This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

It was Xuanji who stopped her, and Hua Qiyue gave him a smiley facewarm smile.

That smile stung Yun Shimo’s Shimo, and his face fell at that smile, which made him feel the sting. But he didn’t say anything. He. Saying nothing, he walked towards the cave, Princess Qianyang staring at him during the whole journeythe whole way.

“What’s up,What is it anything wrong?” Hua Qiyue asked Xuanji casually.

Xuanji took a look at Yun Shimo, not answering Huasu Yue’s Qiyue’s question. They walked to the log cabin. Ji Feng and Huangfu Xuan followed up.

“Xuanji, what happened just now? It can’t be just be a simple competitionThat wasn’t a training fight, rightwas it?” Huangfu Xuan whispered.

“If you feel botheredIf Yun Shimo bothers you, you don’t have to get involved with him with anything that has to do with him in the future,” Hua Qiyue said in a flat tone, seeing Xuanji’s furrowed brow.

“Anything that has to do with you has to do with me!” Xuanji repeateding what he’d had just saidtold Yun Shimo.

Hua Xiyue was confused, but thought to herself that the order was perhaps made by Xuan’s Father, so she didn’t ask further.. Perhaps it had something to do with his father’s orders. She decided to let it go.

“Xuanji, Yun Shimo is also quite competent. Don’t be so impulsive anymore; we are friends, and we should stay that way,,”

Ji Feng said to Xuanji; with a wry expression his face was wry. Although Xuanji had no serious visible wounds, Ji Feng knew better that both Xuanji and Yun Shimo had likely suffererd internal injuries that time when they were inside.

Xuanji looked at Hua Qiyue indifferently, and ignored Ji Feng and Huangfu Xuan. “Qiyue, Yun Shimo has a lot ofmany secrets, you must be careful yourself!”

And tHhen he walked away, toward the log cabin.

Hua Qiyue stayed there, feeling puzzled, watching the man as he went awayhis retreating figure.

Everyone kept saying that Yun Shimo was not an ordinary a person.

AndEven Yun Shimo admitted that tthere was one more reason that Hua Qiyue had been told about it, toodidn’t know.

Anyway, Yun Shimo wouldn’t believe him as stupidly as before.

Yun Shimo returned to the cave, leaning on the bed made of jade. He had a severe internal injury, so he lethad Princess Qianyang fetch him her self-made Huanyuanjieshendan.

“You have internal injuries. Shimo, you and Xuanji do not have a great relationship, but it certainly isn’t so bad. How come you two got into a fight?”

Princess Qianyang was not stupid, so she knew it was just an excuse to get away with Madame Yun.

Yun Shimo received the medicine pellets and took one.After Yun Shimo took the medicine,

Princess Qianyang then sat down and reached for Yun Shimo to rub his backbegan rubbing his back.

Yun Shimo didn’t flinch for that offeraccepted it willingly; the expression on his face showed his weariness. Closing his eyes, Yun Shimohe felt like he could see Hua Qiyue’s eyes, full of hateeyes, full of hatred.

Yun Shimo bitterly acknowledged there was no returning to the old days for him and Hua Qiyue.

‘We just couldn’t go back to the old days…’

Yun Shimo had that bitter idea. Would this have happened ‘Iif Ihe had used another a different approach, would it have been better back then?’?

During that time, Princess Qianyang was purposely looking at Yun Shimo, and was able to see the regretful look that slipped over Yun Shimo’s face, after allknew Yun Shimo was thinking about Hua Qiyue, and her heart ached..

Her heart ached.

InFor the past few days, Princess Qianyangshe had not taken the sedative pills from Yun Shimo. And the soberer Princess Qianyang became, the more she felt that the girl she was now was her real self. With the pills,

The girl she was before was too calm. When that girl saw Hua Qiyue, she didn’t feel jealous of her. she hadn’t even felt jealous when seeing her husband with Hua Qiyue — that wasn’t like her, at all! The more time passed without the pills, the more she felt like her real self.

But just then, wWhen she saw Yun Shimo and Hua Qiyue being together today, Princess Qianyang felt that her heart was on the edge of breaking apart.

What she could not stand the most was the betrayal of her man. She would not tolerate her man betraying her, and she suspected that the pills Yun Shimo were giving her weren’t sedatives, but something else, entirely.

Princess Qianyang smiled softly. “Honey, do you feel tired nowAre you tired, honey? Why don’t you lie down and have a rest, and let me give you a massage?”

Princess Qianyang smiled softly and said to Yun Shimo.

Princess Qianyang began to suspect that it was not the sedative pills, but another kind of medicine pellets that she had been given to take.

“No, thanks., yYou may leave and doattend to your own business,” Yun Shimo said simply, with eyes closed. No expression could be read from his face.

Princess Qianyang’s hands were suddenly stiffstiffened, and her pretty face turned coldexpression soured. She got off the jade bed and turned away, leaving without saying a word.

Yun Shimo then opened his eyes, to seewatch Princess Qianyang leave, while feeling a bit confused.

Why had she comeShe came with Tianci to try to find athe Man-Hunting Insect?. Why did she come to the west side?

As a level nine alchemist, Perhaps, those drugs were not working.

Or, perhaps she was not even taking them.

Yun Shimo knew what he was capable of. He was a level nine alchemist. It was impossible that those the Passionless Pills were not working?. If that was ruled out, the only explanation could only be that Princess Qianyang had not taken the pills at alln’t been taking them.

“It lookeds like Ihe would have to reevaluate the whole thingthe situation and form a new plan..” The news that Princess Qianyang had not taken the pills at all made Yun Shimo begin to think about the new plan.

—————————— * * *

“Mom, why were you away for so long.? The Man-Hunting Insect is still sleeping., iIs there anything wrong with it?” Tianci held the little worminsect in his palm carefully, and his red face was just so adorable.

Hua Xiyue patted on Tianci’s head. “It will be fine. It might just have overdosed a little.”

“But I haven’t given it too much!” Tianci replied, with his big round eyes full of surprise. “But I haven’t given it too much!”

Hua Qiyue remained quiet for a while, picking a grass thorn out of Tianci’s cloth, and finally said, “Tianci, try to avoid Princess Qianyang, you understand me?”

Tianci blinked his eyes innocently. He of course didn’t understand what her mom just said to himwhy his mom would ask this of him, but he still nodded, just to say yesanyway.

Hua Qiyue knew that Princess Qianyang must have been trapped by her little boy Tianci, somehow. She adored himadored Tianci. A, which must be part ofnd that for sure was Yun Shimo’s plan. However, Princess Qianyangthe princess had actually gone to their west side for searching place where Yun Shimo had ambushed her, so it was clear that she knew what Yun Shimo planned to do.

Anyway, Hua Xiyue was cold to Yun Shimo for the following days.

As for Princess Qianyang, every time she saw Yun Shimo laying his eyes on Hua Qiyue, her heart would feel a slight sting.

And every time she felt the sting, Madame Yun would be there with a bowl of soup. With herself being in that bad mood, Princess Qianyang could only eat a little of that soup.

Early that day.

The next day, Yun Shimo, Ji Feng, and Huang Yuxuan, those three men came returned from back from hunting. They were sweating too much, all of them were soaking wet.

“Shimo, do you feelare you tired? Go, change your clothes, and then come here to drink thehave some soup. I made you the soup myself today!” Princess Qianyang ran to Shimo in a pettishly charming manner, and her face looked like a newly married wife.

“Alright, let’s put the soup down, I’ll have some water first,.” said Yun Shimo looked at Hua Qiyue subconsciously and said to Princess Qianyang, his eyes wandering toward Hua Qiyue.

Princess Qianyang forced a smile. “Okay, then. Let’s put the soup down first. Have some water,.” Princess Qianyang smiled softly; she noticed Yun Shimo’s fixed eyes on Hua Qiyue, and it was special. she said, following

Princess Qianyang walked behind Yun Shimo. She felt so miserable and so bitter.

How could he think she wouldn’t notice Tthe way Yun Shimo he was looking at Hua Qiyue, how could Princess Qianyang not understand? After all, Hua Qiyue was a girl who had Yun Shimo’s love. The pained and lingering eyes of Yun Shimo were evidently for a lover! It was clear he was still in love with her.

Princess Qianyang suddenly felt that tThe wall she Princess Qianyang had built up inside her head collapsed. She thought that Yun Shimo had only loved her, but Iit turned out that it was only her fantasieswas just a fantasy.

But, what Princess QianyangWhat the princess could notn’t understand was thatwhy Yun Shimo had abandoned Hua Qiyue and had run away with her. What’s more, he had even married her, even going so far as to get married.

Had she misjudged what she’d just seen?So, what she had just seen was simply a mistake?

Princess Qianyang didn’t dare to dwell on it, but she did hope what she had seen was just a mistake. On that point, she could only delude herself. “That was just my illusion. He only loves me. How is it possible thatIf he loveds Hua Qiyue? If he did love her, he would have been with her for a long timestayed with her, and right? He wouldn’t have left her to marry someone he didn’t love.wouldn’t have run away with me, right?”

Princess Qianyang quickened her steps and , gently reacheding for Yun Shimo’s hand and holding it gently, and held it.

Yun Shimo’s body stiffened because of that gentleat her touch, but he didn’t try to shake off thather handoff.

Then Pprincess Qianyang felt the chill in her back, that came from some cold eyes. ‘Well, well. Hua Qiyue, he didn’t refuse me, he loves me. took this as affirmation of his affection for her. Besides, she didn’t have anything else he could possibly want, so he must have married her for love.

‘Plus, if he is just using me, it wouldn’t be logical, because I don’t have anything…’ Princess Qianyang thought so, and tThe pain in her heart slowly faded.

Hua Qiyue looked away from the people couplein front of her, for; it was difficult for her to look at such a scenewatch. She had long known that Yun Shimo had already married Princess Qianyang., tThough they had notn’t finished the wedding night ritual, they were still legitimately husband and wife.

And as for her, she was just an outsider, right?

“Qiyue? Qiyue?” Ji Feng yelledsaid in a low voice on at her side.

Hua Qiyue was eEmbarrassed, she turned around to Ji Feng. She had alleged to others that she would no longer lay an eye on Yun Shimo, and she acted like she hated him so much that she would have ripped him off back then. But then, in the eyes of Ji Feng and the other guysmen in her party, she was justprobably just seemed envious jealous of Princess Qianyang, wasn’t she.?

Hua Qiyue hesitated and said, “Brother Ji, why don’t you go and change your clothes, too.? It would be bad for you to catch a cold.”

Like the others, Ji Feng’s was soaking wet, too. Hunting among the towering old trees was certainly a hard job. The woods were airtightstuffy;, and though it was autumn at the moment, it would still make you sweaty just by standing theresimply standing still out there could make you sweat.

Ji Feng smiled at her concern. “Right, I am going!” Hua Qiyue was actually concerned about him; Ji Feng grinned at that idea.

Huangfu Xuan’s eyes were dimmed for a secondmoment, but he didn’t not say anythingspeak. He turned around and walked towards the log cabin.

Xuanji stood there, his brow slightly furrowed. He watched saw Hua Qiyue’s being concerned about for Ji Feng, noticing the grief in her eyes. His heart hurt, and it was beyond his control.

“Mom, did you see the meat they brought back? there must be some great food to eat laterDinner is going to be great!. Well, then, wWhy don’t we go to the place where father practices first?”

Tianci asked, pulleding his mom’sher hand and asked her.

“Why do you want to go to that placethere?”

“Because the place where dad practices has thick anima energy!”

Hua Qiyue sneered at that answergrimaced, but she said nothing though. She had then sent her spirit to the jade gourd to do the practice. Although her body remained in the physical world, it was asstill effective as usual.

“No, I will go to my place. And you, Tianci, you will go with me. Mom will take you to some place,” Hua Qiyue said, gently strokeding his hair and said.

Tianci’s eyes were full of curiosity.

Hua Qiyue took Tianci to the west side of the woods and sat down under a huge bodhi tree.

She took the hisher son’s hand with one hand and her other hand held the green jade with the other, and she hummedsaid, “Open!”

And that was the key to the world of the green jade gourd. Hua Qiyue held Tianci’s hand and walked in.

“Mom, what is this place?” Tianci was shocked. The white smog around them scared the boy a little, but with Hua Qiyue on his sidehis mother there, he also was mostlyfelt very curious.

Hua Qiyue cracked a smile. Usually, Tonly the owner could enter the jadehe space inside the jade gourd allowed only its owner to get in, generally. But if Hua Qiyue’sthe owner head could allowed for another personit, others could enter, as well., then that person could also get into jade gourd.

“This is the place where mMom practices!” Huaxiu Tianci mumbled. The white smfog around them disappeared gradually, and what was laid out in front of Tianci at the moment was a magical world. In here, the wind was light, the clouds were clear, the sky was blue, and there was a large field growing medicines of assorted colors.

In that place, every ten steps there was an old tree, and those old trees were hung with fruits ofemitting a strange light.

There was a spring, not very far away from them; a red-haired man was sitting next to it all quietquietly.

Tianci looked at the red-haired man in surprise, taking in his villainous appearance. The boy stared at the evildoer-like face. “Mom, who is he? Wow, he is even more good-looking than dad!”

Hua XQiyue stiffened with a bit of pride. “He is mom’s master.”

Tianci turned to look at Hua Qiyue in great amazement. That child didn’t know who Tianpi really wasShe didn’t tell him Tianpi’s true nature. If he the boy found out that he was a devil, he might be scared.

Tianpi opened his sharp eyes and saw Tianci. A second of coldness flashed through his eyes., and his eyes flashed with ice.
