"Um, Sister Zhaoyi..." Qu Xiangyun, who was standing to the side, realized what was happening and hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

"Shut up, do you have the right to speak?" To everyone's surprise, Consort Ning turned her head and glanced at her coldly.

"I……"

Qu Xiangyun felt wronged and angry, but for a moment she didn't know how to react.

Shen Qian was also speechless. Was this woman crazy? She was acting without any restraint in the home of Lord Luo Shen... Well, what could she do when her father was a top-tier noble?

But before sinking, he couldn't be bothered with all that.

"If you don't understand the subtlety, then I can be more direct... In my hometown of Jingcheng, only the girls working in hair salons dress like this."

He said earnestly before sinking in.

The entire room fell silent, and many people looked at Chen Qian with admiration.

"This is the first time I've heard anyone dare to describe Consort Ning like that..."

"He probably has no idea how crazy this woman is."

Although some subconscious whispers were hushed, how could they escape Ning Zhaoyi's ears?

"You're asking for it!"

Ning Zhaoyi screamed, never having heard such an insult before. A strong fragrance wafted over her, but she had already disappeared from the spot.

Just as Shen Qian raised an eyebrow, the air around him distorted slightly, and Shen Qian immediately relaxed.

Qu Bai made his move.

In what appeared to be a silent scene, two figures collided in mid-air, instantly unleashing a chaotic storm of elemental energy. However, thanks to the intervention of several powerful cultivators from the Mountain and Sea realms, the storm was contained within a ten-meter radius.

Boom!

Only then did the loud, delayed sound of the collision ring out, making people's eardrums ache.

As the storm subsided, the two figures in mid-air retreated.

"Qu Bai, are you sure you want to get involved?"

Ning Zhaoyi's eyes twitched as she returned empty-handed, and her originally beautiful face became slightly ferocious due to the slight distortion.

Shen Qian narrowed his eyes.

As expected, Qu Bai was at the Mountain and Sea level, and Ning Zhaoyi was also at the Mountain and Sea level as well... Moreover, judging from the fluctuations in her aura, she had at least reached the second level of the Mountain and Sea realm.

Ning Zhaoyi is only twenty-one years old. Among the younger generation in this manor, apart from Shen Qian, she is definitely considered young.

Such a level of achievement is truly outrageous.

However, Chen Qian was actually more concerned about Qu Bai.

Unfortunately, Qu Bai's power was too restrained just now, and Shen Qian couldn't judge his strength for the time being.

However, judging from his unassuming demeanor, he was certainly no less capable than Consort Ning.

"Consort Ning, I advise you to consider the occasion and think before you speak," Qu Bai, usually mild-mannered, said in a rare cold voice.

"Heh, how ridiculous. It seems like anyone can step on my head today?"

After a cold laugh, Consort Ning suddenly flipped her hand over and said, "I'd like to see if you're qualified!"

Two colorful wooden puppets appeared in her palms. Although Shen Qian did not know what they were, the dangerous aura surrounding them made his expression freeze.

"Consort Ning, let's stop here. This was just a farce by you young people, but if you insist on using forbidden items, don't blame me for being ruthless."

A calm yet unquestionable voice rang out, and then a stunningly beautiful young woman appeared in the sky above the manor.

Upon seeing Luo Shenbo appear, Qu Bai, who had been staring intently at the puppet, relaxed and returned to Chen Qian's side.

"What is that thing?" Shen Qian asked, not understanding.

"If I'm not mistaken, that should be 'Yama's Guide'."

Qu Bai's expression was solemn. Before Chen Qian could ask any further questions, he took the initiative to explain: "It is made by extracting the bones of the Mountain and Sea Corpses using some ancient forbidden technique that has disappeared. A Yama's Guidance can summon a violent Mountain and Sea Corpse Puppet. Once it locks onto a target, it will fight to the death."

"So, she was able to summon two Mountain and Sea Death Warriors of unknown strength with just a wave of her hand, ready to fight us to the death?"

Shen Qian pursed his lips and roughly understood what Qu Bai was saying.

"That's roughly the idea. Actually, it's more troublesome because these mountain and sea corpse puppets are not only poisonous all over, but also... they can self-destruct."

"Holy crap..."

Chen Qian was speechless for a moment. Although "self-destruction" is only a theoretical concept and rarely happens in reality, just hearing the two words is enough to send chills down one's spine.

"Having a top-tier prince as a father is awesome!"

All I can do now is sigh.
