"So Aunt, next, they probably want to skip over the past and get you and Ye Hua married directly, since you already have a marriage agreement."
Feng Jiu carefully observed Qi An's expression and asked her, "Aunt, will you still marry Ye Hua and become the Crown Princess?"
Qi An listened to Feng Jiu recount the rest of the story while munching on sunflower seeds, and in the process, he didn't forget to complain to Ata.
"Tsk, becoming Bai Qian really changes things. She slaps the Nine Heavens in the face so hard, and they don't even dare to utter a fart."
Ata: "That's right, a bunch of cowards. They only dare to bully mortals who can't fight back. If they're so capable, they should come to Qingqiu and confront them head-on."
Upon hearing Feng Jiu's question, Qi An spat out a sunflower seed shell and raised an eyebrow: "Marry him? Am I crazy?"
What kind of bullshit is this Crown Princess of the Celestial Clan? She's still under the Heavenly Emperor and Empress, and there's also a whole bunch of elders like Ye Hua.
Even if she outlives the Heavenly Emperor and Ye Hua ascends to the throne, and Bai Qian becomes the Heavenly Empress, she will still be subordinate to Ye Hua.
Nothing beats being the Queen of Qingqiu.
Your immediate superiors are like your own parents; they'll give you anything you ask for, and you even have a successor, Ali.
Her brothers doted on her to the extreme, and each of them was indifferent to fame and fortune, always wanting to quit.
If she ever gets tired of being a female ruler, she could simply become the Empress of Qingqiu, and the entire Bai family would wholeheartedly support that.
Being the Crown Prince's consort was already a disservice to Bai Qian, not to mention that Ye Hua was such an unreliable scumbag.
People and power, they have to get something out of it, right?
How brain-dead must she be to give up her status as the Queen of Qingqiu to become the Crown Princess for a scumbag?
My husband is a king, but how can that compare to being a king myself?
Feng Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest: "That's good, that's good."
She was truly afraid that her aunt would be blinded by love, forgive Ye Hua, and remarry into the Nine Heavens as the Crown Princess.
In that case, without a female ruler, the Eastern Wilderness would have to take her place.
She has no desire to be a female ruler; it would hinder her pursuit of Emperor Donghua.
Fortunately, Qi An didn't know what she was thinking, otherwise he would have laughed himself to death.
Compared to Bai Qian, Bai Fengjiu is the most love-obsessed person in Qingqiu.
However, she was luckier and had better judgment than Bai Qian, and Donghua was much better than Ye Hua.
Qi An waited in Qingqiu for the Heavenly Emperor to make his move.
That day, Ata suddenly called out to her, "Boss, Mo Yuan has woken up."
So fast!
Qi An was somewhat surprised.
Mo Yuan's soul fragments had only been gathered for a short time, and he should have woken up later than Bai Qian, but he woke up first.
Qi An closed his eyes and sank into his sea of consciousness. Sure enough, a slender and tall figure stood beside Ata, staring intently at Bai Qian's soul.
Ata was chattering away on the side.
The mere sight of that figure standing there so casually was enough to deter anyone from offending him.
This is Mo Yuan, the master of Kunlun Ruins and the number one war god of the four seas and eight wastelands.
Hearing the commotion, Mo Yuan turned around and bowed to Qi An with his hands clasped.
"Thank you so much, senior, for saving my beloved disciple and helping me repair my soul. I, Mo Yuan, am deeply grateful for your kindness."
Qi An waved his hand: "No need to thank me. Bai Qian and I just got what we needed. It's nothing to be grateful for."
Mo Yuan still bowed down solemnly, willingly.
Qi An noticed that Mo Yuan's eyes were red, and when he looked at Bai Qian's soul, his eyes were filled with deep, unyielding heartache.
Qi An clicked his tongue inwardly. The way this master looked at his disciple... wasn't exactly innocent, was it?
Could it be that Mo Yuan likes Bai Qian?
If that's true, that would be wonderful.
Qi An looked at them again and again, and still felt that the two of them were a match made in heaven, whether in terms of their names, identities, or appearances.
Bai Qian and Mo Yuan, these are definitely couple names.
Most importantly, Mo Yuan would never allow Bai Qian to suffer even the slightest harm.
"You know about Bai Qian's situation?" Qi An asked him.
Mo Yuan nodded. While Ata was repairing his soul, she kept talking about Bai Qian's experiences, and Mo Yuan heard it all.
It was his incompetence that caused his little seventeen to suffer so much over the years.
Now that he's awake, it will never happen again.
Qi An stood with his hands behind his back: "I've already helped her kill Su Jin. As for Ye Hua, Bai Qian doesn't want to kill him; she only said she wants to sever all ties. So, do you want to kill him?"
Qi An thought that if Mo Yuan killed Ye Hua, she wouldn't be breaking her deal with Bai Qian.
Mo Yuan paused for a moment: "I want to, but I can't."
"Why?" Qi An asked curiously.
“Because Ye Hua is also the son of the Father God, and he is my… younger brother.” Mo Yuan closed his eyes.
If it weren't for that, he would definitely have killed the person who hurt Xiao Shiqi.
After learning the whole story, Qi An was speechless.
Oh well, I see.
Ata scoffed, thinking, "That guy got off easy."
Qi An hesitated for a moment, but couldn't resist his gossipy nature and tentatively asked, "You have feelings for Bai Qian..., don't you...?"
Mo Yuan interrupted him, affirming, "Yes!"
Before he could tell Bai Qian his feelings, he sacrificed himself to the Eastern Emperor Bell, leaving behind only the words, "Wait for me."
When I opened my eyes again, everything had changed.
His beloved little disciple was hurt so badly by someone who was none other than his own younger brother, Ye Hua.
So you just readily admitted it?
Qi An admired Mo Yuan more and more. He patted Mo Yuan on the shoulder and said, "It's alright, there's still time. Remember to keep a close eye on people and protect them in the future."
Mo Yuan nodded heavily. This time, he would definitely protect her well and not let anyone else have her.
After that, Mo Yuan never left Bai Qian's soul again, and even took over Ata's work, personally helping Bai Qian heal her injuries.
The spiritual energy in Qingqiu was extremely rich, and Qi An and Ata began their daily routine of frantically absorbing spiritual energy and diligently cultivating.
Three months later, Ye Hua was finally able to get out of bed.
Ye Hua's parents personally brought him to Qingqiu for a visit.
Hundreds of Celestial servants accompanied them, carrying boxes filled with priceless treasures.
He also brought a letter from the Heavenly Emperor, inviting the future Crown Princess of the Heavenly Clan to visit the Nine Heavens.
Ye Hua's mother even asked to meet A-Li.
From beginning to end, nothing about Susu was mentioned, as if she had never existed.
At the entrance to Qingqiu, Bai Fengjiu observed this arrangement, which was ostensibly a visit but in reality a betrothal ceremony.
He didn't even bother to roll his eyes, simply closed the entrance, and ran off to inform Bai Qian.
While Qi An and Feng Jiu were still on their way, Bai Qian's mother and four brothers had already gone there upon hearing the news.
As for the Fox Emperor, unless the Heavenly Emperor himself comes, a mere prince of the Heavenly Clan is not worthy of being personally greeted by the Fox Emperor.
Of course, the others weren't there to greet them either.
From afar, one could see the mockery and disdain on the faces of the Bai family, as well as the embarrassment and eagerness of Ye Hua's family of three.
Even the Celestial Clan attendants following behind them lowered their heads in embarrassment.
The reason is simple: the Bai family made their disdain too obvious.
Seeing that her attempts to get close to Ye Hua and curry favor were all in vain, Ye Hua's mother lost her self-respect.
She didn't actually want Ye Hua to marry Bai Qian because Bai Qian's status was too high and her family was too powerful.
Not only is she difficult to control, but her son will probably have to act subserviently in front of her.
She preferred a daughter-in-law like Su Jin, who loved Ye Hua dearly and was obedient to her.
But unfortunately, her only grandson was taken away by Bai Qian, and Ye Hua was bewitched by that fox spirit.
She didn't want Bai Qian, but she couldn't bear to part with her son and grandson.
I had no choice but to hold my nose and bear it.
However, even though they no longer pursued Bai Qian's actions at the Execution Platform, the Bai family remained relentless in their pursuit.
Ye Hua's mother, suppressing her anger, said to the Fox Queen, "My dear in-laws, we have come to visit with all the proper etiquette. Is this how Qingqiu treats its guests?"
