Chapter 706— Who Seduced You?
"He Xi, don't worry," Nangong Yu reassured her, gently brushing her nose. "I will protect you and myself. I'm eagerly waiting to bring my princess home. As for the incident in Liuli Palace, no one suspects me. The Feng Family has been monitoring me closely, and they know my capabilities. They won't doubt me at all."
He Xi felt relieved, grateful that Nangong Yu had taken care of the Liu Li Sect matter, whether it was for her or not. It made her feel cared for and protected.
Nangong Yu looked around the room and asked, "He Xi, I was just about to ask why you suddenly started living in Nalan Mansion. And why were you almost forced into marriage with those insignificant people?"
His voice turned cold as he continued, "If it wasn't for Qing Luan alerting me, I wouldn't have known. How dare people like Shangguan Qi even think about marrying my princess? The Shangguan Family is asking for trouble!"
He Xi chuckled and confidently replied, "If I don't want to marry, do you think anyone can force me? Even if you hadn't shown up, I would have found a way to handle these people."
Nangong Yu's eyes filled with a mix of admiration and frustration. He Xi blushed and buried her face in his chest, speaking in a coquettish voice, "But Nangong Yu, now that you're here, I'm incredibly happy."
She admitted that she didn't have to face everything alone. Nangong Yu had rushed to her side, shielding her from trouble, publicly declaring his love for her, and promising to be devoted to her. It filled her heart with joy and sweetness.
Nangong Yu was taken aback by her words. He gently held He Xi's face and removed the human skin mask, revealing her stunning appearance. The dim lighting in the room couldn't diminish her beauty. Her phoenix eyes, high nose, rosy lips, and flawless skin were captivating.
Leaning in, Nangong Yu playfully bit the tip of her nose and confessed, "Little girl, don't tempt me like this. You know I have no self-control when it comes to you."
He Xi pushed him away, feigning annoyance, "Who seduced you?"
Nangong Yu pulled her back into his embrace, about to say something when Azhu's voice came from outside the door. "Miss, someone is approaching. Should I drive them away?"
He Xi's expression changed, and she replied firmly, "No need."
In a flash, she jumped out of Nangong Yu's arms, leaving him feeling empty. He couldn't hide his displeasure and complained, "What's so great about this Nalan Mansion? He Xi, if anyone bothers you, I'll tear down the entire mansion and make everyone in it your plaything. Why bother playing mind games with these people? You're just inviting trouble for yourself!"
The point was that they had finally reunited after a long time apart, and Nangong Yu wanted to be intimate with He Xi, but their moment was interrupted by others.
Chapter 707— Couldn’t Figure It Out
He Xi gave a soothing smile and shared her doubts about An Lingyue and his brother with Nangong Yu.
"Little Golden Dragon found out that there is a peculiar array in Nalan Zhengze’s room. I also threw a Purple Abyss Vine’s seed into the array today, but this array is really peculiar. As the Purple Abyss Vine’s seed tries to sprout, Nalan Zhengze will feel it. I’m also a little helpless now."
"Strange array?" Nangong Yu raised his eyebrow, "I have some research in array, why don’t I go and see it with you, He Xi?"
He Xi doubted that Nangong Yu even knew about array, then she remembered that he even broke Liu Li Sect’s Mountain Guard Array Nine Turn Earth Mysterious Array. Nalan Zhengze’s insignificant array might really be a piece of cake for him.
So she nodded happily, "When Nalan Feixue is marrying tomorrow, everyone in this mansion must be at the banquet at night. The defense in the mansion will be much more relaxed. At that time, we will go to Nalan Zhengze’s study room to explore."
When He Xi and Nangong Yu were having an intimate moment, the other people in Nalan Mansion had gloomy faces; their hearts were full of resentment and unwillingness.
In the study room, as soon as Nalan Zhengze entered the door, he angrily picked up the teacup on the table and slammed it on the ground.
His facial muscles twisted for a while. His eyes seemed to exude the flames that could devour people. He murmured, "Bitch! Bitch! She is really a daughter of a bitch. What an ungrateful daughter! I knew I should have strangled her to dead when she was born!"
Nalan Ziyun, who followed into the room, also had an extremely unsightly face. He clenched his fists and his voice became muffled because of extreme resentment, "Father, you said that King of Hell wants to marry He Xi, is it because He Xi that bitch gave An Lingyue’s relic to King of Hell?"
Nalan Zhengze was taken aback, then he frowned, "Didn’t you say that she has given the relics to Xi Yue? What’s more, although An Lingyue’s relics are precious, King of Hell may not even bat an eye on them."
Nalan Ziyun’s eyes dimmed and said coldly, "That may not be true, father. Have you seen An Lingyue’s relics? In case there are great cultivation secret book or pill prescriptions, it can help King of Hell to break through the Divine stage. Father, if you are King of Hell, wouldn’t you be tempted?"
"As for Xi Yue, he is just a low rank martial artist of the Foundation Establishment stage. Maybe He Xi abandons him after she got the favor of King of Hell!"
Nalan Zhengze thought and felt that his son’s words made sense.
Otherwise, he really couldn’t figure out why the great genius King of Hell, who was admired by countless women, would choose to marry He Xi, a woman who had no talent and no appearance.
Nalan Ziyun slammed the table angrily and said, "Now that this woman has looked for King of Hell as a backer, we can’t do anything to her! Is it that we can only let An Lingyue’s relic be possessed by this bitch?"
"Impossible!!" Nalan Zhengze yelled coldly. His eyes slowly glanced to a corner of the study room, and a sullen smile appeared on his mouth. "He Xi can’t escape from my palm. So what if she marries King of Hell? By the time, she will still kneel down in front of me and beg me. Hehe… the things that belong to our Nalan Family will definitely fall into my hands!"
Nalan Ziyun was startled. A hint of suspicion appeared on his face.
Even if He Xi is given a chronic poison, with the method of King of Hell, he may find a way to detoxify it. This may not necessarily be a means to threaten that damn little girl.
Chapter 708— Nalan Yurong's Evil Plan
Nalan Feixue, who had been in a coma, slowly regained consciousness. As she opened her eyes, she found her sister, Nalan Yurong, and their mother, Mrs. Nalan, sitting by her side. Nalan Yurong's face was pale, but her eyes burned with intense hatred.
Realizing the situation, Nalan Feixue panicked and pleaded for help, expressing her refusal to marry Zhu Zhongba, the fat pig. Mrs. Nalan couldn't contain her sorrow, lamenting the cruelty of their father in arranging such a marriage for their own daughter.
Interrupting their cries, Nalan Yurong spoke coldly, questioning the usefulness of their tears. She asked if they were willing to be humiliated and controlled by He Xi, whom she referred to as a "bitch." Nalan Feixue vehemently expressed her refusal to marry Zhu Zhongba, seeking her sister's help.
With a satisfied smile, Nalan Yurong assured her sister that she had a plan. She promised that if Nalan Feixue followed her instructions, not only would she be saved from marrying Zhu Zhongba, but she could also become the wife of the crown prince.
Overjoyed, Nalan Feixue eagerly agreed to do whatever it took to avoid the unwanted marriage. Nalan Yurong whispered her plan into her sister's ear, and Nalan Feixue's initial shock and panic turned into excitement and determination.
Quickly changing her clothes, Nalan Feixue rushed out of the room, leaving Nalan Yurong behind with a ruthless expression. She vowed to make He Xi, whom she referred to as Nalan Hexi, suffer and questioned whether King of Hell would still love and marry her after knowing she had been violated.
Chapter 709— Are You Crazy?
On a quiet, dark night, several figures stealthily entered Xin Yue House where He Xi resided. The guards and servants who usually stood watch were nowhere to be found. They made their way to He Xi's bedroom and forcefully entered.
Startled, Mai Xiang, one of He Xi's maids, quickly got up from the bed and lit a candle in the room. She demanded to know their intentions, questioning why they were breaking into Miss He Xi's room.
Mockingly, Nalan Feixue, accompanied by guards and maids, walked in with an air of superiority. She dismissed He Xi's status as an illegitimate child and belittled her for thinking she was a member of the Nalan Family after residing in Nalan Mansion for a few days.
Unfazed, He Xi calmly sat up in bed, still dressed and unperturbed by the intrusion. Qing Luan, another maid, poured her a cup of tea. He Xi sipped her tea and calmly asked why her second sister had brought a group of people into her room.
Nalan Feixue signaled to her maids, who presented a set of phoenix crown and xiapei, placing them in front of He Xi. Nalan Feixue smugly explained that these were specially prepared by the Zhu Family for He Xi's upcoming marriage. She suggested trying them on and offered to have any necessary adjustments made.
Raising an eyebrow, He Xi sneered, questioning Nalan Feixue's sanity. She reminded her sister that the Zhu Family's young master was supposed to marry Nalan Feixue, not her. The wedding clothes were meant for Nalan Feixue, not He Xi.
Frustrated, Nalan Feixue shouted, blaming He Xi for causing her to marry Zhu Zhongba instead of the crown prince. However, the noise didn't alarm anyone in the Nalan Mansion. The guards who should have been patrolling were mysteriously absent.
Taking a deep breath, Nalan Feixue composed herself and advised He Xi to obediently wear the wedding gown. She condescendingly reminded He Xi of her place, insinuating that she should not reach for things beyond her status.
Nalan Feixue continued her tirade, belittling He Xi's chances of gaining the favor of the King of Hell, whom she claimed was using He Xi to provoke their elder sister. She painted a bleak future for He Xi, predicting that she would be discarded once their elder sister flattered the King of Hell.
With a sinister smile, Nalan Feixue pointed at the wedding gown, suggesting that He Xi should cherish the opportunity to marry into the Zhu Family as it was a more suitable match for her appearance and talent.
Chapter 710— Nalan Ziyun who Was Tied Up
"In the future, He Xi will become the madam of the Zhu Family. You must thank Nalan Yurong for this opportunity today!" Nalan Feixue declared, her anger towards He Xi evident.
He Xi remained composed, taking a sip of tea without showing any signs of panic. With a half-smile, she calmly responded, "Even without the King of Hell, there is still the crown prince! Why should Nalan Yurong be so concerned? He Xi will never fight for your chance to marry into the Zhu Family."
Enraged by He Xi's mention of the crown prince, Nalan Feixue lunged at her, calling her a shameless bitch and threatening her to wear the wedding dress and go through with the marriage. But He Xi's grip on the teacup shook, and a purple vine emerged from her hand.
Facing Nalan Feixue's aggression, He Xi questioned her intentions and warned, "Oh, you're welcome? Why are you being polite to me?" The sight of the purple vine triggered fear in Nalan Feixue, causing her to retreat.
Gently stroking the leaves of the Purple Abyss Vine, He Xi sneered and asked if Nalan Feixue thought she could be bullied without consequences. The coldness in her eyes sent a shiver down Nalan Feixue's spine.
In response, Nalan Feixue threatened He Xi, claiming that she could deal with her. She then ordered for a tied-up man to be brought forward. It was revealed to be Nalan Ziyun, who appeared haggard and wounded.
He Xiang and Chui Lu, awakened by the commotion, cried out in concern for Nalan Ziyun. Nalan Feixue gloated, presenting Nalan Ziyun as a hostage and proposing a choice to He Xi. She threatened to kill Nalan Ziyun if He Xi didn't comply with her demands.
He Xiang and Chui Lu pleaded with He Xi to save Nalan Ziyun, highlighting his kindness towards her. He Xi locked eyes with Nalan Ziyun, who implored her for help.
Raising an eyebrow, He Xi questioned Nalan Feixue's logic, doubting that she would kill Nalan Ziyun, the beloved son of Nalan Zhengze. Nalan Feixue's expression froze, realizing the implications of her actions.
