Chapter 44: This past life’s love is too wicked!

Shen Qingyi felt she had just had an excellent sleep.

Because she was blind, her hearing was usually quite sharp.

If she didn’t fall asleep quickly at night, she would often be awakened in the latter half by small nighttime noises.

Like the chirping of insects, or the sound of the wind.

But ever since Su Qiulian had come, she had still been able to sleep well, though that was mostly thanks to Su Qiulian’s natural fragrance.

However, last night, she could feel that the latter half of the night was completely peaceful, and Su Qiulian hadn’t released her fragrance at all.

It was a truly natural, restful sleep—so comfortable!

“Haah—”

Stretching her waist as she sat up, Shen Qingyi twisted her body from side to side, feeling as if the exhaustion from yesterday had been dispelled by that good rest.

Smacking her lips, she sat on the bed, spacing out for a while, only now fully opening her spiritual senses.

But once she did, she was startled out of her wits!

Within her spiritual perception, there were three people in the room besides herself!

It scared her so badly.

The one standing in front of her was definitely Su Qiulian, but who were the other two?

“Wh-Who are they…?”

Terrified, Shen Qingyi grabbed Su Qiulian’s sleeve, cautiously hiding behind her as she asked.

Su Qiulian reached forward and grabbed one of her hands, saying, “Who knows? Maybe a pair of stalkers!”

“Stalkers? That means they’re bad people!”

Hearing this, Shen Qingyi hid even more, completely tucking herself behind Su Qiulian.

But the very next second, upon hearing a voice from one of the other two, her mind went completely blank.

“As the Demon Emperor, you dare abduct an innocent girl and still have the nerve to talk! Xiao Yi! Come over to my side!”

Xiao Yi?

Wait, wait, wait!

That voice…

Wasn’t this the Sword Sovereign from her memories—the one who used the sword hilt to fiercely jab her?!

That terrifying scene still lingered in Shen Qingyi’s mind, impossible to dispel!

Realizing this, Shen Qingyi’s body trembled.

Why was she here?! What on earth was going on?!

Shen Qingyi had imagined the possibility of being caught by Bai Luoshuang, but this was way too fast!

Logically, it shouldn’t have been this quick!

And hearing her just now call her “Xiao Yi,” it must mean her memories from their previous lives had already returned.

What should she do…?

Although she wasn’t clear on what exactly had happened in her past life, from the fragments she remembered, neither of these two seemed to know about the other’s involvement with her.

So her instinctive thought was that she must have been some kind of… green tea who went back and forth between the Demon Emperor and the Sword Sovereign’s beds!

Yes, she was a scoundrel!

Now both of her former lovers had found her, and they’d met face-to-face—and from the looks of it, a fight could break out at any moment.

Oh my goodness, what am I supposed to do?!

Even if Shen Qingyi didn’t want to blindly trust those sudden memories, with them both here, and apparently about to fight over her, she had to steady them first no matter what she thought.

As she thought this, Su Qiulian in front of her snapped, “I’ll say it again, this is my little Shen—you have no right to call her that!”

“You wretch… She’s my Xiao Yi!”

Bai Luoshuang retorted, gnashing her teeth.

Shen Qingyi could clearly feel the atmosphere in the room solidifying, about to explode.

She was terrified!

What should she do, what should she do?

Were they really about to fight?

No, no, that can’t happen!

If you two start fighting, what will happen to me?

What about the fate of the world?

Shen Qingyi was so anxious she almost wanted to run in circles, but this was neither the place nor the time.

At that moment, the wooden walls of the room, under the pressure in the air, let out several “crack” sounds, as if foretelling that this confrontation was about to collapse, and the two were on the verge of erupting.

Shen Qingyi’s breath caught.

She gritted her teeth, and, deciding to throw caution to the wind, she stopped hiding, face flushing as she shouted, “Don’t fight! A’Lian! A’Shuang!”

Yes, she called them both by the affectionate names from her memories, right to their faces.

No more pretending.

There. I’ve said it out loud.

It should all be clear now, right?

But apparently, she was wrong.

Opposite her, Bai Luoshuang’s voice sounded especially distressed:

“Why… why does Xiao Yi call her A’Lian? Why am I still behind her!”

“Ah? I… I…”

Shen Qingyi stammered, unable to think of what to say, when Su Qiulian spoke as well.

“So A’Shuang really is her? Little Shen… I told you, didn’t I? You and I are a pair. You belong to me and me alone!”

As she spoke, Su Qiulian clamped down on Shen Qingyi’s wrist, locking her firmly behind her.

It was obvious that these two women were about to go yandere over her unfaithfulness!

Shen Qingyi was about to cry.

What should she do! Her past love life was really a mess!

Just then, the last person in the room who hadn’t spoken finally did.

Pei Xianyun said, “Ahem, if I may, perhaps you two could first talk things out at Yushenzong. With the Six Desires Soul-Calming Array keeping your emotions in check, we can all sit down and have a proper conversation…”

As she spoke, she looked toward Shen Qingyi, preparing to use her as leverage:

“After all, I’m sure neither of you wants to see Miss Shen Qingyi so upset, right?”

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingyi, though she didn’t know if this person was the master of Yushenzong, quickly caught on.

She immediately put on a pitiful, teary expression.

“Little Shen…”

“Xiao Yi…”

Sure enough, it worked. Seeing her like this, both Su Qiulian and Bai Luoshuang winced inwardly, but they still kept confronting each other, refusing to back down.

Seeing her act pitiful seemed effective, so Shen Qingyi immediately paired it with her soft, delicate voice and pleaded miserably, “If… if you two fight, then… then I won’t acknowledge either of you!”

As soon as she finished, Shen Qingyi thought she might have gone too far.

Way too much like a scoundrel!

But she was truly out of options—she’d already cried, and if they still fought, then honestly, there was nothing she could do!

Hearing this, Su Qiulian and Bai Luoshuang did seem to hesitate, though they still didn’t lower their guards.

Su Qiulian still had her Youling Shield activated, and Bai Luoshuang was still holding her sword.

Seeing that this really was working, Pei Xianyun hurriedly seized the chance while the two were distracted, quickly deploying the portable Six Desires Soul-Calming Array in layers.

Under the influence of the Six Desires Soul-Calming Array, the two finally calmed down a little.

They each sensed there was something off about this situation, and so the same thought rose in both their minds—

That was, to seize Shen Qingyi and get to the bottom of her relationship with the other!

Shen Qingyi, having noticed the tension easing, began to relax, but in the next second, she was lifted up by Su Qiulian and brought before Bai Luoshuang.

At this moment, these two usually antagonistic women acted in perfect sync—each grabbing one of Shen Qingyi’s hands, they declared, “Come! Let’s clear this up once and for all!”
