Chapter 1029: Dragging The Saintess Into The Mess

“Yiyi…” Liu Suzi’s eyes flashed with rumination. This was definitely the best method; it also guaranteed to prevent the Azure from seeking revenge.

“She doesn’t kill.” She understood Yiyi too well.

“That’s a bad habit and we’ll fix it for her.”

“But… I can’t contact her right now.”

Feiyun only smiled in response.

“I knew it was you, wretched half-demon!” She clenched her fists angrily before releasing a palm strike toward his chest.

He raised his hand shrouded in golden light and stopped the seal.

“Don’t be silly now, I only invited her to my kingdom as a guest, she’s doing just fine.” He wasn’t annoyed by the sudden attack.

She felt much better now knowing Yiyi’s whereabouts. It wasn’t hard for Yiyi to take down this prince, given her status and power.

“I want to meet her right now.” Her eyes became filled with murderous intent.

“Of course, but you need to calm these people first.”

Suzi understood how important this was. The evaluation was a test of a territory’s overall power. If these men were to leave, then there was no point in doing the evaluation.

She calmed these cultivators temporarily and went to the Heavenly Kingdom with Feng Feiyun.

She met Yiyi who was cultivating on top of an island with beautiful trees. The latter had gained a better understanding of the saint affinity.

Her skin was shiny like crystals and surrounded by an illusory spirituality. She stood by the shore to watch the waves and sense the heaven and earth. She channeled her energy in tune with the waves.

She told the two: “Aquamoon Paradise does not interfere with competitions. If I participate in this matter, I’ll be punished by the sect. I do not kill either, there is always a better method to reform even the most heinous villain.”

“Yiyi, I’m finished if you don’t help me this time.” Liu Suzi put on a pitiful expression.

“It’s that serious?” Yiyi frowned.

Suzi nodded: “The eighth prince has done terrible things, raping women without qualms, even a consort of the lord of Sacred Court. Everyone despises him but doesn’t dare to do anything. If you kill him, you will be saving many people, no one will think that you have made a mistake.”

Yiyi pondered for a while before staring at Feiyun: “Feiyun isn’t weaker than me, he can kill this prince.”

“Don’t look at me, I’m not that close with her, why would I offend the Azure?” Feiyun smiled.

“How dare you say this?” Yiyi frowned again and her aura became colder.

Feiyun lamented his idiotic comment and thought: ‘Shit, she thinks we had sex before. If she says something now, everything will be exposed. Do I have to imprison Liu Suzi too? No, everyone saw us leaving together, they’ll suspect me first.’

“Haha, I’m just kidding. Our bond is forged by life-and-death experiences, I would never say no to helping her, not even if it includes walking through an inferno. It’s just that…” Feiyun changed his tune: “I don’t have the same status as you, Saintess, and certainly not a powerful backer. If I kill him, it will cause a calamity for the half-demon alliance and the princess’ clan.”

Liu Suzi found that these two were being rather strange but she was focused on the prince’s matter. She said: “He’s right, Yiyi, you have to help me this time!”

“Sigh, the two of you are teaming up against me. If you care that much about each other, why not be together?” Yiyi complained.

‘Shit.’ Feiyun cursed in his head again.

Liu Suzi’s expression changed as she took a deep breath and said: “Yiyi, what are you saying? Since when do I like this half-demon?”

“Your indecisiveness will only hurt you in the long run.” Yiyi said: “I give you two choices. First, go tell Liu Suhong to give up and let you be together, I will then make an exception and help you kill that prince. I don’t mind being punished if I can see you being happy. Or, Feng Feiyun, you will go with me to kill that prince in order to prove your love. If you’re a real man, at least have this much courage.”

Feiyun rubbed his forehead as if he had a headache. He then turned and left.

“Feng Feiyun, stop right there! What did you tell Yiyi?!” Liu Suzi chased after him.

“What a frustrating couple.” Yiyi watched the two of them and shook her head. She then closed her eyes to meditate again.

As he was walking, he glanced back toward Yiyi and created a soundproof barrier: “What could I have told her? In my opinion, she’s afraid of being punished by her sect so she purposely tried to avoid it. Wasn’t that ridiculous, telling me to split with First Princess. That is not something a saintess should say, she just wants to avoid trouble with Azure too. You don’t need a friend like her.”

Liu Suzi sneered: “Do you think I am a fool? That wasn’t Yiyi’s intention in the slightest, you must have said something to her before. No wonder why she is staying in this high-level realm, what is your scheme? No, I’ll just ask her right now.”

“Fine, I’ll tell you the truth!” He pulled her arm back and earnestly responded: “She is actually experiencing qi deviation so this is her rest time. We shouldn’t bother her, let’s come up with another plan.”

She glared and said: “You think I can’t tell if someone is having qi deviation? Let go.”

“Alright! I told her that I’m actually in love with you.” Feiyun said.

She suddenly stopped and trembled a bit. Her cheeks turned red and her heart beat faster. She twiddled her thumbs and said: “W-hat shamelessness are you spouting?”

“I merely told her the truth. I’ve been in love with you for a long time now, that’s why I’m always there when you needed me and risked my life each time. Well… don’t worry about it.”

She felt her cheeks becoming hot. This was her first time being confessed to in such a direct manner.

A while ago, she would have made mincemeat out of this impudent half-demon. Alas, they have been through many ordeals together, and moreover, she didn’t have the ability to take him down anyway.

She seemed to be several inches shorter. Her fingers gripped her sleeves while cursing in her mind. After a while, she said: “Half-demon, you are so greedy, always wanting more. Take a look in the mirror first before daring to have a crush on me… fix your personality and status…”

She started walking towards Yiyi and continued to curse Feiyun in her mind: ‘Wretched half-demon, how dare you be so shameless, you’re my brother-in-law right now and still have a crush on me? What a frog under the well, I’m not a shameless woman like Liu Suhong…”

“Bam!” She walked face-first into Yiyi.

Yiyi didn’t move and shook her head: “Sigh, what are you mumbling about, Suzi?”

“Nothing!” Suzi rubbed her forehead.

“Have you two talked it through? The first or the second choice?” Yiyi asked.

Feiyun also returned and said: “Saintess, don’t make it hard for the princess. I just came up with an even better plan.”

***

Eight moons rotated around Deep South. Each of them had floating palaces meant for nobles and powerful cultivators.

The moon named Jimo was in the center with a diameter of 6,000 miles. This was Feiyun and Yiyi’s current location.

The two of them traveled as fast as phantoms through the night. Few could actually spot them.

“Why are we rushing this instead of planning prudently?” Yiyi asked as she glided through the air, leaving a virtually indiscernible silvery trail behind.

Feiyun flew in front and smiled: “Once the decision to kill is made, we should do it as fast as possible. Few know about the conflict between the eighth prince and Suzi right now. If we eliminate him tonight, we can contain the aftermath to a minimum. If we wait until the conflict is escalated, Azure will place the blame on Crimson’s cultivators.”

Both of them stopped. The two dressed in white tonight; one was transcending while the other was handsome and full of confidence.

They looked like a pair of immortals as they stood outside one of the palaces.
