The competition wasn't as spectacular as Leng Yue had imagined. Just as Jian Xin had said, it was a grand feast for the Spirit Sword Sect, and the competition was their stage. As long as they were there, other sects wouldn't have a chance.
Leng Yue kept yawning as she watched. It was a competition with no suspense whatsoever, completely uninteresting. Although Ling Xue and her group of handsome men flirting was quite entertaining, it got tiresome after a while. After only one morning, Leng Yue wanted to go home.
"Ancestor, since we're already here, let's bear with it a little longer. It's not appropriate for our Sword Dao Sect to leave so early." Jian Xin also wanted to leave; in his opinion, he didn't want to participate in this ridiculous competition. But what could they do when their Sword Dao Sect's fists weren't strong enough?
Besides, they were already on the territory of the Spirit Sword Sect, so how could they be so blatant?
"I don't care, I'm going back." Leng Yue didn't look at Jian Xin, but looked at Qian Chen. Qian Chen naturally went along with Leng Yue. Seeing that she was indeed bored, he nodded and said to Jian Xin, "I'll stay with Yueyue. Don't worry, nothing will happen."
"I'm not...that..." Jianxin wanted to say that he wasn't worried about them, he was worried about the Sword Dao Sect and the Spirit Sword Sect becoming enemies, okay?
However, before he could even speak, Leng Yue and Qian Chen had vanished.
"Never mind, it should be fine." Jianxin glanced around discreetly and, seeing that no one reacted, relaxed. He then looked at Ling Xue on the platform and saw her busy drinking and having fun with the man beside her, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Leng Yue and Qian Chen, who had already left the Spirit Sword Sect, were discussing whether or not to leave immediately.
"Are you really not saying goodbye to Android?" Qian Chen smiled. "Since you've only come to the cultivation world once, why don't you visit other sects?"
"Let's not go any further. We don't find what we're looking for here. Let's go back." Leng Yue took out the Anywhere Door, which then became capricious again.
"Is there anything else you haven't taken?" Leng Yue asked the Anywhere Door. After it gained its own consciousness, it became incredibly cunning, practically a treasure-hunting machine.
Leng Yue asked, but the Anywhere Door remained silent. She could only sigh, "This guy values women over friends; he's only affectionate with the Nine-Tailed Fox and completely ignores me!"
"Alright, if it won't tell us, we'll find it ourselves." Qianchen didn't know what to say. This Anywhere Door belonged to Leng Yue, so logically they should listen to Leng Yue, but the Anywhere Door wasn't very cooperative.
"I knew it, Nine-Tails is the true love, we were just an accident." Leng Yue muttered to herself, unmoved by the Anywhere Door's words. "Forget it, let's just stay here."
"Where to?" Qianchen asked, glancing at Lengyue.
"Let's go back and ask Android if there are any secret treasures here." Leng Yue thought that there were all sorts of secret realms and treasures in the cultivation world, right? If that's the case, maybe they could find the spirit pearl they were looking for.
"Alright, let's go." Qian Chen told Leng Yue to put away the Anywhere Door, saying that they should also take the opportunity to experience the local customs and culture. Leng Yue thought it made sense, so she didn't object. Besides, the Anywhere Door had rebelled four times, which had made her a little angry. Putting the Anywhere Door away would keep her from seeing it.
The two had just put away the Anywhere Door and were about to move forward when they found themselves blocked by a golden eagle. Leng Yue was speechless; such a flamboyant entrance—she didn't even need to look to know who it was!
"They're here? Are you planning to give us the golden eagle as a mount?" Leng Yue asked with a blank face and an annoyed tone.
"Insolence!" The rebuke didn't come from Ling Xue, but from the man in black beside her. "How could Xue'er's beloved pet be given to someone like you?"
"I wasn't even talking to you! It's like the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is!" Leng Yue had initially thought the man beside Ling Xue was quite handsome, but now she felt it was a classic case of "like attracts like." In short, they were a perfect match!
"Who are you calling a eunuch?" The man in black was clearly enraged and drew his sword, ready to charge forward.
"Anzhi, come back." Ling Xue said softly, and the man in black seemed to be frozen in place as if his pressure points had been struck.
"Put your sword back," Ling Xue said again, and the man in black indeed put his sword away. He glared at Leng Yue with hatred in his eyes, his gaze filled with murderous intent.
Leng Yue wasn't afraid at all. She shrugged and then said something that would infuriate anyone: "What a coincidence, you actually know what that means? I thought you didn't!"
"You!" The man in black wanted to draw his sword again, but after looking at Ling Xue, he held back.
"Leng Yue, is it?" Ling Xue glanced at the man in black, jumped down from the golden eagle, and stopped a meter away from Leng Yue. "Leave this man, and I will give you what you want."
“Darling, you’re quite valuable.” Leng Yue teased Qian Chen.
Qianchen shook his head helplessly, "Yueyue, stop playing."
“No,” Leng Yue said, her smile fading as she looked at Ling Xue seriously. “I’ve said it before, I only have one husband, and he can’t compare to you. You can give away one or two of them, but I just can’t.”
"Is she humiliating us?" A man dressed in white complained to Ling Xue, his fingers twirling delicately.
Ling Xue patted the man's head and gently comforted him, "Alright, alright, I'll avenge you in a little while."
"Hmph!" The man in white glanced at Leng Yue provocatively and snorted coldly at her.
Leng Yue was sweating profusely. What did he think she, a woman, couldn't win an argument with him? So, Leng Yue rolled up her sleeves, pointed at the woman with the effeminate gesture, and said, "Do you need me to humiliate you? Your immoral and self-degrading behavior has already disgraced your ancestors, okay?"
"You..." The orchid-finger gesture turned pale with anger.
"What do you mean, 'you'? If you're so indecent, don't say I'm humiliating you. I won't take the blame for this!" Leng Yue said, turning her head away from the orchid finger gesture.
"You..." The man with the orchid-like fingers was so angry he was almost crying. The man in black reached for his sword again. "I'm going to kill that vile woman!"
"Step back," Ling Xue said softly, and the two obediently stood aside.
"Looks like you're going to refuse a polite offer and then drink a penalty shot?" Ling Xue's face was ashen. "You've crossed my line. You shouldn't have messed with my lovers, you absolutely shouldn't have. You're courting death!"
"Who gave you the nerve?" Leng Yue was almost laughing in anger at Ling Xue. "Don't mess with my husband. Do you think I'd ever see a bunch of indecent scum like you? It's an eyesore to even look at you. I'm disgusted to death talking to you now! I haven't even asked you for compensation for emotional distress yet! You're really giving me a hard time!"
"Xue'er, let me kill this vile woman!" The man in black reached for his sword again, but this time Ling Xue did not stop him.
"Give me your life!" The man in black leaped up, sword in hand, aiming for Leng Yue. Qian Chen shoved him aside. "Trying to hurt my woman? Don't you know your own strength!"
"I'll go too," said Orchid Finger, drawing a soft sword and engaging Leng Yue in combat.
Clearly, neither of them was a match for Leng Yue and Qian Chen, and they were about to be defeated. However, there were more of them; if the two couldn't hold out, there were still six left. But even with everyone attacking together, they only managed to hold out for a little longer before being dealt with as well.
