This was the first time Yi Ruowu had seen Xiu Qiyu like this. Despite being the same person, in the eyes of the world, Xiu Qiyu was always that gentle, refined, and exceptionally capable gentleman. Perhaps this was Xiu Qiyu's true nature! That kind of perfection in everyone's minds was simply impossible.
Yi Ruowu gave a wry smile, having no choice but to face Xiu Qiyu in this state.
"Please, Senior Brother, spare the Divine Child's life for the sake of the Illusionary Heaven Palace." Yi Ruowu's feelings were also complicated. If possible, she would love for this mysterious, worthless Divine Child to die at Xiu Qiyu's hands immediately. However, with so many people watching, she had no choice but to put on a show, otherwise she would be taught a lesson by those elders again.
"The divine child of the Illusionary Heavenly Palace?" But so what? Xiu Qiyu refocused her gaze on the child in her arms, carefully sensing him. Indeed, the light power within him was extremely pure. To possess such strength at this age truly deserved the title of genius. But so what? He treated this place as the territory of the Illusionary Heavenly Palace, ready to kill at the slightest provocation. So ruthless at such a young age. She wondered how the people of the Illusionary Heavenly Palace had raised him, and even bestowed upon him the noble status of a divine child.
As far as he knew, the Divine Child's status seemed to be even higher than that of the Holy Maiden, so Yi Ruowu must not have been having a good time these days!
"Yi Ruowu, do you know this rioter? Hurry up and make him put me down."
Xiu Qiyu smiled faintly as she looked at Yi Ruowu. It seemed that Yi Ruowu wasn't just having a bad time, but a very bad one. A dignified Holy Maiden, a renowned and proud daughter of the Taiyan Continent, being bossed around by such a child? Judging from the looks of it, this wasn't the first time!
As expected, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Yi Ruowu's eyes, which were as clear as autumn water, but she suppressed it: "Divine Child, please calm down. Everyone knows exactly what happened today. You should apologize to Senior Brother first!"
"How dare you speak to me like that!" Shen Mu's eyes flashed with boundless rage, and his gaze towards Yi Ruowu seemed to want to kill her.
Yi Ruowu's expression remained unchanged: "Since you insist on this, I am powerless to stop you. When you provoke others, can't you at least find out their identities?" Yi Ruowu sneered. It was one thing in the Illusionary Heaven Palace, but now in Heavenly Ranking City, she still had this attitude. Yi Ruowu was also furious. In the past few months, she had watched helplessly as news of others breaking through kept coming in, while she, because of this inexplicably appearing Divine Child, had an unstable state of mind, causing her to be unable to break through for a long time. How could Yi Ruowu not hate him?
"What is he anyway? I can kill him and that's it. What does it matter? He dared to steal my things."
Yi Ruowu was almost amused by his logic, but she still had to speak up: "Senior Brother, he has been spoiled by the elders in the sect. Please be lenient and don't hold a grudge against a child."
"Oh, can you guarantee that if I spare his life, he won't resent me, assassinate me, or even harm the people around me?" Xiu Qiyu still had a smile on his face, but his eyes were icy cold.
Yi Ruowu was stunned and speechless. This divine son was vindictive and ruthless. He had suffered such a big setback with Xiu Qiyu this time. If she didn't take revenge, she herself would not believe it.
Seeing that Yi Ruowu remained silent while exchanging cryptic messages with Xiu Qiyu, Shen Mu flew into a rage: "You two despicable people, you must have planned this all along! You deliberately set up this trap to kill me and make you take my place, didn't you? Yi Ruowu, you bitch, let me tell you, you're dreaming! If I die, Yi Ruowu, you'll be buried with me!" Her eyes were filled with venomous resentment.
Xiu Qiyu slapped that distorted face and said calmly, "You can't slander my and Fairy Yi's reputation."
"You still say you and she aren't having an affair, but aren't you just after that woman's beauty?"
Yi Ruowu couldn't listen any longer: "Divine Child, please be mindful of your status."
"Identity? I think you've forgotten your identity the moment you see your lover! You're a disgrace to the Illusionary Heaven Palace."
"Shut up." Xiu Qiyu slapped her again, leaving two bloody marks on Shen Mu's delicate face, which was symmetrical.
Yi Ruowu was furious. She and Xiu Qiyu were a universally acknowledged perfect couple on the continent. Although Xiu Qiyu had never admitted it, she was being spoken of so disparagingly. A crimson light flashed in Yi Ruowu's eyes. She had had enough. Ever since the sect acquired this so-called "Divine Child," her importance had plummeted, and she had suffered countless taunts and ridicules, both openly and secretly. Now she was being insulted like this: "Noble Divine Child, since that's how it is, I am powerless to help you. Farewell."
Seeing Yi Ruowu's performance, Xiu Qiyu nodded and increased the pressure on his hands.
"Yi Ruowu, you bitch, aren't you afraid of being punished by the elders?" Shen Mu roared hysterically. He could feel the murderous aura coming from Xiu Qiyu. This person really wanted to kill him.
Yi Ruowu sneered. So what if she was punished? She was loyal to the sect, but what did she get in return? She was trampled into the dust. What else could she not lose?
"Holy Maiden, are we really leaving like this?"
"If you're confident you can save someone from Xiu Qiyu's hands, I won't stop you." Yi Ruowu snorted coldly, her white gauze dress fluttering, her back view filled with resolute determination.
"I won't kill you." Xiu Qiyu's voice rang in Shen Mu's ears, and Shen Mu, who should have been relaxed, felt a sense of foreboding.
Xiu Qiyu then whispered something in his ear, which made Shen Mu's pupils dilate instantly, and his expression became one of surprise and uncertainty.
"You can't, you can't do this to me! Do you know who I am? The Thousand-Faced Holy Body of Light! If you dare touch me, you'll be hunted down by the Illusionary Heaven Palace!"
Zishu finally finished the steamed bun in his hand, wiped his mouth, and said nonchalantly, "So what if you have the Holy Body of Light? I'm so scared. Compared to Junior Sister, you're just trash."
"How can such scum be compared to Xiao Yezi?"
"That's right, he's not even worthy to carry Junior Sister's shoes. Alright, we've been out for so long, it's time to go back. Let's hurry up and finish this garbage, so Junior Sister won't be waiting."
Shen Mu was furious, and the two of them acted as if he didn't exist.
Xiu Qiyu's slender fingers touched Shen Mu's Qi Sea, and Shen Mu screamed and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Several elders from the Illusionary Heaven Palace, who were rushing back and forth, were startled upon hearing this voice. Something was wrong; the Divine Child was in trouble.
