Before the burly man could beg for mercy, a cold, sharp voice came from outside the shop, and several well-dressed men and women walked in, exuding an undisguised air of arrogance.

"Mu Tianhe, I don't want anything to do with you, so please don't disturb my peaceful life!" Bu Yao's tone was very calm, and she had long lost her former aloofness and superiority, giving people a sense of disappointment as she bowed to reality.

"I didn't mind that you had lost your virginity back then, and I could even accept that you insisted on giving birth to the baby in your womb, but why won't you marry me?" Mu Tianhe said angrily, clenching his fists.

"You don't deserve to raise his child!" Bu Yao said calmly, raising her head. Her tone was very calm, but the contempt in her words would be unacceptable to any man.

"I don't deserve it!"

Mu Tianhe gritted his teeth. He had once pursued Bu Yao madly, but had never received a second glance from her. He thought he would still have a chance after Bu Yao was demoted from a saintess to a servant, but he never expected to get this answer again.

"Ha, a mere servant dares to spout such nonsense!" The girl beside Mu Tianhe said coldly.

"Is it because of the demon spirit you picked up five years ago?" Mu Tianhe already had some killing intent.

"It's none of your business!" Bu Yao shielded Jiang Xiaoxiao behind her.

"Ha, I knew it was him!"

Mu Tianhe's eyes were icy as he said, "To protect him, you had your imperial lineage and cultivation resources severed, and you're imprisoned in this You Shi Peak for life. Was it worth it?"

"Whether it's worth it or not is none of your business!"

"Do you know that the Lord of Xingwen Mountain has lost his status as the Lord of the Mountain after his defeat? From now on, you, Bu Yao, will have no support in this Blue Hidden Divine Mountain!" Mu Tianhe's eyes were filled with sharpness.

Bu Yao frowned slightly. The Lord of Xingwen Mountain was her master. However, the two had not been in contact for several years after she lost her status as a saintess. She knew in her heart that it was because of her master that she had been able to live safely in Lan Yin Divine Mountain with a foreign race for the past five years.

"What's so great about that pretty boy? He's all looks and no ability to protect you. He's not worth your effort!"

"Follow me. Although my Mu family isn't very powerful, we still have some foundation in Blue Hidden Divine Mountain. Ensuring your safety for the rest of your life won't be a problem!"

Mu Tianhe still refused to give up on Bu Yao.

"Don't you dare bully my mother!" Jiang Xiaoxiao jumped out, hands on her hips, glaring angrily at Mu Tianhe.

“Xiaoxiao, your father actually died a long time ago, otherwise why haven’t we seen him all these years! You might as well stay with Uncle Mu, and he will take care of you and your mother!” Seeing that Bu Yao’s approach was not working, Mu Tianhe started to work on Jiang Xiaoxiao.

“My brother Bu Yuan can take care of me and my mother, I don’t need you to take care of me!” Jiang Xiaoxiao’s concept of her father was vague, so she wasn’t very angry when Mu Tianhe said this. On the contrary, she cared more about her mother and brother Bu Yuan who had been with her since she was a child.

"Xiaoxiao, come here right now!"

Mu Tianhe's emotions erupted instantly. His humble attitude only resulted in repeated rejections. The love in his heart had slowly turned into hatred. So when he saw Jiang Xiaoxiao, the illegitimate child that Bu Yao had with another man, he couldn't hold back anymore.

With a clang, the longsword was drawn, and Mu Tianhe swung it horizontally towards Jiang Xiaoxiao. Although he had no intention of killing her, he wanted to use Xiaoxiao to threaten Bu Yao.

"Mu Tianhe, you're asking for death!" Bu Yao's headscarf was shaken off, and just as she was about to make a move, space froze.

Jiang Yuan upstairs breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly lowered his raised hand.

"Master!" Bu Yao withdrew her power and immediately hugged Jiang Xiaoxiao back.

"Although I am not the mountain lord, I am not dead yet!"

Before the person arrived, their voice preceded their arrival, and then an elderly man with white hair slowly walked in from outside the door.

"Grandmaster, you've arrived!" Jiang Xiaoxiao ran happily into the old man's arms.

"Our little one is still so adorable!" The old man's expression immediately softened when he saw Jiang Xiaoxiao. He picked her up and coaxed her, showing none of the grandmaster demeanor he had displayed earlier.

"Lord Xingwen!" Mu Tianhe's face turned pale, and he immediately knelt down.

"Make a move against Xiaoxiao!"

The old man turned around, and then thousands of sword energies appeared out of thin air. Instantly, all of Mu Tianhe's group, except for one girl, were hit by hundreds of sword energies. "Today is just a lesson. Next time, you'd better think twice about whether the thing on your neck can withstand my sword energy!"

"Lord Xingwen, please forgive us, we'll leave right away!" Mu Tianhe adopted an extremely humble posture. He knew that although the old man in front of him had lost his status as the mountain lord, his strength was beyond doubt, and killing them would be as easy as turning his hand.

"etc!"

Jiang Xiaoxiao jumped down from Xingwen's arms and said in a pretentious tone, "You guys smashed up my shop, you have to pay me back!"

"this……"

The henchmen around Mu Tianhe looked bitter.

"One hundred thousand low-grade Holy Spirit Crystals!" Jiang Xiaoxiao counted on her fingers for Mu Tianhe to see.

"good!"

Mu Tianhe could only swallow his anger and, after taking out the Holy Spirit Crystal, fled with his men.

"puff!"

Not long after Mu Tianhe and the others left, the old man spat out a mouthful of blood.
