Yun Xiaoxi held the Snowdrift Sword in her hand, with ice crystals swirling on the blade. At that moment, the energy from the ice crystals was continuously dispersing into beautiful icy rays, scattering down to the ground. She stared blankly at Ye Yang with her beautiful eyes, her red lips moving slightly, appearing happy yet not entirely so.
Finally, Yun Xiaoxi moved. The Snowdrift Sword suddenly unleashed a dazzling burst of ice crystals towards Ye Yang. "Ye Yang, you bastard, you finally dared to show up! You must be in cahoots with these people, trying to snatch Yan Yao. You’ll have to get past me first!"
Ye Yang hurriedly retreated, wielding one hand to conjure the Starlit Universe Shield to block Yun Xiaoxi's Ice Crystal Technique, looking quite flustered. After her closed-door training, Yun Xiaoxi had significantly improved her strength and seemed to have reached the Starry Sky Fourth Level. Her powerful strike was not something Ye Yang could easily handle.
"Boom!"
The ice crystal energy exploded, blowing away half of a small pavilion and leaving the nearby guards and maidens dumbfounded. No one expected that this young couple would possess such extraordinary power; such destructive capability could only belong to beings of godlike strength!
...
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"
Ye Yang was knocked back repeatedly, with the Heaven and Earth Shield only able to absorb half of Yun Xiaoxi's power; he had no choice but to endure the other half. He suddenly crashed into a rockery and coughed violently. Beside him lay the Zhao Country General, who stared at Ye Yang with eyes full of mockery.
Ye Yang pushed his face away and said, "What are you looking at? Seeking death..."
Then he staggered to his feet, stepping on the icy surface of the pond and floating in mid-air. He adjusted his expression and struck a carefree pose, smiling, "Xiaoxi, it's been a long time since we last met!"
Yun Xiaoxi glared at him furiously while holding the Snowdrift Sword. "How can you say that? I risked my life waiting for you outside the God Locking Coffin for so long, and yet you didn’t come to Serene Gate to see me!"
"That's not true! Didn't I go to Serene Gate to see you? Your junior sister told me you were in closed-door training, and your master wouldn’t let me stay at Serene Gate, so I left..."
Yun Xiaoxi chuckled lightly. "Is that so? Why did your junior sister tell me that you only lingered around the Heavenly Gate at Serene Gate for a short while before heading down the mountain to Wangyue Town for a bowl of tofu pudding and happily returning home?"
Ye Yang shuddered and said without blushing, "No way, your junior sister must be mistaken. How could I be that kind of person..."
"What about the taste of Li's Tofu Pudding in Wangyue Town?"
"It's smooth and refreshing, and the Boss's figure is quite nice..."
Yun Xiaoxi: "..."
(Alright, tofu was invented by the King of Huainan, and it doesn't exist at this time. Let's not get hung up on that; this is fantasy, not history.)
...
Ye Yang stepped forward and said seriously, "Xiaoxi, why are you here?"
Yun Xiaoxi replied, "What about you?"
"I heard that the Yan Kingdom is holding the Sword Seizing Tournament, so I came over. I originally planned to rescue Yan Yao from danger under the cover of night, but I didn't expect you to be here."
Yun Xiaoxi tilted her head and looked at him, her starry eyes filled with teasing: "Are you sure it's not to take Yan Yao for yourself to achieve some ulterior motive?"
"How could that be?" Ye Yang said awkwardly.
Yun Xiaoxi couldn't help but smile lightly and said, "Well, actually I came down the mountain three days ago. I heard about the Sword Seizing Tournament in the Yan Kingdom. I had a chance encounter with Yan Yao in the Azure Cloud Mountain Range, so I secretly entered the Yan Kingdom. After finding Yan Yao, I asked her to leave with me, but she refused. So, I had no choice but to take this approach and act as a substitute for Yan Yao to deal with any unforeseen circumstances. Of course, the most important thing is to guard against scoundrels like you..."
"I..."
Ye Yang trembled, wishing he could give Yun Xiaoxi a good beating. However, he was worried that he might not win; if he fought and lost, it would be very embarrassing. So he could only hold back, swallow hard, and say, "Xiaoxi, where is Yan Yao? What have you done with her?"
"She's in the inner hall."
Yun Xiaoxi glanced around and said, "Zi Yu, someone is coming. You need to find a hiding place quickly. I'll continue to impersonate Yan Yao..."
"Okay!"
Ye Yang looked at the group of guards and palace maids, threatening them in a low voice, "Anyone who dares to say they saw me will be torn apart!"
As he spoke, he transformed into a shadow and disappeared into a corner of the palace, already infiltrating the inner hall of Yan Yao's Pearl Pavilion.
...
At that moment, a group of guards rushed over and saw Zhao Yi, the Young Master of Zhao Guo, completely naked with two of his strong subordinates. The Guard Officer exclaimed in shock, "Princess? Are you alright?"
Yun Xiaoxi turned her back to everyone and said calmly, "These three attempted to ambush me but have already been defeated by the guards. Take them away immediately to avoid adding hostility here."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
A group of guards dragged the three injured men out of the courtyard. Zhao Yi's eyes widened in disbelief; however, his True Qi was damaged, and his throat had been temporarily blocked by Ye Yang's Hidden Dragon Technique. He was so red in the face that he couldn't utter a word, causing several guards to burst into laughter: "Haha, this kid is out here in the cold like this and still feels hot all over. He must be suffering from excessive internal heat. Let's take him to see the Chief Guardian for a reward!"
After dispatching the guards, Yun Xiaoxi quickly entered the inner hall. When she stepped into the inner chamber, she found Ye Yang standing behind Yan Yao.
"Yan Yao, let's leave Yan Country together with Xiaoxi," Ye Yang said earnestly.
Yan Yao turned around, her beautiful eyes filled with helplessness and sorrow, and said, "Ye Yang, brother, I... I cannot leave Yan Country..."
"Why?" Ye Yang asked, puzzled. "King Yan treats you as a pawn; what use is such a father? Come back to Qi State with me, and I'll make you a princess..."
Yan Yao shook her head with a bitter smile and replied, "Ye Yang, brother, you don't understand. I am the Princess of Yan. From the moment I was born, I have carried the mission of protecting the Great Yan People. If I leave, tomorrow's Sword Seizing Tournament will bring my father disgrace for breaking his promise, and the reputation of the entire Yan Country will suffer greatly. Therefore, I cannot..."
Ye Yang hesitated, knowing that Yan Yao was born in this era, and her beliefs were deeply rooted—something he could not change in an instant.
Turning to Yun Xiaoxi, Ye Yang asked, "What should we do?"
Yun Xiaoxi narrowed her beautiful eyes and smiled lightly. "The only way to save Yan Yao from the tiger's mouth while preserving King Yan's dignity is one method. The key is whether you are willing to do it."
Ye Yang clenched his fists and declared, "As long as I can save Yan Yao, I would not hesitate to face any danger!"
Yan Yao shivered slightly, gazing at Ye Yang with a look of confusion in her eyes.
Yun Xiaoxi parted her red lips and looked at Ye Yang with meaningful eyes, smiling as she said, "The only way is for you to dominate the competition and win first place in the Sword Seizing Tournament tomorrow. That way, Yan Yao won't have to marry someone else. As for what happens next, it depends on how you navigate it..."
