42: Chapter 42: Ye Lixian, the first female villain destined for greatness in this book.

Yuanzhong Domain, Qingxian City.

Ye Family.

At this moment, Li Qing, dressed as a servant, stood quietly in the corner of a hall, silently watching the high-ranking members of the Ye Family.

This Ye Family was a third-rate Family in Qingxian City; it was said they were once a first-rate Family but had since declined.

Today, Tang Meier, the fiancée of the Ye Family's direct son Ye Kai, had returned from the Four Extremes Holy Land to pay a visit.

Tang Meier was the direct daughter of the Tang Family, a first-rate Family in Qingxian City, and was also the newly promoted Saintess of the Four Extremes Holy Land.

Her purpose for coming today was to break off the engagement.

It was very cliché, but there was gossip to be had.

Even more cliché was that the person Tang Meier liked was actually Gu Beichen; Li Qing didn't even want to bother criticizing the author.

Just then, a waft of fragrant wind blew in, and a woman with an exquisite figure walked into the hall.

This woman was somewhat peculiar; she had a graceful figure but wore a half-bone mask on her Face, looking somewhat fierce and terrifying.

[Here she comes, here she comes, the book's first Fated Female Villain, Ye Lixian, is here.]

[I have to say, she truly deserves to be the first Fated Female Villain; this figure is top-tier.]

"Who is gossiping?"

Ye Lixian's gaze scanned the surroundings with a cold gloom, landing on Li Qing.

Li Qing was the only person in this area.

[Holy crap, why are you looking at me?]

[I didn't say anything.]

[Could it be that Ye Lixian has practiced the Great Heaven Nightmare Art to the point of confusion?]

Her mouth didn't move, and it wasn't a voice transmission; it seemed to be inner thoughts.

A sharp light flashed in Ye Lixian's eyes.

Furthermore, I have never told anyone that I Cultivate the Great Heaven Nightmare Art. How does this person know?

Interesting.

[Tang Meier and Gu Beichen are here.]

In the next moment, Li Qing and Ye Lixian looked toward the outside of the hall at the same time, seeing Gu Beichen and a young woman slowly walking toward the hall.

With such sharp hearing, this person's strength is likely not low.

What exactly is his purpose for infiltrating the Ye Family?

Ye Lixian only glanced at Gu Beichen and Tang Meier without taking them to heart, instead staring at Li Qing.

[Crap, why is Ye Lixian constantly looking at me?]

[Could she have discovered my identity?]

[That shouldn't be possible; the System's Disguise Technique won't make a mistake.]

[Don't panic, stay steady.]

Disguise Technique?

So he really did sneak in.

However, these inner thoughts are truly strange. I'll wait and see what he really wants to do.

Only then did Ye Lixian withdraw her gaze.

At the same time, Tang Meier and Gu Beichen had already arrived in the hall.

"Meier greets the Ye Family Head and all the Elders."

Tang Meier bowed to a middle-aged man at the head of the hall, then greeted the group of Ye Family Elders.

Gu Beichen looked at the Ye Family members with disdain and did not bow.

Although the Family Head, Ye Dingtian, was somewhat displeased to see Gu Beichen's rudeness, he didn't say much for the sake of Tang Meier, his future daughter-in-law's Face.

Standing beside him was a handsome young man; since Tang Meier entered the hall, his gaze had been fixed on her and never moved.

"Meier, how is it that after not seeing you for a few years, you've become so distant and don't call me Uncle Ye anymore?" Ye Dingtian smiled.

[Hehe, Ye Dingtian, you look so happy, but you won't be happy for long.]

[She's here to break off the engagement, and you're still saying 'Uncle Ye'.]

[Now that she's the Saintess of the Four Extremes Holy Land, it's already good enough that she calls you Family Head Ye.]

What?

Tang Meier is here to break off the engagement.

How dare she.

A cold light flashed in Ye Lixian's eyes.

[However, this Tang Meier isn't the female protagonist. Gu Beichen is approaching her for her Family's ancestral vermilion bird sword.]

[Inside this vermilion bird sword is hidden a Vermilion Bird Divine Feather, which belongs to the emperor soul inside him.]

What?

This person named Gu Beichen has an emperor soul inside him.

Ye Lixian was shocked in her heart.

"Family Head Ye, I have come today for only one thing."

"And that is to break off the engagement."

Tang Meier said with a cold expression.

[Ding, the System has detected that a ripe melon has been detected. Congratulations to the Host for starting to eat melons.]

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

She really is here to break off the engagement.

A hint of killing intent appeared in Ye Lixian's eyes.

"What did you say?" Ye Dingtian was first stunned, then showed a look of disbelief.

"Break off the engagement."

Tang Meier said indifferently.

"The marriage between you and Kai'er was set back then by..."

"I know it was set by my grandfather and the others back then, but so what? I am now the Saintess of the Four Extremes Holy Land and an Early Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator."

"And Ye Kai is just a waste with ruined Meridians. Do you think he is worthy of me?"

Tang Meier said with a proud Face.

"I am not negotiating with Family Head Ye; I am here to notify you."

"Oh, by the way, the one I like is Brother Beichen. This one beside me is the Saint of the Moon Wheel Holy Land."

Tang Meier said indifferently.

"You..."

Ye Dingtian's Face turned ashen with rage.

To have a woman come to the door to break off an engagement, the Ye Family would likely become the laughingstock of the entire cultivation world.

"Tang Meier, how dare you insult my Ye Family like this!" an Elder shouted angrily.

"Insult?"

"The weak should be trampled upon. Enough nonsense, give me the marriage contract, otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences," Tang Meier said coldly.

[This woman really has no brains.]

[Even if you want to break off the engagement, you should be more tactful.]

[Isn't this making it impossible for the Ye Family to back down?]

[Do you really think that because the Ye Family has no strong practitioners, you can trample on them at will?]

[The Ye Lixian in front of you is a powerhouse, you know.]

These inner thoughts made Ye Lixian pause.

How does he know my strength is very high?

Has this person investigated me?

That doesn't make sense; I'm obscure and an ugly woman. Why would he investigate me?

Ye Lixian's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"You'd better agree, otherwise don't blame me for being impolite," Gu Beichen said coldly.

Tang Meier had said that as long as I became her fiancé, she would let me see that vermilion bird sword.

This engagement must be broken, otherwise how can I legitimately become her fiancé?

Upon hearing this, Ye Lixian's gaze instantly locked onto Gu Beichen, her eyes bursting with intense killing intent.

Gu Beichen was extremely sensitive and his gaze landed on Ye Lixian.

Why does this woman give me a sense of danger?

Gu Beichen was stunned.

[Oh boy, the Gaze of Extermination.]

[Ye Lixian's glance made Gu Beichen feel danger. This guy is going to exterminate the entire Ye Family now.]

[The good show has just begun.]

What, exterminate my Ye Family?

Are you kidding me? Do you really think I, Ye Lixian, am a pushover?

Ye Lixian didn't believe it.

"The Ye Family cannot be allowed to remain," killing intent surfaced in Gu Beichen's heart.

Any enemy who might threaten him must die.

"You guys are simply going too far!" Ye Dingtian stood up in a rage.

"Elder Ye Qing, go and get the marriage contract and return it to Saintess Tang."

In the next moment, Ye Dingtian's words almost caught everyone off guard.

He really did stand up in a rage, but he only stayed enraged for a second.

Even Ye Lixian's eyes widened; this was just too humiliating.

"Family Head..."

"Go, quickly," Ye Dingtian said with an unquestionable attitude.

[Tsk tsk, in this Ye Family, only Ye Dingtian has some brains.]

[This Gu Beichen and Tang Meier are both Saints and Saintesses of Holy Lands. What does the Ye Family have to fight against them?]

[Instead of bringing trouble upon themselves, it's better to take the initiative to step back to preserve the Family.]

[Unfortunately, the more you are like this, the more Gu Beichen feels the Ye Family is enduring in silence and must be eliminated.]

"To endure like this, they are a hidden danger and must be eliminated."

Killing intent flickered in Gu Beichen's eyes.
