Chapter 272 Greedy People
Princess Qianyang panted. What she least wanted to see was Yun Shimo and Hua Qiyue making peace and living together happily. So she tried everything to break their peaceful life.
“Although Zhu Jian was not able to kill Yun Shimo. There must be someone powerful than Zhu Jian, there must be someone powerful than Yun Shimo too.”
“Once they know that the Purple Primordial Chaos Bead is in Yun Shimo’s hands, they will reoccur and grab Yun Shimo’s Purple Primordial Chaos Bead madly!”
“After all, a bead like that is powerful than a divine weapon. It can increase people’s strength by hundreds of times, build themselves up, and prolong their lives.”
“Qi Artists’ average life span is 150 years. With the Purple Primordial Chaos Bead, they could live to 250 years old or even longer than that!”
“Once the news is diffused, Yun Shimo will get into trouble and he no longer has time to hang out with Hua Qiyue intimately.” Princess Qianyang thought.
When thinking about this, Princess Qianyang was full of joy.
“Haha, he has the Purple Primordial Chaos Bead in his body. Otherwise, how could a Qi Artist at the first level of Round Sun suddenly progress to the top of the first level of Holy God? Everybody, Kill Yun Shimo. Then you could get the Purple Primordial Chaos Bead,” Princess Qianyang said.
She laughed and her voice was full of temptation. All the people looked at Yun Shimo with a different expression.
Hua Qiyue and the others’ faces changed slightly. They did not expect that Princess Qianyang revealed the secret in front of the people. “Yun Shimo will certainly be attacked by some old monsters afterward!” they thought.
Hua Qiyue was confident that if she joined hands with Yun Shimo, those old monsters wouldn’t match them.
Even if Yun Shimo and Hua Qiyue could not win, they could flee away by drawing rune of Transmission Array. They did not need to dread that. However, presumably, they could not live a peaceful life anymore.
“Daredevils, come on!” Yun Shimo said while glancing at them flatly. His piercing eyes deterred these people from attacking him.
After all, Yun Shimo mutilated Zhu Jian with one blow. They were no match for Zhu Jian, let alone Yun Shimo.
“Haha, Princess Qianyang went too far in saying that. No matter what Prince Nan owns, we dare not covet! It was not until then did I realize that you are the famous Prince Nan. I apologize for that!”
The Crown Prince Duanmu Jing said while walking forward and saluting with joined hands.
Yun Shimo nodded softly without further greetings.
The Crown Prince sighed softly from his heart, “When people are in high positions, they won’t care for fame and wealth. Yun Shimo doesn’t need these.”
“Crown Prince, you are too polite,” Yun Shimo said flatly while looking at Crown Prince’s smiling face, “Now that it’s all over, we’ll leave.”
Zhu Jian was trampled even worse by the public and he could not move a bit. Luckily, these two maidservants knew a little about Qi Art. They helped Zhu Jian up and left this place awkwardly.
“Your Highness, please stay.” the Crown Prince said hastily fearing that Yun Shimo and the others would leave. He smiled towards Hua Qiyue and said hospitably, “Lady Hua, your Highness, how about coming to the royal palace and appreciate the flowers? Now the winter jasmine and nine-petaled flowers are in full bloom. Besides, the wine and dishes there are very delicious. Are you willing to come?”
Crown Prince’s hospitality towards them made the other people give envious look.
“Alright, we’ll arrive at the royal palace between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m.,” Hua Qiyue said while smiling lightly. She accepted the invitation of the Crown Prince without asking Yun Shimo’s opinion.
Yun Shimo became sullen. The Crown Prince laughed constantly and said, “Lady Hua is really straightforward. We’ll prepare meals for you in the royal palace. I look forward to your coming!”
Duanmu Jing smiled towards them and saluted with joined hands. After greetings, Long Shen came forward and shiveringly handed a token to Hua Qiyue. That was the Supreme Token of the auction house. With this token, the auction house would only charge you 1% commission when auctioning off goods!
Moreover, the resources in the house were for free such as meals and accommodation.
Hua Qiyue knew what Long Shen meant. After expressing her thanks, she left with the others.
After exiting the city, the hare chuckled, “Lad, I didn’t expect you could destroy Zhu Jian with one blow. Besides, you ought to be careful with Princess Qianyang.”
Although Princess Qianyang was no longer that powerful, she was full of calculation.
Hua Qiyue stopped and looked back to Princess Qianyang who was staring at her coldly.
In spite of the fact that Princess Qianyang was Zhu Jian’s maidservant, the public dared not make difficulties for her when realizing that she was related to Yun Shimo and the others.
“Shimo, how about bringing Princess Qianyang back. After all, she is a delicate woman…” Hua Qiyue said and raised her eyebrows. Although Princess Qianyang had thought about killing Tianci, she did not do it at last.
At least, before hearing the truth, she would not act brutally like Hongyi. Besides, it was Yun Shimo’s exploitation that drove her mad.
All in all, they were the ones that should feel sorry for Princess Qianyang.
Once they left the Xuanyuan City, someone would certainly track her down. Besides, she might suffer numerous humiliations.
“Qiyue?” Yun Shimo said surprisingly. He did not expect that Hua Qiyue did not care about what happened between Princess Qianyang and him.
“Sister Qiyue, are you silly? That woman ever wanted to kill Tianci and she also tried to take Brother Yun away from you!” Ji Jing said surprisingly. Then she tugged Hua Qiyue’s hands and said, “You are not mad, aren’t you?”
Hua Qiyue shook her heads and said, “She became like this because of us.”
Hearing that, they all became silent. They did not deny what they had done.
“Fine. I’ll take her back to Changjing Kingdom. I have my own ways to let her forget everything,” Yun Shimo said softly. Then he walked back to Princess Qianyang.
Many people were looking at this scene. Even the Third Prince who followed the Crown Prince out stared at Princess Qianyang and Yun Shimo in curiosity.
Now, they all looked up to Yun Shimo. The Third Prince did not recklessly despise Hua Qiyue and the others anymore.
“Qianyang, come back with me. Don’t you want to get back to your parents?” Yun Shimo said in low voice. Princess Qianyang looked at him hatefully. Her face was full of depression.
She loved and hated the man. She had been tolerating this for nearly a year, finally, she came through this sturdily.
Actually, Yun Shimo had noticed that she stole Madame Yun’s cooked meals. However, Yun Shimo was reluctant to drive her into desperation.
Princess Qianyang stared at his handsome face. For many times, she condescended and even lost her dignity in order to ingratiate herself with him. However, in return, he took advantage of her.
How much love, how much hatred!
“Oh, come back with you? Yun Shimo, I’m your married wife! Will I come back with you as your legal wife?” Princess Qianyang said. Then she giggled and made eyes at him, which made people around start to wonder about their relationship.
Hua Qiyue stood still. Tianci was impatient and tugged Hua Qiyue away.
“Mom, let’s buy the beancurd jelly over there. I haven’t eaten that for a long time. Mom…” Foodie Tianci said while dragging Hua Qiyue away.
Although it was spring, the Xuanyuan City had everything to sell.
Yun Shimo frowned. Judging by Princess Qianyang’s reaction, she would not comply with him.
“Qianyang, we are sorry for you. But we have our own difficulties…” Yun Shimo said.
“Difficulties… Hahaha… You could die for that woman. But you trampled on my sincere heart again and over again. What did you take me for? Going with you? Pah!” Princess Qianyang said emotionally.
Yun Shimo did not want to waste time on her. He well understood that his selfishness had hurt Princess Qianyang deeply.
Yun Shimo moved quickly to the back of Princess Qianyang. With his agile hand gesture, he hit at Princess Qianyang’ acupoints.
Princess Qianyang fell down limply. Yun Shimo held his arms around her and expressionlessly glanced at Hua Qiyue and Tianci not afar.
The lass and the little boy were joyful. In spite of the fact that they had been full before entering the city, they were eating the beancurd jelly which was famous in the Xuanyuan City.
Yun Shimo pulled a long face. He thought that Hua Qiyue was heartless who did not care about him at all.
Ji Feng walked over and asked, “Brother Yun, are you planning to take her back to the inn?”
“Yes, you can stroll along here. I’ll refine some medicine pellets for her. She won’t act like this anymore,” Yun Shimo said flatly.
Ji Feng and Bai Qianxue looked at his back and narrowed their eyes. Then they followed up to Hua Qiyue.
“Mom, the beancurd jelly is very delicious… Oh, my tummy is so full that it can explode!” Tianci clamored while eating.
The corner of his mouth was stained with a little of the beancurd jelly.
Hua Qiyue tenderly extended her forefinger and wiped the white stuff. She said, “Stop eating. You will become as fat as a little pig, if you go on eating like this.”
Tianci pouted and said reluctantly, “Alright… I’ll only finish this.”
His chubby face flushed, which seemed cute and adorable under the warm sunshine of spring.
Hua Qiyue put down her bowl. She was also too full and planned to stroll with Tianci to digest food.
“There are some famous sweet and sour snacks over there in the Xuanyuan City. Why don’t you have a taste?” Unworldly Bai Qianxue said while smiling. Then he pointed at the snack stalls not far away.
Tianci’s eyes were wide open. He stared at Hua Qiyue with big eyes and said, “Mom, why not eat something sour to help digest?”
Hua Qiyue shook her heads and tugged foodie Tianci away. “If he went on eating like this, his stomach would explode into two stomachs!” Hua Qiyue thought.
Bai Qianxue with long silver hair was in white rob, and that appealed to the people. Certainly, Hua Qiyue who just exited from the auction house attracted everybody, since she was so beautiful. Besides, many Qi Artists had a huge crush on her secretly.
As for Yun Shimo, after getting back to the inn, he noticed that someone was tracking him. He sneered coldly.
“Of course, these people were here for the Purple Primordial Chaos Bead,” Yun Shimo thought.
Princess Qianyang only knew that Yun Shimo had taken away the Purple Primordial Chaos Bead from her, but she did not know that Yun Shimo gave that bead to Tianci.
Outside the room, two stealthy guys were eavesdropping what happened inside the room. They looked at each other, stepped back a few steps, and discussed in whispers.
