. Instead of giving up, she might as well have just beaten him to death from the start. "I cannot make such a sacrifice in vain. Hold on! Anyway, I'm going to kill him later. No one would know about today's events, except for me, my master, heaven, and earth!"

With that thought, she steeled her heart. She slowly loosened her grip. Consequently, her chest heaved violently, as if mighty dragons were stirring beneath her clothes, their powerful forms appearing and disappearing. Gu Xin'er gritted her teeth, her murderous intent reaching its peak. "I will definitely kill you! Definitely!!"

For a very long time, Gu Xin'er felt she was almost numb. Finally, Jiang Fan stopped, then began to explore various parts of her body. This made Gu Xin'er feel a little puzzled. Why did it feel like he was searching for something on her? Not until he had searched her entire body did Jiang Fan finally let her go completely.

Jiang Fan himself was quite out of breath, taking several deep breaths. Gu Xin'er was no better. She felt her lips were numb, and there was some pain beneath her chest. "This scoundrel is truly barbaric! To treat his own woman this way. One could only imagine how brutally he would ravage other women." At this moment, Gu Xin'er even felt some sympathy for Liu Qingxian. How could she have ended up with a man who so lacked gentleness and appreciation for women?

"Husband, are you satisfied now?" Gu Xin'er said, her eyes alluring. Jiang Fan patted her bottom and said, "Wifey, you did well. Then I'll teach you "Sword Heart Engraving" one more time. This sword technique focuses on sensing the sword intent, not on the sword form. Close your eyes, and I'll guide you through a practice session hand-in-hand."

Gu Xin'er was delighted. "Good! My great sacrifice won't be in vain! You scoundrel! Once you've taught me the sword technique, it'll be your death day! I'll chop you into pieces, burn you to ashes, and then scatter them in a foul latrine!!"

On the surface, she showed a joyful expression: "Thank you, husband." To show her gratitude, she even proactively kissed Jiang Fan's cheek. Jiang Fan came behind her, took her right hand, and said, "Close your eyes and move with me."

Gu Xin'er had no suspicions. Indeed, some sword techniques require understanding the sword intent, and focusing too much on the form can make one overlook the essence. Closing one's eyes to comprehend sword intent was not uncommon. She immediately closed her eyes willingly, allowing Jiang Fan to guide her through the sword technique. Though there was no sword, she could indeed feel Jiang Fan guiding her body as if performing a sword art.

How to describe the sword technique? It wasn't particularly advanced; at least, from the Nascent Soul realm's perspective, it was barely considered high-grade Profound-tier. "Could this be the Saint's legacy?" But slowly, she began to notice something extraordinary. As the sword stances unfolded, a sense of returning to simplicity, distinct from ordinary sword techniques, surged within her. What puzzled her slightly was... Faintly, she kept hearing the sound of chains clanging.

"Alright." Jiang Fan suddenly stopped. "That's it? It seemed like it had just begun, hadn't it?" Gu Xin'er opened her eyes to see. Jiang Fan was holding one end of a chain. The other end was tied to a floating purple sword, suspended around her. As Jiang Fan pulled hard, the chains suddenly tightened. Her arms and body were tightly bound together. Her feet were bound tightly at the ankles. Next, her wrists were tied behind her back. Even her neck had a chain wrapped around it. It was even more secure than when he had bound Concubine Yunxia.

"What are you doing?" Gu Xin'er was startled. Jiang Fan's gaze turned cold, and with a sweeping move, he knocked her to the ground. Then he stepped on her back. Just moments ago, he had been infatuated with her. In the blink of an eye, he had her pinned to the ground. This stark contrast left Gu Xin'er somewhat bewildered. "Husband, what are you doing?"

Jiang Fan said indifferently, "Stop pretending. The real Liu Qingxian is waiting for me in front of the Mission Hall." As soon as this fake Liu Qingxian appeared, Jiang Fan had already sensed something was amiss. Moreover, she had been continuously trying to lure him outside. He didn't need to think to know she was definitely an impostor. However, he wondered what method this person had used to imitate Liu Qingxian's appearance so perfectly. Only after physical contact with her did Jiang Fan notice the subtle differences.

Gu Xin'er panicked. "Had she been exposed? No way?" She decided to try one more bluff, feigning a pained expression: "Husband, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Fan smiled: "My lady, there's no need to cling to hope anymore. You were exposed a long time ago. Firstly, "Sword Heart Engraving" was discovered by Liu Qingxian and me together; she would never fail to know the name of this sword technique. But you, at first, spoke of a sword technique passed down in a dream. Although I don't know how you learned she received enlightenment in a dream, based on that alone, your identity was revealed. Secondly, Liu Qingxian is open and straightforward; she wouldn't refuse my advances. But you, at first, were startled. Thirdly... never mind, I won't insult you further."

He summoned the purple sword. He pointed it at her heart and said, "I only have one question. Who are you?" He couldn't quite understand; he had just arrived at the Heavenly Secret Pavilion and hadn't had time to make enemies with anyone, had he? How had he managed to provoke someone like this, who went to such lengths to trick him into coming out? And she even tried to trick him into revealing "Sword Heart Engraving." Even more surprisingly, she knew about the dream enlightenment. This matter should only be known by Liu Qingxian herself and Jiang Fan. He was truly curious about the person before him.

Gu Xin'er's face stiffened. At this point, pretending further was pointless. Her eyes burned with shame and indignation: "So you knew I was fake. And you still... treated me like that!"
