Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 291 - 289: Sparring with Li Qingxue; Turmoil Among Nations
However, the Elder who provoked them was afraid others might say she was bullying the young, so she only suggested a competition in comprehension of the Sword Realm without using cultivation.
As a result, Li Qingxue, who possessed the Celestial Sword Saint Body, already had an exceptional understanding of swords. With the additional support of Xia Feng’s Dream Realm Pearl, both of them could progress together.
After reaching the Divine Domain, she focused entirely on practicing swords, while the Elder was preoccupied and distracted, making her no match for Li Qingxue.
In the end, even after using cultivation to suppress Li Qingxue, she couldn’t prevail.
On the contrary, Li Qingxue found an opportunity to cut off one of her arms.
This kind of injury was not uncommon; in the Divine Domain, it was easy to reattach, but the Elder lost face and in a moment of anger, even wanted to use heavy-handed tactics.
In the end, it was the Divine King who appeared and put a stop to this incident.
Considering both were of great importance, for fairness, she punished the Elder to do hard labor and had Li Qingxue face the wall.
This punishment was actually quite light, but Li Qingxue found it inexplicable.
She was the one being provoked, she was the one being challenged.
The opponent was still using seniority to bully her after losing.
What infuriated Li Qingxue the most was her own mother, the Divine King of the Celestial Sword Divine Domain.
Saying it’s fair, yet doing unfair things.
Mentioning this, she was visibly indignant: "How did someone like this cultivate to become a Divine King?"
"And that Elder, full of schemes and intrigues, if her swordsmanship were purer than mine, I’d write ’Li’ backwards!"
Xia Feng hugged his aggrieved wife, gently kissing her hair: "Don’t be angry, don’t be angry."
"Shall I accompany you to practice swordsmanship?"
Li Qingxue’s face turned slightly red, mistakenly thinking Xia Feng was referring to the integration of divine souls to cultivate the Great Dao, and instinctively kissed Xia Feng’s lips.
However, Xia Feng stood up to dodge her kiss, instead gathering two long swords, handing one to Li Qingxue.
Her expression was confused, she didn’t take it.
A moment later, as if realizing something, her cheeks flushed instantly, her face showing a bit of shame and annoyance.
"Husband, you’re teasing me!"
Xia Feng threw away the long sword, laughed, and hugged her: "How could I be teasing you."
The two of them laughed and intertwined on the grass.
Due to her long-term sword practice, Li Qingxue was like an unsheathed sharp blade, aloof.
Now, with a hint of blush on that aloof face, she resembled a deity pulled down from her pedestal, exciting to others.
After a long while, Li Qingxue, lacking strength, leaned into his embrace.
"I’ve heard a few sisters have been alone with you in private; now it’s my turn."
Her scarlet lips gently kissed Xia Feng’s cheek, her eyes filled with a hint of joy.
But Xia Feng looked curious: "Have you all discussed this in private?"
Li Qingxue paused, her expression a bit sly: "Not telling you."
But after the playful moment, she started talking about serious matters.
"Lingxuan told me earlier that you’re investigating things about the Infinite Divine Domain?"
Xia Feng nodded, and Li Qingxue’s eyes showed a hint of heartache: "Grandfather’s issue will definitely have a solution, don’t worry."
His expression dimmed, hugging Li Qingxue: "Hmm, I know."
On the Celestial Essence Continent, there are Ten Great Divine Domains, which is where each of the women returns to.
Some places are more remote, some places are closer.
And the place where these Ten Great Divine Domains converge has formed the Infinite Divine Domain.
So although it’s called the Ten Great Divine Domains, strictly speaking, this is considered the eleventh Divine Domain.
Due to overlapping forces and each backed by their own Divine Domain, it has become this current chaotic state.
No one wants to be the first to back down, plus several strange events have occurred in the Infinite Divine Domain, with several families taking root here and producing a few Divine Kings.
No one wants to completely take over this area and offend those families, but they are also unwilling to give up the region. Ultimately, this place has become unmanageable.
Billions of years ago, the earth shook, and the Demon Realm and Netherworld opened the gates of the Divine Domain through the Infinite Divine Domain.
They attacked various Divine Domains simultaneously, causing heavy casualties everywhere; now all are recuperating, even less likely to manage the Infinite Divine Domain area.
The Dongfang Family spotted this opportunity, with the Clan Leader directly taking the Divine King’s throne, becoming this region’s Controller.
But his foundation is unstable, surrounded by wolves, tigers, and leopards, only allowed to jump around temporarily like a clown.
Li Qingxue looked at Xia Feng seriously: "So you must be careful, they’re used to being robbers, like mad dogs plundering anything that can enhance their ability."
Her expression was full of worry, primarily concerned not with the Void Cauldron, but with Xia Feng’s miraculous space.
The Void Cauldron is merely a Divine Artifact, at most attracting the attention of a branch of the Dongfang Family.
If the Dream Realm Pearl were known to others, the Divine Kings of the Ten Divine Domains might covet its power.
Xia Feng nodded seriously, and Li Qingxue’s face turned slightly red, her gaze wandering as she spoke: "I’ve learned quite a few new Divine Techniques in the Divine Domain, we..."
How could Xia Feng not understand her meaning, revealing a slightly subtle smile, and embraced her graceful figure again.
Every day, he and the ladies studied new Divine Techniques in the Dream Realm Pearl, merging each other’s Great Dao to enhance his Divine Fire Illusion, while the outside world was in complete chaos.
The Vermilion Bird Emperor looked at the battle report in his hand, full of disbelief.
"You mean, Great Xia didn’t attack us, nor did it attack the White Tiger, but instead descended from the sky to the Li Huo Empire?"
The orderly bringing the report nodded, equally incredulous, but the spy’s message conveyed just that.
The Vermilion Bird Emperor read the battle report several times over: "Is the Great Xia War God, like Xia Tianming, also with the Great Dao of Space?"
"Can a Demigod of the Great Dao of Space accomplish such things?"
"Is this battle report misleading information from the other side?"
"And why didn’t they kill the Li Huo Emperor or move the people away?"
"Do they perhaps want the Li Huo Emperor to continue controlling the Li Huo Empire?"
After hesitating, he told the orderly: "Find a way to send a message to the Li Huo Emperor... No, to Princess Vermilion Bird, and ask what the situation is."
He originally wanted to contact the Li Huo Emperor directly, but was afraid of his cunning nature delivering false reports, so he directly had the orderly contact the married Princess Vermilion Bird.
On the other side, the White Tiger Emperor, upon receiving this news, didn’t even know if he was relieved or more worried.
Great Xia didn’t attack them, but now Great Xia has something descending from the sky with a million soldiers, could they be next?
