Chapter 114: The Convergence of the Four Souls

“That is excellent indeed!” The middle-aged sorcerer gave a string of cold laughs.

Chen Yang was merely an onlooker, unable to interfere, as though he were watching a film.

Yet he truly had not expected that an ordinary mortal could devise such a vicious scheme.

From ancient times, this had always been one of Heaven’s greatest taboos.

Should anything go wrong, Heaven’s retribution would surely follow.

...

Her tears fell without end as she leaned against Li Yuanhao’s chest, sobbing her heart out. Her anguish was genuine; she was merely using this excuse to pour out all the bitterness in her heart to Li Yuanhao.

“No,” He Lanyuan said without even raising his head. Tomorrow, who knew how many “old acquaintances” would come to trample the threshold of his Prince of Xiangbei’s residence?

“Mother, must you really put it that way? Even after I marry, I will still be filial to you.” Yao Xijuan’s voice was no longer as agitated as before. Instead, she spoke in a soft, pleading tone.

The remark that no one knew anything about Xuanyuan Yeyan’s true origins once again stirred the doubts and vague unease in everyone’s hearts over her sudden appearance in the White-Eyed Triangle. Duanmu Jianan hesitated as well.

The moment Lu Anning thought of what had happened yesterday, her anger flared. She yanked off her coat and tossed it to Lan Xiangting, then turned and walked away without a word.

Zhao Wanwan’s heart sank. Li Yuanhao turned and left at once, his steps somewhat unsteady, clearly disappointed. Without realizing it, he had made his way to her palace. More than half a year had passed, and the palace had been redecorated from top to bottom. Everything inside had been arranged according to the way it used to look.

Fan Yanyan was puzzled, and wary as well. Instinctively, he reached for the pistol at his waist, lest Shuang’er suddenly try to ambush him.

But he was too embarrassed to ask Xu Lin about it directly. After all, it was a private matter, and perhaps she had some painful secret she could not speak of.

This corpse looked so dreadful that it almost made me reluctant to die. The commoners of the royal capital widened their eyes and watched closely, wondering whether I would reveal my nine-tailed fox form like Daji.

I hurriedly joined in to persuade him. “Brother Qiang, there’s no use panicking. Let’s calm down first and think about whether these matters are connected. We need to look for clues.”

“Then where do you want this prince to go?” Yan Wushuang refused to leave. No matter how she jabbed him with her elbow, he remained utterly motionless.

Afterward, the physician was summoned. Separated by a screen, he instructed Madam Wu and the others to examine Zheng Deling’s arms and legs carefully. There were no signs of fractures or serious sprains. The pain in her arm had come from the strain caused when she had instinctively grabbed the stair railing to steady herself during the collision.

“Miss, please.” He gestured courteously.

Xuanyuan Hanyue nodded and sat down opposite him. Strangely enough, the black and white stones had formed a deadlocked game. Usually, one side attacked while the other defended, but this game had become a clash between two attacking sides. Both were locked in stalemate, yet each had blocked its own path.

As they were speaking, the wet nurse carrying Duan Yuzhang came over and curtseyed to the Prince and Princess Consort of Shuo.

She called Mo Zhicheng, but his phone was switched off. Ye Linglan grew even more anxious. For several days in a row, she had been unable to contact that man.

They expected her to heal the other person, only to let him harm her once he recovered? What a ridiculous idea.

She felt like vomiting, while he laughed even more smugly. Xin Qing lost her temper and fired off one question after another.

“Ye Zisu! What are you to me? What does it matter to you who I’m with? You betrayed me again and again, and even pretended not to know anything, making me feel so guilty toward you... I can’t believe I ever regarded you as a friend!” Fang Mian stepped forward and roared at Ye Zisu.

By then, several divine physicians from the Celestial Realm had already descended into the mortal world to exterminate demons. Only the Ninefold Mystic Divine Physician, Sun Simiao, remained. Seeing Hua Tuo and Bian Que receive the praise of countless people and win the love of the common folk after descending to the mortal world, he was deeply unwilling to accept it. Thus, he too descended to exterminate demons.
