"Hubby?"
Ye Huan's eyes widened as he looked at Lingxiao. Upon hearing Luo Yufeng refer to him as "hubby," Ye Huan's face was filled with various doubts. In his opinion, although Lingxiao might not be as handsome as himself and seemed a bit older, he certainly shouldn't be with someone like Luo Yufeng, who was rather overweight. The two were worlds apart in terms of temperament and appearance.
The more Ye Huan observed Lingxiao and Luo Yufeng together, the more mismatched they appeared. His curiosity grew, driven by a sense of gossip, and he wanted to hear Lingxiao confirm it himself.
Lingxiao seemed to sense Ye Huan's unusual gaze. Suddenly, he turned his head sharply, his eyes blazing as he stared at Ye Huan, gritting his teeth and saying, "Alright, my lady, I'll take care of these two troublesome fellows right now!"
"No way, so it's really Lingxiao's wife? If that's the case, that sow just now was trying to seduce me. Doesn't that mean I just caught Lingxiao wearing a green hat right in front of him?"
Muttering under his breath, Ye Huan was initially skeptical. However, when he recalled the earlier scene, he couldn't help but feel a surge of delight and almost laughed out loud. It was a classic case of petty jealousy. Of course, Ye Huan had never claimed to be a gentleman; in such situations, if he didn't take the opportunity to mock his enemy, he wouldn't be Ye Huan.
Determined to ridicule Lingxiao thoroughly, Ye Huan was about to speak when suddenly a sound of rushing air came from afar, instantly capturing everyone's attention. It must be an eighth-level or higher mage arriving because in Nine Provinces Huaxia, aside from Ye Huan and Lingxiao—both cultivators—the only ones capable of flying were mages who could cast eighth-level flight spells.
"Who goes there?"
Noticing the newcomer’s incredible speed and wanting to avoid unnecessary trouble, Lingxiao hurriedly warned the approaching figure, seemingly having anticipated that Ye Huan would mock him.
A gentle breeze swept through as Lingxiao finished speaking. A man and a woman floated in mid-air. The woman was stunningly beautiful, possessing a beauty that could overshadow the moon and flowers. The man wore a robe; although not particularly handsome, he exuded an extraordinary aura that made him seem otherworldly.
After surveying the surroundings for a moment, the man paid no attention to Lingxiao but hurriedly brought the beautiful woman over to Ye Huan upon seeing him. He addressed Ye Huan directly: "Young Master, I originally intended to come help you out. Who knew Young Mistress insisted on coming along? I had no choice; please punish me as you see fit."
"Punish you? What nonsense! Weiyang, when did you start speaking so formally? It's only been two months since we last met, but it seems you've made quite a bit of progress."
With a smile, Ye Huan responded to the newcomer. He felt more than just pleased; after all, he had been planning to mock Lingxiao. Now it seemed even better—Weiyang had brought Zhao Ziyu along with him. Her appearance alone was enough to make an impact; combined with Weiyang's earlier reference to her as "Young Mistress," it felt even more direct than slapping Lingxiao in the face.
With a cautious glance from the corner of her eye, Ye Huan caught sight of Lingxiao's grim face. The satisfaction she felt was overwhelming; she was just short of giving Zhao Ziyu a deep embrace right in front of him.
Stealing a look at Ye Huan and then at the two couples nearby, Zhao Ziyu seemed to understand something instinctively as a woman. In front of everyone, she affectionately linked her arm with Ye Huan's left arm and shyly said, "Husband, why didn't you bring me along? What if you get hurt? How will I manage then?"
Hurt...
Upon hearing Zhao Ziyu's words, it wasn't just Lingxiao who felt displeased; even Luo Yufeng sensed an unusual irritation. However, with Bai Yulin and Black Shadow Flower conveniently blocking her path, it would be inappropriate to confront Ye Huan directly. Thus, Luo Yufeng could only vent her pent-up anger on the two blocking her way. Raising her blood-red sword, she shouted angrily at Bai Yulin, "Come on! Since you want to seek death, don't blame me for being rude!"
"How dare a sow be so arrogant? I'll teach you a lesson today."
Bai Yulin casually replied, uninterested in continuing a verbal spar with what he deemed a sow. He reached out and pulled a long sword from thin air. Upon closer inspection, it was evident that the sword formed in an instant from Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, moving at such speed that it created a visual distortion for others.
Holding the long sword, Bai Yulin exchanged glances with Black Shadow Flower before charging forward without hesitation. To everyone's surprise, Bai Yulin did not engage Luo Yufeng but instead headed straight for Lingxiao, swinging his sword down.
Lingxiao never expected Bai Yulin to suddenly charge at him after their conversation with Luo Yufeng. In a hurry, he could only retreat swiftly, narrowly avoiding Bai Yulin's attack while leaving Luo Yufeng exposed in front. At that moment, Black Shadow Flower also sprang into action, revealing a long whip that she swung fiercely towards Luo Yufeng's head. Simultaneously, Bai Yulin turned around; without Lingxiao in his way, he easily positioned his sword behind Luo Yufeng. The two attacks converged like a hamburger trapping its filling.
"Want to kill me? You’re not worthy!"
Noticing Bai Yulin's movements, Luo Yufeng remained unfazed despite being outnumbered. With a twist of her sword handle, a flash of blood light shot towards Bai Yulin behind her, blocking his attack. As for Black Shadow Flower's whip, Luo Yufeng effortlessly raised her hand to parry it with her sword, even displaying a disdainful smirk on her face as if she didn’t take Bai Yulin’s cleverness seriously.
Realizing that landing a hit would be difficult, Bai Yulin winked at Black Shadow Flower from behind Luo Yufeng where she couldn’t see him. The long sword made of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy vanished from his hand in an instant as he deftly maneuvered away from the range of Blood Refinement Sword Qi. Meanwhile, he retreated rapidly to draw the Blood Refinement Sword Qi aside.
Swoosh...
The sound of slicing through the air echoed as Bai Yulin diverted the Blood Refinement Sword Qi. In the void not far behind Luo Yufeng’s back, large amounts of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy formed another long sword that swiftly aimed for Luo Yufeng’s body. She had no choice but to turn her head away from it, completely unaware of the blooming black roses sprouting from the black whip above her head.
As time passed, the Black Rose quickly fell into a state of withering within less than a second. Petals drifted down silently, floating above Luo Yufeng's head like a rain of petals. However, upon closer inspection, one could see that the edges of the petals shimmered with a sharp, cold light.
"Luo Yufeng, be careful!"
In a critical moment, seeing the black petals above Luo Yufeng's head, Lingxiao, who had previously been forced back by Bai Yulin, lunged forward once more. Even the sword energy released by Bai Yulin to stop him was ignored as he charged through it, blood flowing from his chest as he reached one meter behind Luo Yufeng. With his sword, he swept all the black petals aside and extended his left arm just in time to block the long sword aimed at Luo Yufeng's back, instantly creating two bloody holes in his body.
"Is it really worth risking your life like this?"
Watching from a distance, Ye Huan couldn't help but raise his opinion of Lingxiao when he saw him blocking two sword strikes for Luo Yufeng's safety. He categorized him as someone who would sacrifice himself for others. However, what Ye Huan didn't know was that Lingxiao's only remaining thought was to kill Ye Huan. It didn't matter if he blocked two strikes for Luo Yufeng; even if it meant his own death, he wouldn't bat an eye—provided that Luo Yufeng must kill Ye Huan. This was a promise Luo Yufeng had made to Lingxiao before coming from the Eastern State.
Covering his chest wound with his hand and under Luo Yufeng's gaze, Lingxiao slowly spoke up: "Luo Yufeng, do you remember what you promised me? Kill Ye Huan. Even if I die, you must kill Ye Huan!"
After expending great effort to shout the last sentence, holding the Crimson Beauty Sword in hand, Lingxiao—a man driven by vengeance—charged toward the Black Shadow Flower in front of Luo Yufeng despite his injuries. He unleashed a flurry of attacks, leaving the battlefield to Luo Yufeng and Bai Yulin.
With Lingxiao's voice echoing in her ears, Luo Yufeng nodded heavily. Out of trust for Lingxiao, she suppressed the urge to glance back at the Black Shadow Flower and focused entirely on controlling the Blood Refinement Sword Qi, aiming for Bai Yulin's vital points.
The Blood Refinement Sword Qi had been renowned for two thousand years; there was a significant difference between it being controlled and uncontrolled. Bai Yulin understood this well, especially in this situation where the Blood Refinement Sword Qi moved twice as fast under Luo Yufeng's command. It remained closely behind him, occasionally leaving fine scratches on his body—evidently caused by the fierce winds generated by its high-speed movement.
Feeling another sharp pain in his back like being pricked by needles, Bai Yulin finally decided to stop holding back. As he continued flying forward, he transformed into his true form—the Holy Dragon—and turned back to unleash a breath of crimson flames. The scorching heat surrounded the Blood Refinement Sword Qi at its center; clearly, Bai Yulin intended to use the dragon breath inherent to his kind to melt away this Sword Qi.
With anticipation in his eyes as he gazed into the burning flames of dragon breath, Bai Yulin stood still with his massive wings flapping. Just as he wondered why there was no response from the Blood Refinement Sword Qi amidst the flames, a flash of crimson surged through the fire. Under Luo Yufeng's control, the Blood Refinement Sword Qi rolled back through the flames and flew out once more…
