Chapter 16: (Sixteen) Wancha Palace

Ye Luoxuan seemed quite satisfied with Leng Lingxue’s performance. With a pleasant lift at the corners of his mouth, he put his ghost mask back on, picked up Leng Lingxue, and walked toward the living room. His obedient apprentice was hungry, and as her master, he naturally had to be responsible for feeding her.

Cuddled in Ye Luoxuan’s arms, enjoying being fed by him, she listened to Bai Sha reporting on the affairs of the Ghost Fiend Palace from the side. Her master was truly powerful. Previously, the Wan’an Kingdom and the Mohai Kingdom had wanted to form an alliance to confront the Ranxuan Kingdom together. The two countries had been in good negotiations, but for some unknown reason, they turned into enemies overnight. Naturally, the Ghost Fiend Palace had played a significant role in this.

“King, the Wansha Palace, which emerged suddenly a year ago, has been constantly competing with us for territory, and several battles have already broken out. The people in Wansha Palace have peculiar martial arts and strange moves, and they are on par with us. No one knows who the master of Wansha Palace is. It is my dereliction of duty that I have failed to find out. Please punish me, King.” Bai Sha said, kneeling on one knee, waiting for Ye Luoxuan’s judgment.

“Handle it according to the palace rules; go and receive your punishment yourself.” Ye Luoxuan did not even look at the kneeling Bai Sha, his cold voice sounding slowly.

“I obey.” Bai Sha responded quickly and vanished from the spot in an instant. The entire living room was left with only Ye Luoxuan and Leng Lingxue.

Leng Lingxue seemed to be in a very good mood, eating with great delight. Ye Luoxuan gazed at the little person in his arms with doting eyes, tightening his hold on her. His warm breath sprayed into Leng Lingxue’s ear, instantly causing her body to stiffen. She turned her eyes to look at him, full of feigned reproach.

This glance, peerless in its grace, caused Ye Luoxuan’s eyes to darken. His tongue couldn't help but sweep across Leng Lingxue’s earlobe, instantly rendering her unable to move. Her heart also began to beat uncontrollably fast, unable to calm down.

“Master, does this count as an old ox eating tender grass?” Leng Lingxue said, refusing to be outdone. As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Luoxuan’s face instantly darkened. Was he very old? He was only eighteen; he was only eight years older than her. Why was this girl’s tongue so sharp?

Leng Lingxue was very satisfied with Ye Luoxuan’s darkened expression, and her mood improved even further.

“Lingxue, you used my people to create your own force and are even fighting me for territory. Are you planning to swallow up your master’s family fortune?” Having recovered in an instant, Ye Luoxuan asked softly and ambiguously in Leng Lingxue’s ear. Swallowing the pastry in her hand, Leng Lingxue clapped her hands, then reached out to wrap her arms around Ye Luoxuan’s neck.

“Master, I didn’t use your people. I just borrowed Zimei from you. Besides, since you already gave Zimei to me, then Zimei is a member of Wansha Palace. As for fighting you for territory, well, one mountain cannot hold two tigers. What’s more, Wansha Palace has only been established for a year, and its territory isn’t big enough. Since Ghost Fiend Palace has such a vast territory and so many surrounding affiliated sects, you shouldn’t mind me snatching one or two, right?”

“Not big enough? If you said that out loud, you’d scare a whole lot of people to death. Who in the martial arts world today doesn’t know that Wansha Palace is on par with Ghost Fiend Palace? The Master of Wansha Palace is both righteous and evil, their martial arts are mysterious and unpredictable, and their temperament is eccentric. Anyone who offends them is sure to die. Their influence has long since permeated the entire Lingxuan Continent.” Ye Luoxuan raised an evil, charming smile as he looked at the person in his arms and said.
