She has come a long way. Orphaned, born a weakling, and being the infamous good-for-nothing of Azure Dragon Country. Gu Ruoyun was the shame of the proud Gu household. Falsely accused of a crime she did not commit, she was betrayed by her family and beaten to death by her own grandfather. But life took a fateful twist on that very day — she was revived. Newly awakened, she is now the Master of an ancient treasure that resides within her body. Precious cultivation pills, treasures beyond her wildest imagination and spiritual beasts, all within her grasp... She is the apple of the eye of all under the heavens, including that of a mysterious, handsome man. Now she only has one goal — to conquer the world.
"And…"
Leng Yanfeng’s voice paused, his already cold eyes growing frostier, "I won’t allow anyone insult junior Shi Yun!"
"Haha!"
Zuo Shangchen laughed madly. His phoenix eyes slanted upwards slightly. His eyes were full of scornful humor.
"You want to defend your junior Shi Yun, that’s your problem, none of my business. But, you may not touch this girl! Don’t say that I didn’t warn you. If you touch her, there is one person who’ll never forgive you!"
Gu Ruoyun was astonished. She looked at Zuo Shangchen, slightly puzzled. What did he mean by that?
"Hmph!" Leng Yanfeng snorted. He rolled up his sleeves and stood up. His cold face had on a very sour expression.
"Zuo Shangchen, we don’t need you to stick your nose into our Azure Dragon Country’s business! Also, we, Azure Dragon Country and the Vermillion Bird Country are not on good terms. What business do you have with your reckless visit?"
Zuo Shangchen pouted. Surely he could not say that his coming here was purely out of curiosity about Gu Shengxiao’s beloved little sister? If that man knew that he had sneaked his way here, he would immediately rush over to cut him down.
When he thought of this, he squinted his eyes slightly and smiled charmingly.
"Don’t you worry Your Royal Highness. I will pay His Majesty, the Emperor of Azure Dragon Country, a visit in due time."
At that moment, Leng Yanfeng was shooting out an endless stream of cold air. His ice-like eyes looked at Zuo Shangchen’s evil face and he said, poker-faced, "Then, I will look forward to your arrival at the royal palace!"
When he finished saying this, he gave Gu Ruoyun one last glance.
"Gu Ruoyun, if junior Shi Yun fancies that man, then nobody on the planet can fight with a lady as lovely as she. Becoming my concubine is your only choice. Think about it carefully. I look forward to our answer."
When he finished, he did not waste any more words. He waved his sleeve and left, leaving behind an ice-cold silence.
"Tsk tsk, Little Yun’er, I didn’t think that your standards would be so low. You fancy Leng Yanfeng, a man with no morals and no looks?" Zuo Shangchen curled his lips into a smile. He had completely forgotten that Gu Ruoyun had only met him for the first time.
That was why, upon hearing the words "Little Yun’er", she could not help but shiver, her whole body feeling cold.
"Do I know you?"
She rubbed the tip of her nose, slightly speechless as she asked.
"You don’t know me before, but you’ll know me after," Zuo Shangchen put on a country-toppling smile, his winks like flowing waves."But I have long heard of your name."
He was implying that he had learned of her existence from Gu Shengxiao.
However, Gu Ruoyun had misunderstood him.
"Oh?" Gu Ruoyun raised the corners of her lips and said disapprovingly, "It seems that my reputation has spread far and wide. This good-for-nothing name has already traveled to the Vermillion Bird Country."
At that moment, the corners of Zuo Shangchen’s eyes twitched strongly and he chuckled, "Before this, you were indeed a good-for-nothing. But after your battle with that kid today, I don’t think anybody will call you by that name again. Although your talents are not those of a genius, for the average person, it’s not bad."
"What if I’m a good-for-nothing? What if I’m a genius? No matter what the people call me, it’s none of their business. I don’t have to prove myself."
The girl’s voice brought with it a vicissitude of seeing through the antics of this world. It made Zuo Shangchen unconsciously open his mouth in shock. Suddenly, he remembered the message discovered by Qing Yi, and his phoenix eyes abruptly turned cold.
He never thought that after Shengxiao had left the Gu family, this girl had almost died once. After going through that ordeal, she had no choice but to grow up…
Sadly, Gu Shengxiao was now cultivating in seclusion. He could not convey the message to him. Or else, judging by his character, he would have rushed over immediately and wiped out the Gu family.
