Chapter 17: Qin Xuan, He Really Needs to Die!

As these words fell, the surrounding crowd erupted into noisy exclamation.

“What? Did I hear right? The Joyous Dao Sect Leader wants Qin Xuan as her number one consort?”

“Hell! What happened? Didn’t the Joyous Dao Sect Leader want Qin Xuan dead just a moment ago? How did hatred turn to love so suddenly?”

“People of the Joyous Dao Sect cultivate Joyous Arts and Secret Dual Cultivation techniques. Their personalities are affected. They love dual cultivating with exceptionally good-looking people!”

“It’s said the Joyous Dao Sect Leader has three thousand handsome young consorts! Why would she want Qin Xuan as her first?”

“Just look at Qin Xuan’s face, doesn’t he deserve to be the first?”

“Huh… If you put it like that, fair point. He really does have a strikingly handsome face!”

“Tsk tsk! Qin Xuan hit the jackpot! A Palace of Dao Realm powerhouse, with such a voluptuous figure… that chest, that round backside…”

“Looking at her makes me envious already. Qin Xuan really needs to die!”

After hearing Fei Qian’s words, the onlookers sized up her figure again. One by one, they felt a strange surge of jealousy towards Qin Xuan.

A Palace of Dao Realm powerhouse, a beauty with such charm… why wasn’t she picking them as her consort?

Even if it meant working themselves to death on that fertile field, it would be worth it!

However, Qin Xuan, standing in front of the Qin Manor, did not share their thoughts at all.

On the contrary, his expression darkened instantly upon hearing the words.

Consort?

If he remembered correctly, if that Demon Pokang had captured him back then, this was probably the title he would’ve been given!

Thinking of this, fury boiled uncontrollably within Qin Xuan.

“Consort your ass! Get lost right now!”

As the words fell, Fei Qian’s fox-like, charming face instantly turned grim. The surrounding crowd erupted in fresh discussion.

“Holy crap! What’s Qin Xuan thinking, daring to reject the Joyous Dao Sect Leader? Just because he killed some Patriarch of the Han Family doesn’t mean he’s invincible! The Sect Leader is a Palace of Dao Realm powerhouse!”

“Invincible or not I don’t know, but I think Qin Xuan might have… problems. Like, Yang Wei!”

“Exactly! Facing such an alluring beauty, he tells her to get lost? What a waste of a fine thing!”

Seeing Qin Xuan’s attitude, the onlookers felt Qin Xuan was being ungrateful.

Though Fei Qian was much older than Qin Xuan, in the cultivation world, her age was when a woman was at her most alluring.

Not to mention her looks and figure were top-notch, especially that voluptuous body that stirred excitement at a glance.

“Qin Xuan, do not test my patience! Do you truly think my temper is forgiving?”

“If not for your somewhat pleasing appearance, I would have executed you on the spot!”

“Do you know that Han Feihong, Patriarch of the Han Family, was one of my favorite consorts? His daughter, Han Li, was my sixteenth daughter!”

“Destroying the Han Family alone is a capital crime. I am offering you a chance to redeem yourself through service. Do not throw it away!”

“Otherwise, you will drag your family down to destruction in Qingfeng City!”

A frost seemed to settle on Fei Qian’s fox-like face as she spoke icily.

As the leader of the Joyous Dao Sect, a mighty Palace of Dao Ream (Third Level) powerhouse, she was giving Qin Xuan immense grace by not killing him and instead making him her first consort!

Yet Qin Xuan not only showed no gratitude, he dared insult her! Clearly, he needed some severe discipline later!

After delivering this speech, Fei Qian expected Qin Xuan to beg fearfully for her mercy.

To her surprise, Qin Xuan, who hadn’t seemed quite so enraged before, exploded with fury.

“So you are the source of all this evil!”

Learning that Fei Qian before him was the birth mother of that Demon Pokang, Qin Xuan’s rage could no longer be contained.

The despair before his system activated, the tragic death of Su Nianshuang’s own brother – weren’t they all caused by that Demon Pokang!

And now, this Fei Qian, like her daughter, wanted to take him as a consort.

Their mother-daughter aesthetic taste was oddly consistent!

At this thought, a sharp, chilling Sword Intent erupted instantly. Murderous intent flashed in Qin Xuan’s eyes as he prepared to take flight and kill her!

Seeing this, Fei Qian’s aura also erupted, the imposing pressure of a Palace of Dao Realm powerhouse sweeping out.

It seemed if she wanted this Qin Family Heaven’s Pride in her consort harem, she had to subdue him first!

Bang!

The sharp Sword Intent clashed violently with the powerful pressure of the Palace of Dao Realm powerhouse in mid-air, causing the air to crackle and explode.

Screech!

However, just as both sides gathered momentum, ready to battle…

A sharp, clear phoenix cry suddenly pierced the air. Then, a phoenix formed from Purple Phoenix Divine Flame flew out from the Qin Manor’s rear garden.

Instantly, the temperature in the world spiked. That Purple Phoenix pulsed with devastating Divine Phoenix power as it lunged at Fei Qian.

“Tender Blood Blade!”

Reacting swiftly, a blood-red long blade appeared in Fei Qian’s hand. With one slash, a fierce blade light cut through the void and slammed into the Divine Flame-phoenix.

Rumble!

As the two powerful combat techniques collided, countless blade energies shot out, and endless purple flames scattered.

The violent energy shockwave sent the surrounding observers stumbling back dozens of steps before they regained their footing.

“Incredible power! To hold its own against a Palace of Dao Realm powerhouse’s blade strike from the Joyous Sect Leader? Which powerful figure has arrived?”

“It came from the Qin Manor’s rear garden, right? Could the Qin Manor house a Palace of Dao Realm powerhouse??”

“Hell! Seriously? Apart from the royal family, only powerful sects near the empire have Palace of Dao Realm powerhouses!”

“The Qin Family is just a small clan in Qingfeng City! How could they possibly have a Palace of Dao Realm powerhouse guarding them?”

“The Qin Family just gets more and more mysterious!”

Witnessing the Purple Flame Phoenix block Fei Qian’s blade light, the onlookers couldn’t help but gasp in surprise.

They quickly shifted their gaze behind the dissipating purple flames, eager to see who emerged.

So, as the purple flames scattered and the dust settled…

A figure slowly walked out. She wore a purple dress, her figure graceful and delicate. The curves at her slender waist were both ample yet lacked any sense of bulk.

Her face was stunning, her aura supreme, like a goddess descended. She exuded timeless grace and beauty.

Having undergone rebirth, Ji Yingyue’s skin had become even fairer and smoother, adding a touch of nobility and elegance to her bearing.

The peaks at her chest were also fuller and rounder. In both looks and figure, she was overwhelmingly, divinely beautiful!

At that moment, it wasn’t just the onlookers; even Qin Xuan’s eyes lit up.

Absolutely breathtaking!

Under the captivated stares of the onlookers, Ji Yingyue walked out from across the ground scattered with purple flames.

She came to Qin Xuan’s side, grasped his hand firmly, then fixed Fei Qian with a sharp gaze and said:

“Auntie, forget how incredibly old you are. Just look at your fading charms. How could you ever be worthy of having my husband as your consort?”

Boom!

These words ignited the crowd instantly.

“Husband?? This stunning woman is really Qin Xuan’s wife?”

“Gods above! How did Qin Xuan deserve this? To have such a heaven-toppling, city-wrecking wife!”

“She’s… so beautiful. Could such perfection exist in the world? No wonder Qin Xuan rejected the Joyous Sect Leader!”

“Yeah! Though the Sect Leader is a great beauty too, she’s utterly overshadowed before this woman!”

“Dwarfed doesn’t cover it! They aren’t even comparable! Even the Joyous Sect Leader’s proudest assets… they aren’t as plump or perfectly round as hers!”

“He really needs to die! I think Qin Xuan even more deserves to die now!”

The moment Ji Yingyue grasped Qin Xuan’s left hand, the crowd’s jealousy towards him peaked.

Not only had he earned the favor of a beauty like the Joyous Dao Sect Leader, who desired to dual cultivate with him…

He also secretly harbored a wife like a goddess within his own home!

If they weren’t aware of their own low cultivation and certain they couldn’t defeat Qin Xuan, they might have already shouted slogans like “Kill Qin Xuan, seize the goddess!”.

Of course, compared to the crowd’s jealousy, there was another person at the Qin Manor gate whose wrath had reached its limit.

Right now, Fei Qian’s eyes were bloodshot on her fox-like face.

The imposing aura of a Palace of Dao Realm powerhouse erupted from her like a volcano, tearing the clouds above.

‘Fading charms’ – these four words hit her with the force of a heavenly-grade combat technique delivered point-blank.

Though there was no physical pain, her heart was utterly scorched by the phrase, pushing her into reckless fury!

Any thought of a first consort vanished. All she wanted now was to tear this wretched couple to shreds.

“Husband… who is this rather fierce-looking aunt? And why is she so… unsightly?”

Just then, Su Nianshuang, dressed in a black gown, hurried over. She grasped Qin Xuan’s other hand firmly and spoke while looking at Fei Qian.

“Hah! Not entirely sure myself. Some unknown ugly hag, I suppose,” Qin Xuan chuckled lightly, then gave Ji Yingyue and Su Nianshuang’s hands a soft, affectionate squeeze each in his own.

These two girls, their ‘attack power’ was surprisingly potent!

Su Nianshuang, a Rotating Sea Realm Grandmaster, possessed exceptionally sharp hearing.

She had clearly heard Fei Qian’s words from the back – both the proposal for Qin Xuan to be a consort, and her identity as the birth mother of the Han Family’s Eldest Miss.

Therefore, even the kind-hearted, gentle Su Nianshuang couldn’t resist coming out to hurl a few verbal jabs at Fei Qian.

One was to vent Qin Xuan’s anger. The second was to vent her own anger for her dead younger brother!

However, Su Nianshuang’s appearance made the crowd even more frantic.

They had thought one wife of unparalleled beauty, goddess-like in appearance, was already Qin Xuan’s crowning achievement.

Now, out came another stunning beauty! Tragically gentle, with a totally different style but equally captivating looks – undoubtedly a consort!

Watching the two women, left and right, firmly holding Qin Xuan’s hands, the onlookers felt literal heartache.
