"How could the Demon Lord be so cruel? What did Princess Chunxue do to deserve such a brutal attack?"
Baili Yuechan's red lips moved slightly, the corners of her lips twitching gently, her voice soft yet carrying a hint of questioning and accusation, as if it could drip water.
Ximen Ruiyun, who was holding Ximen Chunxue, paused slightly. Ximen Chunxue in his arms became heavier. At this moment, Baili Yuechan was extremely beautiful in Ximen Ruiyun's eyes.
Looking at Ximen Ruiyun's expression, Baili Yuechan's eyes shone with a light. She had done so much, but what was it all for? She didn't even know herself. Ximen Ruiyun was a good man, but he appeared too late. Her heart already belonged to someone else. That cold and ruthless man wasn't entirely heartless; he only cared about those he cared about. She wanted to be one of them.
However, seeing that Ximen Chunruiyun did not suspect her, she was secretly relieved and felt a surge of unprecedented joy. She was sure that Ximen Chunruiyun would stand by her side.
"By the way, Chan'er, how did you end up here?"
Ximen Ruiyun eased her grief, put away Ximen Chunxue's body, and stood up to face Baili Yuechan, her eyes even gentler than before.
Baili Yuechan paused, startled. Did he still doubt this? Now she had to present a kind face to Ximen Ruiyun and Beiming Haotian. If their disguised scheme was exposed, she would have no leverage. She wouldn't be foolish enough to use such tricks again, especially since she was the mastermind this time. If Ximen Chunxue hadn't died, he would definitely seek revenge. She knew this perfectly well. She had been by Ximen Ruiyun's side during his most desperate and heartbroken times; he would surely be deeply moved.
As for Nangong Ziyan, she would never let her go so easily. However, she would not act rashly without absolute certainty. Nangong Ziyan had given her a lot of trouble.
On the last full moon night, she shouldn't have listened to that woman in red at all; she should have killed Nangong Ziyan.
"Chan'er was just about to go out for a stroll when she saw the Demon Lord leading a group of people towards the back mountain. Chan'er also wanted to see if something had happened, so she followed along. Unexpectedly, she saw Princess Chunxue..."
Baili Yuechan didn't continue speaking, her face filled with sadness.
Ximen Ruiyun's heart was filled with emotion as she looked at Baili Yuechan with gratitude.
"Chan'er, you don't need to be too sad. I will avenge Xue'er in the future."
With a determined look on his face, Ximen Ruiyun said that after returning, he would send a message to the Western Regions, as the Western Sea Continent was not to be trifled with.
"Ruiyun, you must also grieve in moderation. The dead cannot be brought back to life. Now, all we can do for Princess Chunxue is to avenge her and let her rest in peace."
Baili Yuechan deliberately emphasized the word "revenge," reigniting Ximen Ruiyun's hatred that had calmed him down. He was determined to avenge this.
Upon seeing this, Baili Yuechan's body suddenly stiffened, and a hint of satisfaction flashed quickly in her eyes. Her eyes stared straight at Ximen Ruiyun, filled with disbelief and astonishment, yet also with a hint of joy. The hatred that this man had unleashed was too intense; he would be her best helper.
Upon returning to the young master's residence, Fei Ping and Fei Fan were led to their rooms to rest, both having sustained injuries of varying degrees.
“Feiping, Feifan, Ximen Chunxue’s cultivation level isn’t that high. How did you two brothers get kidnapped by her?”
Nangong Yuze asked with some disbelief, knowing the abilities of the two brothers, and that Ximen Chunxue was not capable of capturing them.
"Your Majesty, Fei Ping suspects that it was not Ximen Chunxue who captured us brothers, but someone else."
Fei Ping said with certainty, his body was a little weak. During the few days that he and his brother had been locked up, they had only drunk some water and eaten some wild fruit.
Upon hearing this, Nangong Yuze's sharp eyes suddenly darkened. It was someone else. Who could it be?
"No matter who it is, that person sent Yan'er alone, probably with the intention of killing her, and Ximen Chunxue was very likely being used by someone."
Tian Haoze voiced the question on everyone's mind: since the three Hua sisters were taught a lesson that day, they hadn't dared to act recklessly, so it couldn't be the three Hua sisters. Could it be her? Tian Haoze thought of Luan Ying. The figure that flew out of the inn that day looked so much like Luan Ying. He and Rui Chen chased after her that day, but unfortunately, she was too cunning, and they lost her. It seemed that he needed to investigate Luan Ying thoroughly.
Bei Ming Haotian remained silent, but in his heart he agreed with Tian Haoze's statement.
Nangong Ziyan remained silent, though she could guess in her heart who wanted to kill her...
"Alright, no matter who you suspect, Fei Ping and Fei Fan need to rest. You may all leave!"
Nangong Ziyan dismissed them, but Fei Ping and Fei Fan's kindness to her was something not everyone could do, and she wanted to stay and take care of them.
"Alright, Yan'er, you stay here so Fei Ping and Fei Fan can take a look."
Nangong Yuze sighed inwardly. He had a bad feeling and knew he had to get back to the South China Sea Glazed Palace as soon as possible.
Bei Ming Haotian glanced at Nangong Ziyan with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes. Was she going to kick him out too?
Nangong Ziyan simply pretended not to see it.
Bei Ming Haotian glanced at her with annoyance. What a cold-hearted woman... how cruel she was to kick him out. He was also terrified by her today. He needed comfort and care too. Deep down, Bei Ming Haotian was as stubborn as a child.
After everyone left, Nangong Ziyan picked up the porridge and fed it to Feiping. Feiping was more seriously injured, while Feifan only suffered some minor injuries.
