Chapter 2241:- Yun Chutian's Return (5)

The group of guards swiftly unsheathed their weapons and attacked Yun Chutian.

Wang Haotian's expression changed as he hastily said, "Miss Chutian, be careful!"

However, the next scene frightened everyone to the point that their hearts almost stopped beating. The young lady waved her long sleeves around and a gentle breeze spread out. Not to mention harming her, the guards couldn't even get closer to her than 10 meters.

As soon as they had taken two steps foward, they were pushed back as she waved her arms. If they wanted to close their distance by force, they would then start bleeding from their seven apertures.

"When will those top elders come out of closed-door cultivation?" Ouyang Xun's expression sank and as he questioned.

When did this girl become so powerful? Unless it was those few elders within the Imperial Family, probably no one would be her opponent.

No matter how many guards dashed over, even the general couldn't touch the corner of her robes.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there's still another month before the elders come out from closed-door cultivation. Furthermore, they said that we should never disturb them no matter what happens." The eunuch wiped the cold sweat on his forehead as he spoke while trembling.

"There's still one month left?" Ouyang Xun's expression darkened. This girl probably obtained some fortuitous encounter outside, allowing her strength to increase several notches. Right now, we will appease her and after the elders come out of closed-door cultivation, we will have them end her life!

Thinking of this, Ouyang Xun tightly clenched his fist and sternly shouted. "Everyone, stop your attacks!"

After he spoke, those guards encircling Yun Chutian dispersed and respectfully awaited for Ouyang Xun's orders.

Looking at the numerous guards on the floor who had died, Ouyang Xun's lips twitched. He had expended many resources to train those guards but as a result of this, half of them had met their demise!

He took a deep breath and forcefully spoke in a gentle tone. "Xin'er, I was only joking with you earlier on... Since you've returned, then I shall order servants to tidy up the palace your mother previously resided in."

"As I said before, I forgot my previous name. Right now, my surname is Yun and I'm called Yun Chutian."

Ouyang Xun's expression changed. "In any case, I'm still your biological father and I've forgiven your previous mistakes but you actually want to change your name?"

Her lips quirked up and she retorted, "I only have one father and his name is Yun Xiao."

Yun Xiao? Ouyang Xun frowned. That name seemed very familiar, and he seemed to have heard it somewhere else, yet he could not match a face to the name at that moment...

"Yun Chutian!" Ouyang Yue took a deep breath and said. "Since Father is willing to forgive you, what else can I say? You were evil-hearted since you were young and you even attempted to poison me. Now that you're older, you've become even more evil to have killed these guards!"

However, no one witnessed how Yun Chutian ended their lives. It was only after those watching had recovered their senses that they witnessed those guards which had fallen on the floor...

Of course, Ouyang Yue's words were spoken for Wang Haotian ears, to bring to his attention what personality Yun Chutian had!

How dare she say Wang Haotian was blind to marry her? Instead, anyone who took a fancy to an evil woman like Yun Chutian was blind!

Yun Chutian laughed with scorn as she slowly walked towards Ouyang Yue. Slightly lifting her chin, she looked down on her and said, "Ouyang Yue, my dearest second sister. You seem to have forgotten the truth behind the poisoning incident back then. Was I the real culprit who poisoned you, or were you the one who seized my credit and framed me?" Her voice was not lowered in the slightest, and all the civil and military officials had heard what she said.

Chapter 2242:- Yun Chutian's Return (6)

Ouyang Xun's expression was very unsightly. "You mean it was Yue'er who framed you and seized your credit? You were only five that year so how could you possibly know anything? The treatment method was Yue'er's idea but you were so vicious to actually frame her!"

"I'm too lazy to argue with you." Yun Chutian's lively eyes looked mischievous. "However, since you're asking me to stay in the palace my mother resided in before, you mean to banish me to the Cold Palace?"

Ouyang Xun was stunned. How did he forget that this girl and her mother had spent their days in the Cold Palace?

"Then what do you want?"

"I feel that the Qinglan Palace that Ouyang Yue is residing in is pretty good. Why don't you yield it to me?"

"Do you know what you're saying?" Ouyang Xun gnashed his teeth. "That's your second sister's palace! Do you even deserve to stay there?"

Whoosh!

Just as Ouyang Xun finished speaking, an ice-cold long sword was held against his neck. Her speed was extremely fast, to the extent Ouyang Xun did not have the opportunity to react...

He was astonished. It was the first time he noticed that his daughter had changed tremendously and there were probably only a few elders who could restrain her.

"Give me Qinglan Palace or else what awaits you will only be death!" She was smiling but her tone was extremely cold, causing Ouyang Xun to shiver.

"Let go of Imperial Father, I'll give you Qinglan Palace!" Ouyang Yue's expression was somewhat ashen as she tightly clenched her fist. Her fingernails had deeply pieced into her palms but she didn't notice in the slightest.

"You didn't give it to me, I obtained it with my own strength." Yun Chutian withdrew her sword and smiled with contempt. She obtained the palace with her own strength so what right did Ouyang Yue have to say she gave it to her?

"I'm hungry." Yun Chutian lazily stretched. "Remember to prepare meals for me. Ouyang Yue, if you wish to poison me, you can try. My parents have bathed me in a medicated bath since I was young and I'm already invulnerable to poison."

Yun Chutian was spot on about Ouyang Yue's intentions, causing her to flush red from embarrassment and feel ashamed. After speaking, Yun Chutian walked out of the palace.

"Miss Chutian, wait for me." Wang Haotian removed his wedding robes, thinking of following her.

Ouyang Yue became anxious and pulled Wang Haotian's sleeve. "What do you think you are doing?"

"Nothing, I just don't want to continue this wedding."

He originally didn't want to get married, but his father fixed this wedding without asking for his opinion. This was also a marriage that the Emperor bestowed and he was unable to reject it. More importantly, he did not have anyone he liked and marrying anyone didn't matter to him. However... the instant Yun Chutian stepped into the Taihe Palace, he finally understood what it meant to fall in love at first sight!

That's right, he fell in love with Yun Chutian at first sight! Naturally, he did not wish to marry Ouyang Yue.

Wang Haotian's strength was much more powerful than Ouyang Yue as he directly pushed her away and ran out. Ouyang Xun was in shock and he finally recovered his senses after Wang Haotian left.

At this very moment, under the gaze of civil and military officials, Ouyang Yue felt extremely ashamed and wanted to find a hole to burrow into, while her hatred for Yun Chutian had also increased.

The Prime Minister was the first to recover his senses and apologetically said, "Your Majesty, your subject failed to properly educate my son and I'll bring him back this very instant."

Ouyang Xun sighed and waved his hand, ordering the Prime Minister to retreat.

...

Within the imperial garden, the young lady had a smile that was pretty and moving. Her face was like a rosy peach and probably due to her good mood, her pair of eyes became crescent-shaped.

"Miss Chutian." Wang Haotian hastily chased over from behind and shouted.

Yun Chutian stopped in her tracks and looked at Wang Haotian in confusion. "Why are you looking for me?"

Chapter 2243:- Yun Chutian's Return (7)

Wang Haotian blushed. "This... Miss Chutian hasn't returned to Heavenly Emperor City for over a decade and I presume you're not familiar with the surroundings. I can bring you out to take a stroll."

Yun Chutian was momentarily distracted and she pursed her lips. "When I was in the palace, I had never taken a step out of the gates. The only time was when someone tied me up on a pillar on the streets and intended to burn me to death."

She did not have the slightest good memory of the four years spent within Heavenly Emperor City. Therefore, she did not have anything she had recalled fondly of in this place.

Wang Tianhao scratched his head. "There are many interesting places and good food in Heavenly Emperor City. Why don't I bring you out to play?"

Good food? Yun Chutian's eyes brightened and smiled. "Sure, I like desserts."

Wang Haotian smiled. "There's a teahouse with good desserts. Let me take you there."

Yun Chutian sucked her fingers and asked while blinking. "Oh, then thank you for that. However, wouldn't it be bad if you abandoned Ouyang Yue like that?"

She came here to wreck Ouyang Yue's happiness but she shouldn't implicate Wang Haotian, right? In any case, Wang Haotian wasn't the person she had a grudge with.

"I... don't want to marry her," Wang Haotian pursed his lips. "From the start, I never wanted to marry her."

Yun Chutian raised her chin. "If you don't want to marry her, why didn't you reject it from the beginning? My mother said that if you don't like someone, you shouldn't give them any hope! With such a marriage, both sides wouldn't be happy."

Wang Haotian stared blankly at the young lady's beautiful face. This was the first time he had heard someone telling him all this.

The common ideology was that their match would be decided by their parents and the matchmaker. By being born in this era, they couldn't choose to be with their loved one and so, he had heeded his parent's orders to marry someone he did not love.

"I... don't know..." His eyes were filled with complicated emotions. "No one has ever told me this before."

Yun Chutian raised her chin and said. "I am very grateful to my father and mother. They provided me with a good lifestyle and the best education. Furthermore... they also allowed me to decide my own marriage."

Wang Haotian looked at Yun Chutian in a daze. He suddenly had a feeling that she must've been very happy during the ten years after she left. Otherwise, how could a little girl who experienced that kind of hardship possess such a bright and beautiful smile?

"Then... do you have someone you like?" Wang Haotian's heart sped up and nervously gazed at Yun Chutian.

A matchlessly handsome appearance surfaced within Yun Chutian's mind and her face was similar to a peach, with her cheeks turning red. "I do."

She loved Brother Nianfeng and she would only marry him!

Wang Haotian lowered his head in disappointment. So it turns out... she already has someone she's deeply in love with. However, it would be pretty good to have such an adorable girl as a sister.

Wang Haotian quickly recovered from his disappointment by comforting himself. He then smiled and said, "Let's go, didn't you say that you were hungry earlier on? I'll bring you out to have some cakes."

"Okay." Hearing that there would be food, she forgot about everything and happily followed Wang Haotian as they walked out of the palace.

...

Heavenly Emperor City.

As the most famous teahouse in Tianhuang City, it was already packed with people. Fortunately, Wang Haotian easily managed to book a room with his status as the Prime Minister's son. However, when the crowd spotted Wang Haotian who was supposed to be in the wedding ceremony and saw that he had even brought a young lady into the teahouse, they started gossiping.

"Who's the young lady following Wang Haotian? Her appearance is pretty good but doesn't she know that Wang Haotian is the Second Princess's husband? She had actually dared to openly enter the teahouse with him?"

.

Chapter 2244:- Yun Chutian's Return (8)

"Tsk, could this girl be Wang Haotian's concubine? It's rumored that the few concubines in his estate are very beautiful. I wonder if she's one of them."

"However, wouldn't it be bad for him to bring his concubine outside on his wedding day? How did the kindhearted Second Princess fancy such a man?"

"All your guesses are wrong. That lady is also a princess, but she attempted to poison the Second Princess ten years ago and was seen through by the Emperor. Thus, he ordered for her to be burned at stake but at a crucial time, she was captured by a dragon. I also heard that the dragon wanted to devour her but she somehow managed to escape."

The one speaking was clearly an informed source. Everything he said was what the second princess said in Taihe Palace.

"I have a cousin on duty in the palace and he told me all this. Furthermore, according to my cousin, she should've been fooling around with Wang Tianhao long ago. Otherwise, she wouldn't have intentionally crashed the scene today. After she arrived, Wang Haotian left with her, leaving the second princess alone."

"Aish, why did such a beautiful second princess encounter such a man? Oh right, that girl said that she's no longer part of the Imperial Family and her name seems to have been changed to Yun Chutian..."

Just as he spoke, a white-robed figure suddenly flashed into the teahouse and a hand fiercely grabbed his neck. He was frightened to the extent his complexion was deathly white. The instant he looked up, a handsome face was reflected in his eyes.

The young man was quite young, around fifteen to sixteen years old. His eyes had a cold glint as a chilly layer shrouded his surroundings. "Where did you say Yun Chutian was?"

That person pointed to the room on the second floor. "They went into the fourth room."

Whoosh!

The young man flung him to one side and arrived on the second floor in a blink of an eye. He then raised his leg and kicked the door open. At this very moment, within the room, Yun Chutian had a big smile as she released an adorable laugh from time to time.

Suddenly, the room was kicked open and she turned in shock and saw a handsome young man with an ashen complexion walking in.

"You... you..." Yun Chutian stood up and was so shocked that she couldn't form a coherent sentence. "Brother Nianfeng, why are you here?"

Yun Nianfeng's chilly eyes swept a glance at Wang Haotian as he slowly walked to Yun Chutian and forcefully pulled her into his embrace. "My fiancee has caused trouble for you."

Fiancee?

Wang Haotian laughed and his smile was filled with bitterness. So it turns out, this young man is the one she loves...

"Brother Nianfeng!" Yun Chutian pouted. "I'm not troublesome."

"Keep quiet!" Yun Nianfeng angrily glared at her, without the usual gentleness. "You left without bidding farewell and I haven't settled this with you. You actually dare to say you're not troublesome? If I hadn't pestered Mother to ask about your whereabouts, how long were you intending to keep this from me?"

Yun Chutian lowered her head, not daring to utter a single word, afraid that she would get a scolding if she said anything.

"Furthermore, you're already old enough and don't you know how unpredictable human hearts are? You even casually followed a man out?" Yun Nianfeng sneered.

"I... I didn't..." Yun Chutian replied weakly.

She dared to come to the teahouse with him as she knew that Wang Tianhao wasn't her opponent. It wasn't as bad as what Brother Nianfeng described.

Yun Nianfeng shot a sideways glance at Wang Haotian. "Since I'm here, she doesn't need your care and I'll be taking her away."

.

Chapter 2245:- Yun Chutian's Return (9)

Yun Chutian wanted to speak up but Yun Nianfeng directly picked her up by the waist and jumped out from the window.

"Ahh!" On the streets, the passersby were shocked by the scene of a young man jumping down through the window with a young lady in his arms. Even after they left, the passerbys had not recovered from their shock.

Not far away, a yellow-robed lady foolishly stared in the direction that Yun Nianfeng had gone. Her eyes were filled with longing and she wasn't able to recover her senses for a long time...

Looking at the young lady's current appearance, the servant-maid standing behind her was unconsciously nervous as she asked, "Miss, what's wrong?"

The yellow-robed young lady shook her head but her gaze never shifted and a faintly discernible smile quirked on her lips. "I've finally found you..."

Even though ten years have passed and your appearance have changed, I can still recognize you at a glance...

The yellow-robed lady shut her eyes and her expression contained a deep pain.

She would never forget how her mother was framed and died. All the more, she would never forget how her mother entrusted her to take revenge! However, after her parents had been met their end, that person had also disappeared.

A while back, she followed a team deep into the mountains for exploration and lost her footing while accidentally hitting against a door. Furthermore, after pushing open the door, she arrived in this world. After she woke up she even became... the Prime Minister's daughter. Fortunately, she was feeling unwell today and did not attend her brother's wedding as she was afraid of bringing bad luck. Otherwise, she wouldn't have found him in this sea of people.

So what if he was her enemy's son? Ever since meeting him many years back, she swore that she would not marry unless he was the groom! Even if she had to give up on taking revenge, she had to become his wife!

Guest house.

Yun Nianfeng pushed opened the door and threw Yun Chutian on the bed.

Yun Chutian weakly shrunk back to the bedside, looking pitiful. "Mother promised she wouldn't tell you my whereabouts."

"Coming to Heavenly Emperor City on your own, do you think Mom would be at ease? If you get deceived by some random man, I doubt you'll be returning in the future."

"I won't be deceived." Yun Chutian pouted and her eyes suddenly brightened. "Brother Nianfeng, are you jealous?"

Jealous? Yun Nianfeng's handsome face stiffened and he subconsciously turned his head so that he wouldn't have eye contact with her lively eyes.

"I'm only afraid that you would get deceived. Furthermore, I asked around earlier and that man named Wang Haotian nearly married the Imperial Family's princess! How could a man who is so casual about his marriage be a good person? More importantly, he also has concubines!"

Perhaps being deeply influenced by Yun Xiao, Yun Nianfeng naturally only wished to have one partner his whole life. As for a man like Wang Haotian, he would certainly look down on him.

"Chutian, you're still young and I'm afraid you would get cheated. When you grow older, I won't be concerned about you then."

"Really?" Yun Chutian got down from the bed and put her arms around Yun Nianfeng's neck. "Then when I'm older, you'll allow me to marry another man?"

Yun Nianfeng's heart tightened. He repeatedly said that Yun Chutian was too young and he was afraid that she might regret it in the future, and so did not progress any further with her. But if she really married another man...

He would most probably end that man's life!

"Brother Nianfeng, just admit that you're jealous." Yun Chutian's soft lips approached Yun Nianfeng's face as she laughed happily. "But you can rest assured that I will only marry you, Brother Nianfeng. Other men cannot be compared to you."

Chapter 2246:- Yun Chutian's Return (10)

It would be a lie if he didn't feel good after hearing what she said. Yun Nianfeng's expression gradually eased and he pulled Yun Chutian to sit down by his side.

"Mother didn't reveal any specific information. Tell me, how did they bully you?" Yun Nianfeng caressed her beautiful hair and asked in a gentle voice.

Yun Chutian turned her head away. "Actually, that was something that happened when I was still young."

"Before I was five, I had always been staying in the Cold Palace with my imperial mother and I was very interested in medical skills. Furthermore, I had also imparted much knowledge about medicine to Ouyang Yue. At that time, she was the only person who would visit me in the Cold Palace and naturally, I easily trusted her."

"However, she used the prescription I gave her to save a lot of patients who suffered from an epidemic. Ultimately, she became the savior in everyone's eyes and for fear that I would expose her secret, she intentionally poisoned herself and framed it on me."

"Brother Nianfeng, did you know, at that time when I learned medical skills, I went to look for the man seated on the dragon chair. But he didn't believe me as he considered that a five-year-old child couldn't possibly know of any medical knowledge. Furthermore, in those five years, I had never been in contact with anyone in the Cold Palace and all the more, I couldn't become an apprentice to a master."

"Therefore, he believed Ouyang Yue firmly without a doubt and the masses spread around the word that Ouyang Yue was a goddess the heavens sent down to save them, while I was a devil that brought about harm to the goddess. That man didn't even investigate and ordered his men to tie me up to be burned at the stake."

Yun Chutian's voice was very calm. The incident had happened long ago and these memories had long faded. Right now, she had her father, mother and Brother Yun, and that was sufficient.

"That year, Mother and Father appeared in time and saved me. Otherwise, I'm afraid... I probably would have met my end." Yun Chutian lowered her eyes and quirked her lips with indifference.

Yun Nianfeng's heart ached and he pulled Yun Chutian into his embrace while his fingers gently caressed her head. "Tian'er, I will protect you and I will also kill those who had harmed you!" A trace of killing intent streaked across his eyes.

Although they had been well protected by Yun Luofeng and Yun Xiao, Yun Nianfeng was still their child and the blood-thirsty trait in his bones couldn't be erased.

In particular, Yun Chutian was nearly killed by others. As he thought of that, fury gushed from his heart.

"Brother Nianfeng," Yun Chutian buried her head against Yun Nianfeng's chest and looked up at his handsome face. "I'm already satisfied right now. Mother and Father have always loved me like their own and it doesn't matter to me about other people."

She had never regarded that man as her father and Yun Xiao was the only father she had!

"Tian'er, do you know something?" Yun Nianfeng smiled. "This was something Mother told me before you came and I've always remembered it in my heart."

"What is it?"

"Actually, it wasn't completely random when Mother went looking for you. You were her daughter in your previous life and even though you weren't her biological child, she was the first person you saw when you opened your eyes. After that... you even gave up your life for her, so she went looking for you after you had reincarnated."

Yun Chutian was momentarily stunned. Looking up, she blinked her eyes. "So it turns out, this was how me and Mother's fate came about. It's no wonder I like her so much."

Chapter 2247:- Yun Chutian's Return (11)

"Do you intend to return to the Imperial Palace or stay together here with me?" Yun Nianfeng quirked his lips and faintly smiled while his eyes were filled with gentleness.

"Brother Nianfeng, why don't you follow me into the palace? I've subdued those people today and they wouldn't dare to act blindly without thinking." Furthermore, she wanted to cause some trouble for Ouyang Yue.

"Okay." Yun Nianfeng stood up and draped a light jacket over her shoulders. Her cheeks were similar to peaches, looking tender and smooth.

Just as they were about to leave, someone collided head-on with them. Yun Nianfeng frowned and pulled Yun Chutian to one side. Being caught off guard, the young lady fell on the floor.

"Miss!" Those servant-maids standing behind were frightened by the scene and hastily walked up to support the young lady while nervously asking, "Miss, are you alright?"

"I'm fine," The yellow-robed lady shook her head and her eyes filled with shame looked towards Yun Nianfeng. "Young master, I apologize for my actions earlier on. I wasn't paying attention and nearly bumped into you."

Yun Nianfeng tightly knitted his brows and for some reason, he did not have a favorable impression towards her.

"Pay attention when you're walking in the future. It's fine if you bumped into me but if you accidentally injured my Tian'er, I'm afraid it wouldn't end easily."

Yun Chutian lovably laughed. "Brother Nianfeng, what are you saying, how can I be easily injured?"

"You have a thin and weak build but she's so fat, wouldn't she crush you?" Yun Nianfeng indifferently glanced at the yellow-robed lady and a trace of loathing flashed through his eyes. He had seen this type of expression frequently and knew that this woman deliberately came to find trouble without even having to think.

The yellow-robed lady's complexion became deathly white due to Yun Nianfeng's words. She tightly clenched her first and forced a smile on her face. "What young master said is right. Xuelian will never repeat this mistake in the future."

She was merely well-rounded and was considered quite beautiful in this place. This could be seen from those young, talented, and handsome men who came to the Prime Minister's estate. However, she had become fat when it came out from his mouth?

"It's great that you understand. Tian'er, let's go." Yun Nianfeng pulled on Yun Chutian's small hands and left without turning back.

The yellow-robed young lady dug her nails into her palms and took a deep breath. "Xiao Lin, I will be a vegetarian in the future and you don't have to prepare meat and fish from now on."

Since he liked thin and slender women, then she would go on a diet for him. In any case, he would ultimately be her man!

A trace of a cold glint streaked across her eyes as Wang Xuelian continued asking, "Furthermore, who is the woman by his side?"

"Miss, the Imperial Palace disseminated news earlier on, saying that the seventh princess has returned. However, she took off with the young master who was in the wedding ceremony. I also asked around in the guest house a moment ago. That woman is the seventh princess.

"Brother took off with her?" Wang Xuelian sneered and her eyes were filled with mocking. "How could a half-hearted woman be any good? He must've been blind to be deceived by this woman! However, for my brother to abandon the second princess for her, he must've been lead by the nose by that vixen!"

Since Yun Nianfeng was here, did it mean that her cousin Yun Luofeng was also here?

Fortunately, she was no longer that girl in Huaxia that was controlled by her parents. Right now, she had become the Prime Minister's eldest young miss and if she were to locate Yun Luofeng, then Yun Luofeng would definitely be buried here without a doubt! Of course, if Yun Nianfeng was willing to take her as his wife, then she would pardon that woman!

.

Chapter 2248:- Yun Chutian's Return (12)

Recalling the memories of the past, Wang Xuelian returned to the Prime Minister's estate soon after. From afar, she heard her father and Wang Haotian fighting.

"Father, I've said before that I will not marry the second princess!" Wang Haotian was very determined and remained unmoved.

Wang Yu slapped him in anger and said with overflowing rage, "Presumptuous! You abandoned the second princess on her wedding day and caused the Imperial Family to lose face. If th Emperor had not regard you highly, do you think you could possibly keep your life? Furthermore, Yun Chutian will meet her end sooner or later and following her will only encumber you!

Wang Haotian licked the blood traces on the corner of his lips and said. "I don't care, I was ignorant in the past and heeded all your instructions. Right now, I finally understand. One cannot continuously submit and I want to fight for my own happiness!"

"Shut up! You must marry the second princess or else the Emperor will never let you off!" Wang Yu bitterly berated.

I wonder what that woman Yun Chutian said to have brainwashed my son, giving him the nerve to rebel against my orders and not even respecting the Imperial Family. This situation can not be allowed to continue!

"Father." A sweet-tempered voice sounded from the back.

Turning his head, Wang Yu saw Wang Xuelian walking in and his tone became gentler. "Lian'er, what's the matter?"

"Father, I have some words to say to brother."

Wang Xuelian gently smiled but her smile did not reach her eyes. Her gaze towards Wang Haotian did not contain respect but instead, was filled with contempt.

I really wonder how the original Prime Minister's daughter ended up with such a brother. Why doesn't he want a good person like the second princess? If he married her, the Prime Minister Estate would also develop accordingly. But on the other hand, it would implicate her if he refused to marry the second princess.

"Why are you looking for me?" Wang Haotian angrily replied.

He didn't know if it was his misconception or not, but he felt that ever since his sister recovered from her illness, her personality had completely changed. In the past, Wang Xuelian would be considerate of him in all aspects but right now, she gave him the feeling... that she was very selfish! That's right, selfish! It seemed as though she had completely changed!

"Alright, I'll leave you to talk." Wang Yu did not notice anything and smiled while stroking Wang Xuelian's head before he left.

Wang Xuetian revealed a smile and said, "Brother, I know you've taken a fancy to the seventh princess."

Wang Haotian stared blankly and frowned. "She said that she's forgotten her previous identity. Right now, her name is Yun Chutian and you better not address her as the seventh princess."

"Brother," Wang Xuelian smiled. "Earlier on, I met the seve... Yun Chutian and there's a man following by her side. Coincidentally, I recognized that man."

Traces of doubt flashed through Wang Haotian's eyes. "How do you know Yun Chutian's fiancee?"

"Fiancee?" This word caused her heart to fiercely clutch tight and she lowered her eyes to conceal the hatred within. "So he's actually her fiancee..."

It must be that evil woman Yun Luofeng is forcing him to marry Yun Chutian and he definitely isn't willing! That evil woman is capable of doing anything!

"Brother," Wang Xuelian looked up and smiled while looking at Wang Haotian's handsome appearance. "Do you know the identity of that young man?"

"What about his identity?"

"I'm not clear about the specifics, but I do know that he has an evil mother." Wang Xuelian's eyes were filled with hatred. "Previously, I got to know a friend. Her parents were framed which led to their deaths when she was very young and the culprit was Yun Luofeng! She wanted to seize their assets and that was why she committed such an evil act!"

.

Chapter 2249:- Yun Chutian's Return (13)

The 'friend' she mentioned was her previous incarnation. If it weren't for Yun Luofeng, she wouldn't have become an orphan and been bullied for so many years.

"What did you say?" Wang Haotian turned pale from fright. "That young man actually has such an evil mother? If Yun Chutian were to marry into his family, wouldn't she have to suffer?"

"Xuelian, what should I do? I can't allow Chutian to be cheated into a wolf's lair!"

"Brother," Wang Xuelian smirked and said, "Secretly feed Yun Chutian this medicine and after you've done the deed with her, she will become your wife."

Wang Haotian stared blankly and frowned. "I don't think this is a good idea. Also, Yun Chutian said that she's invulnerable to poison."

"Invulnerable to poison doesn't mean impossible to be poisoned. Moreover, this medicine isn't poison and it'll be effective if used on her." Furthermore, Wang Xuelian completely disbelieved the matter of invulnerability to poison.

"This won't do. I will inform Yun Chutian about her future mother-in-law's true colors instead." Wang Haotian knitted his brows. He did not wish to harm such a fine lady.

"My dear brother, do you think she will believe you? The IQ of a woman in love is a negative number and she'll never believe what you say. Take this medicine with you first and I trust that you will know what is beneficial for you."

Wang Haotian did not understand what she meant by 'negative number' but he inferred that Yun Chutian would not believe in him.

"I have to try, but I can't harm her." Wang Haotian glanced at the powdered medicine Wang Xuelian passed to him and did not accept it. Instead, he hastily walked out the door.

"Useless trash!" Wang Xuelian watched Wang Haotian leaving and sneered, "Since you don't have the nerve, then I'll help you."

Her eyes flickered and she revealed a determined smile.

Back in those days in Huaxia, there was no lack of transmigration novels she had read and people who transmigrated are all leading roles! Since she was a lead, then Yun Nianfeng would certainly be her destined one.

As for the so-called fiancee... She was only cannon fodder stuck between them and she would have to leave sooner or later.

...

Within the Imperial Palace.

Holding on to a pastry, Yun Chutian sat on her bed with her legs raised up. Her bare feet looked petite and adorable and while the corner of her lips was stained with crumbs. She stuck out her tongue and lightly licked her lips.

"Why hasn't brother Nianfeng returned?" She pouted and thought aloud.

"Miss Chutian." Suddenly, Wang Haotian's voice sounded from outside. "Can I enter?"

Although he asked, he did not wait for Yun Chutian's consent and entered.

"Why did you come in?" Yun Chutian stood up from the bed and asked while being in a bad mood.

Wang Haotian stared blankly. Wasn't their relationship fine just a while back? Why did he feel that... Yun Chutian was refusing his approach?

This feeling caused Wang Haotian to be flustered. "I... I came here to find you."

"But brother Nianfeng doesn't like you." Yun Chutian blinked her huge eyes. "I don't want to be friends with people brother Nianfeng isn't fond of." In any case, brother Nianfeng's feelings were of the utmost importance.

"Miss Chutian," Wang Haotian became even more flustered. "I only came to inform you of something. I heard that the mother of your fiancee is very evil and has committed numerous evil acts. I was afraid you would be kept in the dark and in turn, this would ruin your entire life. Therefore, I specially came here to tell you the truth."

Yun Chutian became angry and a scarlet glint flashed through her eyes as she furiously shouted, "I originally thought you were pretty nice and even if brother Nianfeng wasn't fond of you, I wouldn't loathe you. However, I didn't expect that you would actually bad-mouth my mother! Get lost, get out of my room!"

Chapter 2250:- Yun Chutian's Return (14)

"Miss Yun!" Not understanding what he said wrong, Wang Haotian rushed forward as he wanted to grab Yun Chutian's hand.

Unexpectedly, she directly struck him with her palms, causing him to fly out at that instant.

"Get lost, you're not welcome here! Those who speak badly of my mother aren't good people so get lost!"

Everyone had a bottom line and hers was brother Nianfeng and her parents whom she loved dearly. She would not allow it even if it was just a single word that others said to badmouth them!

"Cough cough!" Wang Haotian fell on the ground and coughed up blood. His complexion was somewhat pale as he looked at her furious expression while he was in pain.

"Chutian, what happened?" Suddenly, a light breeze made its way into the room and Yun Nianfeng quickly walked to Yun Chutian's side. Looking at her bright red face, he unconsciously felt hsi heart ache. "Tell Brother, did someone bully you?" His eyes swept to Wang Haotian on the ground and killing intent gradually surfaced in his eyes.

"Brother Nianfeng, tell him to get lost, I don't wish to see him!" Yun Chutian stuck out her lips and angrily said.

"Alright, I'll chase him away right now." Yun Nianfeng's gaze was very chilly as he walked towards Wang Haotian step by step.

"Chutian has always been good-tempered and wouldn't get angry easily. Since you could cause her to get angry, you're pretty amazing." Yun Nianfeng sneered. "Are you going to leave on your own accord or I shall throw you out?"

Wang Haotian supported himself and stood up. He glanced at Yun Chutian despairingly and ultimately turned away and walked out. His hands by his side had involuntarily clenched tight and he only managed to suppress his suffering after taking a deep breath.

That was his first time he liked someone and so it turns out, it was that painful to like someone...

Without walking far, Wang Haotian saw Wang Xuelian waiting for him not far away. The instant she saw Wang Haotian, she smiled. "I said this earlier on, she'll never believe in you. So do you still need my medicine?"

Wang Haotian trembled and shut his eyes. "I don't wish to harm her. She loathes me right now."

"Loathing you will only be temporary and after she discovers Yun Luofeng's true colors, she'll only be grateful to you. At that time when you and your wife are mutually in love, will she still remember your past mistakes?" Wang Xuelian quirked her lips and smiled. "You have to know, if you don't help her today, perhaps... her whole future will be ruined."

Wang Haotian was silent and looked up after a long time. "She no longer welcomes me and I can't spike her food with the medicine."

"Don't worry about this. I've already tasked someone to do the deed. At that time, I'll get someone to lure Yun Nianfeng away and you'll just have to enter."

She did not want Yun Chutian to take advantage of her Yun Nianfeng and so, he had to be lured away. Otherwise, wouldn't her man's first time be snatched away by that wild woman? Towards these matters, Wang Xuelian had a fixated ideology. From now on, Yun Nianfeng's first time must be with her and he could only have her as his only woman. She would never share her husband with someone else!

"Fine." Wang Haotian opened his eyes. "I'll agree. As long as she won't be deceived, I am perfectly willing even if I am to be hated!"

"Just wait to marry your beautiful and lovable wife." Wang Xuelian smiled complacently. In this place, no one could win against her.

Nightime, the moonlight filtered down.

Yun Chutian quietly stayed within her palace and perhaps because those people were afraid of her, no one had ever come to disturb her. Even the second princess did not appear.

Chapter 2251:- Yun Chutian's Return (15)

"Seventh princess." A palace maid brought in a plate of pastries. "This is the chestnut cake you asked for."

"I've said before, don't address me as the seventh princess," Yun Chutian said unhappily. "It's fine if you call me Miss Yun."

"I understand, Miss Yun." The palace maid lowered her head without moving.

"You can go down first." Yun Chutian pouted and said impatiently. The palace maid straightened her back and withdrew. Within the palace, only Yun Nianfeng and Yun Chutian remained

"Brother Nianfeng, that palace maid is suspicious." After the palace maid left, Yun Chutian's expression immediately sank.

"Oh?" Yun Nianfeng turned towards the young lady by his side and asked. "What's the problem?"

"I mentioned this to the palace maids of Qinglan Palace in the morning that they weren't allowed to call me as the seventh princess, and they can only call me by Miss Yun. However, that palace maid committed that mistake."

Yun Nianfeng quirked his brow and asked with a fake smile. "Perhaps she had forgotten?"

"No," Yun Chutian shook her head. "I lived in the palace for five years and I understand the rules and regulations here. As a maid within the palace, they would never commit such a basic mistake. Therefore, that maid earlier on isn't from Qinglan Palace, so could it have been sent by my second sister?"

Earlier on, Yun Chutian had chased out the original palace maids of Qinglan Palace and gathered a few servants from the Cold Palace. However, even those maids would never commit such a basic mistake.

Yun Nianfeng glanced at the pastries placed before Yun Chutian. "There's a problem with these pastries."

Hearing his words, Yun Chutian lifted a piece of pastry and sniffed it. "Love potion." As she mentioned these words, both their expressions changed.

"I originally thought that Ouyang Yue wanted to cause me harm but after thinking it through, she knows my capabilities and wouldn't do this. Also, it isn't poison added here but... love potion..."

The so-called love potion was an aphrodisiac and Ouyang Yue did not have any reason to spike her food.

"Wang Haotian." A name surfaced from Yun Nianfeng's mind and his eyes revealed a chilly glint.

Yun Chutian stared blankly. "I doubt it. He said that he thinks of me like a little sister."

"Chutian, I'm a man and you have to believe in my perception. The way he looks at you is very different, seemingly like looking at a lover. Therefore, he completely has the motive to do this," Yun Nianfeng explained in all seriousness.

"Then... what should I do? Should I expose him?"

"I have an idea." Yun Nianfeng secretly smiled. "Tell me where Ouyang Yue's palace is located."

"En..." Yun Chutian hesitated for a moment and held her jaw. "Brother Nianfeng, what are you plotting?"

"Of course, it's to carry out the good designs of others."

Who allowed Wang Haotian to have the nerve to peep on Chutian? In that case, then he would prevent him from having these rights forever! Furthermore, this aphrodisiac debt was on him and he had to foot the bill for his actions!

...

Within the side chamber, just as Ouyang Yue intended to go to bed, a silhouette dashed in. With a bang, something hit her head, causing her to instantly become senseless.

Yun Nianfeng looked at the unconscious woman with disdain and after thinking, he lifted the bedsheet on one side and bound it around her before finding a piece of rope to fasten it up. He then used the rope to drag her body.

Luckily, he had knocked those patrolling guards unconscious earlier on and so, he did not encounter anyone on the way. After he arrived in Qinglan Palace, he threw Ouyang Yue inside.

Chapter 2252:- Yun Chutian's Return (16)

Yun Chutian's eyes brightened up and she said, "Brother Nianfeng, should we hide inside here to watch the show?"

Yun Nianfeng's face darkened. "It's better for us to wait outside."

"Wait!" Seeing Yun Nianfeng reaching towards Ouyang Yue, a glint streaked across Yun Chutian's eyes as she happily fished out a bottle of spirit liquid. "This is an aphrodisiac I concocted using Mother's spirit medicine and it is much more effective than yours. I'll go and give it to her now."

After this, she slowly walked up and carefully fed Ouyang Yue the liquid. Although Ouyang Yue was currently unconscious, the liquid still managed to into her body. A moment later, her body warmed up and even her breathing became hurried.

"Brother Nianfeng, let's go. This spirit liquid's effect is very strong and if you stay you'll definitely be pounced on." Yun Chutian dusted her hands and walked to Yun Nianfeng's side while she forcefully held his arm. "You're mine and I won't give you to other women."

All these years, Yun Nianfeng had been accustomed to Yun Chutian confessing from time to time and a wave of warmth spread through his heart. However, thinking back to the spirit liquid in her hands, his expression sank.

"Shouldn't you give me an explanation about that spirit liquid?"

Yun Chutian blinked her eyes and used a bewildered expression to ask, "I don't understand what you mean."

"Are you going to continue acting? Why did you bring along such an item with you?"

"This..." Yun Chutian carefully shot a glance at Yun Nianfeng, "I... wanted to give you the liquid. I didn't expect that I would use it on Ouyang Yue."

Yun Nianfeng's expression became even darker. "I've said before that after you're eighteen and you're still determined to marry me, I will definitely marry you."

Wasn't he just afraid that this girl was too young and might regret it in the future? At that time, wouldn't he have harmed her whole life?

"Brother Nianfeng, I know what I want." Yun Chutian's eyes were very bright as she looked up at the handsome young man before her. "I am also very sure of my feelings. As long as you're willing to marry me right now, then I will immediately get married to you and I won't regret this forever!"

"Are you sure?"

Yun Nianfeng narrowed his eyes and pulled Yun Chutian into the underbrush at one side while he tightly held her. "Are you sure you won't regret this?"

Seemingly sensing his sudden change, Yun Chutian somewhat panicked. Although she had prepared the aphrodisiac, she didn't dare try it, didn't she? However, why was brother Nianfeng acting as if he had taken an aphrodisiac right now? It made her feel afraid... "Brother Nianfeng, I..."

"There's still time for you to back out." A smile quirked upon his face as he looked at her in all seriousness.

Yun Chutian's heart clenched tight. Looking up and staring directly into his eyes, she pursed her lips. "I want to marry you."

From the beginning, she had already wanted to marry him.

"Alright, since you're determined, then what kind of man am I if I don't make any move?" Yun Nianfeng lowered his head. "However, I've given you the chance to back out and you didn't value it. In the future, if you want to back out, I will not let you go."

He tightly pressed onto Yun Chutian and fiercely kissed her tender lips. His kiss was very forceful as he bit on her lips, causing her eyes to gleam with tears.

"Wu..." She wanted to struggle free, but his strength was huge, to the extent she couldn't break free. This feeling caused Yun Chutian to feel anxious. Her fingers clutched the ground and she pitifully looked at the young man before her.

Yun Chutian's Return (16.5)

Brother Nianfeng was normally a gentle person, but why... was he so wild at that moment?

"Chutian," Yun Nianfeng released his hold on her and said, "In the future, I won't let you go. Even if you want to leave, you can't."

Yun Chutian nodded. Suddenly, she remembered something and spoke pitifully, "Brother Nianfeng, could you refrain from being so forceful when you're kissing me? It's... painful..."

Only now did Yun Nianfeng notice her reddened and swollen lips, and his eyes were apologetic. "I'm sorry to have hurt you. I will be more careful next time."

"Someone's here!" His eyes turned and hastily took Yun Chutian and pulled her into his embrace. They both looked to the front of the palace.

Under the moolight, Wang Haotian's footsteps were somewhat rushed as he pushed open the door to Qinglan Palace.

Looking at him here, Yun Chutian was disappointed. "It's really him..."

"Right now, do you understand what type of people those men are outside?" Yun Nianfeng quirked his brow and his words implied that they were all bastards and only he was the best.

Not long after that, sounds of moaning could be heard from the room. Those sounds disrupted the quiet night and resonated throughout the skies. It also caused Yun Chutian to blush as her ears turned red while she tightly held onto Yun Nianfeng's sleeve.

"Brother Nianfeng, should we... retreat?"

"There's no need." Yun Nianfeng smiled and covered Yun Chutian's ears with his hands. "This way, you won't hear anything."

As expected, Yun Chutian's expression became much better without those sounds. She curiously looked towards Yun Nianfeng and asked, "Brother Nianfeng, don't you find those sounds very... ear-piercing?"

She couldn't find any suitable words to describe the sounds and so, she mentioned it as ear-piercing.

Yun Nianfeng's lips twitched. What could he possibly say?

Should he tell Yun Chutian that he was ignorant when he was young and frequently hid under their parent's bed while playing hide-and-seek with their servants? Furthermore, he had heard those sounds for an entire night?

If this girl were to know about this, he couldn't be sure how she would tease him.

"I've automatically blocked out those sounds." Yun Niangfeng quirked his lips and looked towards the lights that came from the corridor. "It seems like the sounds are too loud and attracted other people. This is good too, and saves us from more trouble."

"Of course." Yun Chutian proudly lifted her tiny head. "I'm the one who produced that liquid so how could Ouyang Yue possibly endure it?"

Yun Nianfeng touched Yun Chutian's nose in a tender manner and said, "After Mother returns, I'll inform her of what you did, and you can explain at that time about why you created that medicine."

"Ah?" Yun Chutian looked like she would cry. "Brother Nianfeng, please don't tell mother about it. I know my mistakes and I won't dare to do so in the future."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes! I guarantee I won't do it again!" Yun Chutian hastily nodded. That incident could never be found out by her mother else she would punish her to recite those boring books again.

Yun Chutian recovered her sense all of a sudden and asked, "That's right, you mentioned Mother is coming?"

"You're Mother's foster daughter and soon to be daughter-in-law, so how could she possibly not come to back you up?"

"However..." Yun Chutian felt somewhat stifled, "didn't Mother agree to let me take revenge myself?"

"Agreeing was a temporary measure. If she hadn't agreed, you certainly would have made an excuse not to go and then found an opportunity to come here later when everyone was unaware. In that case, how is she supposed to support you?" Yun Nianfeng smiled. "Mother wants everyone to know that you're her daughter and prevent anyone from Heavenly Emperor City from looking down on you."

Chapter 2253:- Yun Chutian's Return (17)

Yun Chutian's mood gradually turned for the better after hearing his words.

"Brother Nianfeng, don't tell mother you kissed me earlier on. If she finds out, she'll definitely arrange a wedding for us."

In that instant, Yun Nianfeng's expression darkened. "Didn't you say you wanted to marry me? You're regretting it so soon?" Once again, he bit on Yun Chutian's lips and evilly said, "I won't give you the chance to regret."

"I do want to marry you, Brother Nianfeng. But once we get married, we have to consummate our marriage..." Yun Chutian's petite face was somewhat pale. "They said that it'll hurt a lot during consummation, and I'm... scared..."

"Don't be afraid, I will be gentle." Just as he spoke, he felt something amiss. Why did they start talking about consummating when they just started their relationship?

"Shhhh," Noticing the approaching footsteps sounds, he softly said, "They're coming."

The leader of the group was Ouyang Xun. His expression was very unsightly and his eyes were cold. He hadn't believed it earlier when he heard news of Wang Haotian entering the palace in secret. Right now, upon hearing the sounds from within the room, it caused his expression to turn gloomy.

"Wang Xuelian, you're sure that Wang Haotian is in Yun Chutian's room?" Ouyang Xun took a deep breath and spoke in a chilly tone. It was nothing much if someone else was in the room. Why did it have to be Wang Haotian?

He was originally going to marry Ouyang Yue but their wedding was wrecked by that woman Yun Chutian. Right now, they were even having illicit sexual relations! How was the Imperial Family supposed to maintain their face?

"Your Majesty, I heard from my brother that Yun Chutian sent him a letter late at night to ask for a meeting. I believe that my brother can only belong to the second princess and so I went to find Your Majesty to inform you of this. However, my brother is innocent and I beg of Your Majesty to let him off." Wang Xuelian's face revealed unconcealed anxiousness, but while no one was looking, a complacent smirk quirked on her lips.

Yun Chutian, you're no longer a virgin and I'd like to see how you can seduce my man now!

Ouyang Xun's expression was cold as he sternly shouted, "Men, open the door!"

Two imperial bodyguards went up and suddenly kicked the door open. The room was pitch-black and they could only faintly hear the movements of the two blurry silhouettes before them.

"Raise the lights!" Following Ouyang Xun's orders, a eunuch took out a lantern from the back and placed it on the table.

However, after they saw the scene in the room, everyone stared blankly...

Wang Haotian's looked fearful, perhaps not expecting Ouyang Xun to appear at this moment. Just as he wanted to speak to the woman beneath him, he suddenly noticed a seductive face. He was frightened for a moment and quickly separated their bodies as he retreated in haste.

"Why... why is it you?"

Ouyang Yue released a seductive gaze and stood up while swinging her hips. Her torn clothing also revealed kiss marks all over her body.

"Wuu, I still want more." She dashed towards Wang Haotian, seemingly not noticing the crowd that had rushed into the room.

Wang Xuelian was stunned. Why is the woman in here not Yun Chutian, but the second princess?

"I want more, give it to me!" Ouyang Yue tugged Wang Haotian's sleeves as she leaned over.

Wang Haotian flung her away from shock as his complexion was ashen. "Why are you the one in this room? Where is Miss Chutian?"

After he spoke, a laugh suddenly sounded from the back.

"You're looking for me?" Wang Haotian hastily turned around and saw the young man and woman walking past the crowd and making their way in.

.

Chapter 2254:- Yun Chutian's Return (18)

Yun Chutian crossed her hands while smiling as if she was looking at a good show.

"Miss Chutian, please listen to my explanation!" Wang Haotian became anxious, wanting to pull on Yun Chutian's hand as he came up to her.

However, before he even managed to walk up to her, he was pushed away by a young man's palm. "Get lost, don't use your dirty hands to touch Tian'er!"

Wang Haotian retreated a few steps and nearly fell on the ground. He looked at Yun Chutian with despair and saw the loathing in her eyes. Even if it was before, she had never loathed him to this extent...

Ouyang Xun went up and slapped Ouyang Yue's face. Under everyone's astonished gaze, Ouyang Yue gradually recovered her senses.

In that instant, all the previous scenes surfaced in her mind, causing her complexion to turn deathly white and she suddenly shouted, "Ahhh!!"

Why? Why was she here?

In addition, she had committed such immoral acts?

Ouyang Yue trembled and suddenly, she noticed the young woman standing by Yun Nianfeng's side who was rejoicing at her misfortune. All of a sudden, she pounced over. "It's you, it must be you who did this! Was it you who brought me here and got Wang Haotian to do such... do such immoral acts?"

Yun Chutian looked confused. "What are you saying? Aren't you and Wang Haotian husband and wife? Earlier on, I was walking past the door and saw you with Wang Haotian walking in, so I thought you wanted to return to your Qinglan palace to consummate your marriage. To think I had good intentions and decided to let you two stay here for the night, but you returned kindness with ingratitude."

"You..." Ouyang Yue turned red from anger and fiercely glared at Yun Chutian. She knew that after tonight, she would have her reputation swept away and everything was caused by Yun Chutian!

"Yun Chutian, I will never let you off!" Ouyang Yue turned towards Ouyang Xun. "Imperial Father, I was knocked unconscious by someone earlier in my palace and was given some unknown medicine. As a result, I acted in such a way! I'm certain that someone must have framed me."

She had always been looking at Yun Chutian and the meaning was very obvious. Who else other than Yun Chutian would frame her?

Ouyang Xun had also thought about this point and he coldly glanced at Yun Chutian. Perhaps it was because of her methods that frightened him, but he dared not speak another word.

"Brother Nianfeng, bring out the item I asked you to search for." Yun Chutian smiled and stretched out her hands while looking at the pale Ouyang Yue with her brows raised.

"Sure." Yun Nianfeng responded and took out a book that had already turned yellow and handed it to Yun Chutian.

The instant she saw the book, a trace of panic streaked across Ouyang Yue's eyes. How did he manage to find the book that she had hidden so deeply?

Yun Chutian did not care about Ouyang Yue's panicked expression as she glanced towards Ouyang Xun with her brows raised.

"Right now, I shall let all of you see Ouyang Yue's true colors!"

"What do you mean?" Ouyang Xun frowned as he coldly asked.

Yun Chutian blinked and passed the book to Ouyang Xun as she said, "As Ouyang Yue's father, you should be able to recognize her handwriting. In that case, please take a look at whether this book was written by her."

Ouyang Xun blanked out momentarily before shaking his head and said, "No. It's not." He was still capable of recognizing his own daughter's handwriting. This handwritten book was not written by his daughter...

"Then do you remember all the medicinal ingredients that were required to cure the epidemic?" Yun Chutian casually flipped through a few pages. Without even taking a look, she had flipped to the important page. "Was it these few ingredients?"

.
.
.
Chapter 2255:- Yun Chutian's Return (19)

Ouyang Yue looked at the book in astonishment and frowned. "I remember it was precisely these few medicinal ingredients."

Yun Chutian smiled and took back the book before speaking. "Firstly, you've said that this is not Ouyang Yue's handwriting and secondly, you've confirmed that these are the medicinal ingredients used to cure the epidemic. Then can I trouble Ouyang Yue to explain the problem of this book?"

"I..." A trace of panic streaked across Ouyang Yue's eyes. "Imperial father, this book was given to me by my Master. However, my Master doesn't like being known by others and so... so he did not allow me to reveal his existence."

Her excuse was quite reasonable. After all, Ouyang Yue was still quite young back then and it was quite reliable to say she had a Master behind her back.

"Your Master?" Yun Chutian's eyes were filled with smiles. "And where is your Master located at? I will invite him out as I have a few medical questions that I would like to ask in passing."

Ouyang Yue suppressed her internal jitters and fiercely glared at Yun Chutian.

No one was clearer than her about Yun Chutian's attainments in the medical field. That year when she still of a young age, she had already possessed such powerful medical skills and after numerous years had passed, that skill would've improved by leaps and bounds.

If she were to randomly bring a stranger, she would be easily exposed. Thinking of this, Ouyang Yue steadied her senses. "My Master isn't someone you can meet if you want to. Therefore, you should stop making such useless requests."

"It doesn't matter. I'm sure you're aware of my strength and this person beside me is my brother. He is much more powerful compare to me and as long as you reveal your Master's location, I'll immediately head over to invite him here." In any case, she was dead set on exposing Ouyang Yue's true colors.

Ouyang Yue bit her lips. "No, by doing so, you'll bring about a calamity to our entire Imperial family. My Master is very powerful and you don't have the ability to withstand his anger!"

"Even if we incur his wrath, it's our own business and he'll naturally release his anger on us if he were to do so. I will never expose that you revealed his whereabouts. Right now, can you tell us his identity?"

"You..." Ouyang Yue's face became flushed red from anger. "Yun Chutian, are you sure you want to oppose me?"

Yun Chutian blinked her eyes while revealing an innocent expression. "I only wanted to meet your Master, so how is this opposing you? If your Master truly exists, why aren't you willing to reveal his identity? Or could it be that your Master's status is too lowly?"

"Nonsense!" Out of a fit of anger, she directly said, "My Master is one of the true gods in this continent, Yun Luofeng! A person like her is not someone you can meet even once throughout your whole life yet you're thinking of finding her?"

Ever since she was of a young age, Yun Chutian knew that Ouyang Yue couldn't bear to be provoked. Once she was provoked, she would dare to say anything to prove herself. However, what Yun Chutian didn't expect was that Ouyang Yue actually claimed that her Master was Yun Luofeng!

"Yun Luofeng?" Ouyang Xun frowned. "Yun Xiao?"

Whoosh!

He suddenly reacted. It was no wonder he felt something was familiar when he heard the name Yun Xiao. Wasn't he one of the two true gods in this continent?

Yun Chutian's father was a true god?

Impossible! This was merely a coincidence! If Yun Chutian's father was really a true god, she would've returned to take revenge long ago. Even if she only came now, she would certainly bring a group of experts and not come here alone. Therefore, her father merely had the same name!

Wang Xuelian was also astonished. Yun Luofeng, one of the two true gods? How could this be possible? How could her Master be a true god?

.
.
.
Chapter 2256:- Yun Chutian's Return (20)

She had been bullied by her in Huaxia and even after arriving at this Continent, she was also suppressed by her? She deliberately lowered her voice and questioned the maid behind her, "What is it about Yun Luofeng?"

That maid answered immediately, "Yun Luofeng is one of the true gods in this Continent and the dictator of this world. As early as a few dozen years ago, her reputation had spread worldwide and no one wouldn't know that she had broken through to the realm of a true god fifteen years ago."

Became widely known dozen of years ago?

And broke through to true god fifteen years ago?

However, Yun Luofeng merely disappeared from Huaxia ten years ago. Therefore, it was impossible for the woman they worshipped to be that Yun Luofeng she knew of!

At that very moment, Wang Xuelian did not know that Yun Luofeng had indeed arrived on that Continent more than a dozen years ago. And all the more, she did not know that she had made a trip back to Huaxia ten years back. Precisely due to her ignorance, she had committed such a low-level mistake.

"Oh god, what a joke." Yun Chutian held her abdomen and laughed to the extent she could not straighten her back. "Brother Nianfeng, that woman actually dared to tell such a lie. Hahaha!"

Ouyang Yue's expression turned ashen. In fact, she regretted it the instant she said that. Unfortunately, a released arrow couldn't possibly be stopped and she could only grit her teeth and continued with her lie. "What you can't achieve doesn't apply to me. My master had said that I am the most talented disciple she had ever seen and someone like you don't even have the qualifications to worship her!"

Yun Chutian's eyes curved into crescents. "Then have you seen her before?"

"Obviously."

Though it was only from a painting.

That painted portrait was something her father obtained with great difficulty and his intention was so that he wouldn't accidentally provoke that terrifying woman. Therefore, he wanted to remember her appearance by heart. Of course, with Wang Xuelian's status, she could look at that portrait but she did not know of Yun Luofeng's status in that Continent.

Yun Nianfeng's expression became unsightly. Wang Xuelian was only one of the cases that he had encountered. In other places that he wasn't aware, how many more had made use of his mother's reputation to make a fortune? Perhaps some of their behavior had even soiled his mother's reputation!

"Your Majesty."

Just then, a bodyguard walked in and whispered a few things in Ouyang Xun's ears.

Ouyang Xun looked happy and suddenly laughed. "You shouldn't hurry to make trouble with my daughter but should be worried about yourself instead. My royal elders have been in closed-door cultivation, but when they return tonight, it shall be your doomsday!"

"Is that so?" Yun Chutian's lips curled up. She then tugged on Yun Nianfeng's arms and said, "Brother Nianfeng, these bad people bullied me. Say, how should I take care of them?"

Yun Nianfeng stroked Yun Chutian's head in a pampering manner. "Do what you like. Be it me, Father or Mother, we will stand behind you."

His smile was exceptionally blinding and his indulgent expression caused Wang Xuelian to be overcome by jealousy as she wished she could dismember Yun Chutian.

Who did she think she was to snatch her man?

"Hmph!" Ouyang Xun coldly snorted when he saw the smile on Yun Chutian's face and sternly said, "Invite those elders here, and say that someone wants to attack our Tianhuang City!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

One of the guards respectfully cupped his fist before he made his retreat. Yun Chutian did not stop him. She originally intended to settle all the problems in one go and since the elders have come out of closed-door cultivation, then it was time for her to take revenge and wipe out a grudge.

.

Chapter 2257:- Yun Chutian's Return (21)

Boom!

Under the pitch-black night skies, thunder sounded and at that instant, something even louder than the thunder echoed throughout.

"Who is so bold as to cause trouble in my Heavenly Emperor City!"

Yun Nianfeng gently rubbed Yun Chutian's head and his lips curved into an arc. "I'll settle the problems outside and you can stay here."

"Brother Nianfeng," Yun Chutian pouted, "didn't we agree that I'll avenge myself?"

"I'm afraid that they would dirty your hands." Yun Nianfeng's tone was filled with pampering and his expression seemed as if one could drown in his love.

Yun Chutian looked at Yun Nianfeng's handsome features and said, "Brother Nianfeng, why do I feel that you're getting more handsome the more I look at you? You're as good-looking as father and mother. I love brother Nianfeng the most."

Yun Chutian had been influenced by her surroundings. Both Yun Luofeng and Yun Xiao looked gorgeous, and as she had grown up in such an environment she was very picky with appearances.

As to why she liked brother Nianfeng...

That was because he was very handsome and except for her parents, no one could compare.

A blush crept up on Yun Nianfeng's handsome face. "Wait here for a few seconds, I'll be back very soon." After he said that, Yun Nianfeng left the room in a split second.

...

"Shameless!"

Wang Xuelian's expression changed. She never expected that woman to say such vile things and most importantly, right in front of her man!

Yun Nianfeng's departure was not for long and true to what he said, he returned to her side in mere seconds. His expression remained unchanged and after he coldly swept across everyone before him, he shifted his gaze back to Yun Chutian. "They're merely a bunch of ants and I've taken care of it."

Ouyang Xun's expression suddenly changed as he sternly shouted, "Why aren't the elders here yet?" He absolutely would not believe that a young man who still had the scent of breast milk could defeat several elders.

"Your Majesty!"

That guard who came earlier to report had hastily walked in once again. This time, he was trembling with fright on his face. "Your Majesty, those elders are... dead."

Boom!

Like a bolt from the blue, Ouyang Xun became struck dumb. Everyone within the palace had an ashen complexion as their fearful eyes turned toward Yun Nianfeng.

Impossible! What was the background of that young man? How... could he have such strength?

Yun Nianfeng, Yun Luofeng, Yun Xiao!

The combination of these three names made Ouyang Xun recall what she said before and his gaze was filled with astonishment.

Don't tell me... Yun Chutian wasn't lying when she acknowledged Yun Xiao as her father?

Ouyang Xun foolishly stood up and his handsome yet deathly pale face looked at Yun Chutian along with Yun Nianfeng. His lips trembled for a second and it was as if he wanted to say something but ultimately did not do so.

"Young Master Nianfeng."

Yun Nianfeng's fingers gently caressed Yun Chutian's hair while a gentle and lovely voice sounded by the side. His brows furrowed together while he glanced at Wang Xuelian with a cool eye.

"Fatty, it's you again?"

Wang Xuelian's fingers tightly clenched together. She was merely a hundred and ten or so pounds and that was considered plump, not fat! Yet that Yun Chutian actually called her a fatty!

She took a deep breath and said, "Young Master Nianfeng, my name is Wang Xuelian."

"Brother Nianfeng." Yun Chutian's slender arms coiled around Yun Nianfeng's heck as she spoke with a giggle. "Honestly speaking, I've never seen such a shameless person. You've humiliated her as such, yet she pretended as if nothing happened."

Even if Wang Xuelian had thick skin, her face still changed slightly when she heard what Yun Chutian said. A trace of fury then streaked across her eyes as she looked at Yun Chutian..

Chapter 2258:- Yun Chutian's Return (22)

"Brother Nianfeng, that woman even glared at me," Yun Chutian pitifully complained as she pouted.

Don't assume that she was oblivious. That woman had taken a fancy to brother Nianfeng and she would never give anyone a chance to stand between them! Moreover, that Wang Xuelian was also Wang Haotian's sister. Both of them were jackals of the same tribe!

"I didn't!" Wang Xuelian hastily retracted her gaze while she put on a grieved expression. "Young Master Nianfeng, I've been dieting these days and soon... very soon I'll be as slim as her. Furthermore, her relationship with my brother is also unclear and don't you think that she's dirty?"

A chill streaked across Yun Chutian's eyes and she walked towards Wang Xuelian with a loveable smile. After that, she slapped Wang Xuelian.

Wang Xuelian widened her eyes in shock and said, "You..."

What she said was the truth, yet that woman dared to hit her!

"I'm not only gonna hit you, I'm also going to kick you!" Yun Chutian's leg kicked Wang Xuelian's chest and slammed her on the ground. She then raised her chin and said, "I finally know why Mother likes to kick people so much..."

"Cough cough!"

Wang Xuelian spat out two mouths of blood as she turned towards Yun Nianfeng with an unsightly expression. "Young Master Nianfeng, aren't you going to keep her in check?"

Furthermore, she said that for his own good, didn't she?

"It's useless even if you look for brother Nianfeng. He's willing to pamper and love me, so I can be as willful as I want! Since you said bad things about me, then I'll hit you back!"

She had been pampered and so she had the right to be willful and unreasonable.

"Enough!" Ouyang Xun's expression was back to normal and he coldly shouted. "Yun Chutian, don't forget that Yue's master is Yun Luofeng, one of the true gods in the Continent. Do you think that everything is alright after that boy defeated the elders of our Heavenly Emperor City? When Yue'er brings out her master, I'd like to see how are you going to be arrogant!"

Ouyang Yue's expression was deathly white and even her heart trembled. Yet at that moment, she could not expose her inner feelings.

"You're sure that your master gave you this book?" Yun Chutian turned over and looked at Ouyang Yue with a chilly smile. "I'll give you another chance to speak the truth."

Ouyang Yue bit her lips and said, "Yes."

She would never admit that Yun Chutian had passed her that book in the past. The problem was, there were a few questions she could not understand in the book and so, had left it around. Supposedly she had hidden it well so how did that stinky brat find it?

Yun Chutian laughed. Her smile was very lovable and lively. Coupled with her crescent-shaped eyes, she looked very animated.

"If your master was someone else, then I would have to go through the trouble to locate them. But the person you are speaking of right now... you will probably meet her very soon."

Ouyang Yue's eyes widened.

What did she mean by that?

Why would she meet her very soon?

Just when everyone was in shock, a dragon roar sounded from the skies. The roar was heaven-shocking and caused all the citizens to come out of their homes.

Ouyang Xun's expression was deathly white. A trace of fright flashed through his eyes as he ran out of the palace in quick steps.

Seeing that Ouyang Xun had gone out, everyone else also ran out in succession as they looked at the massive white dragon in the skies with fright in their eyes.

"It's that dragon!" Ouyang Xun recognized it at one glance and that was the same dragon that took Yun Chutian away back then. He recalled that a white-robed lady stood on top of the dragon at that time. However, as her face seemed to be concealed by a layer of fog and he had been busy escaping, he did not notice her appearance.

The white dragon flew around the skies while the white light on its body had brightened up the night skies.

Chapter 2259:- Yun Chutian's Return (23)

Ouyang Xun was astonished and he also could not understand the motive behind that dragon's arrival.

All of a sudden, a eunuch shrieked with a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, there's two people on top of it!"

Only then did Ouyang Xun see the appearance of those two people. The woman's white robes fluttered with the wind and she was as beautiful as a painting. As for the man dressed in black that stood by her side, he looked as cold as a falcon but the moment when he gazed at the woman by his side, there were traces of imperceptible gentleness from his eyes.

Both of them were as perfect as an immortal couple and were so stunning to the extent everyone could not look away.

Whoosh!

Just as everyone was in shock, those two had leaped down from the dragon's head and steadily landed.

Ouyang Xun's expression had changed from its initial shock to amazement as he fixed his gaze on that picturesque woman in white.

"You... you're Miss Yun Luofeng?"

That woman who had caused a great disturbance to the entire continent?

Wang Xuelian's lips trembled as she retreated backward. She shook her head in denial and was stunned to the extent she could not utter a single word. Even if then years had passed, she would never forget that face.

However, in the span of ten years, many had already grown old while she had also matured into an adult. However... why was that woman as beautiful and young as if it was ten years ago?

Moreover, her appearance did not have the slightest change compared to ten years ago.

What Wang Xuelian could not accept was that the woman had ridden here on a dragon and from what Ouyang Xun said, she could infer that this Yun Luofeng was the true god they mentioned earlier on.

It wasn't just the same name?

No! How could she possibly accept that fact?

When Yun Chutian saw Yun Luofeng, she could not help but reveal a smile. In a flash, her nimble body had rushed into Yun Luofeng's embrace as she looked up with her adorable and lovely face.

"Mother, you're finally here."

Mother?

Ouyang Xun's face had twitched throughout and his heart seemed to have been struck heavily by a fist that made him breathless.

Of course, Ouyang Yue was even more astonished. She had never seen Yun Luofeng in person but she had seen her portrait and it was identical to that woman! However, why was that powerful woman Yun Chutian's foster mother?

"Father, Mother." Yun Nianfeng also stepped forward with a smile on the corner of his lips.

What he just said had caused everyone to be in disbelief. It was fine that Yun Chutian was a foster daughter, but that young man was Yun Luofeng and Yun Xiao's biological son? What the heck had they done earlier? They actually wanted to attack the biological son of a true god?

Were they trying to court death?

"Mother, I have something to ask you. When did you accept a disciple?" Yun Chutian asked as she pouted her tender lips.

Yun Luofeng was momentarily stunned before she answered, "Don't tell me you've forgotten that I have a disciple? I even intended to have Xiao Mo and Xiao Bai's wedding together when you and Nianfeng got married. You actually forgot about Xiao Bai?"

"Mother, I'm not referring to Xiao Bai." Yun Chutian pointed towards Ouyang Yue. "That woman said that she's your disciple and that you had written this book. The truth is that this was something she stole from me in the past."

Ouyang Yue's complexion had already turned deathly while and she very much wished she could faint. Even so, her mind was extremely clear and she could not faint even if she wanted to.

Yun Luofeng took the book from Yun Chutian and looked through it. "The majority of the answers in this book are correct, but there are a few mistakes."

Chapter 2260:- Yun Chutian's Return (24)

"I was only five that year with no one to teach me. I relied entirely on my hard work to learn medical skills." Yun Chutian stuck out her tongue and said, "However, I already understand the correct answer for those few questions. Didn't I ask you about them back then?"

At that, Yun Luofeng nodded her head in satisfaction. "Let's keep this book as a memento."

The conversation between them had clearly revealed the real owner of that book.

Ouyang Xun's expression was ashen as he turned his head and glared at Ouyang Yue in fury. "What's going on? You said that your master gave you this book and she is Yun Luofeng? You had better provide an explanation right now."

Plop!

Ouyang Yue knelt on the ground in fright as she trembled. "Father, your daughter knows her mistakes. Please forgive me."

"Forgive you? How am I to forgive you?" Ouyang Xun shut his eyes in pain. If it weren't for Ouyang Yue, he would not have regarded Yun Chutian as a monster and tried to have her burned at the stake.

All the more, he would not have missed the chance to butter up with two true gods.

That's right, the last sentence was Ouyang Xun's real intentions.

Being an Emperor required him to be a heartless person so how could he honestly care about his daughter? What he really cared about was merely himself.

"Chutian," Ouyang Xun's line of sight turned to Yun Chutian once again while the tone of his voice had also softened. "Your father was wrong back then and since you've returned, I will treat you well."

Yun Chutian revealed a disdainful smile. "I still remember how you wanted to burn me at the stake back in those days. If Mother hadn't saved me, I would've been dead. Moreover, there have always been rumors in Heavenly Empror City saying that Ouyang Yue is a goddess while I'm a witch that brought about misfortune. I believe those rumors were all the efforts of your people, right?"

Ouyang Xun's complexion became increasingly pale. He tightly clenched his fist while he felt endless regret.

"Goddess? Witch?" Yun Luofeng faintly smiled. "A rumor stops when it comes to a wise person but it seems like everyone in Heavenly Emperor City is foolish. Since that's the case, there's no need for it to continue to exist! However, there is one thing correct and there's indeed a goddess in Heavenly Emperor City. Only, that person is Chutian!"

She slowly walked toward Ouyang Xun. "If you had treated Yun Chutian well in those five years, Heavenly Empror City would also have flourished along with her. However, you were the ones who gave up this opportunity."

Ouyang Xun looked up and as he looked at Yun Luofeng's calm expression, his eyes were flooded with regret.

"Do you know why I took Chutian away?" Yun Luofeng's lips curled. "She was my daughter in her previous life and she had died to protect me. I waited five years for her before I found her in Heavenly Emperor City but I did not expect... that you would have treated my daughter like that."

Ouyang Xun shut his eyes. He had regretted it. If he had known that Yun Chutian and Yun Luofeng had such a relationship, he would have never committed such a mistake

Unfortunately, there were no ifs in this world...

"Nianfeng," Yun Luofeng turned to Yun Nianfeng and said. "Chutian will be your wife in the future and you shall be responsible to protect her. Don't let off a single person that harmed her back in those days. Even if you have to burn the entire Heavenly Emperor City, you have to let those foolish people pay the price!"

She found it hard to believe that if she had been slightly late, then she would have been separated from Yun Chutian once again. How could she possibly forgive those that hurt her in the past? Even if they merely gathered to watch the show, she would never let a single one of them off!

For example, back then when she merely wanted to prevent those people from humiliating her mother, she had dyed the entire city in blood. Since rumors are unstoppable using gentle means, she did not mind using ruthless methods!
