Chapter 683, The reappearance of Jiang Xiaohan
The sweet and charming voice carried a hint of mockery.
This voice was somewhat familiar to Ye Qingyu, but at the same time also incomparably unfamiliar.
A faint beam of sandy yellow light suddenly descended in front of him.
Ten meters away, a slim and slender figure of a woman appeared.
Ye Qingyu flicked his eyes across, frozen in astonishment.
He looked at the woman who appeared suddenly with a look of disbelief.
She was dressed in a fiery red long dress, incomparably gorgeous, and with dense flames flowing around. The style of the long dress was peculiar, revealing her slender shoulders, which were smooth and soft. Her body was extremely perfect, the not too thick dress vaguely outlined her slender and straight legs and slender waist. On her feet were black boots made of animal skin. Her hair was drawn in a tall bun, and her whole body was radiating with a threatening beauty. Her delicate, fair face was crossed with a strange look as she stared at Ye Qingyu with a smile.
It was only then that Ye Qingyu snapped out of his daze.
He breathed a long sigh, and exclaimed in an incredibly surprised tone, “I didn't think that you were still alive.”
A smile bloomed on the woman's face when she heard this. She walked a few steps forward, swaying gently and beautifully, seeming to show her beautiful body, before she said in a sweet and charming voice, “What, don't tell me that brother Qingyu hoped that I am dead?”
“Your family has set up a tombstone for you, your parents thought you have died and are incredibly upset. They have gone to the Snow capital to search for your body.” Ye Qingyu looked at the woman in front of him. Even he himself, at this moment, also did not know what kind of emotions he was feeling. “When I passed Deer City, I saw your tomb.”
“You are right, the former Jiang Xiaohan is dead, and now I have a new life.” The woman sweetly giggled, an indescribably seductive and flirtatious expression on her face, but she paid no attention to what Ye Qingyu had said. With a shrug of her shoulder she said, “Everything is in the past, let it go with the wind, let it become the past.”
This woman, who was very close with Ye Qingyu since childhood, and who could be regarded as his friend, was Jiang Xiaohan who had vanished during the Battle of the Light Palace. Ye Qingyu had seen her tombstone in Deer City and had really thought that she was dead.
It never crossed his mind that he would meet her again in the Nine Serenities Palace of the Desert Brute Race imperial city.
“But your parents are still grieving for you every day. They definitely will be very happy if they know that you are still alive,” Ye Qingyu looked at Jiang Xiaohan who was many times more beautiful than the former Jiang Xiaohan from White Deer Academy and said in a serious voice.
“Since they gave birth to me, grief is what parents should bear,” Jiang Xiaohan said in an indifferent tone, as though she did not care the slightest about her biological parents. “Let them treat it as if I had died and had ended my life in an ordinary way. Is that not better... But brother Qingyu, are you really not curious at all, why I am here?”
Ye Qingyu shook his head, “Not particularly curious. I just feel very regretful.”
“Oh?” Jiang Xiaohan's eyes flickered, “Why does brother Qingyu feel regretful?”
“Because after the Battle of the Light Palace, you have been given the opportunity to live. I hoped that the person who appeared in this Nine Serenities Palace today would not be you.” Ye Qingyu's expression was full of infinite regret. “Is Brute King Shi Potian still alive?”
Jiang Xiaohan was taken aback for a moment, then the charming expression on her face faded, and instantly a cold frosty colour emerged on her face. “So, you found out?”
“I originally didn't notice, but now I know.” Ye Qingyu's complexion was as usual, explaining, “There must be more than three of the awakened Snow Ground Ancient Demons that I have captured, and the number of old sect monsters that have awakened are not only the two that are in the hands of the Snow Ground Demon Race. The Sky Demon ancestor, although he had planned so many things, were all ruined by me. But he has yet to give a reaction. These days, I have been waiting for the counterattack from these demons and monsters, but Heaven Wasteland Domain have always remained calm and peaceful. Although I am confident in my own strength, I don’t think that the old monsters have disappeared because of their fear of me. It is obvious that they are planning an even more elaborate operation, are preparing to launch a thunderous blow. The Desert Brute Race is the last battle of my tour inspection, but today I suddenly received a letter from the Brute King Shi Potian. I found it strange. Even if the Desert Brute Race would eventually choose to surrender to the Snow Empire, they should not be so actively enthusiastic. The content of the letter seemed like they were afraid that I would not be going to the Desert Brute Race imperial court. I knew it was strange at the time, but when I came to the Long Life State, and saw the magnificent hidden underground city, and then faced the Nine Serenities Palace, I realiaed that there was nothing more appropriate for those monsters to do.”
Jiang Xiaohan looked at Ye Qingyu, not knowing what to say for a good while, “You... indeed are as clever as ever, but it is a pity that you walked in.”
Ye Qingyu no longer pursued this issue, and asked, “Desert Brute King Shi Baotian, is he still alive or not?”
“Alive or not, it does it matter.” Jiang Xiaohan smiled. “Do you think you can save him?”
Ye Qingyu, upon seeing this, no longer question further. “Since we were childhood acquaintances, I'll give you a chance. You leave here now and all the things that had happened, I won't pursue any further. Go back to Deer City and reunite with your parents.”
Jiang Xiaohan was surprised for a moment, before an unprecedented anger came over her matched beautiful face. This anger instantly turned into a wild laughter, “Haha, hahaha, my brother Qingyu, you are... Ha, are you kidding me? You are giving me a chance? Giving me what chance?”
The sharp laughter, in the end, sounded a bit like a broken voice.
The expression that she looked at Ye Qingyu with was full of contempt and ridicule, and even tears of laughter overflowed her eyes.
And a powerful force, following the laughter, permeated out from her body, reaching the sixth step of the Heaven Ascension boundary in a flash. The flow of air fluctuated like a raging wave in the Nine Serenities Palace.
It was obvious that over the past year, Jiang Xiaohan's martial arts had improved at an unbelievable speed, and was much stronger than many old martial arts monsters.
“Now tell me, what kind of chance are you going to give me?” She coldly grinned, looking at Ye Qingyu.
“The chance to live.” Ye Qingyu did not have the slightest anger on his face, nor shock from the powerful strength that Jiang Xiaohan had revealed. Instead he asked again with an incomparably calm face. “I did not know you were involved in the Battle of the Light City, and I also do not know what happened to you later, but I still hope that you can turn back. Heaven Wasteland Domain is now very chaotic, why do you have to associate yourself with a group of old monsters who crawled out of the grave and bring chaos to the world?”
But opposite him, the look of contempt and ridicule in Jiang Xiaohan's eyes was clearer and more intense than before.
She suddenly lifted her chin and her slender swan-like neck, and sneered, “Haha, ridiculous. Ye Qingyu, do you really think that because I address you as brother Qingyu, and you can lecture me? Haha, you are still as before, conceited and ridiculous. That’s right, you have been patrolling the world these days, and are as invincible as the God of War, and even the Snow Ground Demon Court and White Mountain Black Waters Brute Race have been pressured to surrender from your strength. Do you think that such a deed has surpass what all others before you have done? Do you think that you are invincible, and those who obey you will thrive and those who oppose you will perish?”
Ye Qingyu shook his head and said, “I had never thought such thoughts.”
“No, that's what you think.” Jiang Xiaohan step by step moved nearer. “You have always felt that I am childish and pathetic, that I should be sorry for what I have done to you, that I should kneel at your feet and weep, and that I should ask for your forgiveness, right? Unfortunately, you’ve had your opportunity, allowing you to move unhindered across Heaven Wasteland, but I also have my destiny, which far surpasses yours, allowing me to detach myself from Heaven Wasteland. The you now, do you know what you are like now?”
Ye Qingyu looked at the berserk woman in front, and gave up the effort to persuade her.
He knew that in such a situation, it would be unhelpful to say more.
Seeing that Ye Qingyu did not speak, Jiang Xiaohan gave a cold sneer and snapped, “Like a frog at the bottom of the well, thinking that you have the whole world, but you actually only have a small piece of sky. You think Heaven Wasteland Domain is very big, but among the great wide world it is like a grain of sand, your efforts and achievements these days, in the eyes of the real important people, are just a joke.”
“The real important people? Ye Qingyu's eyes flashed. “Who are they?”
Before his voice faded.
“Why talk so much to him, chop him up to avenge the three brothers who died in his hands.” another voice sounded, when a tyrannical demonic aura surged.
A Snow Ground Ancient Demon with a goatee beard appeared.
He stood next to Jiang Xiaohan, the pupils of his eyes flickering with a demonic light and his entire body overflowed with murderous spirit.
And at the same time, demonic aura and yuan qi surged.
In the dark void of the Nine Serenities Palace, suddenly more than a dozen of figures fully surrounded Ye Qingyu from top to bottom and from left to right. Each figure was an extreme expert of Heaven Wasteland Domain, with one of the lowest strength being a third step Heaven Ascension boundary expert.
Snow Ground Ancient Demons.
Ancient sect experts.
Every one of them was a monster that crawled out of the grave after being asleep for many years. Now that they had returned to the world, a fierce and fearful light was interwoven within their eyes. Ye Qingyu, the presence who had repeatedly ruined their plans and the obstacle on their road, must be killed.
“No wonder that it is incredibly calm these days.” Ye Qingyu swept his eyes across the experts, “So you really have all gathered together, villains collude together... just to kill me. I’m afraid you still can’t achieve such a task.”
“Death is near and you’re still acting tough.” Jiang Xiaohan coldly grinned. “Everything about you, we have investigated and understand very well. We also know all the cards in your hands very well. Today we have arranged the deadliest killing formation to completely bury you. As long as you die, the Snow Empire will crumble, and that little bitch who you assisted with all your strength will be in a state worse than death.”
