Xuan Fengqian bit her lower lip tightly, trying her best to suppress the anger in her heart.
Despite being mentally prepared, when she heard firsthand about Fu Chen's appalling behavior, she still felt utterly disgusted, as if she had swallowed a fly.
Needless to say, the person who harassed her last night was most likely Fu Chen, disguised as Di Jun.
Wuya recalled Fuchen's pale and eerie face under the dim candlelight and suddenly shivered.
It curled its small body into a ball and said with lingering fear, "Fuchen set up an unbreakable barrier in the secret chamber. I could only fight with my life, relentlessly ramming against the barrier. After breaking through the barrier, I was already seriously injured and couldn't return to Jiuyou in time. I could only seek help from Baidi nearby. Unfortunately, by the time I found Baidi, I had already forgotten what had happened before."
Xuanfeng gently rubbed Wuya's round little head, feeling heartbroken. "My dear bird, you've suffered."
Wuya rubbed his hand against Xuanfeng Qian's palm, barely holding back the tears that were about to spill from his eyes. With a forced smile, he asked softly, "Qian, Fuchen didn't succeed, did he? It must have been His Majesty who arrived in time and chased him away, right?"
"Say less."
Leng Ye swiftly reached out and pressed his hand against Wuya's mouth, stuffing it into his sleeve in one swift motion.
He tried his best to make Xuanfeng forget the unpleasantness of last night, but Wuya kept asking him all sorts of questions without any restraint, which made him very frustrated.
Fortunately, she was no longer as agitated as she had been earlier that morning.
Leng Ye secretly observed Xuan Fengqian's expression and subtly changed the subject, "Aqian, what are you planning to do next?"
"No one who has hurt me will escape."
Xuan Fengqian clenched his fists tightly, his eyes flashing with a chilling light.
Leng Ye was intimidated by the murderous aura emanating from her, and nervously swallowed, no longer daring to reveal the truth.
Xuanfeng glanced indifferently at Leng Ye, whose body was unusually tense, and casually asked, "What's wrong?"
"May I borrow your shoulder?"
At this moment, Leng Ye was terrified.
Only by holding her in his arms could he alleviate the anxiety and fear he felt.
"Pretentious."
Xuan Fengqian vaguely remembered that Leng Ye had once said to her with a look of disdain that she was being pretentious.
Now, she could finally return those two words to him exactly as they were.
"..."
Leng Ye felt ashamed and suddenly remembered the past.
He still remembered how, when Xuan Fengqian was trapped in the Nine Netherworld, he always tried to humiliate her, torment her, and verbally attack her.
Not only did he call her pretentious, but he also repeatedly said she was fickle and unworthy of him, and so on...
Looking back now, he really wants to slap himself twice.
She was such a good girl, how could he be so cruel and mistreat her like that!
Xuan Fengqian was completely unaware of Leng Ye's thoughts. She left the Demon Locking Tower and casually picked up a paper crane, whispering in his ear, "Go to the Nine Netherworlds immediately and tell her that you have been ordered by the Heavenly Empress to summon Xuan Qianning to the Dew Flower Palace for a small gathering. If Xuan Qianning refuses to come, tell her that the Heavenly Empress can help her conquer the man she longs for in one fell swoop."
Leng Ye followed closely behind her, protesting softly, "A Qian, can you stop pushing me onto other women? You know, you're the only one in my heart."
"Enough with the nonsense. Go find Fuchen and make sure he takes the Hehuan Powder. Once he's hooked, lure him to Luhua Palace."
Xuan Fengqian handed the Hehuan Powder to Leng Ye, saying it without room for discussion.
Leng Yejun's handsome brows furrowed slightly. He glanced down at the frail body and said with concern, "Your body has not fully recovered. I cannot unleash my full power. If we were to fight him, the chances of winning would be almost zero."
"Who told you to fight him? Couldn't you have used a more subtle method to trick him into taking the aphrodisiac?"
"I do not wish to sacrifice your beauty to seduce that despicable scum."
"If you mess this up, you're on your own."
Xuan Fengqian lost his patience and bluntly said a sentence before running towards Luhua Palace with great speed.
Right now, the most troublesome one is Ji Shuo, who has taken over Yuan Heng's flesh and blood body.
Xuan Fengqian truly did not want to harm Yuan Heng's body. If he wanted to force out Ji Shuo's soul, he could only wait for an opportunity to strike when her will was at its weakest and deliver a fatal blow.
—
Immortal Realm, Dew Flower Palace
Yuan Heng sat upright before the bed, gazing tenderly at the unconscious White Emperor. "Xuan Lang, even now, why won't you look at me properly? What's so good about that useless woman, Yuan Heng?"
The White Emperor's eyelids twitched slightly, but he remained lying on the couch, pretending to faint.
In fact, he had already become suspicious of her since she attempted to kill Wuya last night.
Yuan Heng is kind by nature and would never harm innocent lives without reason.
Furthermore, given her cold attitude towards Xuan Fengqian this morning, Bai Di was certain that this Yuan Heng was not the same Yuan Heng as before.
Left with no other choice, he had to play along, pretending to be drugged by her, and then taking advantage of her moment of vulnerability to force out her soul residing in Yuan Heng's body.
"Xuanlang, I have a surprise for you. In half an hour, that vile woman Yuanheng's soul will dissipate. Then, the two of us can stay together forever."
"As for Xuan Fengqian, I will naturally not let her off easily. Last night, I only gave her a small lesson. Once the Immortal Realm is completely in my hands, you can wait and see her being humiliated by a thousand men and ridden by ten thousand."
...
The White Emperor was furious. If he hadn't been afraid that Ji Shuo might harm Yuan Heng in his haste, he would have torn this vicious woman to pieces on the spot.
At this moment, he realized that Wuyai's urgent search for him last night was clearly to send him to save Xuanfengqian.
But he was thrown into disarray by her sudden fainting and could no longer care about anything else.
Thinking of this, Baidi was filled with remorse.
He never imagined that Xuan Fengqian would suffer such harm right under his nose.
Xuan Fengqian paused outside for a short while, and seeing that Ji Shuo, who was in Yuan Heng's body, was about to feed Bai Di medicine again, he suddenly pushed open the door and went straight to the bedside.
"What brings the Demon Lord here today?"
"Naturally, I'm inviting you to enjoy a good show together." Xuan Feng's thin lips curled into a cool, indifferent smile.
Ji Shuo stared at her warily, and asked timidly, "What does the Demon Lord mean by this?"
Xuan Fengqian smirked and made up a story: "Your precious daughter betrayed me, so naturally I will take revenge on her."
"Demon Lord, are you mistaken? Ning'er has always only had you in her heart, how could she betray you?"
Ji Shuo was thrown into disarray and inadvertently revealed his weakness.
Xuan Fengqian lifted her chin with one hand, his words full of mockery, "How can the Empress be so confused? She can even forget her own daughter."
