Upon seeing Ximen Chunxue, Nangong Ziyan's expression instantly turned sour. "What are you doing here?"
"What? Miss Nangong, can't I, this princess, stay here? This isn't the South China Sea Continent." Ximen Chunxue sneered, her eyes filled with intense hatred as she looked at Nangong Ziyan. If it weren't for her, her secret wouldn't have been known to the world.
"Did I say you can't stand here? This isn't the South China Sea Crystal Palace. Even if you stood like a statue, I wouldn't say anything. It's just that some people bark like wolves, with ill intentions, and it annoys me." Nangong Ziyan couldn't forget that arrow from that day. This Ximen Chunxue had always wanted to find an opportunity to kill her. His cultivation wasn't as good as hers, but he could at least show off with his words!
“Nangong Ziyan, you…”
“Brother, if you don’t leave, Yan’er and Haotian will leave.” Nangong Ziyan quickly interrupted Ximen Chunxue.
“Brother…” Ximen Chunxue’s eyes widened in shock. How could this young master be Nangong Ziyan’s brother?
"Let's go, why aren't we going!" Tian Haoze looked at Nangong Ziyan with a big smile. Last night, Yan'er and Haotian went out to play. I wonder if that silly boy Haotian seized the opportunity?
"Princess Chunxue, we'll meet again." Tian Haoze smiled gently, making Ximen Chunxue's face burn instantly, and she even had a misconception...
Watching Nangong Ziyan's retreating figure, Ximen Chunxue's face was filled with malice. "Nangong Ziyan, you have a way out every day, but you choose to walk into the gates of hell. You're doomed," Ximen Chunxue thought fiercely to herself.
"Xue'er, what are you doing standing there? We need to hurry on our way." Ximen Ruiyun frowned as he looked at his younger sister, fearing that she might provoke the Demon Lord, which would be a path of no return.
"Nothing? Big brother, Xue'er will go prepare right away." Ximen Chunxue disappeared from Ximen Ruiyun's sight in a flash.
Baili Jun'ao got up very early. Hong Yiming had also successfully escaped danger last night and returned to Zuixianlou before dawn.
Baili Jun'ao wasn't in a hurry to leave, but kept glancing up at the third floor.
Hong Yiming was puzzled and asked, "Your Highness, it's getting late. Although the road to Lingxian Island is not far, it's already early spring. The scenery along the way is enchanting, and many people choose to ride horses or walk. Very few people ride demonic beasts or divine beasts."
"Sit a little longer," Baili Jun'ao replied casually, though a sense of reluctance lingered in his heart, as if he had left something behind.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Just as Baili Jun'ao was drinking tea with his head down, Nangong Ziyan and Beiming Haotian came downstairs.
Hearing footsteps, Baili Jun'ao suddenly looked up, and a tender expression spread across his handsome face.
"Yan'er, are you also setting off today?" Baili Jun'ao stood up, ignoring Bei Ming Haotian and Tian Haoze.
Upon seeing Baili Jun'ao, Bei Minghaotian immediately recalled what Baili Jun'ao had said in secret the previous night. Instantly, jealousy surged within him, and he coldly glared at Baili Jun'ao.
"Hmm!" Nangong Ziyan nodded, her face expressionless.
"Miss Nangong, please." Baili Jun'ao smiled. Where there is chance, there is also inevitability. Their lives were destined to be intertwined from this moment on.
"Yan'er." Just as Nangong Ziyan was about to leave, she suddenly saw Dongfang Yifei hurrying in.
Dongfang Yifei, dressed in a magnificent red robe and wearing a purple-gold crown, walked straight toward Nangong Ziyan with dazzling brilliance and an air of refined elegance. At first glance, he was captivating, and some of the women in the restaurant cast shy glances at him. But only Nangong Ziyan knew that beneath that refined mask lay a beast in human clothing.
Nangong Ziyan's pretty face scrunched up. Dongfang Yifei had made her words very clear, and she also knew her two older brothers' tempers very well. She had gone to such lengths that even if her parents agreed, her two older brothers would not.
"Why are you here?" Nangong Ziyan asked, somewhat displeased.
Bei Ming Haotian moved to Nangong Ziyan's side, keeping a close watch on her safety.
Upon seeing Dongfang Yifei, Baili Jun'ao suddenly thought of his relationship with Nangong Ziyan, and felt a sense of unease.
However, Ximen Ruiyun and Ximen Chunxue, who had just come downstairs, had expressions of schadenfreude about watching a good show.
"Yan'er, why can't I come? I am your fiancé, so naturally I will follow you wherever you go." Dongfang Yifei laughed instead of getting angry. As long as his mother arrived, everything could be resolved. Nangong Ziyan, let's see where you can run to now.
"Dongfang Yifei, I've already made myself very clear to you. I would rather die than marry you, so stop pestering me." Nangong Ziyan didn't want to dwell on this issue any longer, but it was like her shadow, impossible to shake off.
Dongfang Yifei's words made everyone in the restaurant aware of Nangong Ziyan's identity, and they all cast curious glances at her, some even revealing greedy eyes. However, seeing Beiming Haotian beside her, no one dared to make a move.
Nangong Ziyan knew that Dongfang Yifei was doing it on purpose, and she knew exactly what he was planning, but she wouldn't let him succeed.
"Alright, Yan'er, stop being willful. After watching the Fengyun Tournament, we'll go back and get married. I, the young master, will accompany you to watch it." Dongfang Yifei ignored Nangong Ziyan's words and spoke softly, his expression gentle as he looked at her.
"Dongfang Yifei, I, Nangong Ziyan, will say it again: I will never marry you. I have already made it clear to you that the person I, Nangong Ziyan, am going to marry is him." Nangong Ziyan took Beiming Haotian's arm with both hands, her meaning couldn't be clearer.
Dongfang Yifei narrowed his eyes and looked at Bei Minghaotian. Did he really want to be an enemy of the four continents?
"Demon Lord, Yan'er is still young. Please, Demon Lord, have mercy and spare Yan'er! Demon Lord desires women, of all shapes and sizes, for you to choose from..."
"Shut up, Dongfang Yifei! Can't you speak like a human being? Don't spout nonsense like a blind man playing the zither. What do you mean by asking Haotian to show mercy? Don't think I don't know what you're up to! You just want the whole world to believe that the Demon Lord seduced me, don't you? Let me tell you, you'd better give up that idea, or I, Nangong Ziyan, will make you feel like a dwarf riding a big horse, caught in the middle." As soon as Dongfang Yifei opened his mouth, Nangong Ziyan knew what he was up to.
