Chapter 163 Reversal! My Lord, It's Time To Rest!
"Greetings, Your Highness, the Crown Prince!"
Gu Jian saw Ji Xiu respectfully bowing.
"Ah-woo!"
Kaka on Bai Xin's shoulder excitedly shouted, then flew to Ji Xiu's shoulder and affectionately rubbed his furry little head against Ji Xiu's cheek.
Ji Xiu gently stroked Kaka's soft little head, and the little guy enjoyed it, tumbling around a bit. Then he pointed to his round belly, indicating to Ji Xiu that he was hungry.
"You, huh!"
Ji Xiu smiled helplessly, then took Bai Xin with Kaka to have a meal.
"I really owe you!"
Bai Xin glared at Ji Xiu, then walked towards the palace with Kaka.
Now, the entire Snow Moon City is under Chu Li's control, so naturally Kaka can get whatever he wants to eat.
"How is Yan Fei?"
Ning Xiyan approached and asked softly.
"There is no Yan Fei in this world anymore!"
Ji Xiu responded briefly.
"You truly are something!"
Ning Xiyan nodded. She knew that this time, Yan Fei couldn't escape.
"Evil scum!!!"
Mo Qingxian looked at Ji Xiu with indignation and angrily rebuked him in a low voice.
Tonight, Ji Xiu killed everyone who opposed him, and the powerful beings from the upper realm were all defeated in Snow Moon City.
Even she fell into Ji Xiu's hands. She didn't know who else in the entire Nine Heavens Continent could stop Ji Xiu.
Hmm?
Ji Xiu raised an eyebrow. He turned his gaze to Mo Qingxian and slowly spoke.
"When you become a captive, you must be prepared to be one!"
"On this matter, this Crown Prince will only tell you once!"
Hmph!
Mo Qingxian snorted coldly.
"Ji Xiu!"
"If you have the ability, then kill me!"
She was the Saint Sect's Saintess, and she was also known as the Nine Heavens Goddess by the world. She had always been high and mighty, with a lofty self-image.
Become a captive? Her pride and arrogance would never allow it!
Clang!
Ji Xiu's eyes flashed with a cold light upon hearing her words. He took a step forward and reached out, fiercely pinching Mo Qingxian's delicate chin.
"Kill you?"
"No! That would be a pity!"
"Perhaps this Crown Prince didn't make it clear to you."
"Now, you, Mo Qingxian, are not only a captive, but also this Crown Prince's possession!"
"In the future, this Crown Prince will do whatever he wants to you. Everything about you belongs to this Crown Prince!"
Impossible!
Mo Qingxian gritted her silver teeth and met Ji Xiu's gaze with her burning eyes, showing no trace of fear.
And the next second.
Ji Xiu suddenly frowned, and he slapped Mo Qingxian's beautiful face with the back of his hand.
Smack!!!
A crisp sound of a slap echoed.
A bright red palm print appeared on Mo Qingxian's exquisite face, adding a touch of stunning beauty.
A trace of blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth, extremely poignant!
"This Crown Prince is different from the Gu family's beloved son who admires you!"
"He might be gentle and considerate towards you!"
"But I won't be!"
Ji Xiu spoke with extreme indifference.
You!!!
Upon hearing this, Mo Qingxian felt annoyed. She wanted to retort against Ji Xiu, but when she saw his extremely cold gaze, she ultimately swallowed her words.
Just then, a melodious voice rang out like a silver bell.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Gu Yao came to Ji Xiu's side and bowed slightly.
"Yao'er!"
Ji Xiu's ice-cold eyes instantly softened upon seeing Gu Yao.
The rapid change made Mo Qingxian itch with anger!
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Mu Bing has left."
"She left a message for you."
Gu Yao said softly.
"What message?"
Ji Xiu asked calmly.
"She said... after seven days, she will be waiting for you in the Chaotic Ancient Abyss!"
Gu Yao spoke with some concern.
"Understood."
Ji Xiu nodded. He had been waiting for this day for a long time. After all, he and Mu Bing had to come to a resolution.
"Can you... defeat her?"
Gu Yao looked at Ji Xiu with trembling eyes and asked.
Hmm!
Ji Xiu reached out and gently rubbed Gu Yao's soft long hair, saying only two words.
"Don't worry!"
Although the Self-Liberating Transformation Art only lasts for one day, Mu Bing's Great Emperor remnant soul has also burned out tonight.
In that case, there is nothing to worry about.
He and Mu Bing... must come to a resolution in the end!
Hmm!
Gu Yao nodded heavily.
She had full confidence in Ji Xiu.
By the way!
As if remembering something, Gu Yao immediately spoke to Ji Xiu.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, go and see Miss Chu Li!"
"Her mood seems low!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Xiu paused for a moment.
There was no need for further explanation. He also knew that Chu Li was probably upset because of Chu Cangxuan.
"This father and daughter!"
"They are both stubborn but soft-hearted people!"
Ji Xiu shook his head and headed towards the Moon Chasing Palace.
.....................
Arriving at the Moon Chasing Palace.
The two Miss Yue and Xue showed a hint of joy in their eyes when they saw Ji Xiu.
Their young lady was not in a good state, and they were very worried.
But now, Ji Xiu had come... and they had nothing to worry about.
After all, both of them knew that what their young lady Chu Li wanted most was the Snow Moon City, and the person she liked the most was Ji Xiu!
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Please go in quickly!"
"If Miss knew you were here, she would definitely be very happy!" Yue Guniang smiled and spoke.
"Mhmm!" Xue Guniang nodded eagerly, like a little chick pecking at rice.
"Good!" Ji Xiu nodded at the two girls, Snow and Moon, and pushed open the door to the Moon Palace.
As soon as he stepped through the palace gate, Ji Xiu saw Chu Li sitting in front of the dressing table, lost in thought. At this moment, Ji Xiu couldn't help but smile and tease, "You've gotten what you wanted! Why aren't you happy?"
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Chu Li suddenly snapped out of her daze. She saw Ji Xiu leaning against the palace gate with a warm smile on his face, and her eyes reddened for a moment. She stood up and hugged Ji Xiu without saying a word, her jade hands wrapped around his neck, and she leaned her head against his chest, gritting her teeth and saying, "Who said I'm not happy? Tonight, I'm extremely happy! Just... a little bit lost."
Mhmm! Ji Xiu nodded, then asked softly, "Is it because of your father?"
Hmph! Chu Li snorted lightly, "Don't mention that old man! He's just spouting nonsense!"
Perhaps... he's not spouting nonsense? Ji Xiu suddenly spoke up.
"What do you mean?" Chu Li raised her head, her beautiful eyes staring blankly at Ji Xiu.
At Ji Xiu's words, there was a moment of silence, and then he handed a scroll to Chu Li.
Open the scroll. Chu Li clearly saw a familiar line of characters written on it.
"[Li'er has failed.]"
"[If Ji Xiu has feelings for Li'er!]"
"[Please make sure to come to Snow Moon City within three days.]"
"[Signed: Chu Cangxuan.]"
"How... how is this possible?" Chu Li's red lips opened slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.
All along, she thought it was Snow and Moon who sent the distress signal to Ji Xiu. How did it become her father, Chu Cangxuan?
"Snow and Moon did indeed send the scroll to me," Ji Xiu said, "but in reality, it was intercepted by the subordinates of Nan Gongqin, the Youming Elders. If your father hadn't informed me of your situation in time, how could I have rushed to Snow Moon City so quickly?"
Ji Xiu rubbed Chu Li's hair.
Chu Li's web of schemes was indeed formidable, but it was not limited to Snow Moon City. It was completely impossible for Snow and Moon to send a message out of Snow Moon City during the dangerous period after Chu Li killed Chu Chen. After all, Nan Gongqin had a great influence in Snow Moon City.
"So... your killing of the Youming Elders that night, he knew about it too?" Chu Li continued to ask.
"Of course he knew!" Ji Xiu smiled and nodded.
Even Yan Fei knew about Ji Xiu killing the Youming Elders. How could a peak Veiled Divinity expert, a figure who had dominated Snow Moon City for so many years, not know?
"What about Nan Gongqin and Ye Changsheng?" Chu Li's throat rolled.
"He knew too!" Ji Xiu told Chu Li the truth.
"And he knew right away!" Ji Xiu revealed the truth to Chu Li.
Chu Li saw through the deception of Chu Cangxuan during the Snow Moon Ceremony.
"That means... he was pretending during the Snow Moon Ceremony?" Chu Li felt her head spinning.
"You could say that," Ji Xiu shrugged. He had to admit that Chu Cangxuan played the role of a husband betrayed by his wife very convincingly.
"Why did he do this?" Chu Li bit her red lips and asked softly.
Most likely, he wanted Snow Moon City to break free from the control of the Nan Gong family," Ji Xiu said. "For your father... the inheritance of Snow Moon City is indeed the most important thing. And you... have always been his first successor. Whether or not you kill Chu Chen is his final test for you. If you kill your elder brother, then he will take over behind the scenes. As for me... I just need to do what I need to do."
Ji Xiu took a deep breath.
He still admired Chu Cangxuan.
This Snow Moon upheaval wouldn't have gone so smoothly without his cooperation.
"Old fox!!!" Chu Li gritted her teeth and cursed angrily.
After saying that, she wanted to go find Chu Cangxuan and confront him. Even if the old man had a plan, he couldn't keep it from her!
But at this moment, Ji Xiu grabbed Chu Li's wrist and pulled her into his embrace.
"What... what do you want?" Chu Li looked at Ji Xiu with a blush on her pretty face, a hint of redness in her beautiful eyes.
"My Lord... it's getting late," Ji Xiu smiled and spoke.
"So what?" Chu Li's lips curved into a playful arc.
"Cough cough cough! It's time to rest..." Ji Xiu coughed lightly three times as a gentle reminder.
"Enemy!" Chu Li glared at Ji Xiu, her beautiful eyes filled with affection. She once again wrapped her hands around Ji Xiu's neck and kissed him.
The evening breeze was pleasant, and the moonlight was bright.
The two embraced each other and shared a sweet kiss.
In the Moon Palace, the moonlight gradually faded, and the temperature gradually rose.
"Ji Xiu?"
"Mhmm?"
"There's a taste of blood in your mouth!"
"Is that so?"
"Yes."
"Whose blood?"
"Hers!"
