Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 424 - 420: Kissing You Amidst the Clamor

Because there are many Great Dao paths in cultivation, there are also many shackles that need to be broken through.

Xia Feng was not in a hurry. With the presence of the Dream Realm Pearl, he was making rapid progress. Even a little effort can achieve success one day.

Early this morning, Xia Feng and Xia Tianming arrived in the northern area of the city.

As soon as he stepped into the arena, he sensed many malicious gazes falling upon him.

Xia Feng masked the impatience in his eyes, looked up, and saw Li Qingyu sitting in the highest judge’s area.

The registrar he met yesterday stood behind her, his tongue already mangled, with a deep scar left on his mouth.

As soon as he saw Xia Feng, he became excited.

Then he communicated something to Li Qingyu through gesturing.

After that, Xia Feng saw that Li Qingyu’s expression grew darker, and her eyes turned cold.

"Qingxue, was the man beside you yesterday the one who injured someone in the city?"

"Do you know the rules within Divine King City?"

Li Qingxue’s expression was a bit displeased. Just as she was about to say something, Xia Feng cut in beside her.

"Oh, isn’t this the main character here."

"What, really thinking of the three visits to the thatched cottage?"

"Invite once, someone else tries to pull me in once, and when I returned home, I still see your messages."

"You really do have some patience."

Li Qingyu’s face didn’t look good, clearly remembering being repeatedly rejected.

But looking at Xia Feng’s realm and age, she held back her anger and said coldly, "Boy, you injured someone in the city yesterday, which violates the rules of Divine King City."

"Normally, you would be thrown into the Divine Prison for punishment, but I see your unique talent and am reluctant to let you waste away, so I’m willing to give you a chance."

"Serve me loyally, and I can grant you the identity of a Divine Guard, erasing your punishment for yesterday’s incident."

Xia Feng sneered, "You truly have no shame, unwilling to give up until you achieve your goals."

Li Qingyu thought he was about to yield. Her expression softened slightly, and her voice wasn’t as cold as before.

"Boy, one must recognize when to adapt. Because you have some talent, I have given you opportunity after opportunity. You’d better agree to my invitation before I change my mind."

"Otherwise..."

Li Qingxue couldn’t hold back anymore: "Otherwise, what will you do?"

"Li Qingyu, I’ve put up with you for a long time."

"Initially, you arranged Elder Li to test me, and after I defeated him, you manipulated public opinion to ground me."

"Later, when I was focusing on cultivation and didn’t want to deal with your manipulative schemes, you still wouldn’t leave me alone."

"What exactly do you want? Are you trying to build connections everywhere to rebel within the Celestial Sword Divine Domain?"

The onlookers around pretended not to see anything, even wishing to block out the sound with divine power, hoping not to get involved when these two started arguing.

Li Qingyu’s face didn’t look good; her gaze icy and resentful as she looked at Li Qingxue.

"Ha? What do I want to do?"

With so many eyes around, she ultimately held back the words she’d like to say to Li Qingxue and instead continued coldly, "Boy, think for yourself."

"In this Divine Domain, apart from me, no one else can cover for you in this matter."

As she said this, a number of Divine Guards dressed in golden armor and wielding Divine Swords appeared around Xia Feng, ready to seize him if he refused.

Li Qingxue’s anger was almost uncontrollable: "I’d like to see who dares to touch him today!"

The surrounding Divine Guards seemed not to hear, still pressuring Xia Feng.

Xia Feng clicked his tongue, tilted his head slightly, and suddenly laughed.

Li Qingyu immediately felt uneasy, coldly questioning, "What are you laughing at?"

Xia Feng continued laughing heartily: "I’m laughing at your stupidity. Yesterday, where did that registrar handle the registration in the arena?"

Li Qingyu didn’t understand but still answered, "Naturally, in the arena... inside..."

She seemed to realize something, turning with a grim look to glare at the registrar, ignoring his frantic gestures of explanation.

That’s right, inside the arena is the only place in Divine King City where fighting is allowed.

Here, Xia Feng could cut his tongue or even take his life, and he would have no way to seek redress.

This is a rule of the arena, and Li Qingyu had been so focused on trying to catch Xia Feng’s error, she overlooked such a significant loophole.

Moreover, she exposed her control over the Divine Guard, which could be detrimental if noticed by others.

Li Qingyu’s face grew darker as she thought, her gaze towards Xia Feng becoming more unfriendly.

Not willing to give up, she asked one last time, "Boy, are you really unwilling to work for me?"

"If you join my team and sever ties with Li Qingxue, I can guarantee you a spot in the Secret Realm."

"You wouldn’t need to compete with anyone else here."

Xia Feng sneered, "Put away your attempts to draw me in and that unsightly face."

"I’ll secure a spot for myself, no need for your insincere charity."

"What you’ve secretly plotted and taken away, I’ll retrieve for the rightful owner."

After saying this, he turned and changed his demeanor, smiling at Li Qingxue: "I’m off to the arena!"

"Cheer for me down here, watch your husband win first place for you."

Li Qingxue felt a bit moved, knowing Xia Feng was making a big scene for her sake.

Otherwise, given his character, Xia Feng would prefer to quietly reap the rewards without flaunting his strength.

Li Qingxue pursed her lips, a touch of pink in her eyes, feeling the urge to throw caution to the wind amidst the thronging arena.

Then Xia Feng saw Li Qingxue tiptoe to kiss his chin, her face flushed, softly saying, "Good luck, my dear."

Afterward, she seemed more embarrassed, rushing off to sit in another part of the judges’ area.

The previously bustling scene quieted for a moment before erupting in even louder chatter.

Li Qingyu, her face cloudy, remarked, "I see now why you repeatedly refused my invitations—so you’re Li Qingxue’s lover."

"I had no idea what bewitching methods she used to make you so loyal to her."
