Rumor was that Xu Xianliang made a deal with a devil in exchange for his beauty. At a young age, his face alone brought an end to two different nations and six powerful people. The people had dragged him out into the streets to be killed when a passing immortal saved him and took him to the master of Conglong Valley. Only the rumors did not die down as he grew, but began to become more and more outrageous over the years. They range from him being a wonton soul sucking demon to being the son of heaven and that he was born to save the world.
Not only was he a beauty but a cultivating genius who could grow any spiritual herb. Even those found naturally in the wild and claimed to be the best would be nothing compared to a spiritual herb that Xu Xianliang cultivated. It was said a single tear from Xu Xianliang, when added to any alchemy recipe could guarantee 100% purity and effectiveness without any side effects. There was even a rumor that said a single drop of his heart blood, when refined and consumed could increase a person's cultivation by a whole level.
From the moment he set foot in Conglong Valley, Xu Xianliang never mixed with the crowds again. His entire life was shrouded in rumors and secrets that even his older shixiongs and shijie had to regularly beat down the cultivators who tried to kidnap him. It was not until he personally released the news that he was leaving Conglong Valley to go into secluded cultivation that there was finally silence at the gates. Even then, the masses could only speculate at Xu Xianliang's beauty for he was covered entirely from head to toe.
That event had occurred so long ago that nowadays most people could say that he caused so much trouble for Conglong Valley in his life that he must have died as retribution for his sins.
"Did you die as retribution then?" Jiang Yuming interrupted.
Gao Guiren glared at Jiang Yuming before continuing with his story, "A few days after, on my way out of Conglong Valley, I got ambushed and fell through to the mortal world."
"Wait, there's a mortal world too?"
He lifted a hand to smack Jiang Yuming on the back of the head only to be stopped by his words.
"One should not raise their hands to hit their husband. What if you smacked a hole in my head and I really become stupid."
"Good then I can finally ditch you somewhere without fear of you following me." Guiren bickered back.
"Aiya, if my poor mother knew she bought me such a fierce wife would she pity me?"
Guiren rolled his eyes and smacked Jiang Yuming on the back of his head, "Didn't I tell you that the marriage is invalid and to stop calling me wife."
"I will do whatever my wife says."
"I swear I will throw you off the top of the mountain!"
"Ren-ge, aren't you embarrassed, raising your voice at your poor underage husband."
Gao Guiren could only swallow back a mouthful of blood, and restrain himself from strangling Jiang Yuming.
"Ah, it's a pity you died as Xu Xianliang, what a truly devastating beauty." Jiang Yuming said.
Even laid amongst the remains of Wu Wencheng, Xu Xianliang looked like he was the true owner of this massive tomb. His soft green robes with gold stitching along the hem looked like they cost a small fortune. A youthful plump face with strong sword brows and full lips was too captivating. The final cherry on top was the dark red beauty mark just on the outer edge of Xu Xianliang's left eye. One did not know if they should say he was handsome or that he was beautiful.
"Now I can understand why you would marry a dead body, I must have been just as alluring to you as Xu Xianliang is to me."
"Shameless." Gao Guiren spit out.
