Was it you that night?

Chapter 272: Chapter 270: The Two Male Leads Start Fighting!

Dongfang Wuya felt his Qinghe was indeed still young, only in her twenties this year, yet already the most formidable cultivator in the Cultivator World. He couldn’t help but feel proud that his woman was truly extraordinary.

"This lord’s body is a great tonic for you. Do you really not want to engage in Dual Cultivation with me?"

Responding to Dongfang Wuya was Shen Qinghe’s merciless sword thrust.

He calmly dodged, seduction had failed, so he could only earnestly stand by her, with her heart of iron and stone, hoping he could move her.

This woman was obstinate, her mind didn’t know how to bend, actually passing up on his fine body, which he found incomprehensible.

Just as Dongfang Wuya was inwardly criticizing Shen Qinghe, he suddenly heard more clamor.

His brows slightly furrowed as he looked toward the sky.

Shen Qinghe noticed something was off in his expression, "What’s happened?"

"Those old immortals have come again," Dongfang Wuya said in a deep voice.

Shen Qinghe coldly chuckled, "Have they come to seek death?"

Dongfang Wuya shared the same bewilderment, "Probably tired of living."

He was now gradually used to all kinds of noise, just like Shen Qinghe said, a calm mind naturally brings peace.

He wondered if the Moon Emperor was up to some trick again. If it weren’t for staying by Shen Qinghe’s side, he would have killed his way up to the Heaven Realm and slain the Moon Emperor by now.

Before long, Nan Sheng, with her flowing celestial robes, led a group of fairies into the Sky Pole Sect.

All the people of the Sky Pole Sect were taken aback by this scene.

The last time they saw Nan Sheng, she was wounded by Shen Qinghe’s sword, and her cultivation base regressed. It hadn’t been that long, and yet Nan Sheng was riding on auspicious clouds, having become immortal?

An Lu, shocked and filled with envy and hatred, ran up to Nan Sheng and asked, "Shengsheng, you’ve become immortal?"

With such a grand entrance, were all these maidens trailing behind Nan Sheng fairies?

"How dare you, do not be impertinent with the Princess of the Heaven Realm!" The Lotus Fairy stepped forward to scold An Lu.

The Lotus Fairy’s words surprised everyone.

The first time Nan Sheng was expelled from the Sky Pole Sect, she became a princess of the Demon Realm.

Now upon her return, she had somehow become a princess of the Heaven Realm? That was preposterous.

Shu Xiu saw this from a distance and her brows slightly furrowed. She had intended to go to the Simple Residence Courtyard to send a message, but found herself uncontrollably arriving in front of Nan Sheng.

"Shu Xiu, are you on your way to the Simple Residence Courtyard to pass a message to Qinghe?" asked Nan Sheng, a pleasant smile on her face.

Shu Xiu looked at Nan Sheng with cold eyes, saying nothing.

Seeing Shu Xiu like this infuriated Nan Sheng. She looked toward the Lotus Fairy, who immediately understood and stepped forward to strike Shu Xiu with her palm.

Of course, Shu Xiu couldn’t withstand a fairy’s palm strike. She immediately coughed up blood, and her body uncontrollably flew far away.

Just as she was about to fall to the ground, Shen Qinghe appeared in time and caught Shu Xiu.

She fed Shu Xiu an elixir and, after ensuring Shu Xiu was alright, drew her sword and stabbed toward the Lotus Fairy.

The Lotus Fairy paid no heed to Shen Qinghe and, also because of Shen Qinghe’s swift attack, found it too late to dodge when she attempted. Her body was pierced through by Shen Qinghe’s sword.

The most terrifying thing was that her body turned transparent, "Princess, save..."

She couldn’t finish her plea and vanished in an instant.

Seeing this event left all the fairies dumbfounded; they had never imagined that Shen Qinghe, a female cultivator who hadn’t yet ascended, could actually kill the Lotus Fairy. This was utterly preposterous.

Nan Sheng was equally terrified.

Aside from the alliance by marriage, she had another purpose for her visit, which was to show her strength to Shen Qinghe and make her see the harsh reality.

However, she hadn’t expected that as soon as she made her presence known, Shen Qinghe gave her a show of force.

How did Shen Qinghe manage to kill a fairy with just one sword strike?

"Qinghe, there’s no need for violence. I’ve come to the Sky Pole Sect this time by the decree of the Moon Emperor to form an alliance by marriage," Nan Sheng hurriedly said, fearing Shen Qinghe might strike her.

Shen Qinghe looked at her with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, "So what?"

Nan Sheng looked toward Dongfang Wuya shyly but timidly, but her expression became a bit stiff the moment she saw Xiao Chen.

She loved Xiao Chen, but she was here on orders. Well, it was time to let Xiao Chen see that aside from him, she had other, better options.

"The Moon Emperor says that I and Mr. Wuya are fated lovers from a past life, and to maintain peace in the Three Realms, I am here to form an alliance by marriage with Mr. Wuya..."

"What right does the Moon Emperor have to meddle in my affairs, daring to dictate my marital fate?!" Dongfang Wuya interrupted Nan Sheng’s presumptuous claim.

And looking at Nan Sheng, he felt a physiological repulsion, "Shen Qinghe, if I killed her, what then?"

Upon hearing this, Nan Sheng’s face turned pale with horror. In a panic, she hid behind the group of fairies, "Mr. Wuya, this is the will of the Moon Emperor, I am also just following orders!"

Dongfang Wuya, paying no attention to Shen Qinghe, stared at her, "Can I kill her?"

He knew Shen Qinghe disliked his indiscriminate killing, so he still needed to ask for her opinion.

This question left Shen Qinghe at a loss.

She only knew this world was a book, and Nan Sheng was the main female character of that book; if Dongfang Wuya killed Nan Sheng, would this world collapse?

Before she could come to a conclusion, Dongfang Wuya bluntly said to her, "That woman has run off."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding fairies turned around only to find that Nan Sheng was indeed gone.

They looked at each other in disbelief, struggling to accept that Nan Sheng had actually fled, leaving them behind.

When Nan Sheng ran off, the other fairies also scattered in a flurry, and in the blink of an eye, they had vanished without a trace.

This scene left everyone in the Sky Pole Sect exchanging glances. Strange events happened every year, but this year there were particularly many. Could there be many fairies who acted as cowardly as Nan Sheng in the Three Realms?

Of course, this could only be blamed on Shen Qinghe and Dongfang Wuya being too powerful, such that even the Moon Emperor wished to win over Dongfang Wuya.

It’s just a pity that the Moon Emperor sent Nan Sheng; if Shen Qinghe had been a fairy from the Heaven Realm and the Moon Emperor had sent Shen Qinghe to marry Dongfang Wuya, he certainly would’ve agreed without a second thought—such a beauty trap would have been effective.

The Moon Emperor’s way of thinking was correct, and the beauty trap was the right move. Even someone as strong as Dongfang Wuya couldn’t escape the entrapment of a beauty, but the only beauty he was interested in was Shen Qinghe.

Seeing that Nan Sheng had fled, Dongfang Wuya approached and attempted to take Shen Qinghe’s hand.

But Shen Qinghe, who was unappreciative of such affections, shook off his hand. As he was about to reach out again, he felt someone’s gaze. Following the intense look, he saw Yan Changsheng.

The instant Yan Changsheng and Dongfang Wuya’s eyes met, Yan Changsheng calmly averted his gaze, walked up to Shen Qinghe, and said, "Qinghe, marry me."

The remaining crowd: ...

Shen Qinghe: ...

"You and I know each other inside and out, becoming Daoist companions couldn’t be more suitable, and besides, I can help you break free from Mr. Wuya—"

"Yan Changsheng, shut your mouth!" Dongfang Wuya never expected Yan Changsheng to be so brazen as to hit on his woman right in front of him.

"Why should I shut my mouth? You are the one who owes me from years ago!" In a sudden shift of demeanor, Yan Changsheng’s eyes sharpened as he coldly stared at Dongfang Wuya.
