Evil Emperor his wild consort (Regular Updates)

Zuo Shangchen's Fury

"Xiao Yun'er, are you joking with me?"

Zuo Shangchen could not stop himself from laughing and his laugh was mesmerizing enough for countries to fall beneath his feet. His charm unrivaled on this mainland.

Even Gu Ruoyun has to admit that she still feels a pleasant attraction whenever she sees him despite knowing him for almost three years already.

It's almost an insult to all women for a man to be this provocative.

"Do I have nothing better to do after a full meal for me to order the Dark Yin Palace to assassinate you? Also, if you're dead, your brother would probably flip the world upside down!"

Most importantly, he has no reason to kill Gu Ruoyun. Thus, it was basically impossible to say that someone from the Dark Yin Palace wanted to assassinate her!

Swoosh!

The blade of an icy sword pressed against Zuo Shangchen's throat. Wei Yiyi's lips were turned up into a seductive smile but her eyes remained cold, "The assassins who had come were really from the Dark Yin Palace. Fourth Prince, please do provide us with an explanation!"

"Such impudence!"

Qingyi saw Wei Yiyi's actions and her expression changed rapidly. Just as she wanted to draw her sword, Zuo Shangchen stopped her with a wave of his hand.

"Stand down, Qingyi."

The devilish smile slowly left his face. He narrowed his seductive eyes and asked, "Xiao Yun'er, were you're being completely serious here?"

Based on Gu Ruoyun's attitude, she would not be here if she was not absolutely sure of the situation.

Then that means that someone in the Dark Yin Palace really wants to assassinate her!

The fire of fury grew within his chest as Zuo Shangchen followed that line of thought. Whichever incompetent idiot that was responsible for this deserves to die! That person has caused him to be blamed for this! If he knew the culprit behind this, his anger would not subside until that person has been chopped into a million pieces!

"What do you think, Fourth Prince?" Gu Ruoyun laughed. "If it wasn't for the formation in my compound, my head would probably be detached from my body right now! Do you believe we are telling the truth now?"

Zuo Shangchen knew she was angry when Gu Ruoyun referred to him as the 'Fourth Prince'. She was speaking the truth, though. The Dark Yin Palace would not give up on a target that it wanted dead; if the first attack failed, they would send more people for a second attack and they will only stop when the target is dead. Gu Ruoyun's current level of power was not comparable to the stubborn old man in the Dark Yin Palace.

Thus, it was natural for her to be infuriated; after all, she had nearly died for no apparent reason. How could she not be angry?

"I'm wrongly accused, Xiao Yun'er." said Zuo Shangchen, his gorgeous expression had turned depressed, "I really had no idea about this. If you would give me some time, I will definitely provide you with an explanation."

Gu Ruoyun was quiet for a moment before she signaled Wei Yiyi to sheath her sword. Her beautiful face was graced with a smile.

However, Zuo Shangchen felt a chill running down his spine when he saw that smile.

"Fourth Prince, please do be swift in your investigation regarding the mastermind behind this. If this were to cause an inconvenience to the people around me, I will overturn the Dark Yin Palace. Even if my capabilities are not strong enough for that now but trust me, I will definitely do that one day."

Zuo Shangchen's body shuddered a little at her threat. His eyes gazed deeply at the slender young girl before him. At this moment, this girl was just like a domineering king with her pride on display for all the world to see.

He believed that Gu Ruoyun would attain that power.

A person who was called a good-for-nothing and who was at level two in the Qi Cultivation ranks just three years ago could actually achieve such heights within the span of these few years!

Only the geniuses of a few formidable forces would probably have a talent like hers.

However, when compared to those other geniuses, Gu Ruoyun's spiritual ocean was endless. That means that her cultivation and breakthroughs were much more difficult than the average person! Under these circumstances, she could still achieve such success in such a short time!

What else could she be if she was not a genius amongst all other geniuses?

Besides, Gu Ruoyun's talent would only show itself further down the line. It was widely known that bottlenecks will happen more frequently the greater your capabilities grow. Thus, when others will struggle to break through their bottlenecks, she would be able to do it effortlessly.

Basically, that means that as long as Gu Ruoyun can fill her spiritual ocean, she would be able to achieve a breakthrough despite the bottlenecks.

"Qingyi, I want you to go and investigate this matter immediately. Find out who it was that had sent out the order to assassinate Xiao Yun'er!" A murderous intent flashed within Zuo Shangchen's eyes, "No matter who it is, I want that person torn apart by five horses and let his soul perish utterly!"

Qingyi's heart felt cold. She looked at Zuo Shangchen's mesmerizing face with some fear before she immediately kneeled on the ground on one knee and said, "Understood!"

This time, the Master was really enraged!

Who was the person who did not know better? Did they not know that some missions should never be accepted? They deserve the Master's rage and they only have themselves to blame! Even the Master does not dare to harm Gu Ruoyun, those people were simply too reckless!

If the Master does not provide Lady Gu with an explanation, the Dark Yin Palace would never have the capacity to withstand her brother's anger...

"Since your performance is satisfactory, I won't take it up with you this time. However, if I find out that you were deliberately protecting your people in the Dark Yin Palace, then... You'd better prepare to live on the edge for the rest of your life!"

After that, Gu Ruoyun looked at Zuo Shangchen one last time before she left without a backward glance.

Zuo Shangchen studied her slim back as she walked away as his lips curved up and formed a bitter smile, "Xiao Yun'er's temperament is very similar to Gu Shengxiao, her older brother. She would never be taken advantage of! Both of them are indeed siblings. Qingyi, go investigate the matter now. I don't wish for Xiao Yun'er to have any misunderstanding towards me."

This young girl was probably the only person in the four nations who would dare to threaten him.

....

In a bedroom at the Imperial Place, Concubine Ling looked at the Elder who was sitting behind a screen. She asked worriedly, "Elder Liu, I heard that there is a formation set within the compound of Gu Ruoyun's residence. Will the people from the Dark Yin Palace be alright?"

Elder Liu, clad in a white robe, smiled arrogantly, "We've known of that information long ago. Therefore, there was one person within the dispatched team who is skilled in the art of formations. Based on Gu Ruoyun's abilities, even if she could find someone who could help her set up the formation, it's probably going to be an ordinary one."

"I'm relieved to hear that."

Concubine Ling heaved a sigh of relief. Then, her regal and graceful face flashed a cruel look as her lips curled to form a chilly smile.

Gu Ruoyun, she thought sinisterly, I wonder how you had reacted after receiving the assassination declaration from the Dark Yin Palace. I guess that you were probably so scared that you would have fainted on the spot! Such is your fate as an enemy of mine! I had sworn three years ago that I will cease to be human if I failed to take revenge!

"Bad news, Concubine, something's gone wrong!"

Suddenly, a harried voice sounded from outside the door.

Soon after, a person clad in a guard's uniform walked over quickly. That person immediately bowed and said in a hurry, "I had been observing the situation from outside the entrance to Lady Gu's residence just now. Those people had entered the compound but there was no sign of them for a very long time. Just now, the people within the compound had just thrown out several bodies and are burning them."

"What did you say?"

Concubine Ling's face twisted unpleasantly at the news. Before she could say anything else, the Elder beside her slammed his palm on the table with a loud bang. His face was stoic as he said, "Gu Ruoyun, what a good job you did there! She has actually thwarted a mission from the Dark Yin Palace. It looks like I will need to personally execute the mission this time!"
