Xuanfeng Qian is not afraid of being rumored to be cursed as having a hard fate and bringing misfortune to her husband.
What she was more concerned about was who dared to commit massacres in the heavily guarded Ninth Heaven.
"Qi Yuan, do you know where Lord Lanling and the Second Prince of the Western Sea are?"
"The Emperor is on his way to the Southern Heavenly Gate to meet the Second Prince of the Western Sea. As for Lord Lanling, he has been waiting for you in the Qingfeng Palace for quite some time."
"It's good that they're both alright."
Xuan Fengqian always felt that all of this was directed at her.
But she couldn't understand why the mastermind behind it all would massacre the immortals she had been set up with on blind dates.
Could it be that all this trouble in the Nine Heavens was just to give her a reputation for being a jinx to husbands?
Doing so comes at a price that is far too high.
Qi Yuan glanced at Xuan Fengqian, who seemed lost in thought, and whispered timidly, "Your Highness, do you think these ten murders might all be the work of the Nine Nether Demon Lord? This morning, he disguised himself as Immortal Lord Chu of Penglai Mountain to see you. Perhaps he cruelly murdered Immortal Lord Chu before even meeting you?"
Xuan Fengqian was slightly taken aback, only then realizing that she had unwittingly excluded Leng Ye.
Logically speaking, based on the existing clues, Leng Ye's motive for committing the crime is indeed the strongest.
However, she would never make any hasty judgments about him based on prejudice before the truth came to light.
"Let's go back to Qingfeng Palace first. The deceased is gone; the most urgent task is to do everything in our power to protect Lord Lanling and the Second Prince of the Western Sea..."
Before Xuanfeng could finish speaking, he was pulled into a dream by a brute force.
Her brows furrowed, and her heart suddenly raced.
The power of the gods always foresees extremely terrible disasters, and she is truly worried about the disaster she foresees this time, which she believes she cannot escape even if she tries her best.
Furthermore, she harbored a concern deep in her heart.
Back when the power of the gods took effect last time, she had already discovered that the calamities she foresaw in her dreams might not necessarily happen in the real world.
In other words, the power of the gods may have been misleading her into making wrong judgments all along.
"So be it. What's meant to be will be.
Xuan Fengqian held his breath and concentrated, then with a sudden burst of strength, crushed the misty dreamscape before him into dust.
But just as she was about to exit the dream, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Leng Ye, covered in blood, fighting fiercely in Qingfeng Palace.
"Not good! Return to Qingfeng Palace immediately!"
Xuan Fengqian suddenly woke up and rushed to Qingfeng Palace in a panic.
Meanwhile, in Qingfeng Palace, Leng Ye had already caused chaos and disorder.
He stepped on Lanling Xingjun's back, his nine-section demonic whip whistling excitedly, greedily sucking the blood and immortal essence from Lanling Xingjun's body.
"Demon Lord, please spare my worthless life!"
Lanling Xingjun wailed incessantly, trembling with fear.
*Sizzle*
Leng Ye lashed his forehead with the whip, his voice as cold as frost, "Dare to fantasize about my woman? This is an unforgivable crime."
"I will never dare to do it again! Please, have mercy on me!"
Lanling Xingjun turned his head to the side, pleading bitterly with Leng Ye, whose face was cold and stern.
"If only you had known this would happen, you wouldn't have done it in the first place."
Leng Ye thought to himself that if someone else found those storybooks, Xuan Fengqian's reputation would be ruined.
For this reason alone, he had no intention of letting Lanling Xingjun go.
"Demon Lord, please forgive me this time, my wrath is truly magnanimous!"
"If I spare you, how can I quell my anger?"
Leng Ye curled his lips into a slant, and a flash of crimson light suddenly appeared in his dark eyes.
"Leng Ye, stop right now!"
Xuan Fengqian rushed into Qingfeng Palace and stood firmly in front of Lanling Xingjun.
"Get out of the way! I am cleaning up the house for the immortals."
"When did the Immortal Clan ever need an outsider like you to clean house?"
"Xuan Fengqian, say that again if you dare."
Leng Ye's mood was at its lowest point.
He was clearly standing up for her, but not only did she not appreciate it, she even yelled at him!
It's absolutely infuriating!
Xuan Fengqian stared intently at Lanling Xingjun's back, where the skin and flesh had been turned inside out from being whipped, and felt extremely guilty.
"Princess Xiantian, save me!"
Lanling Xingjun saw Xuan Fengqian as his savior. He stretched out his trembling hands and tightly grasped her sleeves, saying intermittently, "Help...help me. I've been wronged."
"You still dare to argue when you're about to die?" Leng Ye was furious and lashed Lanling Xingjun's cheek with another whip.
However, before the whip could be lashed out, it was firmly gripped in Xuan Fengqian's hand.
Seeing this, Leng Ye gritted his teeth and said, "Xuan Fengqian, are you looking for a beating?"
"You were the one who said you wanted to break off the engagement with me. How come you've started killing innocent people again in the blink of an eye?" Xuan Fengqian ignored the blood dripping from her palms, cut by the barbs on the Nine-Section Demon Whip, and her words were filled with an unquenchable anger.
"If you don't want to break off the engagement with me, at least say a few things that I'd like to hear. Why are you being so fierce?" Leng Ye pursed his lips, unconsciously softening his tone.
"Stop killing innocent people indiscriminately, okay? From now on, I will never go on blind dates with anyone again. I will do whatever you want me to do. I hope you will be merciful and release Lanling Xingjun."
Why are you being so well-behaved today?
Leng Ye knelt down and quietly tended to her blood-stained hand.
He truly couldn't understand why Xuan Fengqian had become so obedient. Before this, she had clearly been very resistant to marrying him. Now, she was actually willing to show weakness to him; it was truly unbelievable.
Could it be that she's changed her mind?
Or perhaps she got pregnant from an affair and desperately needs a marriage contract to get married?
Just as he was racking his brains trying to figure it out, the White Emperor, along with a group of heavenly soldiers, stormed into Qingfeng Palace with great momentum.
"Leng Ye, it really is you!"
The White Emperor glanced at Lanling Xingjun, who was lying on the ground on the verge of death, and then shifted his gaze to Leng Ye's blood-stained nine-section demon whip at his waist.
Enraged, he rushed forward, pointing his finger at Leng Ye's nose and cursing, "You brat, karma will come back to bite you! How dare you slaughter innocent people on my territory? Do you think the Immortal Clan is without anyone left?"
"Father, there must be some misunderstanding. Please don't panic."
Xuan Qianning looked anxious, fearing that Bai Di and Leng Ye would clash again, so she stood firmly in front of Leng Ye.
Leng Ye looked bewildered and turned to Xuan Qianning, asking, "What happened?"
"Of the twelve immortals who were supposed to meet Qianqian today, ten have already died tragically," Xuan Qianning said in a low voice.
"They're all dead?"
Leng Ye finally understood why Xuan Fengqian had become so obedient.
It turns out, she hadn't changed her mind at all.
She was just afraid he would indiscriminately kill innocent people.
In her eyes, he was nothing more than a ruthless, deranged monster.
Leng Ye sighed softly, clutching his chest with one hand, suddenly feeling a sharp pang of heartache.
