The Emperor's Domineering Favor, the Evil Consort's Unparalleled Reign

Ying Li's expression changed. This kind of power was actually at the level of a seventh-stage Divine Cultivator! It was comparable to the brocade-clad girl from the pawnshop in Linshui City. If it were to strike him, he would either die or be crippled.

Yin Huan's expression remained unchanged as he nimbly darted off the bed with Ying Li in his arms, easily dodging the woman's attack.

With a loud "crack!", the bed, which had been perfectly intact just moments before, was now nothing but a pile of wood chips. It seemed the woman was enraged to the point of no return; she had truly gone all out. Could it be that Yin Huan and this woman had some kind of relationship? Otherwise, why would one be running away while the other chased, leaving him with the stigma of being a mistress?

"Yin Huan, what have I, Ling Xiaoxiao, done wrong to deserve this? How could you treat me like this? Now you're having an affair with this woman! How could you do this to me?!" The woman named Ling Xiaoxiao's face was filled with grievance and sorrow, her proud chest heaving. Even Ying Li was somewhat stunned. But Yin Huan remained calm and composed, tightly embracing Ying Li and saying to the woman, "I told Miss Ling long ago that I already have someone I love, but Miss Ling still persisted. Miss Ling is not good enough in any way, so I don't like her. Are you satisfied now, Miss Ling?!"

Ying Li's expression changed. This Yin Huan was playing by his own rules. Other young masters would usually reject a woman with the excuse, "Miss, you are wonderful in every way, but I am too uncouth to appreciate you..." But Yin Huan was speaking the absolute truth. However, Ling Xiaoxiao's next actions made Ying Li realize that the usual approach wouldn't work on this kind of persistent woman.

Ling Xiaoxiao's pretty face turned cold, and her eyes glanced coldly at Ying Li in Yin Huan's arms. The spiritual power in her hands kept rising, and the swords in her palms were filled with a chilling power.

"In that case, I will kill this girl. That way, your beloved will be dead, and you can naturally elope with me!" Ling Xiaoxiao suddenly shouted, her figure flashing as she struck Ying Li's heart in Yin Huan's arms!

But Yin Huan wouldn't give her a chance. With a flash of light, Yin Huan had already taken Ying Li behind Ling Xiaoxiao. With a sudden strike of her left hand, she struck Ling Xiaoxiao's back. With a "pfft!" sound, a mouthful of blood spurted from Ling Xiaoxiao's mouth, and she collapsed to the ground, as if she had suffered a great blow and could no longer move.

"How could you hit me for that bitch? I am a princess of the Lingwang Mansion of the Mu Dynasty. With such a noble status, there are few people in the entire Spirit Domain Continent who would dare to treat me like this! Whoever I take a fancy to would have to kneel down and thank me for my kindness. But you, you are just a disciple of the Lingwang Mansion, and you actually hit me for that bitch in your arms?! Yin Huan, you will regret this. I will definitely slaughter your family. Let's see if you will still reject me for this woman then!"

Ling Xiaoxiao said fiercely. She knew she couldn't do anything to this woman today, but even if she could escape the first day, she couldn't escape the fifteenth. When Yin Huan was gone, she would definitely strangle that woman to death with her own hands!

After speaking, Ling Xiaoxiao smiled, a smile that revealed a chilling aura. She gave Ying Li a deep look, then her figure flashed and disappeared before their eyes. If it weren't for the wood chips still flying around the bed, Ying Li would have thought that the woman had never been there. After all, experts at the Divine Cultivation level always come and go without a trace.

Seeing Ling Xiaoxiao leave, Yin Huan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Ying Li, who was lying motionless in her arms, and then at the red stain on Ying Li's skirt, Yin Huan's expression changed. She carried Ying Li to another room, found a clean set of clothes, and then said, "I was very rude just now."

Ying Li glanced at Yin Huan's slightly flushed face, then looked at her own skirt. There were many bloodstains on the back of the skirt. Could it be that taking too much of the Spirit Gathering Pill would have a backlash? However, Ying Li did not feel any discomfort. On the contrary, she felt refreshed.

"Ah Li, you've started your period..." Yin Huan said awkwardly, seeing Ying Li's confused expression. It was understandable that Ying Li didn't know; she was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and such things weren't taught at home, so naturally she wouldn't understand. Ying Li was suddenly stunned by Yin Huan's words. She had started her period? What was that?

Recalling how Yin Huan had kissed and hugged her under the quilt earlier, Ying Li's expression changed, and she looked somewhat flustered. She also looked at Yin Huan with a hint of anger. Although he had saved her life, he shouldn't have ruined her innocence. If this continued, Ying Li would probably never be able to marry anyone else in her life.

Yin Huan watched as Ying Li's expression changed repeatedly, shifting between anger, fear, shyness, helplessness, and pain. She couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about? If you feel embarrassed, I'll leave now. You should rest well, and I'll come back later."

Ying Li's face paled. Hearing that Yin Huan was about to leave, she quickly grabbed the other's arm and asked cautiously, "Will I... be pregnant?"

Hearing Ying Li say this, Yin Huan finally understood why Ying Li had that expression earlier. She said with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "Don't worry, it's nothing. You're just getting your period. It'll be fine in a few days."

After saying that, he explained it to Ying Li in detail, and only then did Ying Li feel relieved.

After a while, Ying Li changed into her clothes and came out. Yin Huan also changed into a pure white dress. The moment the two looked at each other, Yin Huan blushed and turned her head away first.

"Don't worry, Ling Xiaoxiao shouldn't come again."

"Ah."

"She is a princess from a small royal family in the Mu Dynasty, and also a disciple of Bixia Palace. Due to some unavoidable circumstances, she has been following me."

"Ah."

"I used you to drive Ling Xiaoxiao away just now, are you angry with me?"

"No, you saved my life, that's enough to repay you with your body."

"You're so generous."

"Ah."

In a secluded mountain villa in Huai'an Kingdom, a young boy and girl were talking about something. The boy was handsome and the girl was beautiful and gentle, making for a heartwarming scene.

The scene shifts, and not far away, Yuan Zhongxue and several experts at the Divine Cultivation stage are lying in ambush. Watching Ying Li and Yin Huan chatting happily, and remembering the death of her younger brother Yuan Zhongyue, she is filled with hatred and wishes she could skin Ying Li alive and make her wish she were dead! But the young man actually killed Gao Han and the others with a single blow. Just now, the princess of the Lingwang Mansion was also at the manor, and they were afraid of something going wrong, so they did not dare to make a move.

"Why is the princess here too? In that case, we really can't do anything to Ying Li? Are we just going to let this go like this?" A man with sharp eyebrows stood behind Yuan Zhongxue and looked at her, who was dressed in black and whose exquisite figure was completely covered up. A hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes.

He was a mid-level disciple of Bixia Palace, and because he admired Yuan Zhongxue, he worked for her for many years.

Yuan Zhongxue turned to look at Long Aotian, a strange look in her eyes. She had also seen Ling Xiaoxiao go into the manor and come out again quite some time later. Could it be that Yin Huan had some connection with Ling Xiaoxiao? Although their Yuan family was powerful, they were still somewhat lacking in resources compared to the royal family of the Mu Dynasty. Therefore, a long time ago, in order to consolidate their strength, the Yuan family sided with the Ling royal family, hoping to expand their power to a greater extent through the royal family's protection. Ling Xiaoxiao was naturally their beloved princess. If they injured her in this operation, it would probably have an impact on the entire Yuan family.

"Of course we can't let it go like this! Young Master died so pitifully, all because of that Ying Li. If we don't tear that Ying Li to pieces, how can we ease Miss's grief over losing her loved one? The Princess has already left, so let's wait a little longer. I don't believe that so many of us can't do anything to Yin Huan, who just passed the intermediate disciple assessment!"

"That's right! Miss, just wait here. In another hour, we'll storm in and bring Yin Huan to you. You can decide what to do with them!"

"Miss is now a middle-level disciple elder in Bixia Palace. If it is inconvenient for Miss to take action, we will certainly do our utmost!"

Yuan Zhongxue smiled with relief. She naturally believed in these people's abilities, but she was still somewhat worried. If Ling Xiaoxiao really had some kind of relationship with Yin Huan, she really wouldn't dare to take action. "Yin Huan must be kept alive. As for Ying Li, kill her if you can. I don't want her to live for even a second longer! And the Ying family of Ye Lingcheng, kill them all!"

A cold glint appeared at the corner of Yuan Zhongxue's mouth, causing the people behind her to tremble. Long Aotian, upon hearing Yuan Zhongxue's words and recalling Jiang Yunhe's secret arrangements, couldn't help but say, "The Ying family of Ye Lingcheng was originally easy to deal with, but Jiang Yunhe has already sent people to protect them in secret. This makes our actions difficult and hinders our progress, resulting in us gaining nothing so far!"

Yuan Zhongxue glanced coldly at the people behind her, gritting her teeth as she said, "Jiang Yunhe has never cared about the affairs of Bixia Palace, so why is he so concerned now? He's just an ordinary elder, yet he dares to block my path! I want to see if he can protect Ying Li!" Thinking of the carefree Jiang Yunhe, Yuan Zhongxue was furious. They were both middle-level elders of Bixia Palace, and she could be considered the number one among them. Even the most respected middle-level elders would greet her politely, but Jiang Yunhe never took her seriously.

Now, Ying Li has cruelly murdered her younger brother Yuan Zhongyue out of personal grudges. Not only does Jiang Yunhe not shirk her responsibilities, but she has also taken on the entire task of protecting Ying Li, and even sent people to secretly protect the Ying family in Ye Lingcheng! If it weren't for the explicit rule that middle-level disciples cannot get involved in private fights, she would have already led a group of disciples to wipe out Ye Lingcheng! Now, because of Jiang Yunhe, the road to revenge is fraught with obstacles, which is truly infuriating!

Damn these rules! If she could be as unrestrained as the lower-ranking disciples, she would have killed Yin Huan long ago before dealing with Ying Li. It's so uncomfortable to be so restricted now!
