Nanman Ning had nothing to say. She originally thought that the marriage alliance with the South China Sea Glass Palace was a sure thing, but she didn't expect that there would be unexpected complications.
With a gloomy face, Tian Haoze walked to Ximen Ruiyun and Ximen Chunxue and pulled Hua Rujin into his arms.
“Young Master Ximen, all I want is an explanation. Princess Ximen first instigated the three Hua sisters to bully Jin’er, and then she personally killed Jin’er.”
"Isn't it because I love Young Master Tian that I took such an extreme action? Tian Haoze, can't you see my true feelings?" Ximen Chunxue shouted weakly with all her might.
Ximen Ruiyun stared at her younger sister. So that's why she was making such a fuss—because she liked Tian Haoze?
"Haoze, let it go! There's nothing wrong with liking someone. Princess Ximen is trying to get you in her own way, and I haven't hurt anyone, so let it go!" Hua Rujin said softly. Why should women make things difficult for each other? The more women who like Haoze, the more it proves that Haoze is a good person.
"You're so kind-hearted, but in the end, all you get in return is people wanting to kill you." Tian Haoze glanced at her unhappily, but his face was full of doting affection.
Ximen Chunxue watched, her heart filled with jealousy. She bit her lower lip tightly, constantly asking herself, "Where exactly does she fall short of Hua Rujin?"
Nangong Ziyan was being held hostage by Beiming Yaowei and headed towards the back mountain of the island lord's mansion.
Sima Jiaorong, Nangong Yuze, and Dongfang Yifei's group relentlessly pursued them.
"Bei Ming Yaowei, release my daughter and we'll let you leave?"
Sima Jiaorong couldn't bear to see her daughter being choked and taken away. Her daughter, whom she had loved to the core since childhood, was now being choked and taken away by someone else. She was so angry that she wanted to kill someone.
"Madam Nangong, do you think I'm a fool? If we release Nangong Ziyan, do we even have a way to survive?" Bei Ming Yaowei sneered as he glanced at Nangong Ziyan. As long as he had Nangong Ziyan in his hands, even Bei Ming Haotian wouldn't dare to do anything to him. Nangong Ziyan was his lifeline now.
"So what exactly do you want?" Dongfang Yifei asked coldly, looking for an opportunity to save Nangong Ziyan.
"Oh! Young Master Dongfang, don't forget, we're allies. In my opinion, it's best if Young Master Dongfang doesn't get involved in this matter!"
Bei Mingyaowei suddenly looked at Dongfang Yifei with a meaningful expression.
"She's Bei Mingyaowei's woman now. There are plenty of women in the world, why does Young Master Dongfang need to..."
"Shut up. I'm asking you, what do you want in order to release Yan'er?"
Dongfang Yifei's face was gloomy, and his voice was unusually cold.
Nangong Ziyan looked at him and knew that he actually cared about her a lot, but why did he do something like blowing up the ship?
"Don't worry! Once I've safely returned to the Netherworld Continent, I will naturally release Miss Nangong."
"Bei Ming Yaowei, are you insane? My daughter can't withstand a long journey. Release my daughter now, or don't blame me for being impolite."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Yuze felt an inexplicable anger surge from the bottom of his heart, burning with murderous intent.
"Nangong Yuze, watch your tongue. Don't forget who I have in my hands."
Bei Mingyao looked at Nangong Yuze triumphantly and instantly increased the pressure on his hands.
"Ah!" Nangong Ziyan cried out in pain, the feeling of suffocation making her desperately need fresh air.
Nangong Ziyan cursed Beiming Yaowei in her heart. Damn it, so what if he has a high cultivation level! He always bullies her because her cultivation level is low. She really wanted to poison him to death...
"Yan'er..." Sima Jiaorong stopped in her tracks, her delicate brows furrowed, and she looked at Bei Ming Yaowei with murderous intent in her eyes.
"Father, there's a cliff behind us, what should we do?" Bei Mingyuehen exclaimed in surprise as he looked behind them.
"What?" Bei Mingyaowei looked back. Oh no, he had taken the wrong turn.
Upon hearing this, Nangong Ziyan knew that her opportunity had arrived.
He gently sprinkled the bottle of medicine in his hand.
There was no other way! With her low cultivation level, she always carried several bottles of poison or secret medicines with her to protect herself and her life.
"What does that smell like?" Bei Ming Yaowei sniffed it in confusion, and a wave of dizziness washed over him. Bei Ming Yaowei looked at Nangong Ziyan with a sinister look. She actually dared to poison him. He had forgotten that she was already a pharmacist who had passed the Heavenly level.
Bei Mingyaowei felt completely powerless, and his grip on Nangong Ziyan's hand slowly loosened.
Nangong Ziyan felt it was time, and suddenly used all her power to push Beiming Yaowei away and ran towards Sima Jiaorong.
Little did they know that Bei Ming Yuehen had already sensed something was wrong. He instantly fed a bottle of antidote into Bei Ming Yaowei's mouth and used his spiritual energy to forcefully pull Nangong Ziyan back.
"Ah!" Nangong Ziyan's body flew backward continuously. At this moment, she was so frustrated that she wanted to kill someone. How could she have forgotten about Beiming Yuehen?
This gave Sima Jiaorong an opportunity, and she instantly moved towards Nangong Ziyan.
