NOVEL NEXT Chapter 15:
(T/N: Qingxuan Immortal Land -> Azure Profound Holy Land)
Chapter 15: The Empress is Just a Minor Character?:
“Wuhen… is this… is this true?”
“You even have a relationship with the Great Zhou Empress Qingcheng?”
The old patriarch of the Ye family looked at Ye Wuhen and asked, his expression a mix of disbelief, shock, and complexity. His gaze was fiery yet conflicted.
On one hand, he couldn’t believe it; on the other, he was astonished. Additionally, he remembered what he had just said.
He had declared that the Azure Profound Holy Land’s Holy Maiden was the ideal granddaughter-in-law for their family, believing that no one could compare to her in status and position.
But who could have expected…
That the ruler of the Great Zhou, Empress Qingcheng, would come into the picture!!!
The supreme ruler of the Eastern Territories—if she demanded him to take back his words, how could he dare refuse???
“Hmph… this heartless scoundrel has many lovers! The Great Zhou Empress Wu Qingcheng is just a minor character.”
“But I don’t care, Grandpa, you just said that I am your chosen granddaughter-in-law, and you can’t go back on your word!”
“Though my current cultivation isn’t as high as hers, I will definitely surpass her in the future.”
The Azure Profound Holy Land’s Holy Maiden knew well that the appearance of the Great Zhou Empress posed a significant threat to her own position. She pouted and acted coquettishly.
This scene made Ye Wuhen break out in a cold sweat.
The Azure Profound Holy Land’s Holy Maiden indeed showed signs of turning dark…
To control him, she would stop at nothing, even acting spoiled and complaining.
…
Han Qingxue’s words caused another wave of psychological collapse among the already shocked crowd.
Besides the Azure Profound Holy Land’s Holy Maiden and the Great Zhou Empress, Ye Wuhen had other women???
Moreover…
The Great Zhou Empress was just a minor character???
The supreme ruler of the Eastern Territories was a minor character. What terrifying beings could the others be!!!
Everyone felt their brains couldn’t keep up.
They couldn’t understand and didn’t dare to imagine…
Too exaggerated, too terrifying, utterly beyond the reach of ordinary mortals!!!
…
“How could this be… how could this be…”
“This must not be true!!!”
Among everyone present, the most devastated was Nalan Yanyan.
She had never paid any attention to the good-for-nothing Ye Wuhen, and had resolutely chosen the Cloud Sect over him.
Who would have thought she would be kicked by him three times in a row.
Then the appearance of the Azure Profound Holy Land’s Holy Maiden made her pale in comparison, reduced to a mere supporting role.
Now it was even more outrageous…
The ruler of the Eastern Territories, the Great Zhou Empress Wu Qingcheng, was entangled with that scoundrel, vying for his favor.
And it was said that there were even more powerful women out there!
Nalan Yanyan felt like she had been abandoned by the world!!!
She had no desire to stay any longer and turned to flee from the Ye family residence.
The other Nalan family members and the elder of Cloud Sect, Xu Ergou, also began to leave quietly.
However…
“Wait a moment, Xu Ergou, you can leave, but you must leave behind that nameless stone in your storage bag!”
Ye Wuhen called out to Xu Ergou.
According to the usual plan, Ye Wuhen would have used other methods to deal with Xu Ergou, making him surrender the nameless stone.
But the sudden appearance of the Azure Profound Holy Land’s Holy Maiden had disrupted Ye Wuhen’s plans…
However, Ye Wuhen didn’t want to miss out on that nameless stone. Otherwise, he would have to ask Han Qingxue, which he didn’t want to do.
The girl on the verge of turning dark made Ye Wuhen feel very dangerous, and he didn’t want to provoke her…
“Ah… the nameless stone?”
“Are you talking about that black stone??? How… how did you know I have it!!!”
Xu Ergou was stunned when called out, thinking Ye Wuhen was not planning to let him go.
After all, with the Azure Profound Holy Land’s Holy Maiden backing him, even if he killed Xu Ergou, the Cloud Sect wouldn’t dare say anything.
Hearing Ye Wuhen’s words, Xu Ergou was even more bewildered.
The stone Ye Wuhen referred to was something he had obtained by accident. He knew it was extremely hard and difficult to refine, but he didn’t know its other uses. It had always been kept in his storage bag.
But besides himself, no one knew about that stone’s existence.
How did this guy know?
And from his tone, he seemed to know how to use the stone!!!
Ye Wuhen had no intention of explaining Xu Ergou’s confusion, just quietly watching him.
After so many reincarnations, if he didn’t know the most valuable things on Xu Ergou, it would all have been for nothing.
“Alright… alright… I’ll bring it out now!”
Seeing that Ye Wuhen didn’t intend to explain, Xu Ergou didn’t dare to ask further. He directly patted his storage bag and took out a pitch-black, seemingly ordinary small stone and handed it to Ye Wuhen.
Xu Ergou knew this must be a treasure wanted by this guy…
But so what? The Azure Profound Holy Land’s Holy Maiden was supporting him. Saving his life was more important!!!
