A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1809

Meanwhile, in Jiangdong, Yunzhou, Su Qian and Qiu Mucheng were out shopping.

The year-end holidays were coming, and the new year was about to arrive.

Therefore, the mall was decorated festively with red lanterns, while all sorts of year-end sales were being held.

"Mucheng, what do you think about this top? It costs only around ten thousand. When I saw it last month, it was priced at twenty to thirty thousand. I didn't expect it to be discounted by so much."

In front of a luxury store, Su Qian was trying on a beige-colored jacket. While doing so, she posed in all kinds of positions in front of the mirror to demonstrate her charm.

"Mmm-hmm, it looks good and suits your style," Qiu Mucheng replied with a smile.

Her smile was so soft that it managed to mesmerize everyone who walked past.

After all, both of them were the most beautiful sight inside the entire mall with their exquisite features, stunning figures, and dignified air.

Qiu Mucheng, in particular, looked like an angel walking amongst men.

Because of that, she was the center of attraction wherever she went.

In fact, some men who did well in their careers gathered their courage to chat her up.

However, Qiu Mucheng would always reply cordially, "I'm sorry, but I'm already married. My husband is both handsome and successful. More importantly, he's a hero."

Every time she said that, her eyes would glisten with pride and bliss.

"Mucheng, don't just stand there. Come and pick one too. The holidays are coming. Hence, that man of yours will definitely be home. Why don't you choose something pretty and sexy? You can then welcome him home in that."

Initially, Qiu Mucheng had no intention of buying any clothes, for she felt she had too many of them.

Nonetheless, she felt that Su Qian did have a point.

I need to flaunt my charm in front of him to remind that b*stard to come home more often, especially given how busy he is.

With that, the two best friends began to shop until they dropped.

They bought everything, including jackets, trench coats, dresses, heels, jeans, and many more.

Qiu Mucheng made sure that she did not leave out anything at all.

In fact, she even went to the lingerie store to purchase all sorts of stockings.

Watching her friend change from an innocent girl into a temptress, Su Qian could not help but laugh out loud.

"What are you laughing about?" Qiu Mucheng glared at her.

"Hehe, Mucheng, you have finally seen the light and know how to enjoy the pleasures of life. Evidently, marriage is the catalyst for a girl to mature. Do you remember the time when you would blush just at the mention of sexy clothing? Now, you have taken your own initiative to try." Su Qian giggled.

Qiu Mucheng's face flushed in response. "Not so loud! Besides, I don't really have a choice. That Dragon Master of mine is always away most of the time. If I don't give him a treat now and then, I'm afraid that he might even forget that he has a wife back home."

When she first got married to Ye Fan, she barely knew such things.

After many years of spending time with Su Qian, she gradually wised up to what was required of her.

Holding that thought, Qiu Mucheng was filled with guilt.

All other wives gave their husbands pleasure as a reward for the busy and dreary lives they led.

As for her, she felt bad for giving him too little pleasure.

Thus, she decided to change by becoming a minx in front of him and pleasure him until he could not have enough of her.

After hearing Qiu Mucheng's words, Su Qian shook her head with a smile.

"Look, what's so great about being married to the head of Jiangdong? It might look all glorious on the outside, but realistically, you're no different from being a widow. When I get married, I won't want a husband like yours. It's bad to have someone who's too successful," Su Qian ranted.

Qiu Mucheng rolled her eyes at herfriend. "I can't believe you. Back when Ye Fan was a nobody, you looked down upon him as a bum and coward. In fact, you pestered me to divorce him and marry someone influential. But now that my husband turns out to be capable and also the head of Jiangdong, you tell me I shouldn't be with someone successful? People like you deserve to be single for eternity!"

Su Qian stuck out hertongue and laughed awkwardly. "My dear friend, I'm just feeling indignant on your behalf, all right? Look at how Ye Fan has wasted your youth. All right, all right. I'll stop talking about it. Let's continue with our spending spree."

Su Qian towed Qiu Mucheng along, and with that, both girls carried on shopping.

Just when Qiu Mucheng responded with a smile, she suddenly felt her heart sink, followed by intense

squeezing pain.

Holding her chest while supporting herself by the wall, Qiu Mucheng began sweating profusely.

Given a fright, Su Qian asked in a panic, "Mucheng, what's wrong? Don't scare me..."

With her body trembling, she replied with a feeble voice, "I-I don't know. It's just that I suddenly felt a stinging pain in my heart as if I have been s-stabbed in it."

At that moment, her usually vibrant face had lost all color.

Meanwhile in Tokyo, Japan, in Sanshin Organization, Mochizuki Kawa, and others took turns to report the situation.

"Your Highness, the intruders have fled to the southeast. Our men are currently treating those who are injured."

Moon God's expression turned grim. "Pass down the order to seal the borders and prevent them from leaving Japan. For trespassing on our nation, I will slaughter them right here!" Her icy tone was filled with murderous intent.

With that, Moon God decided to head toward the southeast in pursuit of the Demonic Duo.

Just when she was about to do so, she felt a sudden emptiness in her heart.

She trembled a little, and a gut-wrenching pain descended upon her, causing her to almost collapse onto the ground.

"Your Highness?" Mochizuki Kawa asked anxiously.

Ignoring him, Moon God lowered her head and held onto her heart.

She, too, had no idea what was going on.

Where did this sudden sense of anguish come from?

The next moment, the answer dawned upon her.

Raising her gaze, she looked in the direction of China with a drastic change in expression. "Could it be that Master is-" Zing!

Suddenly, she felt a ringing in her mind.

Within the depths of her consciousness, she could feel Suzumiya Eigetsu's sorrow overwhelm her like a crashing wave.

By the time Mochizuki Kawa and the rest looked at her, tears were already streaming down her cheeks.

Whoosh!

In the midst of the clouds, Moon God dashed through the sky toward the northeast.

"Your Highness, you've gone the wrong way! The southeast is that way!" Mochizuki Kawa cried out.

However, they did not get any response, as no one could break Moon God's conviction.

On the flip side, Mount Chumen was exceptionally quiet, for all its best martial artists had been sent out.

Despite the tremendous size of the sect, only a few hundred men were left behind.

Nevertheless, Chu Zhengliang's cries of agony continued to ring out in the background.

Somewhere in the depths of the building, a distinguished figure with flaming red lips and striking eyebrows was sitting in a meditative posture, breathing calmly. She had a face that could launch a thousand ships.

However, she was confined to that space and could do nothing else but heal her injuries.

At the crucial moment of her recuperation, she suddenly shuddered before throwing up a mouthful of blood.

The next moment, she fell limp on the giant boulder she was on.

"Ye Fan... Ye Fan..."

With a pale expression, she felt a tsunami of emotions swallow her fragile heart from within.

Despite the injuries that covered her body, she continued calling out his name.

With tears dropping like rain, she wept.

Those galaxy-like eyes of hers were filled with boundless anguish.

At that very instant, she felt as if the world was

enveloped by darkness to the extent that there was no longer any light left in her life.
