When Tianci called for Yun Shimo to go, Princess Qianyang had followed surreptitiously behind, but she hadn’t expected Hua Qiyue to be here, too. This must be one of Tianci’s tricks.
Why did she feel a sense of warmth watching this family of three? There was no hatred in her heart, merely regret.
The princess felt that she had changed in recent days. She used to be such a jealous girl, and wouldn’t tolerate her husband being with another woman.
But seeing Hua Qiyue now, she felt no anger, no jealousy.
"What's wrong with me?” she thought. “When did I become so magnanimous?” Princess Qianyang was utterly baffled.
A boy's voice rang out, "Haha! Dad, you are smart! You can grab things from a distance!" Yun Shimo had been picking fruits from the trees while staying on the ground. He had no need to climb trees.
Hua Qiyue watched Yun Shimo's proficient hand movements, and it suddenly struck her that she could
The Man-Hunting Insect heard her, and a green glow started to gleam brightly in its eyes. Although it was only an insect, it had heard much about Hua Qiyue's deeds. When she fought the Gnawing Devils Sect, it could not yet talk, but it could understand human speech. Hua Qiyue led and was an important personage of the alliance. If she said she would get her green jade back, she would! On the seventh night, when everyone was asleep, Hua Qiyue watched Tianci sleep for a few moments and gently kissed his forehead. Then, she tiptoed out of the room. Under the guidance of the Man-Hunting Insect, Hua Qiyue traversed the woods to reach the entrance to Yun Shimo's cave. "Is he really inside?" "Yes. So is Princess Qianyang. Later, I can render her unconscious when she comes out. Madame Yun and Yun Xuan are in the innermost depths of the cave. They usually don't interfere in Yun Shimo's life. You can do anything you like. Th
Hua Qiyue obediently bowed her head, but she did not intend to apologize. "Master, I wish to see you earlier too. It's all Yun Shimo's fault!" Tianpi again slapped Hua Qiyue's head. "I warned you not to get close to him or trust him. Now you’ve been deceived by him and gone nearly mad! Don't you realize how much of a mess you’ve made?"Hua Qiyue bowed her head without saying a word. She had long expected a severe scolding from Tianpi, but she didn't care. It was a price she was willing to pay to return to this familiar world. Even as she was being scolded, she felt at home.She had been deceived and cheated by Yun Shimo for so long, stealing the jade felt… right. "Know you're wrong? Hmm, keeping quiet? You think I will forgive you just because you keep quiet?" Tianpi slapped Hua Qiyue's head again, like an elder chastising a youngster. Hua Qiyue gave a wry smile. She knew that if she continued to keep
Xuanji gave a small smile. "I don't know, but the green jade gourd was given to Qiyue by my father through me."What? It wasn’t a coincidence? Hua Qiyue stared stupidly at Xuanji. She could tell from his words that his father knew her. But Hua Qiyue could not recall such a person. "Xuanji... Are you a member of one of the three ancient clans of Tianyuan Continent — the Xuan family?" Yun Shimo asked, frowning. If it were true, he would have another powerful opponent again. This man would not be easy to deal with. "Indeed. You're very smart," Xuanji said, glancing at Yun Shimo. Yun Shimo's heart skipped a beat. The gloom on his face became even heavier, but he did not continue pestering Xuanji. But Hua Qiyue felt even more stunned. She understood that the Tianyuan Continent was left with only three ancient clans—the Xuanyuan family, the Xuan family, and the Bali family. But t
The only thing Yun Shimo could do was to keep an eye on Hua Qiyue, hoping that she would not be harmed by the devil inside the jade.However, Yun Shimo kept feeling for some reason that Hua Qiyue and Tianpi's relationship was not an ordinary one.He had gotten someone to investigate Hua Qiyue, and the investigator reported that Hua Qiyue would often ask her maidservants to prepare some roast chickens and a few flagons of good wine at night. In the morning, all the wine would be gone.Everyone felt that Hua Qiyue must have a good appetite, but she had not put on weight. Now, Yun Shimo could confirm that Hua Qiyue had given the wine and chickens to that devil. Hua Qiyue was not a stupid girl. The devil in the jade must be very clever to make her so subservient, which made Yun Shimo extremely uncomfortable.Ji Jing stepped forward. "What now, Brother Yun? It seems that Qiyue will not stop using the jade. If she encounter
Liu Shaoming naturally could not reject this assignment. As an outsider to the Xuanyuan Family, he had received a lot of scorn. But he would not admit defeat. He cultivated madly. When the Xuanyuan Family saw how gifted he was, they gave him many resources for cultivation. In only a year, he had progressed from the Great Completeness of Soaring Cloud to the Great Completeness of Round Sun.The rate of his cultivation scared those who had derided him. No one dared to scorn him now.And the patriarch had given him a chance. If he could kill Hua Qiyue, the patriarch would let him marry Xuanyuan Qing'er! Because of Hua Qiyue, the entire Liu clan had been exterminated. It was no great burden for him to be given this task – he wanted Hua Qiyue dead, anyway."Shaoming, will you really accept this assignment? It's not right for the patriarch to hand you such heavy responsibility when you've only cultivated in the Xuanyuan Fa
Hua Qiyue paid great attention to Tianpi's words. He would not lie to her, not about this.He used to be a wicked man, straying into the Devil's Path and losing his humanity. But now that his devil nature had ebbed away, he was merely an ordinary man who yearned for meat and wine. But if something happened and he was possessed again, he might really harm her. The fears voiced by Yun Shimo and the hare were not unfounded. But Hua Qiyue did not wish to believe that Tianpi, who had treated her so well, would one day stray into the Devil's Path again. "Master, don't worry. I don't believe you will stray into the Devil's Path! Master, only a kind man will be remembered forever by the others," Hua Qiyue said, smiling. Tianpi was stunned. Remembered forever? That was what he had once believed. But in the end, he became a devil.Tianpi went silent and shut his eyes, trying to recall the distant e
Two days later, Hua Mengshi arrived at a mountain in the western land of Yuewu Kingdom. A plain stone tablet without words stood at the entrance of the mountain. However, Hua Mengshi reached out, and a soft lump of anima energy brushed against the surface of the stone tablet. Then, six characters appeared: 11th Branch of the Dark Sect! This was her real home.Coming from Xuanyuan City, she had been using the Shadowless Foot technique she’d learned from the Murongs. It was an advanced technique, and few people could learn it. She was confident that no one could have followed her. Hua Mengshi looked back and scanned the dense forest; there was no one. She disappeared in a flash.If not for Hua Qiyue, Hua Mengshi would have been pretty satisfied with her Qi Art.She went deep into the mountain, and as she reached the giant black palace, footsteps rang. The dark gate slowly opened, and two you
Inside Eight Fingers Mountain. Standing before a lake, Xuanji was watching the reflection on the surface of the water. Bored, he picked up a pebble and flung it into the water. The small rock fell into the lake, making the water ripple. Weirdly, on the surface of the lake, Hua Qiyue's figure seemed to appear. Xuanji's brow wrinkled as he thought about her. After meeting with Hua Qiyue several times, he had deemed her as someone extraordinary, but that was all.During the past year, though, they had been having meals together and living under the same roof. Though without any intimate interactions, Xuanji developed a strange feeling toward Hua Qiyue.Xuanji couldn't tell what the feeling was, exactly. He was only beginning to accept the idea of his father's order, which he had planned to disobey.His father's words echoed in his ears."Xuanji, Hua Qiyue will become an extraordi
