Volume 6: Demons Rise from the East Sea Chapter 389: Ruthless
After hearing Xu Zun's words, Ku Niang's face remained expressionless.
However, Ku Niang did not answer Xu Zun's question.
"You may be curious about how I know this," Xu Zun said calmly, "but the answer is really simple , that is, I know you too well!
“The moment you saw Mosha, even though there was almost no reaction on your face, I could feel the fluctuations in your heart.
"Also, there was a subtle change in your eyes at that time, and that was the first time I saw that kind of change in your eyes.
"Therefore, I am very sure," Xu Zun stared at Ku Niang and said, "You know Mosha, and you also know your past!"
After saying that, Xu Zun closed his mouth and waited quietly.
However, there was still no ripple on Ku Niang's face, and her eyes were fierce and deep, just as usual.
After waiting for a long time, Xu Zun said again: "Kuniang, I said you are my family, and it will never change. No matter what your past is, it will not affect my feelings for you.
"But, there is one thing I hope you can give me an answer to, because this answer..." Xu Zun asked, "is related to our future!"
Hearing this, Ku Niang's eyes flickered.
Although she didn't say anything, Xu Zun could feel that Ku Niang was asking, "What's the matter?"
"When the female assassin with the Blood Evil Palm killed Crown Prince Li Xun," Xu Zun asked very seriously, "you didn't deliberately stand by and watch, right?"
Suddenly, Ku Niang's eyes flashed again, obviously surprised by Xu Zun's question.
"I know you were seriously injured at the time," Xu Zun asked in a deep voice, "but I need to know, are you really unable to save the prince because of your injury, or did you deliberately not save him?"
After asking, Xu Zun fell silent again and looked at Ku Niang without blinking.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Finally, Ku Niang opened her mouth slightly and said faintly: "Is this question very important?"
"Yes!" Xu Zun nodded, "Very important!"
"No," Ku Niang said, "I really couldn't save him at that time!"
"Oh..." Xu Zun was dazed for a few seconds, then his mind raced and he began to savor the deeper meaning.
"Do you..." Ku Niang seemed to have guessed something and asked, "Do you think I'm the Queen Mother's man?"
This time, it was Xu Zun's turn to remain silent.
Indeed, the reason why Xu Zun asked this was that he suspected that Ku Niang was also the Queen Mother's person.
If so, then whether or not to save the prince depends on the attitude of the queen mother.
Ku Niang's failure to save the prince showed that the Queen Mother also wanted the prince to die. In this way, there might be a chance for her to return to the capital to report.
But now Ku Niang gave a negative answer, which means that the attack on the prince is still unclear.
Seeing that Xu Zun did not comment, Ku Niang suddenly broke free from Xu Zun and put her white palm on Xu Zun's face.
Suddenly, the air seemed to freeze, and a suffocating fear filled the air.
Feeling the cold palm, Xu Zun knew that if Ku Niang exerted even a little force, his face would be gone.
However, Xu Zun did not show any fear and just quietly let Ku Niang caress him.
While stroking, Ku Niang moved close to Xu Zun's cheek, her lips almost touching Xu Zun's nose, as if she was a replica of what Xu Zun did to Zhao Yu just now.
"You know," Ku Niang placed her hand on Xu Zun's chin and said quietly, "When you sang to me, I almost lost my singing skills!"
oh?
Xu Zun suddenly moved, sensing something, and immediately said, "If you want to listen now, you can sing anytime!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Zun didn't dare to move anymore, because Ku Niang's two fingers were already on his eyelids.
" Nothing seems to be hidden from these eyes!"
If it were an ordinary person, he would have been scared to death, but Xu Zun kissed Ku Niang's palm and then put on an attitude of listening attentively.
Sure enough, Ku Niang slowly withdrew her hand and said with deep eyes: "Lanshan is a deep mountain in Xiazhou legend, and it also means the peak."
Lanshan?
Xu Zun reacted quickly and said immediately: "Three of the four must die before we can reach Lanshan, which means three of them must die before we can reach the peak?"
"Our master is Ruan Changkong." Ku Niang finally got to the point, "Mosha and I are twins, and at that time, there was another pair of twins, Guisha and Xuesha.
"We have been practicing a primitive secret technique since we were young, which is the method of breathing in the dark that I told you about. Ruan Changkong also soaked us in a potion for half a day every day..."
Gurgle... Xu Zun swallowed his saliva. These few short words were so terrifying that one could give off goose bumps when thinking about them carefully.
"In just a dozen years, we have become excellent killing weapons," Ku Niang said, "with no emotions, no sense of pain, cold-blooded and merciless, killing people without hesitation.
"Four sons left three, and then we saw Lanshan. I don't know where this rumor came from, which made the four of us suspicious of each other, and eventually I killed the three of them. I just don't know how Mosha came back to life..."
Gurgle, Xu Zun swallowed his saliva again, and once again felt the power of Ku Niang, the Leng Sha.
"When Master found out, he was furious and punished me by forcing me to practice in an iron coffin, cultivating the highest realm of the Dark Breathing Technique - Ten Thousand Merciless!"
Damn, no way?
Xu Zun gained several points of knowledge in an instant.
Iron...iron coffin?
How...how could this happen?
"The so-called ruthlessness," Ku Niang said, "is just like when you first met me, you have no perception of the world, often hovering on the edge of life and death, so as to feel the creation and stimulate energy.
"If this skill can be perfected, not only can the power be greatly increased, but also the life span can be prolonged!"
No way?
Xu Zun frowned and thought to himself, this kind of training method doesn't seem to exist in martial arts novels? It doesn't conform to scientific laws?
"You mean..." Xu Zun couldn't help asking, "Your master put you in an iron coffin? What's going on with that iron coffin?"
"Didn't I explain it clearly enough?" Ku Niang said, "My master put me in an iron coffin to punish me. From then on, my life and death were decided by God.
“Otherwise…” Ku Niang shook her hair lightly, revealing the scar on the side of her ear, “I wouldn’t have become like this!”
"Then..." Xu Zun was distracted and asked, "Have you mastered the Wanshang Wuqing Dafa?"
"It would have been fine, but unfortunately I met you!" Ku Niang said, "If I hadn't heard you singing and those obscene words you said, maybe I could have reached a higher level!"
Gulp, Xu Zun swallowed his saliva for the third time, and then corrected: "It's just a little bit corny, how can it be considered vulgar?"
"You rest your head on my thigh every night. If that's not obscene, what is that?"
"Then... this..." Xu Zun was speechless and simply said, "Well, wretched growth is also a kind of growth."
"However, these past two years have not been in vain," Ku Niang said, "If not for this, I would never have been able to resist Gongsun Yelang and his three companions in Wanfu Palace.
"Gufeng Island, I would never have survived under Wang Dian's hands. And yesterday..." Her eyes flashed with rare excitement, "Mosha's martial arts have indeed improved a lot, and he should also be practicing Wanshang Wuqing, but he has more experience than me, and he is very murderous..."
"Well, um..." Xu Zun couldn't help but interrupt, "Kuniang, I don't understand. When your master put you into the iron coffin, was there anyone else in the iron coffin?"
