Chapter 1354 - 414: Huangquan City’s New City Lord
Brought upon oneself, such a fine example of bringing it upon oneself.
Hong Mingyue was frozen there, suddenly bursting into laughter, blood tears flowing from her empty eye sockets.
"Ye Lingyue, you’re so ruthless. I, Hong Mingyue, am despicable and shameless. But whose fault is all this? It’s all thanks to you. If not for you and your mother, I would still be the Princess of Daxia, and the Hong Residence would still be intact. You took everything from me, even the person I loved the most was taken by you. I tell you, even if I die, I won’t spare you. I curse you and your man, never to be together, suffering a hundred times more than me!"
Hong Mingyue said it, then suddenly raised her hand and smashed her top of the skull with her palm.
For survival, she could even forsake her dignity.
But she couldn’t live so miserably and ugly.
Her body fell straight to the ground, under the effect of Ice Frost Dew, slowly turning into a pool of bloody pus water.
"Truly, nothing but nonsense coming out of a dog’s mouth, deserves this miserable death."
Guangzi spat upon seeing this.
Ye Lingyue looked at Hong Mingyue’s corpse with a complicated expression.
She and Hong Mingyue were archenemies, but didn’t expect her to come to such a pitiful end.
Hong Mingyue was supposed to be Heavenly Pride, but regrettably, the twisted education of the Hong Residence and her excessively arrogant personality became her greatest burden.
"Father..."
Beside them, Luo Qianche knelt on the ground, looking at the corpse of Luo Qian, silently shedding tears.
"Young City Lord, the death of Luo Qian..." Ye Lingyue approached.
"You don’t need to say it. I know this is not your fault, all of it is my father’s deserving punishment. But the hatred of killing one’s father is irreconcilable; your beast pet killed my father, this I will remember forever. Someday, I, Luo Qianche, will openly seek justice from you."
Luo Qianche wiped away her tears and solemnly issued a challenge to Ye Lingyue.
She also had complex feelings for her father, Luo Qian.
She knew her father was a despicable person, but he was the one who had accompanied her since childhood.
"I’ll be waiting for you."
Ye Lingyue nodded.
"Both of you, with the Shui City Lord dead, the city cannot be without a leader for a day. As for the candidates for the future city lords of Shui City and Huangquan City, we’ve already reached a consensus."
The Wuling City Lord stepped forward, consoling Luo Qianche for a few moments, and also announced that after unanimous agreement among several city lords, they decided to respectively recommend Luo Qianche and Ye Lingyue to become the new city lords of Shui City and Huangquan City.
After this calamity in Shui City, the few city lords, who previously held dissatisfaction towards Ye Lingyue, now had a renewed view of her.
Especially those few major city lords who stood with Luo Qian, their faces red like Bao Gong. If it weren’t for Ye Lingyue and Di Shen’s righteous rescue, it would have been ominous for them.
After that night, the new city lord of Shui City was inaugurated.
Ye Lingyue also smoothly passed the City Lord Meeting this time, officially becoming the city lord of Huangquan City.
But the severely damaged Shui City will require a long time to recover its Primordial Qi.
Ye Lingyue and Di Shen set out to return to Huangquan City.
But at this moment, the Wuling City Lord stopped Di Shen.
As it turned out, the Wuling City Lord wanted Di Shen to temporarily not return to Huangquan City, but instead accompany him to participate in the upcoming Jiu Provinces Hunting.
"Jiu Provinces Hunting?"
Di Shen looked puzzled. He has been in Ancient Nine Provinces for so long, yet it’s the first time he’s hearing about Hunting.
"Hunting means demon hunting, don’t forget, the people of the New Nine Provinces came to the Ancient Nine Provinces to hunt demons. Recently, the activities of the Demon Clan have been frequent. After the incident in Shui City, Jiang Ce has already reported it to the Jiu Provinces Alliance. The alliance places great importance, so they convened the Jiu Provinces Beast early, originally scheduled half a year later, just to teach the Demon Clan a lesson," the Wuling City Lord explained.
The Jiu Provinces Hunting is an event participated by most of the cities in Ancient Nine Provinces, this year’s hunting is about to be held.
This time, Wuling City is led by the Wuling City Lord, with Di Shen and Miss Wuyue selected to represent Wuling City in the competition.
"I’m not interested. I still want to return to Huangquan City with my wife."
Di Shen was expected to accept the invitation to the hunting with great pride, but who knew he would refuse without a thought.
This worried the Wuling City Lord, as Di Shen was his trump card.
"Di Shen, this won’t do. You once promised me, I let you leave Wuling City, but as a condition of exchange, you must cooperate with anything Wuling City requires in the future."
The Wuling City Lord had no choice but to bring up his previous agreement with Di Shen.
Di Shen, cold and decisive, yet he’s someone who keeps his promise.
What’s more, his Fifth Senior Sister is still in Wuling City, the Wuling City Lord doesn’t believe Di Shen would disregard her.
Upon hearing the Wuling City Lord, Di Shen recalled that there indeed was such a thing.
"With me around, don’t worry."
Guangzi’s eyes sparkled, he leaned over.
Finally, there was a legitimate reason to kick this annoying and cunning scumbag away.
"Precisely because you’re here, I worry even more. Also, what are you doing going to Huangquan City?"
Di Shen gnashed his teeth.
Di Shen didn’t doubt Guangzi’s identity, but he disliked a beautiful-looking foreigner hovering around his wife like a fly.
"Isn’t it obvious, naturally Ling Yue invited me. Our Moonlight Troupe is famous across the mainland. Wherever we go, it’s a human crowd, boosting local economy... But, you hillbillies wouldn’t understand economics."
Guangzi’s words were no exaggeration.
His performance captivated all ages and genders. In Shui City, a large number of admirers traveled from afar just to cheer for him.
This was a considerable revenue for local shops.
Ye Lingyue, newly seated as the city lord of Huangquan City, faced a city in ruins, the Moonlight Troupe’s residence would undoubtedly be a boon.
Moreover, Ye Lingyue and Guangzi were very congenial; after several exchanges, Ye Lingyue invited Guangzi to accompany her to Huangquan City.
"Di Shen, since you promised the Old City Lord, do as he says. With Fourth Brother and Senior Sister Wan Yun accompanying, I won’t face any trouble in Huangquan City. Return quickly after you finish your business."
This situation, with the Wuling City Lord’s multiple righteous rescues, Ye Lingyue didn’t want to make things hard for him.
Though not knowing when this separation would end, just thinking about it left both Ye Lingyue and Di Shen feeling uneasy.
Perhaps sensing their reluctance, the Wuling City Lord laughed heartily and said.
"Di Shen, rest assured, you’ll see your wife soon again."
