Time seemed to stand still for a few seconds. Bai Ling's thoughts completely stopped at that moment, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
Shiraisha was secretly delighted. Yes, yes, that's the expression! However, before she could even enjoy her joy for three seconds, a sharp pain shot through her head.
"Ouch~ Master, why did you hit my head again? If you keep hitting me, I'll go crazy."
Bai Lisha kept rubbing the spot where Bai Ling had hit her, and said resentfully that her master was good in every way, except that she loved to hit her.
Bai Ling glared at her and sighed softly. Her apprentice was good in every way, except that she loved to lie.
"Xiao Bai, you're really going to make things more and more outrageous. You know that the person in the Nine Heavens Divine Palace has always hated women getting close. How could that person possibly be interested in such a little girl? It's not appropriate to spread rumors about this matter."
Bai Ling warned her, fearing that her careless words might reach the ears of malicious people, which would not only harm her but also implicate innocent people.
She thought of that peerless man, who was actually a ruthless and vicious demon. Back then, Xiaobai was young but bold. If it weren't for the God of Rain, she would probably be nothing but bones by now.
Bai Lisha choked on her words, "No, Master, it's true, let me explain... ugh, Master, please let me explain..."
"Xiao Bai, stop, that's enough. I'll allow you to stay here, but don't make up this story anymore." Bai Ling looked at her as she tried to explain, which reminded her of how she had lied to her before, and said helplessly.
Bai Lisha was truly speechless, blaming herself for always lying to her master in the past. "Master, please believe me this once. Si Yu knows about this too, really."
Seeing her earnest expression, Bai Ling sighed softly, "Don't always bring up the Rain God..."
Before she could finish speaking, Bai Ling caught a glimpse of the Frost Bracelet on Ji Jiuying's wrist out of the corner of her eye. Her eyes widened and her mouth opened slightly.
That is... the Phoenix Frost Bracelet.
Could what Xiaobai said be true? If not, why is the Frost Bracelet of the Nine Heavens Divine Palace on this woman?
Bai Lisha followed Bai Ling's gaze and looked at the bracelet in Ji Jiuying's hand, looking at her master with a puzzled expression.
What's wrong with Master?
What's so interesting about that bracelet?
"master?"
Bai Lisha waved her hand in mid-air a few times, pulling Bai Ling back to reality. "Little Bai, you just said that this woman is the lover of the Netherworld God?"
“Yes, I also saw that fiend holding Xiao Jiu like she was holding a treasure. I’ve never seen that fiend so gentle before, and…” As she spoke, Bai Lisha’s eyes fell on Bai Ling and narrowed slightly. “Wait, Master, didn’t you just not believe me? Why are you suddenly asking these questions now?”
As she spoke, her gaze fell on the bracelet on Xiao Jiu's wrist. Bai Lisha instantly understood. So, all that talking and her master still didn't believe her, but she believed her after just one glance at the bracelet? It turns out her level of trust isn't even as high as a bracelet!
"As your teacher, I naturally believe in Xiaobai."
Hearing this, Bai Lisha felt a little better. Then, Bai Lisha talked on and on, which surprised Bai Ling greatly, completely overturning her imagination.
This little girl has such extraordinary talent at such a young age, and she is surrounded by so many capable people, divine beasts, and magical artifacts. If she were in the Heavenly Domain Continent, she would probably cause a fight among various forces. With such a genius and the protection of the Nine Heavens Divine Palace behind her, if the Feng family offends her, the consequences will probably be more than the Feng family can bear when she becomes powerful in the future.
Bai Ling sat down and drank several cups of tea, but she still couldn't calm down. That man with his unpredictable and cold personality could actually fall for a young girl. Even though Bai Lisha's story was full of sweet talk, she still couldn't digest the news. It was too unbelievable.
If this news were to spread throughout the Heavenly Domain Continent, those people would probably feel much the same way she does now.
Long ago, rumors circulated across the Heavenly Domain Continent that the Netherworld God of the Nine Heavens Divine Palace was homosexual...
In contrast to the tranquility of the princess's residence, the far northern capital was quite bustling today.
Gu Qingfeng looked anxiously towards the door. He could understand if the princess couldn't come because she was busy with many affairs, but where was Ye Qingchen? Had something happened to her?
Given his friendship with Qingchen, he would definitely attend his wedding. Now that the auspicious time for the wedding ceremony is approaching, he still hasn't seen him, which makes him a little worried about his longtime friend.
At this moment, a servant came up behind Gu Qingfeng and urged, "Young master, the auspicious time is approaching, or it will be too late."
After a long silence, Gu Qingfeng slowly said, "Okay, I'll be right there."
Just as Gu Qingfeng was about to turn around, Ye Qingchen's bodyguard, Ye Yi, appeared outside the door, "Young Master Gu."
"Yoruichi?"
Seeing that he was alone, Gu Qingfeng frowned and asked in confusion.
"Why are you the only one who came? Where is Qingchen?"
"His master can't come; something happened to the princess."
Has something happened to Ji Jiuying?
What happened in Kyoto?
Ye Yidao said, "Nothing happened in the capital. It's just that the princess was ambushed and lost consciousness. Young Master Gu, it's not appropriate for your subordinates to say more. This is a wedding gift from my master to you."
"My master also said that he couldn't attend Young Master Gu's wedding and hoped that Young Master Gu wouldn't mind. He promised to personally apologize another day."
As he spoke, he took out two boxes from his spatial storage and placed them on the ground.
Gu Qingfeng smiled and said, "Please thank Qingchen for me and tell him that there's no need for an apology; he can just punish himself by playing 'Thousand Miles Drunk' three times."
"I will definitely deliver the message for Young Master Gu. I won't disturb Young Master Gu's auspicious time any longer. Farewell."
"Goodbye."
Gu Qingfeng turned around and stepped forward. Since he was alright, there was nothing to worry about.
The Heavenly Continent, the Feng Family.
Feng Che looked at the tall and magnificent gate of the Feng family, above which was a plaque with two large characters in gold on a black background.
"You are... Second Uncle?"
A young man appeared beside Feng Che, staring wide-eyed at the person before him in surprise, and tentatively asked.
Hearing the sound, Feng Che turned his head to look at the boy who spoke. "You are... Yu'er?"
"Are you really my second uncle? You're finally back. Yu'er hasn't seen you in so long."
Feng Yu grinned.
"It's been ten years, and Yu'er has grown so tall."
Feng Che patted Feng Yu on the shoulder. He recalled how Feng Yu was only seven or eight years old when he left the Feng family; ten years had passed in the blink of an eye since he last returned…
"Go inside, Second Uncle. My father will be so happy to know you're back. He always talks about you."
Upon hearing this, Feng Che's expression flickered slightly. He and his elder brother had argued for ten years and not seen each other for a while. Their reunion was complicated. Feng Che forced a smile and said, "Yu'er, you should go back to the courtyard first. Your second uncle has come back to see your grandfather. You must not say anything more."
