173: Chapter 173 I'm not done with you yet

After transmitting his voice, Murong Yunhai noticed that his granddaughter, Liyue, had not replied to him yet, clearly too shy to do so.

“Ye Xuan of the Sword Immortal Peak is quite something, indeed. In just a few days, he has managed to win my granddaughter's heart! But that's fine too. Now that Saint Shen Xi is in control of the Holy Land, our Murong Family can use this opportunity to build a good relationship with the Sword Immortal Peak.”

“Although my Murong Family doesn't care much about competing for power in the Holy Land, ensuring the family's legacy is passed down is still my duty. As for the Leng family, I can only say sorry. Let that old monster of the Leng family deal with his own headaches!”

Besides, it wasn't as if Murong Yunhai hadn't given Leng Qianming a chance. He had, but the boy was simply too useless!

They had known each other for half a year, yet that kid Leng Qianming hadn't even held his granddaughter's hand. He was truly an embarrassment to men.

At this moment, Murong Yunhai was even considering whether he should personally visit the Sword Immortal Peak to discuss the marriage between his granddaughter and her disciple, Ye Xuan, with Master Shen Xi.

This matter needed to be settled as quickly as possible.

...

Knock, knock, knock—

“Liyue, I know you are inside. Can Brother Leng come in to see you?”

While Murong Liyue was still feeling shy, Leng Qianming's slightly magnetic voice drifted in from outside.

“Why is it this guy again? Didn't I already tell him I didn't want to see him!”

The blush on Murong Liyue's face faded, replaced by a flash of coldness on her beautiful face as she furrowed her brow.

“Please leave. I don't want to see you right now.”

Leng Qianming's face stiffened upon hearing this, but he kept his voice gentle and patiently said, “Liyue, Brother Leng already knows about you being humiliated by that Pretty Boy. But no matter what, Brother Leng won't care about those things. I will never look down on you!”

Murong Liyue, who had originally felt a bit guilty, bristled like an angered cat upon hearing this, her expression turning completely cold.

“You're the one who was humiliated! Leave Liyue Immortal Peak right now! I never want to see you again!”

Outside, Leng Qianming was also burning with rage. Finally unable to hold back, he pushed the door open with a bang.

“Bang—”

“Liyue, I already said I don't care about what happened. Yet you still want to drive me away?”

“That damn Pretty Boy stayed in the same room with you for an entire night, spanked your butt, and might have even seen your body completely naked! Am I wrong? Were you not humiliated by him?”

“Am I no longer your Brother Leng? Why are you driving me away? Has that Pretty Boy already stolen your heart?”

At this moment, Leng Qianming seemed to have gone mad, furiously venting the hidden rage in his heart at Murong Liyue.

“Leng Qianming, get lost and go back right now! This is my business, and it has nothing to do with you!”

This completely stirred up a hornet's nest. Murong Liyue certainly wasn't going to indulge Leng Qianming, and her voice grew much colder: “That big pervert didn't do anything bad to me, and even if he did, I would still be happy!”

Right now, the only remaining space in Murong Liyue's heart was completely occupied by Ye Xuan's handsome face and his mischievous grin.

As for the Leng Qianming before her, he always wore a gloomy expression, making him look as if someone owed him tens of thousands of spirit stones.

Although that big rascal often spanked her butt, he always kept a warm smile on his face. This was something Leng Qianming could never compare to.

“Hahaha, good, good, wonderful! It seems I was thinking too much after all. I was just being self-righteous.”

Seeing this, Leng Qianming's face grew even gloomier. His narrow eyes narrowed even further, like a venomous snake about to make its final strike.

“Murong Liyue, you stayed in the same room with that Pretty Boy of your own free will! You shamelessly let him spank your butt willingly! Hahaha, I really thought too highly of you, Lei Ling'er.”

“Yes, you are absolutely right! I let him spank my butt of my own free will!”

At this moment, being pointed at by Leng Qianming, Murong Liyue retorted in sheer anger.

At least in the beginning, she had actually been unwilling to be spanked by Ye Xuan, since she was still nominally betrothed to Leng Qianming. But later on, she had grown used to it...

“You are right. Next, I will have the Ancestor come and dissolve our engagement. I, Leng Qianming, was born with the phenomenon of three thousand miles of purple qi. I am destined to become an immortal in the future! Since you, Murong Liyue, have so little self-respect, I, Leng Qianming, naturally will not marry you!”

“In the future, I will stand at the peak of the world and watch you and that Pretty Boy turn into a handful of yellow dust! I will make you realize just how pathetic your choice today was!”

Leng Qianming was also extremely furious. After leaving behind these harsh words, he turned around and left Liyue Immortal Peak.

Hearing Murong Liyue defend that Pretty Boy, Leng Qianming had even felt a surge of killing intent, wanting to kill this shameless woman on the spot. However, her grandfather, Murong Yunhai, was close friends with his own family's ancestor, Leng Lishang...

He would definitely make this wretched couple pay a heavy price in the future!

...

“The Celestial Emperor Canon is truly worthy of being an immortal scripture. After practicing it for just three days, my divine soul has actually grown thirty percent stronger than before!”

In the Northwest Great Territory, at the depths of a medium-sized spirit stone mine of the Wang Family in Yan City, Ye Xuan opened his closed eyes. A purple lightning flash flickered in his left eye, while a holy fire gleamed in his right. An incredibly powerful aura erupted from his body.

Ye Xuan used his divine sense to inspect his divine soul internally. He found that his originally illusory and barely human-shaped soul had become much more solid. Given more time, his divine soul would probably undergo a complete transformation.

“Now that I've obtained the greatest opportunity, it's time to return to the Cangqiong Holy Land.”

Ye Xuan stood up from the ground, stretched, and yawned. He had been stabilizing his divine soul for the past few days, especially since there was still a fairy sister residing in his sea of consciousness.

...

Atop the pavilion of Qianming Immortal Peak.

With an extremely gloomy expression, Leng Qianming returned to his main seat. His solitary and sinister figure was spine-chilling.

“Elder Leng Ku, has that Pretty Boy returned yet?”

Furious, Leng Qianming looked at Elder Leng Ku, who was kneeling on the ground, his voice filled with killing intent.

Without hesitation, Elder Leng Ku spoke the truth this time, replying respectfully, “Young Master, not yet!”

“Go intercept him on his way back. It would be best if you can assassinate him in a sneak attack!”

Leng Qianming casually threw out a Grade Six Emperor-Breaking Pill. Its rich medicinal fragrance made Elder Leng Ku's eyes light up with excitement.

“This old servant is willing to go through fire and water for Young Master!”

After respectfully accepting the pill, Elder Leng Ku vanished from the spot.

Watching Elder Leng Ku depart, although Leng Qianming didn't harbor much hope of actually killing Ye Xuan, he was determined not to make things easy for that Pretty Boy.

“Damn Pretty Boy, I had no major grudge against you, so why did you have to entangle your karma with mine? The hatred of having my woman stolen is irreconcilable!”
