Chapter 571: The Red Fairy’s Inner Demons
“The Golden Serpent King truly possesses extraordinary skills. I merely breathed a little louder, and you detected me.” A beautiful daoist nun smiled as she stepped out from the bamboo grove. Dressed in a pale yellow daoist robe, she was none other than the Red Fairy, Li Mochou.
Her voice was soft and melodious, her demeanor alluring. Her bright eyes and white teeth, combined with her porcelain-like skin, made her a stunning beauty. Without anyone noticing how she moved her feet, she gracefully floated to a position just one zhang away from Song Qingshu.
“Fairy, you’re too polite. With the bond between us, calling me Golden Serpent King is far too formal,” Song Qingshu remarked. He couldn’t help but marvel inwardly at the sight before him.
She gently waved the horsetail whisk in her hand, exuding an air of calm elegance. Her beautiful eyes sparkled, and her cheeks were tinged with a light blush. Anyone unaware of her true nature would never suspect she was a ruthless killer.
Li Mochou felt a flicker of irritation but maintained her serene smile. “And are you not being just as distant, addressing me as Fairy?”
Song Qingshu chuckled faintly. “You are charming and captivating, your beauty surpassing that of any flower. To call you Daoist Li would be too dull, and addressing you as Mochou might seem too frivolous. After much thought, I concluded that ‘Fairy’ suits you best.”
Li Mochou’s cheeks reddened slightly at his compliment. Throughout her life, only Lu Zhanyuan had praised her this way during her youth. After becoming the Red Fairy and gaining a fearsome reputation, people feared her too much to dare admire her beauty. Well, except for Yang Guo, who had also complimented her once before…
“Young Master Song flatters me. Even if I once had a trace of beauty, I’m far too old now to deserve the title of Fairy.”
Seeing the faint blush on her face, Song Qingshu exclaimed, “Whoever says you are old must be blind! Your skin is as fair as snow, smooth and tender, resembling a girl in her prime. Hmm, on second thought, it’s inappropriate to call you ‘Fairy.’ I should address you differently.”
