Tianci was very unhappy to hear this and flashed a furious glance at her. "Daddy, why is there a female crow keeps making noise? It's so noisy!"
Yun Shimo looked at Hongyi with a smile. "Because some birds dwelled in the woods for a long time. It's normal that these birds become noisy crows."
She was so furious at the father and son's secretly comparing her to a crow.
"You..."
"Junior Sister, don't be mad. What's more, it's your fault. You shouldn't make such hurtful comments. Princess Jinghua, I apologize to you for her!"
Mo Yuning was sensible. So she pulled Hongyi to her side at once and said to Hua Qiyue embarrassedly,
"Why did you apologize? She is just an inferior infanta. Our Heaven Sect shouldn't be afraid of her because even the Changlong Emperor will respect us. Who does she think she is..."
Hongyi made irresponsible remarks. She laughed sardonically, with contempt for Hua Qiy
But the First Prince cited many examples that there were several ancestor emperors in the Changjing Kingdom chose the woman who had given birth to other's children. Those women possessed both political integrity and ability, but they just met loafers. Finally, the Changlong Emperor had no choice but to say that if he moved Hua Qiyue, he would have consented to his marriage. So Huangfu Shenglin came here happily. But he didn't expect to meet Yun Shimo here. Seeing how intimate he and Tianci were, Huangfu Shenglin had a horrible feeling. "My fiancee and son are here. How can I not be here?" Yun Shimo replied flatly, with a ray of sternness in his eyes. Huangfu Shenglin smiled awkwardly. "Qiyue is my benefactor. So I want to invite her to the palace. But it doesn't matter if you are not free. I will give a banquet to thank you when you are available." Hua Qiyue showed her charming smiles, which made Yun
Of course Hua Qiyue did not dare to take it. It was after all the Crown Prince's possession. It was so rare that it was more precious than divine herbs. Naturally she did not dare to keep it. Yet Huangfu Shenglin insisted. Hua Qiyue had no other choice. She smiled helplessly, "You'd better keep it by your side, Crown Prince. If anything's up, you can contact me using its sound transmission." Huangfu Shenglin's eyes brightened. "Very well. Only two of us can use this. It's getting late. You'd better take an early rest." Huangfu Shenglin was about to leave. Hua Qiyue saw him out of the mansion and watched his carriage ride out of her sight. The passers-by saw them and stared at her with angry, jealous eyes. Back in the courtyard, the moonlight was lovely. Tianci had finished his cultivation and gone to bed. It was such a hot night. Hua Qiyue could only immerse herself in the new bathing pool in the backyard. After H
When Hua Qiyue and Yun Shimo came out together, Ji Feng and the others were waiting for them outside. This time, Hua Qiyue noticed that Huangfu Shenglin and his guards were also there. She was quite astonished. "The Crown Prince is too delicate and important a personage. Are you sure you want to join in our operation?" Yun Shimo was looking quietly at Huangfu Shenglin. Huangfu Shenglin's eyebrows shot up as he laughed valiantly, nodding. "Yes. A divine weapon's too rare. Even if I can't get myself one, it'll be good just to see it." Then, he gave Hua Qiyue a meaningful glance, his eyes full of tenderness. Hua Qiyue did not dare gaze into his burning eyes. She could not quite believe his decision to take part was in any way due to her. After all, there were countless women and beauties around. Huangfu Shenglin was already the Crown Prince. What kind of woman would he lack? Must he risk himself to obtain a divine we
Hongyi and the others were astonished. They focused their eyes and saw that Granny Wang's hand was on fire. No matter how hard she tried, she could not put it out. The fire was like some creature with an extremely powerful lifeforce, clinging on to her stubbornly! Terrible screams rang out, making everyone's hairs stand on end. The remaining four grannies could not bear the sight. They tried to put out the fire on that granny's hand. All of them coalesced their spiritual energy into fluid. With a "Poof!", they finally put out the fire. At the same time, Hua Qiyue retracted her hand. She no longer tried to maintain the fire. Had she not done this, it would prove almost impossible for the four grannies to quench the flame. "Ah... my hand... my hand... " The old woman shrieked. She watched her hand, now scorched black, her face full of terror! Hongyi stared dumbfounded at the whole scene. She could not quite believe her eyes.
Hua Qiyue narrowed her eyes, pursing her watery, peach-like lips. "What's the purpose of this Fiery Divine Tree?" Yun Shimo replied quietly to her question. "The Fiery Divine Tree can help a fire-system Qi Artist gain fast promotion cultivating under its shade. You are practising Heart of Fire, which can be considered a fire-system art as well." Hua Qiyue heard him and felt a little baffled. Where was Spiritual Qi more plentiful—under a Fiery Divine Tree, or in the Mysterious World? She would know once she reached the place. "Not only that. A Fiery Divine Tree is full of treasures—its leaves and branches can be used as medicines and antidotes to countless poisons. They also embody the essences of the heaven and the earth. Even if you take just a bit, they can fortify your physique by more than twofold," Huangfu Shenglin explained. Hua Qiyue's eyes started to gleam. To fortify the physique by more than twofold—she liked this ver
Those people were sent flying by the Fiery Divine Tree and they crashed to the ground, wailing like dead pigs. They couldn't even climb back up to their feet after that. They paid the price for their reckless actions. Those who remained calmed down and no longer dared to act rashly. The Fiery Divine Tree seemed so powerful that it seemed as though it could send them to their doom if they tried to act recklessly. Hongyi yelled coldly, "Why aren't you snatching the sacred relic? Teachers, go grab it!" "Young master, please be patient. The Fiery Divine Tree is incredibly powerful!" an elderly woman said darkly. Hua Qiyue glanced at all these women coldly. She didn't have a good impression of those women at all. All these people wanted was the sacred relic, so they were waiting for Yun Shimo to deal with the Fiery Divine Tree first. She looked at them and decided that they were all as cunning as foxes. Y
He was the deputy sect leader of the Gnawing Devils Sect and no one had ever dared to speak to him so impudently! He was Chou Tianhen and was extremely powerful. He was invincible throughout Gnawing Devils Sect with the sole exception of the sect leader. Thus, he couldn't believe that Hua Qiyue who seemed to be a young girl of eighteen had dared to speak to him so rudely. Chou Tianhen was completely enraged. "Very well! Since you're not afraid of death, I shall make sure that you die an honorable death. It should be your honor to die by my hands!" Chou Tianhen said coldly as he slowly took out his spirit weapon. Yun Shimo said calmly, "You're so much older but you're picking on a young girl, have you got no sense of shame? Do you not know how many people would mock you if word of this gets out?" Chou Tianhen's face darkened. Although the Gnawing Devils Sect was known for committing all sorts of crimes, as a man, it would indeed
The fifth apprentice of the first batch, Mo Yuning's fifth venerable master, said lightly. "What's the good idea? Tell me now!" The female chief gnashed her teeth in anger and said, "I have never lay my hand on her. But now, Hongyi was hurt so seriously. I must kill Hua Qiyue to blow off some steam!" The fifth venerable master smiled and continued, "Chief, don't you forget that our apprentice Qianyang went back to the palace with the Emperor a month ago? She is the Emperor's favorite daughter. Fortunately, our Heaven Sect adopted her. When Princess Qianyang was lost, the Emperor and the Concubine Xian offered millions of taels of gold to find her." The female chief raised her eyebrows. Of course, she remembered it. After Princess Qianyang returned to the imperial palace, the Changlong Emperor also sent ten thousand taels of gold and countless jewelry as the reward to the Heaven Sect. "Yes, I remember Qianyang. She is the most o
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!
