Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 1598: Chapter 840: Madam Miao

Fortunately, Uncle Gu is emotionally oblivious, with a heart as hard as stone, and hasn’t taken a liking to Hua Ruyu, otherwise he’d be wearing a massive green hat.

Blind dates are truly treacherous.

Mo Hua sighed inwardly.

But speaking of which, the terms these two adulterers use for each other do make Mo Hua pay some attention.

Water Yama calls Hua Ruyu ”Miaoer.”

Miaoer...

Earlier at the ferry, Water Yama also said this carriage belongs to ”Miaoer.”

Is this Hua Ruyu’s maiden name?

Mo Hua shook his head slightly.

”I fear it’s not that simple, and moreover, this name feels somewhat familiar...”

He furrowed his brows and thought for a moment, then his heart skipped a beat as he recalled.

Back when he killed Boss Jiang, on the list he seized from him, there were many Sin Cultivators’ aliases:

”Poison Raksha, Fireworker Chief, Gold Arhat, Flower Gentleman, Human Butcher, Blood Woodcutter, Yin Thunder Child, Madam Miao, Ghost Face Sha, Crossing River Dragon...”

These Sin Cultivators were either caught or killed, and Mo Hua had thoroughly ”cleansed” them when earning rewards for merit points.

Now there are very few Sin Cultivators left on the list.

Among the few who slipped through, there is one called ”Madam Miao.”

Madam Miao... Miaoer...

Mo Hua suddenly understood.

No wonder, despite capturing Sin Cultivators for so long, he hadn’t run into the one called ”Madam Miao”—turns out she was hiding within the Sect, outwardly just an instructor...

And Hua Ruyu calls Water Yama ”Master Xie”...

Could this ”Xie” possibly be the ”Xie” from the Xie family of Gui Water Sect?

Mo Hua remembered that Uncle Gu previously had a defeated foe, none other than a Golden Core Sword Cultivator from the Xie family of Gui Water Sect.

So, does this mean Water Yama is actually from the Xie family of Gui Water Sect, only never publicly revealing his identity?

As Mo Hua pondered, the two inside the room were already unable to restrain their affection, whispering sweet nothings.

After some time of intimacy, Water Yama said to Hua Ruyu:

”You say you miss me, but I fear it’s otherwise. I’ve heard you’ve recently found a new lover, could it be you’re tired of me and don’t want to see me anymore?”

Hua Ruyu’s eyes fluttered flirtatiously as she gazed at Water Yama, ”Just a performance, he’s a fool with only good looks, lacks finer feelings, like a stone, never as considerate as you, keeping me longing in my heart...”

Hua Ruyu’s heart swayed, unable to resist pulling Hua Ruyu into his arms again, cherishing her for a while, yet unable to let go, he asked:

”Who is that man, what’s his background?”

Hua Ruyu replied: ”He’s a Supervisor from the Taoist Court, with Golden Core cultivation.”

Upon hearing this, Water Yama’s expression gradually changed, ”Supervisor, Golden Core? What’s his name?”

Unaware of Water Yama’s thoughts, Hua Ruyu simply asked: ”Are you jealous?”

Water Yama shook his head, ”Tell me.”

Hua Ruyu then replied, ”His surname is Gu, named Gu Changhuai.”

The moment ”Gu Changhuai” was mentioned, Water Yama’s eyes suddenly widened, word by word, he spat angrily: ”Gu Changhuai...”

Seeing his unusual expression, Hua Ruyu asked puzzledly: ”What’s wrong?”

Water Yama’s face twitched, he said bitterly: ”It’s him who severed my arm!”

Hua Ruyu’s expression changed, murmuring: ”How could it be...”

”Did he approach you with another scheme?” Water Yama’s eyes sharpened.

Hua Ruyu frowned, and after reflecting for a moment, shook her head:

”I suspected it before, but later dismissed the idea. He was introduced to me long ago by an aunt from the clan, but he’s been evasive, claiming he’s too busy with affairs from the Taoist Court, hence we haven’t met.”

”Later, possibly pressed by the elders in the clan, he agreed to meet me a few times.”

”To say he schemed to approach me intentionally, he wouldn’t have started so early, dragging it for so long.”

”Moreover, Gu Changhuai doesn’t seem quick-witted at all. He’s rigid, not talkative, and his demeanor is cold and distant, clearly an uninteresting commoner. If not for his handsome appearance, decent family background, and cultivation, I wouldn’t even bother with him.”

Water Yama’s heart was set at ease, but hearing Hua Ruyu repeatedly mention Gu Changhuai’s looks, he couldn’t help feeling a bit jealous.

”If he’s such an uninteresting person, why have you seen him so many times?”

Hua Ruyu sighed slowly, ”There’s no other way. Our relationship can’t be made public, and both the clan and Sect assume I’m alone, drawing some criticism. They arranged blind dates for me, I couldn’t refuse, but it’s merely to appease them, my heart is still only for you...”

Hua Ruyu’s body pressed tightly against Water Yama, ”Both my body and heart are yours.”

Embracing the soft jade, Water Yama’s heart fluttered, no longer caring, simply smiled and said:

”Then one day, when I become Golden Core, and kill Gu Changhuai, you won’t be upset.”

Hua Ruyu playfully said: ”If he’s dead, it’ll save me an eyesore of trouble.”

Then she looked at Water Yama’s empty arm, her gaze pained, ”Will your arm grow back?”

Water Yama’s eyes filled with hate, ”That Gu, though he’s a fool, his cultivation stands strong. I was at the Third Grade Territory when he slashed my arm with his Golden Core cultivation, wind-system spiritual power lingered in the wound like blades, cutting the flesh and bones, I’ve tried everything, but with little effect.”

Hua Ruyu lamented: ”Then won’t you have only one arm for the rest of your life?”

Water Yama’s hatred for Gu Changhuai deepened in his heart, turning to see Hua Ruyu’s face full of worry, he couldn’t help but pull her by the waist and tease:

”Even with only one hand, I’ll hold you tight and never let go.”

Hua Ruyu gently pinched him, ”Smooth talker.”

”You don’t like it?”
