It was Chu Lian’er. Today, she was wearing the Purple Yarn Precious Garment she bought at the auction that day. The garment was pretty. If the wearer could be less mean with a less shrill voice, the garment might display its elegance and grace.

“What? You’ve changed your date so soon?” While saying, Chu Lian’er sized Xuanyuan Mo up at the same time.

What a good-looking man! His long black hair was billowing in the air, which was simply tied up with a gold ribbon. His fierce straight eyebrows were slightly knitted, which indicated his domineering and cold demeanor. His amber eyes were as profound as the sea, which were so enchanting. His thin red lips were slightly curled with infinite temptation.

He was so good-looking, who was even more handsome than the pretty male elf at the auction. This woman was surrounded by too many handsome men. She was so enviable!

“You are really good-looking indeed!” Fascinated by the handsome face of Xuanyuan Mo, Chu Lian’er couldn’t help reaching out her hand.

Instantly, two rushes of potent coercion were released at the same time. One of them came from Duanmu Xi and the other from Xuanyuan Mo. The atmosphere in the hall became very tense due to the potent coercion.

The sudden abnormalcy finally attracted the attention of the other people in the hall. They all looked at Duanmu Xi and some of them even walked in this direction.

Duanmu Xi gazed at the hand reached out by Chu Lian’er coldly, “You don’t want your left hand either?”

Hearing that, Chu Lian’er stopped her left hand and didn’t dare to move at all. “Damn it! Is the woman reminding me that my right hand was ruined by her?” Chu Lian’er thought.

“You want to flirt with a handsome man again? The leopard just cannot change its spots!” When the atmosphere was tense, a coquettish voice came.

Duanmu Xi looked at the woman in pink walking to them and slightly narrowed her purple eyes. The woman was Hua Xian’er. It seemed that where there was Chu Lian’er, Hua Xian’er just came along.

“Hua Xian’er, why are you everywhere? It’s none of your business.” Whenever she met Hua Xian’er, Chu Lian’er was like the ignited firecracker.

Hearing their conversation, Duanmu Xi was lost for words. These two people were so weird.

“I’m showing concern for this…” Hua Xian’er suddenly bit her tongue.

What a good-looking man! Another man no worse than him. What was good about the woman? Why did all the handsome men like her?

Seeing Hua Xian’er stared at the handsome man, Chu Lian’er snorted, “Humph. How can you have the cheek to accuse me? I think you are the lascivious one.”

Hearing that, Hua Xian’er came to her senses and refuted, “Don’t compare me with rubbish. How dare a disabled person like you come here to sign up for the martial arts tournament? You are so reckless!”

“You… Who is disabled…” Called as rubbish, Chu Lian’er stamped her feet in fury.

Humph. These people all thought that her right hand was ruined. Actually, her right hand had long been cured. Although a lot of water spiritual masters brought by her brother all failed to cure her, he still got the Auspicious Cloud Pill for her by all means. Now, not only was her right hand cured but also she was a Spiritual Emperor now. She would make them suffer sooner or later.

“I’m talking about you. Is there anyone else who is disabled but you?”

Duanmu Xi rolled her eyes inwardly. Why on earth did she waste her time watching them quarreling here?

“Snow, let’s go.”

“Okay.” Xuanyuan Mo glimpsed the two crazy women quarreling there and answered casually.

After they finished signing up, they met another acquaintance at the door of the hall.

Feng Xifan looked at Duanmu Xi nearby and fell into a trance. She was still so beautiful.

Yue Ruye looked in the direction where Feng Xifan was staring and only saw a girl in white standing on the high stair. As a breeze blew by, the white gauze at the hemline billowed and the white ribbon danced around with hair. The girl just looked like an otherworldly fairy maiden.

She was gorgeous indeed. Maybe she was even more beautiful than the fairy maiden!

Feeling that Feng Xifan became increasingly fascinated, Yue Ruye had to tug at his sleeve and remind him of his impoliteness.

Feng Xifan came to his senses and regretted his obsession. It seemed that as long as he met her, his self-control ability would just be gone.

After regretting, Feng Xifan went forward and greeted, “Miss, here we meet again.”

“Young Master Feng.” Duanmu Xi looked at Feng Xifan before her and nodded indifferently. She didn’t expect that Feng Xifan should be a student of Shengjin Academy too.

“This is my fellow disciple, Yue Ruye. This is…” Feng Xifan hedged. He realized that he hadn’t known her name yet.

Seeing the embarrassed look of Feng Xifan, Duanmu Xi decided to help him out, “Duanmu Xi.”

Duanmu Xi’s lips curved into a sinister smile. Feng Xifan, the young master of the Feng Family and Yue Ruye, the young master of the Yue Family would both be her vigorous opponents at the martial arts tournament.

Hearing Duanmu Xi told Feng Xifan about her name, Xuanyuan Mo started to give off coldness.

“Oh, this is Miss Duanmu.” The name of Duanmu Xi sounded so familiar. He seemed to have heard it somewhere before.

Duanmu? It seemed to be the imperial family name of the Zhuque Empire. Yue Ruye felt confused but he didn’t show it on his face. He took a step forward and said with clasped hands, “Greetings, Miss Duanmu.”

” Young Master Yue, nice to meet you.” Duanmu Xi nodded again.

The sudden colder temperature around finally made them notice the man standing next to Duanmu Xi.

“Who is this?” Feng Xifan asked with embarrassment. It was so rude of him not to have noticed the man before.

“I’m Xi’s fiance, Xuanyuan Mo.” Before Duanmu Xi said anything, Xuanyuan Mo put his arms around Duanmu Xi’s shoulders as if proclaiming sovereignty and then introduced himself.

Duanmu Xi slightly frowned and felt surprised about his self-introduction but she didn’t say anything and just let him hold her into his arms.

Feng Xifan was slightly shocked. Seeing Xuanyuan Mo acted so but Duanmu Xi neither refuted nor objected, he felt depressed beyond words. She had a fiance now, and the man was so outstanding. Strong jealousy welled up in his heart. Suddenly, he felt like running far away so much but he felt his legs were too heavy to move a bit.

Yue Ruye standing next to Feng Xifan didn’t care about the former part of the self-introduction but the latter part. Xuanyuan was the imperial family name of the Baihu Empire and the emperor of the Baihu Emperor was the master of the Yue Family. Now, the man before him might be his master so he had to treat the man cautiously.

Yue Ruye stepped forward and saluted Xuanyuan Mo, “Greetings, Mr. Xuanyuan.”

Xuanyuan Mo looked at Yue Ruye and his eyes glistened. With a flick of his sleeve, he said, “Enough with the formalities.”

Yue Ruye was slightly shocked and then answered, “Yes.”

“Xi, let’s go.” Despite saying so, Xuanyuan Mo had headed towards Wisteria Yard holding Duanmu Xi without leaving any maneuver for her to refuse.

“You had better stay away from Feng Xifan,” Xuanyuan Mo walked for a distance and then suddenly said.

Seeing Xuanyuan Mo’s gloomy face, Duanmu Xi was greatly amused inwardly. Snow was so cute.



Here arrived the day of the martial arts tournament.

Standing at the highest place of the contest field, Nalan Xi looked at the crowd and shouted with his mysterious Qi, “Today shall witness the martial arts tournament held by the Shengjin Academy. All the participants are expected to compete and exchange learning progress so you shall restrain yourselves in the contest. You had better not hurt others’ lives.”

After saying that, Nalan Xi nodded at a middle-aged man aside who looked majestic.

The middle-aged man met his gaze and then went forward, saying, “The martial arts tournament will begin. Due to a large number of participants, we adopt a knockout system. The last ten winners can join the final. All the participants in the final can attend the trial in the Spiritual Beast Forest.”

His words caused an uproar among the crowd. The Spiritual Beast Forest was situated at the northeast border. There were countless spiritual beasts in the forest. It was home to the spiritual beasts. Because no one dared to go there, there were various kinds of precious herbs undiscovered in the Spiritual Beast Forest. Moreover, it was a good place for practice and promotion. Yet, benefits entailed risk as well. It was very dangerous in the Spiritual Beast Forest. One might die without a corpse left if he acted carelessly.

Hearing the hubbub, the middle-aged man frowned, “Quiet. Everyone be quiet. Now, all the participants go to the designated place to draw lots.”

Everyone swarmed to the lot drawing place. It was quite simple so the lot drawing didn’t take much time. Shortly, only a few lots were left in the lot barrel.

It was then that Duanmu Xi went forward leisurely and drew one lot. It was No. 26.

“No. 26. What a pity! We won’t get to compete in the first round.”

Duanmu Xi glimpsed Chu Lian’er who stuck out her neck to peep at her, “You should win the first round at least.”

After saying that, she just went around Chu Lian’er and headed to the contest field.

Chu Lian’er snorted heavily. Damn it. How dared this woman belittle her! She wouldn’t let go of Duanmu Xi!

The tournament started soon. Duanmu Xi stood outside the field and watched the contest.

Shengjin Academy was worthy of its fame. The participants were generally capable. Shortly, Duanmu Xi saw an acquaintance.

Yue Ruye’s opponent was not weak, who was a Mysterious Sovereign. The result came out quickly. Yue Ruye won with ease. He deserved to be a member of the Yue Family, one of the four big families. It seemed that not all the members of the four big families were as weak as Xue Jinshuo.

“No. 26. Please come onto the stage.”

Hearing the call, Duanmu Xi flew onto the contest field. A young man also got on the stage.

Upon seeing Duanmu Xi’s face, the young man was stunned but very quickly, he came to his senses and bowed to Duanmu Xi with clasped hands, “I’m Yang Ming. It’s my honor to compete with you.”

“Duanmu Xi.” Duanmu Xi saw through the young man’s cultivation level and nodded inwardly. He was a peak Mysterious Sovereign at such a young age, which was quite impressive. Without her masters’ guidance, she would be no match for him!

“The contest begins.”

The contest began but Duanmu Xi only stood in situ quietly. On the contrary, Yang Ming drew out his sword and rushed to Duanmu Xi. She was beautiful indeed but he didn’t intend to let her win.

When the sword was about to thrust at Duanmu Xi, she suddenly flashed and disappeared.
