Hua Qiyue heard her. She turned around instantly and dashed out. She saw at the bottom of the stairs a man in teal robe climbing up. The man raised his head. His familiar face made Hua Qiyue and Ji Jing cried out in astonishment.
Ji Jing had wanted to go out for a walk. The moment she came to the corridor, she saw a man climbing the stairs, greatly resembling Xuanji.
She did not expect it to be really him!
It had been almost a year. He had finally returned. Xuanji smiled and nodded. "Qiyue, I'm back."
They had not seen each other for almost a year. Xuanji had lost much weight. His somewhat fleshy face had become long and thin. But it could not disguise his handsome features.
Hua Qiyue was at a loss for words. She was extremely agitated. Ji Feng and Bai Qianxue also came out following his voice. Both of them were smiling.
"Haha, Brother Xuan, you're finally back! We've waited a long time for you!" Bai
Bai Qianxue glanced at Ji Jing curiously but did not reject her proposal. "Very well then, let's try the food there." Bai Qianxue did not know why. Suddenly, he did not wish to go back and face Hua Qiyue and Yun Shimo. He was late to the party. Yun Shimo and Xuanji were there before him. Hua Qiyue had liked Yun Shimo. He would only feel upset appearing before her again. The two of them came to Xueyue Restaurant on the opposite side and sat down. The waiter brought them the menu. "Sir and madam... oh, isn't this City Master Bai? Ho ho, thank you for your patronage. I'll give you a treat today!" Bai Qianxue was no mere character. Everyone could pick him out with his silver hair, regardless of where he went. "You're too polite, waiter. No matter who I am, I don't have the right to make you spend. Thank you for your offer," Bai Qianxue said with a smile. He ordered a few dishes recommended by the waiter.
Hua Qiyue furrowed her lovely brows slightly. She said helplessly, "Very well, do what you will!" The moment he heard Hua Qiyue agree, Yun Shimo's heart was completely set at ease. As long as Hua Qiyue agreed, the matter could be easily resolved. Yun Shimo was overjoyed and kissed her delicate brows. "Qiyue, go and rest at once. I'll first find men to prepare for our grand wedding on the eighth!" With that, his figure flashed. With a whizz, he had disappeared. Hua Qiyue stared on stupidly. This man was too quick, wasn't he? She stretched out her hand and touched her brows and lips. That smoldering kiss was still there. The tender feeling brightened Hua Qiyue's mood too. She leaped nimbly back into the room, preparing to leave for her room, soak in the bath and then rest. This scene had naturally been witnessed by Xuanji, to the left of her window. He stared dazed at the half-shut window
That man was the First Palace Leader, Luo Sha. The others stared at one another, obviously voicing no dissent. Only the Second Palace Leader snorted. "It's just a few small fries. Why affect all the Palace Leaders? Hey... Hua Mengshi isn't here? Where has she gone?" Lan Luo gave a light laugh. "Of course she has her own matters. Everyone ought to do what they should do. But you can't be too careless. Hua Qiyue isn't someone easy to deal with." "Haha, I heard that you've been subdued by Hua Qiyue? Tsk, tsk. How can the 10th Palace Leader of our Dark Sect be so weak? By rights, you should be more powerful than the Fifth Palace Leader. But why you still lose to Hua Qiyue? Aren't you a bit too useless?" The Third Palace Leader sneered very impolitely. Lan Luo raised his brows. "I was indeed defeated by Hua Qiyue. But it's no insult. If you think I'm poor, I'll let you guys fight first. You can probe her prowess first
The First Palace Leader and the others were stunned. Every one of them knew that the Sixth Palace Leader was at the medium level of Holy God. Surprisingly, he died before he could even perform his lethal skill. As they fought with the enemy, they took a look at Hua Qiyue. But when they saw the Sixth Palace Leader, all black and scorched, lying on the ground, he was no longer breathing. So powerful! With one move, Hua Qiyue killed an opponent of her at the same level cruelly, which made the other Palace Leaders of the Dark Sect shocked inwardly! Lan Luo did stand by. He could see that Hua Qiyue was much stronger than before, and his heart pounded with fear. He didn't expect that Hua Qiyue had made such progress in less than a year! "She's indeed a top-level genius... No wonder Hua Mengshi learned all kinds of forbidden arts. Hua Qiyue is so strong that she would not have been able to draw with this woman without th
Tianpi still gave Hua Qiyue the cold shoulder. Holding a stick in his hand, he stirred the water in the spiritual pool. Hua Qiyue sat down beside Tianpi and pushed him on the shoulder. "Master, don't be narrow-minded. Just tell me!" With a cold face, Tianpi finally cast her a glance. "Narrow-minded? I don't have time to get angry with you. I was just remembering." Well, face-oriented... The corner of Hua Qiyue's mouth twitched, and she said helplessly, "All right, Master, who did you think of?" Cold-faced, Tianpi still didn't want to talk to Hua Qiyue. This girl had so many handsome men around her out there, and she came to see him less and less now! In front of them was a field of Ginsengs with Nine Souls. As the wind blew, the holy light covering these Ginsengs with Nine Souls glittered, appearing gorgeous. And the fragrance of the herbs was faint and unique. Looking ahead, Hua Qiyue
"Tell me, what sufferings has Princess Mingzhu undergone? Why has she appeared in Xuanyuan City again?" Ji Jing was a woman too. Hua Mengshi's actions had aroused some pity in her. Bai Qianxue glanced at her quietly. "Girl, use your brain. Otherwise, it will rust." Ji Jing heard him and was a little angry. "Hey, Brother Bai, are you suggesting that I'm simple-minded? Humph, a simple person is better than a complex one. Look at Hua Mengshi and Princess Huizhen. Tsk, tsk, they've killed lots of people." Hua Qiyue's complexion changed slightly. She glanced at Tianci and saw that he was teasing the Man-Hunting Insect. It looked like he had completely forgotten the painful days of his past. "When Lin Qi set up a branch here, he took with him Princess Mingzhu and Hua Mengshi... That must be it. That's why Hua Mengshi is in contact with the Dark Sect." Huangfu Xuan seldom spoke, but he was very outspoken today.
"Who are you, Big Sister?" Tianci saw that she was a stranger. He immediately became interested and grinned, watching Hua Mengshi walk down. Hua Mengshi walked down the stairs and sat down on a vacant seat by the side. The waiter smiled radiantly and came up to her. "Princess, after the soup is sent to you, you must have a few bowls. Miss Hua has instructed me to make you take them." Hua Mengshi gently nodded. "Thank you, waiter." The waiter was so happy that he blushed. This lovely, tender woman thanked him so gently. Well, most of his former guests had looked down on him. Tianci also sat by Hua Mengshi's side. Looking at his small, handsome face, Hua Mengshi hated him so much that her teeth chattered. She would like to destroy anything and anyone involved with Hua Qiyue. Unfortunately, she could not at this time. Hua Mengshi looked smilingly at Tianci. "I am Princess Min
It was time for lunch. Hua Qiyue cast a glance at Liu'er helping Hua Mengshi down and quietly lifted her brows. Hua Mengshi was still her tender, feeble self. But she was looking much better than before. "Sister Princess, are you alright? Your complexion is much better than before. I'm sure you can recover to your former self after some time!" Ji Jing was not a scheming girl. She did not suspect the present Princess Mingzhu, smiling enthusiastically and pulling a chair out for her. "Thank you for your concern. I'm feeling much better." Hua Mengshi smiled and sat down, glancing tenderly at Hua Qiyue. "My thanks especially to Princess Jinghua. I'm very happy that you bear me no grudge." Hua Qiyue gently shook her head. "You're too polite, Princess. Nobody would take such unimportant matters to heart." The company heard her and gave benign smiles. Xuanji and the other men gave Hua Mengshi a meaningful glance.
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!
