108: Chapter 107 Xiao Xun’er’s Departure[ The Mature Xiao Yi Xian ]

Having grown to a Seven-Star Dou Zong, Xiao Yi Xian could be considered a powerhouse throughout the entire Northwest Continent, let alone in the Izumo Empire. It was not just her strength that had grown, but also her figure and appearance.

The Xiao Yi Xian of today was no longer the woman who could be held in one hand. Her figure was tall, with curves in all the right places, and her face had become more mature, having completely shed the callowness of the past. Her entire being exuded a heroic spirit at every moment.

To others, such a stunningly beautiful Xiao Yi Xian might have appeared incredibly lovely, but to the few kneeling below, the woman before them was simply a devil. They trembled all over, their foreheads pressed tightly against the ground, not daring to lift their heads to look at Xiao Yi Xian in the slightest.

”Heh, you dog emperor, do you have anything left to say now?”

Xiao Yi Xian’s mature and sexy voice rang out in the great hall. Her eyes were filled with hatred for the dog emperor before her; it was all because of him that her body now contained a large amount of residual poison.

She no longer knew how to face her lover, Chen Yang. She only hoped that when Chen Yang saw her head of white hair, he would be able to forgive her.

”My lord, I beg you to spare my dog life. I can be your dog, I can manage the Izumo Empire for you, I can...”

The dog emperor stammered hurriedly. He did not want to die; he had not yet properly enjoyed the prosperity of the world. He did not want to die. Before he could finish speaking, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Xiao Yi Xian.

Xiao Yi Xian remained expressionless, her gaze cold, and her voice filled with killing intent: ”Someone, come here!”

”Clack, clack.”

Upon hearing Xiao Yi Xian’s voice, footsteps immediately rang out outside the great hall. Several soldiers wearing armor strode in. Seeing Xiao Yi Xian on the throne, they knelt on one knee, placed their left hands on their chests, and shouted respectfully.

”Greetings, my lord!”

”May I ask, my lord, what are your orders?”

Xiao Yi Xian looked at the armored soldiers and said coldly: ”Drag them out and behead them all in the street!”

”Then hang their heads on the city walls to be exposed to the sun; no one is allowed to collect their corpses!”

But even with such an outcome, it was still not enough to make Xiao Yi Xian let go of her hatred for this dog emperor. If not for the fact that Xiao Yi Xian lacked the means to extract souls, she would have certainly pulled their souls out and tortured them for three days and three nights.

Hearing Xiao Yi Xian’s cold and ruthless voice, the few people kneeling below instantly lost their strength, collapsing onto the ground, staring blankly at Xiao Yi Xian on the throne.

Several armored soldiers immediately stepped forward, pinned the few men down, and began dragging them out.

”Don’t kill me, my lord, I am still useful, don’t kill me.”

The dog emperor’s face was full of fear as he desperately tried to break free from the soldiers’ grip. However, having had his Dou Qi crippled, how could he be a match for several Great Dou Masters? He could only be obediently dragged out.

The sounds of pleading grew fainter and fainter, slowly disappearing from Xiao Yi Xian’s ears. Xiao Yi Xian sat blankly above, looking at the empty great hall, an unidentifiable emotion flashing in her eyes.

”Chen Yang, why haven’t you come to find me yet? Sigh...”

The lonely Xiao Yi Xian silently let out a longing sigh. She missed Chen Yang so much, wanted so much to go find him, and wanted so much to return to that mountain valley where they had first lived.

”Chen Yang, I have never been any Heavenly Poison Girl; I am just your Xiao Yi Xian!”

The matters in the Izumo Empire had ended. Xiao Yi Xian had already set foot on the journey back to the small mountain valley where the two of them had once lived together. She wanted to go there and wait for Chen Yang; she believed that Chen Yang would definitely come to find her.

”...”

Jia Nan Academy, in Xiao Yan’s room.

Xiao Xun Er held the letter left behind by Yao Lao in her hand, reading it word by word. A smile appeared on Xiao Xun Er’s cheek.

”Brother Xiao Yan, you have finally headed to the Central Plains. You must become stronger. Xun’er will wait for you in the Ancient Clan.”

Gu Xun’er held the letter in both hands against her slightly protruding chest, smiling sweetly.

”Hu... it seems it is time for me to return to the clan.”

Gu Xun’er murmured slowly. If she were to stay at Jia Nan Academy, it would severely drag down her cultivation speed. She needed to borrow the resources within the clan to grow quickly, and then she would be able to meet Brother Xiao Yan in the Central Plains.

”Old Ling!”

Gu Xun’er put away her smile and called out with a calm expression. A shadow suddenly appeared behind Gu Xun’er, and from within the shadow, a strange man wearing a black robe and a mask slowly emerged.

This man was Ling Ying, the guardian sent to Gu Xun’er by the Ancient Clan. Although his combat strength might not be very strong, his stealth skills were extremely impressive. In this academy, which had two Dou Zuns and several Dou Zongs, he, a peak Dou Huang, had been able to lurk in the Inner Academy for a long time without being discovered, which was enough to demonstrate the strength of his stealth.

Ling Ying knelt on one knee, lowered his head, and said respectfully: ”Miss, what are your orders?”

”Old Ling, notify the clan immediately; I want to return to the clan!” Gu Xun’er turned around and said calmly to Ling Ying.

Ling Ying also replied respectfully and immediately: ”Yes, Miss. I will notify the clan right away and arrange for people to come and pick you up to return to the clan.”

Gu Xun’er nodded to agree with Ling Ying’s request, and Ling Ying once again went into hiding. Although this place could not compare to the Ancient Clan, he still had to be careful.

In the blink of an eye, several days passed.

[ Gu Xun’er ]

Gu Xun’er was dressed in green robes, her hair tied high into a high ponytail. Her face had light makeup, her hands were folded over her lower abdomen, and her slender, snow-white legs wore a pair of green high heels as she stood on a cliff, lifting her beautiful eyes to gaze into the distance.

Ling Ying stood quietly behind Gu Xun’er with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance together with her, as if waiting for someone.

”Old Ling, how much longer until they arrive?”

Xiao Xun Er looked into the distance for a long time without seeing any figures appear. She frowned slightly and asked with an unhappy expression.

It was agreed that they would come to pick her up today, yet now the sky was about to turn completely dark, and the people coming to pick her up had still not arrived. Did they not know she was returning to the clan?

Hearing this, Ling Ying immediately knelt on one knee and said respectfully: ”Miss, I do not know what is going on either. Deputy Commander Ling Quan did indeed say he would come to pick you up to return to the clan today; perhaps they encountered something that delayed them.”

Just on a mountain peak not far from Gu Xun’er, Chen Yang sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at the few people honestly kneeling on the ground before him, and said calmly: ”You just said your name is Ling Quan, right?”

Ling Quan knelt on the ground on both knees with a look of humiliation, his hands tightly bound behind his back by a circle of golden light. His eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Chen Yang, but when faced with Chen Yang’s question, he still answered honestly.

”Yes, I am Ling Quan, Deputy Commander of the Ancient Clan’s Black Annihilation Army. May I ask, Excellency, if you could give my Ancient Clan some face and release me?”

Originally, today was a good day. The eldest miss of their Ancient Clan was to return to the clan today, and the heavy responsibility of picking up the eldest miss to return to the clan had fallen upon him. As the Deputy Commander of the Black Annihilation Army, he had naturally accepted this mission without hesitation, but he had not expected that this trip would leave an indelible figure in his heart.
