Chapter 247: Li Xiang: The Enchanting Demoness and Me, the Lapdog
The three Sages were all taken aback.
“Girl, what nonsense are you spouting?”
You Jingfeng scolded with a laugh.
“My husband ran off with someone!”
As soon as this was said, the Sword Saint became furious. With a clang, he drew his sword.
“How outrageous! Where did this fox spirit come from to seduce my brother? I’m going to slay her right now!”
Before he could finish his sentence, he got smacked on the head by You Jingfeng.
“You fool!”
You Jingfeng cursed, and before he could explain, Long Lingyun spoke up from the side.
“Senior Sword Saint, the fox spirit you mention should be our Senior Apprentice Sister and Master.”
“Hiss…”
The Sword Saint trembled all over, the images of Mu Ran Ya and Zhang Chuqiao instantly flashing in his mind, and he subtly sheathed his sword.
Even the Yin-Yang Body and the awakened Female Sage were not people he could provoke. Moreover, they were his brother’s women; as an elder brother, he couldn’t lose his decorum!
“Hahaha…”
To ease the awkwardness, the Sword Saint began laughing heartily.
“Girl, there’s no need to be sad. Men live in this world, having three wives and four concubines is just normal…”
However, he hadn’t finished speaking when he felt a tightening around his neck, sensing a killing gaze.
“This is bad!”
Facing his wife’s glare, the Sword Saint felt his heart sink.
“Tian Tian, let me explain; I just spoke without thinking… it’s not what I truly believe…”
With a thud, a washing board landed in front of the Sword Saint.
To a Sage, this item had no lethality but was highly insulting.
Seeing this, the Sword Saint’s expression immediately darkened, filled with a chilling intent.
“Haha… this should just be a joke, no need to take it seriously!”
You Jingfeng felt that things were not looking good and wanted to mediate.
“Humph! Women!”
The Sword Saint’s gaze was extremely sharp as he declared, “You better not kneel and beg me to stand up later!”
With a plop, he knelt on the washing board, yet his neck was held high, assuming a defiant posture.
“Just as expected of you!”
You Jingfeng was filled with admiration; this guy’s cultivation was indeed top-notch, able to hold his own even if the sky were to fall.
At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open, and the Sword Saint immediately sprang to his feet at lightning speed, acting as if nothing had happened.
“Greetings, Senior Elder, greetings, Virgin Saint!”
“What’s the matter?”
“The head of the Li Family and his wife have just arrived at our Celestial Master Clan, and the Family Head asked me to invite you over.”
“Li Family?”
The Little Demoness immediately became alert; she remembered You Jingfeng once saying that the Li couple were likely the biological parents of Zhou Tong.
“Do you know what they are here for?”
“I’m not sure; I only saw that two Sages from the Li Family accompanied them, and they brought heavy gifts, saying it was a betrothal gift…”
Upon hearing this, the Little Demoness furrowed her brows immediately.
Not just her, but the expressions of the other three Sages also darkened.
They were all intelligent people, and how could the other party’s strange actions go unnoticed?
“They are not here for a good purpose.”
The Little Demoness remarked.
“If I’m not mistaken, they are here for you.”
“During the welcoming ceremony held at the Celestial Master Clan when you returned, that kid from the Li Family was staring at you with such intensity!”
You Jingfeng couldn’t help but sneer, feeling excited, as he sensed a grand drama was about to unfold.
A fake young master competing for a woman against the real young master was an explosive event, no matter when it happened.
Moreover, in the eyes of the real young master, not only was Li Xiang insignificant, but the entire Li Family might as well be a blade of grass; they were simply incomparable. He looked forward to how things would develop.
As for why the Li Family dared to barge in so grandly, they believed they had the Celestial Master Clan in their grasp.
However, the Celestial Master Clan was no longer what it used to be. The Li Family didn’t understand the significance of the Little Demoness to the Celestial Master Clan, nor did they realize how terrifying her background was.
Today, they could only humiliate themselves!
“Since the Li Family has come knocking, let’s go take a look.”
The Little Demoness said with a gentle smile, and she, along with everyone, headed to the discussion hall.
…
In the discussion hall of the Celestial Master Clan, the Family Head sat in the first seat, his expression dark and inscrutable.
To his left, the Li couple sat in order, with Li Xiang leaning against Lin Ruoxii, looking anxious yet expectant.
The two Sages from the Li Family stood behind them, exuding a powerful aura at all times.
“Ying Clan Head, have you given this matter some thought? If this good deed is successful, the Celestial Master Clan will receive tremendous benefits!”
Li Congxin had been waiting for a while, and impatience crept into his tone.
“A marriage is a serious matter; how can it be treated lightly!”
The Family Head squinted his eyes and said, “You are, after all, a top family. Since you wish to marry our Saintess, you neither discussed it with us beforehand, nor did you have a matchmaker, yet you come with a meager betrothal gift; are you trying to force a marriage?”
As soon as this was said, the expressions of the Li Family members darkened.
A matchmaker’s words were meant for a legitimate wife. For a plaything, they felt this offering was already too generous.
Just as they were about to speak, the door of the discussion hall swung open, and the Little Demoness elegantly walked in, making Li Xiang’s eyes go wide.
“She does have some beauty…”
Lin Ruoxii nodded, and with that one sentence, the atmosphere in the hall became tense.
To evaluate the Celestial Master Clan’s Saintess’s looks in such a manner was not just disrespectful but exceedingly provocative.
This could only mean that the Li Family was used to arrogance and had never shown respect to the Celestial Master Clan. If they were facing the Joyful Union Sect’s ancestors, they would have knelt faster than anyone else!
“Yue’er, I’ve finally seen you again! Do you remember me?”
Li Xiang was incredibly excited, standing up as if he were a natural lapdog.
“Ever since the first moment I saw you, images of you have flooded my mind. If I don’t see you for a day, I can’t sleep at night; even when I do sleep, my dreams are all about you…”
“Clan Head, you called me over for what matter?”
The Little Demoness completely ignored Li Xiang as she sat down in her already arranged seat.
Treated so coldly, Li Xiang suddenly came to a halt, his face turning crimson, standing there in embarrassment.
Seeing this scene, Lin Ruoxii immediately darkened her expression.
“Ying Clan Head, I heard that your Saintess was picked up from the wild, and now that I see, it is indeed true; someone so uncultivated cannot become a woman of our Li Family!”
Upon hearing this, the Little Demoness’s lips curled slightly. Just as she was about to retort, the Clan Head jumped in to speak.
“What are you even? As soon as you open your mouth, the foul stench that comes out is enough to choke me to death. Do you dare to point fingers at my family’s Saintess? Am I being too nice to you?”
As soon as this was said, the entire discussion hall fell silent for a moment!
