2024-10-29 19:42:56Hua Qiyue smiled at Ji Jing. "I’d be honored to treat you to a meal, but it’s a bit early for dinner. Would you be willing to walk around with us until then?"
Hua Qiyue breathed in sharply as she noticed Yun Shimo sitting next to Ji Feng. Tianci noticed him as well and waved excitedly to him, which Yun Shimo returned with a faint smile.
They resumed their journey, with the Ji family's carriage following them into the city.
As they passed a snack shop, Tianci tugged at Hua Qiyue's dress and pointed.
Hua Qiyue signaled for the carriage to stop. "Do you want a snack?"
Tianci nodded exaggeratedly while Ji Jing and Ji Feng alighted from their carriage. The delicious smell of the food made their mouths water as they stepped into the small shop.
Hua Qiyue had seldom ventured out of the restaurant with Tianci. Maybe it was time to spoil him just a little.
The shop specialized in roast and barbeque pro

The princesses seldom left the palace, but the Emperor had given them permissions to leave for the duration of the tournament, so they finally had an excuse to wander around.Princess Huiling had heard about Wangyue’s sterling reputation and brought her sisters along. When she’d heard that Ji Feng was also there, she’d asked the waiter to show her to his table.What she hadn’t expected was for Hua Qiyue to be there, as well.She snorted in disbelief. "Brother Ji, did you really catch frogs with this idiot?""Yes." Ji Feng responded simply.Ji Jing glanced at Princess Huiling in annoyance.Tianci saw Princess Huizhen and Zhou Zhicheng, and began trembling. Hua Qiyue held his hand."Tianci, aren’t you going to greet your father?"Zhou Zhicheng’s face briefly lit up as he saw Hua Qiyue, then seemed to remember the princess beside him. He smiled gently at Tianci, but the boy only look
The General’s Genius Daughter Chapter 45: A Battle Between Sisters
As Princess Huiling’s maidservant made a second attempt to calm the princess down Hua Qiyue used her Spirit Summoning Art to release a puff of air from her finger toward the Princess Huiling, injecting hatred and inhibition into it.When the hateful air reached her, Princess Huiling screamed, pulling an ornate knife out of her dress and stabbing it toward Princess Huizhen!The group at the table held their collective breath.Princess Huizhen cried out as the knife pierced her arm.Ji Feng stood to intervene, but he wasn’t quick enough to stop an engraged Huizhen from picking up the fish plate with her good arm, sending fish flying everywhere, and slamming it into Huiling’s face.Blood began pouring from her nose as Huiling let out an incomprehensible scream of pure rage as she lunged at her sister.It was at this point that the imperial guards intervened, pulling the two bloodthirsty princesses apart as th

Princess Huiling tried to suppress the contempt in her eyes. She couldn’t treat Hua Qiyue poorly with so many people watching."Miss Hua! Please, join us."Hua Qiyue wore a slight smile and sat down with Tianci. The meal before them was quite simple – a couple of basic dishes and a bowl of soup."My son was hungry, and I’d heard this restaurant was quite good, so we stopped in to get a quick bite. I never imagined you’d be here, princess. I am honored."Princess Huiling said with a smile, "You should be.""Princess Huiling... last night...”Huiling clenched her fists beneath the table. How dare she bring up last night in public!“…Princess Huizhen really over-reached," Hua Qiyue finished.Princess Huiling snorted, but unclenched her fists."Princess Huizhen has secretly been with Mr. Zhou for a long time. I’ve heard that before his wife passed away, they..."
The General’s Genius Daughter Chapter 47: Coup
Hua Qiyue knew what the Second Madame was up to. She wanted her to marry someone with a bad reputation."Second Madame, I know you're joking. How could I marry your nephew when he has such a strong reputation? Grandma, this is about my marriage, so I humbly ask that I be allowed to make the decision!"Madame Hua wasn’t an idiot. When she saw Qiyue’s confident smile, she knew that her granddaughter had a plan. Besides, she’d become such a boon to the Hua family in recent weeks.If Hua Qiyue could provide yet another pleasant surprise, she would be happy to accept.Madame Hua nodded. "I suppose it depends on what you have in mind, Qiyue.” After departing the main hall, Hua Qiyue spent some time with Tianci. Looking down at his happy, pink face, Hua Qiyue promised herself she’d be a perfect mother in this life.Later on, Lvxin and Youshui served dinner, joined by Qiuyun, who appeared to be well-rested.

Later in the evening, Princess Huizhen noticed Huiling staring at Cuilian from time to time, as if she trying to signal something. She narrowed her eyes slightly, but didn’t say anything.After dinner, Princess Huizhen returned to her palace. Once the doors were shut, she whirled around, slapping Cuilian sharply across the face.Cuilian shrieked and staggered backward. Her eyes welled with tears, but she didn’t dare retreat."Princess... what… what did I do wrong?"After getting shouted at by her mother, Huizhen was in no mood to deal with a traitor."What did you do wrong?” she shouted. “You bitch! Why are you hanging out with Huiling? Did you betray me for her? Do you want to spoil my relationship with the queen?"One side of Cuilian's face was red and swollen, and the corner of her mouth was bleeding slightly. "No, no... you've got it wrong, princess, I wouldn’t betray you!"Princess Huizhe
The General’s Genius Daughter Chapter 49: Marrying the Crown Prince
"I’m honored you’d skip the tournament because of me!” Hua Qiyue replied. “Jing, would you like to come to Hua Mansion?"Ji Jing's eyes lit up. She winked at Ji Feng, and said, "That sounds great! I'll visit you at Hua's Mansion with my brother sometime."As the ladies chatted, Ji Feng eyed Hua Qiyue with curiosity. He’d been floored when he’d heard about her personal garden of Long Red. She hadn’t exactly kept it a secret. If Yun Shimo was correct, and she had only entered the tournament to win the Purple Lotus Phoenix Ice to cure her son, why not simply offer to trade some Long Red for it?When the conversation died down, Ji Feng said with a smile, "Qiyue, I heard that Tianci needs Purple Lotus Phoenix Ice to heal his throat. We would like to give it to you in advance."Hua Qiyue was taken aback by the offer. Was he certain she would win? Was he trying to bribe her with a gift?She desperately wanted to accept, but k

Hua Qiyue grabbed Tianci's hand to leave. When they were in the outer corridor, they met with Third Madame and Hua Xiaoyi.Hua Xiaoyi's entire face was veiled by a black mask, except for her sharp eyes.Xiaoyi wasn’t happy to see Hua Qiyue. She was all anyone at the mansion was talking about these days. Hua Qiyue had won a tournament match. Hua Qiyue had divine herbs in her garden. Hua Qiyue had gained the emperor’s favor."Older sister, I didn't expect to see you here. Are you really going to marry the crown prince?"Hua Xiaoyi was, surprisingly, much better behaved these days and no longer called Hua Qiyue a “bitch” right off the bat.The Third Madame smiled slightly, then looked at her daughter proudly. Over the past two weeks, she had been constantly keeping a close eye on her daughter in an attempt to change her manner of speech. It appeared her teachings had finally produced some results.Hua Qiyue s
The General’s Genius Daughter Chapter 51: Creating Enemy
The whole table of food arrived. Yun Shimo ignored Hua Qiyue, giving food only to Tianci as if he was the closest one to him as if he was the one that he was going to discuss matters with. Hua Qiyue ate a bowl of rice and ignored Yun Shimo as well. She was alright as long as he was nice to Tianci. Sipping on the soup, Hua Qiyue peered at Yun Shimo, who was still sending food to Tianci. The smell of the soup... seemed to have implied that Seven Ultimate Ginseng was added into it. Seven Ultimate Ginseng was a fascinating type of spiritual medicine. Hua Qiyue only recognized it as she had smelled its fragrance in that special world. She did not expect Wangyue Restaurant to have such an excellent soup. Hua Qiyue looked at the menu discretely and did not notice any soup with Seven Ultimate Ginseng in it. "Waiter, what soup is this, it's delicious!" Hua Qiyue smiled faintly and asked the waiter.

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
The General’s Genius Daughter Chapter 336 The Demonized Tianpi
"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
The General’s Genius Daughter Chapter 335 Confusion
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
The General’s Genius Daughter Chapter 334 Let's Get Married
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 General’s Genius Daughter Chapter 333 Resealing
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
The General’s Genius Daughter Chapter 332 Demonization?
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
The General’s Genius Daughter Chapter 331 Finding Him Back
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
The General’s Genius Daughter Chapter 330 He Vomited Blood
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!
