The General's Genius Daughter-Chapter 275 - A Stab in the Back

Chapter 275 A Stab in the Back

The elders all looked at Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan. The third elder said, “Patriarch, Yun Shimo is indeed a scourge. If we kept delaying it, he might gradually spread his wings and grow stronger. How about we set off tomorrow?”

Everyone was afraid that a long delay would mean more trouble. The sooner they dealt with it, the better.

Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan nodded. “The third elder is correct. We cannot delay this. It’s deal, then. Let’s set off tomorrow. You guys go pack your things. Remember to pack more resources and medicine pellets.”

All the people responded in unison and then went on their ways. Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan sat there for a long time.

Xuanyuan Quan sighed. “We should not tell Chu Yang about this. He is young and impulsive. I am afraid that he will insist on going there with us. Accidents will happen if we are not careful enough.”

Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan nodded in agreement. “Sure, Quan, you go back and get ready, too. Let’s be prepared for the worst-case scenario. If we cannot make it back, the family affairs must be arranged properly.”

“An elder can stay and take care of juniors in the family,” said Xuanyuan Quan. After some discussion between the two, they finally made a decision and left for their own business, getting ready for tomorrow’s departure.

However, Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan, in fact, felt a lot of confidence in him. He was a Qi Artist at the medium level of Holy God and one of the top masters on the land. So far, he had never found a powerful opponent.

Yun Xuan was powerful enough to fight with him for five hundred rounds, but he was still defeated and killed by him in the end.

So, to Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan, Yun Shimo was a nobody. Even if the elders could not get him, he could!

But the strength of Hua Qiyue and Bai Qianxue was still a mystery, so Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan finally decided to act personally just to make the mission more secure.

However, Yun Xuan was reborn. He was reborn by Yun Shimo using some forbidden art. He actually wanted to meet Yun Xuan and to see how powerful he had become.

“Yun Shimo, Yun Xuan, just wait for your death. How dare you monopolize the Purple Primordial Chaos Bead?! Do you think you have lived for too long?”

Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan sneered, and then he snapped the bong in his hand.

Hua Qiyue woke up and found Tianci sitting on the bed and watching her.

“What’s up, Tianci?”

Tianci bent over and rubbed Hua Qiyue’s hand with his face like a puppy. “Mom, dad sent a waiter to bring the soup here, saying it would be good for your health.

“My health?” A strong person like her needed soup for health problems? What a joke!

Hua Qiyue did not speak. she sat straight up. She had great sleep in the inn. After all, she did not have any worries and if she met any powerful opponents, she was also confident that she could defeat them.

“Yeah, dad told me that you were going to give birth to a little sister, so you need soup to stay healthy. Mom, do you really feel tired? Does giving birth to children hurt?” Tianci’s big black eyes were full of curiosity. Hua Qiyue was petrified for what Tianci had said!

“Have a baby?”

“Fuck, what has Yun Shimo said? How could he say this to Tianci?”

“Tianci, you should not ask these questions now, because you will understand them when you grow up. And also, mom feels good. Go and dump the soup!” Hua Qiyue flushed with anger and said coldly.

She sat up, left the bed, and put on a thin robe. The weather was hot for a while and cold for another while in the late spring.

“But… I went to talk with Brother Ji and Brother Bai as well. They both said it didn’t hurt!” said Tianci.

He came back to Hua Qiyue again like a piece of sticky candy.

Hua Qiyue was speechless!

Yun Shimo did that on purpose!

All he said was a hint to the handsome men of his relationship with her. For other people, Yun Shimo and she had really got into the point of having a baby.

After all, everything Yun Shimo had done before was for her.

Any mistakes in the rebirth would lead to eternal destruction, without hope at all.

“Tianci, your dad talked nonsense. He was just kidding you. How can you believe that?” Hua Qiyue rolled her eyes at her son and said. Tianci responded with a noise, feeling slightly disappointed.

“Mom, I do want a little sister… Haw, haw, haw, if she looks like you, it would be awesome. She will be cute and pretty. I can hold her every day and feed her porridge and soup. It will be fun!” Tianci spoke with a lot of excitement.

Hua Qiyue was aware of how Tianci loved kids. When they were hanging out on the street and saw some cute little kids, he would smile at them and wave his hands friendly.

So perhaps having a sister was what Tianci longed for?

“Tianci, don’t ask mom this question again!” Hua Qiyue stopped Tianci from daydreaming in a serious tone.

Tianci sensed the rage from Hua Qiyue, so he dared not continue to say anything.

Once they got to the hall, they found people were waiting for her and Tianci. And Bai Qianxue, Ji Feng and other people all looked at her in a strange way when they saw her.

Hua Qiyue gave a furious stare at Yun Shimo who was calm and acted like that was not his fault.

People all understood that all of a sudden. Hua Qiyue’s face was tight. She walked next to Bai Qianxue. The big round table could accommodate sixteen people. It was big, so it was still spacious when everyone sat down.

Bai Qianxue was struck dumb for a few seconds. He figured out everything when he saw Yun Shimo’s gloomy face.

“Qiyue, Brother Yun said he has sent you some soup and you would be a bit late for the meal. So, have you finished your soup already?” said Bai Qianxue, smilingly. His eyes shone with expectations.

Hua Qiyue shook her head. “I am in good health. So there’s no need for me to drink that soup. I asked the waiter to dump it.”

Yun Shimo’s face turned darker.

Ji Jing, who was sitting on Hua Qiyue’s left, poked her with her hand. “Sister Qiyue… That’s a little inhuman.”

Hua Qiyue gave a snort. She didn’t cast a glance at the gloomy eyes of Yun Shimo, who was sitting opposite. She took a bowl of porridge from the waiter and drank it.

The Man-Hunting Insect was on Tianci’s shoulder, and its eyes were shining brightly. The Demon Chicken was also on a side, eating rice from the wooden bowl and making some noises.

The inn Hua Qiyue picked was a little remote, but she did enjoy the tranquility of the place. In the morning, with a nice spring breeze, a group of handsome boys and beautiful girls with a child plus two pet beasts were having their meal. It was a shockingly harmonious and beautiful scene.

The waiter, the inn owner, and his wife kept turning around to look at them with amazement. Other guests were aware of their power for what had happened just now with Hundred Poison Immortal’s disciples. Their looks carried fears.

“Mom, let’s go and hang out in the east of the city after a while, shall we? Xuanyuan City is so big, and I don’t seem to have been to the east side!”

Tianci’s playful nature was revealed again. He was too repressed in the big mountain. Since they were out, why couldn’t they have some fun?

Hua Qiyue nodded her head to give her assent to Tianci’s quest.

The hare couldn’t hold back its smile when it saw Yun Shimo’s gloomy face and Bai Qianxue’s happy one.

Things were intriguing in the world of romance. A person’s mood could change within such a short time. And as the Sun Moon Deity, it kept calm and disinterested most of the time. But it was comfortable being around those young people…

————————

In the eleventh branch of Dark Sect.

Hua Mengshi was in the third practice room in the basement. Her whole body glowed with red light, which gave the cave a wired red aura.

Beads of glittering and translucent sweat were slowly dripping from Hua Mengshi’s forehead.

Hua Mengshi’s brow furrowed and then she opened her eyes and roared in a low volume, “The Deity-slaying Dragon Formula!”

The red light left her body and immediately turned into a red dragon. Although the dragon was illusory, it roared. The roar lasted for a few seconds and then the dragon disappeared with a bang!

Hua Mengshi felt the blood and Qi were blocked inside her and then some of it welled up. Suddenly, she spat out a mouthful of blood.

She leaned back on the wall, feeling extremely weak.

“I… I failed! Why… Why did Princess Mingzhu succeed, but I failed? Why even Lan Luo succeeded, but I… I failed?” Hua Mengshi muttered to herself.

Obviously, she was not willing to accept the result.

After Hua Mengshi failed in her attempt to practice the Deity-slaying Dragon Formula, her body got severe damage from that forbidden art. She was suffering a lot of internal injuries. She supported herself against the wall and stumbled out of the practice room.

In the hall of the basement, Lan Luo and Princess Mingzhu were having a great conversation. The exquisite face of Princess Mingzhu was glowing with complacence. She was putting a slice of dry longan pulp into her cherry-like lips and eating it.

Lan Luo squinted his eyes at the pretty Princess Mingzhu. Just like Hua Mengshi, this woman was his. But generally speaking, he liked Princess Mingzhu more because a woman like her was gentler and more considerate.

While for Hua Mengshi, she had a stronger character, which was not something men would like. But for the sake of the forbidden art she could bring to Murong Family, Lan Luo did bother to make a fuss about that.

Hua Mengshi was dumb for a while. It was the first time she had seen Lan Luo looking at Princess Mingzhu in a lovingly gentle way. She felt very upset.

“So, did you succeed?” said Lan Luo in a lazy tone, seeing Hua Mengshi out with a long face.

Hua Mengshi chuckled and said, “How could I not succeed? You shouldn’t worry!”

Lan Luo broke into a smile. Hua Mengshi felt sorry for herself as she looked at Lan Luo. How did she be reduced to this point? How did she end up having a relationship with that filthy guy and even have to brown-nose him!

Lan Luo’s appearance was not so bad, but his taste and the way he dressed were. And it aggravated Hua Mengshi very much especially when he looked at Princess Mingzhu with those eyes for he had never been that nice to her.

However, she remained calm and unchanged on the outside.

Princess Mingzhu smiled, and her good-looking eyes were squeezed into two crescent moons. “Well, then, let’s learn another forbidden art. Then we can go and take revenge on Yun Shimo!”

“Yun Shimo is already at the first level of Holy God. It is not an easy task to defeat him!”

Lan Luo shook his head. “If we cannot do that in a fair way, then let’s do it in an unfair one. Excuse me for a second, we three will have a discussion after I come back!” said Lan Luo.

He groped Princess Mingzhu’s breasts and then left happily.

Hua Mengshi raised her eyebrows and went over to sit next to Princess Mingzhu. “That bitch Hua Qiyue and Yun Shimo are very powerful. It is said that now Bai Qianxue is even with her. We must be much more discreet!”

Princess Mingzhu gave a snort, and her face glowed with confidence. “What are you afraid of? You can steal a few more forbidden arts for us. After we learn them, how can’t we defeat Yun Shimo if all three of us go?”

Hua Mengshi laughed at Princess Mingzhu’s conceit. She was aware of how powerful Yun Shimo and Hua Qiyue were.

“Princess, I have a secret to tell you…”

Hua Mengshi came close to Princess Mingzhu and whispered to her, “Actually, Lan Luo…”

Princess Mingzhu did not notice at all the sword light flashing across behind her. A murderous aura filled the air!
