Everyone felt their hairs stand on end when they heard the tale.
Mrs. Zhou was tortured to death in such an extremely ruthless manner. So if the nanny had dared to put the blood jade in the mouth of the deceased, then...
"The nanny witnessed how cruel my sister could be and feared that her niece Cuilian, and herself might end up sharing the same fate. In fact, Cuilian's face was scratched by my sister with her plum hairpin all because I had praised her hairpin that night. My sister had disfigured her and broke her plum hairpin!"
Princess Huiling spoke extremely confidently and her crisp and cold words shook everyone's hearts.
The Emperor's fists clenched and his Empress' face turned very pale. Cold sweat filled her palms but she couldn't do anything to save her precious daughter.
"So, the Nanny secretly put the princess' blood jade into Mrs. Zhou's mouth in order protect herself and Cuilian. This also ensured that
The rest didn't walk far. Because of Princess Mingzhu, they were all frightened by the scary Hua Qiyue. "Princess Huiya... please help Mingzhu! I had asked Miss Qiyue out to discuss some private matter, I..." As Princess Mingzhu spoke, she looked shy and afraid. "I wanted to know the likings of a king and would like to ask Qiyue, who was close to him. However, not only did Princess Jinghua not tell me anything, she pushed me into the pond! She wanted to kill me, oooo..." Princess Mingzhu cried out loud. She would definitely look endearing in the eyes of the Emperor. Hua Qiyue smirked as she made the mental note on the hypocritical nature of this lady. She did not expect her rival to act so well. Princess Huiya stared at Hua Qiyue with shock, looking incredulous. "That's impossible, Princess Jinghua is not someone like that..." The rest started to scold Hua Qiyue respectively, mocking her and laughing at her. They
Five hundred years ago, he had spent a lot of time enjoying himself. Eating peanuts and chicken, and drinking bottles of wine, was part of his everyday life. However, five hundred years had passed since then. Now, he gets excited everytime he sees these food items. Seeing Tianpi eating his chicken like a starving man, Hua Qiyue sat on the side and plucked the flower of a ethereal herb to consume. “You seem like someone who hasn’t had food for a thousand years! Can you eat slower?” Tianpi lifted up his seductive eyes and sniggered. His charming personality had been replaced by that of a starving ghost. “How can I not be hungry when I hadn’t eaten anything so delicious for 500 years?” “Please, you just ate some a few days before!” Hua Qiyue snorted as Tianpi slapped his forehead. “Oh ya! I had forgotten, haha!” At the same place, the sky was blue and the sun was bright in the mysterious w
Hua Qiyue's words drew everyone's attention to Qiuyun's neck. There was a red hickie present. Old Madame raged. Even though Zhou Zhicheng was a guest, all the evidence pointed to him molesting Qiuyun. "Zhou Zhicheng! I treat you as a family but you took the chance to molest my servant? Come and drag this man out! Beat him 20 times before throwing him out of Hua's Mansion!" Old Madame cared a lot about her face and reputation. Even if Qiuyun was only the servant of Hua family, she had sold herself to Hua family and could be considered to be part of it. Old Madame would never tolerate someone shaming a person of Hua's Mansion. Two buff male servants walked over and dragged Zhou Zhicheng out. Zhou Zhicheng raged and shouted, "Old Madame, I'm innocent! I didn't touch Qiuyun at all!" Qiuyun, however, cried. Her tears fall down from her face like beads of pearls. He looked at Hua Qiyue with p
"Leave here, I want to alone for a while." Having escaped from the brink of death, Princess Huizhen felt as if she had been reborn. However, her hatred for Princess Huiling became stronger. The two mothers looked at each other and retreated respectfully. Princess Huizhen closed her eyes and saw the harsh and emotionless pupils of her Mum. Her mother did love her, or she would not have saved her from death. However, she was unwilling to live a life like this. She will definitely return to the imperial city one day! Inside the imperial city, the business in Dong Hai Restaurant worsened by the day. That was because of the rumor of Zhou Zhicheng, the boss of Dong Hai Restaurant, molesting servants in Hua's Mansion. That scared off many ladies who loved to go to restaurants for fear of molestation. Men who detest such character all boycotted the restaurant as well. Even guests who did come will drink wine and mock Zhou
Thinking of the beating that day, Zhou Zhicheng was still angry. However, seeing that the lady in front of him was all teary and looked as beautiful as a flower, he sighed softly. "Come up, I forgive you. I think I had a stroke of bad luck recently and thus unfortunate events came one after another. Someone framed me and Princess Huiling chanced about it too, looks like this would be the downfall of Zhou family." As Zhou Zhicheng lifted Qiuyun up, his rough hands touched her soft palm. Qiuyun moaned softly with her crisp voice as she withdrew her hand, blushing. Zhou Zhicheng stared at her and found Qiuyun to be cute and small. Even though she was nowhere as pretty as Princess Jinghua Hua Qiyue, the situation now made it impossible for Hua Qiyue to be attracted to him. It did seem that Qiuyun had a little interest in him. "Thank you, Mr. Zhou. Qiuyun will deeply remember your graciousness!" Qiuyun raised up her head and looked
Princess Huiling snorted, and stood up haughtily and pointed at Hua Qiyue, saying, "You, come out of there!" Yun Shimo's face became severe. And Ji Feng almost stood up but was grabbed by Ji Jing who said to him, "Don't do that... Sister Qiyue is not the kind of girl that can be easily bullied." Ji Jing was actually whispering to Ji Feng, but Huangfu Xuan was amused to grin after hearing her words, satirizing that Qiyue was finally taught a lesson for her arrogance. Hua Qiyue stood up unhurriedly, handing Tianci to Yun Shimo, and followed the princess to another private room. Entering the room, Hua Qiyue leisurely opened the window and heard a voice from the other room that Princess Huizhen was gnashing her teeth and saying, "That b*tch ruined my reputation and made me have to remain nameless to live in this world..." Hearing this, Princess Huiling's face went white and she abruptly pushed Hua Qiyue away, picking up her own ear
Yun Shimo tightly pulled a long face. His once coldly arrogant facial expression had already been replaced by outraged emotion and there was a sense of anxiety glided over his eyes. "Is he worrying about himself?" Hua Qiyue thought with a little surprise but she still kept her countenance, "Your Highness, actually I really don't want your highness to care about my business." Yun Shimo stared at Hua Qiyue fixedly and he was really beaten by this woman. Indeed, he didn't want to meddle in her business and intends to turn a blind eye to her, but why did he always send secret guards to inquire about her news? Perhaps, he was attracted by her unusual personality, or just interested in the person that supported her behind. After all, that person was definitely unusual because it was the one who had Long Red seeds and could rapidly grow a batch of Long Red. Right, it was because he wanted to know that mystery person that
The Princess had always been gentle in their long relationship, rarely overbearing. Zhou Zhicheng saw the other side of her for the first time that day, when Princess Huizhen fought Princess Huiling at Wangyue Restaurant. He was stunned. Now, he was even more stunned. Why had such a gentle and tender girl turned into a ferocious tigress or poisonous viper, her eyes flashing with icy glitter? "No... Your servant do not dare... "Zhou Zhicheng bowed his head and said quietly. Princess Huizhen was angry and upset. She remembered the look of lust on Zhou Zhicheng's face as he stared at Miss Wang. His expression was so different from that now! "Slap!" A slap resounded sharply. Zhou Zhicheng's face had been slapped by Princess Huizhen, the blow turning him to one side. Five fingerprints instantly appeared on his fair face. Zhou Zhicheng stared at the princess in shock. He finally came to himself and suddenl
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!
