Chapter 1723 - 1031: Jing Yuan, Monkey’s Little Sister

No matter how roguish Qin Mang was, there were times he was domineering; he swung a sword across the air!

Yun Liu was already dealing with two Cloud Ascendants, so it was very hard to dodge this sword.

But he was vicious enough—since he couldn’t dodge, he simply didn’t; instead, while the two Cloud Ascendants were relaxing in their delight, Sword Flow erupted wildly from his body, full of the heroic ferocity of "even if I die, I’ll drag you all down."

The two Cloud Ascendants were caught off guard for a moment and actually had their neck and heart directly sliced by Sword Flow...

Dead on the spot.

But Qin Mang’s sword also...

Clang!

Just an inch from Yun Liu’s glabella, there was a crisp metallic ring as the sword gleam was struck by a streak of flowing light and cleanly shattered.

The incoming Qin Mang was startled and roared fiercely, "Who is it?!"

"It’s me!"

On the corridor of the restaurant opposite, a person appeared, with several guards behind her.

Just that flowing-light long dress alone made everyone’s gaze fix on her, not to mention the flowing patterns embroidered on it clearly bore the same Imperial Family markings as Crown Prince Jing Sha.

And that face...

Devastatingly beautiful, but walking a delicate, charming route; unlike her mother’s bone-deep demonic allure, yet absolutely noble and domineering enough.

There wouldn’t be another person under heaven who dared disguise themselves as the Ape Emperor’s cherished jewel.

Sui Yi, through the window, saw the situation inside the building opposite; her eyes curved slightly as the fingers under the table drew swiftly through the air, then hooked.

One second.

Qin Mang, already shocked to see Princess Jing Yuan, had his expression change; but he suddenly felt a strange force stabbing his knees, then his bones went soft...

Not good!

Qin Mang fell straight down in front of everyone, then crashed to his knees; the force was no joke, even cracking the floor.

Everyone was stunned.

Inside the window, the Ice Venerable glanced faintly at Sui Yi.

What Technique was this woman using, that even she hadn’t sensed a thing?

She unconsciously drew her gaze inward.

Outside, Princess Jing Yuan, who was domineering by nature, was also taken aback, then couldn’t help laughing: "Yo, I haven’t even started scolding you yet and you’ve already knelt. Are all the people under Lord Greedy Wolf Star this obedient?"

The dignified Jing Yuan naturally didn’t need to worry about how mighty Greedy Wolf Star was; after all, she had her parents covering her from above, what bird would she be afraid of!

So her words were dripping with sarcasm, leaving all the Starshine people mortified.

General Qin, this is too much of a setup; with you kneeling like that, Lord Greedy Wolf Star won’t even have the confidence to stand up for you.

But we’re all from the Ape Faction, so why did the princess strike just now?

"Your Highness, someone deliberately used a Technique!" Qin Mang had barely said this when he inwardly cried that things were bad.

Jing Yuan’s face had been all charming smiles, blooming like a flower; in the blink of an eye it darkened: "Oh? So what you mean is, it’s my fault? That I was making a scene and forced you to kneel?"

"Qin Mang absolutely didn’t mean that."

Jing Yuan sneered and was about to cause trouble when she suddenly saw Crown Prince Jing Sha’s flying sedan just ahead.

Jing Sha flew down, swept his gaze around, and pressed his brows together.

"Jing Yuan, are you being naughty again?"

Jing Yuan pouted, then suddenly smiled toward the opposite side.

"Brother, you came at just the right time—and by coincidence, Lord Ice Venerable is here too."

Inside the window, the Ice Venerable glanced at the two siblings and said blandly, "A chance encounter."

Jing Sha didn’t want to drag the Ice Venerable in any further; seeing her attitude, since she hadn’t acted in the beginning, she wouldn’t act now.

"Purple Sky’s Yun Liu?"

Jing Sha looked over and frowned: "Qin Mang, get up. What does it look like for you to keep kneeling there!"

Qin Mang, as if granted amnesty, naturally stood up, but...

Jing Yuan had just opened her mouth when her face suddenly changed.

The entire place went quiet, then erupted into laughter.

Because Qin Mang’s pants whooshed down in one go, revealing bright red underpants and two big hairy legs; as for the scenery between those legs, let’s just say it was enough to make the women scream. In that one second, Jing Yuan laughed: "Nice body."

Then she suddenly slapped!

"Dare to act lecherous in front of this princess? You’re courting death!"

You wouldn’t know if you didn’t see it—turned out Jing Yuan was also at the Cloud Ascendant Fifth Level.

With one slap she smacked Qin Mang into a pit in the ground.

Though half of the force was neutralized by Jing Sha.

Jing Yuan looked at Jing Sha, half-smiling: "Big brother, do I not even have the authority now to deal with someone who offends me?"

Jing Sha frowned, "He is, after all, a Great General of Starshine. A minor punishment is fine, but killing is not; besides, it was obvious just now that someone used a Technique."

The heavily injured Qin Mang climbed out of the pit, shouting his innocence as he pulled up his pants.

Back then he was always the one acting arrogant; he hadn’t expected to come to Purple Sky and lose face again and again.

Qin Mang was filled with murderous intent, but he didn’t dare expose it, because this Jing Yuan’s temperament was unpredictable and hard to read.

But just as Qin Mang finished speaking, his legs suddenly froze over; face turning pale, he lowered his head to look.

Both legs shattered in frost, leaving only the upper half of his body.

He screamed miserably.

Jing Sha’s face changed and he looked toward the Ice Venerable’s side.

"Showing that sort of thing in front of me... does that not count as an offense?"

"Or is Crown Prince Jing Sha not only planning to control your sister, but also wants to control how I, the Ice Venerable, deal with this man?"

Ice snow still danced at the Ice Venerable’s fingertip; her eyes were icy cold, just like that ruthless night when she killed the Blazing Flame King.

Jing Sha was choked for a moment, yet just as the Ice Venerable said, he had the authority to control his own sister, but not the slightest right or ability to rein in the district chief of Ice Gleam, the Ice Venerable; even his father had no way to govern the other district chiefs, because Purple Sky was only the strongest, not a unifier.

So Qin Mang’s legs were wasted in vain; he could only spend great effort to repair them, and that would take time.

But she’s the Great General—how could she keep her leg broken and just hanging there forever.

This time they’d basically offended Greedy Wolf Star for nothing.

——————

Jing Yuan was utterly reckless, didn’t care at all how stifled her own big brother felt. Seeing Jing Sha leaving with Qin Mang, she replied, "Mm, you go ahead, I’ve got stuff to do."

Then her eyes stuck right onto that Yun Liu.

Jing Sha ground his teeth inwardly, but could only leave.

Yun Liu was indifferent. After thanking Jing Yuan he said nothing more, instead turned and cupped his fists toward Ice Venerable in thanks, then departed.

"He’s actually not bad. If your little childhood sweetheart runs into him, she might be in danger. Want to go up and cripple him?"

The guy just thanked you a moment ago and now you want to cripple him?

"I don’t have that kind of ability." Sui Yi rose, seeing that Jing Yuan was in no hurry to chase Yun Liu and instead walked over.

"Lord Ice Venerable."

"Something?"

"You think Yun Liu is good too?"

Ice Venerable only needed one look at her eyebrow to know exactly what kind of thoughts were stuffed in her head.

"I’m not interested in those far weaker than me."

Jing Yuan laughed. "As it happens, I’m not."

Then she ran off after Yun Liu...

Quite straightforward.

Sui Yi watched her back and thought of that woman’s mother....

In the end mother and daughter are mother and daughter—there are still some similarities, like that personality...

"The Ape Queen loves good looks. Once the Ape Emperor went to the Three Realms Origin Outer Domain Battlefield and was badly wounded, lots of wounds on his face. Because the battlefield’s deathly baleful aura is very harmful to the flesh, the injuries were hard to heal, so his face looked quite bad. The Ape Queen only visited him once and then refused to go again, saying he was too ugly and she didn’t want to see him.... So afterward the Ape Emperor focused on healing the wounds on his face first...."

Sui Yi... mm... felt a bit tipsy from that.

—There are actually couples this capricious in the world?

That Ape Queen is a weirdo too.

"But Yun Liu...."

"I’ve seen plenty of good-looking ones. Once in a while picking an ugly one is refreshing."

"Why do I feel like Ice Venerable is insinuating about someone."

"I can tell you directly, the one I’m insinuating about is you."

Well then, dissing my looks again?

Sui Yi could only laugh and cry, flicked her sleeve. "Then when Ice Venerable someday sees my true body, you’ll probably be disappointed too."

"You’re overthinking it. By that time, I may not even be interested in you anymore..."

Ice Venerable slanted a glance at Gao Li and the others watching from not far away, thinking to herself, another familiar face?

Truly doesn’t mind meat or vegetables.

Her body shifted, ice currents flickering in and out.

"Curiosity has a shelf life."

Then she left.

Very aloof.

Sui Yi chuckled lightly. Seeing Gao Li nod to her, she returned the nod, then left as well.

But as soon as she got home, she saw Yan Jingan had already returned.

"Mm, you changed clothes." Sui Yi showed off her powers of observation.

Yan Jingan smiled softly. "Changed over at the Dragon Queen’s. Satisfied?"

"Eh?~~ Then why are you back so early?" Dirty jokes—if the other side starts, Sui Yi can pick them right up.

"Efficiency comes first." Yan Jingan poured tea, then suddenly, together with Sui Yi, abandoned the topic and looked toward the two people drinking tea at the side.

In perfect unison: "Feixuan, Qingxuan, what are you two blushing for?"

"So young, and your thoughts are already this unhealthy."

Shi Feixuan and Shi Qingxuan: "....."

Even sitting still we’re catching stray bullets here, overturn the table already!

————————

Days living together with a Sect Master and a Teacher are doomed to be this deep-water, burning-hell scenario, because those two crack jokes all the time, then, with Soft Spear and Soft Sword, silently shift all the "attack power" onto them...

Under this kind of tempering, Shi Feixuan and Shi Qingxuan became more and more calm and fairy-like....

"Xiao Yao escaped." Yan Jingan finally brought up serious business.

And even shared an absolute secret that most people didn’t know.

"She injured Greedy Wolf Star."

That sentence left the three of Sui Yi all shocked and doubtful. Xiao Yao could injure Greedy Wolf Star?

"She’s Starfall?" Shi Qingxuan asked, puzzled.

"No. But she has poison—Dragon Ape World’s most terrifying poison."

Yan Jingan handed Sui Yi some tea, saying, "Dragon Ape World is a transit station, due to the world’s geological structure. Four or five out of ten mineral materials there belong to the spatial attribute. This kind of terrain makes it highly compatible with many substances in this world, and thus gave birth to an extremely complex poisonous herb called Mysterious Evil. ’Mysterious’ because its toxicity is ever-changing, impossible to detect, mutating out of nowhere and hard to cure. ’Evil’ because each mature stalk of Mysterious Evil means that all underground spatial life within a thousand-mile radius is drained of Spiritual Energy. Its baleful aura is extremely heavy—both mysterious and evil. Once poisoned, it’s basically impossible to completely eradicate. Anyone below Starfall will definitely die; even a Starfall expert has to be severely injured. And as time goes on, Mysterious Evil will regenerate inside the body, draining that person’s power and killing them completely....."

An extremely terrifying plant—probably no one would have thought Xiao Yao would have it, and even use it to poison Greedy Wolf Star.

"Then what kind of person is Xiao Yao, to hate Greedy Wolf Star that much..."

"She seems to have no cultivation."

Shi Feixuan found it hard to imagine a woman with no Cultivation Level risking herself alone to poison a Starfall expert.

"You can work backward to deduce what kind of person she is."

Sui Yi sipped her tea, meeting Yan Jingan’s eyes.
