âHahaha!â
The laughter was so exuberant that, when it burst forth, the entire Divine Veil trembled with it, the golden light flickering, causing everyone to lift their heads in confusion, not understanding what could make this manâlegendary for his cold ruthlessness, extreme ferocity, and disregard for all life as he tore through spatial planesâso delighted?
Yan Yeâs gaze swept over tens of thousands and settled in a corner of the square, where a light screen had appeared. However, compared to the majestic Divine Veil that descended from the heavens, this silver light screen, the size of half a wall, seemed insignificant.
Like a pebble tossed into water, the light screen rippled with wave-like tremors. After a series of quivers, a clear silhouette suddenly became visible. The man was clad in a snow-white robe, with brows as arched as the new moon, and a pair of eyes brimming with wisdom. His nose was well-defined, his lips thin and slightly pursed, and his handsome face had a unique charm, like a lotus flower blossoming above the mud in a pond during July, untainted by the silt.
This man, Beiting Huang blinked, and then he remembered: he had seen him in the Demon Spirit Tomb, at that great battle. This young man rode the light element beast, standing side by side with Princess Ninth Huang. After Princess Ninth Huang was captured by Yan Ye, he took up a bow and arrow against her captor.
He, the prince of the Spirit God Clan from above the 33 Heavens, Ming Xiu!
The man bound by a heaven-sent blood contract marriage to the once Princess Ninth Huang, now Beiting Huang, and also the husband of the great princess Xi Feng from the Western Wilderness.
Ming Xiu, having heard that Yan Ye was to dissolve Beiting Huangâs heaven-sent blood contract, rushed here without even waiting to report to his father, the Nine-Colored Great Sovereign Ming Hong. He had hastily utilized a power left by the Creation God of the Spirit God Clan to project his image here. He couldnât believe that the Demon Queen, his betrothed, had truly been reborn. He also couldnât believe that Yan Ye, that bastard, truly dared to risk celestial punishment to dissolve Beiting Huangâs heaven-sent blood contract.
Ming Xiu had arrived as expected, and Yan Ye wasnât surprised in the least; he had been waiting for this moment. He intended to erase his name from Beiting Huangâs side right in front of Ming Xiu.
However, after ten thousand years, he was still somewhat worried about Beiting Huangâs attitude toward Ming Xiu. After all, ten thousand years ago, before Huang Jiu was taken by Yan Ye, she had always lived among the Spirit God Clan, growing up there until she was over a hundred years old. A hundred years of companionship and daily interactionâYan Ye feared that while Beiting Huangâs heart might harbor feelings for him, she might also retain some affections for Ming Xiu.
Yan Ye didnât greet Ming Xiu; instead, he just held Beiting Huang tightly in his arms, as if afraid that she would leave him!
How could Beiting Huang not understand Yan Yeâs feelings at this moment? She was important to him. Beiting Huang reached up to clasp Yan Yeâs hand. While Ming Xiu was examining him, Beiting Huang was also closely observing Ming Xiu. He watched Ming Xiuâs lips part twice, almost in disbelief, as he called out, âLittle Ninth!â
Beiting Huang smiled sweetly; with that smile, mountains and rivers paled, the sun and moon dimmed, and all who looked upon him, well aware that he was but a youth, seemed to hear the blossoming of flowers, scenting the air as if Celestial Maidens scattered petals from the skies.
âBrother-in-law!â Beiting Huang called out with a smile, âI trust all is well with you!â
With the term âBrother-in-law,â Yan Ye breathed a great sigh of relief. His grip on Beiting Huang relaxed, and she stepped forward slightly. With a smile, she said to Ming Xiu, who was looking at her with eyes shattered by sadness, âIt was supposed to be me and Brother-in-law who had the heaven-sent blood contract marriage. Yet, now itâs my sister and Brother-in-law living in perfect harmony, loving and cherishing each other. If thatâs the case, why did my sister insist on binding us with the heaven-sent blood contract back then?â
