"Why not do it this way. You stay here, Qiyue, while I go and take a look!" Ji Feng stood up and said quietly.
"No. I, too, feel like someone's watching me. If I don't turn up, that Eighth Palace Leader won't let things rest."
Hua Qiyue gave a slight smile. She went out before all the rest. The rest of the guests also rushed out to watch the scene.
The moon had just risen. Two large lanterns had been lit and placed high before the inn, enveloping Hua Qiyue's person in its faint red glow. Her white skirt fluttered in the breeze and her black hair was all tied up. Her ravishing little countenance showed her calm and confidence.
Xuanji and the others followed behind her. Sure enough, a sedan soon appeared racing here. In the blink of an eye, it had arrived before Hua Qiyue.
The sedan stopped amid all the gasps of the watching crowds.
The Eighth Palace Leader had rarely appeared outside his palace.
<Huge beads of sweat dripped down Lan Luo's forehead. The pain became more and more intense. "Kneel!" With a cold bellow, Lan Luo could not help slumping down to his knees. He was shocked, struggling desperately to control his body. But he could not help himself! The fire had incinerated his finger. Lan Luo gave off a heart-rending growl. "If you don't agree, then in real life, I will let the Heart of Fire burn you in this way... tsk, tsk. A piece of trash without a face and without hands. Which woman can you attract? Your harem... would despise such a ugly monster too, I believe!" Hua Qiyue's cold voice quietly rang out. But Lan Luo could imagine how brutal this woman was! Once he became such a person, the women he had worked so hard to abduct would lose all admiration of him! Lan Luo had no great ambition. Otherwise, with his abilities, he could have become the Fifth or Sixth Palace Le
Tianci sat up. The Man-Hunting Insect started to buzz away, signaling Tianci to hurry. Tianci was so short of breath that he was still panting. How could he run fast? "No, running away isn't the solution! I can't outrun the tiger. Better rest first and recover some of my energy!" Tianci had naturally forgotten the fact he had once scared a large herd of evil beasts away. Now, his little heart was still thumping wildly and he felt terrible, just terrible. But he still quietly took out a pill and swallowed it. The pill was a Qi-recovery Pill. It could help him quickly restore his primordial energy. "Growl growl growl..." The wind became stronger. It blew the surrounding trees askew. One could tell how powerful that evil beast was, dashing toward Tianci! Little Tianci stared in terror at the scene before him. A black shadow had lunged past him. Something heavy fell in front of Tianci, caus
But Xuanji sent someone to speak at the front of the queue. The man quickly and respectfully allowed their carriages to enter first. "Who's that person? Why is he cutting the queue?" "How obnoxious! We're hurrying to the auction! Guards, don't you want silver? Come over here. I will give you 100 taels. Let us proceed first!" One of them, a wealthy, overbearing man, said loudly. "Hoho, don't be angry, sir. Those are eminent visitors!" The guard replied respectfully. His status was not high and he could not afford to offend anyone. "What? Eminent visitors? Humph, who is it? Is it the Eighth Palace Leader?" "Impossible. The Eighth Palace Leader, I heard, has been killed!" Hua Qiyue felt quite helpless in the carriage. Once the rumors started to fly, there would be many versions. "Yes. Haha, I heard that Hua Qiyue was a female ruffian. She slew that Palace Leader
Tianci stared stupidly. He did not expect after running in the other direction, he would be still waylaid. And that person naturally was Hua Mengshi. Hua Mengshi smiled grotesquely, looking at the pitiful Tianci. "Hahaha, you think you can run away just because you're smart? Tsk, tsk. I have kept a sample of your aura! So you can't run. Tianci, go back with me obediently!" Tianci retreated one small step, staring coldly and fixedly at Hua Mengshi. Intuition told him that she was not a good woman. "Are you trying to kill me or use me?" Tianci asked calmly. At this moment, he suddenly remembered the glow of light from his abdomen. That light had permeated his entire body... The bright light could frighten away a big tiger. And this woman— he probably did not need to worry about her? The moment Tianci thought about this, he calmed down a lot, staring at the incessantly sneering Hua Mengshi
Hua Qiyue swept her cursory, indifferent eyes at the suddenly appearing Yun Shimo. At this moment, Tianci's shrill screams drew Ji Feng, Xuanji and the rest over. Even the hare appeared. While searching for Tianci, the hare had not been with Hua Qiyue. It went alone in another direction instead. "Tianci..." "We've found Tianci!" Ji Jing and the others remarked jubilantly. But the moment they set their eyes on Yun Shimo opposite them, they all quietened down. They had not seen him for over a year. Yun Shimo looked the same as before, but his eyes looking even more cold and solemn. Hua Qiyue hugged Tianci tightly, staring at the man coldly. Although they used to be lovers, they were like great enemies at this meeting. They were no longer the affectionate couple of the past. Hua Qiyue coldly lifted the corner of her lips. Tianci stared at Yun Shimo, and then at Hua Qiyue. "Mom, could you..
Lan Luo would stay in Xuanyuan City and return to the Eighth Palace. Hua Qiyue made him release news that he had slain Hua Qiyue to get himself readmitted into the Dark Sect. Although the Dark Sect would be suspicious, they would not do anything to Lan Luo before they had any evidence against him. When Lan Luo returned to the Eighth Palace, he would become her pawn. If she came out one day, then she would surely collect the latest, most complete secrets of the Dark Sect. The company took several hours to reach the mountain Yun Shimo had been inhabiting—the Moon Eclipse Mountain. Here contains natural anima energy, which is way more plentiful than Xuanyuan City's. More importantly, the lay of the land was excellent. After setting up the Great Crystal Array, only someone who reached the level of Great Completeness of Holy God could tell that there was a formation here. If other Qi Artists stumbled in,
Tianci nodded. Although he could not understand Hua Qiyue's concerns. But he would not reject anything his mom would want him to do. Princess Qianyang brought the company tea to sober them up from wine. But Ji Jing sneered, "We don’t dare to drink your tea. Perhaps you have laced it with poison?" After all, Princess Qianyang and Yun Shimo were now a married couple. Ji Jing felt deeply aggrieved on Hua Qiyue's behalf. Her attitude toward Princess Qianyang had not improved. Princess Qianyang gave an awkward smile. "No, Jing, if you don't believe me, I will take a cup first." She poured herself a cup of tea and drank it. "Jing, you're talking nonsense again. Although Princess Qianyang has married Brother Yun, causing you to feel it unfair, she's not a wicked person. Why would she poison us?" Ji Feng said quietly. He led the company and walked over. Princess Qianyang felt deeply grateful for his kind words. She did not expect Ji Fe
However, Yun Shimo still kept his eyes shut without moving, as if not hearing anything. Hua Qiyue was so angry that she nearly vomited blood. This fellow was clearly ignoring her! "Yun Shimo! You just dug your own grave!" Hua Qiyue was finally enraged. She condensed anima energy on her palm and walked toward Yun Shimo. Yun Shimo was like an old monk in Zen meditation. He did not show any fear as Hua Qiyue was approaching. Hua Qiyue lifted up her palm and hit out toward Yun Shimo brutally! When she saw Yun Shimo, she could sense that his Qi Art was at the Great Completeness of Round Sun. Hua Qiyue had not expected the two Top-grade Magic Pellets to help her match up to him. If they fought now, Yun Shimo might need some time to defeat her. Yun Shimo suddenly opened his eyes. He was not stupid as to wait for Hua Qiyue's palm to cleave down on him. If she shattered his brain, wouldn't he be
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!
