Chapter 79: Identity Exposure (First Update)

  The night is getting deeper and deeper.

  The man in black showed a look of astonishment, why was it like this?

  This was completely different from what he had imagined, and unexpectedly, the other party's true appearance turned out to be so stunningly beautiful.

  If it weren't for her deliberately tearing off the other's veil, she would have thought that this woman was intentionally using her beauty to humiliate their own young lady.

  Even he didn't expect that there would be such a seductive and unparalleled woman in the world, with a stunning appearance and an extraordinary beauty.

  Others were shocked and someone couldn't help but ask: "Who is this girl? She's really beautiful."

  Many women curiously looked at the stunning beauty in front of them, occasionally asking the people beside them.

  There were even some women who looked at Xia Xue'er with curious and bold eyes, with a hint of inquiry. After all, Xia Xue'er had always been high and mighty, so it was natural for people to be eager to see her reaction. Sure enough, they saw that Xia Xue'er's expression was extremely shocked, extremely embarrassed, and extremely disbelieving. The smile on her usually confident face seemed somewhat forced.

  A beautiful girl will often notice a woman who is more beautiful than herself first, because she pays attention to these things more than anyone else.

  In the past, Xia Xue'er was called Korea's number one beauty and felt that she indeed had some capital to be proud of, not in vain.

  But the sight of the new wife of the fifth prince made her feel that there are people outside of people and heavens outside of heaven. She saw that the other woman's eyebrows and eyes were delicate, her smile was enchanting, her temperament was bright and beautiful, and her whole person shone with a dazzling light, which was different from Xia Xue'er's pretended dignity. Although the two women had two completely different kinds of beauty, the other woman's charm was more attractive to people's eyes. At this moment, compared with Su Mo, Xia Xue'er's temperament that brought people astonishment became much duller, and even like a starry sky encountering a bright moon suddenly becoming dim.

  "Hmm, who is this beauty? Where did the Fifth Prince find such a beautiful woman?"

  "This girl is indeed a stunning beauty, enchanting and alluring, I never thought that there would be such a ravishing beauty in this world. It's likely that Xia Xue'er's title as the number one beauty in the imperial palace will be impossible to keep." Someone couldn't help but say in a low voice, though without malice, it made Xia Xue'er feel extremely resentful in her heart.

  Su Mo's emotions were incredibly calm in the face of everyone's gaze, with a slight curl at the corner of his lips, charming and smiling, with a hint of subtle charm in his smile.

  Compared to Xia Xue'er's pretended calmness, she was as elegant as a spring breeze by nature.

  But she came before the judge's attendant and raised her eyes, saying leisurely: "When will I get my reward?"

  The eunuch stared blankly at her, dazed for a long time, then murmured to himself for a while, as if deaf and dumb.

  Although eunuchs are not considered complete men, seeing such a beautiful woman also has a few points of love for beauty.

  At this time, the queen could not help but cry out: "Wait... she is actually a demon girl."

  The woman who was standing close by only then noticed the queen's words and curiously asked: "Yao Ji? Which Yao Ji?"

  The queen's eyes narrowed in hatred, gritting her teeth as she said, "She is that very seductress of the Third Prince."

  The demon queen of the Third Prince! The demon queen of the Third Prince!

  These words were like a thunderbolt thrown into the pool, and everyone was shocked. As a result, the water temperature rose, and it gradually boiled.

  At this time, the atmosphere in the hall changed, and everyone looked at each other in dismay. The three princes' demon girl, what's going on?

  After all, about the matter of the demon queen, no one in the state of Qi was unaware, and everyone knew it like the back of their hand.

  Lian Xia Xue's face also sank, her lips slightly parted, and complex emotions flowed out of her eyes.

  It's really out of place from top to bottom, and some people are even in high spirits.

  What's going on before my eyes? The demon queen has appeared, and it's truly shocking, truly stunning, and utterly crazy.

  Among those present, the one who felt most unbelievable was naturally the Third Prince. He looked at Su Mo, but his eyes were dazed for a moment.

  Then he saw a gloomy flash in his black eyes, and all sorts of complicated emotions surged out.

  Her eyes shone like jewels, and her figure was plump and full of a transcendent radiance. Indeed, she was a seductress, and he had never expected to see her again, especially in such a public setting.

  Completely beyond one's expectations.

  He had originally given up on a woman he liked with a heavy heart and even thought he had completely forgotten about her.

  A great man is not bound by petty emotions, he never thought that giving up on the demon queen was wrong.

  After all, in the heart of an ambitious prince, the country's power and influence are always the first priority. Moreover, if one day he becomes the supreme ruler, with three palaces, six courts, and seventy-two concubines, having countless women at his disposal, any kind of extraordinary beauty can be brought into the palace. Only power can bring him even greater benefits. He would never indulge in beauty to the point of losing everything because of a momentary lapse in judgment.

  In his mind, letting the demoness drift to the Isle of Evil and entering the Cold Palace made no difference.

  A woman who has been cast into a cold palace, no matter how beautiful her appearance is, will gradually lose everything in the passage of time.

  His mother, the queen, even took him on a special trip to the Cold Palace, where he witnessed those mad and crazy women who were once beautiful but eventually became white-haired, leaving a deep impression on him.

  He had some resentment, resenting that enchantress for being hot and cold towards him, making him fall into infatuation.

  Men cannot let women have their way, they must control everything about women.

  In short, a man's heart must be ruthless, cold and hard in order to achieve great things.

  Whatever has been used and is of no benefit to oneself should be cast aside.

  These were all things the queen had taught him day by day, and which he had slowly come to realize in his struggles for power.

  The third prince had some small knots in his heart towards the original demon queen, but after the demon queen went to the island of evil people, he met Xia Xue'er again, and as he saw her, he gradually put down completely.

  His queen should be as elegant and refined as Xia Xueer, with a noble demeanor, beautiful appearance, knowledgeable and understanding, bright and moving.

  Not only well-read in poetry and books, proficient in the six arts, but every move and gesture must have the demeanor of a noble lady.

  Also be gentle and considerate, good at understanding people's intentions, with both virtues and talents, a broad mind, and a humble heart.

  Even behind her back, she must have a strong power background to support her, this is what an empress who governs the world should possess.

  In any case, compared with the two women, Xia Xueer had a greater advantage.

  However, a man's mind is always very strange. When the woman he gave up on stands beside another man, he feels somewhat uncomfortable.

  Now, as he carefully examines the demon queen, he sees that her eyes are shining with a dazzling light like morning stars. However, he discovers that she is quite different from the one who has been accompanying him in the past. She has lost some of her evil charm and gained more sincerity, with wisdom bursting forth in her eyes. Her temperament is not inferior to Xia Xue'er's. Moreover, under the gaze of the crowd, she is as calm as a spring breeze, with a faint smile on her face. The bright red dress of the new bride sets off her enchanting face like exquisite porcelain, delicate, fair, and elegant, with a hint of noble elegance and composure amidst her seductive charm.

  Although the enchantress didn't have much use value in his heart, she made him feel refreshed.

  He thought that the demon queen was just a woman who could use her beauty to seduce people, but in front of Wen Renyi, she had the innocence and kindness of a new bride, and even her archery skills made everyone admire her.

  What is this woman hiding from him? The current her is the real her.

  If he said that the enchantress in front of him didn't move his heart again, that would be a lie.

  However, he never expected that when he saw her again, he found that her uniqueness had already become a thing of the past.

  She is no longer the sorrowful woman who was banished to the Isle of Evil by the Empress, nor is she the pitiful and pathetic witch.

  What he could not bear was that the woman who had been doted on in the past had actually become Wen Renyi's woman.

  Although he has abandoned her, she was once his woman after all.

  Only he can abandon women, but women cannot betray him.

  Thinking of this, the Third Prince's face became increasingly unsightly, his eyes deepened, his complexion turned pale, and his fists clenched.

  The eighth prince in the distance couldn't help but laugh with a calculating glint in his eyes, having long discovered that this woman was indeed the demon queen.

  This truth, among all the princes, he was the first to discover it. He couldn't help but gently stroke his chin, thinking to himself that he was indeed wise and powerful, great and extraordinary. Finally, he had waited for this moment, and now it's unknown how the third prince and fifth prince would make a scene, when the time comes, they will be like the snipe and the clam fighting, and the fisherman will reap the benefits. If all else fails, he would go and fan the flames, then watch from the other side of the river.

  He smiled slyly and things are really getting more interesting!

  Su Mo, Wen Ren Yi, and the Third Prince have now become the focus of attention for everyone present.

  No matter when, gossip and scandals are always the focus of attention, even royal nobles can't escape.

  This scene is truly a new love replacing an old one, as the former enchantress transforms into the new wife of the Fifth Prince.

  The Third Prince and the Fifth Prince began their duel for the throne, for beauty, and for power.

  Some people's eyes have already secretly fallen on Su Mo and Xia Xue'er, comparing the strengths and weaknesses of these two women.

  Some people admired the beauty of the former enchantress, who had a city-conquering charm that could captivate men and make them forget about their ambitions. The fifth prince was surprisingly willing to disregard public opinion for her sake. Others, however, thought that Xia Xue'er's background was more important, and that the third prince needed a woman like her as his solid backing. In any case, many people were focusing their attention on the third prince, waiting to see how he would handle the relationship between the two beauties. This enchantress girl had actually managed to marry the fifth prince - her skills were impressive. Was her goal in returning this time to strike back at the person who had wronged her?

  Everyone caught wind and grasped shadows, guessing all sorts of prequels and sequels.

  At this moment, everyone's heart beats faster, excited beyond measure, feeling that they have discovered a great secret.

  Yu Ran let out a soft sigh, her hand grasping the Bone Fan, and she raised her eyes to look at Wen Ren Yi. Her gaze shifted lazily as she said, "See? I knew it would come to this. Soon there will be rumors flying everywhere, and when that happens, your reputation will be ruined. You're really prone to scandals, aren't you? It's no wonder they say that marrying a fox spirit like me brings nothing but trouble!"

  Wen Renyi said coldly: "Rumors and slanders will collapse by themselves, I've never paid attention to them. The clear ones are self-clear, the turbid ones are self-turbid."

  Su Mo was also calm and composed, with a gentle and elegant demeanor, giving off an air of refinement and poise that surpassed even Xia Xue'er's by a margin.

  She calmly said: "I thought that after getting married I could leave, but unexpectedly it's still causing a big commotion."

  "It doesn't matter, since you're here, just make yourself at home. From now on, we'll live a peaceful and stable life."

  Yu Ran fanned herself with a gentle smile, her slender figure and deep eyes gleaming with amusement. "Hear Ye, Hear Ye! Where can one find peace in these tumultuous times? The imperial palace is on the brink of chaos, with stormy weather brewing and swords drawn. Who knows, perhaps my next script will be inspired by this very tale - a legend of a demonic heroine, caught between two princes vying for power, each determined to outdo the other, until they both suffer defeat...the situation is indeed dire..."

  "What's next?" Wen Renyi gave him a cold glance.

  "Really? And then?" Su Mo didn't know what other version he could come up with.

  Yu Ran continued to play with her fan, her thick and dense eyelashes blocking her shiny black eyes. She slightly hooked the corner of her mouth and said, "Then neither of the two princes ended up well, the demon girl married a young master who could write books and dance, and they lived happily ever after together. How's my story, Qingqing?" As she spoke, Yu Ran lightly nudged Su Mo with her shoulder, but was secretly stepped on by Wen Renyi.

  Yu Ran was caught off guard for a moment, and his face suddenly changed color. He secretly thought that Hu Li was shameless.

  Su Mo couldn't help but laugh lightly, and with this one smile, a hundred charms were born. However, in the eyes of the crowd, it was another scene altogether.

  Xia Xue'er's expression was already unnatural, and now that she knew the fifth prince's woman was actually a demon girl, although she wasn't clear about some of the details, the taste in her heart was getting worse and worse. She was originally an unattainable princess in the Xia family, born with stunning beauty, captivating flowers and moonlight, unparalleled elegance, national color and heavenly fragrance, and also very intelligent and wise. Therefore, in the Xia family, everyone had always placed great importance and expectation on her.

  Even after she came to Qi State, whether it was the Empress or the Third Prince, they all had high hopes for her.

  And yet, this abandoned woman, who was clearly exiled to the Isle of Evil Men, suddenly appears here, which is truly beyond comprehension.

  She unexpectedly appeared out of nowhere, and he didn't even take her seriously from the start.

  Xia Xue'er was used to being high above others every day, but she herself had unknowingly committed the mistake of underestimating her opponent.

  This woman was once the enchantress of the Third Prince, and now she is his fiancée. Her appearance makes her feel like a slap in the face.

  She finally took a serious look at this demon girl and had some considerations in her mind.

  No, she must have come prepared.

  Xia Xue'er couldn't help but start daydreaming, feeling that this woman must be targeting her.

  However, the queen had already shouted in a shrill voice, with a sinister glow bursting out of her eyes, stretching out her long jade-encrusted fake fingernails, pointing at Su Mo and saying: "You wicked woman, how did you manage to escape from Evil Island?"

  "Who are you calling cheap?" Su Mo's red lips slightly parted, her enchanting eyes lifted.

  "You are a lowly person." The empress scolded, still not realizing her own mistake.

  Everyone wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, it wasn't until a while later that the empress finally reacted, yet she couldn't utter a word.

  Yu Ran couldn't help but laugh at this conversation, which was exactly what he had written in his book. This woman really used it casually.

  The empress was shocked and the eighth prince, with a hint of schadenfreude in his heart, hastily came out to fan the flames, saying: "I humbly report to Your Majesty, I've heard that Fifth Brother once went to Evil Island and must have secretly taken her away with him afterwards. That's my guess."

  Su Mo swept him a glance with disdain, smiled lightly, and this guess was really interesting.

  It seems that the news of the witch's departure has been kept secret very well, and no one would believe that the witch had left the island of evil people by herself.

  Little did they know, it was actually Wen Renyi who didn't let anyone leak out even half a message about the demon girl's escape.

  He was the commander-in-chief of Donglingwei, and the soldiers there naturally followed his command.

  At this time, Wen Renyi's eyes were cold and icy, and he stepped forward calmly, saying: "That's right, it was when I went to Evil Island to bring out the demon girl. I had heard before that the Third Prince had a peerless demon girl, and after meeting her, I fell in love with her at first sight. How could the Third Prince be so blind as not to cherish her? A woman like her can only be worthy of a man who truly understands her. Since the Third Prince is not worthy of her, let me marry her."

  Su Mo heard Wen Renyi's lie with an unchanged expression, but every word and sentence was defending himself, and he felt a slight move in his heart.

  He kept saying that the third prince was not worthy of her, but in fact, he was saying that he himself was more excellent.

  As soon as Wen Renyi spoke these words, the entire horse racing field fell silent, with a dull and stifling atmosphere.

  Some people secretly thought that Lao Wu had long been eyeing Lao San's woman.

  It's really knowing people and faces but not knowing their hearts. It's indeed impossible to tell from Old Five's cold exterior that he has a passionate heart.

  This behavior is completely inconsistent with his usual cold and indifferent appearance, and it's just for the sake of fame. He ran to Evil Island to find Yao Ji and even married this woman. What kind of persistence is this? Is there a bit of romantic sentiment in it?

  Unfortunately, they didn't know Wen Renyi's real power, otherwise they would have learned from him too.

  Some people also feel that Wen Renyu's words are self-righteous and think he surpasses the three princes in all aspects, isn't this coveting the throne?

  At this moment, the queen was so angry that she trembled all over her body and shouted: "Wen Renyi, you are too presumptuous. Who allowed you to take people away?"

  Wen Renyi's expression remained unchanged, but his entire body exuded a stern and murderous aura. He said coldly, "The demon girl is just an innocent woman. The empress ruthlessly banished her to the island of evil people, presumably abandoning her to fend for herself. Yet I genuinely like her. Your third prince treated her heartlessly, whereas I am sincere. What wrong did I commit by rescuing a woman from water and fire? Besides, as the commander of the Eastern Ling Guards, I have the right to take away a prisoner. Why must the palace interfere?"

  The queen was speechless at once, she had the right to catch people, and the other side also had the right to release people.

  The eighth prince did not expect that Wen Renyi still had some strength, and the power of Dongling Wei was far beyond his imagination. He rolled his eyes and continued to provoke: "Fifth Prince, I have one more thing to say, this demon girl is indeed very good, but Third Brother gave her up for expediency, maybe he will take her away again, how can Fifth Brother casually take his woman away?" The implication was that the third prince had not really given up.

  Two men fighting over one woman is interesting, isn't it?

  However, the third prince gazed at Su Mo, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

  Since he recognized her as the demon girl, his gaze had unknowingly stuck on her, and for a moment, it didn't leave her side.

  His eyes were piercing, the enchantress was sure to notice, yet the other party remained deeply affectionate with Wen Renyao from start to finish, exchanging flirtatious glances, without sparing him a single glance.

  No matter whether the other party is pretending to be weak or not, he felt both angry and humiliated in his heart.

  At first, he gave her up, now although reluctant, but he absolutely cannot show any reluctance.

  At this time, the Eighth Prince heard the words and immediately spoke out to take a stand: "Everyone present, Father Emperor, Mother Empress, all brothers, I was once deceived by a fox spirit for a period of time due to my ignorance. Now that I've returned from my mistakes, I'm already engaged to Xia Xue'er, and I promise not to repeat the same mistake again."

  He then looked at Xia Xue'er with deep affection and said: "Moreover, Miss Snow is noble and gentle, knowledgeable and reasonable, talented and famous, and is the first beauty of Korea, renowned far and wide in the seven countries. The background identity of her alchemy master's family is even more noble, and it is a rare encounter that cannot be sought after. I think that demon girl is beautiful, but she can't be compared with Miss Snow at all, so I don't have any lingering affection for her."

  Hearing these words, the Eighth Prince felt a slight sense of disappointment.

  The queen nodded immediately, feeling that her son was doing things very steadily.

  She continued, "Xia Xuer's identity is extraordinary, and her demeanor is outstanding. As the mother of a country, I find her very likable. Moreover, this woman has both talent and virtue. How can she be compared to those ordinary, seductive women? Who is superior and who is inferior, I think everyone should be able to distinguish clearly."

  Everyone's gaze fell on Xia Xue'er again, and the smile on her face was still a bit stiff. However, upon hearing the Empress Dowager's praise of herself and the Third Prince's words to everyone confessing his love for her, she took a deep breath and immediately regained her composure. After all, she was still young and couldn't be completely at ease, so she first straightened her back and then her expression became calm and composed once again, with an air of tranquility and a hint of a smile.

  She walked forward slowly and said: "Being able to get the praise of the empress and the third prince, this humble woman feels extremely honored. However, the demonic girl's archery skills are now unparalleled, and she is also the new wife of the fifth prince, which is indeed a remarkable thing!"

  She deliberately praised Su Mo, making herself appear unjealous.

  Ordinary women will discredit their opponents in front of everyone, while wise women will praise their opponents in front of everyone.

  The people around her eyes lit up, and they couldn't help but admire her kindness.

  "Hmm, this Xia Xue'er girl is indeed a stunning beauty with a great personality, it's heartbreaking. Emperor Qi's gaze fixed on Xia Xue'er, nodding involuntarily."

  The Third Prince couldn't help but glance at Su Mo, his eyes fixed tightly on her. He felt that the words he had just spoken were not worthy of her attention, and this demoness would surely give him a look. No woman could tolerate being ignored by a man, yet he hadn't expected the demoness to still be standing beside Wen Renyi, their arms lightly entwined. She was chatting with the man beside her, her eyes cast sideways, while even Yu Ran from the Golden Jade Hall was very familiar with her, constantly speaking in front of her and pulling on the demoness's sleeve as if confessing something. The woman didn't even spare him a glance... This woman really made the Third Prince feel indignant.

  Although he is not a narrow-minded person, he has never been ignored by others like this before.

  The eighth prince looked around, yawned with boredom, and felt that it was still not intense enough. He thought to himself that he hadn't even managed to stir up any sparks between the two princes, which was truly a miscalculation.

  He immediately couldn't help but clap his hands and exclaimed loudly: "Wow, Xia Xue'er is really broad-minded. That seductress was just a discarded woman abandoned by Third Brother. How can a discarded woman be compared to the legitimate wife? She can't even compare to one of Xia Xue'er's hairs. Xia Xue'er has always been as pure and clean as ice and jade, unlike some women who are like water and change their affections easily, one day loving Qin and the next day loving Chu. It's a pity that my Third Brother was too deeply trapped by her at first."

  The implication is that Yaoniang has already had an ambiguous relationship with the Third Prince.

  The third prince immediately said: "It's not a bad thing for men to have several women before marriage, as long as they are devoted to their legitimate wife."

  The queen immediately snorted disdainfully and said, "Well, which man didn't have some affairs before marriage? Who didn't have a romantic tryst or two? But Xia Xue'er is like the clouds in the sky, while that seductress is like the muddy ground. The third prince accidentally got mud on his shoes, so he discarded those shoes. Some women are just discarded wives!"

  She not only compared him to mud but also implied he was a broken shoe.

  Hearing this, Xia Xue'er naturally felt very pleased in her heart and gave Su Mo a cold sideways glance.

  She had hoped to see shame on the face of the seductress, to see despair, and even hoped to see her unable to lift her head, but it was not to be. The woman was still smiling coquettishly, as if everything was none of her concern, she was just watching a play.

  Only Wen Renyi's body was icy cold, as if a cold sword had been unsheathed.

  "Right, imperial son, was I wrong?" The empress suddenly asked in a stern voice.

  "The Empress Dowager is right." The Third Prince responded with a single word, his eyes cast downward.

  "Is the mud on your shoes the demon girl? Or is it the abandoned wife?"

  "Yes." The third prince could no longer bear to look at Su Mo, but Su Mo just gave a cold laugh.

  As soon as the words fell, a fierce and murderous aura burst forth from Wen Renyi and Yu Ran. Wen Renyi's eyes flashed with anger, "I thought that after losing some people, you would learn to cherish what you have. After making one mistake, you would know what is right and wrong. But I never expected that the Third Prince would become more and more blind, unable to distinguish between pearls and fish eyes. Not only do you not understand yourself, but you also allow others to slander and frame others. It's destined that you will lose your precious treasure. And as for you, Empress Dowager, I, Wen Renyi, swear here today that one day I will make you know what it means to regret too late."

  The queen and the three princes' faces changed, they had never seen such an imposing Wen Renyi.

  This man's words are always so authoritative! They can't help but be on their guard.

  Yu Ran suddenly let out a "hiss" of laughter, breaking the icy atmosphere. He leisurely fanned himself and said: "Tsk tsk, there are more and more people in this palace with poor eyesight. It's one thing for old ladies to have poor eyesight, but young people are also following suit. However, being blind isn't scary; what's scary is that some people are always blind to the truth. As I see it, some people have lost a watermelon and picked up a sesame seed instead, yet they're still gloating with pride. They've gained something insignificant while losing something significant, and it's truly laughable. It's almost enough to make this prince die from laughter."

  Su Mo said slowly and leisurely, "Whether someone is blind or not has nothing to do with me. As long as my husband says he wants to make you regret it, I believe he will definitely make you regret it, and I won't be polite either."

  Great! Great! War is raging!

  The eighth prince saw that his anger was indeed ignited, but it was the fifth prince who issued a challenge to the third prince. The reputation of these two people is not very influential.

  He immediately said: "Hiss, this demon girl must be insincere, I think she definitely has unfinished feelings for Third Brother Yu?"

  He gave a glance and his trusted followers hidden in the crowd shouted: "Look, the fifth son of the family actually married the third daughter-in-law."

  Someone hidden in the crowd shouted: "That's right, this is a scandal!"

  "Really shameless, really too thick-skinned."

  "Can two people like them inherit the throne? Can they?"

  "Hmph! So I'm supposed to be some kind of beauty, huh? Turns out I'm just the abandoned witch of the Third Prince." The black-clad man immediately spoke up to slander Su Mo, all in order to protect Xia Xue'er's reputation.

  "Eldest brother, you also want the woman that third brother doesn't want? Your taste is really not good!" The eighth prince shouted loudly on the side.

  Zidi didn't like things getting out of hand and coldly said: "Lao Ba, you've had too much to drink."

  The eighth prince hurriedly laughed and said: "Sorry, sorry, it seems that I've had a bit too much to drink!"

  Did he drink too much? He didn't even drink at all, this time let Lao San and Lao Wu both suffer a loss together.

  At this point, he has already stirred up people's emotions, in short, he has achieved part of his goal.

  At this time, the man in black said coldly: "Fifth prince, you are losing face like this. It's better to get rid of that demon girl. Otherwise, where will the dignity of the Qi imperial family be? How can Emperor Qi and Empress Qi see people? After all, your woman is not a good woman at all." Although he was somewhat afraid of Wen Renyu on usual days, in the palace, he was a noble guest, and the other party could not take action against him.

  Suddenly a "ting" sound, a dagger was pressed against his throat!

  Cold and desolate, gloomy and eerie, when did someone pull out a dagger?

  He glanced sideways and saw a snow-white hand holding a dagger against him.

  She was exactly that enchantress, didn't expect the other party to make a move so quickly, completely beyond his expectation, and the surrounding crowd couldn't help but exclaim.

  Even Emperor Qi didn't expect this woman to be so bold, actually taking action against the Xia family, she's gone mad.

  "What do you want to do?" the man in black asked in surprise.

  "Are you a member of the Xia family?" Su Mo asked leisurely.

  "Not bad." The man glanced at her, "Since you know I'm a member of the Xia family, how dare you treat me like this?"

  Su Mo smiled and said: "I just so happen to dislike the people of the Xia family the most, unfortunately one of my brothers just happened to defeat the Xia family's alchemy master."

  The man in black hastily asked: "Who is your brother?"

  Su Mo said faintly: "You will know slowly later, in short, he is also a master of alchemy."

  "Alchemist?" The black-clad man naturally knew of the alchemist's abilities, and a bead of sweat inexplicably trickled down his forehead.

  The woman sneered, "However, you seem to be very dissatisfied with me, constantly pressing and forcing. Just now, it was you who used a sleeve arrow to shoot at the veil on my face. All of this is because of you. I've been looking down on you for a long time, and I had planned to let you off for two days. But you're so annoying and talkative, why don't I just slit your throat?" As she spoke, Su Mo had already drawn a bloody line across his neck.

  "Spare my life, spare my life." The man's face suddenly turned pale.

  Digression

  I still have some writing left unfinished, and I'll post an update once it's done.
