Celestial 'War God' Return

Chapter 400: Situ Lingxi’s Anger

Sun Weitian frowned for a moment when he saw Shangguan Qingyue and Ming Ren, but his expression turned playful once his gaze fell on Shao Yuyan. "Hey! I didn’t expect to meet you here, Yuyan."

Shao Yuyan didn’t respond to Sun Weitian and hid behind Shangguan Qingyue like a frightened rabbit, her body trembling quite violently.

Sun Weitian’s lips curled up. "Do you—"

"Shut up, scum!" Sun Weitian was confused about why Shangguan Qingyue was furious with him, as they had never had any problems in the past. "Yuyan is my good friend, so I warn you not to harass her. Your Sun Clan is powerful, but my Shangguan Clan is more powerful."

Sun Weitian raised his eyebrows and wanted to refute Shangguan Qingyue, but he saw the woman in front of him take out a device from her storage ring. As a member of one of the prominent clans, he knew the function of that item. "Tsk... Tsk... Are you really going to use that thing, Qingyue? I’m sure you only have one, so you won’t waste it, right?"

"Heh!" Shangguan Qingyue snorted and took two more devices, which shocked Sun Weitian. "Who said I only have one? My Shangguan Clan is richer than your Sun Clan, and I have a good relationship with someone from the Song Clan, so it won’t be difficult for me to get more."

Sun Weitian could only curse angrily in his heart. "Very well! Since I’m not accepted in your group, I’ll go find a way out myself."

Shao Yuyan patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief after Sun Weitian disappeared from their sight. "Thank you, Sister Qingyue. If you weren’t here, that scum would definitely hurt Brother Ming and harass me again."

"There’s no need to sweat trivial matters." Shangguan Qingyue stored all three devices into her storage ring. "I never liked that scum, so I don’t want him anywhere near me."

Ming Ren kept his sword. "Thank you, Sister Qingyue. I didn’t expect you to have three devices."

"Haha," Shangguan Qingyue laughed. "Isn’t that the benefit of being the in-laws of a royal family?"

Ming Ren and Shao Yuyan smiled wryly because their two clans weren’t within the laws of the Taixu Clan, like the Shangguan and Song Clans.

"Alright! Don’t think about that man anymore because he won’t dare bother you two as long as I’m here."

After that, the three of them continued their journey to another area, but they had trouble finding the exit because they didn’t know the right direction.

Ming Ren walked in front of the two women while monitoring the surrounding situation with extreme vigilance.

Behind Ming Ren, Shangguan Qingyue and Shao Yuyan walked side by side. "What exactly did that scum do to you, Yuyan?"

Shao Yuyan’s face turned pale, feeling conflicted. She bit her bottom lip and told Shangguan Qingyue the truth. "Back then, my grandfather invited the Sun Clan to a banquet in our clan, and that scum bribed one of our maids to put an aphrodisiac in my drink. No one was unaware of it, and I drank it without suspecting anything. Thereafter, my body became hot and my lust overflowed, and that maid took me to that scum’s room."

"Then?"

Shao Yuyan sighed heavily. "When that scum came into the room and took off his clothes, I panicked and wanted to run away, but the aphrodisiac was too strong for me. I tried to fight him, but I couldn’t use my strength. I was helpless when he stripped me naked, and I cried loudly when he groped my naked body. I had resigned myself to my fate, and I thought about committing suicide after it was over. Fortunately, my aunt passed by his room, and she heard my weak pleading voice from inside, so she immediately broke into the room to save me."

"Tch! That scum will die horribly one day!" Shangguan Qingyue spoke hatefully.

"I hope he dies a horrible death." Shao Yuyan’s voice became calmer. "If my aunt hadn’t heard my voice at that time, I would have died long ago. She saved me from that scum, but she couldn’t do anything to him because the Sun Clan is far more powerful than my Shao Clan, and they have close ties with the Situ Clan. Since then, the relationship between our two clans has become strained, and my grandfather no longer wants to have a relationship with them."

Shangguan Qingyue nodded in understanding. "The Sun Clan is indeed powerful, and their status rose high because of their relationship with the Situ Clan."

"Even though nothing happened to me that day, I can’t forget the incident, and I cry every night because of the memories." Shao Yuyan looked at Ming Ren in front of them, and her gaze softened. "A few months later, my parents took me to the Ming Clan, where I met my fiancé. We didn’t know each other before, but he suddenly approached me and said that he fell in love with me at first sight."

"Haha," Shangguan Qingyue laughed softly. "Did you also fall in love with him at first sight at that time?"

Shao Yuyan blushed as she nodded. "I don’t have many male friends, and my fiancé really understands me, even though we just met each other, so I also fell in love with him at that time."

"Does he know about that incident?"

"He knows." Shao Yuyan nodded. "My parents told me not to hide the incident from him, so I told him the truth before our engagement night. He was shocked at first, but he assured me that he wasn’t concerned about the incident, and he decided to get engaged to me. After our engagement, he treated me with kindness and gentleness, helping me forget about the incident."

"You are really lucky to find a man like your fiancé, Yuyan."

Shao Yuyan could hear the jealousy in Shangguan Qingyue’s voice. "What about you, Sister Qingyue? Do you already have a fiancé?"

"Not yet." Shangguan Qingyue shook her head. "All the men around me have strong political interests, and they want to marry me to improve their clan status, so I have no interest in them. However, there is one man who has caught my attention, and he is different from the men of those clans. He is not a scumbag young master like them, so he doesn’t have any status in this realm."

"Oh?" Curiosity flashed across Shao Yuyan’s eyes. "What is that man’s name, Sister Qingyue?"

"Tang Xiao." Shao Yuyan felt that she had never heard of the Tang Clan in their Realm. "He is not a native of this realm, and he comes from the Qingquan Realm."

"Oh." Shao Yuyan was not surprised to hear that cultivators from other realms came and settled in their realm. "Is Tang Xiao a disciple of the Nine Profound Sect?"

"How did you guess that?"

"Hehe! Isn’t that easy?" Shao Yuyan asked back with a giggle. "All the clans that have ties with the royal families never send their members to join any sect, except for the Taixu Clan, as the Heavenly Star Palace belongs to them. Thus, I guess that your decision to join the Nine Profound Sect has something to do with Tang Xiao."

Shangguan Qingyue readily admitted it. "You’re right, Yuyan. I did join the sect because of Tang Xiao. However, I’ve never met him in the Nine Profound Sect because he was already away on a mission when I joined the sect, and I had to wait for his return to approach him."

"Hehe," Shao Yuyan laughed softly. "Is Tang Xiao handsome and talented? Otherwise, a woman who is beautiful and comes from a prestigious clan like you wouldn’t waste time chasing a man without status like him."

Shangguan Qingyue’s lips curled up when she thought of Tang Xiao. "He’s not that handsome, and there are many other men more handsome than him, but he has a high talent in cultivation. He’s only twenty-four years old, but his cultivation has already reached the Lower King Level."

"Wow!" Shao Yuyan exclaimed. "He’s definitely a genius! He managed to reach that stage even though he’s still young! When I was his age, my cultivation was only at the Foundation Level."

"Me too," Shangguan Qingyue sighed. "I’m over a hundred years old, but my cultivation has only reached the Peak Emperor Level. People always say that I’m a talented woman because I managed to reach that level in less than a hundred years, but Tang Xiao’s talent in cultivation makes me feel like a complete fool."

"I truly envy talented people like Tang Xiao," Shao Yuyan agreed with Shangguan Qingyue. "Would your clan approve of you having a relationship with him? After all, you’re a member of the Shangguan Clan, and he has no status in this realm."

Shangguan Qingyue smiled. "Actually, it was my aunt who introduced me to Tang Xiao, and our clan members wouldn’t dare to dispute her decision. As long as my aunt supports our relationship, I’m sure that they won’t dare to oppose our relationship."

Sha Yuyan knew the aunt Shangguan Qingyue was referring to, and she was Shangguan Qingyin, the queen of the Song Kingdom. "Since you’re interested in Tang Xiao, I’ll pray that he’ll be interested in you too, Sister Qingyue."

"Haha! Thank you, Yuyan." Deep down, Shangguan Qingyue sighed because Tang Xiao had several wives, and she had to get rid of them so she could have him alone.

Elsewhere, Situ Lingxi was stranded in an unknown area after exiting the portal. She searched for Sun Weitian and her two bodyguards, but couldn’t find them, and the formations in the forest prevented her from contacting them. "Tch! All this happened because of that womanizing bastard! If I meet that light blue-haired woman again, I will kill her straight away!"
