Jun Jiuxiao listened silently. When she finished speaking, a slight, almost imperceptible sneer appeared on her lips.

With his rich experience and keen insight, how could he not know the falsehood in her words?

However, he was unwilling to tell the truth and was too lazy to investigate further.

So he turned around expressionlessly, ready to leave.

The moonlight, like water, fell upon his tall and slender figure, illuminating his sharply defined and cold face.

His brows and eyes exuded a chilling aura that made people hesitant to approach him.

Just then, a clear and urgent voice rang in Chu Xingyao's mind:

"Miss, something terrible has happened! This War God Prince has been poisoned!" The voice came from the cola inside Chu Xingyao's body.

Chu Xingyao knew from her past life that Jun Jiuxiao was extremely wary of everyone and never revealed his true feelings.

She was like an unmelting iceberg, making her difficult to approach.

However, this man, who was as cold as ice and highly guarded, trusted Chu Xingyao completely in his previous life.

Looking back on this deep affection, Chu Xingyao felt a pang of pain in her heart.

Watching Jun Jiuxiao's retreating figure, Chu Xingyao could no longer care about anything else. With a solemn expression, she shouted loudly at his back:

"Your Highness, please wait! The poison you have ingested has penetrated deep into your bones. If it is not treated immediately, the consequences could be severe!"

So anxious was she that she even forgot to change her original voice.

He turned around before she could finish speaking and stood there quietly.

His figure was as upright as a pine tree, his face was calm, and his eyes were as deep as a pool, as if they contained endless secrets and emotions.

In his previous life, the sound that echoed most frequently in his ears was Chu Xingyao's angry rebuke.

Those words were filled with anger and resentment.

Or perhaps it was with a gnashing of hatred.

Or perhaps it's like now, filled with anxiety.

His gaze, like two blazing flames, was fixed on the woman before him, known as "Nether Phoenix".

A subtle emotion, indescribable in words, suddenly welled up deep within me.

That clear, melodious voice, tinged with a hint of urgency;

Those bright eyes, sparkling like glittering stars;

And then there's her adorable way she unconsciously clenches her fists and stomps her feet when she gets anxious.

All these familiar features made him involuntarily recall Chu Xingyao from his previous life.

—That knot in his past life, that taboo in this life.

Could it be that the "Phoenix of the Underworld" in front of us is actually Chu Xingyao?

However, as soon as the thought arose in his mind, he quickly and resolutely shook his head.

Trying to drive this seemingly absurd idea out of one's mind.

After all, Chu Xingyao in her previous life was physically weak and frail. On such a snowy day, if she caught a cold, she would be bedridden.

However, the woman standing in front of him was not only strong and powerful, but also possessed superb martial arts skills.

The two are worlds apart.

Chu Xingyao was shocked. As expected of Jun Jiuxiao, he could see the similarity between "Minghuang" and "Chu Xingyao" with just one glance.

A cold, emotionless voice suddenly drifted over from afar: "My poison is none of your concern, young lady."

Having said that, he took out a silver note worth 100,000 taels and handed it to her, his lips barely moving:

"If that's not enough, we can seek out the Night Hawk." With that, he turned and left, his back straight and cold.

Standing there, Chu Xingyao watched his figure gradually disappear into the distance, and couldn't help but think to herself:

“Someone as aloof and proud as him could have completely and wholeheartedly believed in me in his past life.”

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh softly.

Alas! If Jun Jiuxiao refuses, how can she heal his wounds? If bribery fails, then she'll resort to coercion.

So, Chu Xingyao took a deep breath and cleared her slightly dry throat.

Then, he called out in a deep voice to the figure that was almost out of sight.

“Jun Jiuxiao, if you die from the poison and my mission fails, I will make Miss Chu of the Zhennan General’s Mansion go to the Yellow Springs with you.”

Just then, Cola's slightly teasing voice came:

"Miss, you can be really ruthless when you're angry; you don't even spare yourself."

At that moment, Jun Jiuxiao, who had already taken several steps, suddenly stopped in his tracks upon hearing these words.

He calmly turned around, his face cold and stern, as if covered by a layer of frost, emanating a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine.

His lips were tightly pressed together, his silence revealing a resolute determination, while in his deep eyes, it seemed as if anger was quietly burning.

He slowly raised his right hand, and powerful internal energy began to gather in his palm.

Immediately afterwards, he swung his hand forward, and an extremely sharp palm wind howled out, sweeping straight towards her.

The palm strike was as fierce as a storm, tearing the air apart and producing a sharp, piercing sound.

Upon seeing this, Chu Xingyao's expression changed slightly, realizing that this attack was exceptionally powerful.

She dared not be negligent in the slightest, and with a slight twist of her body, she used her best lightness skill to try to avoid this fatal blow.

However, despite her extreme speed, the palm strike was too swift and caught up with her in the blink of an eye.

Left with no other choice, Chu Xingyao gritted her teeth, thrusting out both palms to meet the surging palm wind with all her might.

With a loud "bang," the palm wind collided fiercely with Chu Xingyao's palms.

In an instant, the surrounding air seemed to explode, and a powerful shockwave spread in all directions.

Both of them were thrown backward by the enormous impact, and it took them several steps to regain their balance.

Chu Xingyao took a few light breaths, looked at the cold-faced man in front of her, and a faint smile suddenly appeared on her lips as she teased him softly:

"It seems that Miss Chu holds a rather special place in His Highness the War King's heart!"

"Otherwise, with your noble status and profound martial arts skills, why would you be so angry with a lowly woman like me?"

Upon hearing this, Jun Jiuxiao narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing within them.

His aura suddenly surged, and a terrifying pressure instantly spread out, making it almost impossible for people to breathe.

He stared coldly at Chu Xingyao and said in a chilling voice, "It has nothing to do with her. I hate being threatened the most."

Sensing the intense killing intent emanating from Jun Jiuxiao, Chu Xingyao's heart tightened involuntarily.

She knew that this Prince of War was no ordinary person, especially when he was angry, he was as terrifying as a demon god descending to earth.

Moreover, she had clearly sensed just now that Jun Jiuxiao was poisoned.

But the fact that his internal strength was still so profound and domineering is truly astonishing.

Thinking of this, Chu Xingyao knew she couldn't delay any longer and had to find a way to end the battle as soon as possible.

Therefore, she secretly circulated her inner strength, preparing to launch a more ferocious offensive, striving to defeat her opponent in one fell swoop.

She raised her hand and used the "Reincarnation" technique, unleashing Flying Star Piercing Clouds, to attack him.

Jun Jiuxiao's expression was solemn, because he had just witnessed the power of the woman's move.

However, Jun Jiuxiao was no ordinary person; he already had a plan in mind.

He took a deep breath, and his powerful spiritual energy circulated rapidly within him. In an instant...

With a wave of his hands, an incomparably sharp aura suddenly erupted, revealing one of his signature techniques—"Eagle Soaring Through the Sky"!

However, would Chu Xingyao give up so easily?

Seeing this, she snorted coldly, changed her moves, and once again unleashed an even more powerful "Star River Downfall".

In an instant, countless dazzling starlight poured down from her hands, like the Milky Way hanging upside down, a breathtaking sight, but the power contained within was extremely terrifying.

Faced with such an offensive, Jun Jiuxiao was not afraid at all. With a flick of his wrist, he wielded his long sword like a whirlwind.

The sound of whistling sword energy filled the air as they unleashed the "Sword Dance of Heaven and Earth" technique to counter the enemy.

And so, the two displayed their extraordinary abilities, engaging in a thrilling and intense battle in the air.

They moved with the agility of swallows, displaying superb lightness skills, swiftly traversing the air while continuously attacking their opponent.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides had exchanged more than a hundred blows.

Despite Chu Xingyao's considerable strength, what surprised and angered her was that she was unable to inflict any substantial damage on Jun Jiuxiao.

At this moment, Chu Xingyao was both annoyed and amused. This guy was actually able to go through a hundred moves with her without being at a disadvantage.

It seems that even three Netherworld beings combined wouldn't be a match for him!

Thinking of this, Chu Xingyao laughed in anger. He truly lived up to his reputation as the God of War who was renowned throughout the four kingdoms—Jun Jiuxiao.

He was truly cunning, treacherous, and extremely treacherous.

In the battle with Youming just now, he clearly had an absolute advantage, but in the end he deliberately lost to Youming.

Clearly, he wanted to sit back and watch the two tigers fight, waiting for them to both be severely injured before reaping the benefits.

No wonder he remained expressionless and extremely indifferent even after I kindly saved his life.

It turns out it was all a carefully orchestrated conspiracy!

While Chu Xingyao was angry, she was also filled with tenderness and guilt.

It turns out that even though he was poisoned at the moment, his martial arts skills were still astonishing and unfathomable.

How many thrilling, life-or-death battles must such a person, with superb martial arts skills and extraordinary abilities, have gone through when he came to save her in his previous life!

So much so that when he came before her, he was covered in such horrific and shocking injuries.

Thinking of this, Chu Xingyao felt a pang of heartache, and tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably.

Just then, Jun Jiuxiao slowly raised his head, his gaze meeting Chu Xingyao's.

In an instant, he saw those eyes brimming with tears, their vision blurred by tears.

It was exactly the same as when Chu Xingyao in her previous life shed tears after being wronged in the General's Mansion.

Back then, Chu Xingyao was pampered by her father and brother from a young age and was spoiled terribly.

She has an extremely sensitive and fragile personality and cries easily.

Even if she just falls down by accident, she will cry for a long time, and her father has to coax her for a long time to calm her down.

However, her beautiful eyes were as dazzling as stars.

Especially when she cries, each teardrop is like a cascading galaxy, unforgettable to behold.

Even now, the woman's entire body is covered except for her eyes.

But with those familiar eyes and unique temperament, Jun Jiuxiao could make a judgment without hesitation.

The person standing in front of me is undoubtedly Chu Xingyao.

Thinking of this, Jun Jiuxiao flashed and pounced towards Chu Xingyao like a ghost.

The target was the mysterious golden mask she wore on her face.

Faced with Jun Jiuxiao's sudden action, Chu Xingyao showed no intention of dodging or avoiding him.

Just as Jun Jiuxiao's hand was about to touch her mask, Chu Xingyao suddenly spoke.

This caused Jun Jiuxiao's originally lightning-fast movements to freeze in mid-air, unable to move forward even an inch.

"Your Highness, do you really intend to do this? Once you see my face, according to the rules of the Underworld, you must marry me."

Her voice carried a hint of playfulness, yet also a touch of seriousness.

Upon hearing this, Jun Jiuxiao's heart sank, but he remained outwardly calm.

Jun Jiuxiao pondered to himself:

"It's alright, it's just about procreation and managing the household. I don't care who I marry in this life, as long as it's not that Chu Xingyao. I will definitely keep my distance from her in this life, I will definitely..."

However, for some reason, he eventually let go.
