The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 466: How Dare You Think of Coming to Mu Nation and Staying in Our Marquess’s Residence?

Chapter 466: How Dare You Think of Coming to Mu Nation and Staying in Our Marquess’s Residence?

Qi Hong couldn’t help but laugh with a hint of disdain and arrogance. "You know this is the Heart-Uniting Enchanting Bug. Even the royal family of Border Nation cannot remove this Enchanting Bug. Why are you having such grand dreams? Chu Nanli, you cannot kill me. Even if you kill me, you won’t save your fifth Brother!"

This was his last resort.

Initially, he didn’t take Chu Nanli seriously, but when the Immortal World people came seeking his help to deal with her, he realized he couldn’t be too careless. Although the magical artifacts sent by the Immortal World were ineffective, he had a plan to preserve his life.

Nanli looked at him coldly.

Qi Hong continued, "You are A’Yuan’s sixth sister, and I am his elder brother. We are technically family, so why make things so hostile? The Heart-Uniting Enchanting Bug is mutually responsive; the two Enchanting Bugs cannot be too far apart. If that’s the case, why not turn hostility into peace and forge a lasting friendship between our nations?" fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

At first glance, this idea seemed reasonable.

But Nanli responded, "In the end, it all comes down to sacrificing my fifth Brother."

A trace of anger appeared on Qi Hong’s face. "How is this sacrificing him? He is the Prince of Jingyang in Qi Nation! Whether he wants to live in the palace or the prince’s residence, it’s up to him! I would never let him be wronged!"

Nanli stared at him with icy eyes. "But if he stays in Qi Nation, he will be all alone from now on."

"You always say you won’t wrong your own younger brother, but you’ve never asked him what he wants or what kind of life he desires. You even placed an Enchanting Bug on him to save your own life. What kind of good elder brother are you?"

"If it were my brothers, they would never do such a thing. Fifth Brother doesn’t mind his original bloodline; he just can’t accept that his own elder brother is such a despicable person."

Qi Hong stared at Nanli, stunned.

Soon, he lowered his gaze and said stubbornly, "I’m alone too. I just want someone to keep me company."

He had experienced many schemes and deceit. In the end, with his evil power, he secured his position as Royal Heir and controlled the court. Did he truly want to kill his emperor or father?

It was that if he didn’t do this, he wouldn’t be able to survive.

Indeed, for the past twenty years, his focus had been on how to stay alive. He didn’t know how to be good to someone or how to love his younger brother. He thought that giving A’Yuan status, power, and wealth would make him happy and content.

Did A’Yuan not want these things?

In the end, Qi Hong thought of a solution and said, "Here’s the deal: since this Heart-Uniting Enchanting Bug cannot be removed, I will step down as the emperor of Qi Nation and go with you and A’Yuan back to Mu Nation. Ninth Princess, with your skills, you can surely help me change my appearance and keep my true identity hidden from others."

The personal guards, unable to move, began to wail. "Your Majesty, you absolutely cannot!"

What they had sought all this time was nothing but to stand out and bring glory to their family. Now that they had come this far, their Majesty was going to quit!

If a new emperor took the throne, their positions would vanish. They were unwilling to accept this.

Fortunately, Nanli looked at him disdainfully. "Do you think you can come to Mu Nation and stay in our marquess’s residence?"

The personal guards breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s no wonder that their Majesty had done so many bad deeds; even a dog would find him undesirable.

Qi Hong’s pride was also hurt. "Ninth Princess, I have made many concessions and suggested various solutions. Yet nothing seems to work. You shouldn’t be so unreasonable!"

Nanli sneered, her eyes revealing a hint of coldness. "I only need to go to Border Nation once to find a way to remove the Enchanting Bug. There’s no need for you to teach me what to do."

Qi Hong clenched his fists but, weakened and injured, dared not challenge her.

He thought to himself, she is so powerful, could she be a reincarnated immortal? That’s why the Immortal World people wanted to use him to kill her.

He felt that it wasn’t the Immortal World people who had picked the wrong person but that no one in the mortal world could rival Chu Nanli.

After all, with her help, his evil body had been mostly restored!

If he had relied solely on absorbing human essence for training, it would have taken him a year or more to reach his current state.

With Qi Hong’s situation calming down, Chu Yan’s condition remained unaffected.

His injuries were still healing, and he had regained consciousness.

Seeing himself in the magical array, with silver light warming his body, and the pain in his chest gradually easing, he immediately realized that his sixth sister had saved him!

Looking up, he saw Nanli standing in front of the array with a slightly furrowed brow. "Fifth Brother, does the wound still hurt?"

The energy in the Golden Hairpin was almost depleted.

Chu Yan shook his head, his voice choked. "Not much anymore."

Nanli sighed in relief. "That’s good enough."

With the energy depleted, the array’s light faded.

The Hairpin Elf, flying back to Nanli’s hand with the Golden Hairpin, said with a hint of grievance, "Master, I’m so weak without energy. I need to sleep well now."

"Be quiet and go to sleep," she said, putting the Golden Hairpin back into the bag.

Seeing this, Chu Yan still didn’t understand that his sixth sister had used rare and precious energy to save him.

Feeling guilty, he muttered, "Sixth sister, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault for dragging you down."

Nanli walked over and adjusted his clothing slightly to check his wound. "Between siblings, there’s no such thing as dragging each other down. Don’t talk like that again."

"But..." Chu Yan bit his lip and whispered, "I... I’m not related to you by blood."

"But you are still my fifth Brother," Nanli said, seeing that his chest wound had mostly healed, and felt a bit relieved.

Energy indeed worked wonders.

No wonder the Immortal World had Immortal Sects; such useful energy was clearly reserved for those cultivators.

Recollecting her thoughts, she adjusted Chu Yan’s clothing to prevent him from catching a cold.

Chu Yan, still lost in sorrow, lowered his head. "I wonder what Father and the others think..."

"What they think doesn’t matter. You’re Chu Yan, the fifth son of the Chu family, and that will never change."

"But I... but I’m one of the Qi, and..." Chu Yan trailed off, glancing at Qi Hong.

Still Emperor Qi’s younger brother.

If Qi Hong hadn’t insisted on taking him away, he might have stayed in the Chu family, as their fifth son.

Seeing the resentment in Chu Yan’s eyes, Qi Hong felt a sharp pain in his heart, his lips trembling. "A’Yuan..."

Chu Yan immediately turned away.

Nanli said, "Qi or Mu bloodline, what’s the difference? We are all humans. A thousand years ago, when the world was unified, we were all one nation. You’ve lived at home for so many years; you should understand Father and the others better than I do. Do you think they will dislike or be disgusted with you? Don’t you know in your own heart?"

Chu Yan was first stunned, then his mind cleared up. He joyfully embraced Nanli.

His voice was cheerful. "That’s right! I thought I had figured it out before, but now I’m being disturbed by bloodline and kinship. I really wasted all those years of study."

"Sixth sister, let’s hurry back to Mu Nation and our marquess’s residence!"
