My Cold and Elegant CEO Wife

Qingfeng Li walked toward the lobby of the inn, quickly arriving at Ya Yun’s side. His expression was one of surprise and joy as he asked, “What are you doing here?”

Ya Yun was very happy to see Qingfeng Li as well. Standing up from her seat, she replied, “After we parted ways, I kept walking east. Eventually, I came to this Emerald Lake City.”

Just as they were speaking, a man sitting in an adjacent seat gave a displeased huff.

This man wore icy silver robes embroidered with a glacier pattern at the sleeves. His whole body exuded a frigid energy, making him seem like a huge glacier.

Staring at Ya Yun, the man in the icy silver robes spoke. “Miss Ya Yun, who is this?”

Ya Yun frowned, evidently displeased with the man’s question. She wasn’t too fond of the man in the icy robes to begin with, but he had insisted on sitting beside her. And now, he was questioning her. Who did this guy think he was?

Ya Yun glanced over at the man in the silver robe and didn’t answer. She continued her conversation with Qingfeng Li. At this, the expression on the silver-robed man’s face grew dark. The situation had become awkward for him due to Ya Yun ignoring him. She was making it clear that Qingfeng Li was more important to her than himself.

The silver-robed man stood up and walked up to Qingfeng Li. “Who are you?” he questioned coldly. “Get away from Ya Yun.”

Qingfeng Li furrowed his brows, extremely displeased. He was speaking with Ya Yun right now. Who did this man think he was? How dare he try to order him around?

Qingfeng Li paused a moment, taken aback, before speaking. “And who are you? Why should I leave? Go mind your own business.”

The man in the icy robes spoke with a cocky expression, “Alright, I’ll tell you. I’m the Crown Prince of the Glacier Country. That’s the Emperor of Lingyun standing there beside you, isn’t it? Well, Lingyun is a much weaker than our Glacier Country. You’d better be a good boy and leave, or you’ll be sorry.”

Hearing the icy-robed man’s words, Qingfeng Li turned his head to the Sky Wolf Emperor. “Senior,” he asked, “was the Emperor of the Glacier Empire the one who attacked me at the Peach Blossom Inn?”

The Sky Wolf Emperor nodded. “Yeah,” he said, “that’s him.”

A flash of cold light danced across Qingfeng Li’s eyes. He was actually furious at the Emperor of the Glacier Country and everyone from that empire.

He was lucky that, at the time, the Peach Blossom She-Devil and the Sky Wolf Emperor were there to help him. Otherwise, Qingfeng Li would have been killed by the White-Haired Devil and the Emperor of the Glacier Country.

And now, the Crown Prince of the Glacier Country was here before him, acting cocky. What an idiot. Qingfeng Li was going to kill him to vent his rage.

Qingfeng Li abruptly raised his right hand with a lightning-quick motion. In a flash of whirling green wind, he slapped the hand heavily onto the face of the Crown Prince of the Glacier Country, leaving a red welt the shape of a hand. The impact broke off several teeth and sent his body spinning in place about a dozen times.

Qingfeng Li was now a master of the Half-Step Spirit Monarch Realm, whereas the Crown Prince of the Glacier Country was only at peak of the Ninth Level of the Supreme Realm. He was no match for Qingfeng Li and was unable to even react.

Around them, the self-cultivators witnessing the scene were struck by shock. They knew fully well how powerful the Crown Prince of the Glacier Country was. The Glacier Country was the most powerful Lower-Tier Kingdom, but now, their prince was being slapped around by Qingfeng Li.

“This man sure is cocky! He actually slapped the Glacier Country’s Crown Prince in front of all these witnesses.”

“The Crown Prince of the Glacier Country really lost face today. He was trying to show off in front of Ya Yun but got slapped in the face instead.”

“Did you notice? That man’s hand was really quick. I couldn’t even see him move.”

“Are you saying that this man is a half-step into the spirit monarch realm?”

The self-cultivators in the first-floor lobby of the inn all stood about chattering amongst themselves, their eyes filled with surprise.

The Crown Prince of the Glacier Country stood there, unable to move. He was completely dumbfounded.

He was the Crown Prince of the Glacier Country, second in power only to the Emperor himself. In his own country, he received the respect of many self-cultivators. Even here, in the Mystic Sun Realm, few dared to cross him.

And now, in front of the woman he fancied, he had been slapped in the face by Qingfeng Li. His whole face had swollen up and he looked like a pig. He could clearly feel the sting of the welt on his face.

The Crown Prince glared at Qingfeng Li, his face twisting in rage. His eyes were filled with hatred and killing intent. He really wanted to rip Qingfeng Li limb from limb.

“Qingfeng Li,” the Crown Prince said, his voice roiling with killing intent. “You bastard! How dare you hit my face? I’m going to kill you!”

With that, the Crown Prince of the Glacier Country abruptly drew out a broad blade. The blade was silver, with silver seal scriptures etched into its surface. This was a spiritual treasure of the zenith of the monarch level Ninth Class.

With the weapon in hand, the Crown Prince slashed toward Qingfeng Li’s head. He was filled with killing intent and intended to cleave Qingfeng Li’s head off his shoulders.

Qingfeng Li stood in place, expressionless and unmoving, until the blade of the Crown Prince was right in front of him. Then, he abruptly reached out with his right hand and caught the blade in his grip. Applying strength to his fingers, he snapped the blade clean in half, the pieces falling to the floor.

Seeing this, the Crown Prince of the Glacier Country’s pupils contracted, a hint of shock appearing in his eyes. It was only now that he realized the true difference in power between himself and Qingfeng Li.

He had been blinded by his rage and killing intent, wanting only to avenge himself. He had forgotten that the fact that Qingfeng Li was able to land a blow on his face meant that he was definitely extremely powerful. At the very least, he was stronger than the Crown Prince by a wide margin.

Qingfeng Li abruptly struck out with his right foot. In a lightning motion, he kicked the Crown Prince in the abdomen, sending his body flying a long way before it fell heavily to the ground.

The Crown Prince of the Glacier Country opened his mouth and spat out a spurt of blood. He was heavily injured, with several of his ribs having been broken, and his face was as pale as death. He could not even climb up off the floor.

With quick steps, Qingfeng Li walked up to the Crown Prince. He placed a foot on his face and spoke. “You want to kill me? Well, now I’m going to stomp you to death.”

At this moment, the Crown Prince of the Glacier Country felt extremely humiliated. But there was nothing he could do. His power wasn’t even in the same class as Qingfeng Li and he could raise no resistance. All he could do was allow himself to be beaten on.

Qingfeng Li lifted his right foot and stomped down toward the Crown Prince’s head, intending to crush his head. Just then, a beam of white light came flying from afar.

Qingfeng Li’s expression changed. His right foot kicked into the white light, emitting a loud bang.

He felt an immense pressure radiating toward him and took a step back. His attempt to stamp the Crown Prince of the Glacier Country to death was unsuccessful.

With a flash of white light, an old man appeared before the Crown Prince of the Glacier Country. His face full of anguish, the old man quickly lifted him off the ground and fed him an elixir. In just a few minutes, the wounds on the Crown Prince’s body were completely healed.
