Chapter 10: Chapter 459: Xiliang Xue Comes to the Door Voluntarily

The Great Qin Pavilion.

"Mommy! There's a beautiful big sister outside looking for Daddy!"

Yuanbao stared with a pair of clear, large eyes, blinking at Ye Jinxi, his milky voice sounding exceptionally pleasant.

"Hmm? A beautiful big sister?" Ye Jinxi asked back, then said indifferently, "It's fine, as long as your Daddy stays inside the pavilion properly."

"But, Mommy, Daddy already went down. He's talking to that beautiful big sister."

Yuanbao's words were like a bolt of lightning, striking Ye Jinxi right out of her meditation!

"What? Bu Feichen dares to have a secret tryst with a beauty while I am cultivating?" Ye Jinxi's eyes widened, and she spoke in anger.

Yuanbao curled his lip and muttered softly, "Who told you to be so stupid, Mommy? Your cultivation isn't up to par, so you aren't even qualified to enter the Three Great Sacred Lands. Otherwise, how would Daddy have the chance to chat with beautiful sisters..."

"You brat, what are you saying?" Ye Jinxi frowned.

"No, no!" Yuanbao hurriedly denied it. "I mean, Mommy, don't worry. I already had Sister Ling'er watching from below. There definitely won't be any problems!"

"Mm..."

Ye Jinxi nodded with satisfaction and unhurriedly descended the pavilion, walking toward the exit.

Outside the pavilion, a tall, black figure stood, exuding an intimidating aura that made people dare not cast their gaze upon him. This was Bu Feichen.

It seemed they weren't having a very pleasant chat!

Very well, keep up that attitude.

Ye Jinxi finally turned her head to look at the pale blue figure opposite Bu Feichen. Suddenly, her eyes narrowed, and a sense of threat arose spontaneously.

Princess Wan had clearly made a special effort to dress up today; she was even more beautiful and moving than what had been seen at the wedding. At this moment, she was looking at Bu Feichen with a face full of smiles. With bright eyes, dark brows, fair skin, and a slender figure like a willow branch that seemed ready to drift away with the wind, her pale blue gauze dress fluttered in the breeze, adding a touch of elegance. When she smiled, two faint dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth, adding a sense of liveliness and cuteness to her entire being.

Ye Jinxi looked down at herself. Because of her cultivation, she seemed to haven't bathed or changed clothes for three days. Her hair was a messy nest, looking utterly wretched. Even the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden would probably have turned into a beggar by now...

"Mommy, you are the prettiest!"

Standing to the side, Yuanbao couldn't bear to see Ye Jinxi looking disappointed, so he quickly spoke up to encourage her.

Ye Jinxi was filled with joy because of Yuanbao's words. She patted Yuanbao's small head and said modestly, "Baby, I know. You don't have to say it out loud; you're making Mommy embarrassed."

Having said that, she marched forward with great spirit toward the nearby area.

Watching Ye Jinxi's retreating back, Yuanbao hurriedly covered his face with both hands, fearing that others would realize he was his mother's son.

Deng Ling'er held onto Bu Feichen's leg with both hands, hiding behind him and only revealing a tiny head. She looked timidly at the beautiful young woman in the distance, constantly encouraging herself in her heart: *I must keep a close eye on Uncle Bu! That beautiful sister opposite him is Auntie Ye's love rival!*

"King Chang'an, I have heard that the soldiers of Great Qin possess extraordinary momentum, but the best unit among them is the cavalry under King Chang'an's command. I wonder if Xiliang Xue would have the honor of seeing them?"

Facing Bu Feichen's coldness and the aura radiating from his entire body, Princess Wan maintained the smile on her face, perfectly measured—not a fraction more.

Bu Feichen's gaze swept coldly over Xiliang Xue's face. "The last time I let you go was because of Xiliang Yi."

A single sentence shattered Xiliang Xue's perfect disguise, clearly telling her that he had let her go because of Xiliang Yi, not because of her beauty. If she continued to pester him, he would no longer give Xiliang Yi any face!

Fast!

Ruthless!

Decisive!

These three words could perfectly describe the current Bu Feichen.

Ye Jinxi, who had just walked up to Bu Feichen's side, immediately gave him a satisfied look.

Bu Feichen was long accustomed to his woman's smugness, but he still curled the corners of his lips because of it.

"Auntie Ye!"

Seeing that Ye Jinxi had arrived, Deng Ling'er felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted. She ran to Yuanbao's side and laughed happily, "I watched Uncle Bu very well! That beautiful sister didn't snatch Uncle Bu away!"

Deng Ling'er was young and outspoken; her words made Ye Jinxi's mood even more pleasant.

Sporting a hair-nest, she gave Princess Wan a provocative glance. "Why isn't Princess Wan staying in the relay station to... recover from her injuries? What brings her to the Immortal Pavilion?"

Speaking of the words "recovering from injuries," Ye Jinxi scanned Xiliang Xue from head to toe again.

What a joke!

Xiliang Xue had spiritual power protecting her; how could she be injured? How could she have fallen from a horse?!

It seemed Jun Xiaomo still needed more experience; she had been tricked for nothing and was even acting so happy and smug.

Xiliang Xue's expression did not change because of Bu Feichen and Ye Jinxi's words. She still bowed to Ye Jinxi with a gentle demeanor. "I have long wished to meet the most famous Lady Ye of Great Qin. As expected, meeting you is better than hearing of you."

At this point, Xiliang Xue, just like Ye Jinxi, looked Ye Jinxi up and down and smiled with pursed lips.

*Meet your sister!*

Back when she tried to snatch her away to be the groom, the two had met long ago. Even now, she was still acting for her; her skin was truly thick enough to be invincible under heaven!

Ye Jinxi accepted Xiliang Xue's salute gracefully. Having also heard the sarcasm in Xiliang Xue's words, she narrowed her eyes slightly. "Oh? I am merely a lowly cultivator, following the teachings of my Master, the Pavilion Master, not to be preoccupied with outward appearance and clothing. I hope Princess Wan won't laugh at me. However, as far as I know, Princess Wan also seems to be a cultivator, yet she cares so much about appearance and clothing. Tsk tsk... I wonder who Princess Wan's master is?"

The implication was: *Your cultivation is not deep enough. I don't know if it's because your master failed to teach you well, or if you yourself lack ambition!*

Bu Feichen raised an eyebrow slightly. He was long used to Ye Jinxi's method of using leverage, but he wondered how the Pavilion Master would react if she knew.

The smile on Xiliang Xue's face finally could not be maintained. She said coldly, "I do not understand what Lady Ye means."

"It's best if you don't understand, so the Princess doesn't get anxious and worked up," Ye Jinxi said indifferently. "In the past, didn't Princess Wan think I was a man? So, it's better not to call me Lady Ye. I am merely an insignificant person ranked at the bottom of the Immortal Pavilion; you may just call me the Fourth Young Master."

It was as if she were saying: *We are not close, so don't try to act familiar.*

Jun Mo: *Cousin, isn't 'merely an insignificant person' my catchphrase? My exclusive catchphrase!!*

Before Xiliang Xue could speak, Ye Jinxi continued with a smile, "I heard Princess Wan is here for a marriage alliance. I wonder which young master of our Great Qin you have taken a fancy to, that you would actually abandon the Xiliang Kingdom to come to our Great Qin. I was thinking, Princess Wan's behavior will surely make the young ladies of the Xiliang Kingdom long for Great Qin. Why not just send all the women of the Xiliang Kingdom to Great Qin?"

The meaning was: *Xiliang Kingdom has no handsome men, which is why Xiliang Xue has taken a fancy to the men of Great Qin. And because of Xiliang Xue's pursuit of a husband, it will affect the aesthetic tastes of the women of Xiliang and their longing for Great Qin's men, so it's better to just merge the women of Xiliang into Great Qin.*

Xiliang Xue's expression gradually turned ugly. One must know that the Xiliang Kingdom had many women and few men; therefore, the Snow Mulberry Sword Sect was basically composed of women.

Merging the women of Xiliang into Great Qin was no different from saying the entire Xiliang Kingdom should be given to Great Qin!

"The Fourth Young Master is overthinking it." Xiliang Xue maintained her dignified manner, but her tone had clearly grown much colder.

"I hope I am overthinking it!" Seeing Xiliang Xue's face turn a purplish hue from anger, Ye Jinxi felt much more refreshed.

Xiliang Xue ignored Ye Jinxi and turned her gaze toward the little person nearby. This tiny person was wearing a black windbreaker, bearing a seventy to eighty percent resemblance to Bu Feichen. Despite his young age, he radiated spiritual energy, and his fair, cute little face was surely loved by everyone. This must be Bu Feichen's son, Yuanbao!

Xiliang Xue's eyes instantly lit up. It was said that Bu Feichen had approached Ye Jinxi because of Yuanbao. If she could win Yuanbao's affection, perhaps Bu Feichen would shift his gaze!

Of course, what she didn't know was that Bu Feichen had eaten quite a bit of jealousy because Ye Jinxi treated Yuanbao better than him.

Xiliang Xue was confident in her peerless beauty; what man wouldn't be infatuated upon seeing her, except for her monstrous brother, Xiliang Yi. But Bu Feichen was actually indifferent to her, preferring to give his smiles to this woman who ignored her appearance, while treating her with cold eyes.

She must seize Bu Feichen's heart!

Thinking of this, Xiliang Xue stepped forward to Yuanbao. Her eyes curved into crescents, looking incredibly beautiful and moving. "Are you Yuanbao? You are so beautiful. Auntie Xue likes you very much."

*This woman failed to seduce my husband, so now she's trying to seduce my son!*

It seemed every love rival was like this; to fight for Bu Feichen, they would first snatch his son.

Ye Jinxi's eyes stared sharply at Yuanbao. *Baby, you have to hold the line for Mommy!*

Immediately after, she shot a look at Deng Ling'er: *Ling'er, you must keep a close eye on your Brother Yuanbao, otherwise he'll be snatched away by another woman!*

Deng Ling'er immediately felt as if she were facing a great enemy, looking at the beautiful-faced Xiliang Xue with tension and vigilance. Her small hands gripped Yuanbao's sleeve, fearing that Yuanbao would just fly away with this woman.

However, Yuanbao stared with his watery, large eyes, blinked, blinked again, and said in his milky voice, "Beautiful big sister, my Daddy is a married man. You are so beautiful, you will definitely have men wanting to marry you!"

The implied meaning was: *Don't be so eager to marry into someone's family; there will always be someone in this world willing to marry you.*

Furthermore, by calling her "beautiful big sister" right from the start, he didn't treat her as someone who could even be compared to his father.

The smile on Xiliang Xue's face instantly froze. As a princess of the Xiliang Kingdom, when had she ever been insulted like this?!

But the person before her was merely a five or six-year-old child, and those bright, watery eyes were particularly innocent. He likely had no malice. If she grew angry, it would surely leave a bad impression on Bu Feichen; besides, this child was his son...

Xiliang Xue's smile only paused before recovering. She appeared gentle, kind, and generous. "I know. It is only normal for men to have many wives and concubines. When you grow up, you can also marry many, many beautiful girls as your wives."
