"Hurt me?"
Xiahou Qingyu couldn't help but laugh. "Your way of showing love for me is to constantly use me to arrange marriages? Song Yuanze was one thing, but now there's Pei Zhong. He was killed by Song Yuanze on the eve of his wedding. Unmarried and widowed, I became the laughing stock of the entire Wanjian Spirit Realm. Everyone says Fairy Qingyu is a jinx and shouldn't be married."
"I was humiliated by Song Yuanze so much. As a family, it's fine if you didn't avenge me. But why, after I achieved success in my cultivation and wanted to avenge myself, did you repeatedly obstruct me under the pretext of the four great families wanting to unite?"
"Now, in order to maintain a good relationship with the Pei family, you are marrying me off again, to an old man who is almost the same age as my father and has lost his wife. Is this what you call caring for me? Loving me? Protecting me?"
The head of the Xiahou family: "..."
He was speechless for a while after being rebuked by Xiahou Qingyu, but he soon found his voice again and said stubbornly, "No matter what, since you were born into the Xiahou family, you are a member of the Xiahou family. You must contribute to the Xiahou family throughout your life. If you betray the Xiahou family, you will be disloyal and unfilial!"
"Hahaha...what a big hat!"
A cold light flashed in Xiahou Qingyu's eyes. "Who doesn't know how to put accusations on others? I even said that as the head of the Xiahou family, you, my brother, actually betrayed your own people and your own sister in exchange for personal gain. This is unkind and unjust!"
"...You, you," the Xiahou family head pointed at Xiahou Qingyu with trembling fingers, "Qingyu, you've changed! You've been led astray by those people!"
Xiahou Qingyu wasn't embarrassed at all. Instead, she said frankly, "I feel like I've found my true nature. We're all human. Why should I sacrifice myself for your benefit?"
"Qingyu, how can you say that?" The head of the Xiahou family took a deep breath and continued to persuade, "You and I both have the surname Xiahou. Everything we do is for the Xiahou family. As a member of the Xiahou family, of course you must sacrifice for the Xiahou family."
"Oh!"
Xiahou Qingyu felt it was becoming more and more ridiculous.
sacrifice?
May I ask, what did my brother sacrifice?
Did he sacrifice his precious time to handle the duties of a family head? And then let him become the most prestigious person in the four great families, and become a figure admired by everyone in the Ten Thousand Swords Spirit Realm?
He really sacrificed enough!
It was obvious that she was the only one who sacrificed from beginning to end, but her brother could shamelessly say the words "sacrifice too". Why didn't she realize that her brother's true face was so hateful before?
"We both have the surname Xiahou. Why do you get to represent the Xiahou family, while I have to become a tool for them to profit? Since having the surname Xiahou has brought me so much misfortune, I don't think there's any need to keep it!"
Xiahou Qingyu pulled up a sarcastic smile and said firmly, "It just so happens that my mother's surname was Xia when she was alive. From now on, I will be called Xia Qingyu!"
Hearing that Xiahou Qingyu, no, Xia Qingyu actually changed his surname, the head of the Xiahou family instantly became furious. He immediately gave up the idea of continuing to persuade Xia Qingyu.
"You traitor, today this family head will kill you to set things right!"
After saying this, the aura of the head of the Xiahou family, who was at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, was fully unleashed, and the long sword in his hand exuded an extremely sharp sword intent.
Xia Qingyu took a step back and looked at the head of the Xiahou family opposite him vigilantly, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
After days of hard work and forgetting to eat and sleep, she successfully advanced to the Spirit Transformation Realm, but after all, the time was short and her realm was still unstable, so she was far from being a match for the head of the Xiahou family.
The difference in strength is too great, it seems I can only proceed with caution...
With a thought, Xia Qingyu's natal sword, Qingyu Sword, appeared in her hand. She observed the every move of the head of the Xiahou family, ready to fight him at any time.
"Ha ha!"
The head of the Xiahou family laughed loudly. "Are you scared? Qingyu, if you surrender now and admit your mistakes, I, your brother, will spare your life because you have been obedient over the years and let you continue to serve as the wife of the head of the Pei family."
"Oh, how dare I compete with your son for this good job?"
Xia Qingyu sneered in response, "After all, Xiaoyu has already married the head of the Pei family. A son who is married off is like spilled water. He is now a member of the Pei family, and he is the only one who can be the wife of the head of the Pei family."
“…You’re looking for death!”
When the head of the Xiahou family heard Xia Qingyu mention his poor son who was married off by mistake, his face turned completely dark and he immediately launched his attack.
"Three Killing Sword Techniques, Two Thoughts to Kill!"
In an instant, the eyes of the head of the Xiahou family were filled with terrifying sword intent, and two golden lights suddenly lit up when he swung his sword!
The golden light took the shape of a snake, more than ten feet long, and contained sharp sword energy. It was rapidly swimming towards Xia Qingyu, trying to encircle and attack her.
"Three Killing Sword Techniques, a single thought kills!"
Xia Qingyu also used the same sword technique as the Xiahou family master, but she only cultivated to the first level...
As her eyes lit up, the murderous sword energy turned into golden light and shot straight towards one of the golden snakes!
After the golden light touched the golden snake, it immediately cut it in half. The broken golden snake fell to the ground, twisting and turning, no longer able to attack.
Unfortunately, Xia Qingyu's attack could only deal with one golden snake. The other golden snake behind her was still attacking her and was about to hit her in the back.
At this critical moment——
Rumble!
There was a sudden earthquake.
"What's going on?"
"Why is the ground shaking beneath my feet?"
"Is this an earthquake, or did one of the fellow Taoists cast an earth-based spell?"
…
Before everyone could figure out whether it was an earthquake, it was dark.
They looked up with full of questions in their hearts, and saw a black golem over a hundred feet tall suddenly appear on the battlefield.
The golem is towering into the clouds, with a huge body, ten arms, a hideous face, and is wrapped in armor made of demonic energy. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it was created by a righteous monk.
This is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that the golden snake transformed from the sword move that the head of the Xiahou family just performed is now being pinched with two fingers by the golem. The reason why it is difficult is not the golem's problem, but the golden snake is too small for the golem, not even as big as her fingernail.
The golden snake that was terrifying just now was now like a small earthworm, struggling desperately between the golem's fingers.
Inside the golem.
Jiang Deng was observing the little snake through the golem's vision.
When she arrived at the battlefield just now, she saw that Xia Qingyu was in danger, so she directly caught the golden snake that was about to hit her.
but……
There was a hint of disgust in Jiang Deng's eyes as he looked at the little snake.
Tsk, is this the ultimate move of Patriarch Xiahou? It looks so useless.
"What kind of monster is this!"
The Xiahou clan leader below was so angry that he jumped up and down, "Quickly release this clan leader's snake!"
"Oh, okay, I'll let it go."
Jiang Deng smiled slightly, then applied force with his fingertips and made a light pinching gesture.
