Chapter 358 “Revenge For You (4)”
“Alright, we will do as you wish.”
According to the rumors out there Bai Zhi is supposed to be a brainless and cruel girl, but look at her now! Seriously, where did those rumors even come from?
“Brother Lu, thank you for believing in me.” Getting red and blushy, Bai Zhi never felt so happy before: “I originally thought you would also believe I am one of those woman after hearing all those rumors. I don’t want to keep it from you. The truth is I nearly became Lord Cang’s wife. It wasn’t of my own volition back then, rather it was the Queen’s will so I couldn’t say no.”
As bitter as he was over the fact that his woman nearly became another’s, Lu Zifeng nevertheless showed his grace by comforting the girl on the shoulder with a pat: “I understand, you don’t need to explain yourself. A gentle and kind woman like you can never possibly favor a man like Di Cang. Such a vicious and cruel man like that could never bring you love. Besides, he would’ve eventually caused you immeasurable pain considering his personality.”
For a person like that, Bai Yan would use such dirty rumors to malign my Zhi. Really, such a woman is too evil. Good thing I came in time, otherwise who knows what other men would come along and believe those lies. If that occurs, wouldn’t it hurt my Zhi a second time?
Lu Zifeng’s ideology was that if he loves a woman then he must give her all the trust, even if this means disbelieving everyone else. Furthermore, he not only likes Bai Zhi because of her baldness, rather it’s her innocence and straightforwardness that truly draws him in.
Despite the grand thoughts running through the man’s head, Bai Zhi on the other hand wasn’t so kind. Just out of reach from those eyes, the girl revealed a sinister smile that gave no doubt about her true character….
Bai Yan, so what if you got the Demon Beast Sect behind your back? That power can never match up to the Holy Land!
This time I will make you lose everything and more!
……
The matter of the Holy Land recruiting outsiders from within the Liu Huo Kingdom have already spread far and wide to the point where talented individuals from other nations are also coming in by droves. As such, the test site had become overcrowded with people on the predetermined date.
Bai Yan didn’t have much interest in other people’s competitions here today, many are only here to test their luck and nothing more anyways. Instead, her sole focus was entirely spent on tickling the baby white cat in her bosoms and the two followers that’s completely captivated by the show.
“Is this standard of a competition really all that interesting?” Her voice was cool and uninterested.
“I’m only interested in the sort of people coming to participate. After all, I still wouldn’t want some bad seeds to mix into the Holy Land.” Due to Chu Yi Yi deliberately lowering her voice when replying, none in the audience other than the closest people next to her could hear this.
Shrugging at that answer, Bai Yan had nothing more to add. It’s reasonable and a good thing so there’s no reason to object.
“Sister-in-law, quickly look! Little Xiao Xiao is about to come out next!” It was then Di Xiao Wan exclaimed, sending the girls attention over to the stage.
Under the gaze of this enchanting woman, Bai Yan watches on as her brother slowly ascends up to the arena. Without deviation, the boy’s opponent was none other than Nangong Yi.
Despite it only being a few days since that event in the palace, the man appeared very different here today. Sunken eyes with an aura of death hovering overhead, to say this prince was still the same proud individual from back then was impossible.
“So that’s why,” mumbling as if she’s figured something out, “no wonder Nangong Yi can continue to use his powers after Di Cang abolished his cultivation. It’s because he used a Rebirth Dan Pill.”
“Mother, what’s a Rebirth Dan Pill?” Blinking his curious eyes, Bai Xiaochen looks up to his mother and asked.
Smiling at the boy’s wish to learn, Bai Yan happily obliged the request: “This sort of Dan pill is considered a forbidden item. The effects can indeed restore the individual’s powers and even regrow ones limbs, but that also means the side effects are extremely intense.”
