Chapter 1141:- The Unruly and Domineering Ji Jiutian (5)
Yun Luofeng gently stroked her chin. Did she really look like someone who discarded a person after a dalliance? It looked like she did need to arrange her wedding with Yun Xiao soon.
However, what made her helpless was that she had no idea where Yun Xiao currently was...
"Master, you've already eaten Yun Xiao clean, you mustn't become the monster that Grandfather speaks of who forgets someone as soon as she pulls up her pants!"
If Yun Luofeng met another man, he would not be so worried. But the man in front of them was too strong, to the point that he could not assess his strength clearly...
So how could he not be worried for Yun Xiao? What if this man poached Master while Yun Xiao was not by her side? As a loyal supporter of Yun Xiao, he must be ready to remind Master to not be bewitched by the seductive minx.
After all, a good man like Yun Xiao was truly extinct...
Yun Luofeng did not pay attention to Xiao Mo and was pondering how she would arrange their marriage the next time she saw Yun Xiao! This would deter everyone from thinking she's a monster who forgot about someone as soon as she pulled up her pants...
Recalling Yun Xiao's cold and perfect face, the corner of Yun Luofeng's lips could not resist slightly turning up.
It had been several months since she saw him... she truly missed him.
I wonder how Yun Xiao is doing...
...
On another continent, in an unknown valley, a man appeared to feel the longing from the distance and looked up at the azure sky. His cold face slowly melted, and an imperceptible smile crept onto his lips.
"It has almost been a month. At his speed, Qin Yuan should reach the Land of No Return soon."
...
Inside a luxurious estate, a group of finely dressed maidservants rushed out upon seeing Ji Jiutian return. Instantly, they handed him tea and massaged his shoulders in one breath, each servant having a clearly defined task.
Ji Jiutian accepted the tea from a maidservant and took a sip. His brows wrinkled, and he harshly smashed the teacup onto the floor, spitting out the tea in his mouth as well.
"Who boiled the tea today! There are too little tea leaves, it's not bitter or fragrant enough, the tea preparation process is missing a step. Also, who allowed you to use yesterday's tea leaves? This lord only drinks fresh tea leaves!"
The maidservants all plopped onto the floor in unison, trembling. "My lord, something came up the master responsible for tea making and he returned home. This one was recently hired, so he made an error. Please forgive us, my lord."
"Forget it. This lord's mood is good today, so this lord will spare him." Ji Jiutian's brows smoothed. "Butler, send someone to clean the bedroom next to this lord's room and settle Miss Yun in there."
Hearing this, the maidservants all wiped the cold sweat from their forehead.
Their lord enjoyed drinking tea, and the first thing he did every day when he returned to the estate was tea tasting. However, their lord was extremely picky, and if he was the slightest bit unsatisfied, it wouldn't be as simple as a mere punishment.
But why did their lord easily let off that tea brewing master today? Could it be due to the girl that their lord brought back?
The maidservants all glanced at Yun Luofeng out of the corner of their eyes, stunned. They had never seen a woman as beautiful as her. And standing next to their lord, they looked like an ideal couple, matchless in the world!
Yun Luofeng evilly smiled. "Ji Jiutian, you like to drink tea?"
"Tea, alcohol, this lord can't do without either." Ji Jiutian uninhibitedly declared.
Yun Luofeng smiled but did not say anything and followed the butler's lead. Qingyan and the others also hurried to follow and headed for the courtyard.

Chapter 1142:- The Unruly and Domineering Ji Jiutian (6)
Deep in the night
As soon as Yun Luofeng pushed open the door, she saw Ji Jiutian sitting in her room, his hand gently swishing a small cup of alcohol.
"Don't you know the proper behavior between men and women? Why did you come into my room in the middle of the night?" She lazily leaned against the door frame and watched the man sitting inside the room with a faint smile.
The man had his lapels half opened, revealing tempting snow-white skin. Under the luminescence of the moonlight, his skin emitted a seductive sheen.
It had to be said that the man truly had the qualities to bewitch a person, his every frown and smile carried a seductive air.
"Your hand has a problem?" Ji Jiutian asked with raised brows as he glanced at Yun Luofeng's right hand.
Yun Luofeng was startled and subconsciously stroked her palm, her smile unchanging. "That day, because I forcefully raised my strength, I crippled my right hand."
If her right hand was merely crippled by a serious injury, there was no doubt she could treat it with her medical skills. Yet, this was the consequence of forcefully raising her strength, so even Xiao Mo might not know how to treat it...
"This lord knows something that could fix your arm." Ji Jiutian glanced at Yun Luofeng. "The holy water from the Saintly Virgin Tribe can reconstruct your bones and nerves, and your arm can heal without treatment."
Holy water?
Yun Luofeng started. Hearing these two words, she suddenly remembered the holy water that she got from Lin Ruobai's father.
They were both holy water, but she knew full well that the holy water in her possession did not have the ability to reconstruct the bones and nerves.
"Where is the Saintly Virgin Tribe located?" Yun Luofeng asked with a frown.
"Don't you have someone from the Saintly Virgin Tribe by your side?" Ji Jiutian slowly stood up with an enticingly evil smile. "That's all this lord will say. If you want to cure your arm, you can only rely on your own hard work. This lord won't help you."
He would provide the clues for her but would not help her.
Yun Luofeng was about to ask out loud but Ji Jiutian's figure had already disappeared in the air.
The room was silent except for the sound of the night breeze brushing by. It was as though the seductive man who sat in the room just now was never there to begin with...
"Xiao Mo, what is the Saintly Virgin Tribe?" Yun Luofeng asked after a moment of silence, gently caressing her chin.
It took a long time before Xiao Mo's voice was heard.
"I have once heard that the Saintly Virgin Tribe is a very mysterious tribe! Any woman chosen to enter the tribe isn't allowed to marry. The Saintly Virgin Tribe was very powerful back then, but I don't know their current situation. However, I can tell you that the Saintly Virgin Tribe is not located in the Land of No Return..."
"Xiao Mo, he said someone from the Saintly Virgin Tribe is by my side, do you know who he was talking about?"
"This..." Xiao Mo hesitated for a second. "Master, if you want to cure your arm, you don't absolutely need the holy water from the Saintly Virgin Tribe. I have other methods that can help you! You just need to give me time! There's nothing in the world that I can't do."
Xiao Mo's voice was brimming with confidence. He clearly did not want Yun Luofeng to have contact with the Saintly Virgin Tribe.
Yun Luofeng naturally heard the meaning in his words and chuckled. "You don't want me to find the Saintly Virgin Tribe?"
"Yes," Xiao Mo honestly answered. "The women from the Saintly Virgin Tribe are really strange. If they take a fancy to you and demand you to join the Saintly Virgin Tribe, what would happen to Yun Xiao then? Master, give me time, and I will think of a solution. I absolutely won't allow you to acquaint yourself with those people."

Chapter 1143:- Physicians Competition (1)
The Physicians Competition was held inside the City Lord's Estate, so the whole estate was bustling with people.
As soon as Yun Luofeng entered the main hall of the City Lord's Estate, she caught sight of Lin You beaming from everyone's compliments.
Lin You also saw Yun Luofeng, a malicious light flashing through his eyes, and his lips turned up with mocking smile. "Yun Luofeng, I didn't expect you to dare to come here for real! Since you have entered my territory, no one can help you anymore."
His teeth were tightly clenched with hatred, and when he thought of everything that Yun Luofeng did to him, he wished nothing more than to shred her into pieces. Unfortunately, Yun Luofeng had an invitation in her hand, so he could not kick this girl out.
"Yun Luofeng," a brisk voice called out from Yun Luofeng's side.
She turned her head and found a girl in green robes walking toward her. The girl was not considered terribly gorgeous, and her beauty was a bit particular but gave people an oddly comfortable feeling. Her hair fell behind her back like a waterfall, and she had a friendly and cordial smile on her face and bright, spirited eyes.
Qing Mu glanced at the girl walking over and whispered to Yun Luofeng, "She is Princess Qingshuang from the Liuyue Empire. I didn't expect her to participate in the Physicians Competition as well."
Princess Qingshuang? Yun Luofeng recalled who Princess Qingshuang was after a moment.
She had sent someone with congratulations at Second Uncle's wedding that day. This was how Yun Luofeng knew of the legendary Princess Qingshuang.
Princess Qingshuang faintly smiled. "I originally wanted to go meet you myself that day, but something suddenly came up, so I could only send someone there instead. I hope you didn't take offense."
She paused briefly before continuing, "This time, I knew you would participate in the Physicians Competition, so I came here with the purpose of meeting you."
"Meet me?" Yun Luofeng's brows climbed up and her lips had a smile. "Why did you want to meet me?"
"I merely wanted to know what type of person was the girl who stole the limelight in the Inter-Kingdom tournament. Now that I have seen you, you are just as I imagined."
As the two people conversed, a chuckle drifted from the side. "Princess Qingshuang, I didn't expect you to see Miss Yun first, I was a step later than you."
The words were accompanied by a man stepping out from the crowd. He was dressed in magnificent brocade robes, confident and handsome with a smile on his face.
"Your Highness An Lan." Qing Mu nodded in greeting after he saw An Lan.
An Lan nodded before turning his sight onto Yun Luofeng with a smile. "Miss Yun, long time no see."
This man was Prince An Lan of the Wushuang Empire who she met at the Inter-kingdom Tournament, as well as the person who helped Qing Mu and the others leave the Tianhui Empire.
In truth, she did not have many feelings toward An Lan. It was Princess Qingshuang who gave her a more comfortable feeling instead.
"Everyone, welcome to the Physicians Competition held by our family." Lin You dryly coughed, clearing his throat, and said. "I will be conducting the Physicians Competition this time and the Soul Fruit will also be awarded by me in the end."
In other words, he was the one in charge of the Physicians Competition, and since Yun Luofeng and Ji Jiutian offended him, they would never get the Soul Fruit in their lifetime.
.
.
.
Chapter 1144:- Physicians Competition (2)
What was laughable was that he still had no clue he was only able to host the Physicians Competition because of Ji Jiutian's secret backing. It was precisely because he knew nothing that he would commit an irrevocable error in the end.
"Our Family Head of the Ji Family respects physicians the most, which is why we held this Physicians Competition. Our goal is to unearth exceptional prodigies from the pool of physicians. However, our family head doesn't pay attention to outside matters, so anyone, as long as they are a doctor, can receive his invitation. This allowed some people to slip through and obtain the chance to participate in the Physicians Competition despite their lack of moral integrity."
As Lin You said this, his eyes kept drifting toward Yun Luofeng, obviously referring to Yun Luofeng.
Thinking about Lin You's dispute with Yun Luofeng on the street, everyone's gaze turned to her simultaneously with pity and sympathy in their eyes. Offending Lin You was the same as offending the Ji Family. The rest of her days would not pass smoothly.
"What? You offended someone from the Ji Family?" An Lan had his brows slightly raised as he looked at Yun Luofeng. "It looks like you easily cause trouble everywhere. You first offended the Tianhui Empire at the Inter-kingdom Tournament, and now you offended the Ji Family here. It looks like you will attract a group of enemies regardless of where you go."
Yun Luofeng shrugged with helplessness on her face. "I don't want to be enemies with anyone either, but these people just like to seek me out."
Her words were not too loud but just happened to reach everyone's ears.
Lin You grew angrier, his eyes unwaveringly staring at Yun Luofeng. If someone unaware saw his gaze, they would think Yun Luofeng and he had an absolutely irreconcilable enmity.
Suddenly, the entire main hall quieted down, everyone's eyes shot toward the door at the unrivaled, magnificent man outside the door.
This man was breathtakingly beautiful. The red dot between his brows made him appear enchanting, and his lapels were half opened. His snow-white skin emitted a pure white glow, extremely dazzling.
Inside the main hall, the unmarried girls' eyes revealed how stunned they were, their eyes pinned on the unworldly man like hungry wolves. If they did not want to maintain their propriety, perhaps they would have already thrown themselves at him.
The man ignored everyone's gaze and walked over to Yun Luofeng.
"Why didn't you wait for me?" he asked as he unblinkingly stared at Yun Luofeng.
Yun Luofeng smiled. "Why should I wait for you?"
Ji Jiutian's voice instantly dropped off, and helplessness entered his features. He at least took her in, but she came to the Physicians Competition without a word, completely abandoning him.
Watching their interaction, the eyes of all the girls landed on Yun Luofeng with rage, jealousy, and malice leaking through their eyes. Their expression was as though they wished nothing more than to drill two holes into Yun Luofeng's face through staring. Let's see how she will seduce men in the future without her looks.
Lin You did not look too happy either. He coldly glanced at them before looking away, a sneer rising on his lips. "The Ji Family invited everyone here to participate in the Physicians Competition today, I hope unrelated people will swiftly leave."
He did not say this to Yun Luofeng and was looking at the alluring Ji Jiutian instead. Yun Luofeng possesses an invitation, so he could not do anything about her, but could he not kick this man out as well?
No matter how strong he was, he would not have the guts to be enemies with the Ji Family.
.

Chapter 1145:- Physicians Competition (3)
Ji Jiutian smiled and sat down with a brush of his sleeves under everyone's eyes, his red, seductive robe gently fluttering with the breeze. He supported his cheeks with his fist, his features giving off an indescribable alluring air.
"This lord will stay here today. This lord would like to see who dares to make me leave." This man's voice was unruly and domineering, his cutting eyes sweeping across everyone before landing on Lin You with raised brows. "You're merely a nobody, but you actually have the guts to be insolent in front of this lord!"
"I'm part of the Ji Family!" Lin You straightened his neck and unyieldingly said, "If you do anything to me, you will become enemies with the Ji Family. Are you truly unafraid of death?"
Ji Family? Ji Jiutian laughed. If he did not want to leave this old man to Yun Luofeng, perhaps he would have already covered the venue with his blood.
"Do you think you can scare me by mentioning the Ji Family?" The man slightly raised his slender hand. At that moment, Lin You felt his breathing halt, as though the man could choke him to death the moment he raised his hand.
"Get lost from hosting the competition!" The movement of the man's red lips was minute, but his voice was incomparably imposing. More than that, his words revealed his complete lack of consideration for the Ji Family.
Everyone was astonished, trying to guess what identity he possibly could have to be able to say such arrogant words.
Lin You resentfully glanced at Ji Jiutian as he walked to his seat. But before he could be seated, the man's haughty voice interrupted him.
"Get lost!"
Lin You's steps paused and he furiously turned to glare at the man. "What else do you want!"
"That is my seat. You have no right to sit in it!" Ji Jiutian's lips turned up with a bloodthirsty smile. A murderous glint flickered through his dark eyes.
"Don't go overboard!" Lin You trembled from anger. "This is the territory of my Ji Family!"
The City Lord's Estate of Spirit City was brought by the Ji Family for today's Physician Competition. Hence, in Lin You's mind, the highest seat in the main hall logically belonged to him!
"You don't deserve it!"
Those four prideful words turned Lin You deathly white. He had only been humiliated twice in his lifetime. The first time was being kicked out of the Physician Tower by Yun Luofeng in front of everyone. The second time was now!
Without waiting for Lin You to shake his anger off, the man already stood up, and his figure instantly arrived at the principal seat like a flash of red light.
He was jolting to the heart as he magnificently sat there with his red clothes. His hand still supported his head, a murderous glint twinkling in his eyes. He slowly spoke under everyone's stare.
"This lord merely came here for the excitement. You may continue. This lord will only watch and won't say anything."
The pressure given off by this man was too intense. Their back could not help but be drenched with sweat, and no one dared to say anything. The main hall was so silent that the sole sound was from people breathing.
Lin You tightly clenched his fists, and unwillingly sat down on a seat below him, viciousness flashing through his icy eyes.
After the competition ends, Family Head will appear. The man's death will dawn as soon as Family Head appears. He will allow the man to gloat for now...
"Everyone, I welcome you the Medical Conference held by the Ji Family." Lin You said with an insincere smile, "We created countless problems for the competition this time, and these problems are already posted on the wall. You can begin answering in a moment. The more problems you solve, the higher your possibility of becoming the winner of this competition."
.
.
.
Chapter 1146:- Physicians Competition (4)
Lin You briefly paused before continuing, "Of course, to prevent some people from randomly answering, our Ji Family will inspect everyone's answers at the end! If you answered wrong for more than two problems, it will be judged as a failure. I hope everyone will answer with discretion."
As he said this, a smile entered Lin You's face.
These problems were all extremely difficult, so not many people could answer them, and they also could not answer them wrong. If they answered more than two wrong, it would be determined as a fail.
Hence, who cares how talented Yun Luofeng was at medicine? As long as he determined her to have failed, then the Soul Fruit was not fated to be hers.
Hahaha!
Thinking about this, Lin You madly laughed inside his mind, and the viciousness in his eyes strengthened.
Yun Luofeng, this is your price for kicking me out of the Physician Tower that day. If you knelt down and apologized yesterday, perhaps I would have forgiven you. But you just had to be so arrogant! Hence, don't blame me for being merciless!
...
As soon as Lin You said this, all the physicians walked to the white wall without wasting a single second.
Currently, the wall was already posted with problems. After seeing them, everyone grew silent, deep in contemplation.
"Miss Yun." Qingshuang glanced at Yun Luofeng with a large smile. "I am eagerly looking forward to your performance."
This time, if it were not for the chance to meet Yun Luofeng, she would not rush here from the Liuyue Empire. At the same time, she also believed that Yun Luofeng absolutely would not disappoint her.
Seeing that everyone had already reached the wall, Yun Luofeng also slowly walked over. She casually grabbed a pen and wrote down the answer to a problem on the paper. Her pen smoothly flew over the paper and quickly answered one, then she walked to another problem.
The silent main hall became quieter. The people pondering over the problem all turned their gaze toward Yun Luofeng with astonishment in their eyes.
"What is the origin of this girl? How come she can answer without thinking?"
"I think I have heard of her. She is the Tower Master of the Physician Tower. Rumors say that her Physician Tower had a lot of texts that have never existed on this continent. Hence, it's not odd that she can answer these questions."
Everyone whispered among themselves.
It was not long before someone recovered their wits and hastily said, "Let's hurry, there's not much time left. If we try our luck, perhaps we can answer one or two questions."
If they wasted any more time, Yun Luofeng would answer all of the problems...
The rules of the competition were that regardless of whether the person's answer was right or wrong, as long as they wrote it down, other people could no longer answer it.
Hence, without wasting any second, these people soon started fought over each other, using a pen to write down their answer on the papers.
Minutes and seconds passed, and eventually, dusk fell, the rays of the sunset covering the sky.
Eventually, all the problems had an answer. Lin You gently stroked his chin as he absentmindedly looked over the answers. The more he looked, the more unsightly he turned.
All of the questions that Yun Luofeng answered had straight penmanship and detailed procedures, not a single problem could be found. Even a single incorrectly written character did not exist.
However, the answers to these questions were only obtained after the discussion and careful deliberation of the countless elders of Ji Family. Yun Luofeng though, she managed to write these answers down like flowing water without even thinking. Just how much knowledge was contained in her head in order for her to be so well-versed?
No! This won't do! He absolutely could not allow Yun Luofeng to win!
.
.
.
Chapter 1147:- Physicians Competition (5)
Thankfully, the Ji Family had him host the competition alone, and there were no other elders present. As long as he judged Yun Luofeng's answers as wrong, who would dare to say they were correct?!
"Cough, cough." Lin You dryly coughed, clearing his throat, and stated with a dark expression, "Time is up. Everyone, put down your pen. I will check your answers now."
He had his hands behind his back and put on an act of walking forward and looking over the problems on the paper.
"Princess Qingshuang, answered a total of five questions with a 100% correct rate."
"His Highness An Lan, answered a total of five question but wrote one incorrectly! His correct rate is 80%!"
"Lin Qi answered a total of three questions..."
Lin You skimmed over everyone's question and obtained an answer in succession. Towards the end, he had called out the results of everyone who answered the questions, except for Yun Luofeng, whose name had never left his mouth.
Yun Luofeng was not impatient at all, and her face remained placid with a wicked glint in her smiling eyes. She lazily leaned against a nearby pillar and watched the dark-faced Lin You with a smile.
Perhaps sensing her gaze, Lin You subconsciously glanced at her and said with a cold smile, "Yun Luofeng, answered 20 questions!"
20 questions, it already surpassed the sum of the other people's amount. Instantly, everyone looked up and directed their gaze at Yun Luofeng.
Compared to the result of the competition, they were more interested in knowing the correct rate of Yun Luofeng...
Under everyone's anxious waiting, Lin You continued slowly saying, "The error rate is 90%."
Boom!
Commotion stirred the crowd. In an instant, everyone's gazes went from its initial curiosity to shock, as though not believing Lin You's words.
The error rate was 90%? Is he sure that was the error rate and not the correct rate?
In other words, within the 20 problems that she answered, she answered 18 wrong?
"I knew this woman was merely an embroidered pillow without a single use!" A girl snorted and glanced with Yun Luofeng with mockery. "What use was it that she answered so many problems when most of them were wrong?"
The girl's voice was brimming with jealousy, evidently still angry about Ji Jiutian's earlier familiarity with Yun Luofeng. Hence, her words were completely devoid of cordiality.
"Yun Luofeng, I didn't expect your medical skills to be garbage to this degree." Lin You slightly tipped his head up and derisively commented, "You clearly don't know anything but still pretend to be profoundly knowledgeable and did not bother stopping to think before writing down so many answers. If you aren't fooling me, what is it? I advise you to return to the womb to be remolded so that you will stop humiliating yourself."
No one would doubt Lin You's words at a time like this. After all, in their minds, Lin You did not have to guts to cheat in public. Moreover, they all say the speed that Yun Luofeng answered the questions just now. If it were not made up, how could she be so quick?
Ji Jiutian slightly narrowed his eyes and looked at the white-robed girl with a smile on his lips. He did not think to extract her from trouble, he instead wanted to know how she will prove herself.
A smile spread over Yun Luofeng's lips as she looked at Lin You. "You are certain I answered 18 questions wrong?"
"That's right." Lin You raised his head and puffed out his chest. "I possess a copy of the correct answers. I compared it and generated this conclusion."
.
.

Chapter 1148:- Physicians Competition (6)
Yun Luofeng extended her hand at Lin You.
"What are you doing?" Lin You coldly glanced at Yun Luofeng and asked, displeased.
"The answers." Yun Luofeng said with a grin.
Lin You's expression shifted, and he pointed at his head. "The answers are already inside my head."
"Since it's like that, then how can you prove that my answers were wrong?" Yun Luofeng's smile was languid yet evil. "Who can prove that you aren't using your position to avenge your personal enmities?"
"Haha!" Lin You madly chuckled. "Using my position to avenge my personal enmities? If I wanted to deal with you, it wouldn't need to be in this type of setting. Do you think you have the ability to match the Ji Family? I just need to say an order, and you would lose your life here! However, I, Lin You, have always requited evil with good. Regardless of how cruel you treat me, it's beneath me to act against a girl like you!"
His words were full of righteousness. In other people's ears, Yun Luofeng shockingly became someone petty. He, on the other hand, found it disdainful to act against a child even if he was publicly humiliated by Yun Luofeng.
"Let me ask you something. If I can verify that I did not answer these 18 questions wrong, what are you willing to offer?" Yun Luofeng slightly narrowed her dark eyes, a dangerous glint flashing through them. Her chin was slightly raised, displaying her naturally brazen character.
"Impossible, my judgment couldn't have been wrong. If you can truly verify that your answers were fine, then I will kowtow several times at you," Lin You said with a shake of his head.
Verify? How could she verify it? He was the only one in charge of this medical competition, so how could he be cautious about a little girl?
"In truth, it would be easy to prove it..." An eerie smile crept onto Yun Luofeng's face.
Lin You was unable to react before the girl suddenly raised her leg and sent him flying back.
"You..." Lin You furiously raised his head but saw that the girl was already in front of him.
She stepped on his chest with one leg and haughtily picked off the space ring on his hand. His wicked eyes were permeated with iciness, making people shiver without feeling cold.
"Remove the restriction on the space ring!"
Lin You's face drained of colors with a swish, and panic also appeared in his eyes. "What do you want? This space ring contains my treasures from over the years, I absolutely can't give it to you! Someone, come and seize this woman for me!"
Lin You never expected Yun Luofeng to actually have the guts to raise her hand toward him in public. He underestimated her.
Instantly, all the guards of the Ji Family swiftly pulled out their weapons and were about to charge toward Yun Luofeng.
"Miss Yun, deal with him without worry. My Liujin Empire will handle the other people from the Ji Family." At a time like this, Princess Qingshuang honorably chose Yun Luofeng's side without any hesitation and blocked everyone from the Ji Family.
An Lan smiled. "Princess Qingshuang has already acted, how can I turn a blind eye to this? Other people are afraid of the Ji Family, but our Wushuang Empire never cowers!"
He slowly walked to Princess Qingshuang's side with a smile on his handsome face. "If you want to get near Miss Yun, then you must defeat the strong cultivators of my Wushuang Empire."
Instantly, several figures flew over from far away and stood behind An Lan. Those people icily stared at the Ji Family guards.
Lin You's face was deathly pale. "Yun Luofeng, do you truly not fear Ji Family?"
"I heard..." Yun Luofeng ignored his question. "That if I want to make a space ring change its owner, I either have the original owner remove the restriction or I make the original owner die! Once you die, I can take out everything inside the space ring."
.

Chapter 1149:- Ji Jiutian's Identity (1)
Killing intent rushed out of the girl and surrounded Lin You. He could clearly feel that Yun Luofeng was ready to kill.
This girl did not care about the Ji Family at all! More than that, his own life was nothing in her eyes. Under force, Lin You could only spitefully remove the restriction on the space ring, and his resentful gaze unwaveringly lingered on Yun Luofeng.
Yun Luofeng waved her hand and a scroll appeared in her palm. She handed the scroll to Princess Qingshuang and said with raised brows, "I will trouble you to help me check the answers."
Witnessing Yun Luofeng pull the scroll from Lin You's ring and hearing her words, Princess Qingshuang was taken aback before understanding flickered through her eyes. She quickly stepped to the front of the wall and laid the scroll open.
As she compared the answers that Yun Luofeng wrote, her shock increased, and her face became more livid. "The twenty answers are... all correct!"
The correct rate was 100%! No wonder Princess Qingshuang looked so livid.
Lin You cheated too far. Yun Luofeng clearly answered them completely correct, more detailed than the scroll even, but he actually judged her error rate to be 90%!
How could Princess Qingshuang, who had always detested evils, tolerate this?
Following the recent shock, the crowd was profoundly stunned again.
"She answered all 20 questions correct? Why did Lin You judge that she had 18 incorrect?
"He's clearly using his official position to avenge personal grievances! The Ji Family's competition would actually be so unfair!"
Instantly, everyone's gaze gathered onto Lin You. No one would have anticipated that Lin You would cheat at a time like that!
"Hoho!" Lin You snorted and slowly stood up. He flicked the dust from his clothes, and mockery danced through his features. "Yun Luofeng, so what if you answered the questions? I am in charge of the Soul Fruit. If I don't give it to you, then you will never obtain it!"
He did not attach importance to Yun Luofeng at all. With Ji Family's protection, why should he be cautious about a tiny Physician Tower?
Bang!
Yun Luofeng raised her leg again and fiercely aimed it at Lin You's chest. She put a lot of force behind her kick, and everyone could hear the sound of cracking bones as the figure flew back and landed on the ground in a heap.
He puked out mouthful after mouthful of blood and intently glared at Yun Luofeng with murderous eyes.
Quiet... the whole hall was absolutely silent. Everyone gazed steadily at Yun Luofeng, stunned awe bursting from their gazes.
Although Lin You cheated, he was at least from the Ji Family, but Yun Luofeng actually had the nerve to beat him up?
An Lan shook his head and commented with a helpless smile, "She was the same back at the Inter-kingdom Tournament and never allowed herself to eat a loss! Anyone who made her eat a loss, she would seek it back a thousandfold."
Princess Qingshuang did not speak and silently watched Yun Luofeng. A faint light sparkled from the bottom of her eyes as her lips turned up imperceptibly. Perhaps she truly did not misjudge her...
This girl was very special.
"Yun Luofeng! You won't end well!" Lin You harshly uttered, fuming with rage between gritted teeth. "You certainly won't have a good end in the future!"
"I'm afraid you won't know whether I will end well or not." Yun Luofeng stepped on his chest and looked down with a smile. "Lin You, I gave you a chance. But you just had to be enemies with me! I, Yun Luofeng, will eat anything in my life, except losses!"
.
.
.
Chapter 1150:- Ji Jiutian's Identity (2)
Her spirited features were bold and confident as she domineeringly said that.
She would eat anything in my life, except losses!
Ji Jiutian had his head tilted slightly, looking imposing and unruly. This caused the gazes of the girls around him to linger on his exceptional face now and then. Ji Jiutian appeared to not detect anything, and his phoenix shape eyes continued to stare at Yun Luofeng. The interest in them intensified, and the smile on his lips turned bigger too.
...
"Yun Luofeng, I'm part of the Ji Family!" Lin You mentioned Ji Family again, wanting to remind Yun Luofeng that if he died in her hands, the Ji Family certainly would not let her off easily.
However, Yun Luofeng continued to slowly press closer to Lin You. The abyss in her eyes was completely placid, and an icily evil smile was donned on her face.
At that moment, Lin You felt like Yun Luofeng was a grim reaper who climbed out of Hell, able to collect his life whenever.
"Do you still remember your earlier words? If I can prove all of my answers were correct, you would kowtow and admit your mistake."
Lin You exclaimed between clenched teeth, "Preposterous!"
Bang!
He just got up when Yun Luofeng's leg curved and kicked the back of Lin You's knee. Caught off guard, Lin You kneeled in front of Yun Luofeng with a bang, and sweat dripped down due to his pain.
"Since you knelt down, I can spare your life..." Yun Luofeng slightly raised her chin and haughtily said, "However, to prevent you from seeking any further trouble from me, I will cripple your strength."
Lin You looked up at the beaming girl, dumbstruck, an icy feeling burrowing into his heart.
No! He cried out in his heart and darted out of the hall.
Currently, immense regret festered in his heart. Why didn't he bring any strong cultivators here? If he did, he would not end up in Yun Luofeng's hands.
Perhaps even until he died, Lin You would not realize that Ji Jiutian purposely sent a group of weak guards to him for this fight.
"The Family Head of the Ji Family is here!"
Suddenly, a loud voice was heard from outside the City Lord's Estate. When he heard this, Lin You's face changed from its initial panic to surprise. His steps halted, and he madly broke into laughter. "Family Head is here, Yun Luofeng, you will die this time for certain!"
Ji Jiutian's brows wrinkled as he coldly watched the man stepping inside the City Lord's Estate, fury boiling in his eyes.
Cold sweat drenched the hidden Tian Luo due to his fright. Why did Family Head come? It's over! Family Head must have incited his lord this time. If his lord gets angry, he might do away with the family head in a fit of anger!
At this time, outside the courtyard enveloped by the rays of the setting sun, a man wearing a long, cyan robe slowly walked in.
The man had a tall figure with a feminine face, his skin was fair like jade, and his lips were red like blood. If it were not for his Adam's apple faintly sticking out, perhaps no one would think he was a man!
Compared to Ji Jiutian's exceptionally seductive looks, this man gave people a gentle feeling of beauty.
Leading a group of people, he majestically entered the main hall.
Of course, his person was like his name, the Family Head of the Ji Family was named Ji Lan. Pure and noble like an orchid, resembling a woman.
"Family Head of the Ji Family? Heavens! He's the Family Head of the Ji Family? He is quite beautiful, but I prefer a seductively beautiful man. If that man is the most beautiful man in the world, then the Family Head of the Ji Family would certainly be second most."

Chapter 1151:- Ji Jiutian's Identity (3)
The girl who spoke could not help but glance at Ji Jiutian, smitten with a hint of shyness on her face.
If Ji Jiutian did not exist, Ji Lan's beauty would shock the world. However, precisely because Ji Jiutian was here, he could not compare.
It was like an orchid blooming beside an alluring rose, the orchid was destined to be eclipsed.
"Family Head, you must get justice for me."
As soon as Lin You saw Ji Lan, he rushed up and wept, "This time, I was respectfully obeying my lord's order to come here to host this Physicians Competition, but I didn't expect Yun Luofeng would steal my answers and answer 20 problems in less than 30 minutes. I realized the error and wanted to disqualify Yun Luofeng from the competition, but I didn't expect her to actually force me to hand over the Soul Fruit."
His words were very aggrieved, as though he had received the biggest bullying in the world. "I didn't obey, so she beat me up to this severity."
Lord?
In the Ji Family, the family head did not have the highest authority. There was only one person who could be referred to as 'lord'. However, that person was more mysterious than Ji Lan, and very few people have seen him. It was this mysterious person who was at the top of the Ji Family!
"I wonder if the Ji Family would be ashamed of this complete reversal of the truth?" Princess Qingshuang aloofly stated with a cold glance toward Lin You.
The Ji Family was the most enigmatic clan in the Land of No Return. Even the three great empires must give deference to the Family Head of the Ji Family.
However, for Yun Luofeng, Princess Qingshuang sided with her without a second thought, having no qualms about being enemies with the Ji Family.
"Humph!" Lin You snorted and fiercely glared at Princess Qingshuang. "You are Yun Luofeng's accomplice, of course you would speak for her. If she did not steal the answers, how could she have answered so many questions in such a short amount of time?"
Princess Qingshuang coolly smiled. "That proves her talent is outstanding! I judged her correctly."
Among all the physicians present, only Princess Qingshuang spoke up for Yun Luofeng. Everyone else looked at each other, afraid that they would offend the Ji Family if they said anything. After all, there was no way that the Ji Family would rebuke Lin You for an outsider, so why should they attract this enmity?
"Family Head!" Lin You turned to Ji Lan and complained tearfully, "I beg Family Head to seek justice for this subordinate! Yun Luofeng is treading on our pride!"
Ji Lan frowned. If a cheating event happened on the Ji Family territory and the news of it traveled to the public, how could the Ji Family keep its reputation?
However, he also could not believe only Lin You's words, so he turned his sight to Yun Luofeng and asked, "Is this true?"
Yun Luofeng smiled, her dark eyes staring at Ji Lan. "What do you think?"
Ji Lan's brows knitted, and he was about to say something when an alluring voice leisurely drifted to him, shaking his spirit.
"This lord has watched quite a nice show today and also learned what making bogus accusations against the victim was!" The man lazily leaned back with a beautiful smile. The night breeze blew in from outside the hall, sending his clothes fluttering and revealing his tempting, white skin.
His voice was indifferent, but it successfully attracted everyone's gaze.
Ji Lan was startled and saw Ji Jiutian revealed behind the crowd. Cold sweat unwittingly dripped from his forehead.
"Punk, try saying that again?" Lin You was incredibly furious and mercilessly glared at Ji Jiutian before looking at Ji Lan. "Family Head, this punk has an unclear relationship with Yun Luofeng, so his words can't be trusted! Moreover, he also insulted Ji Family just now and proclaimed he would eradicate the Ji Family! Most importantly, he said everyone from the Ji Family was no good, including our lord."
.
.
.
Chapter 1152:- Ji Jiutian's Identity (4)
Within the Ji Family, their lord's position was the most important, and the Family Head's protection towards their lord was superior to anyone's! If he heard someone insulting the lord of the Ji Family like that, he would certainly fly into a rage.
Thinking to this point, Lin You smugly smiled, and his dark eyes glanced toward Ji Jiutian behind him. He missed the sight of the cold sweat on Ji Lan's forehead increasing, and even his clothes were soaked by his sweat.
Ji Lan subconsciously wiped away to sweat on his head and swiftly walked toward Ji Jiutian.
"You punk, who told you to insult our Ji Family? You will die for certain this time!" Seeing Lin You quickly walking over, Lin You thought his family head will take action against Ji Jiutian, the smugness on his face increased. However, Ji Lan's next words stupefied Lin You on the spot...
"Ancestor, why are you here?"
Ancestor?
Within the Ji Family, only one person could be called "ancestor" by the Family Head...
Swish!
Lin You's complexion abruptly whitened, and he staggered back a few steps, his body turning shaky. "Impossible!"
How could this man be their lord? The most enigmatic character in the Ji Family?
"This Physicians Competition has truly allowed this lord to watch a great show." Ji Jiutian seductively smiled, eeriness leaking through his smile, and his voice rung, "A certain person took advantage of his status as the host and judged a physician who answered the questions correctly to have failed, and then framed them in the end. Even the annual opera would not be as entertaining as today's show."
"Ancestor, please pardon me. I will resolve this matter." Ji Lan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead again. No matter what, he never would have imagined his family's ancestor would appear here.
"No need." Ji Jiutian sent him a chilly glance. "This lord had Lin You host this competition because this lord wanted to send him into Yun Luofeng's hands to allow her to do with him as she wanted, but you just had to come and disturb things."
Sweat poured down Ji Lan once more. He could hear that Ancestor was certainly angry this time. "Ancestor, please hand Lin You over to me. I absolutely won't disappoint my lord."
At a time like this, he could only atone for his crime with merit and do it to an extent that Ancestor would be satisfied.
"This lord will believe you for the time being." Ji Jiutian slightly narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint flickering through his eyes. "If this lord is the slightest bit unsatisfied, it's about time for the Family Head of the Ji Family to change hands."
"Yes, my lord." Ji Lan's face turned pale, and he turned to Lin You, rage apparent in his eyes. "What a great Lin You! You did something wrong, but you dared to frame someone else. According to the family rules of the Ji Family, you can't redeem yourself even with a thousand deaths!"
Plop!
Lin You suddenly kneeled on the ground, loudly kowtowing due to his fright.
"Family Head, spare my life! I know I was wrong, I won't do it again in the future."
Ji Lan waved his hand and coldly ordered, "Come and seize him! Bring him back to be punished according to the family rules!"
"Yes, Family Head."
Instantly, two experts came out from behind and grasped Lin You's body, dragging him away.
Everyone from the main hall could hear Lin You's painful and anguished wails. Peace did not return until his voice disappeared in the distance. No one dared to say a word out of fear, their dumbfounded sight landing on Ji Jiutian, especially the gazes of the unmarried girls. They wished nothing more than to pounce on him like hungry wolves descended on food, eating Ji Jiutian clean.
This man not only had kingdom-ruining beauty but also had such a noble status. If they could become his concubine, they would enjoy immense position and endless great wealth for the rest of their life.

Chapter 1153:- Ji Jiutian's Identity (5)
Ji Jiutian's sight remained on Yun Luofeng from start to end, and his smile turned him into a breathtaking painting. "Yun Luofeng, you won the competition, so the Soul Fruit belongs to you."
Yun Luofeng silently watched Ji Jiutian, and it was a while before she finally asked, "You're the ancestor of the Ji Family, and you especially created this competition?"
"That's right." Ji Jiutian did not deny Yun Luofeng's words. "This lord merely wanted to lure you here and see what type of person you are. Thankfully, you didn't disappoint this lord."
Yun Luofeng did not say anything and silently watched Ji Jiutian.
Ji Jiutian slowly walked toward Yun Luofeng, his slender fingers gently holding a black fruit. His action was incredibly seductively, easily stirring people's heart.
"The Soul Fruit in Lin You's possession is fake, this is the real one. Because the Soul Fruit is very valuable, countless strong cultivators want to obtain it, so you might encounter some troubles in the future."
He incorrigibly smiled. "This lord believes you can solve these troubles with your ability, so this lord won't help you."
"I am afraid of anything but troubles." Yun Luofeng raised her brows and accepted the Soul Fruit that Ji Jiutian was handing over. "Anyhow, am I lacking in trouble around me?"
Ji Jiutian was taken back.
Indeed, the people around Yun Luofeng all had some existing troubles. For example, Elder Qing Mu and Ge Yang from the Tianhui Empire. If people from the Empire learned of it, they would certainly seek retribution from Yun Luofeng. Moreover... she had a bigger trouble by her side!
"You're on your own!" Ji Jiutian broke into wild laughter and lightly patted Yun Luofeng's head before leaving the hall.
In the blink of an eye, that seductive red disappeared into the dusk. Ji Lan wiped away his cold sweat and nodded at Yun Luofeng quickly leaving, along with the group of people from the Ji Family.
Yun Luofeng looked away and put away the Soul Fruit. Her dark eyes turned to Princess Qingshuang. "Thank you."
Although Princess Qingshuang was not a close friend, she was the only one who stood out and spoke up for her just now.
An Lan had hints of embarrassment on his face. He previously hesitated a bit, so he did not speak up in time like Princess Qingshuang and also missed his only chance to establish a friendly relationship with Yun Luofeng.
"You don't need to thank me." Princess Qingshuang winked and a smile appeared on her pretty face. "Moreover, I helped you for my own gain. I believe that with your strength, you will certainly stand at the peak of the continent in the end. At that time, I will be able to borrow your fame and might even need you to save me."
Princess Qingshuang was very honest and did not say some pompous words like normal people. Instead, she spoke her mind.
Yun Luofeng started chuckling. "If you need any help in the future, I will rush over to help even if I am thousands of miles away."
One sentence led to a lifetime of friendship, and a small droplet of kindness would be repaid by a waterfall!
After all, the Ji Family was very powerful and was equally matched with the three great empires, perhaps even stronger. However, in that type of situation, Princess Qingshuang was still willing to take the risk and speak up for her. This was why she wholeheartedly accepted Princess Qingshuang.
"I definitely won't be polite." Princess Qingshuang's lips turned up with a beautiful smile.
"Qing Mu, Qingyan, let's go."
.
.

Chapter 1154:- Ji Jiutian's Identity (6)
Yun Luofeng sent a final glance to Princess Qingshuang before turning around and leaving the main hall. She did not notice the pair of foreboding eyes unwaveringly watching her from the corner...
"Qing Mu, that bastard! When he left the Tianhui Empire back then, it was actually because he was poached by Yun Luofeng? And he had the nerve to call it retirement? That won't do, I must go and report this matter to His Majesty!"
...
The Tianhui Empire
Inside the extravagant palace, the Emperor received a messenger pigeon and his face turned terrifyingly dark. "Qing Mu, the old bastard, he dared to deceive me! What retiring? He clearly abandoned Zhen and chose another calling."
Although he did not need a disobedient old man like Qing Mu, it did not mean he was willing to allow Qing Mu to be loyal to someone else. Especially if that person was Yun Luofeng.
"That Ge Yang also isn't anything good. He lied to me saying his disciple offended people from the Wushuang Empire, causing me to go into hiding for a few days, and he took away the people from the Imperial Physician Court in the meantime!"
As soon as he recalled coming back to an empty Imperial Physician Court that day, his heart would smoke, and he wished nothing more than to shred those people into pieces!
"Your Majesty." Noble Consort Liu leaned into the emperor's embrace with a light smile. "It's merely Yun Luofeng, what are we afraid of? Why don't we send our soldiers out and eradicate her?"
"My dear consort, Yun Luofeng received the good graces of Princess Qingshuang of the Liuyue Empire and also has a good relationship with the ancestor of the Ji Family. I'm afraid it won't be that easy to take her on." The Emperor sighed, his face full of helplessness.
It's not that he did not want to eliminate Yun Luofeng, but he did not have the power, so he could only watch his enemy running freely, unable to do anything.
"Hohoho..." Suddenly, a chilling laughter rang in the air and reverberated in the Imperial study.
The Emperor's face drastically shifted, and he harshly shouted, "Who are you? Show yourself!"
After the Emperor said this, the eerie voice spoke again, "With that cowardice of yours, why bother being an emperor? You should just change the dynasty, the sooner the better."
An old man completely enveloped in darkness appeared in front of him. A black mist hung around the old man, causing people to be unable to see his face clearly.
His voice was rough and hoarse, like fingernails scratching on wood, giving people an unsettling feeling.
"Who are you?" the Emperor asked, looking at the old man with alarm.
"Someone who came to aid you."
"Aid me?" The Emperor was taken back, a glint flashing through his eyes.
"That's right." The old man's voice was low. "I can help you unify the continent and obtain your revenge. More than that, I can provide a stronger power to the cultivators of your empire..."
The Emperor maintained his prudence. "What will you gain from helping me?"
If there was no gain, why would this old man help him for no reason?
"I want the Emperor's jade seal of the three great empires." The man's abrasive voice greatly unnerved people.
Hearing him, the Emperor was startled. "Why do you want the jade seal?"
"There's no need for you to know its purpose. You only need to know that I have the power to help you! You can hand the jade seal over to me after I help you. This is a fair trade."
Unifying the continent is likely everyone's dream. If he really had this opportunity, how could he give it up?
.
.
.
Chapter 1155:- Childbirth (1)
Thinking of this, Long Yuan clenched his teeth. "Okay, I promise you, if you help me bring the whole continent under my rule, then I will give you my jade seal."
"Haha."
The old man smiled insidiously. "You can do whatever you want, and I won't intervene. But I can rebuild your army and make your soldiers invulnerable and imperishable!"
Invulnerable and imperishable?
Long Yuan's eyes lit up. "Deal!"
If he could really own an army whose soldiers were invulnerable and imperishable, then who on the continent dare to disobey him from now on?
Hahaha!
The more Long Yuan thought about it, the more pleased he was. He couldn't help guffawing, and his laughter spread out, lingering in the sky for a long time...
Hearing their conversation, Noble Consort Liu rolled her eyes and a sinister gleam flashed through her eyes.
She hastily ordered something to a maid beside her, and a grim smile appeared on her face.
The Land of No Return.
The current situation was doomed to change because of this.
...
The Tianyun Kingdom.
In the Ye Family, Jun Fengling looked at the sky leisurely, with a worried look on her face.
"Jun'er."
Ye Jingchen walked up to Jun Fengling, hugged her from behind and asked, "Are you missing Xiao'er and Feng'er again?"
Jun Fengling shook her head, "I don't know why, but I always feel upset recently. It's like something big is going to happen."
"Jun'er, don't worry. I will protect you. As long as I am still alive, I will protect you from any harm."
Ye Jingchen swore with a resolute voice.
Jun Fengling lowered her eyes and smiled. She rubbed her chubby tummy and a loving smile was hovering over her lips.
"Brother Ye, I feel that I'm going to give birth to our child in a few days. If only Xiao'er and Feng'er could come back at that time! Feng'er has a great medical skill, if she is here, our baby and I will both be alright." She sighed and her words sounded so sad.
Ye Jingchen tightly held her hand. "Jun'er, you still have me! Trust me, I'm not going to let anything bad happen to you and our baby."
"I hope so."
Jun Fengling sighed again. Turning her eyes to the blue sky, for some reason, she felt increasingly worried.
"Something bad happened!"
Just then, a maid hurried in, panting, "Young Master, Young Mistress, the Tianhui Empire's army is attacking us... "
"What?"
Ye Jingchen and Jun Fengling looked at each other in shock.
"What happened? Isn't there a rule that the kingdoms on the continent cannot attack each other? How dare the Tianhui Empire violate this rule?" Ye Jingchen frowned and her handsome face was solemn.
"Brother Ye."
Jun Fengling grabbed Ye Jingchen's hand, "Why do they choose such a time? If it were half a month later, my baby would be born, and I could fight with you, but now I can't do anything for you."
Since the Tianhui Empire attacked them, Ye Jingchen, as a member of the Ye Family, must go to the battlefield!
But she felt worried for some reason.
She had a feeling that if Brother Ye went to the battlefield, he would never come back.
"Jun'er, stay at home and wait for me."
Trying to comfort Jun Fengling, Ye Jingchen said softly.
"No!" Jun Fengling tightly held his hand, fearing that the man would leave her forever as soon as she let him go. "Brother Ye, I want to stay with you."
They always fought side by side and were never separated from each other.
.
.
.
Chapter 1156:- Childbirth (2)
At such a time, how could she let him face the dangers alone?
"Jun'er."
Ye Jingchen lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, his voice so tender, "Take good care of our child and I'll be back soon."
Child?
Jun Fengling's body shook, and she stroked her belly with her palm, her face pale. Yes, if she died on the battlefield with Brother Ye, they could still be a couple in the underworld. However, what about their child? How could he lose his life without even seeing the world?
"Brother Ye... I'll wait for you!"
Jun Fengling's lips were stretched white and her voice was trembling, "You must come back. Our child can't live without a dad, and I... can't go on without you!"
"I promise you I'll come back."
Ye Jingchen took a final look at Jun Fengling, turned around and walked out of the Ye Family.
Looking at his receding figure, Jun Fengling couldn't stand it anymore. She covered her face with her hand and tears were flowing through her fingers. All of a sudden, she felt a burst of pain in her abdomen. She bent down in pain, her beautiful face ghastly pale.
"Young Mistress!"
Seeing her action, the maids rushed up to support her body and called her anxiously.
"Come on, take me to my room, I'm going to give birth."
Jun Fengling clutched the corner of her clothes, and her forehead covered with a cold sweat. Did God let my baby be born early because He knew Brother Ye was going to the battlefield?
"What happened?
Hearing the noise here, the other people of the Ye Family hurried out. When they saw Jun Fengling who was supported by the maids, their face changed with fear.
"The Tianhui Empire's army is attacking us and Young master went to fight against them outside the city. Jarred by this, Young Mistress is going to give birth early," a maid hurriedly explained.
"What?" Ye Tian flew into a rage. "How dare the Tianhui Empire attack our Tianyun Kingdom? Guards, go with me and fight with these bastards! Master Yun, please take care of my daughter-in-law for me."
Before leaving, Ye Tian didn't forget to ask Yun Luo to take care of Jun Fengling.
Yun Luo nodded, "Jun'er is my granddaughter's future mother-in-law. I will certainly take care of her. Don't worry."
"Thanks a lot."
Ye Tian made an obeisance and hurriedly left, followed by the strong masters of the Ye Family.
"Xin'er," Yun Qingya frowned, and a determined look appeared on his cool, handsome face, "I'm going to help them. Please take care of the young mistress."
Ning Xin paused, "Brother Yun, I want to go with you."
"No," Yun Qingya shook his head, "If you go with me, except for the maids, Ye Qi will be the only woman here. I'm afraid she can't take care of the young mistress alone, so I hope you can stay here to help her."
More importantly, he didn't want Ning Xin to face such a danger.
Upon hearing this, Ning Xin nodded, "Okay, Brother Yun, I'll stay here. Please come back soon. I'll take care of the Young Mistress."
Taking a final look at Ning Xin, Yun Qingya left and disappeared from Ning Xin's eyes.
She tried to calm down and said, "Young Mistress is going to give birth, so we need to bring a midwife here. Ye Qi, please stay with Young Mistress and I'll go find a midwife."
Ye Qi hurriedly nodded. She looked anxiously at Jun Fengling and gently held her hand.
"Foster Mother, don't worry. Foster Father will be fine. After you give birth to your baby, he'll be back."
.

Chapter 1157:- Childbirth (3)
It was so painful that Jun Fengling had no energy to speak. With sweat running down from her forehead, she tightly grabbed Ye Qi's hand, and blood oozed from her biting her lips. She wanted nothing but the chance to fight together with Ye Jingchen after the birth of their child.
...
Outside the city.
Led by a middle-aged general, a group of soldiers stood there, shouting and cursing.
The gate slowly opened...
An armored Jian Chengwen took the lead to walk out. With a steel sword in his hand, he was followed by a group of soldiers. Then Ye Jingchen and other masters arrived and guarded in front of the gate.
"Jian Chengwen, this time I came to the Tianyun Kingdom not for your imperial family, but for the Ye family. Get out of my way as soon as possible. Maybe I'll spare your life!" The general sneered, "Otherwise, don't blame me for exterminating your imperial family!"
Jian Chengwen looked solemn. "The Ye Family is a part of our Tianyun Kingdom, so I'm obliged to protect them. Besides, did you forget the rule?"
"The rule?" The general laughed, "What rule? Why don't I know about it? All I know is that even the Wushuang Empire and the Liuyue Empire will soon become our affiliated countries, let alone your tiny little Tianyun Kingdom!"
Jian Chengwen's face greatly changed, "What do you mean?"
"I mean, this continent will soon become ours, hahaha!" The general guffawed again, "My soldiers, exterminate the Ye Family, leaving no one alive! Oh, I forgot. It seems that Yun Luofeng's family is also in the Ye Family. Let's torture them to death!"
"I'd like to see whether you can do it or not."
Ye Jingchen stepped forward, jeering.
"Kill!" The general waved and ordered coldly.
Hearing his order, the soldiers behind them rushed into the battlefield like a group of lunatics. The dreadful yells of killing and fighting resounded throughout the sky.
Ye Jingchen rushed into the crowd and thrust his sword into a soldier's chest.
However, the soldier remained expressionless, as if he didn't feel the pain, and then he punched Ye Jingchen hard.
A surprised look appeared on Ye Jingchen's face and he dodged the attack. In the next minute, the blood hole in the soldier's chest gradually healed.
Yes! The place where Ye Jingchen stabbed just now was healing at the fastest speed.
"What's going on here?" Dumfounded, Ye Jingchen retreated into the Ye Family crowd, his face serious.
Jian Chengwen frowned, "These soldiers are strange. They are like puppets that are unaware of pain. The only thing they know is to charge forward and kill! And they are also capable of self-healing! What on earth happened to the Tianhui Empire?"
Ye Jingchen's eyes darkened. He had thought he could finish the battle soon because she didn't see any strong master among the soldiers. He never imagined these soldiers were invulnerable and imperishable!
"Watch out!"
Seeing a soldier attacking the pondering Ye Jingchen, Jian Chengwen shouted to alarm him who hurriedly raised his sword to ward off the attack.
How could he fall into a trance on the battlefield?! If it weren't for Jian Chengwen, he would have been seriously injured. Jun'er was still waiting for him at home, so he must solve these people as quickly as possible!
At the moment, all the streets of the Tianhui Empire were empty. As warned by the imperial family, the citizens all shut the doors and hid at home, so no one was on the streets, and only the sounds of fighting and killing could be heard.
.
.
.
Chapter 1158:- Childbirth (4)
From morning to dusk, the soldiers of the Tianyun Kingdom fell to the ground one after another, and only Jian Chengwen's soldiers and the Ye Family people were still fighting.
This battle lasted for a day and a night, and their enemies seemed to be tireless, killing without taking any rest.
The Ye Family.
Inside the room, Jun Fengling's gut-wrenching scream rang. Her voice sounded so painful that everyone's heart would flutter when they heard it. It had been a day and a night. The water had broken, but the baby didn't come out. Now even the midwife was anxious.
"No, if it goes on like this... Young Mistress will not be able to last long," the midwife said anxiously, standing up. "We have to find a physician, or else she will die."
"I'll go to the Imperial Palace to find a physician because all the physicians in the city have already fled for their lives." Ning Xin stood up and turned to walk out.
Although all physicians in the Imperial Palace were male, it didn't matter that much right now. Nothing was more important than Jun Fengling's life.
Jun Fengling clenched the quilt. It never occurred to her that she would die in childbirth instead of dying on the battlefield!
No!
She was not reconciled!
Brother Ye was still fighting. How could she die here?
"My child, you've been torturing your mother for a day and a night. If it's normal time, you can do whatever you want, but now, your father is still in a fight with his enemies and I must go to help him. Please come out. If anything bad happened to your father, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life."
A line of tears flowed down from the corner of Jun Fengling's eyes. Whenever she thought that Ye Jingchen was facing dangers alone, her heart was filled with pain.
Perhaps the baby understood her words. Soon, she felt a bit relieved. The little head of the child left her body and was exposed outside...
The midwife was quite happy to see this and hastened to help Jun Fengling. "Young Mistress, the child's head has come out. If you try harder, he will be born soon. Come on!"
Relieved to hear that, Jun Fengling suddenly regained her strength and tried her best to push the child out of her body.
"Waaaah!"
A cry resounded in the room.
"It's a boy, Young Mistress, it's a boy! There is still another baby in your tummy. Don't give up! She's going to come out."
After the first child was born, it would be easier to give birth to the second one.
When the second child was also pushed out of her body, Jun Fengling relaxed and suddenly lost all her strength. She lay on the bed, gasping for breath, and the sheet under her had already been soaked with sweat.
"Young Mistress, congratulations! You gave birth to a boy and a girl, but the little miss didn't cry at all. What a cute little girl."
Jun Fengling opened her eyes and looked wearily at the two children held by the midwife. One child was crying and struggling, while the other was sleeping quietly. If she couldn't feel the breath under her nose, she might have thought this little girl was dead...
"Qiqi," Jun Fengling tried to lift herself up and said wearily, "fetch the medicine Feng'er left me."
"Foster Mother..." Ye Qi shuddered, "you just gave birth to the babies, and you can't go to Foster Father now."
"I'm alright," Jun Fengling shook her head, "Feng'er left me some medicine that can help me regain my strength. Bring it here, and I can go help your Foster Father after I take it."
.
.

Chapter 1159:- Childbirth (5)
Before Yun Luofeng left, she was afraid that Jun Fengling would encounter risks in childbirth, so she left behind some medicinal herbs in case any danger occurred.
"Foster Mother, since you have the medicine, why didn't you take it before?" Ye Qi asked sullenly, "You almost scared me to death."
Jun Fengling smiled feebly. "I felt I still had some strength and didn't need the medicine. If I really lost all my strength, I would certainly take it. I wouldn't put my children in danger!"
Of course, if the Tianhui Empire had not suddenly attacked the Tianyun Kingdom, she would have taken the medicine. It was because she wanted to help Ye Jingchen that she planned to take it after childbirth...
"Okay, let me get it."
Ye Qi knew how deeply Jun Fengling and Ye Jingchen loved each other. How could Foster Mother just sit and wait here when Foster Father was facing the dangers alone? She was never a woman hiding behind a man. Even though she just gave birth to two children, she would still go to the battlefield and fight with her man.
Ye Qi quickly brought a slice of blood ginseng and Jun Fengling put it into her mouth. Soon she felt she was gradually regaining strength.
"Qiqi, Miss Ning, please take care of my babies for me."
With these words, Jun Fengling rushed out quickly like a gust of wind...
The ground in front of the city gate had been dyed red with blood, and gradually turned black as time went by.
However, soon the blackened bloodstain was covered by new blood, looking dreadful.
Ye Jingchen was fighting with the enemy, panting. He felt that his spiritual energy and strength were gradually drained. If he continued to fight, his spiritual energy would be drained soon, and then he would be like lamb to the slaughter.
Bang!
Seeing that Ye Jingchen was running out of power, the general sneered. Seizing the chance, he suddenly punched Ye Jingchen and slammed his body out.
His spiritual energy invaded Ye Jingchen's body and bumped around his insides. Ye Jingchen turned pale and blood spurted out from his mouth.
The general gave a sneer, waved his hand and said cruelly, "Shoot arrows. Kill Ye Jingchen first."
The archers held up their arrows and pointed them at the body of Ye Jingchen. Numerous arrows shot at once. If it were the past, these arrows would have been no problem for Ye Jingchen and he could have easily dodged them.
But now...
Running out of spiritual energy, he could no longer cope with the enemies in front of him. Ye Jingchen raised his head and unflinchingly stared at these arrows flying toward him, but at that moment, an anxious voice rang behind him.
"No! Brother Ye, dodge them, run!"
He shuddered and turned his head only to see Jun Fengling rushing towards him...
Her eyes were so desperate, and tears were running down from her beautiful face. Her face was so pale that it looked almost transparent, and she stared at him sadly.
Ye Jingchen reached out his hand to touch her face, but she was still a distance away, so he could only touch the air in front of him.
The other people of the Ye Family also stopped fighting. Seeing the arrows shooting at Ye Jingchen, they dashed toward him as fast as they could.
Swoosh!
Time froze at this moment...
Jun Fengling who was running madly also stopped, her hands covering her mouth, tears running down from her face.
The sword slipped down from Yun Qingya's hand. His elegant and handsome face was filled with sadness. He looked so shocked and grieved as if he couldn't believe what was happening in front of him.

Chapter 1160:- Childbirth (6)
Ye Jingchen was stunned.
Not feeling any pain in him, he turned his head...
Then his pupil constricted and anger welled up in his mind. In front of him, a man opened his arms and shielded him with his strong body. Countless arrows pierced his body, and blood streamed down the shafts. Shielded by his mountain of a body, Ye Jingchen felt his heart was trembling.
"General Jian... "
Boom!
General Jian, like a huge mountain, collapsed to the ground in front of Ye Jingchen.
"General Jian."
Ye Jingchen tried to lift his body up and crawled to Jian Chengwen with all his strength, tears running down from his face, "General Jian, why did you do this? Why?"
Men only shed tears when they were deeply grieved.
General Jian coughed and vomited a mouthful of blood. His voice was so weak as if it would disappear at any time.
"I promised little Feng'er that I would take care of her family when she was away. Since I promised it, I must fulfill it!"
That day, Yun Luofeng helped Jian Chengwen make a breakthrough. As a return, she asked Jian Chengwen to protect her family when she was away. But she never expected that Jian Chengwen was willing to lose his life for this promise.
With these words, Jian Chengwen's hand fell from the palm of Ye Jingchen, and his open eyes gradually closed. He died silently...
"No!" Ye Jingchen wailed heartbrokenly, "Tianhui Empire, go to hell! Go to hell! "
His voice was full of rage, and his sad eyes were bloodshot. He turned around and glared at the general of the Tianhui Empire.
"You've run out of spiritual energy! How dare you curse me?" The general sneered, "Besides, Jian Chengwen dug his own grave, it has nothing to do with me!"
The Ye Family people were immersed in an atmosphere of grief. After they heard the general's words, their grief turned into anger, so they began to attack the soldiers of the Tianhui Empire like madmen. However, no matter how powerful they were, they couldn't rival these invulnerable and imperishable soldiers who didn't feel any pain no matter how much they suffered.
So, in the end, all of them would drain their spiritual energy...
If they just exhausted their strength, blood ginseng could help them regain it.
But spiritual energy couldn't be regained so easily
"It seems that I'm late... "
Suddenly, an impassive voice rang. As if carrying a power, it separated the fighting parties.
A man came through the void. This white-clad man was so stunningly handsome that he looked like a figure walking out of a beautiful painting.
"Who are you? "The general asked coldly, his face darkening.
The relegated immortal-like man smiled, his handsome face shining with a mild sheen.
"Yun Luofeng's old sweetheart."
If it weren't for the death of Jian Chengwen, the Ye Family people might be amused by his words.
But now no one laughed, their faces filled with sadness...
"Whoever you are, since you come here, you must die!" The general's eyes turned cold and he ordered grimly, "Kill him."
On the battlefield, the fighting and killing sounds rang again.
