"Yes, Demon Lord."
Luanying clenched her fists tightly. She wanted to tell her that she wanted to stay by her side, but when the words reached her lips, she never had the courage to say them.
Luanying turned and left, but she didn't go towards the Netherworld Palace; instead, she went to another place.
"Haotian, Luanying, she..."
Never mind, Nangong Ziyan decided not to ask any more questions; perhaps she was overthinking it.
"Yes, I rescued it from the jaws of a monster. It has been loyal all these years, but it is a bit narrow-minded."
With his vast experience of seeing people, how could Bei Ming Haotian not see through Luan Ying's thoughts?
"I see!" Nangong Ziyan sighed inwardly. Perhaps she was overthinking it. She always felt that Luanying's intentions were impure.
"Yan'er..."
"Your subordinate greets the Demon Lord and Miss Nangong." A black banker instantly appeared beside Bei Ming Haotian.
Nangong Ziyan nodded; finally, there was someone who could see her.
Upon seeing the wandering soul, Bei Ming Haotian's eyes narrowed. Looking at Nangong Ziyan in his arms, he asked in a secret voice, "Wandering soul, what happened?"
The wandering spirit replied in secret: "Reporting to the Demon Lord, something has happened at the South Sea Glazed Palace. Baili Qingfeng attempted to steal the Shennong Scripture by crossing the Blood River, but was stopped by our people. Baili Qingfeng was injured and is recuperating on the South Sea Continent. He may still make a move when the opportunity arises."
"Go back and continue to monitor Baili Qingfeng. If he takes any further action, kill him without mercy." Bei Ming Haotian's eyes suddenly turned cold and ruthless.
Nangong Ziyan pouted. Weren't they just taking advantage of her low cultivation level and inability to use telepathy to communicate? What a pair of petty men! What's wrong with letting her hear it? They're making it all so mysterious, only making her more curious.
"Yes, Demon Lord."
The wandering spirit nodded to Nangong Ziyan and turned to leave.
"Huh! Is that all?" Nangong Ziyan shook her head in boredom. She really couldn't understand what these important figures were doing.
"Yan'er, let's go!"
When facing Nangong Ziyan, he showed a tender expression.
Back at the inn, Dongfang Yifei flew into a rage, smashing things all over the room. The place where he had been seriously injured by Bei Minghaotian the night before was still throbbing with pain.
Sima Jiaorong next door remained unmoved upon hearing this.
Dongfang Shuo looked at Sima Jiaorong with a puzzled expression.
"Madam, what I want to know is what Nangong Ziyan said to you? Why did she suddenly change her mind?"
When Dongfang Shuo heard his son throwing things, he knew that he was very angry because of his mother's actions, but she refused to give them an explanation and remained silent.
"Mother, why don't you answer Father's questions?"
Dongfang Yifei kicked open the door and walked in, looking at Nan Manning with a reproachful expression.
"How dare you, Fei'er! Look at your behavior in front of your parents! How have I taught you all this time?"
Nan Manying slammed her hand on the table. If she hadn't been caught doing something wrong, would she be the kind of person who would swallow her anger like this?
"Mother, can Fei'er calm down? Sixteen years of waiting, are we just going to let this matter just end like this? Nangong Ziyan is very special. After spending time with her these past few days, Fei'er has truly realized that she is the woman Fei'er wants. If I can't have her, Fei'er will regret it for the rest of my life."
Dongfang Yifei said with a wry smile, his figure staggering forward a few steps.
“Fei’er, listen to your mother. Nangong Ziyan said that she was not born for you, but for Beiming Haotian. You understand that forced love is never sweet. We’ll go back to the Eastern Region tomorrow. In the Eastern Region, what kind of daughter can’t you have? What’s so good about that Nangong Ziyan?”
Nanman Ning brought up what Nangong Ziyan had said. All she wanted to do now was convince her son that he had important things to do in the future. All her hopes were pinned on him.
"Mother, you've changed. Do you really believe what Nangong Ziyan says?" Dongfang Yifei loudly questioned Nanmaning.
Nanman Ning frowned and remained silent. There was no point in saying anything more; she couldn't tell Fei'er the truth yet.
“Madam, don’t you feel sorry for Fei’er seeing her in so much pain? No, I must speak with Nangong Yuze myself. You shouldn’t have stopped me earlier.”
Dongfang Shuo stood up. The prestige of their Eastern Region among the four continents could not be ignored by the South China Sea Continent. If this matter was left unresolved, how could their Eastern Region maintain its authority among the four continents?
"City Lord, can't you see? Sima Jiaorong and Nangong Yuze have no intention of marrying Nangong Ziyan to Fei'er. Let's wait and see. Fei'er, didn't you say that the Grand Preceptor of the Qihe Dynasty is trying to kill Beiming Haotian? Once Beiming Haotian is dead, why worry about not getting Nangong Ziyan?"
Nanman thought that she should persuade the father and son to give up the idea of marrying Nangong Ziyan for the time being, and then see how she would deal with Nangong Ziyan when the time was right.
“Mother, this is just a delaying tactic. Bei Ming Haotian’s cultivation is astonishing. Fei’er couldn’t even withstand a single move from him. Wu Gu Zi claims to be the best in the world, but he failed just like last night. How long are you going to make Fei’er wait?”
Dongfang Yifei roared loudly.
“Since Mother doesn’t want to help Fei’er, Fei’er has her own way of getting Nangong Ziyan.”
Dongfang Yifei flicked his sleeves, turned around, and angrily tried to leave.
"Stop, Fei'er. Haste makes waste. Haven't I told you before that you should not be impatient? When you are impatient, you will become agitated. When you are agitated, you cannot delve into the details of a matter or understand its essence. Be tolerant in small matters and you will win in big ones. Have you forgotten all the principles I taught you?"
Nanman Ning looked at Dongfang Yifei's retreating figure with a sense of disappointment and frustration.
"Fei'er, no matter what, prioritizing harmony and forbearance is the survival rule for those who achieve great things. You must understand the principle that a small act of impatience can ruin a great plan!"
Nanman Ning spoke earnestly, reminding him that he still had a long road ahead of him.
“But Mother’s teachings did not make Fei’er endure and get what she wanted. Father is here today, and Fei’er swears to you two that she will never, ever return to the Eastern Region without achieving something.”
After saying that, Dongfang Yifei strode out with a determined figure.
They happened to run into Baili Yuechan, who was about to go out.
"Hey! Young Master Dongfang, judging from your angry look, did things not go well?"
Baili Yuechan did not gloat, but her tone was slightly sarcastic. Dongfang Yifei, who was already furious, was further enraged by her words.
He gave Baili Yuechan a gloomy look, then instantly pulled her into his arms.
Baili Yuechan's eyes widened in shock; he had actually concealed his cultivation level.
"What? Now you're scared? This young master has always been one to advance in secret and retreat in order to advance, but even so, I still haven't gotten what I wanted. So let's start with you, Princess! Didn't you tell me that to win a woman's heart, you must first win her body? Your beloved Bei Ming Haotian took Yan'er's body, so shouldn't this young master take it back from you?"
