“Brother…” Yanyan’s pleasantly surprised voice immediately echoed from within.

Soon after, there was a spate of fragrance as Yanyan’s well-developed and soft body came rushing out as she threw herself into Yang Dingtian’s embrace.

…

“Darling, what exactly happened?” Yang Dingtian said, “Tell me every detail bit by bit.”

Right now, Yang Dingtian was seated on the ground while Yanyan was seated horizontally on his legs with her face was buried in his chest. After hearing Yang Dingtian’s question, her voice went soft as she said, “Yesterday, after you left, Tang Xin came cursing. She said such unbearable things, and I couldn’t beat her with words. But seeing that her brother, Tang Li, was dead, I didn’t want to be calculative with her. Then afterward, she began to slander you, saying that it wasn’t your talent that helped you to breakthrough over ten classes in five days but because you used some evil Yin Yang Great Ritual. Saying that you took the yin and nourished your yang. Saying you slept with women in order to break through.”

“Silly girl, if she was just talking, then just let her talk.” Yang Dingtian then asked, “Afterwards?”

“But, she said you didn’t just take my mystic qi. You even too Sister Ningning’s mystic qi and… and mother’s…” Yanyan was trembling while her voice was filled with resentment.

Yang Dingtian was instantly enraged.

“That bitch, she deserved to die!”

It was fine if she slandered Yang Dingtian, but she actually slandered Madam Ximen. She was Yang Dingtian’s senior and Ximen Wuya’s wife, who was like his master’s wife, who Yang Dingtian treated like a mother figure in this world even though they were both very young.

Moreover, Tang Xin’s rumor was too vicious. Madam Ximen had preserved her chastity for no one else other than Ximen Wuya. Tarnishing her reputation in this way was no different from killing her.

In terms of morality, it would destroy Yang Dingtian’s reputation, forcing him to wear a label of incest. If this accusation was proven, Yang Dingtian would be completely ostracized by everyone and never would be able to rise up again, let alone become the city lord of Cloud Heaven City.

“When mother heard of this rumor, she immediately vomited blood and fainted.” Yanyan spoke furiously, “I was so angry at that moment and wished I could kill Tang Xin with a single blade.”

“That bitch should have died a thousand times, ten thousand times,” Yang Dingtian spoke coldly. “Fortunately, she is dead. Otherwise, I will certainly dismember her into thousands of pieces.”

Subsequently, Yang Dingtian desperately tried to suppress his anger as he spoke with a gentle voice, “Darling, what happened afterward?”

“Afterwards, many people gave us peculiar looks, so I didn’t even want to stay in this place any longer. I, Sister Ningning, and mother have already discussed that once you are back, we will move out and stay at Big Brother’s Black Blood Castle. We will wait until next year after you defeat those bastard dogs in Cloud Heaven City. We will drive them all out before we move back in. I cannot even bear to stay a single day with all those disgusting and filthy people.” Yanyan trembled as she spoke. “I was curious in the past as to why father had to be so ruthless to them. Now, I finally understand that father was actually too soft at that time. He should have banished them all.”

Yang Dingtian reassured her. “Don’t worry. Wait till I am the Cloud Heaven City Lord. I will cleanse Cloud Heaven City of all these filthy people. Afterward? What happened later?”

“Afterwards, I got up from the bed and left Cloud Heaven City early this morning before the sun was even out. I wanted to go fetch you midway. Firstly, I was afraid that Tang Xin would come cursing again. Secondly… I missed you. You had just left for one day, and I couldn’t help but miss you…” Yanyan said with a shy expression, “Furthermore, I wanted to tell you about my thoughts of moving to Black Blood Castle immediately.”

“Silly girl…” Yang Dingtian’s heart instantly melted. He then said softly, “Alright, after this matter is over, we will move over to Black Blood Castle immediately and return next year. Afterward?”

Yanyan replied, “Afterwards, when I just walked out a few miles, the sky wasn’t even bright yet. All of a sudden, Tang Xin came rushing over. She looked like a mad person and desperately brandished her sword to kill me. Then, I began to fight her, but because my cultivation had been declining all these years, I was even losing to her. But she was very strange like she was berserk and was much more formidable than before. I was almost injured by her. Hence, I had to resist with all my strength. But suddenly, she became like a zombie. The sword in her hand fell to the ground, and she pounced towards my sword with her whole body. I tried my best to pull back, but it all happened so quickly, so I was too late. The sword pierced into her body, and she fell dead, giving me a complete shock. I really didn’t want to kill her. Soon after, Ximen Ju and Tang Bozhao appeared.”

In this instant, Yang Dingtian could feel a strong smell of conspiracy.

“Darling, when Tang Xin rushed out and tried to kill you, what kind of expression did she have? Was it especially resentful?” Yang Dingtian asked.

Yanyan tried to recall and shook her head while replying, “She wasn’t. She looked like she was crazy and scared as well. It was that kind of inconsolable and appalling kind of scared.”

“Did your sword thrust in deep?” Yang Dingtian asked.

“I don’t know, but when the sword thrust in, I immediately pulled it back out. I really didn’t want to kill her,” Yanyan replied.

This truly was just like the saying “The tree wants to remain still, but the wind doesn’t allow it to!”

(TL note: Similar to the saying, in this case, it means that Yang Dingtian didn’t want to go provoke anyone, but his enemies wouldn’t let him have any peace)

Yang Dingtian’s sudden rise completely smashed their plan for letting Qing Shaobai become the City Lord of Cloud Heaven City. Now that they finally made their move, it was an unexpectedly despicable method.

What’s more, they even threw in Tang Xin’s life.

Tang Xin might not have much value, but she was still Ximen Ju’s fiancee and Tang Bozhao’s daughter. It was illogical to let her die just to set up a conspiracy. Something must have happened in the midst of it.

But, what exactly did the opposition want? Yang Qingtian believed that he would get the answer soon because Yang Yan was waiting for Yang Dingtian to negotiate terms with him.

“Big baby…,” Yanyan suddenly called out.

Yang Dingtian was stunned for a moment. Why did this lass suddenly change the way she addressed him?

“I will say something, but you cannot be angry,” Yanyan spoke prudently.

“Say it. If it is very silly, then I will still be angry,” Yang Dingtian laughed and replied.

“If they want to use me to get you to do something that will put you in danger, you cannot promise them.” Yanyan said, “Don’t worry, they will not dare to kill me. That bastard Qing Huaiyu still has rapacious designs on me, and he is all of these people’s master. Hence, they will not dare to touch me and will at most lock me up. If that is the case, you have to leave Cloud Heaven City immediately and come back to pick me up in one year… Ah…”

Before Yanyan could even finish speak, she let out a soft cry because her butt had been spanked.

“Lock you up for one year? Impossible, I cannot let that happen.” Yang Dingtian spoke gently, “Yanyan, trust me okay? Let me make the decision.”

“Okay…” Yanyan spoke with a soft voice and buried her head in Yang Dingtian’s chest, quietly listening to his heartbeat.

“Yang Dingtian. How did you feel after seeing your ex-wife?” Yanyan asked suddenly with a strange voice.

Yang Dingtian felt a cold shiver as he said, “I beg you to never use the term ‘ex-wife’, okay? Every time I hear that, my body shivers. After this meeting, I realized that she isn’t a human. She is like a machine that is clad in beautiful human skin. Every minute I stay with her is torture. Unlike you, every minute and second with you is just like paradise.”

Before Yang Dingtian finished speaking, Yanyan held onto his neck and gave a sweet little kiss.

Yang Dingtian held onto her soft and well-developed body, enveloping her small lips and giving her a french kiss.

“Yang Dingtian, in the other world, you must surely be a bad boy who used sweet talk to tease girls. But after coming to this world and experiencing so many things, you must have been pressured so much.” Yanyan laughed delicately.

“Yes, so I need your sweet little mouth, your ample breasts, and round butt to help me recover.” Yang Dingtian laughed.

…

“Alright now. Yanyan, I am going to meet that group of vicious wolves and see what they want,” Yang Dingtian said.

“Yeah…,” Yanyan spoke in a soft voice. If it was in the past, she would definitely order Yang Dingtian to do things this way or that way. But now, she merely voiced her soft approval.

“Darling, I will certainly save you from the grasp of these vicious wolves. No matter the price…” Yang Dingtian kissed Yanyan’s forehead and placed her on the bed before walking out of the stone room.

Just as he walked out of the metal doors, Yanyan suddenly exclaimed from behind.

“Yang Dingtian, I love you!”

*****

“Yang Yan, say it. What do you guys want?” Yang Dingtian immediately went to the main topic.

Hearing Yang Dingtian addressing him by his name, Yang Yan’s eyes instantly went cold as he replied, “Yang Dingtian, mind your mouth. Don’t think I am afraid of killing you.”

“It is effortless for you to kill me, and you truly want to kill me too. But you need a proper reason to do so.” Yang Dingtian continued, “Say it then. What do you want? I might be weak, but if you want to negotiate, I reckon that I am the most suitable person.”

“Impartial enforcement, sentenced for execution.” Yang Yan spoke with a cold voice, “The Cloud Heaven City’s Laws are paramount.”

Hearing this statement, Yang Dingtian truly wanted to laugh out loudly.

The opposition was mentioning laws here and there, but who didn’t know that laws were meant for those weaklings? Take Qing Shaobai for example. Didn’t he kill enough innocent lives in the Northwest Qin Clan? Why didn’t he suffer any punishment? Wasn’t it because Ximen Wuya wasn’t around? If he was still around, no matter how esteemed Tang Xin’s status was, if Yanyan had really killed her, would Yang Yan dare to say words like execution?

“Stop joking, Grand Elder Yang Yan. Do you look like someone who abides by the laws?” Yang Dingtian spoke enthusiastically.

“Impudent!” Yang Yan was infuriated as he gave his warning. “Yang Dingtian, if you are rude again, then don’t blame me for being ruthless. My endurance has a limit.”

Yang Dingtian looked at him with cold eyes and didn’t speak a word to plead for leniency. He just waited for Yang Yan to speak.

Seeing that Yang Dingtian wasn’t going along with his pace, Yang Yan had this cold expression while his eyes turned dark. A few minutes later, he turned and spoke while facing away from Yang Dingtian. “Yanyan might be at odds with me, but she is still my junior. She might have killed Tang Xin, but the dead have already passed, and City Lord Ximen had given a new lease of life to my Cloud Heaven City. Seeing that Ximen Yanyan is his only descendant, how can I bear to execute her? After all, she once called me grandfather.”

Yang Dingtian was sneering in his heart, but he didn’t rudely interrupt Yang Yan again. Otherwise, he might be angered because of shame.

“Ximen Yanyan can live, but she has to repay her crimes with meritorious service,” Yang Yan said and turned to face Yang Dingtian.

“How can she do that?” Yang Dingtian asked.

“She will leave you and remarry the Young Lord of the Qin Clan in order to guarantee peace for Cloud Heaven City for the next few dozen years,” Yang Yan said. “The news of City Lord Ximen being extinguished has been made known to the world. The various influential forces in Cloud Heaven City are becoming restless and are planning to revolt. The Northwest Qin Clan is incredibly powerful. If Cloud Heaven City and the Qin Clan can be joined in matrimony, then those influential forces will definitely be suppressed.”

“No way!” Yang Dingtian spoke bluntly, “Demand something else!”

“There is no room for negotiation. I am giving an order and not being greedy.” Yang Yan spoke in an indifferent tone, “In short, if Ximen Yanyan wants to live, she shall remarry Qin Huaiyu. Otherwise, she will be hanged. With me in Cloud Heaven City, no one shall even think of overturning this verdict.”

Yang Dingtian spoke in a cold voice, “Is that so?”

“Of course!” Yang Yan replied indifferently.

“Farewell!” Yang Dingtian immediately turned and left.

Seeing Yang Dingtian leave so decisively, Yang Yan was astonished.

*****

After Yang Dingtian left, he brought along Ximen Ningning, Lü’er, and Madam Ximen who vomited blood again. They left Cloud Heaven City immediately.

Two hours later!

Yang Dingtian and Ximen Lie led 2500 Black Blood Cavalry and stood outside the city.

All of a sudden, the entire Cloud Heaven City was in a complete uproar!

The Black Blood Cavalry was Cloud Heaven City’s largest military force. They only listened to orders from two individuals. One of them was the Cloud Heaven City Lord, and the other was the Black Blood Cavalry Commander!

No one would have expected Yang Dingtian and Ximen Lie to sever all ties and directly use the most violent military force.

Ximen Lie was mounted on the horse as he yelled out to the top of the city wall, “Release Ximen Yanyan immediately. Otherwise, we will level Cloud Heaven City!”

At this exact moment, a bird landed on Ningning’s shoulder. It was one of the birds that Ningning sent out to Mt. Cloud Heaven to investigate Tang Xin’s death.

That bird came beside Ningning’s ear and chirped continuously in the bird language so that only Ningning could understand.

All of a sudden, Ningning’s expression changed, revealing a disbelieving expression.
