My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

Chapter 516: Ye Qing Han’s Betrothed?

A group of more than a dozen pupils deliberately bypassed the Tier 8 Blood Devouring Ant colony and quickly headed towards the position of the Blood-Devouring Ant Empress.

The leader was a beautiful and charming woman wearing a blue dress.

“The person who rushed into the Tier 8 Blood Devouring Ant colony was Lou Mu Yan of the Eight Extremes Sect right?” A young man behind her asked with uncertainty.

A person beside replied: “She was wearing the Inner Sect uniform of the Eight Extremes Sect. From her appearance, she’s somewhat similar to the person in the crystal ball image. It should be Lou Mu Yan.”

“Lou Mu Yan really deserves to be the peerless genius of the Six Sects. She actually dares to enter the Tier 8 Blood Devouring Ant colony alone. That array method coupled with the spirit flame is such a superb technique.” Another man revealed a little bit of worship in his eyes.

After listening to their words, the leading woman furrowed her brows subconsciously, then said lightly: “She relies too much on her talent and strength, underestimating the Tier 8 Blood Devouring Ants. It’s uncertain whether she could come out alive.”

After hearing her words, the people present were stunned, and those who admired Lou Mu Yan in their hearts didn’t answer her words, just smiling shyly.

A yellow-clothed woman behind her smiled and said: “Yeah! Lou Mu Yan’s nothing more than that. That’s because Young Miss Gǔ didn’t go to the Six Major Sects to cultivate, otherwise how could she be famous.”

“Young Miss Gǔ’s talent is even better than that of Bai Fei Yao of the Heavenly Secret Palace. How could a so called ‘rising star’ like Lou Mu Yan compare to her?” A man beside the yellow-clothed woman smiled and agreed.

Gǔ Ning Meng’s expression was indifferent, and didn’t take the flattery of the two to heart, “Fei Yao has a Wood Communication Spiritual Body, and her talent isn’t inferior to mine. It was just that during the Six Sects’ Grand Competition, her spirit flame was inferior to Lou Mu Yan’s, that’s why she fell for the tricks, otherwise she wouldn’t have lost so wrongfully.”

“I heard that Young Miss Gǔ and Young Miss Bai are sisters who grew up together, is this true?” One of them asked tentatively.

Gǔ Ning Meng nodded: “Fei Yao is my paternal aunt’s daughter and my direct cousin.”

The Bai Clan and the Gǔ Clan had been friends for generations, and many direct lineages had also entered into marriages with each other.

Gǔ Ning Meng and Bai Fei Yao grew up together, and although they were cousins, but their relationship was better than that of sisters, which was why she hated Lou Mu Yan a lot.

Most importantly was that very few people knew that Bai Fei Yao became trash after entering the Holy Purification Pond to cleanse her marrows, but she was one of the few who knew the details.

Bai Fei Yao’s meridians all burst, and although they were repaired, but not only did her cultivation level fall to Initial-Phase Sword Venerable, she also probably couldn’t make progress anymore in the future. She was entirely in a state of semi-madness.

According to Bai Fei Yao, her meridians burst because she couldn’t absorb the spiritual liquid of the Holy Purification Pond, and forcefully used a secret skill to absorb it which caused her meridians to explode. She also insisted that this was because she was harmed by Lou Mu Yan during the battle of the Six Sects.

When Gǔ Ning Meng learnt of this, she didn’t doubt Bai Fei Yao’s words, and also placed Lou Mu Yan as an enemy in her heart, deciding that if she had the opportunity, she would definitely avenge Bai Fei Yao.

Therefore, she was very disgusted with others praising Lou Mu Yan, this enemy.

“Then the relationship between Young Miss Gǔ and Young Miss Bai should be very good.” Someone asked.

“Although we’re not blood related sisters, but our relationship is even better than sisters.” Gǔ Ning Meng’s words gave the pupils of the distinguished clans an understanding.

Bai Fei Yao was Gǔ Ning Meng’s cousin with a very close relationship, but Lou Mu Yan beat Bai Fei Yao in the Grand Competition of the Six Sects before, stealing all the halos and glory.

It was only then that they realised, no wonder Gǔ Ning Meng exuded a hostility when they mentioned Lou Mu Yan.

The yellow-clothed woman who spoke before thought a bit then changed the topic: “Young Miss Gǔ, I heard that your Glacial City is going to unite through marriage with Tian’yuan City. You and the Young City Lord, Ye Qing Han, are already engaged, is this true?”

Bai Fei Yao had lost to Lou Mu Yan, so Gǔ Ning Meng would lose face if this was mentioned too much, therefore she changed the topic to something others envied.

Ye Qing Han, the Young City Lord of Tian’yuan City was one of the most prominent prodigies that suddenly rose to the limelight among the top powers within the past two years.

He wasn’t only a Grade 6 Spirit Beast Tamer, but also a Grade 5 Smith. He was even very handsome and extraordinary, with an outstanding temperament and was a man that many young women of distinguished clans wanted to marry.

Most importantly, behind him stood Tian’yuan City, one of the top forces on Tian’ling Continent.

No matter which distinguished clan united in marriage with Tian’yuan City, it would be extremely beneficial, not to mention Ye Qing Han, himself, was pure and didn’t even have any concubines or mistresses. Who didn’t want to marry such an excelling man?

“Yeah! I also heard about the union through marriage between Tian’yuan City and Glacial City. At first glance, Young Miss Gǔ and Young Lord Ye truly are a match made in Heaven.” Someone said with a smile, expressing their good will.

The other two good-looking women in the team also cast envious glances to Gǔ Ning Meng.

Although Glacial City could be regarded as a first-class force, but they were still very much inferior to Tian’yuan City. Although Gǔ Ning Meng was the daughter of the City Lord of Glacial City, but if she really married the Young City Lord, it could be considered marrying to a higher status.

“This matter isn’t completely settled yet.” The haze in Gǔ Ning Meng’s eyes from Bai Fei Yao’s incident just now was swept away when they mentioned this matter, and there was a smile in her eyes. Obviously, she was very satisfied with Ye Qing Han, this betrothed.

Although the marriage between Tian’yuan City and Glacial City hadn’t yet been confirmed, but Gǔ Ning Meng had been dreaming about Ye Qing Han ever since meeting him, and had already considered him her betrothed.

“Now that the marriage union has already been spread, it’ll be decided sooner or later.” The yellow-clothed woman teased: “Could it be that Young Miss Gǔ doesn’t like Young Lord Ye?”

Gǔ Ning Meng glared sweetly at the woman in yellow, and said shyly: “Darling Ye is very good.”

Just one sentence contained a lot of affection. The people present were all intelligent, and how was it impossible to hear that Gǔ Ning Meng was very satisfied with the Young City Lord.

However, there were also several who pursed their lips inwardly. They had actually heard from some gossip that Young Lord Ye refused to unite in marriage with Glacial City, and wouldn’t marry Gǔ Ning Meng at all—and because of this, he was even in a deadlock with the Tian’yuan City Lord.

Who knew which was true and which was fake.

“Young Miss Gǔ being able to marry Young Lord Ye is truly the envy of many young misses from distinguished clans.” The yellow-clothed woman said with a smile.

Gǔ Ning Meng naturally knew that many women from distinguished clans regarded Ye Qing Han as their most ideal husband. This was also one of the things she was proud of, because Ye Qing Han would be only hers in the future.

Even if the man had a cold attitude towards her, and even refused to unite in marriage with Glacial City, but she didn’t care—either way, it aroused a stronger desire to conquer.

Men with capital and pride didn’t like to use marriage to consolidate their status—she could understand.

[JI JI!!] The group had just walked near the Blood-Devouring Ant Empress’s nest, preparing to attack, when they heard the empress’s sharp cry ring out again.

Then everyone watched many Tier 8 Blood-Devouring Ants crawl out of the nest one after another, madly rushing towards the position where Lou Mu Yan was before.

They turned around and looked over, only to see that the place was surrounded by a sea of flames, and one couldn’t decipher the situation. Who knew if Lou Mu Yan had broken out of the siege, or if those high-level Blood Devouring Ants had killed her.

There was a haze in Gǔ Ning Meng’s eyes. She naturally wished that Lou Mu Yan would be swallowed by the Blood-Devouring Ants, saving her from acting herself.

And it was also by taking advantage of the opportunity when Lou Mu Yan attracted the huge number of high-level Blood-Devouring Ants that she could think of bringing several pupils of distinguished clans together to deal with the Blood Devouring Ant Empress and take its crystal core for her own use.
