Chapter 846: Chapter 339: Overflowing Jealousy
What did Ye Beiming go to the fishing village for?
Although Elder Helian was very curious, Ye Beiming was not part of the Mainland Magic Elite Camp, and considering his current strength, even Elder Helian had to steer clear.
The group parted ways at the foot of Taiyuan Mountain.
After arriving at the fishing village, Ye Beiming inquired around and found himself in front of a house belonging to a family with the surna Qiu.
A round-faced fisherwoman ca out, learning that a distinguished guest from Great Zhou was looking for her.
"May I ask, Sir, what business do you have with Qiu Ye?"
Qiu Ye looked at the handso man before her, and upon seeing his appearance, her mouth slightly agape, she was filled with disbelief.
The young man before her looked exactly like the man in the portrait hanging in their hall.
The portrait was left by Qiu Ye’s great-grandmother, Qiu Niang, as the only heirloom for her descendants.
After Ye Beiming left back then, he had entrusted a guard from the castle to deliver so riches to Qiu Niang in the fishing village, as gratitude for saving his life.
Passing by the fishing village today, Ye Beiming wanted to visit the descendants of Qiu Niang.
Qiu Ye led Ye Beiming and the others into the spacious house. Beside the incense table, a portrait hung.
Although it had been preserved well for over five hundred years, it had begun to yellow slightly.
The man in the portrait, dressed in black like the night, appeared extrely cold.
When the guard from Taiyuan Castle delivered the silver taels to Qiu Niang, he fell in love with her at first sight, and the two later beca husband and wife.
With the money given by Ye Beiming, Qiu Niang’s family had a much better life in the fishing village.
Qiu Niang’s lineage grew and branched out, with many grandchildren and descendants now living elsewhere, only Qiu Ye’s branch remained, living a simple fishing life from sunrise to sunset.
"Only missing for a day and you’ve already caused romantic debts. Ye Hu, your charm really is sothing," Yun Sheng said, scrutinizing the portrait on the incense table.
Though the portrait was not very well done, it was evident that the painter had put great effort into it.
The fisherwoman nad Qiu Niang from the village must have had great admiration for Ye Beiming.
"This question should be asked to you instead, what’s that on your neck?" Ye Beiming, having confird that the descendants of Qiu Niang were safe and sound, felt a burden lifted.
Upon his ntion, Yun Sheng rembered the mark left on her neck by Dugu Xiu’s wolf kiss earlier.
The two glared at each other like roosters ready to fight, the atmosphere was tense.
As they exited the fishing village, Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming were still sulking at each other.
As they passed the village entrance, two young teenagers ran out ahead.
"Li Taiyuan, you’re sneaking out of the fishing village again, if your father finds out, he’ll break your legs," a girl around thirteen or fourteen years old, with her hands on her hips, stopped a boy carrying luggage.
Upon seeing the girl’s appearance, Yun Sheng’s eyes widened.
The girl looked exactly like Taiyuan Empress Fei Lengyue from over five hundred years ago.
Her delicate, oval face was adorned with sparkling eyes, and though her clothes were coarse, they couldn’t hide her natural beauty.
"Leng Yueyue, why do you care so much about what I do? Even my mother isn’t as nagging as you. I just want to leave the fishing village, go explore, and make sothing of myself. I’ll co back," said the boy, his face full of hope.
His features and even his build bore a seventy to eighty percent resemblance to the forr Taiyuan City Lord.
A boy of fifteen or sixteen is full of the urge to venture into the world.
"People outside are bad, you’re so gullible, you wouldn’t even know if you got tricked. Go back. If you don’t, I won’t talk to you anymore," Leng Yueyue said furiously, stamping her foot before running off.
This was the third ti the boy tried sneaking out, only to be caught by her.
Despite her apparent dissatisfaction, the boy panicked the mont he saw Leng Yueyue angry.
With a flushed face, he chased after Leng Yueyue’s retreating figure.
Those two...
Yun Sheng suddenly smiled, five centuries seed to flow back in ti.
Taiyuan City Lord, Empress Fei, may you rekindle your past bond in this lifeti.
As the young couple ran off in the distance, Yun Sheng’s hand was suddenly held by a larger hand.
Ye Beiming said nothing, only quietly held Yun Sheng’s hand.
His warmth passed through his palm.
Yun Sheng’s ears turned as red as the evening glow, yet she didn’t shake off Ye Beiming’s hand as she usually would.
Not far away, Dugu Xiu, in Hou Qin’s carriage, saw this scene through the window.
An eagle-like gaze flashed with a hint of malice.
As the carriage moved forward, Dugu Xiu let the curtain fall, his heart heavy with frustration.
Although both he and Ye Beiming had obtained a Qilin arm this ti, still... Ye Beiming was the victor.
"Beiming King, our contest has only just begun,"
From his storage belt, he took out an item.
In Dugu Xiu’s hand lay a bracelet.
It was an ancient, rustic bracelet, and the soul stone on it had already shattered when Chen Lianlian was consud by magic.
To most, it would seem like junk to be discarded.
Yet, a smile appeared on Dugu Xiu’s face.
"Magic God Bracelet, I had not expected heaven itself to aid my Hou Qin."
Yun Sheng was unaware that the Magic God Bracelet she had been diligently seeking wasn’t at the City Lord’s Hall of Taiyuan Castle but had fallen into Dugu Xiu’s hands.
Though the Magic God Bracelet was of little use to Dugu Xiu, who was born a Martial Artist, he knew that this bracelet was of irresistible allure to all mages on the continent.
Yun Sheng was no exception.
As the carriage stopped, Dugu Xiu put away the Magic God Bracelet and opened the curtain as Lady Chi Bi entered.
"Chi Bi, I’ve told you, I don’t require attendance,"
Dugu Xiu furrowed his brows, showcasing a cold deanor that forbade strangers entry.
Lady Chi Bi felt bitter. This ti, after returning from Taiyuan Castle, Dugu Xiu was even colder to her.
She didn’t know what she had done wrong, or if sothing had happened to him during his disappearance.
"Crown Prince, I am here to inform you that in your absence, a ssage ca from the Crown Prince Mansion, saying they have found the whereabouts of Princess Donghuang,"
After Donghuang Lingling escaped from the Eastern Capital, Dugu Xiu had blocked the news of the princess’s elopent on one hand, while urgently sending people to find Donghuang Lingling on the other.
Dugu Xiu wasn’t soone who would just let being stood up at a betrothal ceremony slide.
"However," Lady Chi Bi paused, speaking cautiously, "Princess Donghuang is not alone; during the past few months, a male mage nad Gu Feng has been living with her."
"Oh, that kid dares to die for her, no ti to waste, go capture Donghuang Lingling and her lover," Dugu Xiu said, with a malevolent grin appearing on his face.
