Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss

“Seek my guidance for what? I already said it the last time I went to Ding Lin Country: Your master is to take up my responsibility as guardian. These guardians have also jointly tested and passed her. You should just let her make the decision.” It was as if Mo Kongyuan had grabbed a hot potato, and immediately tossed it out.

“Nothing like that happened, don’t listen to his nonsense. Before this, he clearly said to wait until he… well, you know. Only then will I take his place as a guardian.” Out of respect, Ling Chuxi did not say ‘die’. She had no intention of looking for trouble. Back then, she had agreed to Mo Kongyuan because she had no choice, but who’d have thought that he would so quickly throw it back at her?

“You are saying to wait until I die, right?” Mo Kongyuan scoffed bluntly. “Chuxi, I did say that, but just look at these old bones of mine… Although I did not die this time, I was severely injured, and I have reached the point where my light will soon go out. I am unable to eat or sleep, my skin is yellowed and my muscles are weak, deficient in Qi and blood. It appears I don’t have many more days to live. Can’t you just let me enjoy a few days in leisure and comfort?”

Yellowed skin? Muscles deficient in Qi and blood? Even Fu Huayi, Xie Wuji, and the others rolled their eyes. Whether or not his light was about to be snuffed out, they did not know, but the current Mo Kongyuan looked healthy and full of life, as if he had just eaten ten Great Replenishment Pills. It was obvious that he had gotten significantly plumper, and even his chin had doubled.

And he actually dared to say such words?

Was this really a legendary guardian? To Xie Wuji and the rest, being grouped with this fellow was truly shameful!

“Cannot eat or sleep? Mister Mo, yesterday afternoon you ate two whole roasted chickens, a set of braised pork, three plates of braised meatballs, and a large pork leg all by yourself.” Ling Chuxi recited the menu and then added thoughtfully, “Oh yes, and also two bowls of plain rice.”

Xie Wuji and the others wiped the cold sweat off their foreheads. This… Wasn’t this too much? So this was the reason why Nan Xia Country had not prospered all these years… It must have been made poor by his eating!

“Hehe, you have quite a good memory, don’t you?” Mo Kongyuan also wiped his forehead and said with an awkward smile.

“Mister Mo, it is not that I am declining. With my experience and cultivation, it is truly hard to take on such a huge responsibility. Furthermore, I’m sure you know, in some aspects, it would not be good if I became a guardian,” Ling Chuxi said sincerely.

What she meant was not only the matter of the Nine Gloom Absolute Meridian, it also included the Cang Yuan Sword. It was just that Mo Kongyuan and the rest knew the former but not the latter.

“Ah, forget it. Since you wish to see me exhausted, then just let me work hard for a couple of years more.” Mo Kongyuan shook his head helplessly. He had long known about the hidden dangers of the Nine Gloom Absolute Meridian, and constantly reminded Ling Chuxi to keep it a secret, so he did not pressure her.

Back then, he had chosen Ling Chuxi as his successor so there would be a backup plan for Nan Xia Country in case anything happened to him. However, he did not wish for this precise reason to bring even greater danger to Nan Xia Country.

If Ling Chuxi told him about the Cang Yuan Sword, he would not even have mentioned this matter at all today.

“Little brat, you actually have your own opinions on this matter, right?” Mo Kongyuan asked Fu Huayi.

Ling Chuxi looked at the new empress. She also wished to know how much Fu Huayi had grown .
