1Chapter 1100: Nine Death Laws! Heroes of the World, Hear my Orders!

5Solitary Eagle raised his head and looked unmovingly at the ceiling, completely motionless like a statue. But no one knew that this Old Eagle was actually rolling his eyes with all his might…
6
7Those who knew Jun Mo Xie more closely, like Li You Ran, Tang Yuan, Mo Wu Dao etc, were all lost for words as their temples twitched heavily… Among them, Fatty Tang Yuan was the most exaggerated. He directly choked on his breath when he heard this and descended into a violent coughing fit… It was as if he had suddenly gotten a fierce asthma attack, and he coughed until his fats wobbled like a turbulent sea…
8
9This was simply the greatest joke they had ever heard in their lives… When it came to oppressing people and acting tyrannically, there didn't seem to be anyone who committed more of such crimes than Young Master Jun in the whole of Tian Xiang City. Only god knew how that fellow managed to say those words without even blushing at all…
10
11But Jun Mo Xie truly did not feel like there was any need for him to feel any embarrassment at all. Why should this Evil Monarch be ashamed? When has this Seat bullied anyone innocent? Even the time when I first lost my virginity in this world was due to someone drugging me… Although it's a little overboard to say this, but it's actually the truth…
12
13As for before that… what does that have anything to do with me…
14
15"Thou shalt not oppress and bully the innocent; that is the first rule that my Evil Monarch Manor has set for the pugilistic world!" Jun Mo Xie said slowly.
16
17"Secondly, thou shalt not harass or torment the commoners!" Jun Mo Xie rolled his eyes and continued. "The commoners already have a hard enough life. Us martial practitioners should behave in a righteous and chivalrous manner, for the country and the people… If we who are strong use our strength to torment the weak, we are worse than pigs or dogs! So, whoever dares to violate this rule will be killed without mercy!"
18
19"The third rule, thou shalt not…"
20
21————————
22
23"The rules mentioned above will be our Evil Monarch Manor's Nine Death Laws! Whoever violates them will be chased down by our Evil Monarch Manor no matter where they are hiding! Even if the backing behind you is more powerful, it will not save you! So, may everyone please take note. I do not wish for our Evil Monarch Manor's hands will be stained with you, your relatives', or your Sect's blood!"
24
25After a listing a long string of laws, Jun Mo Xie established nine laws that could not be violated.
26
27The Nine Death Laws!
28
29"In addition, this Seat will take the opportunity to talk to everyone about the serious matter of the 'Evil Monarch Order'." Jun Mo Xie waved his hands, and a huge patch of misty cloud-like substance suddenly appeared. The air trembled, and after a short moment, the cloud turned into a strange diagram.
30
31In the middle of the diagram, was a huge 'Order' character. On the top, was the word 'Evil'! And emblazoned on the sides were numerous swords and sabers, intertwining into a large 'Kill' character!
32
33"This is the token of my Evil Monarch Manor, the Evil Monarch Order! If anyone takes out this order and shows it to you, I hope that everyone… can give me some face!" Jun Mo Xie turned his eyes onto the crowd, and his piercing gaze swept across everyone's faces!
34
35"Whoever is willing to give me face, I will naturally also give him some face…" Jun Mo Xie said lightly. "But if that person refuses to give me face… Ai, I'm a pretty nice person, except my temper is a little bad. And I also have the bad habit of needing to seek revenge for the smallest grievances… we are only humans… who doesn't have some flaws and bad habits…"
36
37Jun Mo Xie shook his head and sighed heavily, seemingly very dissatisfied with his flaws…
38
39A threat!
40
41This was definitely a threat!
42
43A bare and naked threat!
44
45This was undoubtedly saying that all the heroes in the world were expected to obey the orders of the Evil Monarch Manor!
46
47Those who don't… would be executed!
48
49"Does anyone have any questions? Any opinions?" Jun Mo Xie asked with a faint smile. His demeanor was warm and casual, and he seemed to be asking in a sincere manner.
50
51The crowd looked at each other, unable to reply.
52
53Many people even directly looked at Mo Wu Dao, Xi Ruo Chen and the others from the three Holy Lands! This Evil Monarch Manor was behaving so overbearingly right now, aren't you going to say anything? What happened to your domineering attitudes?
54
55Unexpectedly, Mo Wu Dao and the rest actually did not say a single word and continued sitting quietly on the chairs. It was as if they didn't hear Jun Mo Xie's words. Xi Ruo Chen and Huyan Ao Bo had their heads lowered and their brows furrowed with deep thought. Ony Mo Wu Dao raised his eyes slightly and gave a hidden glance to a person in the back, seemingly transmitting some kind of message…
56
57"So no one has an opinion? That means that everyone agrees then. Haha, looks like everyone's sense of righteousness is quite strong too." Jun Mo Xie laughed happily and said. "In that case, this matter is settled…"
58
59"Wait!" A loud voice rang out as a stalwart bearded man stood up. This person belonged to a subordinate family under the Elusive World of Immortals. This was a person who was used to having his way in the Xuan Xuan Continent, often behaving in an overbearing manner. At this time, he finally could not bear it and stood up.
60
61And his courage came precisely from that single glance from Mo Wu Dao!
62
63That glance had clearly indicated Mo Wu Dao's intentions!
64
65Although Palace Lord Mo hadn't said anything, he had already given him a clear hint. Since the three Holy Lands were backing him, he naturally needed to display his own sincerity.
66
67At this moment, no one else had the courage to stand out. It was a great opportunity for him to stand out!
68
69In any case, there were so many people here, and even the three Palace Lords of the Holy Lands were sitting there. He was also a guest that was invited here, so no matter how insane this Jun Mo Xie is, no matter how evil he was, no matter how unreasonable… he couldn't possibly kill him here, right?
70
71Thinking of that, he stood up with a shua sound and puffed out his chest in a righteous and indignant manner!
72
73"You have an opinion?" Jun Mo Xie asked with a light and warm smile.
74
75"Indeed!" The bearded man raised his chin and snorted. "We…"
76
77"Sir's words are rather inappropriate. There's only a 'you' here! You can't represent the rest, only yourself!"
78
79Jun Mo Xie said in an affable tone. "I seem to have mentioned just now, that I'm a rather narrow minded person. I actually hate listening to differing opinions the most. So, there's no need for you to continue speaking. There's no purpose, and it's a waste of my time."
80
81The bearded man was just about to speak again, when he felt a sudden chill travelling down his spine. Taking half a step back, he cried out, "I…"
82
83"You may die!" Jun Mo Xie stretched out his jade-white hands and grabbed through the air. There were over 30 zhang of distance between the two, but Jun Mo Xie simply clenched his fists in front of his chest. Before the bearded fellow could say another word, his head had exploded, shattering into tiny pieces!
84
85His head had actually been squeezed until it burst from a long distance away!
86
87Blood flew everywhere, and the crisp sound of the head bursting apart rang out in everyone's heart!
88
89"Who else disagrees? Or rather… who else does not approve of the way my Evil Monarch Manor does things? You're welcome to voice your opinions bravely." Jun Mo Xie said in a sincere tone. "Apart from that tiny flaw in my character, I'm a very reasonable person! I'm actually pretty good at accepting others' opinions. If anyone has any questions, please don't keep it inside your heart. If there are any issues, we should discuss it together, shouldn't we? If I was the one who was wrong, I naturally won't insist stubbornly on my methods. I will definitely… accept good advice as naturally as a river follows its course…"
90
91The crowd looked at the kind and magnanimous expression on his face, and back again at the cold and headless corpse beside them. In that moment, they only felt an intense chill in their hearts!
92
93Who would dare to believe your bullsh*t?!
94
95F*ck! You have the face to call yourself a righteous leader like this? What kind of 'accepting good advice as naturally as a river follows its course' is this?
96
97The other person hadn't even managed to say anything before he was killed by you…
98
99"Eh? What's going on?" Jun Mo Xie furrowed his brows and pointed at that corpse. "Why did this hero suddenly kill himself? Could it be that he's unhappy with our reception here?"
100
101Everyone was at a complete loss for words!
102
103Suddenly killed himself…
104
105You're the one who suddenly commited suicide!
106
107His entire family commited suicide suddenly!
108
109Of course, the crowd only dared to think these thoughts in their hearts. No one dared to voice it out!
110
111"Zhang Da Niu! What kind of small captain are you? You didn't even see the guest commiting suicide? Why are you still standing there stupidly?" Jun Mo Xie barked. "Quickly go and investigate the truth!"
112
113Zhang Da Niu had a bitter look on his face as he hurriedly nodded and ran out. After a moment of investigation, he returned and reported loudly. "Reporting to Manor Lord, this friend had been too excited and agitated after hearing the Manor Lord's grand plans. As a result, too much blood rushed to his head and he ended up bursting his brains with too much happiness…"
114
115"Ah, so that's how it is! A passionate man ah…" Jun Mo Xie sighed in a heartfelt manner. "Arrange an elaborate funeral for him…"
116
117"Yes!" Zhang Da Niu waved his hand and called over a few men, quickly carrying the body out. After that, a few servants ran in and cleaned the whole area up in a swift and well practiced manner…
118
119A passionate man, ah…
120
121Everyone in the crowd did not know whether they should laugh or cry as they heard this conclusion.
122
123Too agitated and excited, blood rushed to his head and his brains burst from happiness… There's actually such a method of justification?! This… was too ridiculous right? Couldn't they have come up with a better story?
124
125"Naturally, justice is in the hearts of man! Even within the Evil Monarch Manor, anyone who commits crimes in violation of the law will be punished heavily!" Jun Mo Xie said lightly. "From now on, the Evil Monarch Order be sent out in all four directions, appearing in the pugilistic world once a month! These Orders will be held by eight people together, with two people heading in each direction: North, South, East and West! The holders of the Order must not kill indiscriminately or abuse their power! If they have to kill someone, they must conduct a thorough investigation and submit a comprehensive written report after that as well. If there are any discrepancies or evidence of a misuse of power, the holder of the Order may also face death!
126
127"So, although it is the Evil Monarch Order, it has the ability to bring about a time of peace and stability to the world!" Jun Mo Xie said in a serious tone. "Evil Monarch Court, focus on monitoring this matter! If there are any incidents of any wrongful killings, the murderers will be required to pay with their lives!"
128
129Hearing this, everyone heaved a sigh of relief in their hearts. If it was like this, things would at least be a little easier to accept…
130
131We're just worried that you people will go around killing wantonly!
132
133Everyone discussed for a long time, and after seeing that the three Holy Lands didn't seem to have any intentions of doing anything, they could only agree helplessly for the time being. In any case, it was just a nod of the head. There weren't any formal written agreements, or any corresponding mandatory precautionary measure…
134
135So the crowd did not worry too much.
136
137Truthfully, most of them were thinking: If we refused to acknowledge this thing after we returned, what can you do about it? The mountain is high, and the king is far away. Although your Evil Monarch Manor is powerful, could it tend to so many things as well? You may be able to kill one or two people, but can you slaughter all the Xuan cultivators in the world? Even if we really gave you a status in name, you still can't do anything to me…
138
139"Since nobody has any objections, this matter is settled then." Jun Mo Xie said with a sly smile. Following that, his gaze turned heavy as he continued: "And everyone, please remember one thing. I, Jun Mo Xie, am not joking about this matter. This is actually a good point of me which I'm quite proud of…"
140
141After saying that, he smiled and ended his speech.
142
143Following that, the feast began in full force! With the lively atmosphere and the excellent wine, most people directly threw this matter to the back of their heads…
144
145Chapter 1101: Meeting
146
147
148
149Especially those families that were subordinate to the three Holy Lands. They were even thinking in their hearts how they should work with the three Holy Lands to thoroughly destroy the Evil Monarch Manor after the War for Seizing the Heavens and plunder their wealth. This amount of wealth was truly too tempting…
150
151As for those whatever laws of the Evil Monarch Manor… who would place them in their hearts?
152
153Unfortunately, none of them would have dreamt that this thing that they considered as inconsequential would result in extremely serious consequences…
154
155"Everyone, please enjoy yourselves." Jun Mo Xie said in a graceful manner. "This Seat will not be accompanying everyone."
156
157"Wait a moment, Manor Lord Jun. We truly have some matters to discuss with you this time." Xi Ruo Chen said.
158
159"After today, everyone can stay for a few more days. If there isn't anything important, we can discuss after that. Today is a happy occasion for my Evil Monarch Manor, and we will not be discussing business." Jun Mo Xie looked meaningfully at the people from the three Holy Lands and the Misty Illusory Manor with a faint smile. "This Seat won't let everyone return empty handed."
160
161This was a hint.
162
163But it was enough to let these large figures feel more at ease.
164
165Jun Mo Xie clasped his hands behind his back and left. In the blink of an eye, he was gone.
166
167Countless servants surged over from all directions, and magnificent food and wine was served like a never ending tide…
168
169Solitary Eagle, Jun Wu Yi, and the others went from table to table to interact with the guests, and the atmosphere was exceedingly boisterous.
170
171It was impossible even if one didn't wish for the event to be lively. Not to mention those people who were originally already closer to the Evil Monarch Manor, everyone had reaped a huge profit this time. Not only had they made some connections with the Evil Monarch Manor, they had even received several expensive gifts. Not mentioning the other stuff; just the wine they were served here was something that could not be found in the market! It was an exceedingly rare treasure, and them being able to drink this wine to their heart's content this time was already considered more than enough to make their trip worthwhile.
172
173Those who chose to maintain their neutrality or were slightly disdainful of Jun Mo Xie's overbearing methods or were even more inclined towards the three Holy Lands' sides, also did not display any signs of dissatisfaction. It wasn't that they didn't want to; they simply didn't dare! Not mentioning the Evil Monarch who would kill whenever he heard any dissenting opinion, just the few people serving them wine were all either Saint Emperors or Saint Venerables. What kind of existences were those? With just a snap of the finger, they could easily take away their puny lives. How much face were they giving them to serve them wine? If they didn't quickly accept the gesture, wouldn't they be seeking their own deaths?!
174
175While the heroes of the pugilistic world were laughing and downing cups of wine below, the girls were also talking animatedly upstairs.
176
177After a moment of interaction, they had turned from unfamiliar to being comfortable with each other. And now, they were directly talking like sisters.
178
179"Elder sister Mei, Elder sister Guan… little sister Xiao Yi… why are your expressions so strange? What's wrong with you all!" Miao Xiao Miao looked at the few sisters whom she had just made and asked in a confused manner. These sisters were not only exceptionally beautiful, their temperaments were good as well. It was as if they had known each other for a long time, and they were able to talk comfortably with each other right from the start. She could somehow feel that these sisters were treating her with utter sincerity.
180
181This was something that shouldn't make any sense. She was someone from the Misty Illusory Manor, and at least in name, they were closer to the three Holy Lands. Yet, they had been so warm and open with her when they had just met! This was really too strange.
182
183Dugu Xiao Yi was young and straightforward, so it was fine. But Mei Xue Yan was the Queen of Tian Fa. What kind of character was that? Apart from that, there was also Qiao Ying, a person who belonged to the Holy Lands, right here as well! Yet, they had still been able to speak and act so closely to them.
184
185But at this moment, when they heard the 'Evil Monarch' speaking below, all of them had weird expressions on their faces. Just what was going on?
186
187Although those words that the Evil Monarch said did not sound very nice and were even exceedingly overbearing, but it was only to be expected that they needed to display a strong stance for the opening of the manor. Although those words were a little too domineering, but since he had the strength to back his words up, there was nothing to grumble about. In this world where the stronger fist had more reason, it was not really wrong for him to behave like that.
188
189After all, if the Evil Monarch had not suppressed the dissenting voice at the 'first moment', the situation would have definitely devolved into a tragic end.
190
191This was the so-called 'killing a chicken to scare the monkeys' tactic. Although this move by the Evil Monarch seemed cruel and was even quite insane, but it was actually the best solution in that moment! Miao Xiao Miao in fact believed that if no one stood out just now, the Evil Monarch would have still found a way to make someone stand up and allow him to establish his might!
192
193This was something that he absolutely had to do!
194
195But why were Elder sister Mei and the others' expressions like that? Even if the others were soft hearted because they were girls and disliked the killing and fighting, but Mei Xue Yan was a Queen of Tian Fa! She shouldn't have such a reaction right?
196
197"Little sister has misunderstood. We're not like this because he killed someone to establish his might…" Mei Xue Yan smiled somewhat helplessly as she thought to herself. Would you know how Mo Xie is normally?
198
199En, although you may know one side of him, but you don't know that this fellow is exactly your Mo Jun Ye ah. This fellow can impersonate even a dragon or a tiger, and there's no way of telling for sure…
200
201"I didn't expect that big brother Mo Xie could actually speak in such an intimidating manner, how surprising, ah!" Dugu Xiao Yi exclaimed with a strange expression on her face. "He's really good at playing hooligan. If I knew there were such a fun thing, I would have gone to join in the fun."
202
203Miao Xiao Miao pursed her lips speechlessly. As expected, people of the same family were really similar.
204
205Just at this time, Qiao Ying, who had been sitting at the door, suddenly sat up straight and her eyes turned sharp! Her originally calm and graceful face also changed in an instant!
206
207Miao Xiao Miao also felt something and raised her head.
208
209A person had suddenly appeared in front of the empty doorway.
210
211The moment this person appeared, even a girl like Miao Xiao Miao could not help but to widen her eyes!
212
213This person had flowing black hair like a cloud, and a simple golden hair crown on his head to pin down his hair. His brows were as sharp as swords, and his eyes were like a pair of stars. His sharp nose and slightly thin lips betokens a boldness of character, giving others a sense of decisiveness. His facial shape was perfect in symmetry.
214
215He was tall with well toned muscles. And just like that, he walked in slowly.
216
217Every step he took carried a natural and light feeling, and just looking at him, one would feel an exceedingly fresh feeling, as if they were looking at a clear brook and a refreshing gust of wind!
218
219But from his gaze, one could detect a kind of callousness and pride that came from his very soul!
220
221That gleam in his eyes even carried a kind of evil that looked disdainfully upon the entire world…
222
223This was a kind of evilness that would pull out a sword at the slightest offense, pointing it even towards the heavens!
224
225In practically the instant that she laid eyes on him, Miao Xiao Miao was able to determine who this person was!
226
227The Evil Monarch! Jun Mo Xie!
228
229In the entire world, no one else apart from this young man would be worth the title: Evil Monarch!
230
231The moment she saw him, those two words that could shock the entire heavens instantly rose in her heart!
232
233The title "Evil Monarch" was perfectly suited to this person!
234
235Although she hadn't seen him speak, or seen him in action, that extraordinary bearings around him already perfectly accentuated those two words!
236
237All evils of this world, hail me as King!
238
239Well deserved reputation as expected!
240
241And in the instant that she saw him, a rage began to rise in Miao Xiao Miao's heart! A rage towards the three Holy Lands!
242
243This person before her was clearly as pure in character as a flower, as proud and aloof like a cloud, and as free and unconstrained as the autumn wind that blows through the woods. When this person acted, he would certainly strike with the force of lightning as well!
244
245How could such an outstanding person possibly be the 'lustful and perverted, despicable, shameless tyrant' and scum of the earth that Mo Wu Dao talked about?
246
247Miao Xiao Miao firmly believed that the matters which Mo Wu Dao had mentioned had nothing to do with this person in front of her at all! With this person's bearings, it was simply impossible for this person to do such despicable things!
248
249Then, the only explanation was that all of that had been an evil scheme by the three Holy Lands!
250
251The mighty three Holy Lands actually stooped so low to besmear a person's name?
252
253They were truly disgracing their status as a peak power of Xuan Xuan Continent and the honor of the three Holy Lands…
254
255Not mentioning the other stuff, but just looking at this roomful of absolute beauties, was there a reason for him to harass common girls in a shameless way?
256
257Based on what her mother had told her about the differences between women, she could tell that apart from Guan Qing Han, the others were surprisingly still pure! What kind of a pure and steadfast heart must one have to so many beauties around him and still retain his self control?
258
259That Mo Wu Dao is truly too horrible!
260
261There was another thing: when Miao Xiao Miao fist saw Jun Mo Xie, she didn't know why, but she suddenly felt a sense of intimacy with him, as if she knew him very well! This kind of feeling was extremely strong, to the point where even Miao Xiao Miao herself felt bewildered, and… anxious?
262
263Why?
264
265Why do I feel so close to him?
266
267Why did something so impossible happen?
268
269The one I like, is Jun Ye! And only Jun Ye!
270
271How could I feel this way… no, what am I even thinking? I'm not supposed to have these thoughts…
272
273The moment this thought appeared, the image of Mo Jun Ye appeared in her mind again. However, that image was directly crushed by her impression of Young Master Jun!
274
275"The two ladies are indeed exquisite beauties of a generation! I was almost stunned after seeing this sight." Jun Mo Xie smiled lightly and praised as he looked at Qiao Ying and Miao Xiao Miao. When he saw the look in Miao Xiao Miao's eyes, there seemed to be a hint of affection in her eyes.
276
277"Nice to meet you, Manor Lord Jun." Miao Xiao Miao hurriedly stood up and greeted.
278
279Although this person before her was young to an unbelievable point, his status was enough to be on the same standing as her grandfather Miao Jing Yun! How could Miao Xiao Miao dare to be tardy in her greeting?
280
281But at the same time, she felt a little confused in her heart. Why does this person have a strange look in his eyes when he talked to me?
282
283"Jun Mo Xie, how is my Exquisite Lotus now?" Qiao Ying looked at him and asked without any politeness.
284
285"Exquisite Lotus? Ah, oh oh…" Jun Mo Xie raised his brows and smiled. "I'm ashamed…"
286
287"What happened?" Qiao Ying widened her eyes and stood up quickly as concern filled her eyes. Could it be… he'd already caused the Exquisite Lotus to die?
288
289Chapter 1102: Here's a Lotus Root for You!
290
291
292
293"Eh… Miss Qiao has misunderstood. There's no need to worry, the Exquisite Lotus is fine… it just missed you." Jun Mo Xie's words caused Qiao Ying to suddenly blush, and she stared at him. "What kind of nonsense are you spouting?!"
294
295This fellow, saying he missed me as soon as he saw me…
296
297"Miss Qiao seemed to have misunderstood again… What I meant was… the Exquisite Lotus has missed you. After all, you've raised it for such a long time…" Jun Mo Xie said in an innocent manner.
298
299"You! …" Qiao Ying's face instantly turned somewhat white with anger.
300
301Dugu Xiao Yi instantly burst out in laughter. "Big brother Mo Xie, you're acting like a hoodlum again…"
302
303Jun Mo Xie's mouth twitched and he glared at her fiercely. "How am I playing punk? Lass, don't speak nonsense and confuse others. Otherwise, I won't go lightly on your butt later! I was saying that the Exquisite Lotus had been apart from Miss Qiao for a long time, and naturally missed her… the Exquisite Lotus doesn't know how to talk, so I was just speaking on its behalf… how was that acting like a hoodlum…"
304
305Speaking on a plant's behalf!?
306
307To think that he actually managed to let those words out of his mouth.
308
309Qiao Ying's face turned red again, and she snorted hatefully. "Does the Exquisite Lotus miss me? You seem to understand the Exquisite Lotus very much, ah…"
310
311"Isn't that so?" Jun Mo Xie sighed 'emotionally'. "That Exquisite Lotus of yours is so intelligent. Ever since it came into my possession, it'd been telling all the other plants about how good you are. Now, a lot of my spirit herbs have been touched by its words and are looking forward to meeting you, hoping that you could be by their side forever… how nice would that be…"
312
313Qiao Ying didn't know if she should be angry or if she should laugh. This fellow was truly good with his tongue. To think that he could even say such things… was he coaxing a three year old child?
314
315"You said that you had many more spirit herbs? Where are they?" From the time she saw that 'Yin Spirit Ginseng', Qiao Ying had already felt very impatient in her heart. Now, hearing Jun Mo Xie speaking like that, although she didn't quite believe his boasting, she could not help but to feel curious.
316
317"For such precious treasures, they are naturally kept in the safest and the best place to take care of them. They're all in my bedroom… when are you going to see them?" Young Master Jun asked in a somewhat shy manner.
318
319"You… you despicable hoodlum!" Qiao Ying felt her breath choking in her chest! If his spirit herbs were kept in his bedroom, then by those words he said earlier: 'a lot of my spirit herbs are looking forward to meeting you, hoping that you could be by their side forever…'
320
321Wouldn't that mean that she needed to be in his bedroom forever, just like the spirit herbs?
322
323This this this.. this pervert!
324
325"Hur hur… two beautiful ladies came here to celebrate for me today; how can this Jun let you leave empty handed… It's just that the scale of this Jun's faction is not comparable to the size of the Misty Illusory Manor or the Holy Lands, and our foundations are not as deep as well, so there's truly nothing good enough to take out. I can only treat each of you to a piece of lotus root each. May the two misses forgive me." Jun Mo Xie said with a slight smile.
326
327A piece of lotus root each?
328
329Did you think that your lotus roots are immortal pills? We came all this way just to eat your lotus root?
330
331The two ladies felt quite unhappy in their hearts.
332
333This fellow actually had the face to act poor in front of us? Everyone in the reception hall below was holding onto a stalk of Austere Heart Orchid and a Snow Silkworm Handkerchief. Even the Misty Illusory Manor and the Holy Lands might not even be able to take these two things out! There were also the Night Illumination Pearls, Fragrant Tea Herb, Yin Spirit Ginseng… which of those were not rare treasures that could not be found in the world? With your wealth, you can still say that you are poor?! Why don't you go and die instead!
334
335Qiao Ying and Miao Xiao Miao had already eaten the Exquisite Lotus Root before, so they naturally knew that that thing was at most only the size of a peanut. Naturally, they could not be cut into pieces. So they thought that Jun Mo Xie was definitely going to take out an ordinary lotus root for them. Do we care about your dumb lotus root? Could your lotus root be better than the Exquisite Lotus Root?
336
337Seeing the two girls remaining silent and were even staring at him angrily, Jun Mo Xie laughed and waved his hands, causing a large lotus root to appear in his palm!
338
339The lotus root was as thick as a fist and over a chi long!
340
341In terms of size, there were truly nothing spectacular about this lotus root. It was possibly even slightly smaller than a normal lotus root. The only thing was that this lotus root, was pure jade-white in color and translucent like a crystal, to the point where one could see through it to the other side.
342
343Also, the moment this crystalline lotus root appeared, the entire room was instantly filled with an indescribable refreshing fragrance…
344
345The smell of the Ancient Tea Fragrance Herb had lingered in this room for a long time, not dissipating. But as soon as the lotus root appeared, the smell instantly disappeared into the background, only leaving behind this refreshing scent…
346
347This intoxicating fragrance that was difficult to describe with words gave everyone an invigorating feeling when they smelt it. It was as if their souls had been cleansed…
348
349Qiao Ying's beautiful eyes suddenly widened to the limit, and her little mouth dropped to the ground. It was as if she had just seen an extremely unbelievable thing…
350
351Miao Xiao Miao was also stunned momentarily. However, she was still somewhat uncertain in her heart. It couldn't be right? How did it grow so big…
352
353But Qiao Ying had already screamed with shock. "Exquisite Lotus Root?! It's really the Exquisite Lotus Root?!"
354
355Jun Mo Xie looked at her and nodded with a calm smile.
356
357"It's really the Exquisite Lotus Root? But how is that possible?" After receiving the confirmation, Qiao Ying's body swayed slightly, as if she was on the verge of fainting. Using all her strength, she barely managed to control herself. However, she could not stop herself from rushing forward like a bolt of arrow. "Let me see! How could this be? How could it be so big…"
358
359Miao Xiao Miao was also stunned… This, this is an Exquisite Lotus Root? This is too… unbelievable wasn't it? How could it be so big?"
360
361Taking the huge lotus root from Young Master Jun's hands, an agitated look filled Qiao Ying's face! This was undoubtedly the lotus root formed by the Exquisite Lotus!
362
363To actually reach such a size…
364
365After turning it around and examining carefully like a treasure, Qiao Ying's jade-white face turned redder and redder, and her breathing became more disorderly!
366
367"To actually grow it so successfully, you… how did you do it?" Qiao Ying hugged the lotus root tightly in her arms and asked in an expectant voice.
368
369Faced with that question, Jun Mo Xie only smiled lightly and did not reply. Seeing that, Qiao Ying instantly realized her mistake. How the other party had done it was his business. Why should he tell her? Especially with the current relationship between the Evil Monarch Manor and the three Holy Lands, how could he tell her such important information?
370
371Thinking here, she smiled bitterly and shook her head. "Forgive me." Although she did not stop asking further, her tone still contained an obvious hint of reluctance!
372
373"Truthfully, there's nothing difficult about telling you. I happen to possess a piece of Heaven Earth Spirit Vein by chance!" Jun Mo Xie said with a warm smile. "Using the Heaven Earth Spirit Vein, I carved out a little pool into it… and using the Heaven Earth Spiritual Qi from it to nurture the Exquisite Lotus, I managed to grow this Exquisite Lotus Root. That's all there was to it…"
374
375Qiao Ying instantly understood! Using a Heaven Earth Spirit Vein to nurture the Exquisite Lotus would naturally be much more effective than growing it in a natural way. In fact, that was most likely the only way for such a large Exquisite Lotus Root to be born…
376
377At the same time, Qiao Ying also felt an unknown joy in her heart. There was actually no need for him to disclose this kind of secret information, but he still disclosed it to me! A person who is an outsider!
378
379That he possesses the Heaven Earth Spirit Vein of legends…
380
381If this matter is known, even the people from the Heaven Saint Palace would be envious! If the news is leaked out, it would most likely result in huge amounts of trouble for them, and they might even turn into the common target of the entire pugilistic world!
382
383However, Jun Mo Xie had actually still told her this huge secret! Simply because… she had asked!
384
385This was a huge amount of trust in her!
386
387Seeing Jun Mo Xie's warm gaze, Qiao Ying's heart skipped a beat. Inexplicably, she felt a sense of happiness.
388
389That was a happiness that came from deep in her heart…
390
391"Don't worry, I will keep this secret forever in my heart, never letting it be leaked!" Qiao Ying promised solemnly. Although her voice was low, it was filled with determination, as if she were swearing an oath. Even she did not realize the degree of sincerity she had said those words in…
392
393Jun Mo Xie chuckled and smiled lightly as he took the Exquisite Lotus Root back.
394
395Using the flat of his right hand as a blade, he made a few slices on the lotus root.
396
397The Exquisite Lotus Root was divided equally into nine pieces.
398
399"Xue Yan, bring these two slices to mother and grandfather. As for the remaining, each of you can have one." Jun Mo Xie waved his hand and the sliced pieces of lotus roots flew out, landing in front of everyone…
400
401Mei Xue Yan did not hesitate, directly nodding and left with two pieces.
402
403Once these things were cut open, it must be consumed as quickly as possible. Otherwise, if too much time passed, they would dissipate into the air completely… Even Mei Xue Yan would need to use her full speed and use her Xuan Qi to wrap around the Exquisite Lotus Root slices to prevent the energy from being lost…
404
405Filial piety was a basic value of all humans, and Jun Mo Xie's actions caused Qiao Ying and Miao Xiao Miao to feel that this Evil Monarch was a very upright person!
406
407Qiao Ying picked up the piece of Exquisite Lotus Root before her and sucked in a deep breath of air. This single slice was already 10 times the size of the Exquisite Lotus Roots that the Heaven Saint Palace had ever cultivated despite using a huge amount of time!
408
409Naturally, this lotus root's medicinal effects would not be ordinary as well!
410
411As for Miao Xiao Miao, she looked at the lotus root before her with some conflicted emotions. For her first time meeting him, how could she accept such a valuable gift? This was a truly priceless treasure, ah!
412
413This was something that had a value that was equivalent to the Seven Colored Holy Fruits! Just thinking about the arrogance of the Rainbow Holy Tree back in the Misty Illusory Manor, it was easy to imagine the preciousness of this thing…
414
415"This… I can't accept it!" Miao Xiao Miao thought for a long time and finally decided to reject the gift.
416
417Chapter 1103: My Husband is Better than Yours!
418
419
420
421"Aiya, little sister Xiao Miao, what are you being so polite about? We're all sisters of the same family; besides, you will be giving that fellow face by eating it. Quick, hurry up and eat." Dugu Xiao Yi urged. This lass had already swallowed her share in one gulp…
422
423"It's not anything rare, just a little piece of lotus root. What's there to reject?" Jun Mo Xie looked at Miao Xiao Miao and said in a gentle voice. "Everyone has already eaten theirs, so you should hurry and eat it as well. Otherwise, if too much time passes, this lotus root will simply dissipate into the air. That would really be considered wasting a heavenly treasure…"
424
425Miao Xiao Miao's heart shivered, and she looked at the Exquisite Lotus in her hand. Indeed, the corners were already showing signs of melting apart…
426
427In that moment, she could not help but feel exceedingly conflicted in her heart. If I insist on not eating it, with his status, he will definitely not take the gift back. In that case, this thing would just melt and disappear, truly wasting it… From the looks of it, she had no choice but to owe this favor…
428
429Thinking here, she could not help but sigh lightly in her heart. This person was truly too overbearing… to not even allow others to reject the gifts he handed out… Left with no options, she could only put the lotus root in her mouth and bite down upon it. In that instant, she could feel an ice cool energy flow through her throat, and her entire body felt invigorated in an instant..
430
431A copious amount of energy surged through her meridians… at the same time, everyone felt like their meridians had been expanded substantially. Furthermore, the flexibility and sturdiness of their meridians had been strengthened greatly after the ice cool energy flowed through…
432
433Following that, the powerful energy flowed into their dantian and settled down.
434
435But everyone understood that this energy would not simply disappear like that. Instead, it would continue to protect their bodies. Even without the Seven Colored Holy Fruits to activate the energy, the medicinal energy would persist and seep into every part of the body. But if the Seven Colored Holy Fruits came into the picture, this energy would instantly be transformed into over a thousand years worth of pure energy!
436
437It was sufficient to let their cultivations improve greatly!
438
439After some time, Mei Xue Yan had also returned.
440
441"Everyone only consumed the Exquisite Lotus this time, but I suggest that you don't use the Seven Colored Holy Fruit to activate the energy after you return. Instead, you should let it remain in your body to flow naturally, allowing it to transform your physique slowly… After waiting for around a year, the energy will truly become a part of you. If you consume the Seven Colored Holy Fruits at that time, it would not affect these effects! This energy will even become something that would be slowly beneficial that could be felt throughout your life."
442
443Jun Mo Xie said seriously.
444
445And all the girls nodded rapidly.
446
447At this time, Miao Xiao Miao suddenly remembered Dugu Xiao Yi's words: 'We're all sisters of the same family; besides, you will be giving that fellow face by eating it…' Sisters of the same family?
448
449What were the meaning of those words?
450
451Could it be… Jun Mo Xie had some thoughts towards her?
452
453Those were very thoughtful words, ah!
454
455As she thought here, Miao Xiao Miao felt a huge shock through her heart! At the same time, a strong sense of repulsion rose in her heart!
456
457If she knew about this in advance, she would rather have let the Exquisite Lotus Root be wasted than to eat it…
458
459"This Xiao Miao is extremely grateful to Lord Evil Monarch for the gift of the spirit herb. If there's a chance, I will come here with my husband to offer our thanks to Manor Lord Jun." Miao Xiao Miao bowed deeply and said to Jun Mo Xie.
460
461These words were naturally not to express her thanks, but to clarify a point. I'm already married; if you have any designs on me, it's better to dismiss the thought early.
462
463"So it turns out that little sister Miao already has a person in your heart? And you're already married?" Mei Xue Yan looked at Miao Xiao Miao with a strange look in her eyes. An exceedingly queer look also hung on her face… it was as if she wanted to laugh, but she forcefully controlled herself…
464
465Hearing this question, Miao Xiao Miao suddenly began to think of her Mo Jun Ye again. Her face beaming with happiness, she nodded. "Yes, my husband is extremely good to me! I'm the person he loves and cares for the most in this world."
466
467"Ah… little sister Miao, that husband of yours… how does he look?" Dugu Xiao Yi was exceptionally curious about what kind of look Jun Mo Xie had used in the Misty Illusory Manor, and she excitedly leapt forward to ask.
468
469Miao Xiao Miao was somewhat at a loss for words.
470
471This lass was obviously much younger than her and was probably at least two, three years younger. However, she could still thicken her face and call her little sister…
472
473Who knew where that form of address came from?
474
475"My husband goes by the surname Mo…" Miao Xiao Miao smiled and closed her eyes slightly, seemingly able to see her Mo Jun Ye standing in front of her and smiling at her…
476
477"His figure is actually rather similar to Manor Lord Jun, but his looks are far from comparable. He could be said to look rather ordinary and slightly dark, not standing out…" Miao Xiao Miao described with a smile. Her face was filled with a deep level of contentedness.
478
479"So that fellow had pretended to be an ugy person…" Dugu Xiao Yi thought in her heart. "To pretend to be an ugly person and still manage to woo the top beauty of the Misty Illusory Manor.. truly formidable…"
480
481"Although my husband is not particularly handsome, his personality and heart is exceptionally great! Furthermore, he's completely devoted to me…" Miao Xiao Miao said in a happy voice. "He's well learned and talented, and I even wonder if there's anything in this world that he doesn't have have knowledge about… He's also a gentle and thoughtful person…"
482
483As she spoke to here, Miao Xiao Miao suddenly felt that the atmosphere had become somewhat strange. Looking up, she realized that this Evil Monarch had lowered his head and was rubbing his nose with a somewhat ugly expression on his face…
484
485There were even a thick look of… jealousy? … On the other girls' faces.
486
487Hmph, there's no use even if you are jealous, Jun Ye belongs to me! As she thought here, a sense of pride grew in Miao Xiao Miao's heart.
488
489"My husband has a vast amount of talent, and he'd even written many poems to me… composing songs and writing lyrics as well…" Miao Xiao Miao were already beginning to show off…
490
491"What? Wrote poems for you? Composed songs? Wrote lyrics?" The girls' voices grew louder and louder, as if they were incomparably envious. At the same time, the smell of vinegar[1] in the room had become even stronger!
492
493"That's right." The sense of pride in Miao Xiao Miao's words was growing stronger and stronger as she nodded with great satisfaction. "On the day that I was engaged with him, it was also the day I had my Heavenly Tribulation for the Venerable realm. When I was unable to bear the Heavenly Tribulation, it was my husband who disregarded his own life to accompany me. After that, he proposed to me on the spot with a poem. I still remember that poem to this day. Ai, I've spoken wrongly. Those words are the oath between us… I will never forget it in this lifetime…"
494
495"Oath? Poem? What poem?" The girls' eyes were blazing with fire at this point.
496
497Hmph! That fellow had also accompanied us to pass through the Heavenly Tribulation before ah… how come there were no poems? Why didn't he display his vast amounts of talents? Hmph! Over ten large white eyes instantly riveted on Jun Mo Xie's body.
498
499Young Master Jun felt the hairs on the back of his neck standing on its ends. Looking at Miao Xiao Miao, he cursed under his breath. My dearest great aunt, why are you still speaking? Are you trying to drown them in vinegar…?
500
501"At that time, he asked me: 'With the Heavens as our blanket, and the Earth as our bed, the wind as delicacies, rain as wine; the clouds will be our wedding decoration and the mist our witness; the thunder shall be our betrothal gifts, and the lightning the matchmaker… Miao Xiao Miao, are you willing to be my woman in this life?'..."
502
503Miao Xiao Miao naturally could not hear what Jun Mo Xie was saying in his heart, and she directly recounted the entire poem word for word, in a gentle and dreamy voice. "Do you know? My entire heart simply melted in that moment…"
504
505F*ck, if it were me, I would have melted as well!
506
507All the girls thought with jealousy. Just hearing that poem had already caused these girls to feel a warm and drunk feeling in their hearts…
508
509What kind of romantic situation was that ah…
510
511You may have melted, but our hearts are almost shattered!
512
513Wu wu… this heartless fellow!
514
515Young Master Jun's face turned a strange shade of green, and he was almost on the verge of collapsing. Miss Miao ah, please stop reminiscing, you need to leave some mercy with your tongue ah! Are you trying to take the little life of your dearest Jun Ye?!
516
517Unfortunately for him, Miao Xiao Miao was not going to stop. She was originally saying this to stop him from having any ideas about her, so why would she stop now? If that fellow decided to go to the Misty Illusory Manor and stubbornly ask for her hand in marriage, using his status… and the more troubling part was, the Misty Illusory Manor might even agree…
518
519"We were in the middle of a Heavenly Tribulation, and lightning was streaking across the sky, and the earth was rumbling. The rain was falling heavily, and the winds were howling madly. Black clouds covered the entire sky… but even with that kind of weather, and the dangerous situation, I didn't feel anything, except bliss and a feeling of security…"
520
521Miao Xiao Miao had obviously returned back to the mood at that time as she smiled in a contented manner. "At that time, I thought that even if I were to die in that moment, it would be worth it… As a woman, to have a person who loves you stick by your side through life and death, especially a person who she loves as well… That kind of happiness is truly enough to last for a lifetime…"
522
523F*ck, if it were us… we would find it worth even if we died as well!
524
525The girls had become even more jealous now, and their eyes looked like they were ready to swallow Jun Mo Xie whole.
526
527Young Master Jun coughed hoarsely, and a layer of sweat formed on his forehead… I'm dead, I'm dead… this time, I'm really going to die for sure…
528
529Feeling the sharp gazes of everyone on him, Young Master Jun's heart shivered… My lovely Xiao Miao ah, you've killed your husband this time…
530
531"Who would have thought that we would actually come out alive after the tribulation… From then on, I swore to myself that I would spend life and death beside my husband for the rest of my life, never leaving or forsaking him!"
532
533Miao Xiao Miao sounded like she was swearing an oath…
534
535"En, if I may ask a little further, your husband… what is his cultivation level at?" Dugu Xiao Yi nodded and asked. Nobody knew what other strange ideas she was hatching this time.
536
537"Him? His current cultivation is not high, only at the Golden Xuan level." Miao Xiao Miao replied, her voice suddenly turned proud. "But it's because he didn't have a good teacher before this, and he began cultivating late. However, my husband has the rare Free and Natural Physique that had only appeared once in the past 10,000 years! Once he starts to rise, he would be unstoppable! Keke, the Nine Nether First Young Master had exactly this same Free and Natural Physique! In the history of the entire Misty Illusory Manor, there have only been two people with the Free and Natural Physique before! My husband, and the Nine Nether First Young Master! Even our Misty Illusory Manor has great hopes that Jun Ye would be the next Nine Nether First Young Master, and also the only person in the past 10,000 years who has the chance to surpass the Nine Nether First Young Master!"
538
539Afraid that the rest would not know how amazing the Free and Natural Physique was, Miao Xiao Miao specially explained it for them.
540
541"Hm, so it's the Free and Natural Physique of the legends, ah!" Dugu Xiao Yi turned and glared fiercely at Jun Mo Xie.
542
543[1] Vinegar smell refers to jealousy.
544
545Chapter 1104: The Vinegar Vats are All Overturned...
546
547
548
549Looking at Jun Mo Xie, Miao Xiao Miao felt somewhat guilty in her heart. Because she knew that no matter how much effort Mo Jun Ye put in, this Evil Monarch before her had already moved far ahead of him.
550
551A 19 years old Saint Venerable!
552
553The Lord of the Evil Monarch Manor, the Evil Monarch!
554
555All the fame and power, in addition to his age… there was no doubt that he would be a legend in this world!
556
557Even if Mo Jun Ye had the legendary Free and Natural Physique, he still started way too late. To even reach Jun Mo Xie's current cultivation, he would still need at least another 100 years! At that time, the world would be completely different…
558
559But I won't let my Jun Ye compare with this fellow… hmph, this Jun Mo Xie is no doubt a huge playboy! He already has so many great beauties by his side, and he still wants to have designs on me…
560
561Miao Xiao Miao thought angrily. As her thoughts traveled here, she suddenly felt that Mo Jun Ye was much better than Jun Mo Xie… How devoted is my Jun Ye ah… whether it is towards that Elder sister, or to me!
562
563"I truly envy you…" Guan Qing Han said lightly. Those words were truly from her heart.
564
565Miao Xiao Miao smiled and shook her head. "Elder sister Guan is too nice. Who doesn't know what Manor Lord Jun did for you that time, using his frail strength to stand up against the Xue Hun Manor and even challenged the entire Tian Xiang, not hesitating to kill even if blood flowed like a river! Elder sister Guan, to have a man go so far for you, you are even more worthy of my envy…"
566
567Hearing this, Guan Qing Han's expression also softened considerably. Thinking back to what Jun Mo Xie had done back then, she felt a warmth surge through her heart. Looking at Jun Mo Xie, her eyes filled with emotion…
568
569It was him, who changed her hard and painful existence! And given her happiness… As a woman, what else does she still have to be unhappy about…
570
571The envious gazes of the crowd suddenly shifted to Guan Qing Han…
572
573"Little sister Xiao Miao, your husband even composed a song for you? Could you… let us hear it? All of us sisters know a bit about music and have some accomplishment in it." This sentence from Mei Xue Yan was clearly to create some trouble for Jun Mo Xie.
574
575From the looks of it, only Ling Meng, Guan Qing Han, and Han Yan Meng knew something about music. As for the other girls, they didn't have much interest in such stuff. Dugu Xiao Yi was an extremely active person who could not sit still to learn music. Furthermore, she was born in a military family and knew more about wielding spears and swords…
576
577As for Ke'er, if Young Master Jun had transmigrated a few years earlier, he might have managed to groom her into a talented girl proficient in literature and the arts. But unfortunately, Jun Mo Xie had come too late, neglecting her. In addition, this lass had been bent on being a helping hand to him, so whenever she had any extra time, she would spend it on cultivation. Where would she have the time to learn about music…
578
579"Xue Yan…" Jun Mo Xie looked helplessly at Mei Xue Yan and said in a pleading voice.
580
581"What are you calling me for? Before this, us sisters still felt that you were an acceptable person. But the moment there's someone to compare with, it's easy to see which one is the trash! For the sake of fairness, you better go and compose a poem and write a song for each of us sisters! Look at other people's husbands, so talented and devoted! If you can't do it, hmph hmph, you should understand the consequences very well yourself!" Mei Xue Yan said huffily.
582
583With a loud gulping sound, Jun Mo Xie collapsed onto the chair and leaned there in a lifeless manner…
584
585"That's right that's right, big brother Mo Xie, you must write for us as well! If you can't do it, or if you can't write it well, keke…" Dugu Xiao Yi also snarled and threatened.
586
587"Sisters, this kind of matter cannot be rushed… as the saying goes, everyone has his weak points as well as his strong ones. Everyone has different things that they are good at ah! If Manor Lord Jun is not good in this area, there's no point forcing it. The literary arts and cultivation are both reliant heavily on talent."
588
589Miao Xiao Miao smiled gleefully and jumped out to save the situation. "One needs to have a long period of practice and nurturing, as well as very deep refined background. There's a need for extensive research, and to be proficient in all areas… hur hur, sisters, there's no need to force him too much, it wouldn't be good if Manor Lord Jun is put in a difficult position…"
590
591Jun Mo Xie held his face in his hands in a pained manner as he curled up on the chair like a boiled shrimp.
592
593Heavens ah, is this still called persuasion?
594
595"Little sister Xiao Miao, there's no need for you to be too concerned about this matter. If Mo Xie can't do it, we also can't do much to this Evil Monarch. At most, we can only ignore him!"
596
597Mei Xue Yan smiled lightly and said. "How about we listen to the song little sister Xiao Miao's husband wrote for her first? We are not unreasonable people, so we'll just set that as our benchmark. Sisters, what do you think about that?"
598
599"Great idea! I'll go and get the Qin!" Dugu Xiao Yi stood up with a whoosh sound and ran out.
600
601Use the song that my Jun Ye had written as a benchmark? Looks like this Evil Monarch is in trouble…
602
603Miao Xiao Miao looked sympathetically at Jun Mo Xie, but her heart was bursting with glee!
604
605Brat, your Xuan cultivation and your status is high, but compared to my Jun Ye… hur hur… how can you be a match?
606
607You dare to have designs on this young miss? See if I don't play you to death! Miao Xiao Miao had already decided that when the Qin is brought out later, she would definitely do her best and bring out her best standard! It would be best if she could make this Jun Mo Xie suffer a little…
608
609Dugu Xiao Yi's speed was extremely fast, and in a short moment, the pitter-patter of her footsteps could already be heard as she brought out an ancient looking Qin.
610
611Everyone looked towards Jun Mo Xie, their eyes cold and unsympathetic.
612
613If disasters came from nature, something could be done to counter them; but if they were of one's own making, one was done for! Right now, Young Master Jun was exactly a person who was done in by a disaster of his own making!
614
615Jun Mo Xie sighed heavily, his breath filled with lamentation…
616
617Dear Heavens ah, great Earth ah, why is my life so bitter?
618
619Miao Xiao Miao sat before the Qin and plucked at the strings, causing a bright sound to ring out…
620
621"Good Qin!" Miao Xiao Miao's eyes lit up as she gasped. This ancient Qin was even better than the one she had back in the Misty Illusory Manor!
622
623"This Qin is made with Dragon Resonating Wood, and the strings are made with the tendons of the Violet Dragon of the Ocean Depths, intertwined with the silk of the Snow Silkworms. The materials were gathered by Mo Xie and it was hand crafted by me." Guan Qing Han said with a slight smile.
624
625"Elder sister Guan is indeed an amazing genius!" Miao Xiao Miao looked at Guan Qing Han with respect in her eyes.
626
627To be able to play the Qin was nothing difficult. As long as one was a young lady from the aristocratic families, they would know how to play. But the art of crafting the Qin, was a completely different matter! To be able to craft a set of musical instrument like this with great acoustics, beauty, and accuracy, was something that was exceedingly difficult!
628
629"Please forgive the minor skills of this little sister." Miao Xiao Miao sucked in two deep breaths and lightly ran her jade-like fingers across the chords, causing a beautiful sound to ring out.
630
631The musical notes began to fall into place, and the crowd felt as if they could see flowers falling from the sky, covering the earth…
632
633Song of the Burial of Flowers!
634
635The sound of the Qin began to rise…
636
637This was just the beginning of the song, and Guan Qing Han and the rest were already lost in the beautiful melody.
638
639"Flowers fade and fly, and flying fill the sky…" Miao Xiao Miao sang lightly, her voice drifting with the sound of the Qin. The image of Mo Jun Ye's voice and his smile appeared before her once again, and she only felt a sweet feeling filling her heart. This sad and doughty Song of the Burial of Flowers had actually turned into a song filled with happiness and contentment when sung by her.
640
641With her heart blooming with happiness like that, she naturally gave a different spirit to this tune. The original mood of the song was gone, but even so, this was already sufficient!
642
643A moment later, the sound of Qin died down and disappeared.
644
645A patch of silence hung in the entire room, and only the lingering sound of the music remained in everyone's ears.
646
647After a long time, Mei Xue Yan sighed heavily and said, "What is the name of this song?"
648
649"Song of the Burial of Flowers." Miao Xiao Miao replied.
650
651"This song… was it really… composed by your husband for you?" Although Guan Qing Han who had a deep knowledge about music was filled with praises for the song, she also found something strange about it. "This song is undoubtedly a classic piece, but… for it to be written by a man who loves his wife deeply… it's somewhat unlikely…"
652
653Miao Xiao Miao's face turned red, and she couldn't reply. This song had indeed been written by Mo Jun Ye, but it was only written for the sake of the competition at that time. How was it written for her? Initially, she had boasted like that because she wanted to ward off the perverted Evil Monarch. But who would have thought that the sharp ear-ed Guan Qing Han would have such high understanding of music that she could even tell the original meaning of the song even though she had already changed its mood when she played it? This question had truly stumped her…
654
655Just as Guan Qing Han had said, this song was definitely not the kind of song that lovers write for each other…
656
657The girls exchanged knowing looks and smiled. Although they didn't know the exact reasons, they would not pursue the matter.
658
659And because of this rendition, the animosity of the crowd towards Young Master Jun had lessened greatly. As long as this song was not written directly for somebody else, everything could be discussed!
660
661Following that, the crowd asked a few more questions, and requested for Miao Xiao Miao to recite the poem that Jun Mo Xie had composed as well.
662
663Miao Xiao Miao instantly sat up excitedly. She was naturally excited to have the chance to showcase the talents of her husband in front of her new friends.
664
665When the poem 'The Rogue-Colored Tear' rang out, all the girls were stunned! Numerous pairs of large beautiful eyes swivelled towards Jun Mo Xie in an instant. Who would have thought that this number one debauchee of Tian Xiang was such a cultured person!
666
667But the most unforgivable thing was…
668
669There were so many girls at home, but not only was he not making any efforts to make them happy, he even displayed such a strong performance when wooing girls outside!
670
671Could it be that the flowers grown at home were really incomparable to the wild flowers found outside?
672
673Or perhaps it's the thinking that the girls at home had already been locked down and would not run away, which was why there wasn't that much need to pay as much effort?
674
675Truly intolerable!
676
677This 'hidden skill' that Young Master Jun had shown was enough to thoroughly enrage the crowd!
678
679The anger that had just subsided slightly had risen to a new peak once again!
680
681When the poem 'Though man bow and live according to the will of the heavens, they might beget no salvation; those who defy the heavens should look to the skies and laugh! Who can be like me, creating great billows in the world with a point of my sword? The Sun and Moon are in my arms; watch as I rise above the crowd with my excellence…" The rage of the crowd soared to an uncontrollable extent in an instant!
682
683Unable to sit still any longer, Young Master Jun could only resort to the last method in the Thirty-Six Stratagems[1]…
684
685"Erm, that, Miss Miao, can we… talk for a moment?" Jun Mo Xie gestured weakly. He was already finished. This time, the vinegar vat had been completely overturned…
686
687"I have no interest in talking with you!" Miao Xiao Miao snorted and turned away, clearly not intending to bother with him.
688
689"Huh? What do you want to talk to little sister Miao for!? Are there any important matters that cannot be said in front of us sisters? If you want to talk with her, that's fine. But you have to pay up the debt that you owe to us sisters first!" Mei Xue Yan said emotionlessly, her two eyes staring unrelentingly at him.
690
691[1] The Thirty-Six Stratagems is a Chinese essay used to illustrate a series of stratagems used in politics, war, and civil interaction. Its focus on the use of cunning and deception both on the battlefield and in court have drawn comparisons to Sun Tzu's The Art of War.

693Chapter 1105: This is How the Greatest Poet is Born!
694
695
696
697Qiao Ying watched the spectacle with a smile.
698
699"Oh… this… that…" Jun Mo Xie wrecked his brain. Looks like I'll have to plagiarize significantly today.
700
701"Xue Yan is right! Then I shall compose a poem for you first, Xue Yan." Jun Mo Xie cleared his throat. All the women looked at him expectantly. Naturally, there were a few that were gloating at his demise.
702
703Like Miao Xiao Miao for example. Currently, she practically cackling away in her head. You, a fighter… dare to say that you know how to write poems? You're probably capable of producing an incongruous limerick! Hmph! I am determined to watch you make a fool out of yourself today! How dare you think of comparing yourself to my Jun Ye!
704
705"En… I got it! Xue Yan is generosity and magnanimity has given me an inspiration." Jun Mo Xie took a couple of steps and snapped his fingers. "The coloured clouds are her flowing robes, the flowers, her face that glimmers in the bright, spring dew; If you do not see her atop the jade mountains, you'll find her beneath the moonlight of paradise!"
706
707All the women were stunned!
708
709Miao Xiao Miao was stunned to the point of silence!
710
711Could it be that this Jun Mo Xie is really a demon?! He had only took that brief moment to think, took three steps and came up with this poem! And such a meaningful one, that was extremely compatible with Mei Xue Yan's status and grace…
712
713This flair in poetry is not necessarily any inferior than my Jun Ye…
714
715No, this should be a coincidence… It definitely is by chance…
716
717"Alright, alright, it's Qing Han's turn." Mei Xue Yan hurried. Mei Xue Yan was the first to get the praise from her lover, and it was such a beautiful poem that will last for the ages, so she was fully satisfied, her blissfulness showing on her face.
718
719"Qing Han's… For Qing Han… En! I got it!" Jun Mo Xie pretended to frown and walked two rounds before snapping his fingers again. "I got it! A name that matches her country toppling beauty, so beautiful that the Lord smiles upon the sight of her; dissolving the endless frustrations of her Lord, her company erasing all troubles!"
720
721Everyone's eyes widened!
722
723To think that Jun Mo Xie had this trick up his sleeves! The two sentences of 'dissolving the endless frustrations of her Lord, her company erasing all troubles' was truly too compatible with that unique elegance and worry-free nature of Guan Qing Han…
724
725A talent, ah…
726
727Small stars appeared in the eyes of all the girls.
728
729Dugu Xiao Yi was the only female present who watched Jun Mo Xie come up with a poem before. It was during the Gifted Scholar's Autumn Festival Feast back then. But thinking back on the 'poem' that Jun Mo Xie had created, even Dugu Xiao Yi felt embarrassed. Listen to me… cause I speak with passion; Ugly ones won't do; Don't tell me you love me, I'm too bad; Don't be infatuated with this elder brother, This elder brother is a legend; Don't provoke me, I'll make you spit blood;…
730
731That was also called a poem? That was just trash that was not even worthy of being heard! It was just utter bullshit…
732
733So Dugu Xiao Yi had never expected that one day, Jun Mo Xie would be capable of producing a poem, even if it was a limerick…
734
735Today, when faced with all these, Dugu Xiao Yi's mouth could only hang wider and wider… Until she couldn't help but rub at her eyes. This… is this really Jun Mo Xie? I'm not dreaming, am I?
736
737Miao Xiao Miao also rubbed her eyes. This is too shocking…
738
739If she insisted that the previous poem was by chance, maybe it was still believable. But the second poem had been produced; could it still be a coincidence?
740
741Finally, under the expectation and pressure of all the women present, Jun Mo Xie composed poems for every single beauty present before he finally managed to quell this wave of resentment.
742
743Even Qiao Ying received a poem from Jun Mo Xie: there is a beauty in the Northern Country, a solitary existence; a glance of hers topples the capital, another gaze topples the country; yet one would rather lose his empire, for it is difficult to find another beauty like her.
744
745Everyone was happy!
746
747Everyone looked at Jun Mo Xie with admiration in their eyes! Too amazing! Too awesome! So many poems were churned out in a blink of an eye, and every single one of them was a classic among classics!
748
749Even the number one poet in the world did not have a talent like this, ah!
750
751Truly, the greatest poet, ah…
752
753Had Jun Mo Xie known what they were thinking, he would be depressed. So the greatest poets were forced into existence like this…
754
755Only Miao Xiao Miao was a little gloomy in the midst of her admiration. Why is this fellow so talented? He looks so girly, and have no sense of masculinity, yet he is so talented at poetry, the Heavens are really blind…
756
757Had Jun Mo Xie known what Miao Xiao Miao was thinking, he would've vomited blood like crazy. I only look slightly more handsome; which part of me is girly? How can I not be masculine?!
758
759Seeing how all the women were looking at Young Master Jun in admiration, full of happiness and satisfaction, Miao Xiao Miao felt indignant and couldn't help but roll her eyes. Hmph, is there a need to admire him this much? He only know how to create some lines, how can he compare to my Jun Ye, who even knows music…
760
761As she mulled in her thoughts, her fingers gently plucked at the strings of the zither, a longing look in her eyes. Jun Ye… where are you? Do you know how I'm missing you?
762
763How nice would it be if you could come over right now and stomp the arrogance of this Evil Monarch a little… And also let these girls know that my Jun Ye is the best…
764
765This sudden sound of the instrument pulled the girls back to their senses. He managed to fool his way through for poetrys, but what about songs? Where is the song for each of us?
766
767Hmph! This fellow had composed a song for Miao Xiao Miao! No! That is unforgivable!
768
769The jealousy of women was extremely terrifying. Although all the girls already knew that the song was not specially composed by Jun Mo Xie for Miao Xiao Miao, but as long as they already believed firmly on something, if she said that you did, you did it. Even if you didn't!
770
771So…
772
773Jun Mo Xie was just enjoying the admiration gleefully when he was denounced again…
774
775Composing a song!
776
777And it was the same rule, one for each person.
778
779This request left Young Master Jun practically vomiting blood!
780
781"Um… you have all heard so many poems, you must be tired of it, let me go and take a look at what Tang Yuan is doing, so this fellow doesn't wreck our Evil Monarch Manor…" Jun Mo Xie found a random reason and wanted to slip away, but Mei Xue Yan blocked his exit.
782
783Then, Dugu Xiao Yi and the rest all rushed over and completely blocked the entire way out.
784
785Thinking of leaving? Fat hope! No way!
786
787Looking at all these queens that are blocking the door, Young Master Jun could only smile bitterly and yell internally. Help ah…
788
789"All my dear beauties, please have mercy… Composing songs is not that easy; it is not like eating cabbages, I must have some inspiration no matter what, and some time to slowly materialize it, then refine it and come out with a few drafts before it can be heard… You don't know the difficulty of composing ah…" Jun Mo Xie said with a bitter expression.
790
791Jun Mo Xie was putting on a sorrowful act, hoping that he could get the understanding of all the women. But things didn't turn out contrary to the way one wished. Not only did his pitiful act not get any pity, it only added fuel to the fire.
792
793All the women got even more aggressive, all their faces turning red. Jun Mo Xie was completely confused…
794
795"Ah, so Brother Mo Xie despised the fact that I don't know songs, so you have never spoke to me about it, ah! No wonder you don't have the interest to compose songs in front of me…" Dugu Xiao Yi said with a pout, her eyes welling up with tears, as if she were about to cry any moment…
796
797Young Master Jun was dumbfounded. What did I say? What did I say? I didn't say anything ah…
798
799"What else needs to be said? We all don't know what is the difficulty of composing songs ah, we only know how to eat cabbages. How envious of Sister Miao, ah, she has such a doting husband. Both of them have the same interests. That is what I call a perfect pair ah. Say no more, we all understand already!" Mei Xue Yan said in an eccentric manner.
800
801Looks like Great Beauty Mei is determined to ruin things today…
802
803Jun Mo Xie was not only dumbfounded, he was practically about to break down. Where is this coming from? That is not what I meant ah! Aren't you giving me a wrongful death?
804
805Miao Xiao Miao quickly tried to mediate. "Elder sisters, what Manor Lord Jun said is a fact, inspiration is most important when it comes to composing, if there is no inspiration, even the greatest prodigy cannot do anything about it!"
806
807"Hm, so it is because he does not have any inspiration around us, ah, why does Sister Miao's husband have all that inspiration? Looks like it must be because they both have a good relationship ah…" Han Yan Meng said sulkingly, clicking her tongue.
808
809Jun Mo Xie was completely defeated and utterly depressed. He begged for mercy. "This thing is really not something that will come with pressure ah, even if I am an immortal… Dearest ladies, spare me some mercy ah…"
810
811It was not that difficult for Young Master Jun to come out with songs. There were plenty of classics that he remembered, but right now, it was not the time to allow this bunch of women to gang up and get their way. Otherwise, if they randomly come seeking for a song, then he would still run out of available songs sooner or later…
812
813Besides, showing too much in one go made everything less precious, ah…
814
815None of the women were bothered seeing Young Master Jun's exasperation. But all their gazes fell onto Guan Qing Han. When it came to composing song lyrics, Guan Qing Han could be said to be one of the experts. Even better than Jun Mo Xie, this expert who plagiarized works. Right now, everyone was willing to hear her opinion.
816
817Guan Qing Han was not like the other women earlier, joining forces to attack Young Master Jun. There was no other reason, she was in deep thoughts because of something Miao Xiao Miao said. Thinking about the feelings Jun Mo Xie had to her, and his love towards her!
818
819She instantly jolted back to her senses upon the gaze of all the girls. She said gently, "Dear Sisters, what Mo Xie said is not wrong. Be it writing lyrics, poems, or paintings, any quality work requires inspiration. Mo Xie may be talented, but he has already composed so many poems for us earlier, forcing him to compose is making things difficult for him. Even if he is able to come up with something, it will definitely be a substandard piece of work, which is as good as not coming up with it. So I hope you will reconsider!"
820
821Guan Qing Han didn't usually open her mouth to speak, but the moment she did, there would always be meaning to her words. Everyone became more rational after hearing her. After a discussion, they still came up with one request. It was indeed too demanding to make him compose a song for everyone, but he still had to compose one. And it must make everyone satisfied. If it was not good enough, he had to recompose it until everyone was pleased. We mustn't lose to Miao Xiao Miao's great husband 'Mo Jun Ye' no matter what…
822
823Chapter 1106: Leaving You in Awe!
824
825
826
827Miao Xiao Miao watched expectantly, gloating at Jun Mo Xie's circumstances. The more Jun Mo Xie excelled, the more irritated she felt! She absolutely must see him embarrassed!
828
829Miao Xiao Miao was Jun Mo Xie's woman. She was unaware of it, but Young Master Jun was definitely 'well-aware of this. Thus the way he looks at Miao Xiao Miao was different from others. But it was precisely this 'indecent' look that landed him in this state!
830
831Had Young Master Jun known that this was the root of his 'misfortune' today, he would probably be in extremely regretful and feel extremely indignant. But she's clearly my wife, and we've already done that, so why can't I look, where is the justice in this, is there still justice around…
832
833"Alright! I shall compose a song for you all then. Let you all know my prowess! Looks like you all won't know how impressive and unrivalled your husband is if I don't leave you in awe!"
834
835The current circumstances were truly unfavourable after all, so composing a song was the best solution right now. Thus, Jun Mo Xie could only concede. But Jun Mo Xie brought up his condition: "I have to make it clear that there is only going to be one song. If you still wish for it, it'll require a long time and accumulation of inspiration…"
836
837"Fine!" All the women agreed simultaneously, no longer making it difficult for him.
838
839Actually, the girls were all aware that it was a long process for a song to be composed. The reason why they were so unrelenting earlier was purely out of jealousy. It was already an unexpected joy to be able to force him to compose a song today…
840
841Even if this song was not impressive, they'd just let him pass. How could they make him really recompose a song if it wasn't well done?
842
843Miao Xiao Miao was caught off guard seeing that he was really going to compose a song on the spot. Jun Ye took such a long time to do it. If Jun Mo Xie was able to compose a song and write its lyrics on the spot, even if it was slightly sloppy, it was still truly impressive!
844
845But does this fellow really have this capability? I still harbor doubts on this. If he really skimp on his work, I'll definitely point it out. And influence his wives to pressure him to redo it until everyone is satisfied… Hmph to even think of comparing himself to my Jun Ye…
846
847"If it is composing just one song, it is possible. It is just that before I start it, I need to tell you guys a short story. Because this song was inspired by this story…" Jun Mo Xie naturally had to lay the context in place first. "A long time ago, there was a young scholar called Liang Shan Bo. In order to participate in the imperial exams, he entered the academy to study…"
848
849The inspiration that struck him this time was Butterfly Lovers.
850
851After all, that Song of the Burial of Flowers was beautifully desolate in its lyrics and meaning, and it was rare to find another tune that was comparable to Song of the Burial of Flowers asides from 'Butterfly Lovers'.
852
853Naturally, there were plenty of other classics from his previous life that were comparable, but Jun Mo Xie could no longer remember that many…
854
855"… In his despair, Liang Shan Bo fell ill, vomited blood and died…"
856
857"… In the end, when Zhu Ying Tai walked before Liang Shan Bo's grave, suddenly, the grave opened with a clap of thunder and swallowed Zhu Ying Tai. Colorful mists emerged from inside. When it cleared, two butterflies fluttered out freely together… And inside the grave, both their corpses were gone. It turned out that the love of this couple who was so deeply in love had moved the Heavens that they transformed into butterflies to spend all eternity together…"
858
859When Jun Mo Xie was done with the story, he could hear sobbing and sniffing around him. Turning around, he noticed that the eyes of all the women are red and teary, even Qiao Ying and Mei Xue Yan…
860
861"This tune is composed according to this story. It shall be then named 'Transformation into Butterflies'!" Jun Mo Xie slowly sat down before the zither and began to pluck at the strings.
862
863This song was ideally performed using a violin, but the logic in music was universal, so it was not entirely impossible to play it using a Qin. It was just that the sound of the violin would automatically come out natural poignant, sad and beautiful cadence whereas playing with a Qin would come off somewhat too clear and melodious…
864
865"The green grass and flowers bloom and flourish, colorful butterflies flutter about back and forth in pairs; a deep love that lasts for all eternity, Shan Bo loves Zhu Ying Tai forever…" Jun Mo Xie sang along with the sounds of the Qin. "Spending three years studying together, sitting side by side without the slightest suspicion; expressing their love to each other when they were eighteen, who knew that parting was at the tower…"
866
867All the women felt as if they could see the images along with his singing. A man and a woman meet each other in an academy… that girl was dressed as a male, but the man was completely unaware… until when they had to bid farewell that he learnt of her identity…
868
869Reluctantly bidding farewell, making the promise of eternity, a perpetual love… then parting ways without a choice. Not knowing that after this parting, their dream would never be fulfilled, this farewell was an eternal parting…
870
871Shan Bo's marriage proposal was rejected by the Zhu Family. He fell into despair after he returned home, and after hearing that the Zhu Family had set a marriage engagement with the Ma Family, in his distraught, he fell ill and died. After Ying Tai heard that Shan Bo died because of her, she was filled with anguish and swore never to marry.
872
873Alas, fate loves to toy with men. The powerful and influential Ma Family came forth to take their bride. For her family's sake, without a better choice, Ying Tai sat on the sedan chair with resentment.
874
875When they passed by Shan Bo's grave, Zhu Ying Tai stubbornly insisted on getting off the sedan chair to pay her respects. Due to Ying Tai's deep grief, heavy rain poured and there was a loud clap of thunder and the grave mysteriously opened. Ying Tai leapt into and it closed back again. When the winds and rain stopped, the couple transformed into butterflies and flutter about freely in the world…
876
877Jun Mo Xie had definitely underestimated the might of this song!
878
879The helplessness of this song, 'Transformation into Butterflies' was difficult for anyone in Jun Mo Xie's previous life to understand, even though they continued to pass the story of their devoted love on…
880
881But it was very different now.
882
883Guan Qing Han, Han Yan Meng, Miao Xiao Miao, Dugu Xiao Yi. Which one of these girls were not the daughters of some influential family? Which one of them didn't know the helplessness and lack of options for a girl in such a family?
884
885In this world, more than ninety percent of the daughters of influential families had to sacrifice for the sake of their family's interests. Becoming a tool for drawing benefitting connections. Two families were celebrating for the benefit gained out of their alliance through marriage, but who cared about the kind of life the girl would have to lead after marrying over? How did they feel? You were the family's daughter; the family had provided you with food and shelter, so naturally you had to do your part for the family!
886
887Even if she was unhappy after her marriage… she could only let out a long sigh. But what this sigh did was to destroy the happiness that a girl had longed for her entire life…
888
889In this era, interest dictated everything! This was the most common tragedy for those with such backgrounds in during this period!
890
891Some people criticized that women always submitted themselves to such pressure, but they had never thought of why did the girl concede? Because her parents were in the family ah…
892
893How can one forget their gratitude to their parents? There were such families in present day China, girls who were leading this sort of life… love, kinship… which was more important? It was a question that would never have an answer…
894
895Guan Qing Han could be said to have the most personal experience of this. Even Miao Xiao Miao; if not for the Spiritual Herbal Gardens and her repute of a prodigy and meeting Mo Jun Ye, she was destined to not be able to escape from such a fate…
896
897And Han Yan Meng. This lass had already became the sacrificial object of this political marriage. It was just that she was more fortunate that her partner was a person she liked… but it was very rare to be as lucky as her…
898
899And even the carefree Dugu Xiao Yi. If she had never met Jun Mo Xie and only remained admiring him from afar, her future marriage was definitely not something she would be able to decide on her own.
900
901Dugu Xiao Yi still used all sorts of methods and ways and put up all sorts of resistance before getting her family's approval of the matter between her and Jun Mo Xie…
902
903On this matter, everyone witnessed Dugu Xiao Yi's willfulness and stubbornness; but who had ever thought if Dugu Xiao Yi had not been this willful and not made such a big fuss so recklessly, then how would it have ended for these two people?
904
905With the impression and attitude the Dugu Family had of Jun Mo Xie and taking into consideration of the political state of Tian Xiang, they would definitely not allow this marriage alliance between the Jun Family and the Dugu Family! Then, with Jun Mo Xie's temper, would he take the initiative to fight for it?
906
907Had Dugu Xiao Yi not relinquished all the reservations of a female, not put in so much effort, only a tragedy awaited her!
908
909So this 'Transformation into Butterflies' had struck the sorest spot of all the women of this era! In fact, the legend of the Butterfly Lovers was a stand the people of the past had against this sort of marriage where they had no way out! Or perhaps, even an extravagant hope!
910
911Even if they could not be husband and wife when they were alive, they also wanted to transform into butterflies and dance together even after death; instead of calling it a beautiful devotion, it was more of a dream one had when they were helpless and in despair. But everyone who was unable to be with the one they loved all hoped for this dream to become a reality…
912
913Lovers finally being together as they wished had always been the most beautiful legend throughout time! The greatest wish! But from ancient times until now, how many pairs of lovers were truly able to do this?
914
915As Guan Qing Han listened, she suddenly remembered Murong Xiu Xiu and Ye Gu Han. Her eyes reddened and her tears began to fall uncontrollably!
916
917Weren't these two people just like the Butterfly Lovers? Or even, they were even less fortunate than the Butterfly Lovers?
918
919If not for Jun Mo Xie, they were destined to not even have their dream of being buried together fulfilled…
920
921That romantic legend, 'I Shall Give Up On the Heavens, But Not On My Beloved' Ah… it's a pity that for that dream to be fulfilled, there was a condition—
922
923That their affinity did not ended in the next life!
924
925Because they know that it was destined that there would be no hope in this lifetime!
926
927So they could only entrust their hopes into the next life… but how obscure was that?
928
929Even Miao Xiao Miao was deeply affected. She was extremely well versed in music, so naturally she had a deeper experience of the entire song…
930
931The song ended!
932
933After a long long while, no one spoke, and only the sounds of repressed sobbing could be heard…
934
935Chapter 1107: I Already Have a Husband...
936
937
938
939The old man was an exceptional assassin himself. But all the orphans he had trained, including Jun Mo Xie himself, the manner, method, and means he employed… was he really training assassins?
940
941Maybe he was, maybe he wasn't. But Jun Mo Xie would never have the opportunity to get the answer to this question anymore…
942
943But he was ultimately firm on one thing: even if they were sick of being an assassin, one day, all those who had gone through the old man's training would be able to live well, no matter which profession they turned into!
944
945That freakish strictness of the old man, that abusive manner of supervision had made all of them learn too many things! And all knowledge was accompanied by unforgettable pain, so even if they wished to forget it, they couldn't. These were all things that had been branded deep into the soul…
946
947When they go out there for real, they'll realize that there were so many things that they are capable of doing, capable of accomplishing well…
948
949In fact, before Jun Xie, there were some seniors who had mentioned to the old man that they didn't want to be an assassin anymore. They wanted to settle down peacefully and lead a normal life. Jun Mo Xie had never found out how the old man settled that bunch of people. And the old man had never brought it up before. But the old man had worn an odd expression back then…
950
951But after a period of time, under Jun Xie's intentional investigation, he realized that all the information on those people, their profile, the missions they had carried out, everything related to their past as an assassin, had all vanished without a trace…
952
953What did this mean? What did it ultimately mean? Was it all completely erased, or were they thoroughly destroyed? But there was one thing for sure—as long as those things no longer existed, there was no one else who would be able to dig out any evidence of their past crimes!
954
955At the very least, they no longer had to live on the edge for their lives!
956
957Jun Mo Xie let out a long sigh. Old man, you, what kind of person are you exactly?…
958
959Then, Jun Mo Xie opened his eyes only to realize the gaze of the seven women were all fixated on him. Even Miao Xiao Miao and Qiao Ying as well… In all their beautiful eyes, were looks of surprise, disbelief, and great admiration…
960
961"Brother Mo Xie…" Dugu Xiao Yi's voice was still quivering as she spoke. "This song is really good… I cried from listening to it…"
962
963"That's right, ah…" All the women began to discuss it enthusiastically. Only Guan Qing Han and Miao Xiao Miao picked up a piece of paper, as if they were trying to record something down. Obviously, they were recording down this 'Transformation into Butterflies'. It was a regrettable matter if a meaningful and beautiful song like this was lost…
964
965"This Liang Shan Bo is really pitiful. It's a pity he doesn't know Xuan cultivation; otherwise, this sort of family like Zhu Ying Tai's would be trying to curry favor him by offering their daughter…"
966
967"He is also really foolish… to not discover that Zhu Ying Tai is a girl when they spent three years together…"
968
969"The most despicable person is still that Ma Wen Cai! Brother Mo Xie, since you knew of this matter, why didn't you kill that Ma Wen Cai? Why should that sort of scum be kept around!"
970
971"That's right! This sort of person truly deserves to die!"
972
973"All in all, Liang Shan Bo and Zhu Ying Tai, this pair of unfortunate couple is the most pitiful. Thankfully they ultimately got to be together. I hope that the Heavens will have pity and let them be husband and wife in all their future lives…"
974
975Even Mei Xue Yan was moved as she let out a long sigh. "Mo Xie, where did you hear this story from? It is really moving."
976
977"Um… I also heard of this story by chance; not many people know of it… It should be something that happened in a very remote place, so it did not spread far…" Jun Mo Xie stammered a reply.
978
979Guan Qing Han added. "As it should be. We may be extremely upset hearing this story. But if this story reached the ears of the influential families, they would definitely criticize the Butterfly Lovers. In their eyes, the ones who are truly disgraceful are the Butterfly Lovers! It is a rarity for this story to have circulated…"
980
981Jun Mo Xie was surprised. He had not expected Guan Qing Han to have this sort of cognition! However, what she said was the truth.
982
983"Manor Lord Jun… is truly impressive!" Miao Xiao Miao looked at Jun Mo Xie, completely convinced. "Your talent is comparable to my husband. You may be slightly inferior, but you've already surpassed plenty of others already…"
984
985Jun Mo Xie did know whether to laugh or cry. This lass truly had high regards of Mo Jun Ye. He had already brought 'The Butterfly Lovers' out, and it was only 'comparable' and 'slightly inferior'… This was too depressing and awkward…
986
987This lass is still being stubborn! Dugu Xiao Yi discreetly clicked her tongue. All the other women had a contented look on their faces. Clearly they had all taken this song 'Transformation into Butterflies' as their victory!
988
989It was obvious. This song was more moving than the Song of the Burial of Flowers, and more touching as well. The only slight imperfection was that it's lyrics were a little inferior… but it was not that far off.
990
991Dugu Xiao Yi was obviously satisfied.
992
993"Sister Qing Han, have you recorded it already? From now on, we can only count on you to play it to hear it already." Dugu Xiao Yi called out.
994
995"Why go through the trouble? Why not just have Manor Lord Jun sing it for you?" Miao Xiao Miao tried to dug Jun Mo Xie's grave deeper.
996
997"Him? Tch! This fellow is so lazy. Aside from when he is chasing skirts of those that he has yet to charm, or occasionally when he is forced into a corner like this today, trying to get him to do anything is even more difficult than trying to ascend to the heavens! I wouldn't dare to have that sort of luxurious hope!" Dugu Xiao Yi grumbled.
998
999Then, Dugu Xiao Yi said mischievously, "Sister Xiao Miao, let me tell you, all men are the same. That husband of yours may have written poems and composed songs for you, hehe, now that you've caved in, I doubt he will compose any songs for you anymore… Only those that have yet to fall into their grasp are worth treasuring…"
1000
1001"No! Jun Ye is not that sort of person!" Miao Xiao Miao replied confidently with a smile. Did you all think that he is the same as your unfaithful Evil Monarch? My Jun Ye is loving, devoted, and loyal…
1002
1003"Hahaha…" Upon hearing this, Dugu Xiao Yi, Ke'er and everyone else burst into giggles.
1004
1005Even Mei Xue Yan and Guan Qing Han couldn't help but break out into a smile.
1006
1007Seeing that Guan Qing Han was almost down recording things down, Mei Xue Yan said. "Alright, let us go outside while you guys stay here. Mo Xie, didn't you have something to speak to Miss Miao about? We shan't bother your discussion!"
1008
1009Then all the women got up and left, Mei Xue Yan remembered to bring Qiao Ying along with them. So instantly, only Jun Mo Xie and Miao Xiao Miao were left alone in the entire room.
1010
1011The women all had an odd look in their eyes when they were leaving, as if they were waiting for a joke to happen. The way Jun Mo Xie looked at Miao Xiao Miao was even more ambiguous…
1012
1013This sort of look had really left Miao Xiao Miao flustered and panicking. As the saying goes, you can't judge a person by his appearance, this Jun Mo Xie may look handsome, but Miao Xiao Miao knew nothing about how he was on the inside. If this person was truly like how Mo Wu Dao described, then what should she do?
1014
1015And in this moment where Miao Xiao Miao was stunned, the entire room was emptied, making Miao Xiao Miao even more flustered.
1016
1017"Jun… Manor Lord Jun… Y-you, what do you want to speak to me about? Can't it be said before all the other Elder sisters?" Miao Xiao Miao's panic was written all over her face. It looked like this lass had already made preparations to just run off anytime.
1018
1019As long as Jun Mo Xie made any action that went beyond his boundaries, this lass would probably dash her way out. At the very least, she would scream 'Help me!'
1020
1021Miao Xiao Miao could not be blamed for being this scared. It was truly because someone's image was a little too notorious!
1022
1023"I only wish to have a chat, haha, no need to be so nervous." Jun Mo Xie was also thinking. How should I breach the topic?
1024
1025"Hm? I… I already have a husband! He loves me very much, and I also love him, I… I won't like anyone else! My husband has the legendary Free and Natural Physique and is very amazing! Y-you… don't you dare try anything!" Upon hearing that he wanted to 'chat', Miao Xiao Miao felt even more afraid. It's our first meaning and you want to 'chat'? What can I chat with you about?!
1026
1027"Cough cough, I know you already have a husband…" Jun Mo Xie thought internally. Your husband is right in front of you, but you can't even recognize him…
1028
1029"I say… Xiao Miao… You…" Jun Mo Xie shook his hands helplessly.
1030
1031"Shut up!" Miao Xiao Miao has already exploded. She yelled with a cold look on her face: "Manor Lord Jun, I respect you, but please don't go overboard! The Evil Monarch Manor is powerful, but the Misty Illusory Manor is definitely not to be messed with! Manor Lord Jun should be more careful when it comes to addressment! Addressing me as 'Xiao Miao' is not something any random person can use!"
1032
1033Her face was cold and stern. When facing this mighty Evil Monarch, she did not hold back and criticized him harshly!
1034
1035"Actually that Mo Jun Ye is also not that good. Let's not talk about his looks, he is merely a Golden Xuan; is there a need to treat him like a treasure? Even if he has that legendary Free and Natural Physique, it'll still take another hundred years for him to reach my current level. Look at me, aren't I more powerful than him? If you don't believe, you can see for yourself…" Jun Mo Xie said shamelessly with a grin.
1036
1037"Manor Lord Jun, do you truly wish to trigger a war between the two sides?" Miao Xiao Miao looked at him icily. "Whether Mo Jun Ye is good or not, what has that got to do with you? Why should my husband be sullied by you like this! I only feel that Manor Lord Jun is too confident. In my eyes, you're nowhere near my Jun Ye!"
1038
1039Jun Mo Xie was completely speechless. It was too awkward. There was no way to continue this conversation! Then, an idea struck him. He looked at the stern Miao Xiao Miao and said softly, "After going through the Heavenly Tribulation, our bodies are so dirty. There is a small pond over there; why don't we wash each other's backs?"
1040
1041It was what Mo Jun Ye had said after Miao Xiao Miao underwent the tribulations!
1042
1043"You lecher!… Ah! You?" Miao Xiao Miao subconsciously began to scold but she immediately noticed something was wrong. She widened her eyes and looked at Jun Mo Xie. This sentence of 'washing each others' backs' was something that she would never forget!
1044
1045Because after this sentence, her virginity was taken away by someone…
1046
1047"En. Heaven as the chessboard, stars as chess pieces. Who is able to play it? The land be the pipa, path be the string, who dares to play?" Jun Mo Xie looked at Miao Xiao Miao and gave a gentle smile. "Thunder as the battle drums, lightning as the flags, who dares to battle?"
1048
1049Miao Xiao Miao's body shook violently as she almost fell to the ground, letting out some incoherent noises as her eyes filled with confusion.
1050
1051Chapter 1108: You're So Cruel!
1052
1053
1054
1055The couplet of 'Heaven as the chessboard, stars as chess pieces' may have been circulated out from the Misty Illusory Manor, but 'thunder as the battle drums, lightning as the flags, who dares to battle' was what Mo Jun Ye had said when the two of them were going through the Heavenly Tribulation. Only the two of them knows it. But Jun Mo Xie had recited it now!
1056
1057How did he know?
1058
1059Could it be that he…
1060
1061"Silly lass, you still couldn't recognize me even until now?" Jun Mo Xie smiled helplessly. "Am I really that hard to recognize?" Then, he rubbed his face a couple of times in front of Miao Xiao Miao. Slowly, his handsome appearance faded away and a plain, ordinary face appeared before Miao Xiao Miao…
1062
1063Mo Jun Ye…
1064
1065Miao Xiao Miao widened her eyes as she stumbled back, panic in her eyes. "You… you are Jun Ye?"
1066
1067Jun Mo Xie chuckled bitterly and nodded his head as he replied softly. "Xiao Miao, it's me."
1068
1069Miao Xiao Miao's body trembled as she fell to the ground… she fainted…
1070
1071Jun Mo Xie quickly caught her in his arms before she hit the ground.
1072
1073After a while, Miao Xiao Miao regained consciousness, but there was still a confused look in her eyes, as if she were in a dream. Suddenly seeing Mu Jun Ye's face before hers, she began to cry out. "Jun Ye, did you know? I had a nightmare just now; I dreamt that that Evil Monarch was lusting after me, and said things that only you and I know about! And not only that, he even turned into your appearance, I'm so scared, I am very scared…"
1074
1075Jun Mo Xie let out a soft sigh and said gently. "Silly lass… You're not dreaming; it is all real."
1076
1077"It's real? It's real? It's real?…" Miao Xiao Miao looked at her lover with a dazed look in her eyes. Suddenly, she struggled out from his arms and slowly took a look at the surroundings. A look of confusion and daze on her face…
1078
1079She turned around and looked at the Jun Mo Xie who was still wearing Mo Jun Ye's face, staring intently at his face. She gritted her teeth and said, "Jun Ye… You tell me, tell me this isn't real! Tell me!"
1080
1081Jun Mo Xie closed his eyes in anguish and replied, "Xiao Miao, this is reality, this is real. I have always been Jun Mo Xie! Mo Jun Ye is just one of my identities, a person who does not exist…"
1082
1083"No! It's not true! This is not real; this is impossible! You're lying to me! You're telling such lies so that you can get me! I will not believe you! I refuse to believe it…"
1084
1085Miao Xiao Miao cried mournfully, staring at Jun Mo Xie, but she was slowly backing away as she shook her head agitatedly. Even so, her eyes betrayed her as tears began to well up in them…
1086
1087The truth is cruel, but it is always the truth!
1088
1089Suddenly, Miao Xiao Miao bumped into a chair behind her. With a bang, she fell onto the ground along with it.
1090
1091With Miao Xiao Miao's Venerable cultivation, even if it were a cliff or a deadly trap behind her, it may not make her fall. But she had fallen in such a pathetic manner. It was obvious that her mind and heart were already in a frenzy.
1092
1093"Xiao Miao…" Jun Mo Xie reached his hand out in hopes of pulling her back up.
1094
1095"Don't touch me! You evil person!You're not allowed to touch me…" Miao Xiao Miao screamed with her might as she stubbornly picked herself off the ground. But her tears continued to fall like pearls as her petite body continued to tremble.
1096
1097"You… You… are Mo Jun Ye? Mo Jun Ye… is Jun Mo Xie? Jun Mo Xie is my Mo Jun Ye?" Miao Xiao Miao laughed bleakly as she looked at Jun Mo Xie, a trace of blood appearing at the corner of her lips.
1098
1099That flash of red completely shocked Jun Mo Xie!
1100
1101"Yes, Xiao Miao, I did not intend to lie to you… I… really am Mo Jun Ye… I…" Jun Mo Xie tried to explain himself. He had already prepared himself mentally for this, but he had not imagined Miao Xiao Miao's reaction to be this great, to be this intense.
1102
1103"Shut up!" Miao Xiao Miao yelled angrily. "You still… don't wish to lie to me? Hahaha…"
1104
1105She laughed bleakly. "You didn't intend to lie to me? How were you planning to lie to me? You've already cheated me of everything; your lies have taken everything… I have nothing left!"
1106
1107Miao Xiao Miao's body quaked violently as she cried out with all her might. "Everything I've had has all taken away by your lies, did you really not know that?! Were you truly unaware? What else do you want to cheat from me?! I have nothing left! But, that's good… I no longer have anything… which means I do not have to fear you trying to cheat me of anything anymore…"
1108
1109Jun Mo Xie suddenly felt as if his heart was being ripped apart, but he had nothing to say for himself.
1110
1111"Jun Ye… No! Jun Mo Xie, did you know, how blissful I am before this?" Miao Xiao Miao's tears flowed along her cheeks, along her lips and slowly dripped onto the ground.
1112
1113But she did not bother wiping it away, just letting it flow and mix with the blood on her mouth as they fall onto the ground…
1114
1115"My Jun Ye… he is not powerful and looks ordinary, but he is the only person that I, Miao Xiao Miao, acknowledge!" Miao Xiao Miao said sorrowfully. "He is the person I love the most! Did you know that? Did you know? I was naive enough to think that he was also the person who loved me most. Turns out I was wrong. This was all a scam! It was a scam from head to tail!
1116
1117"Did you know how proud I was of him? How content I was? It was my greatest bliss to have Jun Ye!" Miao Xiao Miao lamented, a desolate look of happiness on her face. "Jun Ye told me that he already had a wife, but I didn't mind that—I can be a concubine for his sake! As long as I can be with Jun Ye, I do not mind anything!
1118
1119"Jun Ye is gentle and has outstanding knowledge. The moment he appeared in the Misty Illusory Manor, he created the greatest storm with the weakest cultivation! He is my pride! I… I am Mo Jun Ye's wife! I am his woman! Even if he is of lowly status, I am willing!
1120
1121"The Heavens are our blanket, and the Earth is our bed; the wind are the delicacies, and the rain is our wine; the clouds are our wedding decoration, and the mist our witness; the thunder shall be our betrothal gifts, and the lightning the matchmaker! I, Miao Xiao Miao, exchanged vows!" Miao Xiao Miao chuckled desolately. "I presented my body, my feelings, my soul, my everything to the person I love the most!
1122
1123"If there is Mo Jun Ye, Miao Xiao Miao is just an empty shell!" Miao Xiao Miao's face and voice suddenly turned expressionless. "And today, you are telling me that, Mo Jun Ye has never existed in this world…"
1124
1125"Everything was made up. They had never existed. The Free and Natural Physique is imaginary, Mo Jun Ye is imaginary…" Miao Xiao Miao said sorrowfully. "Jun Mo Xie, how can you be this cruel… you've destroyed my dreams! You've destroyed my everything! You're so cruel!
1126
1127"Why must you do this to me! Since you've already lied to me, why don't you continue lying to me? I would rather not know of it forever! Even if Jun Ye doesn't return, he will forever exist in my heart! Why must you be this cruel! You must you expose this scam and destroy my hopes!
1128
1129"You're so cruel, you really are cruel!" Miao Xiao Miao said, as her voice slowly became weak.
1130
1131"Xiao Miao… The Mo Jun Ye in the Misty Illusory Manor, aside from his identity being false, his knowledge, his brains, everything about him his real! That is another me! That is real, ah!" Jun Mo Xie said softly. "Today, I'm giving you the most genuine and real version of me, is it no good?"
1132
1133"Not good! I only love Mo Jun Ye! It has always been Mo Jun Ye! And not Jun Mo Xie!" Miao Xiao Miao looked at him tearfully. "It's you! You killed my Jun Ye! It's you! Who had made my Jun Ye disappear forever…"
1134
1135Miao Xiao Miao's beautifully sorrowful face suddenly turned to one that was filled with resentment. "Jun Mo Xie, Evil Monarch! Do you feel accomplished, toying with a woman like this? Watching a woman's hopes rise, fork out her feelings, virginity, devotion, loyalty and everything, then crushing it all with your own hands! Turning it all into powder! With a turn of your palms, you send this woman to eternal death! That sort of feeling of being in absolute control of everything, was it thrilling? Is it?"
1136
1137She walked forward, step by step, but she did not blink despite the tears in her eyes. A mournful expression on her face.
1138
1139"Enough! Xiao Miao, don't misunderstand my words. Can you calm down? Can you listen to my explanation?" Jun Mo Xie said in distress.
1140
1141"Explain? Fine, I'm waiting for your explanation! If the Evil Monarch wishes to speak, who dares to refuse?" Miao Xiao Miao glared at him. "Since you want to explain, I will listen to your explanation. But, before that, can you please stop insulting my Jun Ye! Don't let the appearance of my most beloved person be hung on the face of a liar like you! Change it! Change it off!"
1142
1143Jun Mo Xie sighed and removed his disguise of Mo Jun Ye and returned to his original appearance.
1144
1145Miao Xiao Miao stared at him, watched that face that belonged to Mo Jun Ye slowly fade away from his face. She was so focused, watching so intently, so reluctant…
1146
1147But so utterly despairing!
1148
1149It was the immense despair of watching her lover leave with her own eyes, but she could do nothing about it!
1150
1151A hopeless despair!
1152
1153Along with the gradual disappearance of Mo Jun Ye's face from Jun Mo Xie's face… her eyes also gradually lost their shine… and turned lifeless and empty…
1154
1155"Jun Ye… don't go…" Miao Xiao Miao cried as she stepped forward, trembling. She stretched her hand out weakly towards Jun Mo Xie's face, her voice full of despair. And as she called out this name, it sounded more like the sound of her heart shattering…
1156
1157Chapter 1109: You're not my Lover!
1158
1159
1160
1161"Xiao Miao! I'm here!" Jun Mo Xie's body jolted as he grabbed her hand.
1162
1163"Do not touch me! You're not worthy of this name, you liar!" Miao Xiao Miao shook his hand off forcefully and cleaned it on her clothes. Then she lowered her head and remained still, until her body stopped trembling.
1164
1165She waited till she stopped trembling before taking two deep breaths.
1166
1167Then, Miao Xiao Miao raised her head and looked at Jun Mo Xie. She smiled and said, "Manor Lord Jun, didn't you want to explain? I'm listening to your explanation!" Her voice had turned extremely calm.
1168
1169But this calmness was as still as death!
1170
1171Jun Mo Xie felt his heart ache.
1172
1173Miao Xiao Miao may look deathly pale and may be smiling, but there was a dull look in her eyes. With the current circumstances, no matter how he explained, she would not listen to any of it!
1174
1175Jun Mo Xie sighed internally and only felt his heart ache.
1176
1177"Xiao Miao, the situation was like this… since I started cultivating Xuan skills, I began to breakthrough at unimaginable speed, I was already a Saint Emperor within a few years time." Jun Mo Xie knew that explaining was useless, but right now, he couldn't not explain himself.
1178
1179As someone who led two lifetimes, he had never felt this guilty!
1180
1181And had never felt that it was this difficult to say something.
1182
1183"When one has significant cultivation, their longevity will naturally be prolonged. But Xiao Yi, Qing Han, and the rest always followed me devotedly! But there problem before us was that…"
1184
1185Jun Mo Xie let out a long sigh. "… I may still be able to maintain my appearance for hundreds and thousands of years without aging, and so can Xue Yan. But everyone else was destined to not be able to do so, because their cultivation would not reach that sort of level. Or rather to say, no one is capable of this. Xuan cultivation can only increase one's lifespan, but it is unable to maintain one's youthful appearance. Even if they cultivate to a Saint Emperor's level like us, they are still subjected to the mercy of time. This problem may not be an issue to us, men, but for women it is…
1186
1187"Xue Yan and I am able to not age due to reasons…" Jun Mo Xie skimped on the details of this part. "To a woman, if they see that their lover and their sister is able to keep their youthful appearance and never age while they have to age along with time, that is undoubtedly an extremely cruel thing!
1188
1189"I did not wish to see them getting hurt in the future and do not wish to lose them… they're my women, so I naturally will want to protect them to the greatest of my abilities!" Jun Mo Xie said. "But there is only one way to resolve the aging of one's looks and boost one's cultivation greatly. That is to consume both the Exquisite Lotus and Seven Colored Holy Fruit at the same time!"
1190
1191"Aside from this, there is no other way!"
1192
1193"And so you set your mind on Heaven Saint Palace and Misty Illusory Manor? For your lovers?!" Miao Xiao Miao said apathetically.
1194
1195"That is the case. In Chrysanthemum City, I battled with the three Holy Lands, and the stakes were the Exquisite Lotus! In the end, they lost, so I went to Heaven Saint Palace according to the bet and obtained the Exquisite Lotus. And you experienced the effects of the Exquisite Lotus I've cultivated earlier.
1196
1197"As to the Seven Colored Holy Fruit, it was even more difficult to obtain. The first challenge was that I had no way to enter the Misty Illusory Manor. So… when I was in Chrysanthemum City, I left a hint of the Free and Natural Physique beforehand…"
1198
1199"Then, you made us of your so-called 'Free and Natural Physique' to cheat Cao Guo Feng's trust! Then set up obstructions along the way so that they would do everything to bring you into Misty Illusory Manor…"
1200
1201Miao Xiao Miao laughed coldly. "Evil Monarch, truly a great scheme! Everyone is toyed in your palms! Before this, I've only heard of the saying 'to produce clouds with one turn of the hand and rain with another'. But Great Manor Lord, you have truly let this lass witness the true meaning of this saying!"
1202
1203"Indeed! I finally got what I wished for and entered Misty Illusory Manor! My original intention was to silently steal the Seven Colored Holy Fruit the moment I found it and leave. After I obtained it, 'Mo Jun Ye' would completely disappear. No one will see the Rainbow Holy Tree that I obtained, so no one will suspect me of it." Jun Mo Xie no longer tried to conceal anything. He just spilled it all out.
1204
1205"But you had never expected that the Rainbow Holy Tree does not exist within the Misty Illusory Manor, but in another independent dimension. So you came up with another plot and set your mind on me?!" Miao Xiao Miao chuckled coldly. "But I have to say, a silly lass like me is truly too easy to deceive. No wonder you would set your aim on me. The facts have proven it. You've succeeded! Your scheme is completely flawless!"
1206
1207"That is not true!" Jun Mo Xie said angrily. "From start to finish, I never thought of making use of you! Since I entered Misty Illusory Manor, to Gu Fei Yu's provocation, then the challenge by the brothers of the Zhan Family, Xiao Miao, when have I made use of you?"
1208
1209"Manor Lord Jun, please don't call me Xiao Miao!" Miao Xiao Miao snapped angrily. "This is an addressment that only my closest kin have the right to use! You're not worthy! You do not have this right!"
1210
1211Jun Mo Xie took a deep breath. "Fine, I shall not call you that! After I've understood the situation, I did everything I could to gain the quota for entering the Spiritual Herbal Gardens. The objective of the battle with the Zhan Family was also for this! I never tried to take advantage of your quota! You wouldn't deny this, would you?"
1212
1213Miao Xiao Miao lifeless eyes turned away as she slowly nodded.
1214
1215"It is just that the ways of the world are too peculiar, and plans will never be faster than changes. When the Zhan Family was defeated, in their unwillingness to admit their defeat, they tried to get rid of me. But you risked your life to save me. I am grateful for it. But I had also made up my mind to maintain a distance from you. Because this sort of feeling… I am unable to carry it… I knew that if I had embarked on this relationship with you, when the truth was revealed, it would only end up like today! I was afraid to take it! And am unable to carry it!
1216
1217"So when you came to find me, I intentionally brought it up that I had a wife to reject you!" Jun Mo Xie squeezed his eyes shut. "I really did not wish to hurt you…
1218
1219"But you… you are too deeply in love, more than I imagined! To fall completely unconscious upon returning home that day…" Jun Mo Xie breathed out in pain. "Your love, your determination, forced me into a path of no return! I couldn't just stand by and watch you fall into eternal slumber! So I chose to save you!
1220
1221"I am indeed the Evil Monarch, with powerful forces and strength, but ultimately, I'm only a man. A gentle, gorgeous and talented beauty like you who is so devotedly in love with me. How could I not be moved? How could I not feel anything? When I made the decision to save you, I treated you as my woman! My, Jun Mo Xie's, woman!"
1222
1223"You may not know… but… my mother, due to my father's unexpected death back then, in her extreme grief, also fell into a deep sleep like you… and she remained asleep for ten whole years… and would rather remain in her dreams than wake up.
1224
1225"My mother's pain and love made me realize that I must not let the same tragedy fall upon you! So no matter what I have to face, I had to wake you up! And keep you by my side!" Jun Mo Xie looked at her firmly and said. "And give you happiness!
1226
1227"Since I have made my decision, I will no longer hesitate or even regret! From that moment on, I never tried to run away with regards to our feelings! Even when I left… until now… my feelings towards you are genuine…"
1228
1229"Is Manor Lord Jun done talking?" Miao Xiao Miao gave an apathetic smile and coldly said. "En? Are you done with your explanation?"
1230
1231Jun Mo Xie knew that she did not listened to much of what he said. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
1232
1233"Perhaps it is just as you said, whatever you've done has a reason that leaves you without a choice! You're good to your wives; for their sake, you can do anything, you can use all sorts of methods just for them to remain eternally young… This is something you should do as a man, as a husband. I understand, and do not blame you for it!
1234
1235"But did it ever occur to you about how many people you've affected with your actions? In the Misty Illusory Manor, Cao Guo Feng and the other Saint Emperors. They placed all their hopes on you. They treat you even more dearly than their own children, yet you have deceived them! From start to end, through and through, you lied to them!
1236
1237"And the elders of the Misty Illusory Manor. They all viewed you as the hope of the Misty Illusory Manor. They completely chose to support you! And you, also deceived all of them.
1238
1239"As to me, you don't need to feel guilty… You did not deceive me!" Miao Xiao Miao laughed desolately. "I am not trying to be sarcastic, I am speaking from my heart. My husband is Mo Jun Ye; he did not lie to me, and he treats me very well. He really did. I am his wife, his woman! It is just that, he no longer exists anymore…"
1240
1241"Mo Jun Ye still exists! I am Mo Jun Ye!" Jun Mo Xie yelled.
1242
1243"No, you're not!" Miao Xiao Miao looked at Jun Mo Xie with clear eyes. "You're Jun Mo Xie! You are only Jun Mo Xie and not my Mo Jun Ye! Although he is just one of your identities, but you cannot replace him! He was born because of you and ceased to exist because of you.. No, how can my Jun Ye be gone? He will live on forever in my heart…"
1244
1245Chapter 1110: I Don't Owe You!
1246
1247
1248
1249Jun Mo Xie was feeling completely drained of strength at this point.
1250
1251"What do you want me to do before you can accept this fact? Just say it! As long as you can say it, I will be able to do it! I will definitely do it!" Jun Mo Xie said in a low voice.
1252
1253"Really? Then, I want my Jun Ye back! I want my husband back! That's the only thing that I want…" Miao Xiao Miao screamed with all her might. "Return Jun Ye to me! Return me my heart! Return it to me! I want my Jun Ye back, I want my husband back, I want my man back! I want to grow old with him, I want to bear children for him, I want to stay with him forever, never parting with him!!"
1254
1255Miao Xiao Miao cried and sobbed heavily. Suddenly rushing up, she grabbed Jun Mo Xie by the collar and roared in his face. "LIAR! Return my Jun Ye to me now! Return me my happiness! Give it back to me, give it back to me!…"
1256
1257She rained her little fists on him repeatedly as tears flowed endlessly down her face, carrying her pain and her despair.
1258
1259Jun Mo Xie stood there unmovingly, each blow feeling as if his heart was being cut by a thousand knives!
1260
1261Even for a person like him who'd lived two lives, he had never felt such a terrible feeling before.
1262
1263He finally understood now.
1264
1265Previously, he thought that he was Mo Jun Ye, and Mo Jun Ye was simply another part of his identity. As long as the two identities were merged back together, everything would be settled.
1266
1267But now, he knew that this was not true!
1268
1269Because the man that Miao Xiao Miao loved was Mo Jun Ye, not Jun Mo Xie!
1270
1271It had never been him!
1272
1273Mo Jun Ye and Jun Mo Xie were two completely different people!
1274
1275They had different personalities, different identities, different looks, and different bearings!
1276
1277The heart of a woman was just like that; since she already had a Mo Jun Ye in her heart, she would naturally be unable to bear a Jun Mo Xie! To suddenly tell her that the two people were actually the same person…
1278
1279Perhaps it would be easy for outsiders to accept it, and some people would even find it to not be a big deal…
1280
1281But for the person involved, it was a completely different concept! Accepting Mo Jun Ye was the equivalent of accepting Jun Mo Xie? No! That was not the same thing! That was like turning one's back on one's lover and go with another! Although putting it like that was somewhat overboard, but it was undoubtedly the truth!
1282
1283If it were Mei Xue Yan, Guan Qing Han, or the others, if someone told them that the Jun Mo Xie they loved had actually never existed, and the real person was actually Mo Jun Ye, they would also be unable to accept it!
1284
1285Miao Xiao Miao was undoubtedly a very traditional girl. She was soft on the outside and hard on the inside. She could be as gentle as water and as fierce as fire at the same time!
1286
1287She definitely could not accept that her sacred love was actually stepped on like that!
1288
1289She was also unable to accept that the lover in her heart had transformed into a completely different person!
1290
1291Using a very unsuitable analogy, one could imagine that a girl was dating Wong Fei Hung[1], but she was suddenly told that she was marrying Jet Li[2]… was that possible?
1292
1293Even though everyone on Earth knew that the character Wong Fei Hung was played by Jet Li.
1294
1295This was an impossible knot to loose!
1296
1297Miao Xiao Miao cried pitifully, until her entire body was completely bereft of strength. Laying on the table, she passed out again… Even as she slept and dreamt, her body twitched from time to time and tears continued flowing from her eyes…
1298
1299To a frail and tender girl like her, this was a huge blow that she could not endure!
1300
1301Jun Mo Xie looked at Miao Xiao Miao sobbing in her sleep, and he only felt as if his heart was being torn apart piece by piece.
1302
1303A moment later, a sound came from the door, and Mei Xue Yan walked in lightly. Looking at Jun Mo Xie, she shook her head lightly. "She… cannot accept it?"
1304
1305Jun Mo Xie nodded bitterly and sighed heavily.
1306
1307"Isn't this a trouble you caused!" Mei Xue Yan sighed and looked at Miao Xiao Miao. "This is a good girl… you must not let her down…"
1308
1309Jun Mo Xie stood up slowly and shook his head in a troubled manner. "How am I trying to let her down? It's just… Xue Yan, tell me… what should I do about this matter?"
1310
1311"Do what you have to do." Mei Xue Yan rolled her eyes at him. "I just never imagined that even after so many things you'd done with her, it's still not enough to…" After saying that, she sighed heavily again.
1312
1313When Miao Xiao Miao first came here, Mei Xue Yan had already discussed this matter with Guan Qing Han. The both of them placed themselves in Miao Xiao Miao's shoes and tried to imagine them in her position. But the more they thought about it, the more complicated this matter seemed. When they saw for themselves how much Miao Xiao Miao loved and protected Mo Jun Ye, they felt even worse.
1314
1315This girl had obviously fallen so deeply in love with Jun Mo Xie's other identity that it was ingrained into her very bones…
1316
1317Thus, Mei Xue Yan had gathered the other girls to put on a show where they were jealous of her, to make things difficult for Jun Mo Xie. They wanted Jun Mo Xie to showcase his talents, slowly reconciling the image of Mo Jun Ye in her heart with his real identity…
1318
1319Dugu Xiao Yi was also there to put in subtle hints for her to pick up…
1320
1321It was better if Miao Xiao Miao could figure the situation out herself and slowly come to terms with it in her heart…
1322
1323If Miao Xiao Miao had even the slightest bit of suspicion that Mo Jun Ye was possibly Jun Mo Xie…
1324
1325It might have been a bit easier for her to accept the situation when the truth was revealed. The girls would all join in and create a light atmosphere, hopefully easing her into the same mindset as them.
1326
1327But who would have thought that Miao Xiao Miao would have complete and utter trust in Mo Jun Ye, to the point where did not hold even the slightest bit of suspicion in her heart. The show that the girls had taken such painstaking effort to put on had only achieved a bit of self entertainment…
1328
1329In the end, it still came down to having Jun Mo Xie reveal the truth himself… in order to not let her feel awkward, Mei Xue Yan had even chased Dugu Xiao Yi and the other curious little lasses far away, and under the supervision of Guan Qing Han.
1330
1331But seeing how things had turned out on this side, Mei Xue Yan also felt somewhat helpless…
1332
1333This was simply too difficult!
1334
1335"I'm afraid this matter is extremely difficult to resolve! At least, it's very difficult for the time being!" Mei Xue Yan looked gently at Miao Xiao Miao and sighed. "Right now, she already hates you to the bone! To use a more extreme example, her current situation would be like if we suddenly received news that you had been killed! It's completely impossible to accept and likely even more serious than that! After all, in that situation, we could still direct our hatred into revenge on your enemies! However, she doesn't even have a target to direct her hatred at.
1336
1337"You have destroyed her Jun Ye and shattered the love in her heart! You are her greatest enemy! But although Jun Mo Xie is not Mo Jun Ye, Mo Jun Ye is ultimately still Jun Mo Xie! She cannot take revenge against the man that she loves the most and can not even face the truth. If I were her, I would be at an utter loss as well. The only thing you can do now is to wait patiently. Only when she thinks things through on her own, can there be a way to resolve the problem. Give her a little more time… right now, anything you do will only have the opposite effect!"
1338
1339"But how long must I wait? I'm worried that she will fall into a coma again like the last time." Jun Mo Xie sighed.
1340
1341"If you only wait, it might be that nothing would change even if the heavens grow old and the earth passes away. If you don't wish to leave any regrets in your heart, you need to try your best to change her! From her deep love for Mo Jun Ye, to a deep love for Jun Mo Xie! Letting your true identity completely eclipse your false identity!"
1342
1343Mei Xue Yan turned her body away and said in a light voice. "This is a very long and difficult process! She is an extremely stubborn and strong girl, and to make her change her heart… is difficult! It is destined to be exceedingly difficult! But no matter how difficult it is, it remains your responsibility! A responsibility that you cannot avoid!
1344
1345"You must do it!" Mei Xue Yan said heavily.
1346
1347"Yes! That is my responsibility to her! I have to do it! And I have to do it well!" Jun Mo Xie's eyes grew resolute.
1348
1349"Go on then, win this lass back right from the start again. If Mo Jun Ye could do it, why can't the Evil Monarch do it? Don't forget, you have a huge advantage, that is… she's already your woman. This matter is difficult to sa, and difficult to do. However, there's still a surefire shortcut." Mei Xue Yan's voice carried a hint of jealousy as she pouted.
1350
1351Miao Xiao Miao is already your woman, but I, the main wife in name, am still a complete virgin! Furthermore, I still have to help him think of ways to woo and obtain the heart of another woman…
1352
1353"What shortcut?" Jun Mo Xie asked anxiously.
1354
1355"How did a person who's so intelligent normally suddenly turn dumb in a moment like this? I've said just now that Mo Jun Ye is Jun Mo Xie, but Jun Mo Xie is not Mo Jun Ye. There's no need to ask her to change her heart that much, discarding Mo Jun Ye away to jump into your arms. You just need to let her understand that the person who made an oath with her,was also you, Jun Mo Xie, and that the two of you were actually the same person! Do you still need me to make this kind of thing so clear for you?" Mei Xue Yan snorted. "You should go and grasp this bit properly yourself."
1356
1357Jun Mo Xie cocked his head, seemingly having some thoughts of his own.
1358
1359"I'll take her to rest first; as for the Misty Illusory Manor's side, settle it yourself!" Mei Xue Yan rolled her eyes unkindly at him.
1360
1361Young Master Jun seemed to have suddenly grown clever as he chuckled. "Xue Yan, are you unhappy in your heart? Seeing her already doing… that with me, while you haven't done… that… keke. If you weren't so conservative and agreed earlier, wouldn't we have already done this and that long ago? Perhaps right now… we might even have… that already… as well…"
1362
1363This fellow was truly strange; he didn't know how to handle Miao Xiao Miao and Dugu Xiao Yi, but towards the one that was supposedly the hardest to handle, Mei Xue Yan, he had all kinds of skills…
1364
1365"Scram! What nonsense are you talking about! This and that… aren't you worried about little sister Miao anymore?" Mei Xue Yan's face instantly turned completely red.
1366
1367From the looks of it, Young Master Jun was only trying to look for some joy in the midst of bitterness. Shrinking his head back, he sighed.
1368
1369Mei Xue Yan carried Miao Xiao Miao up gently and suddenly gasped. "This lass is truly… staunch with moral integrity! This… why is she so hard on herself? Although it is true that Jun Mo Xie is not Mo Jun Ye, but Mo Jun Ye is still Jun Mo Xie ah! Is there a need to be so stubborn…"
1370
1371Jun Wu Yi turned around with shock and saw that there was a large pool of blood on the table where Miao Xiao Miao had laid on. This was definitely not blood that was spat out unconsciously due to pain, but a violent expulsion of blood using her Xuan Qi!
1372
1373Mei Xue Yan sighed and carried Miao Xiao Miao up, only to hear her mumbling in her sleep. "I only want my Jun Ye, I don't want you, I don't owe you anything… the Exquisite Lotus that you've given me, I'll spit it out!… I don't owe you anything…"
1374
1375This girl was actually unyielding to such an extent!

1382
1383
1384
1385Jun Mo Xie felt a tremendous pain in his heart, as if the heavens and the ocean were flipping over. Even with Jun Mo Xie's strong will, he could not help but clutch his chest and collapse back onto the chair.
1386
1387Miao Xiao Miao's words were like an unstoppable bolt of lightning, piercing deeply into his heart! They also seemed to carry the might of lightning as they blasted against his insides!
1388
1389Jun Mo Xie sat stiffly on the chair, not moving at all.
1390
1391Miao Xiao Miao, this lovestruck girl whom he had rejected originally and whom he accepted and loved in the end, had truly impacted him in this moment!
1392
1393The selfless sacrificial love she had shown in the Misty Illusory Manor when he had been attacked, and the heartbreak when he'd rejected her, who sank into an unconscious state because of his rejection, and her, who tried to protect him from the Heavenly Tribulation…
1394
1395Even when she was face to face with the Evil Monarch who shook the entire world, she still did not hesitate to stand by the man she loved, refusing to say even half a word that was bad about him. She did not waver, even in the slightest!
1396
1397It was as if in this lifetime, there was only Mo Jun Ye for her!
1398
1399That was all!
1400
1401This heart of hers was undoubtedly extreme, but it was extreme enough to shake a person's soul to the core!
1402
1403Jun Mo Xie who had lived two lives and transmigrated to Xuan Xuan Continent, had always had a rather smooth sailing journey all along. Even when he met any difficulties, he'd always managed to safely tide through them using his wits and his strength. But the difficult question today was not something he could fix no matter how clever or how domineering his cultivation was. The amazing Jun Mo Xie was completely helpless at this moment.
1404
1405Although Mei Xue Yan had given him a probable direction to work towards, it was still easier said than done. No matter how perfect something sounded on paper, it was still unexecuted yet. It could very well just be wishful thinking on his own part…
1406
1407Before this, he had indeed thought that after he revealed his true identity to her, she may be unhappy for a moment, but she would still come to accept him because of their love!
1408
1409However, he had still neglected the understanding that the one she loved was Mo Jun Ye, not Jun Mo Xie!
1410
1411After the truth was revealed, Jun Mo Xie only became the person who destroyed her love, and the murderer of her husband!
1412
1413Although saying that was a little too much, but it was indeed not far from her current feelings.
1414
1415Jun Mo Xie sighed helplessly watched as Mei Xue Yan carried Miao Xiao Miao away. Standing up, he walked to the window and lingered for a long moment before giving a low command. "Check how the banquet downstairs is proceeding. If everything is almost done, invite the Misty Illusory Manor's three seniors Miao Zhan, Miao Dao and Miao Jian up!
1416
1417Quite clearly, Jun Mo Xie had decided to put an end to this matter in the Evil Monarch Manor.
1418
1419Before his sentence was finished, a report rang out from the outside. "Reporting to Manor Lord, the three Palace Lords of the three Holy Lands are in the guest hall, and they seek the audience of Manor Lord, citing that they have important matters to discuss."
1420
1421Jun Mo Xie furrowed his brows lightly and after a slight pause, he replied. "In that case, tell them to wait there; I'll be along shortly."
1422
1423Although Jun Mo Xie wanted to reveal the matter to Miao Zhan and the others, the short consideration just made him calm down. The current situation could be said to be very awkward. If he made contact with the three seniors of the Miao Family earlier, then while the three of them would undoubtedly be angry about the matter of him infiltrating into the Misty Illusory Manor in disguise, they would definitely not make things difficult for him if he could show enough sincerity and promise to give Miao Xiao Miao the proper status and position by his side.
1424
1425To Miao Xiao Miao, Mo Jun Ye had already disappeared completely because of Jun Mo Xie. But to the Miao Family, or even the rest of the Misty Illusory Manor, Mo Jun Ye and Jun Mo Xie were just two different names. As long as it was still the same person, there would be no problems! This was the reality of the large factions, clans, and families!
1426
1427If Jun Mo Xie chose to conduct the matters in that way, everything would certainly develop very smoothly. There wouldn't even be anything out of place because of it at all. But for this method, the only thing that would be lost was Miao Xiao Miao herself! She would have to bear the heartache of being lied to by her most beloved, and at the same time, face the pain of being sold out by her own family!
1428
1429To the family, even though Miao Xiao Miao was the Miao Family's darling daughter, she was far from being as valuable as an ally like the Evil Monarch Manor.
1430
1431But Jun Mo Xie's feelings towards Miao Xiao Miao were real, and there was no way he could face his woman in that way. Thus, he'd chosen to tell her the truth first.
1432
1433The result was the scene of tragedy before his eyes!
1434
1435If the three old fellows of the Miao Family came to know about Miao Xiao Miao's current state, they would certainly not be polite with him. And with his own emotions being so unstable right now, it was unavoidable for him to be in an irritable mood. If an argument arose between the two sides, it would instead cause the current bad situation to worsen further.
1436
1437Meeting the three Holy Lands's people first and taking the chance to let off some steam was also not a bad idea.
1438
1439Soon, Young Master Jun came into the small guest hall. Only three people were sitting there: Mo Wu Dao, Xi Ruo Chen, and Huyan Ao Bo.
1440
1441To the current Jun Mo Xie, the cultivation level of any of these three Palace Lords were not considered very high. Even if these three joined hands against him, Jun Mo Xie still had absolute confidence of crushing them with a single strike! The fact that they had enough guts to dismiss their guards and sit here facing him alone was already a great demonstration of sincerity.
1442
1443This was undoubtedly a type of gesture!
1444
1445This was the Evil Monarch Manor, and it was also their grand opening day. They trusted that Jun Mo Xie, this Evil Monarch, would not dare to do anything to them. But if they were in their own territories, even if it were in the headquarters of the three Holy Lands, they would not be so sure.
1446
1447To have courage in the opponent's territory, and yet no faith in their own territory, one had to say that this was an incredibly strange concept.
1448
1449"Manor Lord Jun is indeed a young hero of a generation. In just one short year, you'd already changed a regular aristocratic family that was struggling to stay afloat to such a grand state where the world would tremble with every step you take! Although we belong to opposing factions, I still have to admit my admiration!" Mo Wu Dao laughed aloud and said. "If it were me, I could never emulate such a level of success."
1450
1451This was already a very sincere praise that came from his heart. With his status, for him to say such words right from the start meant that this conversation was bound to have a pleasant start!
1452
1453But unfortunately for him, the timing that he had chosen to say these words were too coincidental. Young Master Jun already had a bellyful of anger with nowhere to vent and was in an incredibly bad mood. Rolling his eyes, he chuckled coldly. "You naturally would not be able to emulate it! Because you are Mo Wu Dao, and I am Jun Mo Xie! You do not have the qualifications to compare yourself with me, but it's good that you at least know your own inferiority!"
1454
1455The moment this exceedingly abrasive words came out, Mo Wu Dao nearly spat out a mouthful of blood in anger!
1456
1457He had been awaiting Jun Mo Xie's reply with a full smile hanging on his face from ear to ear.
1458
1459As the saying goes, 'One would receive a peach in return if one hands out a pear'. Mo Wu Dao felt that he had already spoken humby enough and was expecting Jun Mo Xie to return the gesture before bringing the topic to the correct path.
1460
1461Who would have thought that the reply would be so rude! From the looks of it, Mo Wu Dao had failed to kiss up to the horse's ass and had instead planted his kiss on the back of the horse's leg, receiving a vicious kick in the face as a result!
1462
1463There was naturally no need to describe the bitter feeling in his heart!
1464
1465"Manor Lord Jun! The three of us travelled such a long way, not just to celebrate the opening of your Evil Monarch Manor!" Xi Ruo Chen furrowed his brows and said. This sentence was undoubtedly saying that they could have sent any random person if it were just to participate in the opening ceremony. There was no need for the three of them to come in person.
1466
1467And the truth was as such as well.
1468
1469"Oh? So the three of you did not come specially to offer your congratulations? So it was this Seat who had been thinking wishfully! Then, I wonder what you are here for? Could it be that you're here to look for a wife?"
1470
1471Jun Mo Xie's reply had gotten even thornier! The two sides were enemies by right, and there was no possibility of that enmity being resolved. So why should Jun Mo Xie make things easy for them? Not to mention that he had a bellyful of anger; even if he weren't in a bad mood, he would not be polite with them.
1472
1473"This is Tian Fa Forest, so I wonder if the three of you set your eyes on the monkeys or the bears? If you are embarrassed and too shy to speak, I'm still willing to be the matchmaker for you. Taking into account that the three of you came from afar to congratulate the opening of my Manor, I'm willing to help you. Even though my status is high, there's no need to worry. I'm quite easy to talk to!"
1474
1475Seeing him come out like a mad dog biting at everyone he saw, the three of them were incredibly enraged. They had truly never seen a Lord of an area acting like this, without even the slightest demeanor of a proper leader! It was as if they were dealing with an untamed hooligan!
1476
1477The only thing to be thankful about was that there were only the four of them present there. If it was in that reception hall earlier, the three of them would have turned into laughing stocks, with nowhere to put their faces. Who knew how the jokes about them coming to Tian Fa to look for a wife would be spun in the outside world!
1478
1479The three of them knew that if they continued bickering in this direction, it would directly result in a huge, all-out brawl. Huyan Ao Bo scowled and snorted fiercely. "Manor Lord Jun! The three of us came here this time for the sake of the peace of the Xuan Xuan Continent and the people! This conversation will determine the fate of the entire land! To deal with the War for Seizing the Heavens, we need to be of one heart and combine our strengths to pass through this difficult stage! As for the personal enmity between our factions, it wouldn't be too late to put them until after the War for Seizing the Heavens! With the fate of the whole world in front of us, personal grievances can always wait!
1480
1481"Xuan Xuan Continent?! All the lives and the people in this world?! What does that have anything to do with me?" Jun Mo Xie rolled his eyes and asked in an impolite manner. "How is this daddy not part of the people of this world! But when this daddy was being suppressed and pursued all over the world while my family faced death and destruction, why didn't you righteous people step out to protect the people of this world? And now, this daddy's faction has grown strong, and you want me to go and fight and sacrifice for the peace and stability of the people? This daddy actually has such a duty? The world?! What has the world done for me? Why must I serve the world!"
1482
1483Chapter 1112: The Zhan Family Requests an Alliance
1484
1485
1486
1487The three could not help but be stunned. Never would they have thought that Jun Mo Xie would actually utter such cold words! If those words were spread to the outside world, the Evil Monarch Manor would probably turn into the public enemy of the entire pugilistic world or even the entire continent!
1488
1489Normally, the three of them would be ecstatic with joy. They were just worried that they had nothing to use against the Evil Monarch Manor, and Jun Mo Xie had actually handed them such a great gift!
1490
1491However, with the War for Seizing the Heavens so close, they could not afford to lose the battle strength of the Evil Monarch Manor. If the Evil Monarch Manor really announced that they were unwilling to join the war, that would directly equate to a loss on the side of the humans.
1492
1493The three of them looked at each other and instantly understood the meaning behind this. This little thief Jun Mo Xie had most likely lost control of his emotions for some unknown reason and came to look for them to vent his anger. Otherwise, there was no reason for him to go off on them like that. Unfortunately, the timing now was extremely sensitive; otherwise, it would be an excellent time to get rid of the Evil Monarch Manor, given that they had been provided with a perfect and righteous reason. But now, they could only endure helplessly!
1494
1495Today, we've come here looking for this fellow to discuss serious matters. However, it's simply just playing the lute to a cow, and there won't be any results no matter what!
1496
1497If they continued discussing like this, there would really be no turning back, without any possibility of progressing, with the talk completely breaking down!
1498
1499Once the talk broke down, the consequences were not something that anyone could handle!
1500
1501This fellow right now was simply like a keg of explosives which would explode with the slightest trigger!
1502
1503He was even a super huge keg of explosives that if ignited, would definitely end with the death of many people!
1504
1505"Since Manor Lord Jun is in a bad mood today, we will talk about this another day. This matter concerns the lives of the people, and the future of the continent. It cannot be taken lightly!" After saying that, the three of them stood up to leave.
1506
1507"Who said that I'm in a bad mood? My mood is extremely good! Terrifically good!" Jun Mo Xie widened his eyes, and his posture was as if he was about to start killing at anytime.
1508
1509The three pretended that they didn't hear him, taking his words as mere fart. Snorting lightly, they turned around.
1510
1511"You will talk because you want to talk, and leave when you want to? Where is there such a good thing? Let me tell you honestly; after today, this daddy will not have the energy to chatter with the few of you anymore! Talk?! Talk your granny's head!"
1512
1513Young Master Jun had a bellyful of anger and nowhere to vent it. His hands were itchy, and his blood was restless. It was as if he needed to kill a few people to calm his emotions down. Staring vehemently at the three's disappearing backview, he roared after them. It was as if he was saying 'Hurry up and talk back to me ah! If you dare to talk back to me, I will kill you!'
1514
1515Mo Wu Dao and the others' mental strength were truly formidable; pretending that they heard anything, they completely disappeared into the distance.
1516
1517After screaming and shouting for some time, Young Master Jun could be said to have vented a bit of his anger. Sitting down huffily on the table, he started to boil half a pot of tea. Just when he was about to start drinking, he heard a voice outside. "Young Master, Zhan Wu Feng of the Zhan Family from the Misty Illusory Manor seeks an audience!"
1518
1519"Let them in!" Jun Mo Xie banged the teacup on the table and placed his leg on the table in a ruffian-ish manner.
1520
1521"Erm… Manor Lord Jun?" Zhan Wu Feng came in with two Saint Emperors, and the instant they stepped through the door, they saw this Evil Monarch drinking fiercely from his cup and shaking his legs like a common rogue, sitting atop the table as he looked at them. That gaze in his eyes was as if a ferocious lion of the plains had seen three wild rabbits.
1522
1523Eh? Is this person really that same Evil Monarch we saw in the hall? There doesn't seem to be anything similar about him from his demeanor and manner of speaking… it can't be an impersonator, right?
1524
1525"En, experts of the Zhan Family of the Misty Illusory Manor, please sit!" Jun Mo Xie forced a smile onto his face as he greeted. At the same time, he thought in his heart. The lineup from the Misty Illusory Manor seemed to be somewhat odd. It should have been enough for Miao Zhan, Miao Dao and Miao Jian to come. But what are these people of the Zhan Family here for as well? It seems to be a bit redundant to send so many people?
1526
1527Could this be a ploy by Miao Jing Yun, borrowing a knife to kill someone? But they hadn't said anything about it, ah…
1528
1529"Zhan Wu Feng does not dare to claim the title of an expert in front of Manor Lord Jun. This time, we have come here, wishing only to propose a possibility of a cooperation between our two factions." Zhan Wu Feng furrowed his brows, not knowing if he should sit or stand.
1530
1531This Evil Monarch truly had a strange way of receiving his guests. He was sitting atop the table himself… so what were they as the guests supposed to do? It wouldn't be respectful to stand, but if they sat, wouldn't they be sitting beneath him?
1532
1533The two Saint Emperors at the back instantly had looks of rage on their faces! This Jun Mo Xie was truly too rude!
1534
1535"Cooperate?" Jun Mo Xie tilted his head. "What kind of cooperation?"
1536
1537Zhan Wu Feng felt as if he had eaten a fly, and he loosened his collar uncomfortably. He had taken the initiative to seek a cooperation, and this could already be considered giving the other party a great deal of face. Who would have thought that this fellow would behave in such an overbearing manner, as if the Zhan Family were there to suck up to him.
1538
1539Although Zhan Wu Feng had often heard in the Misty Illusory Manor that the Evil Monarch was a rare genius with amazing abilities, it was still far less than what the outside world knew.
1540
1541If one only judged him based on the rumors, there was nothing too shocking.
1542
1543Besides, the people of the Misty Illusory Manor had always held a lofty and arrogant attitude, looking disdainfully at the outside world even the three Holy Lands were not necessarily people that they placed in their eyes. This kind of attitude was especially apparent in the Zhan Family that had always sat among the top of the Misty Illusory Manor.
1544
1545So although Zhan Wu Feng was shocked by the strength of the Evil Monarch Manor, he didn't really place much importance on it. The only thing he took seriously was Jun Mo Xie's age. There was still great room for him to improve and it was convenient for them to borrow his strength. Even if they truly started working together with the Evil Monarch Manor, it was still based on their future strength.
1546
1547If the Evil Monarch Manor became strong one day and managed to thoroughly suppress the three Holy Lands, then they would naturally be a strong ally and would work with them properly. But if the Evil Monarch Manor became disadvantaged in the fight against the three Holy Lands, there was even a possibility of the Zhan Family secretly contacting the Holy Lands instead, helping them to thoroughly destroy this Evil Monarch Manor, and then bringing Jun Mo Xie into the Misty Illusory Manor and turning him into part of the Zhan Family's strength…
1548
1549"The subject of cooperation is naturally about the Xuan Xuan Continent, this large piece of land. In other words, our Zhan Family will use our full strength to assist you to replace the three Holy Lands and sit stably as the hegemon of the continent!" Zhan Wu Feng said lightly. He had full confidence that with such an attractive bait, there was no reason for Jun Mo Xie to reject them!
1550
1551"Oh? The terms are certainly generous to the point where it's difficult for me to decline! But since it's a cooperation, there should be contributions on both sides as well. So what am I expected to contribute?"
1552
1553Jun Mo Xie asked blandly, without a change of expression. "Don't tell me that your Zhan Family had simply found this Seat pleasing to the eye and decided to support this Seat unconditionally to dominate the world, without asking for anything back right?"
1554
1555"Manor Lord Jun's words are indeed right. We naturally have things that we want as well." Zhan Wu Feng looked at Jun Mo Xie's expression and a light smile formed on his face. It was as if he had already managed to see through Jun Mo Xie's heart.
1556
1557"Say it."
1558
1559"It's actually a very simple request. We only need some resources that only the Xuan Xuan Continent has. Manor Lord Jun will only need to be in charge of providing them to us. As these resources… will only be provided to the Zhan Family." Zhan Wu Feng said with a sly grin.
1560
1561"Only to the Zhan Family? You're saying… I can't sell them to the Miao Family?" Jun Mo Xie said with a faint smile. There was an odd meaning in his smile, and he scratched his nose seemingly unconsciously. He stretched out three fingers and placed them under his chin, then put them down immediately again.
1562
1563"It's not just the Miao Family… this is the same for all the other factions in the Misty Illusory Manor! After all, this cooperation is only between the Evil Monarch Manor and my Zhan Family… not the Misty Illusory Manor!
1564
1565Zhan Wu Feng narrowed his eyes and smiled coldly. "I'll put it simply so both of us know what this is about; the Zhan Family will help Manor Lord Jun to dominate Xuan Xuan Continent, while Manor Lord Jun will help the Zhan Family to dominate the Misty Illusory Manor! Basically, that is it!"
1566
1567"So from what you said, your Zhan Family wants to rely on these resources to come out on top against the current lords of the Misty Illusory Manor, the Miao Family. At the same time, monopolizing all the resources will bolster the strength of the Zhan Family in the Misty Illusory Manor, forcing the Miao Family to relent the position of Lord to your Zhan Family as the new controllers of the Misty Illusory Manor?"
1568
1569Jun Mo Xie nodded lightly. "So the resources that you want from this Seat are things that the Misty Illusory Manor does not have, or have very little of. And they are not enough to satisfy the needs of the entire Misty Illusory Manor. These are things that only the Xuan Xuan Continent can provide… am I right? In other words, without these things, the Misty Illusory Manor will not be able to function to a certain extent?"
1570
1571"Indeed!" Zhan Wu Feng had not expected that this youngster's mind would spin this quickly, instantly arriving at the main point.
1572
1573"So, regardless of which family in the Misty Illusory Manor manages to monopolize these resources, they would basically have the strength to become the controllers of the entire Misty Illusory Manor!" Jun Mo Xie's face sunk slightly. "However, my guess is that these resources are not that easy to obtain. Most likely, only people with enough strength will be able to obtain them! Otherwise, there would be no need for you to work with the three Holy Lands at all. Because before this, only the three Holy Lands had enough experts."
1574
1575".... Manor Lord Jun's analysis is exactly on point!" Zhan Wu Feng's eyes started to shrink.
1576
1577Only now did Zhan Wu Feng begin to view Jun Mo Xie's intelligence seriously. This youngster's mind was extremely meticulous, and his judgement was incredibly accurate to the point of being shocking.
1578
1579"It's still a bit early to say that my analysis is completely on point. My guess is that these resources that the Misty Illusory Manor lacks is something that even the most powerful person cannot obtain too much of at one time… En, or perhaps, there are only so many of those resources… or it might be that these resources have special traits or conditions that limits the periods which they can be harvested. This means that there needs to be someone stationed around them for long periods, in order to be ready to harvest the materials at any time. Or maybe it's something that can only be obtained through great effort over an extremely long time. Am I right?"
1580
1581This time, Zhan Wu Feng did not speak and fell completely silent. However, his heart was completely wrecked with heavy waves!
1582
1583This Jun Mo Xie's analytical ability was truly too scary!
1584
1585If those resources were things that could be harvested in great amounts every time, the Misty Illusory Manor could have obtained enough to use for tens of thousands of years in one shot, developing by themselves at will without having to have someone else's hands gripping around their throats. Since they still had to rely on outside help, there had to be some special reasons involved.
1586
1587In that case, there were only two possibilities from Jun Mo Xie's analysis.
1588
1589If this matter was explained through, there was truly nothing to be surprised at. But to be able to make such an analysis in a short time right after hearing it for the first time required an incredibly high level of intelligence and meticulous mind! If even a tiny shred of wit was missing, one's subconscious mind would simply pass over all the details!
1590
1591Chapter 1113: Conspiracy? Just Who is yhe Stupid One?
1592
1593
1594
1595"En, I might have neglected a very important part just now… these resources should also be located in the territories of the three Holy Lands, right?! Since they are important trading resources with the Misty Illusory Manor, the three Holy Lands will definitely be guarding it fiercely and secretively, refusing to let any outsiders enter. Even the people from your Misty Illusory Manor should be no exception. Or rather, they should be the most guarded against you all! So you all can only wait passively for the three Holy Lands to deliver the resources to you, but you cannot go in to retrieve them yourselves, much less try to take them forcefully! Otherwise, your Misty Illusory Manor could just send your own people to get the resources… with the relationship between the three Holy Lands and you guys, why would they not allow that? Right now, their people are harvesting the materials and only providing you with the goods themselves. That means that the three Holy Lands can provide the resources, but the location of the resources is the true secret!
1596
1597"So the most important thing should not be the resources themselves, but the location!"
1598
1599Jun Mo Xie's eyes shone deeply, like a pair of unfathomable lake.
1600
1601"That's… right!" Zhan Wu Feng sucked in a deep breath and nodded heavily. These two short words seemed to be said with great difficulty. At the beginning, he was very relaxed, thinking that he was holding all the chips. No matter how the talk proceeded, he would be holding the initiative. But from just one sentence of his, Jun Mo Xie was able to deduce practically the entire situation. At the same time, his feelings began to grow heavier.
1602
1603To work with this devil-like Evil Monarch whose wit were so high… was that a fortunate thing or a disaster? For such an intelligent person, even if he was to lose in the fight against the three Holy Lands, who would truly be able to control him even if he entered the Zhan Family? Would they be rearing a tiger that would end up devouring them instead?
1604
1605"Since those resources are so important to the Misty Illusory Manor, their locations will definitely be extremely highly regarded places in the three Holy Lands! If I want to obtain those resources and enter an alliance with you, it means that I need to pull the three Holy Lands up by their very roots to succeed! In that case, the positions of both sides would fall into one where both sides would not rest until the other is dead, right?" Jun Mo Xie asked in a deep voice.
1606
1607"That's right!" Zhan Wu Feng nodded as sweat began to form on his forehead.
1608
1609Right now, it seemed that he didn't know how to say any words other than 'that's right'.
1610
1611"With my current strength, we already have the qualifications to stand alongside the three Holy Lands equally. Although the strength of our top experts are not quite there yet, it is still stronger than any one of the three Holy Lands. Even if all things fail, it's still not a problem to come out with a result where both sides are mutually destroyed." Jun Mo Xie continued slowly.
1612
1613"But to have the power is one matter, and completely tearing off all pretenses and declaring war is another matter. Once a war starts, there will be endless battle between the two sides and until one side is completely destroyed, it will not stop! Surely your Zhan Family wouldn't have not thought of this point, right?" Jun Mo Xie's eyes shone brightly as he turned his gaze onto Zhan Wu Feng.
1614
1615His eyes were exceedingly sharp and domineering, causing even Zhan Wu Feng to take one step backwards involuntarily!
1616
1617"Yes! We had naturally considered this point before in detail. In order to display our sincerity, our Zhan Family will send out our full force to support you if the Evil Monarch Manor and the three Holy Lands truly go to war. I believe that this should be enough to show you our sincerity?" Zhan Wu Feng sucked in a deep breath of air and said.
1618
1619"Your sincerity? If war happens, my Evil Monarch Manor and Tian Fa Forest would join hands, and assuming that we went all out from the beginning, disregarding all losses, we would be able to completely decimate any one of the three Holy Lands in a very short time! In fact, we would even be able to cause heavy damage to a second Holy Land! But by the time we get to the third Holy Land, the Heaven Saint Palace will definitely come out to stop us. They might not be able to react in time to save the first and second Holy Lands, but no matter how fast we move, the most that we can take down would only be two out of the three Holy Lands! Once the Heaven Saint Palace gets involved, we would not have any chances of winning even if we used our fullpower!"
1620
1621Jun Mo Xie's face turned cold.
1622
1623"But at that stage, both sides can no longer just stop! If a legacy of over 10,000 years has been destroyed, no one would be able to bear it! That kind of hatred would already be enough for both sides to not be able to share the same sky! Moreover, many promising juniors would have been killed. The Heaven Saint Palace are people with saintly hearts, so how would they be able to accept that kind of ending? Only death would be able to resolve this situation. If they attacked with their full force, even with the strength of my Evil Monarch Manor, it would be difficult to even perish together with them! The most likely result would be that they would be heavily wounded, and us, along with Tian Fa Forest, would be completely annihilated!"
1624
1625"There are too few peak level experts in our Evil Monarch Manor, and compared to those thousands of years old ancient monsters in the Heaven Saint Palace, there is still a considerable power gap. That is simply the accumulation of countless years!"
1626
1627"I trust that… you all should have considered such a result as well, right? Or perhaps, this was the basis behind your entire plan?" Jun Mo Xie looked at Zhan Wu Feng with an 'interesting' gaze.
1628
1629"This… how is that possible? I've already said clearly just now that the instant a war breaks out, we would pour our full force to support you! We will not sit by at the side! After all, this is the basis between the cooperation of our two sides!" Zhan Wu Feng took two steps backwards and denied instantly.
1630
1631"But I'm quite sure that you all would definitely not show your forces the instant the war begins." Jun Mo Xie wagged his finger lightly and smiled. "There's no need to deny it. I wouldn't believe you even if you tried to deny.
1632
1633"Perhaps you wouldn't simply sit by and watch the tigers bite each other to death, but you would wait until the very last moment before charging out! With a force as strong as thunder, you would end the war with a mighty stroke, flattening both Tian Fa Forest and the Evil Monarch Manor and also destroying the three Holy Lands! In fact, you might even take the opportunity to flush out the heavily crippled Heaven Saint Palace! At that time, I believe that there would no longer be any superpowers in the entire Xuan Xuan Continent to contend with your Zhan Family! Just like that, the Zhan Family will dominate the Xuan Xuan Continent!
1634
1635"Please don't say that I'm using the yardstick of a base person to measure the motives of the upright. I will think that you are insulting my intelligence. And please don't say that you don't have any such plans. Because if you say that, I will think that your entire Zhan Family is full of retards!"
1636
1637Zhan Wu Feng was about to say something, but his words were instantly shoved right back down his throat by Jun Mo Xie. "Since the entire Xuan Xuan Continent is already in your hands, those precious resources would also naturally fall into the hands of your Zhan Family! At that time, your Zhan Family could behave as you wished in the Misty Illusory Manor as well! Both the inner and outer world would then be in control of your Zhan Family! So your Zhan Family's ultimate motive is to be the greatest winner at the end of the day! If you proceeded according to this plan, there's a very large chance of you succeeding… at least an 80 percent chance!"
1638
1639Zhan Wu Feng was completely stunned speechless!
1640
1641Because even he had not thought this far himself! He only knew a portion of the plan himself, and as for how it would proceed, it had been left to Zhan Lun Hui and Zhan Wu Yun.
1642
1643But looking at the overall situation right now, if the Zhan Family didn't move according to the plan that Jun Mo Xie had said just now, they would really be a family of retards…
1644
1645Who wouldn't want to capitalize such a huge, free advantage? Whoever didn't want to do that would instead be dumb.
1646
1647Moreover, Zhan Wu Feng knew that his family definitely understood things like this much better, and they were definitely capable of doing such a thing.
1648
1649"But… we had truly come here this time sincerely to propose an alliance with Lord Jun! If Lord Jun is suspicious about our intentions, you can raise your conditions, and our Zhan Family will do our best to accommodate the Evil Monarch Manor! Right now, the state of things is already very clear; Lord Jun's side and the three Holy Lands is already at an irreconcilable state, and in the Misty Illusory Manor, the Miao Family's influence is more skewed towards continuing their cooperative relationship with the three Holy Lands. At best, they would only remain at a neutral stance. However, only our Zhan Family can truly stand on the side of the Evil Monarch Manor."
1650
1651Zhan Wu Feng said seriously. His arrogance from before had already disappeared without a trace long ago. However, his mental strength was still resolute, still managing to continue the discussion even like this.
1652
1653"En, those words are indeed right… since your Zhan Family is sincere in a proper alliance… let me think about it properly…" Jun Mo Xie twiddled his fingers and rapped his forehead a little. Narrowing his eyes, he said. "Oh, I understand. Your Zhan Family might really be sincere in working with me. However, this sincerity might only be limited to me alone, and not the entire Evil Monarch Manor! Isn't that right?"
1654
1655Zhan Wu Feng instantly felt cold sweat pouring out of his forehead. His back was also drenched, and his shirt stuck closely to his skin. As the cold wind blew through the window, he only felt a deep chill in his soul.
1656
1657"But why would you want to work with me? Because… you want to deal with the Miao Family!" Jun Mo Xie raised his head and said. At this time, he finally managed to guess the Zhan Family's intentions.
1658
1659"That… is ludicrous! Can the internal matters of our Misty Illusory Manor concern Lord Jun!" Zhan Wu Feng denied. "Where did those words of Lord Jun's come from?"
1660
1661"Is it truly ludicrous? Is it really not my concern? I'm still very young ah… and I'm only a few years older than that Free and Natural Physique kid you have at the Misty Illusory Manor! However, my cultivation is 10,000 times stronger than his!"
1662
1663Upon hearing the four words 'Free and Natural Physique', Zhan Wu Feng's face instantly paled. Widening his eyes with shock, he stared at Jun Mo Xie as if he were looking at a demon!
1664
1665Jun Mo Xie laughed mockingly. "The cultivation speed of the Free and Natural Physique is undoubtedly incomparable, far beyond the imagination of normal people. If the other families of the Misty Illusory Manor could endure for a time until the Free and Natural Physique kid grows up, they would definitely be able to seize the controlling rights back from the Zhan Family's hands with ease, even if you manage to gain control over the Misty Illusory Manor. And because of this, if the other families feels threatened, they would probably choose to cede control first, handing the Zhan Family a complete Misty Illusory Manor, whilst looking forward to the day when they can seize back a complete Misty Illusory Manor!
1666
1667"But if the Zhan Family has me with them to suppress that Free and Natural Physique prodigy, the latter would not be able to make a comeback no matter how long it takes! That way, it's the equivalence of dashing all the hopes of the remaining seven large families!" As Jun Mo Xie spoke to here, he furrowed his brows and shook his head. "No, wait… if that were true, the seven families would most probably join hands to make a full force counter attack immediately. With seven against one, the Zhan Family would instead suffer greatly…"
1668
1669Chapter 1114: I'm Not the Only One Who Knows.
1670
1671
1672
1673"Exactly… why would our Zhan Family do something so stupid?" Zhan Wu Feng's heart was already trembling.
1674
1675"Ah, I've got it! So that's how it is!" Jun Mo Xie ignored Zhan Wu Feng and thought for some time before suddenly clapping his hands loudly. "So that is why you all raised those kinds of conditions earlier, even promising to support me. If the situation became such that the Heaven Saint Palace and my side are both badly hurt, you will definitely use your best efforts to save my life! But at the same time, you will declare to the outside world that Jun Mo Xie is already dead… This way, everything will be fine, and the concerns of all sides will disappear completely. As the other seven families have the Free and Natural Physique prodigy with them, they would naturally choose to take a step back for the time being, and bide their time as they wait for an opportunity to strike back.
1676
1677"And that way, all the objectives of your Zhan Family will be safely met, and you could develop in peace and accumulate your strength. With me to hold off against that prodigy with the Free and Natural Physique, everything will be within the palms of your hands!"
1678
1679Jun Mo Xie smiled faintly and nodded. "That is indeed a formidable plan, with one facet linking perfectly to the next. First, you will throw out the ultimate bait of complete hegemony over the Xuan Xuan Continent, making me fall into the trap. As long as I take the first step out, everything will fall into place seamlessly! Even if I realized the whole scheme later on, it would be impossible to turn back any further, until I'm finally taken in by the Misty Illusory Manor and used by your Zhan Family!
1680
1681"Naturally, all my followers, my family, and even the Xuan Beasts of Tian Fa Forest in the outside world needs to be completely dead, so that it will be easier for you to control the entire continent! Even if I saw through this point in the end, I will still need to behave obediently towards your Zhan Family since I'm relying on you!"
1682
1683Jun Mo Xie laughed and clapped his hands as he sighed with heartfelt admiration. "Your Zhan Family is indeed a family of geniuses! Such an intricate scheme is truly amazing, especially the person who came up with the idea of swooping in and gobbling up two injured tigers! That person is undoubtedly a genius among geniuses! Even this Seat cannot help but be impressed with him! If I had taken just a single wrong step, there won't be any chances of turning back."
1684
1685"Manor Lord Jun has surely gone too far in your imagination…" Zhan Wu Feng could hear the sweat on his forehead rolling off and dripping onto the ground. "If the Heaven Saint Palace uses its true force, our Zhan Family would not necessarily be able to deal with them even if we used our full strength. What more, thinking of safely rescuing Manor Lord Jun from their hands? Manor Lord Jun's words have truly overestimated us too much. Although our Zhan Family doesn't think of ourselves as weak, we are also not that wildly arrogant…"
1686
1687"No no no… you could definitely do it." Jun Mo Xie stretched out a finger and wagged it lightly. "Because in this scenario, you can watch the Evil Monarch Manor and the Tian Fa Forest's forces be completely decimated, but you will definitely not simply look on as such a valuable person like me was finished. Thus, you would definitely try to save me! And to do that, your Zhan Family only needs to send out a single person, and you would be able to accomplish that perfectly. I believe that that person's shocking strength is something that even the strongest experts of the Heaven Saint Palace would not be able to match! As long as that person takes action personally, it would not be a difficult thing to take me away.
1688
1689"Lord Jun jests; our Zhan Family does not have this person whom you mentioned!" Zhan Wu Feng stubbornly hung on. At this moment, he felt that his throat was already completely dry, and his heart was beating exceptionally quickly. The Zhan Family indeed had a person like that, but that was also the greatest secret of the Zhan Family, and only the core members of the family had the qualifications to know about this secret! If Jun Mo Xie had managed to guess this through his analysis as well, that would be too terrifying!
1690
1691But how would Zhan Wu Feng have known that Young Master Jun had not simply guessed the existence of this person… he had even seen that person before!
1692
1693"Zhan Wu Feng… are you sure that you, as the blood brother of the family head, doesn't know if your Zhan Family has such a person?" Jun Mo Xie said with a mysterious smile. "Should I give you a little reminder?"
1694
1695"Manor Lord Jun would have to spell this out clearly for this Zhan then!" A look of complete innocence, anger, and wronged expression appeared on his Zhan Wu Feng's face. "This Zhan completely doesn't know what Manor Lord Jun is saying about schemes and plots! Our Zhan Family would never do something as despicable as that! This time, we came here with utmost sincerity. But Manor Lord Jun's words are simply an insult to us!"
1696
1697"To be insulted is still better than losing your lives! At this point, do you think that I'm just trying to scare you? Unfortunately for you, I truly am aware of that person's existence, and his identity as well! Zhan Wu Feng, you'd best consider carefully; the moment I say that person's name, none of the people who came here from your Zhan Family will have the chance to return alive! Zhan Wu Feng, think this through properly! Our next few words will decide your life and death. This is not a joke; think thoroughly and carefully." Jun Mo Xie said with a faint smile as a sharp killing intent rose from his body.
1698
1699The sweat on Zhan Wu Feng's forehead had become the size of beans, dripping loudly onto the ground!
1700
1701"Life is precious and also fair! Everyone only gets one life, with no exceptions." Jun Mo Xie hooked his legs in a roguish manner and said in a casual manner. But although he looked relaxed, he seemed like a sharp sword, poised and ready to draw blood!
1702
1703His words were light and sounded like taunting, but it was also laced with a decisive killing intent, saying: "A man can regret anything in this life, except for the decisions that led to his death!"
1704
1705Zhan Wu Feng's body started to tremble lightly. Every word that Jun Mo Xie said was smashing onto his heart like a heavy hammer, forcing him step by step onto the path that determined life and death!
1706
1707Apart from the core members of the Zhan Family, not even the people within the Misty Illusory Manor knew about Zhan Lun Hui's existence. Jun Mo Xie was located all the way in the Tian Nan mainland, so how would he know about that? He must be trying to trick me! If not, why would he need to keep holding the suspense like this? As long as I dare to make this gamble and prove the sincerity of the Zhan Family, we would be able to control Jun Mo Xie, the Evil Monarch Manor, and Tian Fa Forest!
1708
1709The Zhan Family would be able to last for endless generations to come!
1710
1711And I, Zhan Wu Feng, would be the greatest hero of the Zhan Family!
1712
1713But if Jun Mo Xie truly spoke out Zhan Lun Hui's name, then what awaited him was only the word: Death!
1714
1715This choice looked simple on the surface, but it was actually exceeding difficult!
1716
1717Because the stakes in this gamble was his own life!
1718
1719Judging by the killing intent in Jun Mo Xie's eyes, he was sure that this Evil Monarch definitely dared to kill him!
1720
1721This was a person who dared to challenge the entire three Holy Lands all by himself! For a Saint Venerable, why would he not dare to kill a mere him? No matter how powerful the Zhan Family is, they were no match for the influence of the three Holy Lands combined! As for their strength, it was far from being comparable!
1722
1723As the pressure Jun Mo Xie mounted, the two Saint Emperors behind him also gripped their swords nervously. Their palms were already slippery with sweat.
1724
1725Jun Mo Xie's aura was already enough to cause them to not dare to move a single hair!
1726
1727But Zhan Wu Yun who was standing in front of them didn't seem to have felt it! Because it was already sufficient for him to feel the fear inside his heart! If the two behind him was as nervous as him, they would be even more paralyzed!
1728
1729"Seniors of the Zhan Family, have you finished your considerations?" Jun Mo Xie looked warmly at him:."I'm actually a rather impatient person, especially when I'm dealing with people who are trying to scheme against me."
1730
1731"We've finished considering! May Manor Lord Jun please spell out for us just who the shocking expert is that could contend even against the experts of the Heaven Saint Palace and pop in to take a person away with ease.
1732
1733Zhan Wu Feng sucked in a deep breath of air as his gaze turned heated. "If Manor Lord Jun is unable to name the person, that means that all the conjectures earlier were baseless, and it proves the sincerity of our Zhan Family to cooperate with you, and our arrangement shall stand effective!"
1734
1735"Among the juniors of the Zhan Family, there's a very outstanding youth. I'm naturally not referring to Zhan Qing Feng or Zhan Yu Shu ,those youngsters, so Senior doesn't need to deny it too anxiously!" Jun Mo Xie's eyes turned cold and emotionless as he continued. "According to the legends, the Nine Nether First Young Master once had four personal disciples, and the youngest of which is called Miao Qing Cheng, the founder of the Misty Illusory Manor…
1736
1737"And Miao Qing Cheng also accepted eight personal disciples in the Misty Illusory Manor, who are now the ancestors of the eight great families of the Misty Illusory Manor! Among them, there was one with the surname Zhan… I don't have much interest in the previous name of this person, but I know that this person is a true monster to still be alive after so much time… Brother Zhan, do you know who I'm talking about?"
1738
1739Zhan Wu Feng's entire body suddenly became as cold as ice!
1740
1741"I heard that that old bastard has an extremely perverted nature; in order to escape the tribulations of death, he would choose a descendant with good potential every few hundred or thousands of years and occupy that descendant's body so that he could continue living. Such an old bastard, I truly wonder what your Zhan Family is protecting him for." Jun Mo Xie laughed coldly and continued. "But what left the deepest impression on me is that this person is not only not embarrassed to be taking the lives of his own descendants, he even takes pride in it. Thinking that even the wheels of samsara cannot do anything to him, he actually gave himself a new name, calling himself 'Zhan Lun Hui'[1].
1742
1743"Kekeke, this person truly does not know the meaning of death! Reincarnation is the Dao of the heavens, and he's just a soul that barely managed to survive its tribulation. To think that he had the face to say he's battling against reincarnation? How preposterous!" Jun Mo Xie's eyes were already filled with killing intent.
1744
1745"Senior Zhan Wu Feng, I've already finished with my words. And you… can also go on your way now." Jun Mo Xie shook his legs and sneered. "Go ahead and tread the path that your old ancestor declared to be able to contend with: reincarnation!"
1746
1747"You! That is impossible! How did you know?" Zhan Wu Feng screamed with fear and desperation.
1748
1749The moment he heard the three words Zhan Lun Hui, he knew that he was finished!
1750
1751Because the other party was absolutely right!
1752
1753Even the things that he had been privy to was inferior to the things that Jun Mo Xie had reduced himself from just a single sentence. This should be the true plan that Zhan Lun Hui had laid out!
1754
1755"It doesn't matter how I found out, but the most important thing is… I'm not the only one who knows now." Jun Mo Xie chuckled. "Three Seniors, have you heard everything clearly?"
1756
1757"We have! Right now, we also understand this matter perfectly as well! This is all thanks to Manor Lord Jun!" As those words rang out, Miao Zhan, Miao Dao, and Miao Jian suddenly materialized outside the room. At the same time, three pairs of eyes filled with killing intent turned onto the three from the Zhan Family, piercing coldly onto their backs!
1758
1759[1] Zhan means battle, and Lun Hui means reincarnation. So basically, this name means fighting/battling against reincarnation.
1760
1761Chapter 1115: Because I am Mo Jun Ye!
1762
1763
1764
1765When Jun Mo Xie heard Zhan Wu Feng mention cooperation, he secretly gave the signal for someone to bring Miao Zhan and the rest over.
1766
1767This was the Zhan Family's ploy which was mainly targeted against the Miao Family.
1768
1769Evil Monarch Manor had an important role in the success of the Zhan Family's plans. The Miao Family was their real targets.
1770
1771Since Jun Mo Xie had done so much for the Miao Family before, and Young Master Jun had never been an altruist, how could he willingly resign himself to be a nameless hero? So naturally, he must have the three higher-ups of the Miao Family come over and listen to the conversation…
1772
1773Especially at a crucial time like this where he was the object of Miao Xiao Miao's hatred. He needed support from the Miao Family. And since there was such a good bargaining chip available, why would he not use it! Young Master Jun would make use of every single bit of it and attack from all angles. Then spread his nets everywhere to reap the greatest benefits!
1774
1775The Zhan Family had definitely not miscalculated in their schemes that had led to this current situation. But it was just that they had chosen the wrong person. To choose someone who would absolutely not become an enemy of the Miao Family. It was truly too tragic!
1776
1777Also, Young Master Jun currently needed an opportunity to reconcile the relationship with the Miao Family. And coincidentally, the Zhan Family offered themselves up. It was truly bad luck on Zhan Wu Feng's part. Had it been any other time, perhaps Jun Mo Xie would consider going along with their flow for a couple of days to catch a bigger fish. But right now, he was in a rush, so he could only treat them like a huge gift…
1778
1779It was really not poor planning. It was just that the Zhan family's luck is really too poor!
1780
1781"Zhan Wu Feng! The Zhan Family is really insatiable ah." Miao Zhan looked at Zhan Wu Feng coldly and said, "For the sake of the Zhan Family monopolizing Misty Illusory Manor, you're willing to trigger an endless war between the Evil Monarch Manor, Tian Fa Forest, and the three Holy Lands. Did you not know that these five existences are already all the superpowers of the Xuan Xuan Continent, and the moment they're destroyed, it is equivalent to the destruction of the Xuan Xuan Continent? There are no longer any forces that will be able to stop the strange races. And you are thinking of using this terrifying price to exchange for the glory of the Zhan Family!"
1782
1783As Miao Zhan continued to speak, his voice was filled with grief and indignation. "This sort of inhumane, malicious, and vicious scheme. How did you all come up with it! Did you not think of the consequences? Clever? Clever my foot!"
1784
1785Zhan Wu Feng turned around and looked at Miao Zhan coldly. Right now, his hopes were all gone. Before coming, he had even thought about what would happen if Jun Mo Xie refused. But the worst outcome would just be that they continued on their own ways. But he had never expected Jun Mo Xie to be this ruthless!
1786
1787To just sell the Zhan Family out completely like this!
1788
1789Right now, the three of them only had the cultivation of a Saint Emperor. There were three Saint Venerables blocking them from behind, and there was an Evil Monarch in the front! There was no hope at all. Not even the smallest chance of escaping!
1790
1791It was all futile and hopeless now.
1792
1793So Zhan Wu Feng steeled his heart and coldly said, "Every dog has its day; the ruling power of the Misty Illusory Manor has never belonged to the Miao Family only. Why is it that you guys are the ones who are in power for such a long time?"
1794
1795"The reason is simple! It is because the Miao Family always considers the sake of the Misty Illusory Manor in its rule! For ten thousands of years, under the rule of the Miao Family, the Misty Illusory Manor has always been the empire that is shared by the eight families. But the Zhan Family only has consideration for their selfish desires!If you guys really succeeded, it would only turn the entire Misty Illusory Manor into the empire of the Zhan Family! This is the greatest difference!" Miao Zhan scoffed coldly. "Zhan Wu Feng, ambitions and fairness has never been able to exist together!"
1796
1797"What ambitions! What fairness! It is just that you are surnamed Miao, and we are surnamed Zhan!" Zhan Wu Feng laughed maniacally, as if he had gone insane.
1798
1799Jun Mo Xie furrowed his brows, as if finding the sounds of his laughter displeasing. He lightly shook his head and rose into the air. "What is there to talk about with this sort of scum. The sooner we kill him, the sooner we are done!" Since the Miao Family had already heard it with their own ears, then why would Jun Mo Xie still continue to blabber nonsense with someone like this.
1800
1801He had just finished his words when his foot stepped right on Zhan Wu Feng's head!
1802
1803Zhan Wu Feng cried out tragically, his skull splitting apart instantly!
1804
1805He had not the slightest resistance against Jun Mo Xie's attack!
1806
1807Because he clearly knew that there was no use in trying to fight back with his own strength when facing four Saint Venerable experts. He would only be seeking for his own humiliation. He might as well just give up and accept his fate. At the very least, the torture of this nightmare can end earlier!
1808
1809As he fell over, a long sigh escaped from Zhan Wu Feng's throat.
1810
1811Because he knew that the matter today would not only mean the complete destruction of the Zhan Family's intricate plans, the other seven families would view them as enemies now!
1812
1813And he and those who had come with him… would not even be able to bring the news back…
1814
1815The Zhan Family is done for!
1816
1817The two Saint Emperors behind Zhan Wu Feng drew their swords and charged forward at the same time upon seeing this. Miao Dao and Miao Jian were about to intervene, but Miao Zhan shook his head slightly to stop both of them from interfering.
1818
1819At the moment, Jun Mo Xie rose, Miao Zhan noticed the almost crazed killing intent in Jun Mo Xie's eyes! He did not strike to kill the enemy! But for the sake of venting! Venting the anger, pent-up frustration, and irritation in his heart!
1820
1821Although Miao Zhan didn't know why this Evil Monarch suddenly committed this sort of violent act, but he knew that it was definitely because something, or someone, had offended him, which led to his tyrannical, blood-thirsty actions!
1822
1823Under this sort of circumstances, if they intervened, not only would it not be of help, it would only cause him to be dissatisfied for being unable to vent it all out completely.
1824
1825Whereas there was another benefit of standing by and watching. They could also take this opportunity to see the prowess of this Evil Monarch!
1826
1827The next moment, the three Saint Venerable widened their eyes simultaneously.
1828
1829The two Saint Emperors had barely drawn their swords when Jun Mo Xie had already flown at them. His palms pushed forward and two mighty invisible forces hammered down on the back of their hands!
1830
1831The duo groaned and stumbled backwards, but Jun Mo Xie had already appeared above their heads. His elbow struck at the back of one of them, while his other hand went hitting down on the other person's head!
1832
1833Pa! This Saint Emperor's entire skull was sent right into his chest. Then, sounds of cracking could be heard from his belly as fresh blood spurted out.
1834
1835Yet the moment the blood left the body, Jun Mo Xie sent it flying right back into the belly. The two Saint Emperors did not have the slightest chance of fighting back when he was attacking at full force!
1836
1837Then, three balls of black flames appeared out of nowhere and slowly landed on the bodies of these three people.
1838
1839It did not take long for the black flames to vanish again. The floor was completely clean, as if nothing had happened. There was no corpse, no fresh blood stains, and not even the slightest weird odor left! As if Zhan Wu Feng and the duo did not die in here at all!
1840
1841Under the burning of that black flame, not even the slightest trace of the bodies of the three Saint Emperors were left!
1842
1843Vanishing without a trace? Disappearing from the surface of the earth?
1844
1845What sort of method is this?! This is a little too terrifying!
1846
1847Miao Zhan, Miao Dao, and Miao Jian were horrified.
1848
1849Seeing that the three of them were observing him cautiously. Jun Mo Xie was slightly confused and asked, "Why aren't you three seniors coming in to take a seat?"
1850
1851"Lord Jun is young and highly skilled, but you may be inexperienced. Saint Emperor experts are able to produce Spirit Seeds! We have to be on alert!" Miao Zhan said solemnly. "If their Spirit Seeds escapes, then our gains today will be lost, and the entire Misty Illusory Manor will be in chaos."
1852
1853"Haha, you're all overly worried. There are only perished souls in my hands; how can there be any Spirit Seeds left!" Jun Mo Xie chuckled. "Rest assured! This Seat may not have destroyed a number of Spirit Seeds, but there have been five or six at least. Please, please, take a seat!"
1854
1855All three of them sucked in a cold breath of air.
1856
1857To think that Jun Mo Xie was this ruthless and resolute in his killing! Completely destroying souls the moment he killed! Even a Saint Venerable expert may not have the opportunity to kill a Spirit Seed in his entire life. He was so young, but he had already killed so many Spirit Seeds!
1858
1859Doesn't this go to say that there are at least five or six Saint Emperors or Saint Venerables that have died in his hands? Someone like this… how many can there be in the world?
1860
1861The trio looked at the clean floor, then at Jun Mo Xie's face at the same time with great caution in their eyes! This person must not be made an enemy! The moment he is an enemy, there will never be a day of peace!
1862
1863After a long while, Miao Zhan looked at Jun Mo Xie and asked, "But I wonder why Manor Lord Jun would do this? Revealing the Zhan Family's schemes in our faces, then executing these three people on the spot. I believe there must be some sort of significance to this?"
1864
1865Jun Mo Xie's expression did not change. He only walked over to the main seat and gently clapped his hands for tea to be served. "What intentions… does Senior Miao Zhan think I have?"
1866
1867He had just killed someone here in the most ruthless method, then serving important guests in the same place… and he had killed those people in front of these important guests… this was extremely impolite.
1868
1869Jun Mo Xie seemed to have neglected this fact. But Miao Zhan and the rest were also not bothered by it, sitting down just like that.
1870
1871"Your intentions…" Miao Zhan pondered as he spoke, "But Manor Lord Jun, the Misty Illusory Manor has always only cooperated with the one who is in greatest control of the continent. Your sincerity in seeking to cooperate with the Misty Illusory Manor is great enough, but… it will have to wait until after you are truly in full control. Right now, this old man is really unable to make any promises to you! I hope Manor Lord Jun can understand!"
1872
1873"Cooperation… I also do not wish to cooperate with you for now!" Jun Mo Xie said indifferently. "It has always been the other part approaching me for cooperation, like Zhan Wu Feng today. I have never initiated any sort of cooperation with anyone. And even if you are seeking for a cooperation, it will depend on my mood! Right now, I do not think that the Misty Illusory Manor can be of help. So it's fine if we do not talk about the so-called 'cooperation'!"
1874
1875"Then, what does Manor Lord Jun mean by this?" Miao Zhan's brows twitched. This senior of Misty Illusory Manor wasn't very pleased with Jun Mo Xie's arrogant way of talking. Since you think that we are not able to be of help, then why are you in such a rush to help us resolve our problems?
1876
1877"The reason is simple. It is only because I do not wish to become enemies with the Miao Family!" Jun Mo Xie said slowly. "Because I am… Mo Jun Ye! Mo Jun Ye is the other identity of I, Jun Mo Xie!"
1878
1879He raised his head and looked at Miao Zhan in his eyes. "Miao Xiao Miao, is my woman!"
1880
1881Jun Mo Xie cut the crap and made everything clear!
