Chapter 392: Jing Ni is Not Jing Ni, So What Place Is This?
Li Mo’s surprised voice had barely faded when Wei Zhuang shot him a look.
That expression seemed to suggest, What’s there to be surprised about with what you did yourself?
“When I came here, you told me over and over to make sure to let him know about this matter, so why have you now forgotten such an important thing?”
Wei Zhuang scrutinized Jing Ni again, and the Shark Fang Sword was already itching for action.
“Was it a month and a half ago? Two months… could it be then?”
Li Mo rubbed his fingers, still pondering over the date that the Snow Woman might have gotten pregnant.
According to Wei Zhuang’s timeline, it ought to have been when he was teaching the Snow Woman martial arts at Fei Xue Pavilion.
During that time, they spent every day together, and naturally, those things that should happen eventually did.
He had mentioned this to Jing Ni before.
What Jing Ni implied was that the Snow Woman should return to the Mountain Courtyard.
But the Snow Woman herself didn’t want to.
Though she no longer performed on stage personally, she had grown accustomed to being around her sisters in Fei Xue Pavilion.
Li Mo didn’t press, only visiting her occasionally.
Wei Zhuang continued, “After I arrived in Loulan, I intended to tell you this, but I never found the right opportunity.”
After he returned to Loulan for the second time, Li Mo started preparing to blow up the Bronze Door.
Everyone had been working like they were on fire, so there really wasn’t a chance to discuss it.
Thus, in this entire Loulan City, only Wei Zhuang was aware of this situation.
When he first met Jing Ni, he had only felt a hint of surprise.
However, upon hearing her mention she had brought a large amount of explosives, he began to grow suspicious.
When he inquired about where the explosives came from, Jing Ni claimed they were brought back by Meng Tian from the border battlefield.
This response made him raise an eyebrow.
Before Li Mo came to Loulan, Meng Tian had indeed sent back good news.
But shortly thereafter, the Xiongnu armies regrouped and invaded the Qin border once more.
On his return, Wei Zhuang had also learned about Meng Tian requesting reinforcements from the court; how could things have wrapped up that quickly?
The series of red flags piled up, making Wei Zhuang realize that this Jing Ni was definitely problematic.
After prompting with earlier questions, he finally confirmed it.
This Jing Ni was a fake!
Otherwise, she shouldn’t know about such an important matter.
Li Mo cast a strange glance at Jing Ni.
He understood her deeply; he could recognize her just by the sound of her footsteps and the scent on her body without needing to see her.
Yet this Jing Ni before him, regardless of tone, demeanor, or figure, was indistinguishable from his wife.
“Madam, how do you explain this?”
Though reluctant to believe it, Li Mo was a rational person.
Before the matter was resolved, he wouldn’t make any emotional judgments.
Jing Ni hesitated for a moment, then suddenly released her grip on the sword, seemingly indicating, “Husband, you worry too much. The Snow Woman truly is pregnant. I thought Commander Wei had already informed you, but it seems you hadn’t heard, which is why I didn’t consider it.”
Upon hearing this, Li Mo nodded; her explanation was indeed reasonable.
Seeing his expression relax, she turned to look at Wei Zhuang, whose sword was still pointed at her.
“Commander Wei, the misunderstanding has been cleared; we should still prioritize saving Fei Yan and the others.”
Thinking this would make Wei Zhuang back down, to her shock, he instead sneered and lunged with the sword towards her face.
With contempt, he said, “Foolish.”
Jing Ni swiftly withdrew her sword, narrowly avoiding the strike as she leaped back.
The movements matched precisely with how Li Mo remembered Jing Ni fighting.
Wei Zhuang stepped forward, his sword tipped at the ground.
Coldly, he stated, “The Snow Woman has never been pregnant; she merely moved to the Mountain Courtyard for residence. And you never instructed me to relay any messages.”
The “Jing Ni” opposite him turned pale and was instantly furious.
It turned out that Wei Zhuang’s earlier questions were merely digging a pit for her, testing her.
The Snow Woman wasn’t pregnant, while she had just admitted to Wei Zhuang’s words!
This was something that couldn’t be explained away with words anymore!
Li Mo understood in an instant.
Good job, Wei Zhuang. You look like a blockhead, but who knew you had such a crafty side?
“Who are you, and why are you impersonating my wife?”
A chilling feeling rose in Li Mo’s heart.
If there was one weakness he had, it was definitely in regard to his wives.
He had zero defenses against them.
If not for Wei Zhuang sniffing this out, what might have happened between him and this fake Jing Ni if they were alone was simply unimaginable!
“Impersonating? Heh heh, hehehe…hahahaha!”
The “Jing Ni” before him laughed maniacally, as if possessed.
“I am not an impersonation; husband, I am your wife, the Jing Ni who swore vows with you in Han State, the one who helped bring down the Luo Network!”
“Bullsh*t! Who are you really?”
Li Mo erupted in anger.
This “Jing Ni” felt too real to him.
In his realm of perception, ordinary disguise techniques couldn’t fool him at all.
Even someone as skilled in transformation as the Black Jade Kirin couldn’t deceive him.
Yet this figure before him seemed identical to Jing Ni.
It was like the real Jing Ni had come!
But now, the other party’s behavior and responses clearly indicated that she was a fake!
“Jing Ni” didn’t answer his question but stared intensely at him.
Her gaze felt like a hunter eyeing its prey, making the chills run down his spine.
After a long pause, she finally spoke, “Do you know where you are right now?”
Li Mo and Wei Zhuang both frowned.
They were in Loulan, how could they not know?
Yet, clearly, the other party wouldn’t pose such a question lightly.
“Jing Ni” grimly said, “You will learn of the horrors here; this place is more terrifying than the Underworld! It’s a place that can make you wish you were dead, hahaha!”
Li Mo seethed, “Who are you?”
“Jing Ni” laughed uncontrollably, “You’ve traveled thousands of miles to find me but still don’t know who I am?”
Li Mo and Wei Zhuang gasped in realization, speaking in unison: “Chiyou Demon Spirit?”
“Hahaha, Lord of the Divine? Ha! Well then, you should enjoy the grand gift I’ve prepared for you!”
Having spoken these words, the Jing Ni that was a manifestation of the Chiyou Demon Spirit vanished into thin air like a mirage.
