Peerless Heavens Mandate - Chapter 147
Chapter 147: A Journey Across a Thousand Miles, Calamity Descends from the Heavens
Translation by: Weebsread👹
“Hehehe… What a loving pair you make.”
Amidst the crowd, the flirtatious Rou Ruanzhi suddenly appeared, her laughter ringing out. At her words, Divine Maiden Xi Yao’s expression immediately darkened.
The surrounding demi-god elders exchanged knowing glances, their eyes glinting with mischief as they looked from Divine Maiden Xi Yao to Ye Xuan—each, no doubt, spinning their own colorful tales in their minds.
“Do you want me to tear that mouth of yours apart?”
Divine Maiden Xi Yao fixed Rou Ruanzhi with a frosty glare.
“Oh my, did I strike a nerve, Divine Maiden? Are you going to silence me to hide your true feelings?”
Having been trapped once already by Divine Maiden Xi Yao’s Luo Sea World atop the mountain, Rou Ruanzhi wasn’t foolish enough to linger this time. Her teasing words still echoed in the air as she had already darted a thousand meters away.
“Naughty little brother, don’t blame your big sister for not helping you! Our Divine Maiden here rules the Divine Way of the Profound Heavens with an iron hand—if she ever forces you into anything, don’t take it to heart, all right?”
Rou Ruanzhi threw Ye Xuan a seductive wink. He shivered involuntarily.
Divine Maiden Xi Yao, lusting after me?
Impossible.
He and Divine Maiden Xi Yao had never crossed any boundaries. All her help along the way—wasn’t it simply because she recognized his talent?
After all—
With his Golden Lotus Phenomenon and aura of a True God, Ye Xuan would attract the attention of any high-ranking figure.
Rather than believing Rou Ruanzhi’s nonsense, Ye Xuan was more inclined to think she was simply getting back at him for what had happened in the Desolate Mountain and the True God Secret Realm.
Yes, that must be it.
It had to be.
Yet, Rou Ruanzhi’s words, once they reached Divine Maiden Xi Yao’s ears, painted an entirely different picture.
Whether or not she harbored any desire for Ye Xuan, only she herself knew for certain.
Rou Ruanzhi’s teasing was unpleasant, but deep down, Divine Maiden Xi Yao couldn’t deny that she had indeed developed some unusual feelings toward Ye Xuan.
As the revered Divine Maiden of the Profound Heavens, she was always as solemn and dignified as a statue—neither warm nor cold, never startled nor delighted.
Everyone was accustomed to her divine, unapproachable demeanor.
No one dared joke about the Divine Maiden.
But then, an oddball like Rou Ruanzhi appeared.
Not only did she enjoy teasing the Divine Maiden, but now she was doing it openly, in front of everyone.
For a brief moment, a trace of gentle anger appeared on Divine Maiden Xi Yao’s otherwise calm face.
Yet what the surrounding demi-god elders noticed was not the anger, but a fleeting blush that colored her cheeks.
At first, none of them had taken Rou Ruanzhi’s teasing seriously. But now, seeing Xi Yao’s reaction, they found themselves half-believing it.
“No way, does the Divine Maiden actually like Ye Xuan?”
“Tsk tsk, young people falling for each other—what’s strange about that?”
“After all, what young maiden doesn’t yearn for love?”
“Even a Divine Maiden is not immune to such feelings.”
In truth, these demi-god elders were rather pleased with the prospect.
Both Ye Xuan and Divine Maiden Xi Yao were Golden Lotus Phenomenon Initiators of the Divine Way of the Profound Heavens.
Ye Xuan’s future achievements would be no less than Xi Yao’s.
If the two truly became a pair, it would be a story celebrated throughout the Divine Way of the Profound Heavens.
“The only question is, does Ye Xuan already have a marriage contract?”
These demi-god elders had spent many years in seclusion.
Though they kept a watchful eye on the affairs of the outside world, their focus was mostly on the power struggles among the major factions.
Who would bother to keep track of the private life of an ‘ordinary genius’?
“We didn’t know before that Ye Xuan was the Qilin child of the Golden Lotus Phenomenon. Now that we do, of course we’ll support and look after him more closely.”
“Honestly, even if he has a marriage contract, so what? It’s not as if they’re truly married. And even if they are, can’t they just divorce?”
Most importantly, if Divine Maiden Xi Yao really did have feelings for Ye Xuan, they would be more than happy to see this union come to pass.
Would the Divine Maiden become a third party?
Just as one of the demi-god elders had said earlier—
If there’s mutual affection, what is there to be embarrassed about?
With the Divine Way of the Profound Heavens standing tall among the Six Great Wilds, would they really fear the gossip of outsiders?
At this moment, still unaware of the calculations of these demi-god elders, Ye Xuan could feel their subtle glances and couldn’t help but feel a chill run down his spine.
“They’re all seniors of the Divine Way of the Profound Heavens. Surely they wouldn’t plot against me behind my back… right?”
It’s just my imagination. It has to be my imagination…
Ye Xuan kept repeating this to himself, as if to ward off his unease.
In that brief moment of distraction, Rou Ruanzhi had already vanished without a trace.
Divine Maiden Xi Yao’s Luo Sea World had locked onto her position.
As for Divine Maiden Xi Yao herself?
After Rou Ruanzhi’s shameless antics, she felt even more awkward than before.
But remembering the important matters at hand, she forced herself to introduce Ye Xuan to the surrounding demi-god elders.
“Young man, well done! We have high hopes for you!”
“You’re young and robust—excellent, excellent.”
“If you ever need anything, just let us know.”
The demi-god elders bombarded Ye Xuan with praise, but he couldn’t help feeling as if there was something else hidden in their words.
Their antics only made Divine Maiden Xi Yao, already uncomfortable, even more uneasy, and the speed with which her Luo Sea World hunted Rou Ruanzhi quickened yet again.
And so, over the next few days—
Ye Xuan remained in the upper three levels, stabilizing his cultivation and waiting for the Insight Crystal to recover.
The rumors sparked by the demi-god elders’ collective awakening gradually faded, thanks to deliberate suppression by the high-ranking members of the Divine Way.
“Finally, it’s recovered?”
After these days, Ye Xuan’s cultivation had fully stabilized.
As for the token Divine Maiden Xi Yao had given him—which granted him unrestricted access to the Divine Vault Secret Cave—Ye Xuan kept it close at hand.
As always—
This world’s tolerance for geniuses was boundless.
For someone with Ye Xuan’s True God bearing—
Not just the Divine Way of the Profound Heavens—even any of the major factions of the Central Spirit Domain would show him endless favor.
Moreover, the demi-god elders of the Divine Way were eager to see whether, with this token in hand, Ye Xuan could continue to work miracles.
However, just as Ye Xuan entered the Divine Vault Secret Cave for the second time—
South Wasteland, Kingdom of Jiang, Muyun City.
“Have you heard?”
“The Tantai Family has provoked someone.”
“They were wiped out overnight.”
“No… That can’t be, can it?”
“It’s absolutely true! I passed by this morning and saw it with my own eyes—tsk tsk, you wouldn’t believe how miserable their deaths were.”
“Tantai Mingyue had been taken in by the Fallen Pavilion. Even the martial artist families in Muyun City who held grudges against the Tantai Family in the past never dared to cut off their lifeline completely.
So who could it be?
Who could be so ruthless?!”
Although Tantai Mingyue had publicly withdrawn from the family, she still bore the Tantai surname.
The martial artist families of Muyun City hadn’t dared go too far.
They’d merely reclaimed their original mines and resources.
As for the Tantai Family?
They were still allowed to eke out an existence in Muyun City.
No one imagined that the once-prominent Tantai Family would be exterminated overnight.
The families of Muyun City were all shocked by the news.
They sent out group after group to investigate, but no one could find a single clue.
While everyone was panicking over the annihilation of the Tantai Family, a thousand miles from Muyun City, a noble young master clad all in white was leading his old servant, sweeping forth with overwhelming momentum—heading straight for the Ye Family.
