The cold light cast eeriely on Hui Wuniang’s demonically ferocious face.

Her emerald green pupils reflected her husband’s twisted face, filled with deep-seated hatred.

She opened her blood-drenched mouth, and with a sound, sprayed the blood between her lips and teeth all over his head and face, then laughed madly in despair.

Chi Wenyan suddenly went silent, the feral, brutal smile froze on his face.

His lips slowly pressed downwards as he nonchalantly wiped the bloodstains off his face.

A cold smile appeared in Chi Wenyan’s eyes, and he did not continue to torment Hui Wuniang.

His fingers relaxed, releasing her hair, and Hui Wuniang’s body fell heavily back onto the bed.

Chi Wenyan took a deep breath, his fingers gently tracing her face:

"Li Jiujiu of the Lihe Sect is indeed a good person, it’s understandable why you like her so much.

Not to mention, Wuniang likes her, and so do I. She would be perfect as the mother of my next child."

Hui Wuniang’s eyes widened, reacting extremely violently as if wanting to bite off his fingers.

Chi Wenyan quickly retracted his fingers: "Don’t be so fierce, I’m doing all this for your own good after all, am I not?

You and Li Jiujiu are both kind-hearted people, unable to ignore someone in distress.

You like her just as your Sister Feng liked you back then..."

He chuckled lowly, taking the empty porcelain bowl that once held meat soup, his dark eyes fixed on the floral bottom of the green porcelain bowl:

"Soon, I’ll be able to fulfill your wish, just like I did for Feng Fu’er back then. Li Jiujiu too will soon get to taste your meat soup."

...

...

Morning arrived, the rain stopped, and clouds dispersed overnight, leaving a clear sky washed clean.

Leaves in front of the building were battered by the storm, leaving the courtyard in disarray with scattered flowers and leaves. Early in the morning, the servants of the villa were cleaning up.

Ji Yinyin leaned halfway out of the window, complaining softly to her junior sister:

"It rained and thundered the whole night through. I’ve never encountered such bizarre weather before, disturbing enough to ruin a night’s sleep, truly infuriating."

"They say that wherever there’s wrongful death and killing, strange anomalies in heaven and earth occur, unlike anything else. Senior sister, do you think this Yundu Villa has offended Tai Sui, that the feng shui here isn’t very clean?"

"Pah, a natural storm and you make it sound so mysterious. Have you not seen the great seniors transcending tribulations?

The thunderous heavenly tribulations, reversing stars, dragons summoning thunder, what awe-inspiring heavenly power, how could you dare say those legendary seniors have offended Tai Sui too?"

The female disciple who was wildly speculating immediately fell silent, becoming quiet.

At this time, the door of a room in the opposite tower opened, and Ji Yinyin saw Li Jiujiu walking out. Unable to help herself, she exclaimed: "Oh? Isn’t this Miss Jiujiu? Quite the sensation last night? Then again, having such a charming and potent husband, how could our Miss Jiujiu not be thriving?"

Li Jiujiu almost fell flat on her face as she walked out of the room, her face turning white then red, spectacular in her embarrassment.

"You, you, you... What nonsense are you spouting?"

Ji Yinyin leaned by the window with a smile, saying: "Last night, Miss Jiujiu’s eloquence was unparalleled, shocking everyone, and gaining much admiration, though there was one thing, while true, remains a bit dubious..."

Ji Yinyin, with a playful and exaggerated posture, said: "Though my chest is ample, I’m not without brains. How could I forget what Miss Jiujiu said at the banquet last night so quickly?

Since Miss Jiujiu has found such a good partner, I shan’t say much more.

However, if fate allows, I do hope Miss Jiujiu won’t be stingy or unwilling to present that famously praised beau for us sisters to see, to testify indeed whether he’s as excellent and formidable as we’ve heard."

Her words carried a hint of playful teasing that immediately caused the other female disciples to cover their mouths and giggle.

Li Jiujiu, hearing this, felt as though struck by lightning, and slowly her fragmented memories of the previous night pieced together, becoming increasingly clear.

Her face flushed a deep red, wishing she could dig a hole to bury herself, and without responding to them, she lowered her head and hurriedly walked away like an ostrich.

Seeing her depart so early, Ji Yinyin put away her teasing expression and asked: "Are you going to visit the young madam of Yundu Villa?"

Seeing Ji Yinyin turn serious, Li Jiujiu couldn’t ignore her and replied:

"Yes, last night she coughed up so much blood. Today at noon, they’re going to perform a ritual to remove the child from her womb. Surely, she must be feeling terrible, so I want to talk to her."

Though Ji Yinyin often teased her, she never harbored any ill will towards Li Jiujiu. Seeing how fond she was of involving herself in things, she couldn’t help but caution her:

"That young madam carries an evil fetus, somewhat causing her mind to be influenced by a demonic essence. While you accompany her, don’t get careless thinking your cultivation makes you immune; be cautious not to be manipulated by such a small demon. In short, be careful yourself, alright?"

Reading the genuine concern in her words, Li Jiujiu felt a bit warmth in her heart and nodded, also warning her:

"That Bai Zhanji is not a true gentleman, be careful not to fall too deeply."

Ji Yinyin was caught off guard, then laughed, saying: "You should worry about yourself first, shouldn’t you?"

Chi Wenyan noticed Li Jiujiu carrying a food box to visit Hui Wuniang early in the morning, unable to hide his surprise: "Immortal Li?"

Though Li Jiujiu was concerned about what Baili An had said to her the previous night.
