The people above saw this and were shocked. Yun Shimo cried out involuntarily, "Qiyue!"
Before his voice had faded, she had already disappeared from the ground, leaping down into the abyss.
Since that bloody battle, everyone had been extremely shocked. Accidents often happen when people are at their least prepared.
After all, the first Soul Puppet had managed to reach the opposite side. Everyone thought that Hua Qiyue should not face any more problem. Yet this had happened!
"Everybody, take a step back!" Ji Feng's face was grim. "You people wait here. I'll go down too."
"Me too!" Huangfu Xuan quickly stepped out and walked over to the cliff. He saw that it was pitch-black below, but still leaped down fearlessly.
Ouyang Youche quietly stood out. A solemn look was on his handsome face. "Brother Ji, you stay here. If anything happens to Brother Yun, you will be the one in charge of pill-refining... "
"Aren't you eager to get out? Why come into this place?" The hare which had slept so soundly inside Yun Shimo's robe sleeve woke up. It spoke in some surprise. After falling down the abyss, the hare had experienced waves of exhaustion and decided to nap. It was not worried that Hua Qiyue and Yun Shimo would face any danger. It knew quite well how powerful these juniors were. Hua Qiyue pursed her lips, not answering. The hare gave a cold snort. It bounced upon its feet and instantly leaped up onto Hua Qiyue's shoulder. "Lass, why are you angry and ignoring me?" The hare's noisy voice started to resound. Hua Qiyue shushed it. "Don't make a noise. If another tenth-level demonic beast comes out... " "Humph, what's so scary about a demonic beast. I will unleash a lightning bolt and incinerate it!" The little hare said arrogantly. Yun Shimo gave it an icy stare and started to sn
Hua Qiyue was conquered by Yun Shimo's crazy kiss. In the cave, there was only the sound of their frantic breathings. Luckily, the hare was nowhere to be found. Otherwise, it would cover its mouth, pretending to vomit blood... A mistiness was in Hua Qiyue's eyes. She felt that her soul had been abducted. The eyes of the jade phoenix hairpin in her right hand suddenly glowed with a resplendent light. Unfortunately, Yun Shimo and Hua Qiyue could not detect it. When Yun Shimo's mouth departed from Hua Qiyue's lips, there was a trickle of blood by its corner. He wiped away that trickle of blood and started to gently caress Hua Qiyue's flushing face. "Qiyue, no matter what I do, you are the only one... in my heart. Princess Qianyang is an extremely dangerous person. Don't get too close to her. That's all I have to say." Tenderness and solemnity were interlocked in Yun Shimo's eyes. Hua Qiyue gave a start.
After returning to the capital, the company rested and practice, waiting quietly for Venerated Supreme Devil to emerge from his retreat. Chou Tianhen had been killed. This meant one fewer powerful helper for the Venerated Supreme Devil. Upon their return, Hua Qiyue discovered that some members of the Divine Eyes Organization had joined the alliance. Yun Shimo to grab time to refine his pills. He tried his best to refine more Qi-gathering Pills and Recovery Pills. Everyone had one Heaven and Earth Revitalizing Pill—in other words, they each had only one chance to recover from the brink of death. If there was a second time, the Heaven and Earth Revitalizing Pill would not work like in the first. Its effect would be greatly diminished. On the other hand, Princess Qianyang's heart was aching for Yun Shimo. She decided to see him once every three days. In other words, they would have a rendezvous every three days. Alth
Yun Shimo's face was grim. He immediately gave Bingyi some antidote powder which could counteract some of the aphrodisiac effects of the laced soup. Bingyi took it and gradually, the energy racing around his body finally calmed down. Yun Shimo poured out a bowl of soup and dipped his fingertips into it. He brought it to his nose and sniffed. Then he sneered. "Aphrodisiac Powder—what a powerful drug. But... Qianyang shouldn't be this sort of a person." Bingyi's forehead was breaking out in cold sweat. Although he had taken the antidote powder. its effects would only be felt gradually. Right now, he had to bear with the pain. "Your Highness... I don't understand... wasn't you in love with Princess Jinghua? Why... have you fallen for Princess Qianyang so suddenly? And you trust her so much. Why... " Yun Shimo was rendered momentarily speechless by Bingyi. He shook his head. "Bingyi, for some things, you don't need to
Hua Qiyue was an extraordinary granddaughter. Her words surely could be trusted. "Tell Father the same thing for me. Don't let anyone else know this." Hua Qiyue said in a whisper. The Old Madame nodded heavily. "Don't worry, Grandma won't let you worry." "Well, I've shielded Hua's Mansion with a powerful Protection Array. Ordinary people won't be able to enter. At least... no one from the capital can." Hua Qiyue gave a faint smile. Two days ago, she had got the servants to purchase plenty of grains and necessities for storage in the house. After she bid farewell to the Old Madame, Hua Liting stared quietly at Hua Qiyue. He was a great general. Yet, in front of his daughter, he now seemed so insignificant. "Father, you must take care of yourself. Best listen to Grandma." Hua Qiyue gave a faint smile, a mysterious look in her eyes. Then, she went up the carriage with Tianci. The company s
The man was in a blood-red robe, his hair disheveled, with a face so haggard that one could clearly discern his cheekbones. His eyes were bloodshot and full of ruthless cruelty. The man was emanating an aura of someone who feasted on blood. He so shocked his two disciples that their legs began to wobble. They slumped onto their knees with a thud. "Our respects to Sect Leader!" "You mean... they are all dead?" The man asked coldly. His voice resounded as if from the depths of hell, shuddering the heart. "Y... yes..." The man was the Venerated Supreme Devil. He had just broken into the Great Completeness of Round Sun. During his cultivation, he felt extremely uneasy, as if something momentous had happened. Therefore, the moment he broke into the Great Completeness of Round Sun, he emerged from his retreat, although he had not consolidated the level. He did not expect such astounding news the moment he
"Left Custodian, what do you mean by this?" Huangfu Shenglin's countenance turned grim. He did not expect his man to act against him. "His Majesty ordered me to protect Your Royal Highness! The situation's too critical now. Please stay over there, Your Royal Highness!" The Left Custodian shouted. Hua Qiyue could already stand. She stood beside Yun Shimo, ignoring that Left Custodian. Everyone knew the Emperor's thoughts. He must have some even more powerful Qi Artists by his side. To preserve the royal line, he must have left himself room for contingencies. He could not reveal to Hua Qiyue all his trump cards. "Outrageous! Release me at once!" Huangfu Shenglin was frustrated and angry. But the Left and Right Custodians picked him up and hurriedly retreated to the woods by the side. The halo above the Venerated Supreme Devil's hand became bigger and bigger. The hare, which
The company heard her and was greatly shocked. No one knew the origins of Hua Qiyue's divine herbs. Yet she had been so powerful. She must have a mysterious Master to back her up. "You're using secret art against him? Let's do it together!" Yun Shimo stood resolutely beside Hua Qiyue. The others quietly retreated. At this moment, the person Hua Qiyue yearned for the most was Yun Shimo. Both of them were awesome talents—a perfect couple. Although Ji Feng and the others were unhappy with this fact, they also felt helpless. In the forest, Huangfu Shenglin was so anxious that he was bathing in cold sweat. He heard a series of explosions and hideous screams from everywhere. The situation outside must be getting more and more horrific. "Left and Right Custodians, are you two going against me? Release me... at once!" Huangfu Shenglin ordered coldly. These two custodians were Qi Artists ceded to him by his father the Emperor. He did no
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!
