Chapter 211:-Yun Xiao, I Knew It, You Came (2)
"Young master, this girl is extremely stubborn. Anything you say to her will be useless." Bai Ci pressed against his ceaselessly bleeding arm with a ghastly pale complexion, his hate for Yun Luofeng deepening.
Bai Su did not look at the old man. As if his body was a breeze, Bai Su suddenly appeared in front of Yun Luofeng with a wicked smile on his lips.
An intense pressure pressed on Yun Luofeng like a mountain, freezing her body. She wanted to resist, but she could not utilize any of her strength.
It might not seem like she used too many moves against Bai Ci, but in truth, because she overused too much of her spiritual strength, her body was currently very weak!
Bai Su glanced at Yun Luofeng with a smile and exerted an even stronger pressure on her, vainly attempting to force her to kneel.
The girl's knee did not stop trembling. Under this formidable pressure, she could feel that her legs were somewhat unable to bear this type of force.
But...
Even though her bones were strained to the point of creaking, she did not allow her knees to bend. Her spine remained straight, and her pitch-black eyes were brimming with determination.
"Girl, as expected, you are not bad." Bai Su glanced at Yun Luofeng with praise, but he did not retract his force and instead increased the strength of his power. "However, I would like to see how long you can last."
This girl's personality was extremely stubborn. If he did not tame her now, he reckoned that it would be difficult for him to use her in the future.
Bai Su released all of the power in his body and directed it all toward Yun Luofeng!
If it was an average person, they would have been crushed by his strength a long time ago. But even now, Yun Luofeng was still bitterly holding on.
Even so, the shaking in her knees grew more intense, and they gradually began to bend...
Watching Yun Luofeng's sweat-ridden back, Qingyan and Ye Ling's eyes were fraught with anxiety.
However, when Bai Su exerted his pressure on Yun Luofeng, he also emitted some excess pressure! And this excess pressure caused them to be unable to move a single step, they could only look on helplessly as Yun Luofeng struggled under such an incredible power.
Yun Luofeng's body was almost at its limit. Her snow-white face was covered with sweat, and her clothes were completed soaked with sweat and closely plastered to her body.
"Yun Xiao..." she quietly muttered with a smile on her lips as she slightly closed her eyes.
Yun Xiao?
Everyone could hear the two words that she uttered, but they were taken aback, not comprehending who was this Yun Xiao that she spoke of.
At this moment, a heavy aura abruptly struck, closely followed by a black silhouette rapidly dashing toward them like a nightjar, setting off stormy winds in the entire street.
Fast!
This speed was too fast! The figure was like a gale, and by the time everyone regained their senses, he already reached Yun Luofeng...
At this moment, Yun Luofeng, who was about to fall head first on the ground, suddenly felt an arm extending toward her from behind, and her body landed in a warm embrace
Feeling the man's broad chest, a smile appeared on her beautiful face. "Yun Xiao, I knew it, you came."
After a half-year of interactions, she was already extremely familiar with this man's presence. Hence, it was because she sensed the man's presence that she would relax and allow her body to fall just now...
"I'm late."
The man pursed his lips, his long black robe billowing in the wind. He tightly held onto the girl in his arms, his entire body emitting his killing intent.

Chapter 212:- End of Empress Rong (1)
He had only been away for several days, but when he came back, the first thing he saw was that Yun Luofeng was being bullied.
Yun Xiao couldn't imagine what would happen if he back came a bit later.
"Go to hell!
The man's cruel eyes left Yun Luofeng and turned to Bai Su. "All those who bullied her shall go to hell!"
Bai Su stared at the man next to Yun Luofeng who just showed up, a subtle light glimmering in his vicious eyes.
"It seems that I am not the only one who fancies her. You like her too. Too bad, I'll never allow any other man get the woman I like."
Yun Xiao gently and slowly put Yun Luofeng on the ground and instructed Qing Yan expressionlessly, "Take care of her."
Then, he turned his eyes to Bai Su, his body as straight as a sharp sword and his dark eyes filled with killing desire.
No one could hurt her!
"Oh, I'd love to see the real strength of the famous Ghost Emperor."
Smiling and looking at Yun Xiao with ease, Bai Su seemed not to fear him at all.
Instead, the existence of Yun Xiao aroused a greater interest of his on Yun Luofeng.
Ghost Emperor?
Ye Dong shivered and a look of horror appeared in his eyes. He couldn't help backing up a few paces, rolling his eyes and thinking about what he should do next.
Was this horrible man in black the Ghost Emperor who was said to be heartless? Gosh, Yun Luofeng even knew of Ghost Emperor? Moreover, it seemed that the two were actually quite close.
And he was trying to take Ghost Emperor's woman just now?
BOOM!
In the air, Bai Su received the attack of Yun Xiao. Right at the moment the two's fists collided, a powerful force was released, destroying all the surrounding trees and leaving an enormous gaping hole in the ground.
Bai Su was continuously pushed back, and it took a long time before he stopped. He looked at the man who was as cold as a god, with a vicious smile on his face.
"The strength of Ghost Emperor is really not bad. Now I've been enlightened. I'll take my leave first. Let's fight again some other time."
Seeing Bai Su running away, Yun Xiao had his face darkened and just when he was going to chase him, he felt something ominous next to him.
"Young Master, go!" Bai Ci shouted at Bai Su and kept concentrating all his inner strength, his whole body swelling like a balloon and his twisted, ferocious face showing a determination to take his life.
If Yun Xiao was going to chase Bai Su, he could not stop Bai Ci from exploding himself! And then Yun Luofeng, who was unable to move now, would be badly injured by his self-detonation.
Yun Xiao would surely know what the right choice was.
His tall figure immediately appeared in front of Bai Ci, he then grabbed the old man in his hand, saying coldly, "Do you want to explode yourself? Good, I'll give you a hand."
BOOM!
A great power suddenly rushed into the old man's body and dispelled all his strength, and in an instant, his body began to crack and his blood trickled down on his skin.
"Ahhh!"
With this shrill cry, the old man's body exploded like a balloon and turned into a mist of blood.
And then, the whole street quieted down again...
Yun Xiao threw the old man's clothes onto the ground and walked to Yun Luofeng. "I've injured him. It would take him a long time to recover. During that time, he won't be able to bother you, and I will send someone to pursue him!"
.

Chapter 213:- End of Empress Rong (2)
Raising her head, Yun Luofeng looked into the man's cold eyes and plaster om a smile. "Yun Xiao, I'm tired. Take me back to rest."
"Alright."
Yun Xiao went to Yun Luofeng, bent down to pick her up and strode into Luofeng Pavilion.
Looking at the two departing people, Ye Dong finally came back from shock. His face all pale, he rolled his eyes and asked, "My son, do you know Ghost Emperor?"
Ye Ling coldly snorted and his handsome face was full of contempt, "I don't know Ghost Emperor. I only know her."
The 'her' referred to Yun Luofeng.
"Son," Ye Dong's face turned even paler, "I didn't mean to offend Yun Luo... Miss Yun. I just followed the order of Bai Family. Taking into account that I'm your father, go intercede in my behalf."
Other people present may not have heard of Ghost Emperor, but he was the emperor of a country, so how could he not know the existence of Ghost Emperor?
So, upon hearing that Yun Xiao was Ghost Emperor, he became terrified.
"Intercede for you? Come on, you didn't only want to take her but also take her power away, and now you want me to mediate for you?" Ye Ling sneered and said coldly.
"What?" Ye Dong paused and then asked, "What are you talking about, son? When did I attempt to take away her power? I just... "
Before he even finished, he was interrupted by the cold voice of the young man, "I forgot to tell you, Luofeng Pavilion is her power. I just work for her. She is the real master of Luofeng Pavilion!"
Luofeng Pavilion?
Yun Luofeng?
The truth hit Ye Dong like a bolt out of the blue. He staggered and finally fell to the ground because he couldn't withstand such a blow.
In the first place, it didn't occur to him that Luofeng Pavilion was named after Yun Luofeng. He was just too stupid to connect her with Luofeng Pavilion!
And he even attempted to take away the entire Luofeng Pavilion in front of its master!
Thinking of this, he had a bitter feeling welling up in his mind, and his face turned utterly pale.
Ye Ling glanced at Ye Dong and said with a cold voice, "Now I just want to tell you this: if you don't court death then you won't die... You've gotten yourself into trouble, and there's no one you can blame!"
...
In a dense forest, a man in purple robes fell down from the air. Holding an ancient tree next to him to support himself, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
He wiped the blood from his mouth, slightly raised his vicious eyes to look at the sky nearby, and sneered, "I really underestimated that girl. I didn't expect that she'd have Ghost Emperor stand on her side! And the power of Ghost Emperor is way more powerful than I thought. His attack almost shattered my insides."
If it were not for Bai Ci sacrificing himself, he would not have managed to escape.
"One day, I will return the humiliation I suffered today to you!"
...
In adytum of the imperial palace.
Inside the luxurious palace, Empress Rong was lying casually on a soft crouch, a triumphant smile on her demure face.
"Bai Ling, you were killed by me, and your daughter couldn't escape this fate as well! You and your daughter are too much alike in character. Both of you believe death is better than dishonor. So, I'm sure Yun Luofeng will not leave with that powerful man of Bai Family."
.
.
.
Chapter 214:- End of Empress Rong (3)
Empress Rong lowered her eyes, and the triumphant smile on her lips grew even wider.
Members of the Bai Family always stuck to the principle that if they were unable to have something, then nobody could have it. If Yun Luofeng refused to leave with the powerful man of the Bai Family, she would probably end up dead!
"Hahaha!"
As if witnessing Yun Luofeng dying miserably, Empress Rong laughed with abandon. Her face looked ferocious, and her demure manner disappeared along with her wild laughter.
"Empress Consort, Empress Consort!"
All of a sudden, an urgent voice was heard, and immediately after a court maid hurried into the palace, panting.
"How's it going?" Empress Rong sat up excitedly. "Is that little bitch dead?"
In order to find out how miserably Yun Luofeng died, Empress Rong had deliberately sent a court maid that she trusted to stay on the site to report a vivid description of Yun Luofeng's death when she returned.
At the words of Empress Rong, the woman paused and carefully glanced at Empress Rong. "Empress, Yun Luofeng... Yun Luofeng is a earth-level low-rank spirit cultivator, and she even took the risk and disabled Master Bai Ci's arm."
"What did you say?"
The face of Empress Rong changed in an instant, and a malicious light glimmered in her eyes. "Are you sure you're telling the truth?"
Yun Luofeng was a earth-level low-rank spirit cultivator and defeated Master Bai Ci? This was impossible! How could this little bitch be so skilled?
"Consort, it's true. And after Yun Luofeng defeated Master Bai Ci, Master Bai Su also appeared... "
The court maid had long been trusted by Empress Rong, so she knew a little bit about the Bai Family, though she didn't have a clear understanding, nor did she know that the whole royal family was controlled by the Bai Family.
"Master Bai Su also appeared?" A streak of delight flashed across Empress Rong's eyes, "Was Yun Luofeng killed by Master Bai Su?"
The court maid shook her head and meekly answered, "Consort, it was almost certain that Yun Luofeng would have been killed, but a man who was called Ghost Emperor by Master Bai Su suddenly appeared. Then Master Bai Su was defeated by him and escaped. Also, Yun Luofeng is the master of Luofeng Pavilion..."
The court maid did not know who Ghost Emperor was, but Empress Rong once heard Ye Dong mention this man! It was said that this Ghost Emperor was powerful, blood-thirsty, and almost like the devil himself, so he was called Ghost Emperor.
What devastated Empress Rong was that Yun Luofeng was the master of Luofeng Pavilion!
How ridiculous she was for planning to gift Yun Luofeng to the steward of Luofeng Pavilion and make her his concubine! She even claimed that Yun Luofeng would definitely choose to marry Wu Zhong for his power!
Who would have thought that she was the master of Luofeng Pavilion? No wonder she didn't give a shit about Wu Zhong!
As if hearing what she had said that day, Empress Rong shivered slightly and closed her eyes, her face full of despair.
"Queen Consort, something bad has happened!"
As soon as Empress Rong closed her eyes, someone hurriedly stumbled inside and shouted anxiously, "The emperor has been caught. Third Prince led a group of people and intruded into the imperial palace, claiming they would have revenge for Junior General Yun Yang of the Longyuan Kingdom and his wife!"
"What?"
Empress Rong quickly opened her eyes and asked anxiously. "How about Luo'er? Where is Luo'er?"
"Se... Second Prince wanted to run away when he got the news, but he was caught by the men of Third Prince."

Chapter 215:- End of Empress Rong (4)
Her knees went weak, and Empress Rong fell to the ground. With a ghastly pale face, she looked out of the palace in despair.
She was finished! This time, she was completely finished!
Outside the palace, a bustling voice rang. After a while, a handsome and cold young man led a group of people to come in from the outside. Waving his hand, he ordered coldly, "Guards! Arrest Empress Rong and her men!"
"No!"
Seeing this group of people approaching her combatively, Empress Rong finally realized what had happened and screamed, "You let go of me. I'm Empress of the country, the motherly model of the nation! How dare you offend me! I'll have your whole family executed!"
Her hair came loose and fell on her face. She stared fiercely at the guards like a mad woman, a crazed look on her face.
"Take her away!" Ye Ling coldly commanded. From the beginning to the end, he never looked at Empress Rong.
"Ye Ling, you little bastard, little brute! I knew that I should have killed you and sent you to be with your mother in hell! But in the end, I did not kill you. Now you not only don't appreciate that I spared your life, but are even helping others to hurt me! You're even lower than a beast! What an ungrateful soul!" Empress Rong struggled hard, her face full of hatred, "Little bastard, you should not be alive in this world! You should have died!"
Ye Ling's eyes darkened. Looking at Empress Rong who was desperately struggling in the hands of the guards, he sneered, "Empress Rong, you can never escape God's retribution for all your deeds. Today you are only getting what you deserve! Well, let me think about how to deal with you. Should I dismember you alive, feed you to the wolves, or cut you in pieces?"
Every time Ye Ling uttered a punishment, Empress Rong could not help but tremble. She finally felt scared, trying to push away the guards holding her firmly.
"Please don't! I realize that I was wrong! Ye Ling, please spare me because I didn't kill you when I could have. I promise I'll never do anything bad again!"
Ye Ling raised the corners of his lips and looked at Empress Rong mockingly, "You mean I should thank you for not killing me? Unfortunately, it's not me who wants you to die! Guards, take her away and put her to death by cutting her in pieces!"
"No!"
A shrill cry rang through the whole Imperial Palace. However, no matter how hard she fought, she was finally dragged out of the door by two guards.
...
What happened in the Imperial Palace of Liujin Kingdom spread all over the Imperial City at lightning speed! It was said that the Emperor had lost his power, the Empress was captured, and all the princes were fighting for the throne.
In the end, General Yi led the army to guard the Imperial Palace and quell the rebellion!
Even so, after the ministers and common people of Liujin Kingdom learned that it was Yun Luofeng who had thrown the Imperial City into chaos, they swarmed around Luofeng Pavilion early in the morning.
As if led by some unknown person, all the people began to shout angrily. "Yun Luofeng, Ye Ling! How dare you traitors conspire to murder His Majesty! Come out! That woman Bai Ling was really a femme fatale. She was the cause of everything! If it were not for her, the two countries wouldn't have had a war! So many people wouldn't have died!"
For those who believed that the Continent should be dominated by men, women were to blame for all the tragedies.
.
.
.
Chapter 216:- A Femme Fatale Who Brought Calamity to the World
If the Emperor hadn't had a crush on Bai Ling, there wouldn't have been a war between the two countries ten years ago! Therefore, that woman was exactly a femme fatale who brought calamity to the world. All the casualties were caused by her!
Her daughter should atone for her mother's sin! She was not entitled to revenge Bai Ling's death.
His Majesty did nothing wrong, the one who was to blame was Bai Ling! She let His Majesty have a crush on her! If she had tamely become His Majesty's concubine, would there have been so many casualties?
Those people who had lost their loved ones in the war were particularly angry and even wanted to kill Yun Luofeng to revenge their loved ones.
"A femme fatale who brought calamity to the world?"
Suddenly, a chuckle came from the rear. The crowd turned to look at it only to find that Yun Luofeng had shown up behind them.
She was in a snow-white robe, with a wicked smile on her face and an icy light glimmering in her eyes. She coldly stared at the people swarming around Luofeng Pavilion with her dark eyes. "Yun Luofeng, you finally appear. I thought you would hide like a turtle pulling its head into its shell!" someone sneered in the crowd.
Yun Luofeng turned her eyes to the speaker and gently raised her eyebrows. "Did you just call my mother a femme fatale who brought calamity to the world?"
"Yes, so she was! If it weren't for her, there wouldn't have been so many deaths on the battlefield!"
Yun Luofeng chuckled, her smile full of killing intent, and she gradually moved toward the person in the crowd. "As far as I know, the war arose between the two countries due to the lewdness of Ye Dong! But now, you are blaming her for that?"
"Humph! As the ruler of the country, His Majesty can't be wrong! Besides, he wouldn't have started the war if it weren't for Bai Ling! So, as Bai Ling's daughter, you should kneel down and apologize to the heroes who died on the battlefield."
On this Continent, although women could learn martial arts, the power was held by men! Since men were in power, how was it possible for them to admit that men would make mistakes? Even if the war broke out because of a man's lewdness, they would only blame a woman for that!
Yun Luofeng felt that it was ridiculous. These male chauvinists would always pass the buck! "Ye Dong was fatuous and lewd and even launched a war against the Long Yuan Kingdom just for his personal desire. How could you think that it was my mother who did the wrong thing? What wrong had my mother done? She was persecuted by a tyrant and was murdered on the battlefield! What's wrong with me seeking revenge for her?"
"No matter how many people died, I had nothing to do with it! Yes, there were heavy causalities in the war between the two countries, so what? I don't care how many people of your country died. I only know that I will send those who murdered my parents to hell to atone for their sin!"
With her face showing a defiant and unruly smile, and her snow-white robe fluttering in the fierce wind, she looked aggressive and domineering.
"If any of you dare to call her that again, I don't mind using your blood to wash the gate of Luofeng Pavilion!"
She would never allow anyone to insult her parents!
"Hahaha, ridiculous, you are really ridiculous! Yun Luofeng, we are just ordinary people who came to denounce your crime! As a martial master, are you going to kill ordinary people? Aren't you afraid that you will make yourself a laughingstock?"
This was why they dared to swarm around Luofeng Pavilion and provoke Yun Luofeng! After all, Yun Luofeng had been born in a general's family, and she had become an earth-level spirit cultivator! Was she really going to kill a bunch of ordinary people? If she did, the whole world would laugh at her!
.
.
.
Chapter 217:- I Have No Family but You
"Yun Luofeng, if that siren Bai Ling hadn't bewitched His Majesty, His Majesty wouldn't have launched a war against the Long Yuan Kingdom! Therefore, you have to kneel down and kowtow a thousand times to all the dead of our Liujin Kingdom! And set His Majesty and Empress Consort free! They didn't do anything wrong. The one who was to blame was only Bai Ling!"
"Yes! Set His Majesty and Empress Consort free! You have no right to imprison them!"
Of these people, two young men spoke the loudest! They kept speaking with a self-righteous tone as if Bai Ling and Yun Luofeng were heinous villains! And Ye Dong and Empress Rong, who were imprisoned by her, were good people who had been wronged!
Raising the corners of her lips, Yun Luofeng walked toward the young man, her arrogant eyes shining with danger.
"I've told you. Don't let me hear any insulting words about her again, otherwise... "
Boom!
She punched the chest of the young man, who suddenly flew out and slammed into the door before he had the time to react.
"Otherwise, you will end up like this!"
The young man spit out a mouthful of blood and looked at Yun Luofeng angrily. "Yun Luofeng, you won't have a good end. You will be damned to the deepest level of hell and never have a next life!"
"If there really was a hell, I would love to take a trip there!" Yun Luofeng glanced at the young man, who couldn't get up from the ground, and sneered. "Unfortunately, even hell wouldn't dare to accept me!"
"You... " The young man pointed at Yun Luofeng, his face purple with anger, "Yun Luofeng, you demon! One day, you will outrage the public, and the righteous men on the Continent will wipe you out on behalf of Heaven!"
"I'd like to see them try." Yun Luofeng slightly raised the corners of her lips and commanded, "Pass my order. Kill anybody who dares to insult my parents! Make sure no one dares to say any insulting words about them even at the cost of a bloodbath in the Imperial City!"
"Yes, Master!"
The people of Luofeng Pavilion made an obeisance and answered respectfully.
A bloodbath in the Imperial City! She didn't just say it for fun! In a short time, Luofeng Pavilion swept over the entire Imperial City with lightning speed and made all the voices insulting Bai Ling disappear. Those who thought Yun Luofeng would not condescend to deal with them because they were just ordinary people bore the consequences of their actions!
...
In an elegantly decorated room, a wisp of sandalwood smoke was rising slowly. She stood at the window pondering, her white robe covered by the glowing moonlight and her eyes fixed on the dark night outside.
"Do you think I am wrong, Yun Xiao?"
The man standing behind her heard her words and answered coldly, "You can't be wrong."
Whatever she did, there was nothing wrong with it!
"What if the whole world thinks I'm wrong?" She slowly turned around, gazed at the man's handsome and masculine face with her dark eyes, and smiled.
Yun Xiao paused, "You can't be wrong! If everyone in the world thinks you are wrong, I will kill all the people, and no one will say you are wrong!" She wouldn't do anything wrong! Even if she did, he would think she was right! He added, "I'll always stand by your side."
Even if the whole world thought she was wrong, as long as he thought she was right, that would be enough!
Yun Luofeng smiled wickedly, "What if your family thinks I am wrong?"
It seemed that her words reminded Yun Xiao of something. He paused, raised his cool dark eyes and gazed at Yun Luofeng.
"I have no family but you."
.
.

Chapter 218:- Going Home (1)
"I have no family but you –"
Yun Luofeng wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say. She looked at Yun Xiao with a complicated look because it hadn't occurred to her that he was an orphan.
Certainly, Yun Xiao didn't expect that Yun Luofeng had misunderstood his meaning, but for him, there would be no difference whether those people were alive or dead.
"Yun Xiao," Yun Luofeng gazed at his cold face and said seriously, "from now on, Yun Family will be your home and my family will be your family. As long as I am here, you will never be alone."
Easily touched by her words, Yun Xiao couldn't help raising the corners of his lip and cracked a faint smile. Though it was just a faint smile and disappeared soon, Yun Luofeng caught a glimpse of his casual smile. Immediately, she felt her heart skip a beat.
His smile was simply mesmerizing!
"Yun Xiao," Yun Luofeng slightly narrowed her eyes, raised her hand to pinch his cold face, and laughed with joy, "I didn't expect your smile to be so beautiful. If it was seen by other women they would go crazy for you."
Yun Xiao was stunned and then looked at Yun Luofeng seriously, "Then... I'll only smile for you."
For him, he would answer every single question of Yun Luofeng seriously, and every single order Yun Luofeng issued, he would also carry it out seriously!
Even if Yun Luofeng was only joking, he would take it seriously!
Looking at his serious face, Yun Luofeng raised her eyebrow slightly and flirtingly lifted his chin with her finger, the smile on her face getting more seductive and coquettish.
"Yun Xiao, do you know what you mean by this sentence?"
In saying this, she leaned her body forward and pressed his body tightly against the wall. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Now that you have made an oath that you will only smile for me from now on, then you must not smile for any other woman, otherwise... " Yun Luofeng narrowed her eyes slightly, and a dangerous light flashed through her eyes.
Yun Xiao looked deeply into Yun Luofeng's eyes. "I will not take back what I said to you! And I will never deceive you."
This was his commitment to her!
A lifelong commitment!
Yun Luofeng's heart shivered greatly. Somehow she just believed every single word Yun Xiao spoke! It was as if she knew from the depth of her heart that this man would never deceive her!
Just as Yun Luofeng was in a daze, his hand suddenly fell on her back and pressed her hard against his chest.
And then...
He didn't give Yun Luofeng the chance to leave, his cold lips falling on hers and his hands tightly holding her against his chest.
Yun Luofeng narrowed her eyes slightly and showed a faint smile, the light in her eyes getting more dangerous. Was this guy actually kissing her? For half a year, Yun Xiao had been in a passive role. It was the first time that he took the initiative! It seemed that her education had finally worked.
However, because Yun Xiao had never touched a woman, he was like a blank sheet of paper. Therefore, his kissing technique was lacking and Yun Luofeng still needed to guide him. Yun Luofeng's hand suddenly fell on Yun Xiao's chest, pushing him away from her. "Yun Xiao, your technique is unskilled and I still have to teach you."
.
.

Chapter 219:- Going Home (2)
And then...
Her hand slid into Yun Xiao clothes like little snakes, her slender fingers gently stroked his strong muscles, and her touch, like an electric current, made Yun Xiao's body suddenly freeze.
There was a burning desire in his mind, and at this moment he even had the impulse to fling himself on her.
"Take him to bed, take him to bed!"
The one who was most excited about Yun Luofeng's behavior was Xiao Mo in the God Code Space. He almost jumped up, and two lines of tears ran down his face.
This was great! Master finally did something! As long as she and Yun Xiao practiced dual cultivation, her strength would be greatly improved! And then, he would be one step closer to leaving the God Code Space...
Unfortunately, Xiao Mo rejoiced too soon.
Yun Luofeng's palm slipped across Yun Xiao's chest and then was withdrawn, and a wicked smile hovered on her lips.
"Yun Xiao, you have good muscles. How did you get these?"
Yun Xiao frowned. "I don't know. Ten years ago, I was thrown into a mountain forest, and I didn't leave there until three years ago. During those years, I stayed in the mountains and fought with spiritual beasts. I probably developed these muscles at that time." He said this with a cold tone as if he was telling someone else's story. Even when he talked about seven years of nightmarish life, he still kept a straight face.
Yun Luofeng felt a sharp pain in her heart. Though she was called trash, she still had a grandfather who was a general! Over the years, those people didn't dare to hurt her openly.
But those years of Yun Xiao were a sheer nightmare! Ten years ago, he was just a kid under ten without the strength that he had today. She couldn't imagine how he survived seven years. "Yun Xiao, didn't you ever think of leaving there during the seven years?"
He spent the most beautiful seven years of his life alone in the mountains. No wonder this guy was so simple. He was utterly ignorant about love between men and women because no one had ever taught him about this! Those accompanying him in the mountains were only spiritual beasts. How could he know about Chungong Tu? At this moment, Yun Luofeng finally understood why there was a man on this Continent who had no idea what a Chungong Tu was.
To Yun Luofeng's question, Yun Xiao just said, "That mountain forest is called 'No Return'!"
With this name, Yun Luofeng understood what he meant. The Forest of No Return, just like its name, meant nobody would return from it! It was one of the most dangerous places on the Continent!
It was said that the Forest of No Return stretched tens of thousands of miles from the east to the west, across the whole Continent.
More importantly, there were different perils in the Forest of No Return, where the slightest carelessness would make one the food of spiritual beasts. Even if you escaped the hunting of beasts, you might fall into a trap. Even the strong ones of the Continent dared not venture into the Forest of No Return...
"Yun Xiao, who left you there?" Yun Luofeng's eyes shone with a killing intent.
She could hardly imagine how he survived this dangerous environment! And he had been living in that place for seven years! "That man...," Yun Xiao's eyes gradually darkened, "he doesn't deserve to be called a human!"
Yun Luofeng repressed the feeling in her heart and stepped forward to embrace Yun Xiao. She lowered her eyelids to cover the killing desire in her eyes.

Chapter 220:- Going Home (3)
"Yun Xiao, whoever hurt you, I will avenge you!"
She would never allow anyone around her to be hurt!
Yun Xiao looked down at the woman in front of him and showed a faint smile. "I have you and that's enough."
He could give up anybody in the world but her! And, he wouldn't care if anybody in the world had abandoned him. As long as she was with him, that would be enough for him!
Yun Luofeng raised her head that was buried in his chest and cracked a gentle smile. "We have been away for a long time. I think my old man must be really mad at me, and right now what I did in the Liujin Kingdom hasn't been made known to the people of Long Yuan Kingdom. I need to go back home before the people of Long Yuan find out about these things."
Go home...
How warm were these two words for Yun Xiao who had no family? From this moment on, any place where she was would be his home!
"Ok, let's go home."
...
The Long Yuan Kingdom.
In the hall of the General's Estate, General Yun listened to a servant reporting with a cold face.
The General's mood had been so bad since the heiress left without notice, that all the people of the General's Estate were very careful for fear that the General might vent his anger on them.
"Your... Your Excellency," the servant carefully glanced at the old guy and said meekly, "His Highness the Crown Prince has been missing and Miss left without notice. People are all gossiping that Miss was unwilling to let His Highness Crown Prince marry Mu Wushuang, so she forced His Highness to elope with her in exchange for her treatment of His Highness's disease."
Bang!
The old man hit the table with rage, which was immediately smashed into two pieces. The teacup on it fell to the ground and the tea spilled all over the floor.
"Who started this rumor?"
The servant swallowed and replied with a shaky voice, "The people of the Mu Family did it."
General Yun had not personally heard the rumors outside, nor did he know how terrible the contents of these rumors were. If he had heard those words, he wouldn't have been able to control his temper and would have killed those people on the spot!
In a word, at the behest of the people of Mu Family, everyone was gossiping about Yun Luofeng and Gao Ling!
All they were talking about was that Yun Luofeng was really shameless. The Crown Prince didn't love her, but she used her treatment as a threat, forcing the Crown Prince to elope with her! The poor Crown Prince must have fallen into Yun Luofeng's hands! Since Yun Luofeng used to stick to the Crown Prince like a limpet, she must have raped him.
Soon, all the women in the Long Yuan Kingdom, who loved the Crown Prince, were gnashing their teeth at Yun Luofeng! If Yun Luofeng appeared in front of them, they would surely have rushed forward to tear her to pieces!
At this point, Yun Luofeng, who had just returned to the Long Yuan Kingdom, did not know what had happened these days. However, as soon as she stepped into the gate of the Imperial City, she found that everybody looked at her with a strange look. She paused and frowned, but she did not think much of it and went in the direction of the General's Estate...
"What did you say? Yun Luofeng had come back?"
In the Prime Minister's Estate.
Mu Xingchou was in the study discussing some issues with his subordinates. After he heard the reporting of his servant, his face turned grim and he sneered, "I didn't expect that she would have the nerve to come back! This time, I will never let her go!"
Every time Mu Xingchou thought of the humiliation he suffered at the gate of the Imperial City that day, he could not restrain his anger.

Chapter 221:- Avenge My Parents
"Grandfather," Mu Wushuang slightly lowered her eyes and her beautiful face looked calm and emotionless, "Yun Luofeng is back now. What should we do?"
"Wushuang, you can rest assured that no one can compete with you for the Crown Prince!" Mu Xingchou slightly narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "I don't care whether the disappearance of the Crown Prince has anything to do with Yun Luofeng or not. I just want the whole world to believe that she has coerced the Crown Prince! As long as people believe it, she will be ruined!"
Mu Wushuang did not say anything, but the resentment in her heart kept springing up like mushrooms and she couldn't stop it.
At the General's Estate, as soon as Yun Luofeng stepped into the foreyard, she heard an angry voice coming out of the hall.
"Yun Xiao," she said, raising her eyebrows, "you stay in the backyard and I'll be there soon."
Since Second Uncle's recovery, she had moved back from the back mountain to the courtyard! So, she naturally asked Yun Xiao to wait for her in the backyard. Looking at her receding figure, Yun Xiao nodded in silence, knowing that Yun Luofeng was trying to allay the old general's anger.
...
In the majestic hall, a servant was kneeling down on the cold ground, trembling and suffering from the raging anger of the old man. Obviously, the old man was terribly angry. His old face was full of anger, and his eyes shone with ferocity. Beside him, a table was broken into two pieces, and tea was spilled all over the ground. It was totally a mess. Just when the old man was going to break out into cursing, a chuckling sound suddenly came and made him freeze.
"Who offended you when I wasn't here? The first thing I see when I come back is that you are getting mad?"
Her lazy voice was full of flattery. Hearing it, the old man stiffly raised his head and stared in shock at the girl standing at the door.
In the gentle breeze, a girl in a snow-white robe looked at the stunned old man with her smiling dark eyes, her arms crossed over her chest.
"Grandfather, I'm back."
She came back —
Finally, the old man recovered from his shock, and the first thing he did wasn't catching her in his arms to hug her or to say he was happy she came back but swearing.
"You darn girl, tell me honestly, where did you mess around these days? How dare you leave home without notice? Good! You have guts! You really have the God-damned guts! You are really a granddaughter worthy of me!"
Looking at her furious grandfather, Yun Luofeng cracked a smile.
"I went to the Liujin Kingdom to avenge my parents."
Her words made all the swear words disappear in the old man's throat. He stared at Yun Luofeng for a few seconds without a word and then asked as if he didn't hear it clearly.
"Did you just say you went out to avenge your parents?"
With a slight nod, Yun Luofeng waved away the servant kneeling down on the ground and turned her eyes to her grandfather. "I went to the Liujin Kingdom to find out the people behind my parent's death! Fortunately, I managed to find those people and kill them to avenge my parents."
Bang!
The old man stumbled and fell heavily on the sandalwood chair behind him. Sitting stock still for quite a while, he then suddenly burst into wild laughter.

Chapter 222:- Mu Shen's Arrival
While laughing, his tears flowed down uncontrolled as he emotionally said, "Yang'er, Ling'er, can you see this from the heavens? Those who caused your deaths have finally received their retribution! Hahaha!"
Taking revenge!
All these years, he didn't even dare to think of those two words. After all, the other party was the royal family of the Liujing Kingdom, whereas he was merely the general of an enemy kingdom, so how could he kill that dog Emperor and avenge his son and daughter-in-law?
However, he didn't expect that his own granddaughter had the capability to have killed that dog Emperor without anyone knowing!
"Feng'er, you've done well! You deserve to be a member of the Yun family!" The old general gnashed his teeth in extreme anger. "Back in those days, the Emperor of the Liujin Kingdom took a fancy to Ling'er and delusionally wanted us to hand her over! However, your father was a hot-blooded man. How could he allow his own wife to be humiliated by someone else? The Yun Family refused, but in an attempt to get Ling'er, Ye Dong that dog Emperor found an excuse to start a war with the Longyuan Kingdom!"
Right now, as long as he recalled the incident back in those days, the old general's heart was still filled with wrath.
"The Emperor of the Long Yuan Kingdom clearly knew that the Liujin Kingdom had initiated a war because of this, and even intentionally allowed Ling'er to follow Yun Yang to fight a battle!"
Yun Luofeng stayed silent for a long while before raising a question, as her hands lightly caressed her chin. "Considering Gao Tu's nature, I'm surprised that he didn't force my mother to remarry."
"Keke," the old general sneeringly laughed. "How could he not have? Based on that selfish personality of Gao Tu, how could he not have tried to force your mother to marry Ye Dong? However, the Yun Family isn't that easy to take advantage of! I can endure other things, but I will absolutely never allow the exchange of a woman's lifetime happiness for peace! If we did that, then why would our country still need men?"
The old general spoke in an extremely angry tone, "Furthermore, I had confidence in your parents! Based on their strength, it was impossible for them to lose the war! Who knew that the incident with Prime Minister Mu would happen afterward? Without Prime Minister Mu divulging secret information, your parents would not have died."
Yun Luo was a man, and even more so a man of indomitable spirit! Therefore, methods such as using a woman to connect by marriage were something he disdained!
In his opinion, countries were to be maintained through brute force, whereas only a coward would sacrifice a woman in exchange for a country's peace. For him, it was impossible for any hot-blooded man to do something like that!
"Grandfather," Yun Luofeng unhurriedly walked towards the old general and lightly laughed, "I've said this before. I will avenge my parents! Those from the Liujin Kingdom would be first, while Mu Xingchou would be second."
Whereas for the third, it would be the Bai Family who protects the Liujing Kingdom's royal family!
"Oh right." The old general seemed to have recalled something all of a sudden and spoke while frowning, "While you were gone, Mu Shen from the Mu Family came to look for you several times. I chased him out with the excuse that you were not at home."
Mu Shen, Mu Wushuang's half-brother! The top playboy son of rich parents in the Imperial City! Half a year ago, he had been bashed by the Yun Family's guards when he tried to make trouble for her on the streets! Later on, she conned him out of 50 million as a medical treatment fee.
However, ever since she went into seclusion, she hadn't seen Mu Shen. Exactly why would he come looking for her now?
While she was thinking, a servant hurriedly walked over and respectfully reported, "General, Miss, the Second Young Master of the Mu Family requests to meet you."
Hearing the servant's report, Yun Luofeng shrugged her shoulders. "We were just talking about him and here he is! Since he's here, then I will meet with him! I want to know why he came looking for me."

Chapter 223:- Mu Shen, A Wolf Hidden In The Dark
Sunlight poured down and covered every corner of the courtyard.
Currently, within the courtyard, Mu Shen was in the process of anxiously pacing back and forth. He was so nervous that he had clenched his hands into a fist, while urgency filled his eyes.
All of a sudden, a gorgeous figure was reflected in his eyes, causing him to reveal a stunned look. His heart was even fiercely stunned by this sight.
Ever since half a year ago, when this young lady had failed to commit suicide, she seemed to have turned into someone else entirely. Every time she appeared it was as if she had a halo over her, instantly attracting everyone's gaze.
"Yun Luofeng..."
As he lightly whispered these three words, Mu Shen's gaze was somewhat complicated. If it wasn't for this young lady, perhaps he would have been unable to carry on his ancestral line in this lifetime.
The young lady walked towards Mu Shen and gradually came to a stop. Her eyes contained a wicked yet charming hint of a smile as she languidly raised the corners of her lips. "For you to come looking for me, could it be that your body has some problems?"
Mu Shen's face turned red as he spoke like a subordinate, "No... It isn't... I came here to inform you of a matter. I had unintentionally heard a conversation between Mu Wushuang and Mu Xingchou. They are thinking of framing the incident of the Crown Prince's disappearance on you. I hope that you can make preparations for that."
Yun Luofeng devilishly raised her brows and asked while seemingly smiling, yet not smiling, "Why have you come to inform me of this?"
"Because I..." Mu Shen's facial expression was somewhat hesitant, but ultimately, he made up his mind and said, "I want to follow you."
"Give me a reason."
Yun Luofeng raised her eyes and stared directly at the youngster standing in front of her. "Give me a reason that will completely convince me."
Mu Shen's pupils looked down as he tightly clenched his fists. "I want to take revenge. To avenge my sister!"
At that time, when Mu Wushuang was facing charges at the city gates, one of the charges was killing her own half-sister! The sister whom she had killed was Mu Shen's younger sister!
"All these years, I have never once enjoyed a day in the Mu Family! I can only forever serve as a joke for Mu Wushuang's siblings." Mu Shen raised his head and a trace of hatred emerged from his gaze. "Miss Yun, I'm sure you're aware that I have been labeled as the top rich playboy son within the Imperial City. Do you think that I truly wanted to be this? Only by pretending to be a useless hedonistic son would those siblings lower their guard against me, so that I could continue being the Mu Family's Second Young Master!"
His hatred was like water gushing from a spring! His eyes were filled with a red blood-stained hate. He was like a wolf concealed within the darkness, such that if someone was just slightly careless, they would have their body torn and bones crushed!
The corner of Yun Luofeng's lips raised in an arc. She reckoned that the Mu Family would never think that Mu Shen had hidden himself so deeply.
All these years, it was the Mu Family who had provided for Mu Shen. At the same time, they had turned him into a wolf hidden in the dark, glaring at them like a tiger, watching his prey and preparing to dash forth and bite them!
"Mu Shen!" Yun Luofeng stared deeply at Mu Shen, "I will give you a chance to point a blade towards your enemies. Are you willing to grab onto it?"
Mu Shen's eyes shone and even his breathing became erratic. "I'm willing! As long as I can take revenge, I am willing to do anything you ask of me."
Within that unfeeling Mu Family, his sister had been his only warmth! Yet, even his last warmth had been personally snatched away by Mu Wushuang! This sort of hatred that had penetrated deep into his bones would only disappear following his enemy's death. Otherwise, it would follow him eternally!

Chapter 224:- Demanding For Someone
"Good, remember the words you've said today!"
Yun Luofeng's curved lips contained a wicked charming smile and her pair of black eyes were as clear as the pitch-black starry sky.
Just then, a grievous shout sounded from outside the main gates. After hearing that familiar voice, Yun Luofeng slightly narrowed her eyes and gave an order, "Mu Shen, leave from the back gate."
Mu Shen stared at her blankly. He also understood that at this moment he couldn't allow people to witness him and Yun Luofeng together. As such, he nodded his head in agreement without any resistance. "Alright."
"Take him out through the back gate."
Yun Luofeng causally pointed towards a servant maid and only took a step towards the main gate after ordering her to bring Mu Shen out.
Outside the main gate, it was bustling with activity. The masses had circled around while incessantly pointing towards the General Estate's main gate. Only after spotting the gorgeous young lady that stepped out did they immediately quiet down.
Yun Luofeng's eyes scanned the surroundings in a domineering manner, and only after seeing everyone had shut their mouths did her pair of dark eyes gradually turn towards Mu Wushuang.
*Pu Tong*
All of a sudden without any warning, Mu Wushuang knelt before her, and that breathtaking face was no longer graceful but was instead covered with tear stains that made her look pitiful.
"Why? Did you not kneel enough in front of my parent's graves at that time? Are you thinking of repenting in front of me? It's a pity, regardless of how remorseful you are, I will never forgive you." Yun Luofeng's brows raised slightly while directing a smile that did not seem like a smile towards Mu Wushuang.
At this very moment, Mu Wushuang had long slaughtered Yun Luofeng inside her heart a thousand times over. However, her facial expression was like a pear stained with teardrops, making one feel tenderness towards her.
"Yun Luofeng, I'm aware of my mistakes, I truly know my mistakes! I should never have fallen in love with the Crown Prince! However, if it weren't for you being a waste, the Crown Prince would never fall for me! Regardless of whatever resentment you have, you can vent it on me. I only beg you to return the Crown Prince to me!"
Yun Luofeng crossed her hands over her chest and leaned against the door frame, looking like she was waiting to see a good show.
"Do you think that a person like the Crown Prince is worth my trouble to kidnap?"
Mu Wushuang tightly bit her lips as a trace of ruthlessness flashed across her eyes, but her voice was still using a begging tone. "The Crown Prince came requesting to be treated, and you said that if he was willing to accompany you a few nights, you would agree to treat his illness! The Crown Prince personally told me this, and to let him recover his spiritual energy, I endured it! However, I didn't expect that he would disappear for several months, so I had no other alternative but to look for you!"
She did not say that Yun Luofeng had threatened the Crown Prince to make him take her as his wife, but instead that she had coerced the Crown Prince to accompany her a few nights!
The difference between these two was, the former fully revealed Yun Luofeng's desire for power, while the latter illustrated her as a slut!
To be able to say words like accompanying her for a few nights, if she wasn't a slut then what was she?
Yun Luofeng raised the corner of her lips as her figure was languid yet charming. "Mu Wushuang, not everyone would be interested in a cheap person like the Crown Prince! To be honest, regardless of his looks or his figure, he's far inferior compared to my Yun Xiao! Would I leave an alluring pastry like Yun Xiao to taste a heap of pig food?"
Mu Wushuang raised her beautiful eyes in astonishment. This woman... dared to associate the Crown Prince with pig food?
For men, women were only an accessory! Wasn't there a saying that women were like clothes? However, she had actually used food as a metaphor for men, and used words like sampling?

Chapter 225:- Heading Towards Bamboo House to Look at the Crown Prince (1)
Mu Wushuang was unable to believe that this woman was actually that shameless to say these words without being ashamed.
"Yun Luofeng, you..." Mu Wushuang pointed towards Yun Luofeng, "can you still be considered an unmarried daughter of a noble house?"
Yun Luofeng slightly raised her brows. "My apologies, I'm only the hedonistic daughter of a wealthy family. Words like an unmarried daughter of a noble house don't suit me."
Everyone said that the Miss of the Yun Family was a hedonistic person! That being the case, she was going to even more thoroughly act like one.
Spotting that stoic man walking out from the main gates, Yun Luofeng's lips curved up as she tightly grasped his arms and pushed him towards the wall, before tiptoeing and kissing his ice-cold lips.
He stared blankly, but he did not resist her kiss and instead, raised his arms to embrace her body. His cold yet handsome face was shrouded in a faint radiance under the sunlight.
It was so beautiful that one was unable to shift their gaze.
Looking at these two who were kissing, everyone only felt that it was so beautiful, like a masterpiece that wouldn't make one think of it as obscene.
Mu Wushuang's pair of beautiful eyes were wide open and she only managed to prevent a shout by hastily covering her mouth. No matter what, she never thought that Yun Luofeng would kiss a man in a public place with numerous people.
Especially if that man was a lowly bodyguard!
After their kiss ended, Yun Luofeng released the man in front of her, as her slender long fingers lightly lifted the other party's chin while revealing a wicked smile."Yun Xiao, earlier Mu Wushuang said that I used treating the Crown Prince as a bargaining chip to threaten him to accompany me for a few nights. Do you think that I would have any interest in this person?"
Yun Xiao slightly furrowed his brow as his unfeeling gaze swept past Mu Wushuang who was kneeling. "He's too ugly."
He was implying that, based on the Crown Prince's looks, it was impossible for Yun Luofeng to be interested.
Mu Wushuang's expression suddenly changed. "Originally within the Imperial Palace, you were shooting me meaningful glances, but just because I wasn't willing to spare you a glance, your love turned into hatred! Thus, you started fooling around with Yun Luofeng! I reckon that only she would be willing to degrade herself to sleep with a bodyguard! So what right do you have as a mere bodyguard to insult the Crown Prince?"
If this was in the past, everyone would believe Mu Wushuang's words without any doubt. However, ever since that day when she had confessed her crimes at the city gates, the masses knew that this young lady who usually seemed graceful and calm wasn't actually so.
As such, the masses who were surrounding them only had the attitude of wanting to look at a good show concerning her words.
"You are also too ugly."
Yun Xiao paused for a second before continuing to speak. "Both of you are a couple made for each other."
"You..."
Mu Wushuang gnashed her teeth in anger. This was the second time that Yun Xiao had insulted her by calling her ugly! How could a woman who had always considered herself as a peerless beauty be able to endure this?
"Since you think that the Crown Prince's disappearance is unrelated to you, then you two better provide some evidence as proof! Otherwise, I will absolutely never let you off!"
She unhurriedly stood up from the ground as her hands were tightly grasped into a fist. At this moment, her elegant face revealed a sinister expression.
Regardless if the matter of Crown Prince was related to Yun Luofeng or not, she would definitely frame this matter on her! After all, this woman was absolutely unable to come up with any evidence of her innocence!
Yun Xiao pondered for a long while before speaking. "Regarding his whereabouts, everyone within the four countries knows where he is."
Mu Wushuang laughed sarcastically. "You say that everyone within the four countries knows of the Crown Prince's whereabouts, so why are we unaware? If you were going to find an alibi, it should at least be believable! With just one sentence of yours, you want to prove Yun Luofeng's innocence?"
