Demoness, where are you Fleeing to?
Chapter 950 - 783

Chapter 950: 783

Lv Qiluo gave a slight nod, "Indeed, it’s a good strategy, though the initial hurdle is a tough one to clear."

Li Xuan, confident in his plan, smiled, "I will have Bilo take her to Hanyun’s place. Before she dispels the thought of seeking death, I’ll have Hanyun keep an eye on her. Once she has adjusted, then it’s not too late to let her act on her own."

Lv Qiluo couldn’t help but narrow her eyes, thinking to herself that this guy truly was as cunning as a ghost.

By having Jiang Hanyun watch over her, it’s probably not just about dispelling Meng Qingfan’s suicidal thoughts, right? This was a plan with multiple benefits. No wonder Li Xuan’s harem was becoming more and more stable.

This guy’s self-proclaimed time management technique was indeed becoming somewhat impressive.

※※※※

About six hours later, Meng Qingfan slowly came to.

Her mind suddenly on alert, she immediately wondered, ’Where am I? What happened while I was unconscious? What did Li Xuan do to me?’

How could she have been so careless, to not guard against the food given by Li Xuan?

Meng Qingfan instinctively wanted to transform into her beast body, but she found herself unable to turn into a Kylin.

"You’re awake?"

A young girl’s face appeared in Meng Qingfan’s field of vision.

It was an incomparable beauty, with the girl’s little face flawless from every angle, stunning enough to bring down cities and kingdoms.

Meng Qingfan recognized this as Jiang Hanyun, but she knew that this was not Hanyun’s true face.

The young girl’s face was still behind the mask named ’Allure’.

Meng Qingfan had seen Jiang Hanyun’s true face a few times while serving as a mount in the Marquis of Guanjun’s residence, which was an otherworldly beauty that should not exist in the mortal world.

The glamour of the nine-tailed Lord Tushan might surpass Hanyun by half a measure, but could never match the latter’s vitality and innocence.

"You are the Time Spear, Meng Qingfan, aren’t you?"

Jiang Hanyun pulled her face back a little, "Li Xuan said he would send me an assistant, an Inspection Divine General from under the Mysterious Yellow Emperor’s command. I didn’t expect it to be you."

However, Meng Qingfan blushed, noticing that dozens of yards away, many members of the Liudao Division were watching her from a distance.

These must be Jiang Hanyun’s subordinates in the Liudao Division, members of ’Shenlei Mansion’.

This made Meng Qingfan feel an inexplicable shame. Being unable to transform into her beast form, she felt as though she was exposed naked in front of everyone.

"I know about your situation." Jiang Hanyun’s voice held a hint of guilt, "Li Xuan asked me to apologize to you on his behalf. He said that because you were once punished with the Qianqiu Brush and the Heaven Palace forbidden spell for protecting his life, you could only transform into your beast form and were unable to regain consciousness. He had no idea about this and had been treating you as a mount, subjecting you to humiliation."

Meng Qingfan let out a surprised "Eh," hearing the genuine apology in Jiang Hanyun’s words.

Is this how Li Xuan explained it to his women?

However, there seemed to be a problem with this explanation. Indeed, she had been forced to become a mount, certainly suppressed and restricted by the Haotian Seal back when it was still the Wenshan Seal, left with no choice, yet occasionally, she still had moments of consciousness.

She had indeed helped Li Xuan a few times, but that was after she became a mount.

Li Xuan had also shifted the blame onto his master’s head—

But inexplicably, Meng Qingfan felt a sense of relief in his heart, and his shame receded slightly.

However, Meng Qingfan then wondered, what about Dasiming? Although Dasiming might not understand the details, she now wielded the Qianqiu Brush and could deconstruct Li Xuan’s lies.

And that damned Tingtian Ao—

Meng Qingfan didn’t realize that a faint murderous intent had begun to form in his eyes.

Jiang Hanyun continued, "Xuan can only compensate you by appointing you as a Divine General of the Heavenly Court. He also wants to personally apologize to you, but he’s afraid you won’t accept it. He said that in Yichang, although there was a one-night connection between you and Qingfan, it wasn’t by mutual consent. If you wish, you can be appointed as the Imperial Consort. If Qingfan you do not wish, there’s no need to mind, and we can interact as sovereign and minister in the future."

When it came to the words "one-night connection" and "Imperial Consort," Jiang Hanyun felt somewhat peculiar inside.

Although she’s usually straightforward, she’s not devoid of emotions, and she indeed felt very uncomfortable.

But the events in Yichang back then were truly the play of fate; no one was to blame.

Jiang Hanyun thought that her husband indeed owed someone an explanation.

Therefore, she immediately stood up generously, with a hearty smile emerging on her face; "Qingfan, you’ve come at just the right time. I’ve recently set my sights on an Evil Spirit. This person possesses the bloodline of a Golden Crow, with an Unparalleled Style Technique, rivaling that of Zidie from years ago. I’ve tried to capture him several times, but he has slipped away. With your help, Qingfan, I will have at least thirty percent more confidence to Zhansha this person!"

Meng Qingfan was slightly distracted, falling into hesitation. However, he felt that Jiang Hanyun’s words and spirit were full of infectious power.

Meanwhile, in the Forbidden City, inside the Wenyuan Pavilion exclusively belonging to the County Prince Fenyang of the current reign, Li Xuan watched coldly the scroll of imperial edict in his hand.

The first line alone made Li Xuan’s expression darken slightly.

It read, "The Great Emperor Kunpeng of the East Sea admonishes the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty—."

What does admonish imply? A command, an order.

The last few dozens of characters were especially stark.

"—Therefore, the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty must, within three days, confer upon me the title ’Lord Immortal Master Shuide,’ and grant an imperial decree to the Emperor. Furthermore, in the prosperous lands of Jiangnan and the Central Plains, construct one thousand eight hundred temples to the Emperor Kunpeng and provide sacrifices and blood-offerings daily without fail. Otherwise, I shall raise an army myself, leading millions, and inundate the entire Jin land with floodwaters."

The author of this imperial edict clearly lacked literary grace, mixing literary and colloquial language, yet the meaning was clearly conveyed.

This was an imperial edict seeking conferral from the Jin Dynasty, and also an ultimatum.

At this moment, Lv Qiluo was by Li Xuan’s side, her expression changing slightly as she communicated with Li Xuan via telepathy: "This Emperor Kunpeng, he’s not only coveting the millions of faithful believers you have as the husband of Immortal Master Shuide, but he also wants to be the master of all the lakes and seas."

Li Xuan simply flicked his hand, burning the scroll of imperial edict to ashes before looking coldly down at a middle-aged scholar in a second-rank official’s big red robe with fish scales on his face and a collapsed nose.

"Go tell your Emperor Kunpeng that he should just bring his troops. I just so happen to crave some raw fish slices. The meat of Kunpeng, I presume, has some distinctive flavor, which I am quite looking forward to."

"Foolish!" The envoy of the Emperor Kunpeng let out a cold laugh: "Because of this very statement from you, Prince Fenyang, my Emperor shall make at least one million people along the coast of the Jin Dynasty pay the price for your arrogance!"

Li Xuan’s pupils tightened, and then a trace of elusive lightning flashed around his waist.

The next instant, the envoy revealed an incredulous look as his entire body was suddenly sliced into hundreds of pieces by Li Xuan’s sword.
