Demon Wang's Golden Favorite Fei

by La Mi Tu

  “Wangye1, I didn’t deliberately keep it a secret from you (TLNote: uhm…you did)!” Murong Qi Qi’s eyes were full of guilt, making Feng Cang feel heartache.

  “Qing Qing, don’t be afraid. You have me!”

  Inside Li Qiu Shui’s eyes, Feng Cang’s gentleness was a great mockery. “Qi Qi, take down your Water Moon Mirror. Let your (maternal) grandmother, your (maternal) uncle, right, and your biological big brother see your true appearance!”

  Listening till here, Murong Qi Qi’s heart sank. She completely went cold. Sure enough, sure enough it was like this! She didn’t expect her small trace of hope had been buried alive by Li Qiu Shui.

  The people were more puzzled after hearing Li Qiu Shui say that. Seeing that Murong Qi Qi still didn’t take down the Water Moon Mirror, Li Qiu Shui’s hands flew at Murong Qi Qi’s face and wanted to seize the thing on her face.

  Murong Qi Qi had long been prepared for Li Qiu Shui’s sudden attack. Just as Li Qiu Shui’s hands was about to fell on her face, Murong Qi Qi grabbed Li Qiu Shui’s hands and fixed her there.

  That Murong Qi Qi knew martial arts was outside of Li Qiu Shui’s expectation. Seeing the coldness in Murong Qi Qi’s eyes, Li Qiu Shui laughed, “What, you don’t dare to take it off? Be good! Let mother help you take down the Water Moon Mirror!”

  “You’re not my mother!” Murong Qi Qi kicked Li Qiu Shui chest. Li Qiu Shui backed and fell at a distance.

  “Cough, cough!” Her chest felt pain. Li Qiu Shui coughed blood. “You’re indeed Feng Xie and Ming Yue’s daughter. You actually lied to everyone about having martial arts!”

  “What about that I have martial arts?!”

  Murong Qi Qi stood up like a gallant martyr and walked to the centre of the hall.

  “What’s the matter, ah?!” Lin Ke Xin was muddleheaded. “What (maternal) grandmother and uncle? What are you talking about?!”

  “Let her say it, ah! Hahaha! When she takes down the Water Moon Mirror, you would see and would understand everything!” While Li Qiu Shui was laughing, the corners of her mouth were bleeding. However, she seemed as if she couldn’t feel the pain. It was as if now was her happiest moment.

  Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Murong Qi Qi knew that she couldn’t cover this matter up today. It seemed that she could only face reality.

  Murong Qi Qi raised her hand and removed the Water Moon Mirror from her face, revealing her original face.

  “Ah…” The crutch with a dragon head in Dongfang Lan’s hand fell with a ‘bang’ on the ground. “Ming Yue, you are, Ming Yue…”

  Wanyan Lie was also stunned. He collected so many women who looked like Wanyan Ming Yue, but none could be compared to the person in front of him. That is Ming Yue’s face, that is Ming Yue’s brows, that is Ming Yue’s nose, that is Ming Yue’s lips, even the aura from her body was Ming Yue’s…

  “Qing Qing…”

  Feng Cang’s heart beat very fast. So, so, it was like this… “No wonder you refused…” Feng Cang didn’t finish his words, but he and Murong Qi Qi understood the meaning of those words.

  “Wangye, I also only got to know the day before yesterday and didn’t keep it deliberately from you.” Murong Qi Qi was afraid that Feng Cang would misunderstood and quickly explained, “I truly didn’t do it intentionally.”

  “Hahahaha!” Seeing Murong Qi Qi like this, Li Qiu Shui laughed the hardest. She was also the happiest person, “Feng Xie! Did you see?! Your daughter married your son! Hahaha! Your biological daughter became you son’s wife, did you see?!”

  Li Qiu Shui’s words answered the questions in everyone’s heart.

  “What did you say? You said, she’s Ming Yue’s daughter?” Wanyan Lie rushed to her and grabbed her hand, “That child is still alive, isn’t it? You took away that child? That child is her, isn’t it?”

  “Hahaha! That’s right! I took her away! I strangled my own daughter and let her take the place of my daughter to be raised in Murong household. I let her get the surname Murong and let her become the third miss Murong! Hahaha!”

  Li Qiu Shui laughed till she cried. She looked viciously at Murong Qi Qi. All her emotions could only be described with the word ‘hate’. “You’re not my biological daughter. Your father was Bei Zhou’s great general Feng Xie. Your birth mother is Wanyan Ming Yue. Now, you know your identity!”

  “Why? Why did you do it?” Although she guessed that perhaps this matter had something to do with Li Qiu Shui, but Murong Qi Qi couldn’t find the reason why Li Qiu Shui hates Feng Xie and Wanyan Ming Yue. Could there be something more inside this?

  “Why? You ask me why?”

  As if she heard the biggest joke, Li Qiu Shui struggled and got away from Wanyan Lie’s grab. She wiped the blood from her mouth and walked to Murong Qi Qi, “Because Wanyan Ming Yue stole the man I loved! Because Feng Xie chose Wanyan Ming Yue and abandoned me! Because they were like a couple of immortals. Because they were happy making me envy and hate them!”

  The original beautiful face of Li Qiu Shui because of the hatred from her eyes, the harmony of her face was destroyed. And her words let the whole crowd be shocked. So, it was like that…

  Everyone was in a huge shock. Wanyan Lie looked full of disbelief at Murong Qi Qi. His gaze was complex…

  Once, he hoped very much for Ming Yue to give birth to a daughter like Ming Yue. Then he would give this child his whole love (not love between man and woman) and let her become the happiest person in this world. It was just, when Li Qiu Shui brought back Ming Yue, Ming Yue’s bulged belly had long flattened.

  He thought that child died and was sad for a long time because of it. However, when Murong Qi Qi was standing so alive in front of him with Ming Yue’s face and Feng Xie’s eyes, Wanyan Lie felt that his dead heart began to beat again.

  “Do you know why I named you Qi Qi? Because you were born on the seventh of July! Double seven festival (Chinese valentine), the day the cowherd and the weaving maid meet. Ming Yue used all her strength to give birth to you. She entrusted you to me and wanted to me to bring you back to Bei Zhou and hand you to the empress dowager.”

  Murong Qi Qi (慕容七七): 七七(qiqi) is seven seven.

  “Haha, she’s so silly! She actually regarded me as her best friend and thought I would help her achieve her wish, so she could go to the underworld to meet Feng Xie. I won’t let her wish come true! Feng Xie died. I will not let her accompany Feng Xie, because she’s not qualified! So, I took you! I waited for today; waited to have your name go down in history as a byword for infamy!”

  Li Qiu Shui’s voice was with crazy laughter and tears fell from her eyes. She endured for so many years just to wait for today!

  “You’re so vicious! You even murdered your own daughter!” Murong Qi Qi completely understood everything. A woman, because of hatred caused by love, became so extreme.

  “Bah! That child is not my daughter!” Li Qiu Shui turned her head slightly and looked at Murong Qi Qi, “I will only give birth to the child of the man I love, but he didn’t love me and married someone else. So, I made a promise to myself to never give birth to the child of another man. Since I got pregnant, then I could only be ruthless!”

  “Shui er1, what did you say? You said you truly murdered our child?” A voice came. Murong Tai appeared in front of everyone with an expression of disbelief, “Tell me, what you said is not true!”

  Everyone was surprised at seeing Murong Tai. No one expected that Xi Qi’s dignified prime minister would pretend to be Longze Jing Tian’s servant and followed him here. If it wasn’t because he took down the human skin mask on his face, no one would have noticed.

  “You followed me?”

  Seeing Murong Tai, aside from surprise, Li Qiu Shui felt anger, “Murong Tai, when have you become like this? You actually followed me? You’re too despicable! I didn�
��t think you’re such a person!”

  “You left in a hurry. I was worried that something would happen to you. That was why I followed you. I didn’t think, you’ll come to Yan capital. Tell me, everything you just said weren’t true! Qi Qi is our child, not Feng Xie’s. Tell me, Qi Qi is our biological daughter!”

  Murong Tai clutched Li Qiu Shui’s hand and shook it desperately. He tailed behind her but he had never expected to hear these things. The woman he loved his whole life actually murdered their child. She also said such things. Murong Tai really couldn’t believe it!

  This must be Li Qiu Shui’s angry words. It must be like this! Qi Qi is certainly their child; how would she suddenly become Feng Xie’s and Wanyan Ming Yue’s child? What had happened for her to say that? Could it be that he did something wrong?

  “Shui er, tell them. Tell them you’re lying to them. What you said is not the truth! Qi Qi is my daughter! She’s my daughter!”

  “F*** off!” Although injured, but Li Qiu Shui was someone who practiced martial arts and therefore a lot stronger than the weak scholar Murong Tai. With one palm, she pushed Murong Tai to the ground, “Don’t touch me with your filty hands! Making me feel disgusted!”

  Li Qiu Shui’s words deeply hurt Murong Tai. Even though he’s a man, but Murong Tai’s eyes had a layer of wetness. She felt he’s disgusted? Why was it like this? Could this be the reason why she had been staying in the temple?

  “Tell me, it’s not true! Tell me, Qi Qi is our child!”

  “Hahaha!”

  Murong Tai’s words were like a joke to Li Qiu Shui. She walked to Murong Tai like a queen. She looked condescending at him. Her eyes were full of contempt, “You’re only a poor country boy. You only had a good face and your study was so so. Do you think that as Li clan’s eldest miss, I would fancy you?!”

  “Murong Tai, if it wasn’t because of me and the Li family behind me, you would only be a fallen scholar and would be cultivating and hoeing the field at that poor place of your home. At most, you would be a poor teacher. What could you do? Who do you think you are?”

  “Do you think you’re a cut above others after putting on the prime minister’s robe? Without me, you’re nothing!”

  “I…,” Murong Tai’s lips trmbled. He had never expected that he was so unbearable in Li Qiu Shui’s heart. Although, when Li Qiu Shui picked him, it let him be in fear and excitement for a long time. Murong Tai once thought that marrying Li Qiu Shui was the biggest blessing in his life. However, he never thought that Li Qiu Shui looked at him this way.

  “Murong Tai, I tell you, I’ve never ever loved you! Qi Qi is not your daughter and Xue Lian is also not! I don’t love you and also won’t have children for you. I never will! Do you know why every time after you touched me, I would take a bath? You thought that it was because I’m a lady and pay attention to this. I tell you, you’re wrong! I just hate the fact that on my body there’s another man’s smell. Dirty, so dirty…”

  Murong Xue Lian is Murong Tai’s eldest daughter. The imperial noble consort of Xi Qi.

  This last sentence from Li Qiu Shui truly defeated Murong Tai.

  His long thoughts and memories which lasted for sixteen years, because of this ‘never will’ from Li Qiu Shui, were broken. So, all those lingering and love from her were a pretence. So, in her heart, she had always thought about Feng Xie and couldn’t put Feng Xie down. So, he was the fool. For so many years, he foolishly waited for her!

  “Since you don’t love me, why did you marry me?” This time, Murong Tai’s figure looked very sorry. When Li Qiu Shui told him the truth, his heart had been defeated. In a moment, he seemed to have aged a lot; his face paled and his expression deteriorated.

  At this point, the thing Murong Tai was concerned about, was not his face of being a country’s prime minister. The things that truly hurt him were those heartless and harsh words of Li Qiu Shui and that Li Qiu Shui had never loved him!

  Murong Tai didn’t lose hope and wanted to get to the bottom of it. Li Qiu Shui sneered, “Because you were docile and obedient, because you didn’t have any background and power. If you wanted to get more powerful, you needed to rely on me. You couldn’t get out of my grasp…and because, you were willing to be my dog; willing to listen to my every call and willing to be manipulated by me! Do…you understand now?!”

  ‘Bang…’ Murong Tai who originally stood up got dizzy. Once again, he fell on the ground. Seeing him being so ‘useless’, the ridicule and contempt on Li Qiu Shui’s face got more intense.

  “Tsk, tsk, look at you, truly a spineless coward! Since I spoke till here, I may as well tell you. I picked up Xue Lian. She’s not a child I had with you. The moment that child was born, I let people threw her away. I will not give birth to children of the man I don’t love! Especially you! Because you’re not worthy!”

  On the scene, no matter if it was a country’s monarch Wanyan Lie or empress dowager Dongfang Lan, they all had been shocked by Li Qiu Shui’s words. There was actually such a vicious woman, actually… (Authors note: please allow Rabbit’s loss of vocabulary, Rabbit truly have no way to describe aunt Qiu Shui’s sick mind).

  The author’s penname is Candle Wax Rabbit. She always uses Rabbit to describe herself

  The only one who kept her calm was Murong Qi Qi, the involved party. Murong Qi Qi had never thought that the truth was like this. Looking at the beautiful middle-aged woman dressed in black clothes on the scene, Murong Qi Qi walked step by step to her.

  “Because you loved Feng Xie and couldn’t get his love, that was why you planned all of these? That was why, before I married, you told me to get pregnant quickly and also put aphrodisiac fragrance on the wedding dress?”

  “You found out?” Li Qiu Shui chuckled at Murong Qi Qi cleverness, “However, it seemed that you discovered too late! Now, it’s too late! I heard you consummated the marriage with Feng Cang yesterday, hahahaha…hahahaha…”

  “I’m so happy! I’ve never been so happy before! If Wanyan Ming Yue knew her daughter and son married and consummated the marriage, would she jump out of the coffin from anger?! Would she not be peaceful in the afterlife? This is the price for taking away the man I love! Hahahaha!”

  Hearing Li Qiu Shui’s words, Dongfang Lan became dizzy and almost fainted. Qing Gu quickly lent her an arm of support, “Empress dowager, empress dowager, what’s the matter?”

  “I…,” A breath choked in Dongfang Lan’s heart. The breath couldn’t go up nor down.

  Just the thought of the redness on the handkerchief, Dongfang Lan almost fainted. Heavens, what did she do so wrong to receive such punishment?! Her daughter and son-in-law died a tragic death; the wife her grandson married is actually her biological granddaughter. No matter who, when they receive such news, no one would be able to bear it.

  “Grandmother!” Seeing Dongfang Lan like that, Murong Qi Qi went forward to support her. Her small hands were on the elder’s back. A warmth appeared through Dongfang Lan’s chest.

  After a while, Dongfang Lan was able to breath.

  “Qi Qi…” Dongfang Lan held Murong Qi Qi’s hand. Her tears fell. “No wonder aijia2 felt that you looked familiar. No wonder aijia felt your eyes looked like someone I knew and felt close to you. What aijia didn’t expect is that you’re my biological granddaughter. My pitiful child, ah…”

  Dongfang Lan’s tears let Li Qiu Shui be greatly satisfied. Her mouth was raised in an exaggerated ridiculing arc. She stared at Dongfang Lan who was crying in Murong Qi Qi’s arms, “I heard you consummated the marriage. Hahaha. Congratulations! You’re the first couple in this world, ah!”

  “Shut up!” Wanyan Lie roared and interrupted Li Qiu Shui. Such a result was truly outside of his expectations. Murong Qi Qi is actually Wanyan Ming Yue’s daughter and is his niece. Wanyan Lie’s heart was couldn’t bear it. Now, Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi even…

  “Shut up? What I said is the truth! Could it be that if I don’t say it, this matter wouldn’t exist?!”

  “Not ne
cessarily…” Feng Cang’s was cool with a trace of chilliness.

  Seeing that the one who spoke was Feng Cang who remained silent for a long time, Li Qiu Shui was happy, “What, do you dare to say that between you there’s no feelings? Do you dare to say that nothing happened between you? Do you dare to say that you didn’t consummate the marriage?”

  “I’m sorry to disappoint you. Last night, benwang3 didn’t feel well and couldn’t consummate the marriage. The thing on the handkerchief is the blood benwang got from a pigeon and isn’t like what you think.”

  “What?” Several people said this at the same time. It was different people, but all of their voices revealed a trace happiness from being surprised. Among them was Longze Jing Tian and Wanyan Hong.

  Long, when Murong Qi Qi took down the Water Moon Mirror, Longze Jing Tian recognized her…Du Xian Er.

  The woman he had been searching for was in fact in front of him. Besides, he also fell in love with the ordinary her. This made Longze Jing Tian couldn’t help but to exclaim in admiration at the fate of this world. It turned out that Murong Qi Qi is truly Du Xian Er. She actually played him and toyed with him in the palm of her hand. He almost missed her!

  Just now, Longze Jing Tian had been carefully recalling when he had offended Murong Qi Qi. In the end, he finally remembered. It was when they met the first time; after she saved him, he said that he needed to break off the engagement and get rid of that rubbish of the prime minister’s. Presumably, she must’ve heard this and got revenge on him like this!

  Just now, when he saw Murong Qi Qi’s true appearance, Longze Jing Tian almost stopped breathing. That day, it was night. Under the moonlight, she was like a pure lily. Today, wearing a red palace robe, she was like a rose with thorns, making people unable to stop themselves from loving her. Just now, when he listened to Li Qiu Shui, Longze Jing Tian’s heart almost went up his throat.
