203: Chapter 203 Night Without Trace's Insatiable Greed

Ye Wuhun's words were like throwing a red-hot iron into a calm wok of oil.

The entire white jade plaza exploded in an instant!

What?!

Not only did he want the Divine Maiden, but he also wanted to take Xiao Ruoxue away as well?!

All the Xiao Family disciples widened their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief.

This was no longer a marriage alliance; this was naked humiliation!

It was pressing the Xiao Family's face into the dirt and stomping on it ruthlessly!

Xiao Ninger was the future hope of the Xiao Family and the pre-ordained Divine Maiden.

Xiao Ruoxue was the only peerless Prodigy in the Xiao Family's tens of thousands of years of history to break through to the Immortal King Realm by her own power!

These two brightest pearls of the Xiao Family—Ye Wuhun actually wanted to swallow them in one gulp?

"He... how dare he?!"

"He's mad! Is Tianshu Palace trying to force our Xiao Family to its death?"

"Too much! This is simply too much!"

Countless young Xiao Family Prodigies turned red with rage, their fists clenched so tightly they cracked, their nails digging deep into their palms.

Meanwhile, the few Elders who had been bought off by Tianshu Palace revealed joyful expressions and hurriedly added fuel to the fire.

"Young Lord is wise! If Xiao Ruoxue can serve the Young Lord alongside the Divine Maiden, that would be the supreme glory of our Xiao Family!"

"Exactly! It's just a woman; if it can trade for a powerful alliance between our Xiao Family and Tianshu Palace, it's worth it!"

These shameless words made the rage in Family Head's heart almost burst through his crown.

He stared fixedly at the arrogant youth in the sky, wishing he could rush up immediately and tear him to shreds!

Meanwhile.

In an inconspicuous courtyard in the Manual Laborer area, some distance from the main peak plaza.

Su Yun was leaning on a grandmaster chair, leisurely sunbathing.

He didn't even glance toward the main peak, as if the commotion that was enough to turn the entire Xiao Family upside down was merely a breeze outside the window.

However, the atmosphere around him had long since dropped to freezing.

"Husband!"

Zi Yun stood by Su Yun's side, her pretty face, which usually only revealed charm toward him, now covered in Frost.

In her eyes, a cluster of ghost-blue life-fire was dancing crazily.

"That piece of trash called Ye Wuhun, he actually dared... he actually dared to covet Sister Xiao Ruoxue!"

"Husband, don't stop me. I'll go right now and rip out his Divine Soul and light it as a sky lantern! Let him know who he cannot touch!"

In Zi Yun's heart, Xiao Ruoxue was already Su Yun's "private property" and her future "sister."

Ye Wuhun coveting Xiao Ruoxue made her even angrier than if he had coveted her!

Because this was a provocation to her husband's dignity!

On the other side, Xiao Ruoxue, dressed in white, was also overflowing with Killing Intent.

She didn't speak, but the air around her had already condensed into icy blue snowflakes.

A terrifying cold Qi belonging to an Immortal King expert uncontrollably spread outward.

If not for Su Yun sitting right beside her, the Immortal sword in her hand would have likely already been unsheathed, slashing through the firmament to split that arrogant star carriage, along with the person on it, into two!

"What's the rush?"

Su Yun reached out and gently pressed down on Xiao Ruoxue's hand, which was gripping the sword hilt and trembling slightly.

The touch was icy cold, yet surprisingly resilient.

He then took the opportunity to pull Zi Yun into his arms and pinched her pouting cheeks, feeling their astonishing softness.

"Just a grasshopper jumping around happily; let him jump a little longer."

Su Yun's voice was lazy and calm, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

"I was originally thinking about how to find a legitimate excuse to swallow Tianshu Palace. Now it seems it's saved me the trouble."

He looked at the pretty face of the woman in his arms, which was full of "I am very unhappy," and laughed in a low voice.

"Don't worry, this kid's nine generations can be registered and recorded tonight; none of them will be able to run."

He said these words lightly.

But heard by Zi Yun and Xiao Ruoxue, it was no less than the most overbearing imperial decree.

The Killing Intent on the two women instantly dissipated without a trace.

Zi Yun immediately put on a coquettish look, burying her head in Su Yun's chest and rubbing against it vigorously.

"Husband is still the most thoughtful; I'll listen to Husband."

Seeing this scene, Xiao Ruoxue's pretty face flushed slightly, and she withdrew her hand from the sword hilt, standing obediently to the side without another word.

Above the white jade plaza.

The standoff had entered a white-hot stage.

"Ye Wuhun!"

Family Head finally couldn't hold back anymore. He took a step out, hovering in mid-air, facing the massive star carriage directly.

The terrifying pressure belonging to an Immortal Emperor soared into the sky like a waking ancient Dragon!

"Do you really think my Xiao Family is a soft persimmon to be kneaded by anyone?!"

His voice was like rolling thunder, shaking the entire sky.

However, facing the fury of an Immortal Emperor, Ye Wuhun's face showed no fear at all.

Because, at the very moment Family Head's pressure erupted.

From behind the star carriage, an Immortal Emperor aura, no weaker than Family Head's, and even older and colder, also rose!

Two strands of Law power belonging to the Immortal Emperor level collided and squeezed crazily in mid-air!

"Crack! Crack!"

The space between the two shattered inch by inch like a fragile mirror, revealing pitch-black and deep spatial rifts.

The entire Xiao Family Divine Mountain was shaking violently under the collision of this power, as if it could collapse at any moment.

The foundation of the Xiao Family was in jeopardy!

Family Head's expression changed. He could feel that Tianshu Palace had brought more than one Immortal Emperor this time!

If they fought hard, the Xiao Family would be the only ones to suffer!

To consider the big picture, he had to forcibly suppress the anger in his heart and pull back the Immortal Emperor pressure that had already erupted.

His chest heaved with surging blood, and his throat felt sweet, but he still forcibly swallowed that mouthful of blood.

"Good, very good!"

Family Head gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Since Young Lord is so 'appreciative' of our Xiao Family's Divine Maiden and Xiao Ruoxue."

"Then everything will be decided after today's grand competition ends!"

"The daughters of our Xiao Family, their belonging will be decided by themselves!"

He was using a stalling tactic, and also implicitly shifting all the pressure to the upcoming grand competition.

Ye Wuhun heard this, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes.

He naturally understood Family Head's thoughts, but he didn't care at all.

In his view, these so-called Prodigies of the Xiao Family were just a bunch of motley crew.

That Lower Realm ant called Su Yun was not even qualified to be looked at directly by him.

"Fine."

Ye Wuhun smiled playfully, "Then this Young Lord will wait and see."

"Xiao Family grand competition, let it begin now!"

Family Head took a deep breath, forcing down the frustration and Killing Intent in his heart, his booming voice spreading throughout the arena.

"Xiao Family grand competition, officially begins!"

As soon as his voice fell.

On the main stage, light flashed.

Several top Xiao Family Prodigies who had long been unable to hold back jumped onto the stage impatiently.

Leading them was Xiao Ting, who had been suppressed by Su Yun in one move before, which he considered a great humiliation!

At this moment, relying on Tianshu Palace's influence, his face was full of resentment and ferocity.

He stretched out his finger, pointing far toward the location of the Manual Laborer area, and used all his strength to let out a hysterical roar.

"That Lower Realm ant who spoke wildly three months ago!"

"Su Yun!"

"Get up here and die!"
