Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 912 - 30: A Cold and Unfeeling Woman

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is attentive.

The drunken man’s words carried subtle criticism towards the Holy Beast Clan, which fell on Yue Xi’s ears as endless ridicule.

Yue Xi listened with a face shifting between green and purple, filled with disgust for the Duke Rose Yue Jinghua from the rumors. At this moment, she saw a man acting rashly, and inadvertently took a closer look at him.

Upon closer inspection, she discovered that the man was also a Dan Realm Expert, and couldn’t help but glance at Yue Potian with surprise.

To casually encounter a Dan Realm Master in a tavern, it seems the Canglong Continent isn’t simple.

After the red-clothed man angrily drove away several patrons, the two coldly beautiful female assassins beside him saw him fuming and consoled him, saying: "Young Master, those people were just spouting nonsense while drunk, it’s definitely not true, Miss Yue is not that kind of person."

"Exactly, talking nonsense without knowing anything, how could the skirt followers of Yue Jinghua exclude me, it infuriates me, I’m going to the Duke Mansion right now for a proper discussion with that woman, at this rate, let alone being the official husband, I might not even stand a chance as a servant husband," Xie Yu said furiously, and rushed out, leaving behind two embarrassed female assassins.

As it turns out, their Young Master didn’t care about Miss Yue’s romantic scandals, he was worried about losing his status among her skirt followers.

The logic under the Jade Finger Killing God is truly astounding; the two women were stunned for a while, then suddenly understood that Xie Yu had vanished. They were tasked by the alliance to accompany the new Alliance Hierarch of the Assassin Alliance, Xie Yu, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The two women hurriedly paid the bill, inquired about the location of the Duke Mansion in the city, and hastily followed.

"It seems, Yue Nian not only birthed a good son but also raised a good daughter," Yue Potian watched coldly from the side, listened carefully to the story, and pondered with a solemn face.

"Clan Leader, that Yue Jinghua has some nerve to slander our Holy Beast Clan behind our backs. Yue Nian as a Sect Leader is upright and honorable; how could he raise such a daughter? Surely, she’s influenced by the dirty blood of the Human Race," Yue Xi said angrily, admitting that if she hadn’t come personally to the Canglong Continent, she wouldn’t know Yue Jinghua was secretly causing trouble.

"These rumors circulating only on the Canglong Continent are not a problem, but if they reached the Sun Plane, it wouldn’t be so simple. I can help you this time, but not the next." Yue Potian’s expression was unhappy, despite Yue Xi’s initial wrongdoing, but Yue Jinghua daring to malign the Holy Beast Clan behind the scenes was indeed audacious.

Moreover, the girl’s nature is cunning, with chaotic relationships; if she returned to the Moon Plane, it would only disgrace the Sun Dragon Clan.

With just an unintended drinking session, Yue Potian had already categorized Yue Jinghua and those filthy and vile humans as one.

The two then left the tavern; they had already learned the location of the Duke Mansion, and upon arriving outside, saw numerous vehicles parked outside.

The mansion’s entrance was decorated festively, preparing for a joyful event.

Yue Xi asked around and learned that the young lord Yue Minzhi from the Duke Mansion was getting married tomorrow.

Yue Xi had long had a fondness for Yue Minzhi, and upon hearing he was marrying, and to a human no less, her expression changed, hastily informing Yue Potian of the situation.

"Marrying a human?! Hmph, like father, like son, Yue Nian is like this, and so is Yue Minzhi. He mustn’t marry; if the Sun Dragon Clan marries before ’Dragon Blood Boiling,’ during the Dragon Blood Revival, the lineage will be severely diminished. Tomorrow, no matter what, the wedding must be stopped," Yue Potian originally intended to storm into the Duke Mansion today, but due to the continuous stream of merchants, he couldn’t find an opportunity, so he chose to retreat with Yue Xi for now.

Yue Jinghua left the Imperial Palace, sat on the chariot, pondered over what Qing Pu had said to her.

"Dragon Blood Boiling" is indeed a concern; if marrying could truly solve the Dragon Blood Revival issue, should she really find someone to marry?

In fact, Lie Rou and Lie Changgong had hinted several times that Yue Jinghua was of marriageable age; knowing that Lie Rou, at Yue Jinghua’s age, had already married Yue Nian.

Lie Rou’s temperament suggests that once Yue Minzhi’s wedding is complete, the first thing she’d do is pressure Yue Jinghua to go on matchmaking sessions.

However, now that Yue Jinghua’s reputation is soaring in the Empire, Long Teng the 73rd, as an Empress, treasures Yue Jinghua, being fellow women, very much. Yue Jinghua’s marriage is thus becoming a big headache.

Yue Jinghua’s noble status demands an equally matched partner; however, suitable young men in the Imperial City shy away once they hear of her prowess, with none daring to propose, unwilling to seek someone who can kill with a mere hand gesture, a Dan Realm Expert.

If she’s to find someone of equal strength, then she’d likely need to target those monstrous beings among the Ten Strongest.

Contemplating the potential problems, Yue Jinghua couldn’t help but rub her temples.

Suddenly, the carriage she was in came to a sudden stop, the driver panicked and shouted, "How bold! This is the Duke Mansion’s carriage, who dares to block the road so recklessly?"

A lazy yet slightly angry voice drifted in, "Block you, indeed, Yue Jinghua, you heartless woman, tarnishing my reputation, and you think it resolves just like that."

Upon hearing the voice, Yue Jinghua lifted the carriage curtain and looked outside.

On the wide avenue leading to the Duke Mansion in the Imperial City, a person spread into the shape of a "large character."

Upon examining his demeanor, among men who wear red so thoroughly without seeming effeminate, Yue Jinghua knew only one person, Xie Yu.

The carriage stopped on the bustling avenue in the Imperial City, with the one blocking it being nowadays’ hottest Duke Rose. The person blocking the carriage was as handsome as Pan An, dashing and romantic.

In an instant, the Duke was publicly scolded and accused of being unfaithful; the news spread like it had wings.

Predictably, by morning, every tavern and tearoom would buzz with discussions about what the hottest topic was among young ladies and young wives.

Yue Jinghua felt a surge of anger stuck in her throat; if looks could kill, Xie Yu would have countless holes in him by this point.

She said nothing, got off the carriage, lifted Xie Yu by the neck, and tossed him into the carriage like a little chick.

Moments later, sounds of wailing came from the carriage, the two female assassins who arrived soon dared not even move, nervously following the Duke Mansion’s carriage heading towards the Duke Mansion.

Along the way, the continued wails from the carriage grew more miserable, until finally falling silent, one can only wonder if Xie Yu had breathed his last.
