Although Hua Qiyue and Yun Shimo had taught him swordsmanship and Qi Art, Tianci was still young. It was the first time he had seen such a strange beast and he was feeling a bit frightened.
But the evil beast only stared at him without moving forward.
Tianci blinked his eyes and looked at his surroundings. Many evil beasts were staring at him covetously.
What happened?
Tianci stroked his head. He remembered that he was on the street looking for his mother, when a mysterious man abducted him.
That mysterious man left an aggressive message: if she wants her son, let Hua Qiyue go to the Magic Beasts Forest!
After that, Tianci smelt a faint scent and fainted.
However, after his awakening, he did not discover that mysterious man. Instead, he was surrounded by all sorts of strange, evil beasts.
Tianci's heart started to thump wildly, his mind pivoting swiftly. He was trying to f
Tianci was immediately delighted upon hearing this. Striding out his little legs, he dashed toward Huangfu Shenglin. His young face was adorable. He seemed to have known Huangfu Shenglin before. Huangfu Shenglin gave a quiet smile. He pointed at the Qi Artist beside him. "Zongsheng, dismount and let Tianci sit on the horse." The Qi Artist named Zongsheng was quite unwilling. Yet he could not refuse since the Prince had explicitly asked him to. "Yes, Your Highness." Zongsheng acquiesced and leaped down the horse, motioning Tianci to get on. Tianci stared at him pitifully. "I... I don't know how to." Zongsheng became quite impatient, but he lifted the boy up the horse anyway. "Alright, alright, sit tight and don't fall." Tianci blinked his eyes, giving an extremely adorable smile. "Thank you, big brother." The young fellow had such a radiant smile. He looked as if he harbored not the leas
Tianci chuckled and touched his small head embarrassedly. "Everyone, pick up the Magic Cores on the ground quickly!" Tianci's one blow killed many high-level vipers. All the Qi Artists were drooling over these shiny Magic Cores. They were all eagerly awaiting Huangfu Shenglin's order. Once the order was issued, the company immediately dispersed with a loud hubbub. They started to pick up the Magic Cores left behind by the vipers. "This time, the Emperor will be pleased. There are so many Magic Cores here." Huangfu Shenglin remarked quietly. He opened the water bottles and sundries bag on his waist and handed Tianci a sesame seeds cake. It was a sesame seeds cake with spring onions made by the imperial chefs. Tianci smelt its fragrance and took it happily in his hands. He thanked Huangfu Shenglin, his large eyes welling and blinking with tears. The water in his eyes reflected the excitement of the surrounding Qi Artists.
"Qiyue, how could you? Prince Nan is an alchemist very much valued by His Majesty. Didn't he save your life? He is not only Tianci's benefactor but also yours! As the saying goes, one must repay a favour many times over. You shouldn't neglect Prince Nan even if you won't repay him!" The Old Madame was anxious. She doted on this granddaughter of hers, yet also felt angry with her at the same time. Hua Qiyue gave a helpless sigh and helped the Old Madame over to take her seat. "Grandma, you needn't worry. Maybe father and Prince Nan have something to discuss?" The Old Madame frowned slightly. Tianci ran over and pulled at her with a crisp laugh. "Great-grandma, Tianci will ask daddy here for supper!" The Old Madame heard him and started to beam with delight. Before Hua Qiyue could respond, Tianci had scampered away. Hua Qiyue watched his disappearing figure and kept shaking her head. This young fellow was getting more and more cu
Lv Xin was also freaked out because at this moment, Youshui was helping Tianci with his lesson! And that scream was from Youshui! Hua Qiyue rushed out of the courtyard as quick as lightning. But at the other side of the courtyard—Pavilion of Scholar, a huge black bird was picking up Tianci; unexpectedly, Tianci suddenly emitted a halo and it exploded, which made the black bird burn! As for Tianci, he fell from the air like a kite! Hua Qiyue felt hurt in her heart and immediately flew up to hold Tianci, who almost fell down the ground! "Caw, caw, caw..." the black bird cawed miserably. The black bird's huge body was burnt by something and with a puff sound, it suddenly turned into a pile of black ashes! Hua Qiyue held Tianci with her face becoming serious! There was a protective screen which was made by anima energy over the Hua's Mansion, but generally, the evil beasts at superior levels could break
The Eleventh Prince smiled slightly. He was a handsome man and once he smiled like this, he looked even more gentle and tender. If Ji Feng were compared to the sun, then the Eleventh Prince could be compared to a stove in winter. "Princess Jinghua is really clever. Indeed, I came here for a reason. I heard that the Hua's Mansion was attacked by an evil beast last night. is this true?" Hua Qiyue paused for a moment. She spread the news on purpose because she wanted the Emperor to know that someone was aiming to harm to the Hua's Mansion, so that the Changlong Emperor would be more alert. After all, a country had to depend on Qi Artists. If they all died, this country would be on the verge of extinction. "Yes, it is. Perhaps, Your Highness may know about the inside story, right?" Hua Qiyue said calmly and poured tea for Huangfu Shenglin. Although Huangfu Shenglin just took Tianci out incidentally, if h
Although Hua Qiyue wanted to cultivate herself, she couldn't refuse the First Prince's invitation since extended the invitation himself. More importantly, there might be good shows to see that night. Since Hua Qiyue responded unhesitatingly, the First Prince realized that Hua Qiyue wasn't arrogant though it was said that she was, supposedly difficult to get along with. 'As for the Eleventh Prince...' the First Prince thought insidiously, 'This woman will definitely belong to me. She will be either my official wife or my concubine.' He wanted all the women liked by the Eleventh Prince! Huangfu Changyu looked forward to seeing Huangfu Shenglin's extremely grieved and despairing expression. Hua Mengshi looked around secretly and found that Hua Xiaoyi was absent. Hua Mengshi asked her maidservant Surou about what happened to Hua Xiaoyi; Surou told her that Hua Xiaoyi was in bed because she had caught a slight cold.
After a while, Hua Mengshi left. Hua Xiaoyi sat quietly at the edge of her bed and was in a trance, staring at the blazing sun outside. Bingqing and Chun Xiang looked at each other and fetched a basin of water from the well outside, putting it at the bedside to lower the temperature. The water from the well was cool and limpid which rippled in the basin. Hua Xiaoyi looked at the water and dabbled her hands in it. Bingqing said at once, "Miss, don't do that. You haven't recovered from the cold, and dabbling in the water will... Besides, Miss, you should get well again so that you're able to take part in Flower Fair three days later." Hearing this, Hua Xiaoyi stopped dabbling in the water and leisurely dried her hands, saying, "Decoct the medicinal herbs, it's time to take medicine." Bingqing and Chun Xiang was very glad to hear this because Hua Xiaoyi had been always reluctant to take medicine and been angry about
Liu Mo's face became and he read something from his son's eyes, so, he was a little worried. "Shaoming, it depends on you this time. Hua Qiyue is the enemy of our family. Do you know that Princess Huizhen was framed by her? Besides, the Queen has already appointed someone to deal with her, but unfortunately, Hua Qiyue was too cunning..." "What?" Liu Shaoming cried and looked at Liu Mo in an incredible look. And then Liu Mo retold what Queen Liu had said. Liu Shaoming was extremely angry and said, "Why did she do this to the princess since we have no resentment with Hua Qiyue?" Liu Mo sighed slightly and said, "I don't know. But Hua Qiyue is indeed the strongest enemy of our family because she knows that the Queen intends to deal with her. Shaoming, if the Queen falls from power, then... we'll be treated as an eyesore by the Emperor who will definitely kill us! So, you'll do what Uncle Zhong tells you."
The Fiery Divine Tree wrapped its branches around the white jade vial. It was greatly shocked. "Is this... an Essence Pearl? Are you... are you imparting all your powers to her?" Tianpi raised his brows. "She's my disciple. So why not? If you won't do it, I still have enough energy to destroy this forest. You must know that I'm half-demonized. Even you won't be my match." The Fiery Divine Tree went silent. Then it sighed lightly. "Ah... Very well then, I shall make this trip for you. But... I'm still shocked by your act. This must be a penance over the Peach Fairy?" "Old fellow, you're a busybody!" Tianpi raised his brows, very displeased. A wicked smile hovered over his diabolically handsome face. "Set off at once. And don't tell her it's from me. Tell her it's your gift to her. That bird and that stinking lad won't know what it is..." The Fiery Divine Tree silently departed. Once it left, Tianpi leaned against the gigantic tr
"Mom, what's wrong?" While Hua Qiyue was frantically searching for Tianci, a familiar boyish voice made her turn her head at once. She saw Hua Zun pulling Tianci and watching her curiously. When he found Hua Qiyue all drenched in blood, Hua Zun was greatly shocked. Tianci hurriedly threw himself forward. Hua Qiyue saw him and embraced Tianci fiercely in her arms. "Go at once... go quickly. In a moment, he will be here, he will be here!" Hua Qiyue cried out in terror. Night had fallen. All around in the forest were dense, overlapping shadows. It seemed that Tianpi's figure was everywhere! He seemed to be here everywhere. His presence drove Hua Qiyue to extreme panic. "Qiyue, what's wrong? What happened?" Hua Zun was frightened and stunned. It took him a long time to recover. By then, Hua Qiyue had already lifted Tianci up and raced away from Hua Zun's sight. Hua Zun followed closely behind. They left
"Qiyue is not willing to consummate our relationship, nor am I willing to hurt her. Even though I've demonized... I still retain a shred of sanity. Yun Shimo, don't you have a whiff of Qi from the Purple Primordial Chaos Bead? Force that Qi out for me now!" Tianpi cruelly curled up the corners of his lips. He was laughing smugly, his bloodshot eyes glittering with chill. "Otherwise, I will do something you won't want to see..." After he said this, he kissed Hua Qiyue's raven hair. Yun Shimo suddenly and tightly clenched his fists. Hua Qiyue was gasping slightly. She had never expected Tianpi to act this way. If Yun Shimo refused, would he kill her? "Didn't you say you are unwilling to hurt her? So release her now! You want the Qi from the Purple Primordial Chaos Bead? I'll let you have it!" Yun Shimo did not hesitate at all. Although he hated Tianpi for acting so wickedly, he was even more afraid that Hua Qiyue wo
She had said repeatedly that she would not marry Yun Shimo but Tianpi. Yet right now, she could not but be concerned over him. She was really a cheap slut! Hua Qiyue took a step back and left, heading for Ice Palace in a distraught state. She was afraid she would involuntarily go near him if she had stayed another second. Only after Hua Qiyue ran away did Yun Shimo slowly turned his body. He watched the direction from which she had left and smiled a bitter smile. He thought that she would still show him some care. But she could not overcome the hurdle in her heart. Forget it then! Let her do what she likes! Yun Shimo was already under the tree for a day and a night. His whole body had turned numb thanks to the cold. It it weren't for the anima energy inside his body, he would have frozen to death. After thinking for a day and a night, Yun Shimo came to a conclusion. Let Hua Qiyue live her life as she
On his arm was his blood-drenched robe. Hua Qiyue silently took them. "Let me wash it for you. Have a good rest." A blissful smile unfolded on Tianpi's pale face. "Haha, lass, you're so understanding. Thank you." Hua Qiyue rolled her eyes at him. They were already at their wits' end and yet he had the gall to joke with her. After washing his robe, she lay it out to dry in the sun. Then she went into the kitchen to heat up the tonic he had yet to finish and brought it to him. Tianpi had not yet fallen asleep. He was sitting cross-legged silently on his bed. When he heard the noise, Tianpi opened his eyes. He found Hua Qiyue had already brought him the soup. Pursing his lips, he gave a light smile. "Lass, you're more and more virtuous. Why don't we get married? After all, you won't accept Yun Shimo." It was a joke but it made Hua Qiyue crease her brows softly. She gave no answer, serving him the soup i
The Sun Moon Deity fumbled inside his Storage Ring and finally fished out a scroll. Hua Qiyue immediately unfurled it. It contained a rune sealing art. Since she, Yun Shimo and the Sun Moon Deity all understood runes, it would not be too difficult to execute such a sealing art. "The requirement is that you must have reached the first level of Great Deity. I've just reached that level. So it shouldn't be a problem, right?" Hua Qiyue glanced at the scroll and then threw it to Tianpi. When Tianpi saw the procedure inside, his wan face showed indifference. "It doesn't matter. Let's try it." Hua Qiyue heard him and was exceptionally happy. After Tianpi had been resealed, he could come out after the demonic energy in his body cleared. Hua Zun was rather suspicious. "Will it work? The rune sealing art 10,000 years ago was very powerful. Hare, are you sure your scroll isn't a counterfeit?" The
Was that... the demonic energy? Wasn't there only a slight whiff of it? It seemed there was a lot of demonic energy. Hua Qiyue's heart began to worry. As Tianpi gave a muffled snort, her nerves began to tense. Red hair began to sprout slowly on Tianpi's face. He seemed like a monkey. He gave another muffled snort and a white circle of light condensed desperately in his hand. Tianpi struck that white light forcefully on his head. Instantly, the crimson light on his body waned somewhat. But his striking hand had opened up a large gash on his face. Blood trickled down... Hua Qiyue could not bear to look. She turned away her head forcefully and headed out. Tianpi claimed that he was fine in the day, but he was lying. He must have wanted her not to worry. After Hua Qiyue left, Tianpi managed successfully to curb that layer of demonic energy. But he knew that every midnight, he would suffer from its attack! When the dem
Hua Qiyue was gasping. She shook herself free of Yun Shimo's hand and her eyes were full of mounting anger. "He's already so poorly. So how can I not worry? Please get lost, Yun Shimo. It's none of your business!" Yun Shimo watched the exceptionally vexed Hua Qiyue and heaved a deep breath. "I will find him back." The moment Yun Shimo said this, Hua Zun also stepped out. "I will go too." He was afraid Yun Shimo would try some wicked scheme on Tianpi. Tianci pulled Hua Qiyue's hand. "Mom, I'd like to find Grandmaster too." "Be good, Tianci. We will stay here. In a moment, dad will bring your Grandmaster back." Yun Shimo glanced at Hua Qiyue and then departed Ice Palace with Hua Zun. Watching them disappear in an instant, Hua Qiyue's heart was disconcerted. Tianpi had left because he did not wish to harm her. But she was, after all, indebted to him for her reborn life. So how could she ju
Hua Qiyue frowned and said, very displeased, "Do you guys have the habit of voyeurism?" Tianpi gave a light snort. "I merely can't stand you two. Since you won't accept another man, you might as well be with him." Hua Qiyue's emotions were suddenly stirred. "Who says I can't accept another man?" "You can? If you can, why treat Hua Zun so coldly? Why reject the others so completely?" Tianpi flatly curved up the corners of his lips. "Because I owe you too much in your former life, I won't force you now. I will respect whoever you choose. But you don't need to mind the past so much." Mind? Hua Qiyue's face sank. In Tianyuan Continent, women regarded their chastity as more important than their lives. Could Tianpi's mere words make her forgive the past? Tianpi started to wave his fan coquettishly. Hua Qiyue cursed him as a nutcase. The weather was so cold and yet he was playing with her Drunken Flower Fan!
