Return of the Phoenix Lady

Liu Hexian waited impatiently, snorting inwardly: This Soul-Snatching Demon is too self-righteous! He actually made me, the dignified Prime Minister of Mu Kingdom, wait for so long! If it weren't for my precious daughter, I would still be here suffering such humiliation!

With a cold face, he picked up the teacup beside him and lifted the lid slightly. The rich tea aroma filled his nose! Good tea! Liu Hexian couldn't help but praise it in his heart. He took a sip and found it slightly bitter and slightly sweet. It must be made from good tea and clear spring water. The fragrance lingered on his teeth and cheeks, leaving him with an endless aftertaste.

Just then, the door opened. Liu Hexian looked up and saw a man wearing a tight black coat and a simple loose black robe. He had a handsome face with sharp edges, three-dimensional facial features, wheat-colored skin, and black hair tied behind his head with a black cloth. Although he had no expression on his face, he still exuded a solemn atmosphere from head to toe. He looked like the ruler of the night.

"Are you the leader of the Soul-Stealing Demon?" Liu Hexian spoke first.

Ying Jue was too lazy to waste time talking to him and asked coldly, "Who to kill?"

Liu Hexian was stunned. He didn't expect him to be so direct. He stopped beating around the bush and said bluntly, "Xinghan! A student from the Five Nations Academy."

A hint of surprise flashed in Ying Jue's eyes. How did the young master offend Liu Hexian again? He couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

“…Do I even need to say this? I’ll pay the money, and you guys can do the work for me, right?” Liu Hexian said somewhat displeasedly.

Under Ying Jue's gaze, Liu Hexian said unwillingly: "He hurt my daughter, and I want him to pay the price!"

After a long while, no one spoke. Liu Hexian looked at the man in black with a puzzled look on his face, looking down in thought, and asked impatiently, "Will you answer it?"

Ying Jue still didn't say anything, and Liu Hexian was even more displeased. Just as he was about to explode, there was a sound from the door: "Knock, knock, knock..."

Mei Ye opened the door with a chuckle, walked to the table and sat down naturally, saying with a smile: "When business comes, we naturally have to accept it!"

Ying Jue looked up at Mei Ye, who gave him a reassuring look.

"Ms. Mei Ye, you..." Liu Hexian said with some confusion, hesitating to speak.

"As you, Prime Minister Liu, have seen, Mei Ye is also a member of the Soul-Stealing Demon, but he does not participate in any fighting. Mei Ye is just a small character who comes up with some small ideas." Mei Ye explained softly.

"I see. I didn't expect that the seemingly weak Mei Ye girl is actually a soul-stealer. What a strange story!"

"Prime Minister Liu is joking." Mei Ye said with a faint smile.

"Okay! These 100 gold coins are a down payment. Once the deal is done, it will be 1000 gold coins. How about it?" Liu Hexian made an offer.

"Haha! Who on earth is this Xinghan? How could he be worth so many gold coins in the eyes of Prime Minister Liu?" Mei Ye pretended to be curious.

"Hmph~ That brat is quite cunning. Although he's not very powerful, he's still a capable character. But why would he choose to mess with my daughter? He's digging his own grave! However, he has the protection of Bai Li, the principal of the Master Academy. He's also quite close to our crown prince. Even the Jin prince is entangled with him, so it might be a bit difficult."

"So that's how it is. Xinghan is really amazing." Mei Ye said with some emotion.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you. By the way, Miss Meiye, this tea is..."

"It's made from Biluochun and cold spring tea. If Prime Minister Liu likes it, Mei Ye will send some to your house one day, okay?" Mei Ye smiled lightly, his slightly narrowed phoenix eyes containing thousands of strategies.

"That's great! I'll be waiting for you. Goodbye!" When Liu Hexian thought about tasting the tea again, he was so happy that he forgot that there was a jealous person in his house. If Mei Ye really went to his house, she would be so angry that she would die.

After Liu Hexian left, Mei Ye's contempt was revealed in his eyes without any concealment. He said to Ying Jue, "I just received a message from the young master. The young master had long expected that he might come to the Soul-stealing Demon to borrow a knife to kill someone, so you just have to agree."

"Are you really going to assassinate the young master?" Ying Jue said with a frown.

"The young master told you to follow the procedure. She has her own arrangements, but she has to wait until the young master comes out of the library." Mei Ye explained lightly.

Ying Jue nodded in understanding and immediately wanted to get up and leave.

"Stop!" Mei Ye gritted his teeth, still sitting at the table, head lowered, muttering, "Why do you keep avoiding me? Don't you really want to see me?"

Ying Jue paused, his hands hidden in his sleeves clenched into fists in pain, and he said nothing.

"Jue, please stop hiding from me, okay?" Mei Ye decided to give up her self-esteem for her own happiness, and said to Ying Jue's back like begging.

"..." Ying Jue said in a low voice, and then walked out of the room that was about to make him lose control without hesitation.

Although it was very quiet, Mei Ye still heard it. "Are you sorry? What's the point of saying sorry? Can saying sorry make me stop loving you?"

The low whimpering sound was like the murmur of a small animal, disappearing in this bustling night.

Tomorrow, she will still be the flamboyant, beautiful, and alluring Mei Ye! So, let her indulge herself once more tonight!

The day to enter the library finally arrived. Han Xing, Ying Chen, Jin Yi Feng, Mu Jue Tian, ​​and Liu Han Yang arrived at the door. While it might be called a library, Han Xing felt it should be called a library tower. Looking up, it was a full twenty to thirty meters tall, looking magnificent and impressive.

"Aoxuan, you're here?" Jin Yifeng walked up to him in a friendly manner and patted the man next to him on the shoulder.

Seeing Jin Yifeng being so proactive, it must be that Huo Aoxuan must have something extraordinary about him. No wonder even a woman as picky as Liu Hanyue would fall for him.

"Come, let me introduce you to my good friend, Xinghan." Jin Yifeng pulled Huo Aoxuan over.

Han Xing took a closer look and found that he was indeed extraordinary, with an evil and handsome face, a charming smile on the corner of his mouth, and gorgeous clothes. Beneath his evil aura, there was also a domineering imperial air, like Satan who came from hell to wreak havoc on the world.

Looking at the graceful woman in white standing not far away, I knew she must be Xue Ling. As her name suggests, she possesses an icy aura, with skin as white and delicate as snow, delicate features, and a flowing chiffon dress. She looks like an ice fairy who has strayed into the human world, untouched by worldly desires. She exudes an aloof, unattainable aura, which is perhaps why she ranks below Liu Hanyue!

"Xinghan, what's wrong? Are you interested in Xueling?" Mu Juetian rarely joked.

"Haha!" Han Xing smiled lightly and said nothing.

"Xing'er, this is Huo Aoxuan, my friend in this academy." Jin Yifeng introduced.

"Well, hello." Han Xing nodded slightly to Huo Aoxuan.

Huo Aoxuan looked at Han Xing's beautiful little face, his unfathomable dark eyes flashing before he smiled and said, "So you are Xing Han. You have been in the academy for a short time, but you have a great reputation."

"Sorry for the embarrassment." Han Xing responded indifferently.

At this time, the Ice Beauty actually took the initiative to step forward, glanced at them, and stopped directly in front of Han Xing, saying, "Xue Ling!"

Han Xing was stunned. What did this beauty want to do? Subconsciously, he said, "Xinghan!"

The Ice Beauty nodded slightly, then stood beside Han Xing, no longer speaking, as if lost in thought.

Several people looked at each other, all of them sighing at Han Xing's boundless charm, even being able to conquer the Ice Beauty. If this scene was seen by other students, it would probably cause an uproar in the whole school!
