Chapter 35
Actually, when the young lady suddenly said that she and this young man would become siblings, she was also shocked. From the way this young man looked at the young lady, it wasn't a brotherly gaze, but rather a man's affectionate and lingering gaze towards his beloved woman.
And from her observations, it is clear that the young lady also has some feelings for this young man, otherwise she wouldn't have gone out of her way to show off in front of him!
In fact, she didn't believe in those vows from the bottom of her heart. Miss wouldn't do such an unscrupulous thing!
Gazing at her with a drunken and melancholic look, he couldn't believe that this little maid could say such things, only...
"That oath is true, I've really become sworn siblings with your family's young lady! This is a fact that can't be changed for the rest of my life, or else we'll be punished by the heavenly rules." Seeing Xīn Yuè (Silver Moon) with her mouth agape and an expression so surprised it could swallow a duck egg, Huǒ Zuì's (Fire Drunken) originally gloomy heart suddenly felt delighted! With some malice, he leaned in close to Xīn Yuè's ear and said with a sly tone: "Your family's young lady deceived me into making that oath, saying I couldn't marry her. Fire Drunken will also make sure she can't get married off, want to drag it out? We'll drag it out for a lifetime."
Huh?
He saw the madness and determination flashing between his eyebrows, as well as that strong possessiveness, which didn't seem like a joke. Yin Yue couldn't help but shiver at the thought. Heaven! Her mistress wouldn't actually be so cruel, would she? Would she really make this young man promise to only be siblings with her, and not husband and wife?
That would be terrible! Although she never wanted the young lady to marry Long Yucai, that scoundrel, doesn't this also mean that the young lady will never be able to get married for the rest of her life?
No way! This is absolutely unacceptable.
Yin Yue's eyebrows furrowed, her face sank, and her expression changed in an instant. The speed of her change was incredibly fast, rivaling that of a certain evil person. It was no wonder she was her trusted personal maid, Huo Zui's heart secretly laughed.
"Regardless of whether what you said is true or false, I, Yin Yue, will not stand idly by and watch anyone harm Miss. You'd better be careful."
Gazing at the silver moon, he didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, but a little girl had actually threatened him! At the same time, however, he also discovered an astonishing fact: on Feng Qiniu's body, there seemed to be an inexplicable and invisible magic power that made people who got close to her involuntarily infected by her extraordinary temperament and assimilated into her personality.
In the Black Wood Forest, wasn't it like that? Feng Fei and his group weren't just doing it for her sake either. Each of them risked their lives to protect her, only wanting her to leave safely first. And now this little girl in front of him is probably the same, if he said he wanted to harm her family's young lady right now, no matter if she had the ability or not, she would probably charge at him without hesitation and fight with all her might.
In the end, for her, he can give up everything, even his life, which is considered the most precious by people, without hesitation. Isn't he a good example?
Her gaze slowly turned to that small but straight back, as if no matter how heavy the burden, facing how strong an enemy, she would not yield. No matter how strong the pressure, it seemed that nothing could bend her. The woman couldn't help but ask herself in her heart: Really? Should I believe in her? If I trust her, will she not let me down?
But does she know what he really needs?
But she knew! What else could he give? Heaven knows, in this life, he only wanted her!
In the arena, Feng Qisha gazed coldly at Huo Jingyun, completely ignoring the intense shock her words brought, and said in a loud, cold voice: "From now on, he has nothing to do with your Huo family. He is mine, Feng Qisha's person."
Her voice paused, Feng Qiuye's eyes gleamed with a murderous intent as she coldly stared at Huo Xingyun: "And whoever dares to move him, I, Feng Qiuye, don't care who he is, will kill him without fail."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yun laughed loudly and disdainfully: "Little girl, you're still wet behind the ears! Who do you think you are, spouting such nonsense? Regardless of whether Huo Zui recognizes me or not, don't forget one fact - he will always be my son, and no one can change that!"
This guy is really shameless!
"Feng Qiexie glared at him with a sarcastic gaze: 'From the moment you drove him out of the house, Huo Zui only belonged to himself and had nothing to do with you. And isn't there a rumor that he's not even your son? Otherwise, why would you drive such a young child out of the house? Since you've already done something so heartless, why are you now shamelessly trying to acknowledge him?' Seeing Huo Zui's furious expression, Feng Qiexie slightly raised an eyebrow and guessed: 'Or do you have some ulterior motive that can't be revealed, wanting to scheme against Zui?'"
Apart from this reason, she really couldn't think of anything else that would be worth the master's trouble to personally come and acknowledge his son, and at the time in Hei Mu Gu Lin, don't even mention telling her that he didn't recognize Huo Zui, at that moment he was so furious he looked like he wanted to kill him on the spot, yet after not seeing each other for a long time, he completely forgot!
"He's just a child, what's there to gain from plotting against our family? If you know what's good for you, hand over my son, or the feud between our families will never end."
Look, this sloppy skill has been used! He is also worthy of being the head of a family, really losing face for several families. Feng Qi's evil lips curled with sarcasm, and he coldly shouted: "If you roll now, I can look at the drunk face and not settle accounts with you. If not..."
At the moment when Feng Qi's evil words fell, her whole body released a powerful aura that was unique to emperors, and an invisible majesty appeared, making everyone take a deep breath in surprise.
Miss Qi's momentum is truly astonishing! Heaven! How could they have believed rumors in the past and regarded her as a useless person?!
He deserves a beating! He does!
At this time, Huo Yun was also furious! With a wave of his large palm, a crimson-colored greatsword slowly appeared in his hand. At this point, he had to use his true abilities! From the several fierce battles in the Black Wood Ancient Forest, it seemed that although this woman's Xuan Qi was low and weak, her actual strength could not be underestimated. Moreover, she still had the assistance of the Man-Eating Blood Vine, so he couldn't help but use his genuine skills.
But this move of his, however, left Feng Jue Tian and the other hidden strongmen utterly bewildered. To deal with a little girl, did he have to be so cautious? The master of the Fire Family had even brought out his Fire Soul Knife, which he rarely used! This was... making a big fuss over nothing, wasn't it?
"Feng Qiye, if you lose! Our family values harmony among relatives and won't take your life, as long as you agree to marry into the Huo Family, how about it?" Huo Jingyun's sudden words shocked everyone, leaving them stunned.
What?
What's wrong with this fire family head? How dare they compete with the Dragon Family for people, it's really...
Feng Qiye's eyes also twitched at the corner, and Huo Yun did so much, but don't tell her that the purpose is just to make her marry into the Huo family?
Her gaze drifted towards Huo Zui, who had a similarly shocked expression on his face. He couldn't be...
"Master Huo, I think you didn't hear clearly. Even if you recognize Huo Zui, I have already made a vow with him that in this life, we can only be siblings and cannot be husband and wife. Otherwise, we will be punished by the heavenly rules." As she said this, she really regretted her previous recklessness and shouldn't have deceived Huo Zui into making this vow. It was truly unfair to him!
Huǒ Jīng's eyes flashed, and he saw that Feng Qiě's expression didn't seem to be lying. After a moment's thought, he said: "The master of the house wasn't talking about Huò Zuì, but my other son Huò Xī. I think Little Yāo should have heard of him?"
Huoye? Huojingyun's second son, seventeen years old, Five-star Xuan Shi. Speaking of the younger generation, his talent is quite astonishing, he's a good candidate.
It's obvious that this is only for ordinary people, and our evil is not among the ordinary. At this moment, she just smiled lightly, and didn't take Huo Xi's words to heart. However, in this round, she must bet if she wants to win. After a quick thought, she already had an idea. Just as she was about to open her mouth to agree, a furious roar suddenly came from behind: "Feng Qiuye..."
In a flash of eye contact, she coincidentally met the face of Huo Zui who was drunk and furious, and her heart skipped a beat.
He glared at her with a fierce and resentful gaze, his narrow phoenix eyes full of warning. He had said that in this life, even if she couldn't marry him, she wasn't allowed to marry anyone else. If she did, whoever she married would have to die, even if that person was his own brother.
Phoenix Seven suddenly comforted him with a smile and silently said: Trust me!
Huozui was furious, and his gaze turned cold. This dead girl is playing with her own life again! Considering Huoyun's strength had already reached the level of a 9-star Grandmaster, although he had greatly increased his power after absorbing the evil fire, it didn't mean he could be his opponent! It was really infuriating! Always treating one's own life as if it were worthless and playing with it.
But it was she who wanted to save herself, but couldn't. It wasn't that he risked his life to save her every time, but rather that she never abandoned herself. Whether it was in the Black Wood Forest against the Nine-Headed Ice King Snake, or during the battle with the Man-Eating Blood Vine, and even when she fell into the big pit, she decisively let go of the golden thread on her wrist to ensure his safety. Perhaps it was this selfless nature of hers that made him and the Phoenix Clan's sons willing to risk their lives to protect her.
Nowadays, she fights for herself, regardless of the gap in strength with Huo Xuan, how can she say that she doesn't love him!
Yes! He really fell in love with her! Although he was reluctant to let her go and didn't like her getting close to other men before, the feeling was vague, but now it's clear that he loves her.
"How about it? Does the little girl have the guts to gamble?" Huo Jingyun looked at the little girl in front of him with a playful gaze, but he didn't like her very much. However, for the greater good, he had no choice but to do so, what a dilemma!
Feng Qiuxia smiled faintly, but in her heart, she was thinking that he didn't know her value, which probably all lay in the evil fire. Back in Hei Mu Gu Lin, he and Yu Liu Fang had fought over the evil fire, but hadn't been able to get it from her. She hadn't expected him to come up with such a despicable move, truly stopping at nothing!
Do you think that by marrying her into the family, the evil fire will be extinguished? Haha! What a joke. Feng Qi's head was held high, and he laughed loudly: "Good, if you can defeat me, I'll agree to marry into your Fire Family. On the other hand, if you lose, you must agree that no matter whether Huo Zui is your son or not, you will have nothing to do with the Fire Family from now on, and you will never bother him again. How about it?"
Hearing Feng Qī's response, it was now Feng Juétiān's turn to become anxious: "Qī'ér, you already have a marriage agreement with the Lóng family, absolutely not allowed!"
The marriage with the Long family, the head of the Long family is unwilling to dissolve it. Now, Ye Er has made a bet with the Huo family's master, if he loses! How can one daughter marry twice?
And in his cognition, Xie Er is no longer a waste material, and the promotion of Xuan Qi level is also fast, but how can she be the opponent of Huo Jia's master? This game is really lost!
I really don't know what this girl is thinking. She clearly knows she's going to lose, so why does she still want to gamble with him? Is it because she doesn't want to marry Long Yuqiao, that good-for-nothing, and thinks that Huo Xiuzi isn't bad either, so she'll just settle for him? (In fact, the people present didn't just have Feng Juetian thinking this way, even Long Shaoyuan hiding in the pavilion furrowed his brow, while Long Yuqiao almost gnashed her teeth. What a Feng Qiuye, she's waiting for him.)
Jian Feng was anxious and sweating, while Feng Qi suddenly had evil thoughts. He said in a cold voice: "The marriage with the Long family was originally agreed upon by you, if you want to marry, then marry."
Wow!
Feng Jue Tian was stunned, he... how could she marry?
In the midst of Feng Qi's loud laughter, Yan Ruo had already unsheathed his sword and charged towards Huo Yun with a swift motion. In an instant, two beams of mystical energy, one red and one yellow, intersected in mid-air, their aura astonishing to behold.
Everyone looked up to watch the two who were fighting fiercely, all of them were shocked and opened their mouths wide. Before, they thought that Seventh Miss was a waste, but after seeing her, they found out that Seventh Miss was incredibly beautiful, not to mention her stunning temperament, completely unlike a waste. Only then did they realize that everything was just rumors. And now, upon seeing Seventh Miss actually exchange so many moves with the Fire Family's master without falling behind, everyone was shocked once again!
With Seventh Miss's strength, she was actually able to fight against the head of the family for so long. I wonder, among the young generation, who else can achieve this?
But their shock was far from over, as another wave of impact followed suit.
"Heavens! You see, the master of the Fire House is actually a Nine-Star Great Mystic!"
It was unclear who shouted, but the crowd finally came back to their senses from the shock and looked at the two people in the arena who had temporarily stopped fighting each other.
Only to see that the originally only two or three star Great Master level Fire Shock Cloud, its power suddenly soared in an instant, all the way up to nine stars before stopping.
What? What?
Everyone's eyes widened, the Nine-Star Great Xuan Master, that is only one level away from the Xuan Wang-level strongman! Is this Moser City going to produce another Xuan Wang strongman? What big news! Big news!
"What? Now you're not hiding your strength, and you're willing to use your ultimate move?" Feng Qiuxia sneered. Is this the Nine Stars Great Master? Haha! She's still not at a point where she can't be defeated, because she is very clear that although the Nine Stars Great Master sounds like it's only one star away from the Xuanwang level, in reality their strength is not on the same level. Earlier, Long Shaoxuan's palm almost slapped her to death, but this time, no matter what, it won't end so miserably!
Jiuxing Daxuanshi, after all, is not the true Xuanwang. Moreover, since she absorbed the evil fire, her strength has risen to that of a 5-star Xuan scholar. If she were to risk everything in one blow, I don't believe there would be no chance of winning at all.
"Little girl, now admit defeat, it's still not too late." If it weren't for the fact that the existence of evil fire couldn't be known to other unnecessary people, which would attract more people to come and snatch it away, he would have liked to slap this little girl to death with one palm, why would he talk so much nonsense with her, and even let her marry his most proud son. After seeing the evil fire in hand, how could he get rid of her? Huo Yun had some vicious thoughts.
"Surrender? Ha ha!" Feng Qiexia looked up at the sky and laughed: "In my life, I've never had these two words. How can you ask me to surrender? Come on! Let me see the strength of Huo Jiamou, the Ninth Star Great Master. If I, Feng Qiexia, wasn't killed by a single palm from Long Shaoxuan, the Dragon Young Master at the Xuanwang level, why would I believe I'd die at your hands?"
As soon as this was mentioned, the crowd erupted in shock and awe. Some people even recalled the rumors circulating a while back about Seventh Miss wanting to call off her engagement with Long San and being severely injured by the Dragon Family's Patriarch, a top-notch expert of the Xuanwang level. Could it be that all these things were true?
If that's the case, then Miss Seven's courage is truly remarkable, she doesn't know what fear is, and she dares to provoke anyone. Now, when it comes to Master Long, she doesn't even use a respectful title, directly calling out his name. It seems her resentment towards Master Long runs deep. It looks like the matter of the Long family marrying Miss Seven into their household is uncertain! But some busybodies are eagerly anticipating what the Long family will do next?
After all, the master of the Long family had previously vowed that no matter whether Seventh Miss was alive or dead, they would definitely marry her into their household and make her the future mistress of the Long family. Now, with this sudden kick to the Huo family, it seems that in the future, these few big families will have a lively time because of Seventh Miss alone!
Seeing the mighty Nine-Star Great Master's power displayed, this dead girl didn't even show a hint of fear and instead said those words. This made Huo Yun very angry, and with his large knife held horizontally, he coldly shouted: "Since you're so ignorant of life and death, don't blame me for bullying the weak! Fire... Soul... Roar..."
As the cold drink sounded, flames suddenly filled the surroundings, Huo Xingyun urged the Xuanqi in his body to frantically pour into the large knife in his hand. In an instant, the flame light was magnificent, and a knife swung down towards Feng Qiujie...
In an instant, a dark wind arose. As the flame shocked the clouds, that one knife swung down, bringing up a piece of fiery color, as if there were thousands of wandering spirits, opening their ferocious mouths, roaring and rushing towards Feng Qiuxi together.
Feng Qi's heart tightened, her face flashed with caution, and her feet steadied. Immediately, she grasped the sword with both hands, and the Phoenix Blood in her body wildly circulated, preparing for a full-force strike, one move to decide victory or defeat.
Phoenix... Blood... Behead...
Feng Qi's voice was cold and stern, as he swung his sword. At the same time, a crimson aura transformed into a majestic red phoenix, emitting the sounds of thunder and the cries of the phoenix, as it charged towards Huo Xiong's cloud in a frenzy...
