Ex-Wife is a Big Villainess

Jiang Wan looked at Jiang Shouzhong and explained with a smile:

"Recently, this portrait has been spreading everywhere among the people and in the Jianghu. It's almost ubiquitous, more prevalent than the wanted posters on city walls, and almost every household worships it.

They're talking about the Emperor Star, Heavenly Destiny Shouzhong, number one under the heavens. You probably don't know, but many women hold your portrait while sleeping at night, keeping themselves pure for you."

"This must be Yeying's doing."

Jiang Shouzhong smiled helplessly.

Thinking about Yeying tirelessly building his reputation while he hid here, enjoying a brief tender moment, Jiang Shouzhong couldn't help but feel a wave of guilt.

Jiang Wan lightly patted Jiang Shouzhong's shoulder and sighed:

"Jiang, some people are destined to be just passersby, there's no need to forcibly retain them. Coming and going quickly, it's futile to force.

You must realize, there are many people around you who cannot be let down waiting for you. People should always look forward, don't be trapped in this pit of love that you can't escape."

Listening to Jiang Wan's words, Jiang Shouzhong remained silent.

But Jiang Wan was right; he owed so many romantic debts and couldn't let himself sink just because of Li Guanshi.

Besides, Li Guanshi has merely ascended, not forever separated by life and death.

At worst, he could strive to cultivate, ascend to the Heavenly Realm early, and reunite with her.

If I'm not allowed to intervene, then I'll chase them to the sky to intervene.

Thinking this, Jiang Shouzhong felt much better and stood up to ask, "Are Qingchen and the others still in the Ten Thousand Mountains?"

Jiang Wan nodded gently and said:

"Currently, the Ten Thousand Mountains are in chaos. The Thousand Beasts Forest has aligned with a Demon Emperor who appeared out of nowhere, and many demons have advanced their realms, enhancing their overall strength.

Additionally, the Demon Venerable has emerged in the Sky Demon Sect. The two forces are fiercely battling each other. Qingchen, to help her sisters, naturally stayed there.

However, as I see it, you better not go to the Ten Thousand Mountains right now. With the Demon Venerable and Qingchen along with their masters stationed there, it's only a matter of time before they deal with the Thousand Beasts Forest and the Demon Emperor, unless an Immortal intervenes.

Right now, what you should really do is rescue your other soulmate, that girl named Yelü Miaomiao."

Miaomiao?

Jiang Shouzhong looked surprised: "Isn't she currently leading the Snow Domain Divine Soldiers in Nanjin Country? How could she be in danger?"

Jiang Wan rolled her eyes and laughed:

"You truly believe that the Snow Domain Divine Soldiers, who have dominated for millennia, would obediently follow a little girl's orders? It's merely mutual needs and interests exchanged.

Currently, the leader of the Snow Domain Divine Soldiers was once the Yang Spirit Envoy under the Ghost King. This guy isn't new to backstabbing allies.

According to my investigation, he might be colluding with forces from above. After all, for those living dead, life is painful enough. If they seek to escape this predicament, recover their human form, and possibly ascend to become Immortal, it's not easy.

He now willingly cooperates with Yanrong, surely with ulterior motives. Believing or not is entirely up to you.

But you'd better hurry. If you're late, your innocent and lovely soulmate could very well be in jeopardy."

Jiang Shouzhong looked grim.

He believed Jiang Wan wasn't just trying to frighten him.

Moreover, he had previously encountered the Yin Spirit Envoy under the Ghost King, who, before dying, had given him a ring and particularly mentioned that the Yang Spirit Envoy had betrayed the Ghost King.

Thus, the Snow Domain Divine Soldiers were actually deceived by the Yang Spirit Envoy.

——

"Crash——"

The mountain of memorials and books on the desk were swept to the ground, scattered chaotically across the luxurious palace floor.

Empress Dowager Yan Rong, Xiao Lingqiu, her delicate face pale as frost, her body quivering uncontrollably.

"Such a Jiang Family Army, do they truly believe that our repeated concessions are out of fear?"

Xiao Lingqiu angrily said, "The recapture of those lost lands in Hehuai by them is one thing, and I've swallowed my pride for now. But now, they actually dare to covet Yanbei, treating my Yanrong as straw puppets!"

In the heat of anger, Xiao Lingqiu caught sight of Yelü Miaomiao's slightly upturned lips, implying amusement.

This scene ignited her fury.

"What are you laughing at!"

Xiao Lingqiu shouted at Yelü Miaomiao, "Are you maybe thinking that your beloved is amazing? Hoping the Jiang Family Army would march all the way to Shangjing and trample us beneath their feet?"

Yelü Miaomiao, startled by this sudden interrogation, instinctively murmured, "What can be done if one can't defeat them..."

"You think I can't really beat them?!"

Xiao Lingqiu laughed bitterly out of anger, grabbing a secret letter from the table, intending to throw it at Yelü Miaomiao.

However, midway, her hand abruptly paused, ultimately only tossing the letter severely back onto the table and coldly saying,

"Moreover, you truly believe this so-called Jiang Family Army is commanded by Jiang Shouzhong? He's merely a puppet being manipulated. You've known him not just for a day, do you think he has such capability?"

Yelü Miaomiao couldn't help but counter:

"But according to the spies, that woman named Yeying in the Capital is Jiang Shouzhong's soulmate. In this world, some men are willing to give up power for beauty, and some women might conquer for their beloved. It's not impossible."

"You—"

Gazing at this love-struck girl before her, Xiao Lingqiu was so angry she couldn't speak.

Yet she was also somewhat apprehensive.

Since the emergence of the Jiang Family Army, all her meticulously laid plans had been thrown into disarray.

These days, she hardly had a peaceful night's sleep.
