Chapter 252   The Snake-like Eyes

It was Princess Qianyang.

It was only natural that she kept checking on Hua Qiyue and Yun Shimo all the time. She needed to stay alert for any of their moves.

But then she saw that. Her heart was saturated with hatred and jealousy. The snake inside her was going to escape from her repression and tear the adulterous couple up.

Princess Qianyang took a deep breath. She reminded herself not to be so impulsive.

She turned around. Her face twisted for repressing that anger.

A face used to be pretty good-looking had become as ugly as that of a wicked witch.

“I can’t lose, I just can’t! I am Mrs. Yun. Hua Qiyue is just a low-life bitch! Even if Yun Shimo accepts her, she can only be a concubine! So... haha, I am going to look for the opportunity when everyone thinks that Hua Qiyue is trying to seduce Yun Shimo, and then she will be totally ruined and disgraced!”

Princess Qianyang reminded herself again and took a few deep breaths. Then she strode towards the cave.

Yun Shimo carried Hua Qiyue in his arms into the room, and then carefully took off her wooden boots. The sprained ankle was red and swollen, and it looked terrible.

Tianci felt really guilty as he saw that. He lowered his head and mumbled, “Mom, I am sorry...”

Hua Qiyue saw the guilt from his son’s little face. She couldn’t help chuckling. “Tianci, don’t do such stupid things anymore. I don’t blame you. You meant well, and you did what you wanted to do.”

“Yes! Mom, yes! I wanted you and dad to be together so that I don’t need to face the question of whom to be with in the future!”

Tianci’s eyes looked like those of a fox. They glimmered with naughtiness.

“You smart boy...” Hua Qiyue was speechless. “Tianci is only seven years old. How could he think of such a question that is beyond his age?”

The hare jumped into the room and leaned against Yun Shimo’s feet. It smiled and said, “Princess Qianyang saw you guys just now. Hey, she had snake-like eyes, so you two should be careful from now on!”

Yun Shimo was shocked for a moment. He slowly poured out the medication oil from the bottle and applied it to Hua Qiyue’s sprained area. “She... didn’t she take the Passionless Pill?”

“Please, she did not! Oh, Yun Shimo, I forgot to tell you that last night, I saw her pour the soup into the creek. She didn’t drink it, so she didn’t take your Passionless Pill.”

The hare sneered. It hadn’t expected Princess Qianyang to be so foxy.

Hua Qiyue was surprised. It turned out that Princess Qianyang already had her suspicions and she didn’t take Yun Shimo’s medicine pellets. So Yun Shimo had to put the medicine into the soup and let Princess Qianyang take them with the soup.

But no one had thought that Princess Qianyang was still so vigilant and didn’t even drink the soup. It was a waste of Madame Yun’s plan.

Hua Qiyue blinked her eyes at that thought. She didn’t know that Yun Shimo could be so tricky even to put the medicine into the soup.

Princess Qianyang was somewhat deeply in love with Yun Shimo, wasn’t she? Nevertheless, Yun Shimo was still ruthless enough to do such a thing to her. That had disappointed Hua Qiyue somehow.

“If I am not the one who he loves, and if there is nothing I can be used for, will he be so ruthless and cold too?”

Hua Qiyue’s heart dropped as she thought about that.

She wasn’t a big fan of Princess Qianyang, but she still felt disappointed at what Yun Shimo had done.

“So this is what it is. Now that she has started to have suspicions, I can no longer give her the Passionless Pill. Well... my previous plans and efforts have all been in vain.”

Yun Shimo’s brow furrowed. While speaking, he squeezed some anima energy into one of Hua Qiyue’s feet. A warm current invaded Hua Qiyue’s foot, and the pain of the area that hurt before suddenly eased a lot.

Hua Qiyue wasn’t surprised, though. Yun Shimo was the medicine saint after all. If he was not capable of treating a sprained foot, he certainly did not deserve that title.

After a few seconds, Yun Shimo had cured Hua Qiyue’s injured foot. Hua Qiyue looked at her healed foot, feeling that Yun Shimo was entitled to all the fame.

“It’s alright now. But you need to try to avoid walking for a couple of days,” Yun Shimo said to Hua Qiyue.

His hands were still rubbing the sprained area.

“Qiyue, look what I have brought you...”

A joyful voice stopped while it was still out of the room. Everyone looked up, and they saw Huangfu Xuan’s bright but frozen smile. He was holding a small Demon Chicken...

Hua Qiyue was surprised and puzzled.

“Are there Demon Chickens in this area? And why it’s so small?”

The Demon Chicken that Huangfu Xuan was holding seemed to be born not long ago. That evil beast was still alive, but it had many injuries on its feet, and its back hair had some bloodstains.

Tianci became so excited once he saw the Demon Chicken and its big, bright, and innocent eyes. “Brother Huangfu, are you going to bring me a chicken?”

Huangfu Xuan glanced at Yun Shimo’s hands that were still holding Hua Qiyue’s foot. He said embarrassedly, “Well, yeah, this Demon Chicken is for you. Tianci, you need to train this chicken.”

Yun Shimo stealthily let go of Hua Qiyue’s foot. He glanced back at Huangfu Xuan. Huangfu Xuan, on the other hand, gave him a dreadful look and then stumped away.

Hua Qiyue missed those Demon Chickens in the Spirit Heaven Mountains. But Ji Feng and other guys had been looking for them for a long time and failed, so Hua Qiyue had to abandon that idea.

But then Huangfu Xuan accidentally bumped into that small Demon Chicken and was so delighted, so he caught the Demon Chicken and planned to bring it to Hua Qiyue.

But Huangfu Xuan didn’t expect to see the scene of Yun Shimo clinging to Hua Qiyue’s foot so closely when he got there. He was so frustrated and had to give Tianci the chicken under that circumstance.

Huangfu Xuan’s spirit was crushed out of him, and he walked into the woods. He wandered around aimlessly. Then he finally lost his strength and had to sit on a stone next to him.

Huangfu Xuan was spiritless and looked at the log cabin not far away. He understood that even if Yun Shimo didn’t exist, Hua Qiyue still wouldn’t love him.

After all, he used to treat Hua Qiyue in a horrible way. What could have been a happy wedding was ruined by his arrogance.

“Who is to blame?”

“Blame the fate that Hua Qiyue and I didn’t have!”

Huangfu Xuan’s heart was hurt, and his mind was lost. He was clear that Xuanji and Ji Feng were better than him. Even if Yun Shimo was out of the picture, there were still Xuanji and Ji Feng, whom Hua Qiyue would throw her heart to.

“Forget it, forget it!”

“Let nature take its course. As long as I am here watching her being happy, it’s enough.”

At the same time, Xuanji was also standing under the tree not far away, watching what was going on in the house.

The big window of that house was right in his direction. Hua Qiyue and Yun Shimo were in the house, sitting right next to each other.

When Hua Qiyue sprained her foot, he wanted to rush over, but of course, Yun Shimo was faster than him.

Xuanji furrowed his handsome brow. He could not stand seeing Hua Qiyue being so close to other guys.

Yun Shimo came out of the log cabin, and the hare was on his shoulder. This pair walked towards the mountain, passing Xuanji.

Xuanji stood there and watched Yun Shimo with cold eyes, and Yun Shimo also gave him an unkind look.

They met each other in the eyes, and then the sparkles flashed through. Something seemed to be underway.

Yun Shimo and the hare got to the mountain top. The hare jumped to a tree from Yun Shimo’s shoulder, saying, “Hey, Yun Shimo, that guy, Xuanji, is not so simple.”

“Of course, I know he is not so simple. After all, even you can’t trap him, how can he be simple?” Yun Shimo scorned at the hare.

The hare was aggravated at that tone. “Hey, you! What’s that look? I told you that because I was nice! I’m a medium level Holy God, and my power was restricted because of this god-damn rabbit body. Do you know that my true power is close to the great completeness of the Cultivation Dimension? And you hope me to trap Xuanji in this body?”

The hare said coldly, “If I can really use the power at the medium level of Holy God, I don’t need to be afraid of your enemy—Xuanyuan Family. I can destroy them with just one finger!”

Yun Shimo held his thoughts, thinking about all those things that the hare had done for him.

“Well, then, why don’t you tell me why he isn’t so simple?”

“Although he does not know how to use Spirit Summoning Art, his mental practicing method is indeed very powerful, even more powerful than mine. Though my Spirit Summoning Art can trap him, it can’t last for too long. My spirit power is stronger than his, but my mental practicing method isn’t, so... he can get away from my control in a short time,” the hare said to Yun Shimo.

Yun Shimo’s face was a bit gloomy after he heard what the hare had said. “Well, it seems that to deal with him is a bit of troublesome .”

“He is from the three ancient clans. If you want to kill him, I think you need to wait. You already messed up with Xuanyuan Family. If you provoke Xuan Family now, I am afraid that you will be killed before you even get out of this array interior.”

“I know what to do,” Yun Shimo replied flatly. He was not so stupid. He wouldn’t go and mess up with another ancient family.

The most important thing for him was to learn those few lethal skills he got, and then he would never be afraid of anyone in the world.

Yun Shimo took a deep breath. He cleared his mind and started his practice.

People used the stone table in the woods for dinner again.

Hua Qiyue and the others were having their meals and then she stole a glance at Princess Qianyang. Princess Qianyang was surprisingly gentle and nice to Yun Shimo. She noticed Hua Qiyue. She looked back at Hua Qiyue and smiled at her.

Hua Qiyue was so confused. “This girl does know how to put on an act. She hates my guts, but in front of her audience, she gives me a perfect smile. What an actress!”

There were twelve dishes tonight; three vegetable dishes, seven meat dishes and two soups, and they all smelled so good.

“Mom, dad made the dinner tonight!”

Tianci blinked at Hua Qiyue, and Hua Qiyue nodded back at him and said, “I know, Princess Qianyang isn’t feeling so well, and she doesn’t have a good appetite, so Prince Nan cooked her this meal!”

Hua Qiyue’s words eased Princess Qianyang’s hatred a little bit.

Princess Qianyang saw the dinner table. She was startled to find that those dishes were indeed what she liked. Yun Shimo nodded his head too and said, “Qiyue is right. I did cook all these dishes.”

Princess Qianyang rejoiced over that. “Honey, you are so nice to me!”
