Phoenix Destiny - Chapter 351 - Emperor

Jiang Wan, It was Jiang Wan!

Some did a double take while others were struck dumb. Chu Zhengyan even yelled at her. “Miss Jiang!”

But Jiang Wan did not even bother to look at him. The seal in between her brows was now as red as blood.

She had let out all her soul energy, as ice shields formed one by one. The surrounding temperature dropped abruptly, freezing everything around her.

“What the hell is she thinking?!” Yan Wugui looked at Jiang Wan, unable to believe what he saw, ~Didn’t she ask the floating cloud gentleman to live up to his choice, which meant that she would watch with folded arms? But now….~

This was the first time that the floating cloud gentleman turned pale with fright. Under Nie Rufei’s attack, the ice shield cracked and shattered one by one. She even slowed down her attacks to make sure they could hear the ice shields crack apart slowly and watch the floating cloud gentleman lose his mind.

~This man made me put down my pride for five years, but he never treated me well or cared about me! Even after we got married, he didn’t even bother to pretend to care, and treated me as if I was nothing! ~

~Am I that lacking that he does not even want to bother to pretend?~

~Is Jiang Wan that good, to keep her in his mind constantly?~

~Finally, I’ve gotten a chance to get back at him~

~Slowly enjoy watching your crush die right in front of you, but there’s nothing that you can do, except to meet her in hell again!~

A thin smile could be seen on Nie Rufei’s face, as she watched Jiang Wan’s seal dim slowly, while the floating cloud gentleman was trying his best to block attacks for Jiang Wan, staring at her helplessly.

~Finally, I have tolerated him for five years, it is time.~

Realising that Lu Mingshu wanted to move, Yan Wugui grabbed onto her tightly and pulled her close. “Don’t. We can’t help them.”

Lu Mingshu took a deep breath and looked down. “I know.” ~It’s just upsetting to see someone die in front of me without being able to help.~

“Pu!” The floating cloud gentleman vomited blood and the light on his body exploded. “Boom!” A palm struck out and the soul light vanished.

The palm was so strong that it sent Jiang Wan flying together with the floating cloud gentleman, almost a hundred miles away.

“Wan!” The floating cloud gentleman used all the energy he had left to support Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan inhaled a trembling breath, as fresh blood flowed from her mouth, down her icy cold skin.

Hearing the floating cloud gentleman’s call, she looked over at him slowly.

“Why did you….” The floating cloud gentleman couldn’t finish his words.

She blinked, and looked at him calmly. “There’s no need to be touched. You took an attack for me, and I returned the favor. We are even.”

“Wan….”

“If I knew that you left me because you had no choice, I may have retained some feelings for you. But it’s too late now, the feelings that died long ago cannot be rekindled anymore.”

“…..” The floating cloud gentleman looked down and held her hand tighter.

Jiang Wan seemed to get more and more tired, her eyes closing as she mumbled. “If I had a choice, I never want to have met any of you. I am even dragged into your feuds …”

“Hahahaha….” Nie Rufei let out a monsterous crackle. Seeing the despair the floating cloud gentleman was in, she snickered. “Such a poor girl. She must have been extremely disgusted huh? Her bright future has been ruined by us, because of our hidden dealings. Oh, and her hard work and effort all turned into a joke, being my chess piece from the start.”

“Fu Yun, Fu Yun. Your life was such a failure. Life as a spy must have been extremely tough, and yet you sent your chief into a trap and also caused your precious crush to die. But this is not the worst part.” She laughed and looked at her nails. Nie Rufei’s appearance may have made her seem cheerful, but the words coming out of her were like a sharp knife, piercing through one’s heart. “The worst part was that she died not because she loved you, but wanted nothing. To. Do. With. You! Hahahaha….”

“What about you?” The floating cloud gentleman looks up, amongst her laughter, staring at Nie Rufei as if she was a joke. “Of course, you won. She may be your chess piece and I may be the loser here. But so what? What is the point of begging for attention now?”

“You—-”

“So what if I’m a failure? Are you any better? Please, mighty elder miss Nie. Needing to be humble to me must have sucked, especially since you knew I was an alienator, right? I bet this must be the reason for your mental illness that you think it would only heal and that you’d feel happier if you kill the both of us. Nie Rufei, you are just jealous. Jealous that Wan could lead a simple and happy life while you had to sacrifice yourself for your family’s benefit. Sure, you can continue to lie to yourself that this is the life you desire and I wish that you would continue to believe in this lie forever!

Nie Rufei turned extremely green and pointed at him angrily. “Who do you think you are? Since you can’t wait to die, I’ll fulfil your wish!”

The palm reappeared, blinding the crowd with light. This time around, there was nobody to help him take the attack. He and Jiang Wan would soon be turned into minced meat….

“Boom!”

“Ahhh—-” a few people who were nearby suffered too and were sent flying.

“Be careful!” Yan Wugui pulled Lu Mingshu into the water and they submerged inside the pool.

An explosion could be heard, with debris flying around, the bamboo trees were broken and it felt like it could make someone deaf.

Thanks to the water, both of them were shielded better and they came out of the water soon after.

Lu Mingshu spit out some water and grabbed Yan Wugui tightly. “No, this is weird!”

“What?”

As soon as Yan Wugui opened his mouth, he felt strong energy gush up his chest and with that, he vomited blood.

He looked over to Lu Mingshu who was in the same state too.

And everyone that was around him experienced the same thing, even Nie Rufei who was previously so majestic fell down with a thud.

“Expert,an expert made a move!” He heard Lu Mingshu mumbling.

Yan Wugui vomited blood once more, immediately fishing out a pill from his pocket and stuffing it into Lu Mingshu’s mouth.

“Uh….” Lu Mingshu nearly choked on it. With great difficulty, she then swallowed the pill and looked over at Yan Wugui. “What about you…..”

But Yan Wugui had already taken out another pill and stuffed it into his own mouth. Seeing this, Lu Mingshu felt stupid. ~What am I thinking? The scenario of there being only one pill available but I will give it for you only appears in melodramatic love stories.~

Two strong energies flew past mid-air.

The extremely strong forces fighting near-by created strong energy waves. And this was enough for them to be unable to handle. All who were present used their true energy to protect themselves from the strong waves.

Suddenly, a strong force joined in the fight. Two fighting against one, and with a loud explosion, a landslide was created and the ground shook violently. After some time, then suddenly became peaceful.

A calm voice could be heard ringing through the area. “Living in seclusion for a hundred years yet you are only this strong. Such a disappointment.”

“Your majesty, please take some time to worry about yourself! Going into obsession is not a joke and if you don’t recover soon, your title might soon belong to others. Am I right, master Bao Guang?”

“Hmmp!”

Lu Mingshu and Yan Wugui could feel the vibration again, but the other party seemed to not wish to continue the fight.

“Your majesty, you have won this round, but the future is long.” He laughed and snapped his finger.

“Ahhhh!” Nie Rufei let out a blood-curdling scream and flew out.

The emperor could not arrive in time to help Nie Rufei, but he shot out a ray of light to catch her, saving her life.

“Bye.” The other party laughed and strong wind surrounded the area. He then picked up the floating cloud gentleman and Jiang wan before leaving.

Only now did the crowd dared to look up.

But all they could see was a man with a majestic presence with light surrounding him as he landed.

Qin Jun and the rest immediately kneeled down and bowed. “Your majesty.”

The emperor nodded coldly. “You performed well. Rewarded to become a baron.”

The crowd was more than delighted. It was hard to be given one of the five (aristocratic) peerage ranks, and even if the baron was the lowest rank, it was still considered very valuable.

Before the crowd could thank him, the emperor turned around and stared at Lu Mingshu and Yan Wugui angrily. “Alienators, how dare you sneak into the debate!”

He pointed at them and a lighting bolt shot towards the both of them.
