Divine Brilliance

Once Xuanyuan Yiren rushed back to this empty space in the forest, she saw Zong Shou sitting lazily next to the fire.

The surrounding thousand feet was in a state of chaos. The place where the fire was started had changed to a relatively cleaner area

Li Yunniang was behaving like a little wife that had angered her husband as she was carefully massaging Zong Shou’s legs.

Xuanyuan Yiren was shocked. Li Yunniang was always annoyed with Zong Shou and during these few days she often mocked him, wishing that he would just die.

With her identity as a Xiantian expert, actually serving Zong Shou so respectfully with totally no expression of unhappiness. Itplaced her at a loss and she couldn’t believe it.

-Is Sister Yunniang crazy? Or was her body stolen by someone?-

Such a thought entered her mind, however Xuanyuan Yiren didn’t have the mood to think about that. The first thing she did was investigate the surroundings.

When the bodies of Ren Qianchou and the other two entered her eyes, she paused. When the other younger head entered her eyes, she took in a deep breath.

“Deceitful Sword Ren Qianchou, Mist Sword Xie Jun, Rage Sword Yun Tao, and also this Hundred Thousand Blood Killer Li Yaling. Yunniang, who killed them?”

Li Yunniang’s eyeballs turned, but she didn’t dare to reply. Instead, she looked towards Zong Shou like she was asking for instructions.

Zong Shou smiled casually, in his helpless expression was a bit of confidence, “Who else can it be? Apart from me, who else is able to kill them?”

Just as he sat up, displaying some strength and wanting to explain the entire matter, Xuanyuan Yiren looked over in disdain. It was like her eyes were saying “With just you, you think you could kill them?”

Xuanyuan Yiren shook her head, her tone solemn as she said, “You still have the mood to joke at such a time? Which expert was it that acted? Sixty miles away just now, I obviously felt a Xuanwu Ancestor!”

Zong Shou sighed. He felt like all the energy in his body was used up, his heart filled with hesitation. All of a sudden, he was too lazy to explain and also didn’t want to waste energy to prove himself.

Seeing that Zong Shou and even Lian Fan were silent, her brow furrowed. She looked directly at Li Yunniang, “Sister Yunniang, you speak!”

Li Yunniang’s body trembled and she hesitated. She snuck glances at the expressionless Zong Shou, and then she shook her head. “Miss, I didn’t see anything and didn’t hear anything!”

Xuanyuan Yiren was startled once more, her face turning cold as she scoffed coldly, “You follow me! I have words to speak to you alone!” Not giving her any chance to reject, she turned around towards the carriage they had borrowed from Lingyun Sect.

When she saw that six Windrider Foals were slain in front of the carriage, Xuanyuan Yiren calmed down once more, a tragic sadness appearing on her face. She didn’t hesitate to enter the carriage.

The current Li Yunniang had surprisingly not followed behind, looking pitifully and beggingly at the half-monster teen beside her.

Zong Shou scoffed coldly, taking his sword sheath to casually tap a few times on her leg. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief and run like she was being chased by a devil.

When she charged into the carriage, she saw Xuanyuan Yiren staring at her with a dark expression. After a short while, Yiren burst out laughing. “Sister Yunniang, you are a Xiantian master! Even those big sects don’t dare to underestimate you, not to mention that you have spent time together with me since I was young. In the future, even if I marry Zong Shou, I will treat you well. Why did you have to massage his legs to get in his good books? If he dares to bully you, I’ll pinch his ear!”

As she said that, her soft face turned slightly red. Her expression was a magnanimous one, but with just some slight look of being ashamed.

Li Yunniang felt bitter. Where was getting into his good books her intention? This Gantian Mountain Prince would definitely take revenge, and he had a devil-like personality.

In a short two hours he had totally tortured her. She massaged his legs to stop him and she had no choice, but to kneel there. If she rejected, he would use his sword to torture her again!

Who knows where he learned that technique from, she didn’t feel pain but just really ticklish and she wanted to laugh until she fainted.

Being killed was better than being humiliated like that. Luckily Xuanyuan Yiren returned early and saved her from that disaster. After massaging his legs, who knew what kind of tortures would be next?

Xuanyuan Yiren didn’t notice anything, her expression turning solemn once more, “Did you see that Xuanwu Ancestor? Who was it from Gantian Mountain? How did he kill Li Yaling?”

Li Yunniang hesitated once more, she wasn’t willing to lie to Xuanyuan Yiren. After thinking about it for a moment, she shook her head, “Little Miss, I didn’t see the Xuanwu Ancestor. As for the specific situation, it’s not for me to say and I can’t say it!”

“Why not?” Xuanyuan Yiren muttered, knowing that with Li Yunniang’s personality she definitely wouldn’t randomly speak to her. Since she couldn’t say, she definitely had her reasons.

Her expression turning serious, Xuanyuan Yiren buried this doubt in her heart. “Did the person instruct you after he left?”

She felt more uncertain of his intentions, only feeling that that person’s personality was really cunning and dangerous.

Although he was teasing her, it wasn’t certain that he didn’t have any killing intent.

However this matter had nothing to do with Xuanyuan Yiren. Thinking about it, Li Yunniang asked with a weird expression, “Little Miss, if one day you realize that Prince Zong Shou isn’t the trash that everyone thinks he is, and is even stronger than that Hundred Thousand Blood Killer Li Yaling; that those people that want to kill him are like ants and clowns, not worth a mention… what would you do?”

“Why did you ask that? How is such a thing possible?” Xuanyuan Yiren laughed, not answering that. However, she saw that Li Yunniang was really serious. She couldn’t help but feel weird, but without thinking much about it, she casually said, “Isn’t that better? If he has such ability I’ll be at ease. However, before he is able to ascend to the throne of Monster King, I will follow him through all his troubles since we are husband and wife! We should follow each other in life and death! After he sends marriage custom gifts to my family, it should be time to complete the marriage. When the marriage matter is solved, I will return to Pill Fountain Sect to cultivate…”

Li Yunniang was really dispirited, having expected such an outcome. She replied without any energy, “Didn’t Little Miss hate this Zong Shou? He doesn’t need anyone to protect him anymore, so why not annul the marriage? It won’t go against your values!”

Xuanyuan Yiren couldn’t help but laugh, her face showing disagreement. “Sister Yunniang, if the Prince is a talent that means my eyes have failed me and I am unable to see someone clearly. I should try to understand him more and learn more about him, why would I use previous impressions to judge him? Furthermore, I didn’t hate him in the past, I just didn’t like being a chess piece of adults…”

Li Yunniang was still unwilling to give up. “Then what if he annuls it?”

Xuanyuan Yiren was startled before thinking carefully. After a long while, her face flushed unusually red, her tone determined, “If it was fifteen days ago, maybe I would agree! But now it is impossible. The elders had seven reasons for abandoning the wife. I haven’t even hit one, so how can he annul the marriage? This matter is settled, don’t talk about it anymore!”

Li Yunniang sighed, following which a thought entered her mind, “Please allow me to ask one more thing. That Mysterious Moon Wood Brilliance Method, is it only solvable by the Mysterious Cloud Spirit Sect’s Pill?”

“That’s not certain. The Sect has many spiritual pills in our records that can solve it, only that several ingredients are rare. We should be able to refine it, but we might not have enough of them…” Xuanyuan Yiren explained as she shook her head. Just as she was halfway through her sentence, a strong giddiness struck her. She fainted onto the mattress.

Li Yunniang was shocked and rushed to help her up. Just as she touched her skin, her body shook, nearly exclaiming out loud. She could feel that what she touched was ice cold without any warmth. A moment later it turned into a fiery heat.

——

At the same time, sixty miles away Yuan Ding sighed as he stowed the cage around him.

It retracted back into the ball shape from before, but there were now some small dents and holes and also signs of it being burned.

“This Grade Four Spiritual Artifact Thousand Thread Cage was actually destroyed to such an extent..”

He wasn’t worried about the artifact, but stunned by her craziness.

Yuan Ding casually tossed it into his sleeves following which he looked out into the distance in a depressed and worried expression, “Small Energy Burning Pill, Crazy Demon Needle Technique. How badly is Junior Sister hurt now? Her vital energy is corrupted and her energy used up, will it cause the hidden problems of the Mysterious Moon Wood Brilliance Method to explode out early? I remember that she has a few small replenishment energy pills, but did she take them in time? What a bother! Why is her personality so stubborn? If my master and Senior Masters find out, they will skin me alive! Senior Brother ah, Senior Brother, you really got me in trouble this time. How am I going to explain it when I return?

“That Zong Shou really deserves to die!”

He instantly pushed all the blame to that Gantian Mountain Prince who he had never seen before. A killing intent rose in his mind, and then he was filled with questions. “Xuanwu Ancestor? That’s not right! Before that person arrived, the three of them had already died and the Hundred Thousand Blood Killer’s aura also disappeared at that moment. Who did that? Could that Xuanwu Ancestor kill from a distance away?”

Yuan Ding frowned. It seems like this Prince wasn’t as simple as he thought. To deal with this matter, he had to have a carefully thought out plan…
