Chapter 146 Dual Blades, Icy Brilliance in the Martial World (15)

She used someone else’s body. If the owner of this body dies, she might take care of those who have been good to her, but she will never get too close to Tantai Ziheng or any other man with this body, precisely because Yaoyao was still alive.

Tantai Ziheng snorted coldly, “What kind of tricks are you playing now?”

Bai Tang didn’t bother to pay attention to him. Weng Quan explained, “Young Master Tantai, we must leave. It won’t be long before the Blood Devil Cult comes looking for us. How can three people fight against the members of the Blood Devil Cult? Don’t you want Female Hero Bai to die, and Young Lady Yaoyao won’t come back?”

Tantai Ziheng snorted again, “I’ll hire two carriages. This is Yaoyao’s body. You better take good care of it.”

Bai Tang, “…”

Although she understood, it didn’t mean she would show a good expression to Tantai Ziheng.

The carriages were hired, and Bai Tang went up and lay down directly. She asked, “Who in the world has the strongest forging skills?”

“Of course, it’s our Divine Sword Villa,” Tantai Ziheng said confidently.

But Weng Quan added, “If we talk about the skill of forging treasured swords, Divine Sword Villa is undoubtedly the best. However, when it comes to other things, like various exquisite weapons, hidden weapons, the best is Tang Haotian from Tang Sect. As for the most skilled in poison-making and crafting hidden weapons, it is also him. But Tang Haotian never crafts hidden weapons for outsiders.”

Bai Tang Tang pondered, “May I ask, Young Master Weng, there should be places in the martial world where you can buy information, or people who provide such services, right?”

Weng Quan replied, “That would be the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion. In the lower region around Langya, whether it’s the conflicts in the martial world, some secret matters of the court, or various petty actions between neighbors, as long as you can pay the price, you can buy information.”

Bai Tang immediately declared, “Go to the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.”

Tantai Ziheng asked warily, “What are you going to do at the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion?”

Bai Tang replied impatiently, “Young Master Tantai, you don’t have the right to know everything. What I want to do is none of your business. It’s not something like sneaking around and damaging Yaoyao’s reputation.”

Tantai Ziheng retorted, “If you say it’s not, then it’s not?”

Bai Tang smiled, “If that’s what Young Master Tantai thinks, then I have nothing more to say. Just remember, if you try to mess with me, you might have to wait a few more years for Young Lady Yaoyao to return.”

“You…” Tantai Ziheng was furious but also shouted, “Go to the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.”

Bai Tang now began to fully repair this body. She couldn’t leave any flaws or hidden ailments behind.

Unable to kill, only imprisonment remained as an option. He¹ had already been imprisoned twice, and one more time wouldn’t make much of a difference.

Yaoyao asked, “Young Lady Bai, when can my spiritual body recover? I want to come out and talk to him.”

She chose to give up on Ziheng, but she didn’t expect Ziheng, who had always been obedient, to run out.

Bai Tang understood what Yaoyao was thinking. “When I came, you were about to dissipate. To recover to the point where you can control this body, it will take at least a year.”

Even a year was considered fast.

If Yaoyao were to recover on her own, it would probably take more than thirty years. The one-year estimate was because Bai Tang’s spiritual body nourished her.

“Suddenly, I feel like this year has been quite long. I… he, I have a blood feud, and he has a father who won’t choose me again. It’s really difficult… Young Lady Bai, I was impulsive just now.”

Yaoyao, who had calmed down, put her emotions aside.

After taking revenge, she needed to rebuild her clan, and it would take at least ten to twenty years. It was too late to catch the eye of the future Villa Master Tantai at that time.

Bai Tang said, “Easily obtained treasures are priceless, and it’s hard to find a lover with deep affection. How can one stay calm in love all the time? Young Lady Yaoyao, you might as well plan your future well. I won’t let the Blood Devil Cult’s leader off easily.”

For a moment, the carriage was quiet. Bai Tang’s chest oozed a little blood, like tiny specks of red plum blossoms scattered around.

Weng Quan contemplated—what should he do next?

Author’s Note: The turning point was in the next plane/ world. When Ah Su was willing to give himself a chance, little Tang’er could arrive a bit earlier.
