"Cicada, it's not that I can't entrust this to you, but I hope you won't act on your emotions. The cooperation with Young Master Dongfang has already been agreed upon. I hope you will marry Young Master Dongfang of the Eastern Continent. Now that the relationship between the South Sea Glazed Palace and the Eastern Region has broken down, Dongfang Yifei is extremely ambitious. Even for the sake of profit, he will choose to marry you without hesitation."
Wuguzi looked down at Baili Yuechan. Did he not know what she was thinking?
"Master, Chan'er disagrees..."
Baili Yuechan looked at him in disbelief and immediately rejected the idea. He actually wanted her to marry Dongfang Yifei. Didn't her master know how much of a scoundrel Dongfang Yifei was?
"Chan'er, this is the best way to further strengthen our relationship. You have no choice but to agree. Your master will discuss this matter with Dongfang Yifei."
After saying that, Wuguzi quickly disappeared from Baili Yuechan's room.
"No, I don't want to." Baili Yuechan slumped to the ground. Why should her fate be controlled by others? She didn't want it, she didn't want it. Baili Yuechan shook her head, tears streaming down her face.
Suddenly, the words of the woman in red flashed through Baili Yuechan's mind: Dongfang Yifei had another identity, which Nangong Ziyan knew, and Nangong Ziyan had even used that secret to threaten Nan Manying. She wanted to see what other secrets Dongfang Yifei had.
The night was dark and heavy, the oppressive atmosphere making it hard to breathe. Baili Yuechan gazed longingly out the window at the dark night sky, which was as dark as her heart at that moment. If she were to marry Dongfang Yifei, her life would be like this black-clad disguise, never seeing a ray of light.
In Baili Jun'ao's room, Baili Jun'ao, dressed in a snow-white robe, was spotless. His hair was tied up with a jade hairpin, and a faint scent of ambergris emanated from him. His posture was leisurely and elegant, like a man of refined grace in a painting. A radiant and beautiful aura emanated from his face and permeated the surrounding atmosphere. He and Hong Yiming were leisurely drinking tea. Baili Jun'ao's eyes were lingering on the dark night outside the window. His emotions had been fluctuating wildly these past few days, his heart entirely focused on Nangong Ziyan. Only when he knew she had returned safely did his heart begin to beat again, and only then did he feel truly alive.
"Your Highness, shall we set off for the Huiqi River Dynasty, or go see the glass exhibition at the South China Sea Glass Palace?"
Hong Yiming took a sip of tea and then asked.
After a long while, Baili Jun'ao finally said leisurely, "Let's go to the South China Sea Glass Palace to see the glass exhibition!"
He was still reluctant to leave. He didn't know when he would see her again after leaving. Baili Jun'ao smiled to himself. He never expected that he would lose his heart this time.
“Your Highness, judging from the current situation, Wu Guoshi and Baili Yuechan will not be interested in our affairs for the time being. With the merger of the Netherworld Continent and the Northern Netherworld Continent, given their ambition, they will definitely be busy with this matter. And right now they are right under our noses, so even if they want to do something excessive, we will find out quickly.”
Hong Yiming analyzed the pros and cons. After all, he had seen through Baili Jun'ao's thoughts, which was why he asked the question. Going back to the Qihe Dynasty now would only arouse suspicion from Wuguzi and Baili Yuechan.
"I heard that the glass ornaments of the South China Sea Glass Palace bring in a lot of money every year. I never thought that such a small glass ornament could generate such a huge profit."
"Each piece of glass ornament in the South China Sea Glass Palace has its own special meaning, which is what makes it valuable. It would be great to be able to see it in person this year and experience the story behind each piece of glass ornament."
Baili Yuechan wondered if any of those glass ornaments contained a story about her.
Suddenly, a man in black leaped in through the window and knelt respectfully before Baili Jun'ao.
Baili Jun'ao had just picked up his teacup when he saw the newcomer and frowned slightly.
"What is it?"
His tone was soft, without any emotional fluctuation.
"Your Highness, Grand Preceptor Wu has been very close to Dongfang Yifei, and he just left Princess Yuechan's room. According to Qianli Er, they want to use a love potion on Nangong Ziyan to break the relationship between the South Sea Glazed Palace and the Netherworld Continent. Grand Preceptor Wu also intends to form a marriage alliance with the Eastern Continent, and the person he will marry is Princess Yuechan." After the man in black finished reporting, he respectfully withdrew from the window.
After listening, Baili Jun'ao's teacup trembled slightly, and the pale yellow tea rippled and spread out in several circles.
A love curse? Wuguzi actually wants to use a love curse on Yan'er. He can't even do something so cruel. Does he want Yan'er to live a life without love, forever living in hatred?
“Your Highness, although the Grand Preceptor Wu has been helping the Qihe Dynasty, we all know in our hearts that Wu Gu Zi is only using the Qihe Dynasty to achieve his ambitions. However, the King and Baili Yue Chan treat him as a benefactor. If things continue to develop like this, Your Highness may be able to reap the benefits without having to do much.”
Upon hearing this, Hong Yiming was actually pleased, but when he thought about Baili Jun'ao's intentions, he felt a mix of joy and worry.
“Yiming, what you say makes sense, but…”
Baili Jun'ao hesitated, glancing at the sky. He thought, if he went to see her now, he probably wouldn't be able to! She should be with him now... Baili Jun'ao dared not think any further, for it would cause him unbearable heartache.
The one who was most furious was Ximen Ruiyun. Ximen Chunxue's death kept Ximen Ruiyun awake all night, and he got drunk. His heart was filled with boundless hatred for Beiming Haotian.
For the past two days, Dongfang Yifei has been hiding in his spatial ring to cultivate. Ever since he obtained the Demon Subduing Instantaneous Technique, he has become completely obsessed. Watching his cultivation level increase rapidly, he is amazed and cannot stop. He spends about four hours a day cultivating in his spatial ring.
