531: Li Hanyi's Changes
In that case, Ye Anshi would lose an excuse to deploy troops. However, one must always be prepared for the unexpected.
"Now that the Xiao Family has been destroyed, although there's less reason to start a war, those people from Beyond the Heavens are not to be trifled with."
"We need to take precautions early," Baili Dongjun said, shaking his head.
"Yes, we indeed need to be on guard," Sikong Changfeng nodded.
"What's the situation with that girl in your family?" Baili Dongjun suddenly asked.
"Wait, Senior Brother, weren't we talking about the Demonic Sect from Beyond the Heavens? Why did you suddenly shift the topic to me?"
"Isn't this turn a bit too sharp?" Sikong Changfeng looked at his Senior Brother with a dark Face.
Baili Dongjun looked at Sikong Changfeng with a smile.
"That's not right. Am I not just concerned about my niece's romantic affairs?"
"What if your stubborn temper flares up and breaks my niece's heart?"
"Humph... Senior Brother, you'd better mind your own business. You don't need to worry about Qianluo's affairs." Sikong Changfeng glared at his Senior Brother, then turned and left with a flick of his sleeves.
Watching his Junior Brother's departing figure, Baili Dongjun smiled.
"Little punk, as if I can't handle you. Just wait until that girl Qianluo and Prince Duan are together, then let's see what you can do."
He knew very well that since Sikong Qianluo had fallen for Duan Zhengchun, she likely wouldn't be able to escape.
Even if his Junior Brother opposed it, it would be useless. Given Duan Zhengchun's personality, how could he let go of a woman who was devoted to him?
This was the conclusion he drew from the information he had gathered recently. Therefore, his Junior Brother's precious daughter was already a lost cause.
In Sikong Changfeng's manor, within Sikong Qianluo's bedroom, Sikong Qianluo's complexion was much worse compared to when she first met Duan Zhengchun.
"Dammit, that bastard. I wonder how he is. We haven't met for so long, and he doesn't even know to come looking for me." Sikong Qianluo held a rose, incessantly plucking its petals.
Seeing her Young Miss like this, the Maidservant shook her head helplessly.
"Young Miss, if you really can't stop worrying, why don't you just go find him?"
"There's no need to lose sleep and appetite every day like this."
"No way! I'm a girl. If I'm so proactive, wouldn't I lose Face?"
"That guy has already come to Snow Moon City, yet he doesn't even think to visit me, his friend." Sikong Qianluo's tone carried a hint of grievance.
Little did she know, they had only met once; who could tell what she was thinking?
"But didn't you say so yourself, Young Miss? You've only met once, and you haven't expressed your feelings."
"He is a Prince; it's normal for him not to know your situation."
"If you ask me, if you really like Prince Duan, you should find him yourself and make things clear."
"No matter the outcome, it's better than your current unrequited love."
"With your charm, Young Miss, I doubt any man could resist you."
"Prince Duan has so many women around him, one more won't hurt." The Maidservant couldn't help but advise.
"Wait, what do you mean by that? Has this Young Miss really reached the point of throwing herself at him?" Sikong Qianluo vented her frustration on the flower in her hand.
"How is your current unrequited love any different from throwing yourself at him?"
"Are you going to keep going like this? If you don't care, then wouldn't it be better to just give up on this relationship?"
"Why torture yourself every day?"
Sikong Qianluo fell silent. Should she really go find Prince Duan and make things clear?
However, she was currently a bit undecided whether her feelings for Duan Zhengchun were admiration or love.
"It's not that I don't want to go, it's just that I'm not sure what kind of feeling I have for him yet."
"I don't know if it's admiration, adoration, or love."
"So, I don't know what to say if I actually see him." Sikong Qianluo looked at the Maidservant dejectedly.
"That's even simpler. Tell me your thoughts about Prince Duan these past few days, and I'll help you analyze them."
Sikong Qianluo recounted her thoughts from the past few days. After hearing them, the Maidservant understood.
Her Young Miss was suffering from unrequited love, having been completely captivated by Prince Duan's charm and falling for him entirely.
It was just that her Young Miss was a novice in matters of the heart and knew nothing.
She didn't understand why she was like this, so it was understandable that she couldn't distinguish the situation.
After the Maidservant's explanation and guidance, Sikong Qianluo finally recognized the true feelings in her heart.
She finally decided to go see Duan Zhengchun; things had to be made clear in person... As dawn broke, the anomalies in the sky vanished.
The anomalies around the inn also disappeared.
Li Hanyi opened her eyes and was shocked to feel the changes within her.
Seeing that it was already light outside, she was very surprised.
She hadn't expected time to pass so quickly; to her, it felt like only a moment had passed before it was dawn.
However, her strength had indeed received a massive boost.
"What exactly happened? What transpired before? Why did my strength suddenly increase so much?" Li Hanyi looked at her hands in confusion.
At that moment, the door opened, and Duan Zhengchun walked in.
"How is it? Do you feel a great change in your body?"
"Was this all your doing? What did you do to me?" Li Hanyi looked at Duan Zhengchun with furrowed brows.
"It was nothing. Seeing you on the verge of a Breakthrough, I just gave you a hand."
Duan Zhengchun lay lazily beside Li Hanyi, only to find that Ye Ruoyi hadn't woken up yet.
However, Duan Zhengchun could tell at a glance that Ye Ruoyi was feigning sleep. Although she was a bit tired yesterday, she was now at the Grandmaster Realm, and a little rest would be enough.
Moreover, last night while he was bonding with Li Hanyi, Ye Ruoyi had already woken up.
She was only pretending to sleep to avoid embarrassment.
She only breathed a sigh of relief after Li Hanyi entered a state of Epiphany.
That state was too uncomfortable, making Ye Ruoyi feel even worse than being tortured.
Li Hanyi knew that given her situation yesterday, it couldn't have been that fast. She also felt that sudden cool flow when she was confused and almost lost herself.
It must have been Duan Zhengchun who acted. She just didn't know what means he used to not only pull her back from the brink of Qi Deviation but also allow her strength to increase so significantly.
Now she was at the Peak of the Heavenly Human Realm, just one step away from the Earth Immortal Realm.
That is, the legendary Divine Roaming Profound Realm. Her Master was in the Divine Roaming Profound Realm back then and was an invincible existence within it.
Now, her strength was one step closer to her Master's from back then.
This Duan Zhengchun was truly mysterious.
In over a year, she had only met him three times, and each time he brought her a different kind of improvement.
This time, she had gained unprecedented benefits.
"Thank you..."
Li Hanyi took a deep breath, the coldness on her Face melting away as she thanked Duan Zhengchun with a solemn expression.
