My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

Chapter 118: Ice Lord Appears

Lan Si’s telepathic communication sounded in Lou Mu Yan’s Sea of Consciousness.

She turned her head and rolled her eyes at Lan Si. She couldn’t hear any fear of Ming Xiu in that fox’s voice, and instead, it was full of fun.

“Woman, don’t let other men less than three steps close to you in the future.”

Immediately following, Ming Xiu’s nice, clear, and magnetic voice entered Lou Mu Yan’s Sea of Consciousness.

As soon as she raised her head, she met that pair of deep obsidian-like eyes that carried a faint annoyance.

Lou Mu Yan’s lips rose in a slight curve. This guy sure was petty.

“He’s my teacher, you should resolve the other people first.”

Ming Xiu’s flamboyant and unbridled red robe fluttered gently. He withdrew his attention from Lan Si, not quite in a good mood.

He scanned the seven Sword Sovereigns and two Transformation Stage Demon Cultivators who didn’t dare act rashly anymore, “Take out your trump cards and use your all to fight against This Highness. If you win, the Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal is yours.”

That tone was as presumptuous as it gets, and as arrogant as it gets.

“HAHA! Interesting.”

Suddenly, a burst of laughter came from outside the cave and the sound grew closer and closer, until finally, it was deafening. Several Sword King Stage pupils covered their ears in pain.

Lou Mu Yan’s Mental Power in her Sea of Consciousness formed a cyclone and whirled, suppressing the curse-like voice that carried an intense pressure as much as possible. She cast her solemn gaze towards the three standing figures that suddenly appeared in the sky within the cave.

The leader was an elegant-looking young man and behind him was a woman in yellow clothes and a masked man in cyan clothes.

“Tier 8 Demon Cultivator.” Lou Mu Yan’s eyes sank.

The arrival of the three Demon Cultivators made the people and Demonic Beasts stop their battles. Several Sword Sovereigns were shocked when they scanned the man’s cultivation base.

“Greetings to Ice Lord.” The two Demon Cultivators who had besieged Ming Xiu were startled for a moment when seeing the three Demons, clearly also a little unexpecting, but they didn’t dare hesitate and immediately stepped forward and bowed.

The leading elegant man held a feather fan with a gentle, cultured, bookish temperament. He simply appeared to have no association at all to a Transformation Stage Demon Cultivator.

His eyes were indifferent, but with a casual sweep, it made people feel a chill.

“Whoever has the Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal, take it out. This Monarch will take it.” His tone was light, as if he was simply talking about something unimportant.

Currently, the Sword Sovereigns of the Ten Distinguished Clans that were in mid-air all landed and retreated to the side. This scholarly and refined-looking Demon Cultivator was an entire Stage higher than them. They simply didn’t dare make any moves.

“What big talk. What if This Highness says no?” There was a chill in Ming Xiu’s voice, but the arrogance didn’t abate.

Hearing what Monarch Ming said, Ye Zhan and Lan Si glanced at each other and said nothing.

The scholarly and refined-looking Ice Lord was taken aback for a moment, then sneered: “Only a human Sword Sovereign strength cultivator and you dare to call yourself This Highness in front of This Monarch, how interesting.”

“Interesting? This Highness actually finds it boring.” There was absolutely no fear in Ming Xiu’s eyes, as if the difference in cultivation base between them was nothing.

“Good! You have personality. I like it.” The Ice Lord scanned Ming Xiu with interest. Not only did he not get angry, but he also showed some appreciation, “Take off your mask and let This Monarch have a look. If you look handsome and beautiful and is to This Monarch’s liking, then This Monarch wouldn’t mind rewarding you with the Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal.”

“…” Lou Mu Yan felt constant cold air overflow from Ming Xiu’s body, and she couldn’t help but twitch the corners of her lips. So it appeared that this Demonic Beast was gay.

“This Highness still lacks a flying mount. The descendant of the Ancient Ice Luan1 can make do.” There was a chill in the deep black eyes of Ming Xiu, and a clear and devilishly captivating laugh sounded from his lips: “What do you think of such?”

The smile in the Ice Lord’s eyes slowly vanished and it was replaced by a piece of icy coldness.

This devilishly captivating man didn’t only know that he was the descendant of the Ancient Ice Luan, but he also wanted to make him his mount. What big talk it was. This also made anger he had never felt before rise in him.

[Gasp!] The man and woman behind the Ice Lord, and the two Demon Cultivators couldn’t help sucking in a deep breath when they heard Ming Xiu’s words.

This human Sword Master was truly bold. The Ice Lord might look extremely bookish on the surface, but he had a very cruel and changeable temperament.

Currently, in their eyes, Ming Xiu was no doubt equivalent to a dead person.

“If you want to take This Monarch as a mount, then take out some skill and let’s have a look. This Monarch actually wants to take you back for Dual Cultivation. Such a beauty is rare.” The Ice Lord had coldness in his eyes, but his mouth was extremely cheap.

“This place is too small. How about we go out to fight?” Ming Xiu didn’t care about other people’s life or death, but he was afraid that the battle with this Tier 8 Demon Cultivator would affect Lou Mu Yan and her elder brother.

The Ice Lord glanced at the human cultivators below and chuckled: “It’s not a good problem to be soft-hearted. You will have to change it later after following This Monarch.”

“This Highness is too lazy to argue with a bird like you. Come fight!” Ming Xiu’s eyes were stained with a thick layer of battle intent. Ever since he advanced, he always wanted to fight against a Sword Venerable human or Demon, and this stinky bird just so happened to send itself to the door.

After vaguely exchanging a glance with Lou Mu Yan, with a swish, Ming Xiu turned into a red stream of light and shot straight to the cave entrance.

“Woman, be careful. Wait for This Highness to return.” As the red light disappeared into the cave, Lou Mu Yan also received Ming Xiu’s telepathic words.

She furrowed her brows, her expression revealing slight worry. It was really hard to predict the outcome between Ming Xiu who was at Middle-Phase Sword Sovereign cultivation base, and a Demon Cultivator at Initial-Phase Tier 8.josei

That Ice Lord wasn’t an ordinary Demonic Beast—he was the same as Mo Yan, a King-Class Demonic Beast. Although his bloodline was slightly inferior to the Spirit Devourer, but he was definitely still powerful.

The Ice Lord saw Ming Xiu disappear in the blink of an eye, and his lips displayed some interest. In a flash, he also turned into a cyan-blue light and disappeared from the cave.

The remaining one man and one woman looked at each other. This time they invited the Ice Lord to take the Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal, yet who knew that the whimsical Ice Lord would actually become interested in a human man. But they didn’t dare pull teeth from a wild tiger.

“Mo Yan, who do you think is stronger, Ming Xiu or that Ice Lord?” Lou Mu Yan asked telepathically.

Mo Yan lifted his eyelids, and his voice was still faint: “Should be Ming Xiu.”

Lou Mu Yan chuckled, and her tone carried a sense of teasing: “That bird might not be interested in Ming Xiu after seeing you, Mo Yan. Gays could communicate better between the same race.”

“Idiot woman.” Mo Yan couldn’t help but curse for the first time, then closed his eyes and ignored Lou Mu Yan. This woman really deserved a beating.

“Pfft!” Lou Mu Yan liked to watch the indifferent Mo Yan’s face change the most and couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Sky-Swallowing Python, aside from the man in red who obtained the Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal, did those two people also obtain it?” The beautiful, yellow-clothed woman who followed the Ice Lord raised her pretty wrist lightly and pointed her finger in Ye Zhan and Lan Si’s direction.

The feminine Demon Cultivator nodded and looked at the two with greed in his eyes, “They both grabbed a piece each.”

The woman showed a gorgeous smile on her face and exchanged a glance with the cyan-clothed, masked man beside her. Then they both shot directly out towards Ye Zhan and Lan Si.

Meanwhile, after the Ice Lord left, the pressure that oppressed the Demonic Beasts below also dissipated. They roared and started biting and pouncing at the pupils of the Ten Distinguished Clans again.

Lou Mu Yan was curious about the battle between Ming Xiu and the Ice Lord so she raised her foot, wanting to follow them. Yet who knew that after a few steps, several men in black rushed in from the outside.

Suddenly, she felt an inexplicable sense of ominousness rise in her heart. The killing aura of these people were too heavy, and it didn’t feel like they were here to contend for the Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal.

Sure enough, the men looked around the cave once, and when they saw her, their eyes displayed endless killing aura, then charged open a gap to surround her.

¹the Luan is a type of bird related to the Phoenix (and looks like one). It’s translated as ‘fabulous bird’, but I’ll leave it as Luan.
