"It's this Young Miss," Miss Tu Shan Yaya said boisterously, downing a bowl and wiping the wine stains from her lips. "Human, thank you for today's matter."
"I merely found that Black Fox Niangniang unpleasant; there's no need to dwell on it," Xiao Se smiled faintly, his gaze sweeping around. "Besides, your Tu Shan Clan's nature isn't bad; at least in my eyes, it's far stronger than these so-called Righteous Path sects."
He left behind a baffling remark, then turned and departed.
"He's really a strange person, isn't he? You agree, right, Elder Sister?" Miss Tu Shan Yaya looked innocently at Miss Tu Shan Honghong.
Miss Tu Shan Honghong did not reply, her gaze thoughtfully fixed on Xiao Se's departing back, wondering what she was thinking.
Just then, Dongfang Qinlan walked over, holding a skewer of roasted meat. She ate as she spoke, "Little fox, what did my brother-in-law say to you just now?"
"Little fox..." Miss Tu Shan Yaya's lips twitched, and a large hashtag appeared on her beautiful forehead.
"Sister Yaya, calm down, calm down," Tu Shan Rongrong, standing nearby, advised with a gentle smile. Since the other party called Xiao Se brother-in-law, it must be Dongfang Qinlan, the Second Young Miss of the Oriental Spirit Clan. In this area, it was best for the Tu Shan Clan not to conflict with the Oriental Spirit Clan.
"Rongrong, don't interfere. Today, I'm going to teach this little yellow-haired girl a lesson," Miss Tu Shan Yaya rolled up her sleeves and pointed at Dongfang Qinlan. "Little brat, if you dare, state your name."
"I'm a child, not a little brat! I'm Dongfang Qinlan, and I'm warning you, and all of you," Dongfang Qinlan tossed aside the remaining wooden skewer, put her hands on her hips, and scanned Miss Tu Shan Honghong, Miss Tu Shan Yaya, and Tu Shan Rongrong with a 'dignified' expression. "Don't have designs on my brother-in-law; he belongs to my Elder Sister."
From the very beginning, Dongfang Qinlan had intentionally observed the guests, discovering that Xiao Se had only spoken a few words with the Patriarch of the Wangquan family, and had spent the longest time with the Tu Shan Clan, which caused Dongfang Qinlan to worry.
She worried that her brother-in-law would be seduced by the fox spirits of the Tu Shan Clan.
Miss Tu Shan Honghong and Tu Shan Rongrong were stunned upon hearing this, and a thoughtful glint appeared in their eyes simultaneously; they said nothing more.
However, Miss Tu Shan Yaya, upon hearing Dongfang Qinlan's words, showed a hint of mischief at the corner of her lips. "I didn't realize you're so protective despite your young age. Could it be... that you've fallen for Xiao Se?"
"Fallen for Xiao Se..." Dongfang Qinlan's eyes were vacant, as she recalled the day Xiao Se rescued her from the dark space and the moment she first saw his familiar face. A blush instantly appeared on her pretty face, growing deeper until even her neck was tinged with pink.
Could it be that she had truly fallen for her own brother-in-law?
Seeing Dongfang Qinlan's flushed face, Miss Tu Shan Yaya was momentarily stunned. She had only said it casually, to get back at the little loli who had spoken so wildly, never expecting it to actually be true. She then declared loudly, "That's true; not only is Xiao Se's strength unmatched, but his appearance is also outstanding. Even I'm a little moved! It's perfectly normal for you, little sister, to like him, but he's your brother-in-law, how can you...?"
By the end of her sentence, Miss Tu Shan Yaya covered her red lips, feigning a look of deep sorrow.
"You... you just wait for me!" For the first time, Dongfang Qinlan lost a verbal sparring match to a 'peer.' Her pretty face flushed crimson, and with tears in her eyes, she ran away.
"Sister Yaya, you went too far just now, didn't you? How could you make the little girl cry!" Tu Shan Rongrong whispered, watching Dongfang Qinlan's disappearing back.
"I... I also didn't expect her to actually like her own brother-in-law, and she's so young..." Miss Tu Shan Yaya said with a guilty expression.
It was night!
The moon was like a silver disk, and stars filled the sky.
Due to the strong Gu Feng wedding customs here, all guests were arranged to stay in various courtyards within Shenhuo Mountain Manor. The Tu Shan Clan was also accommodated, and with Xiao Se's deterrence from earlier in the day, no one dared to express dissatisfaction.
Inside the bridal chamber.
Xiao Se lifted Dongfang Huaizhu's veil and drank the cross-cupped wine with her. Just as he was about to complete the final step, he suddenly sensed a familiar Qi from outside the room.
"What's wrong?" Dongfang Huaizhu, whose face had just been flushed by Xiao Se's skillful actions, asked in confusion.
"It seems a guest has arrived," Xiao Se smiled faintly.
"Then go and return quickly." Since there was no anger in Xiao Se's tone, Dongfang Huaizhu knew the visitor was not an enemy, and thus relaxed.
"Thank you, wife. I'll make it up to you later," Xiao Se kissed Dongfang Huaizhu's forehead, then rose, straightened his clothes, and walked out of the room.
"Is there something you need, Miss Tu Shan Honghong?" Xiao Se smiled, looking at the slender and tall Miss Tu Shan Honghong.
"I didn't disturb you, did I?" Miss Tu Shan Honghong glanced behind Xiao Se; the room light was still on.
"It's fine, just say what you need to," Xiao Se said with a faint smile.
"How do you plan to deal with that Black Fox Niangniang?" Miss Tu Shan Honghong asked Xiao Se.
"You want her?" Xiao Se spread his right hand, and a translucent golden fire bottle, condensed from exotic flames, appeared out of thin air.
"Damn human, let me out! I won't let you off!"
"Miss Tu Shan Honghong, you've fallen; you're actually colluding with a human..."
Black Fox Niangniang's venomous voice continuously emanated from the fire bottle.
"She was, after all, once a part of my Tu Shan Clan. If possible, spare her life. Of course, if you insist on killing her, I can do nothing, as she has committed so many evil deeds," Miss Tu Shan Honghong sighed softly.
"To be honest, I originally intended to kill her directly, but since you're pleading for her, then I'll help you out." As he spoke, a dense golden halo emanated from Xiao Se's body, and a ten-foot-tall angelic phantom appeared behind him. The angel had six wings on its back, a beautiful physique, like a Heavenly Immortal, to be admired from afar but not defiled.
"Angelic Domain—Purification."
Xiao Se murmured, and the angelic phantom's jade hands clasped together, enveloping Black Fox Niangniang, covering her with flames carrying a golden halo.
"Ah!"
The next moment, Black Fox Niangniang's extremely shrill screams emanated from the flames. Fortunately, Xiao Se had isolated the sound with his Soul power beforehand, otherwise, it would have caused a huge commotion.
"This is..." Miss Tu Shan Honghong was astonished. In her gaze, she saw the darkness covering Black Fox Niangniang's body dissipating at a visible speed. In an instant, large expanses of Black Fox Niangniang's fair skin appeared.
After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Xiao Se exhaled a long breath. The angelic phantom, along with the golden flames, was absorbed back into his body. Black Fox Niangniang's extremely voluptuous, fair body came into view.
"Hmm, hmm, her figure's not bad," Xiao Se nodded continuously as he scrutinized her up and down.
"Despicable human, you actually..." Black Fox Niangniang twisted her legs, covering her pride, her face filled with disbelief. Her dark demonic spirit power had been completely purified, not a trace remained.
