How could Meng Qingying understand this kind of joke? Anyway, she knew that Qin Yi would hunt her down no matter what.

She shook her head speechlessly, exchanged a blow with Qin Yi, and suddenly said, “Wait a minute.”

She took the initiative to put away the shuttle first, signaling to stop fighting.

Qin Yi frowned, but he still remained alert. He said in a deep voice, “What trick are you playing now?”

In just a moment, Jing Kong and other monks had gathered around him, saying loudly, “Nephew Disciple Meng, this person is too strong. Don’t let him live!”

Meng Qingying glanced at several monks and smiled sweetly, “I heard that you are a reasonable person.”

Qin Yi said faintly, “You want to reason too?”

“My reason is, you can’t kill me, and I can’t kill you.” Meng Qingying smiled, “I don’t know what the point of fighting between us or do you want to see my clothes burst apart due to the underworld escape spell again?”

After being reminded like this, he remembered that he seemed to have seen her naked body. Although it was only fleeting, he had already seen everything…

“I play tricks? You really wronged me.” Meng Qingying tossed the shuttle in her hand, half smiling, “Three months ago, who was the one who tricked me into triggering the enchantment? Who was the animal who staged the rape scene?”

Qin Yi coughed twice but did not answer.

Meng Qingying said again, “Who was pretending to be weak to lure me out? You could obviously end this temple yourself, but you lured me into killing you. Now you said that I’m playing tricks?”

Qin Yi finally felt like laughing, “Didn’t you wake up the ancient corpse in advance and almost kill me in the first place?”

Meng Qingying said, “I was refining puppet, which had nothing to do with you and Ming He. Ming He ruined my matter, so I wanted to kill her. What was the problem?”

Qin Yi, “…”

“I wanted to kill Ming He, not you, but you almost killed me to save your lover.” Meng Qingying said, “This is my reasoning.”

“What about this time?”

“I admit that I wanted to kill you first this time, and I will do the same when we meet again in the future because you and I have formed enmities.” Meng Qingying smiled very naturally, “But since you and I can’t do anything to each other now, we can leave our enmity for next time. It is not my way to fight a pointless battle.”

Qin Yi was stunned, but he could retort.

This girl is a typical demonic utilitarian, and she is also cute and frank. She said it justly, making me feel like I was wrong in the first place. The basis of her argument, ‘I was refining puppet, which had nothing to do with you and Ming He.’ is flawed, but if I were to reason with her that she will harm the mortal by refining the zombie and she shouldn’t disturb senior’s corpse, it probably wouldn’t work to her.

I’m used to not arguing about such differences in fundamental values, otherwise Liu Su and I will quarrel every day.

If I can win, I will fight. If she and I can’t do anything to each other, there seems to be no point in fighting anymore.

Thinking of this, he sighed and said, “So Miss Meng is suggesting that we stop fighting for the time being?”

Meng Qingying put her hand on her cheek, thought for a while, and said with a smile, “You came to this temple to serve justice for those women from good families, right?”

“Yes.”

“That is good. I’m also a woman, and I sympathize with them.”

Jing Kong and others who were getting impatient were shocked. They all took a step back.

Qin Yi glanced at them, “So what do you want to say?”

“If you kill them and burn down this temple for justice, you will bear this reputation, right? Aren’t you afraid that the Temple Great Joy behind them will cause trouble for you?”

Qin Yi said calmly, “Since I decided to step in, I’m not afraid of trouble.”

“Hoh.” Meng Qingying tilted her head cutely.

Amidst the cute movements with laughter, Jing Kong and others suddenly realized that they could no longer move.

They were bound by their own shadows, and they could only whimper.

After a moment, there was no sound from all of them.

Qin Yi looked at his own shadow subconsciously. His cultivation was just high enough that was out of the control of Meng Qingying, but this move was really dreadful.

Meng Qingying waved her hand, and the unextinguished flames in the distance were attracted to the corpses.

She clapped her hands and smiled, “It’s actually Voodoo Ritual Fire. Not bad. Very easy to remember.”

Qin Yi couldn’t help but take a deep breath, “What are you doing?”

“Aren’t you going to kill them? I’ll help you.” Meng Qingying smiled, “Anyway, you just need to bear the blame. The remaining monks outside the temple will also prove that you were the one who entered the temple and killed them.”

Qin Yi didn’t care about this reputation. After all, he indeed wanted to kill these perverted monks. If Meng Qingying didn’t do it, he would definitely do it. She just saved him from the procedure.

But he just didn’t understand Meng Qingying’s actions, “Aren’t you guys allies?”

“We are both in the ‘evil way’ in the eyes of Ming He and others. We just have some relationships at most, not allies.” Meng Qingying waved and took the golden goddess statue with shadow.

“You turned against them just to seize the treasure?”

“How can you say that?” Meng Qingying smiled, “You killed these people, right?”

Qin Yi, “…”

“Then such evil treasure will most likely be destroyed by our righteous Mr. Qin, right? I just can’t bear to waste the treasure and reluctantly take it. Don’t forget that the Shadow Puppet I refined was destroyed in your hands, so take it as compensation for me.”

Qin Yi figured out something, “Actually, you are in this city just to wait for an opportunity to seize their golden statue, which has a great mind bending effect, and refine it into a new puppet. Are you afraid that the Great Joy Sect will notice something amiss and trouble you instead of me?”

“You don’t have to worry about it. Our Myriad Shinra Sect has our own way. Okay, the deal is completed. We will settle our enmity in the future.” Meng Qingying was about to leave.

“Wait, is the deal completed?” Qin Yi said coldly, “Without you, I can kill these monks too. Even if I don’t need the golden statue, I can smelt it into something else. You took advantage of me, and then you told me that the deal was completed? If I don’t get a convincing answer, we will fight for another three hundred rounds!”

“Oh my righteous hero, why are you so fussy about everything?”

“These are two different matters!”

“Okay, okay, I know you are a cunning little man who can’t take any loss.” Meng Qingying smiled, “Then let’s just take it as I’m exchanging this golden statue with you. What do you want to exchange for?”

Qin Yi twitched his mouth and said after a long time, “Give me a flying enchanted weapon.”

Meng Qingying was a little surprised. Soon, she realized that Qin Yi was strong in martial arts, but his immortal cultivation had not broken through the Piano Heart Stage, which allowed him to refine his own enchanted weapon.

She pondered for a moment, but she concluded that it wasn’t a bad deal. Soon, she took out a handkerchief from the ring and threw it over, “This is the first flying enchanted weapon I refined when I just broke through the Piano Heart Stage. I’ll leave it as a souvenir for you, little brother. Keep your head and this handkerchief, I will get them one day.”

Her figure had gradually merged into the shadow of the peach blossoms.

Qin Yi was speechless, holding the fragrant handkerchief. Turning around, the dancing “goddesses” who were originally in the monastery had all been killed by the shadows. The fragrance of the handkerchief still had the warmness of the girl, but the bloody scene made a stark contrast with it as if it was like a dream.

When reading novels, I always find the evil woman attractive, but when I actually face one, I only know that I’m really talking to the devil, which is even more eerie than many monsters. In addition to raising my alert, I have no other intentions for her.

TL: Well, at least he can fly now…
