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
While Hua Qiyue and Ji Jing were having small talks, the Emperor was meeting the fifth venerable master and Hongyi from the Heaven Sect in the main hall. After all, Princess Qianyang was brought up by the fifth venerable master. She was the Emperor's benefactor. Therefore, in the Changlong Emperor's heart, they were all honored guests. "Your Highness, I have heard about you for a long time. When I meet you today, I feel you are really mighty and dignified, which feast our eyes." The fifth venerable master said some genteel words to praise the Changlong Emperor. As expected, he was very happy. Changlong Emperor looked at Hongyi, whose head was swollen and made her look like a pig, saying with a smile, "You're welcome, Left Custodian. The Heaven Sect is the benefactor of Qianyang and me. I've heard that you are really powerful, so I'm eager to make friends with you for a long time. But unfortunately, I can't make my dream come true at that tim
Hua Qiyue looked at the Emperor, Yun Shimo and other people coming in calmly. She noticed a girl in pink finery, with a double fairy bun. She must be Princess Qianyang. "Here come the Emperor and the Princess..." She was right. As a eunuch cried out, that girl in pink grand clothes came in. She was Princess Qianyang. She was about fifteen or sixteen years old. She had an oval face and attractive amorous watery eyes. Her lips were as thin as cherry petals and her skin was very good, white and smooth. She was a lovely girl. Hua Qiyue admitted that she would almost fall in love with her when she met such a lovely little girl. While Princess Qianyang was looking at Yun Shimo with an infatuated eye. When she entered the door, her left foot was accidentally tripped by the high threshold. Yun Shimo, who was the closest to her, gave her a hand. Suddenly, the girl who was as delicate as peach blossom felt shy
Is was clear that the Changlong Emperor let the Princess get involved in their relationship. He was going too far. But since ancient times, the Emperors had been the strongest. So although it showed that he did plan to let Princess Qianyang separate them, he could also explain that Yun Shimo was only the escort, and it didn't break any rules at all. "And then... It is the glory of our country that Princess Jinghua seized the divine weapon. The infanta has amazing strength. Now, there are evil beasts invading in the Rock Hillock Mountain by chance and they have killed hundreds of people. Infanta, please go to the Rock Hillock Mountain with the First Prince to kill evil beasts, calm the chaos and comfort the people there." The Emperor continued. Hua Qiyue shocked for a while, and when she wanted to find an excuse, she heard Yun Shimo say slightly, "I'm willing to accompany the Princess." Hua Qiyue felt cold all over her body. She
