Free Web NovelChapter 1407: Chapter 467: Encountering Scum Xi Again
Di Shen resolutely stated.
"No more chances."
Xi Jiuye has no more chances.
Remembering Ye Lingyue’s previous life, when her soul scattered, those eyes filled with despair, Di Shen’s heart, belonging to the Demon Ancestor, a heart that hadn’t ached even when faced with betrayal from a friend, now throbbed slightly.
Why should the woman whom Di Shen couldn’t bear to hurt became nothing but meat on the chopping block when in Xi Jiuye’s hands?
Xi Jiuye, when you chose to let hatred blind you, burying the love she had for you, you lost all chances of redemption.
Whether Ye Lingyue or Ling Yue, from the moment she met Di Shen, she was destined to be his alone.
Whether god or demon, no one in this world can take her away from him.
"My woman, I will protect her well. You better be careful not to slip up, or I wouldn’t mind dealing with you along with Xi Jiuye."
Di Shen cast a sharp glance at Guangzi.
As he looked more, Di Shen became increasingly convinced that Guangzi was a menace, and leaving him by his wife’s side might have been a wrong decision.
Though knowing Ye Lingyue’s memories were sealed, Di Shen was still concerned.
On one hand, he couldn’t bear Ye Lingyue to remember such painful past.
On the other, he worried if Ye Lingyue recalled the past, what would happen to her feelings for him...
For the first time, the always confident Di Shen felt a lack of confidence.
He actually worried that when Ling Yue remembered her past, she might still love that man.
As soon as this thought emerged, Di Shen wished to completely obliterate everything related to his wife’s past.
Such as Guangzi, who always brazenly sticks around his wife under the guise of being a "woman"!
But in a split second, Di Shen recalled the moments his wife joyously interacted with Guangzi, her face radiating inner joy, that gentle smile like a spring breeze gradually softened his cold, hard heart, turning it into a puddle.
His little woman carried too much on her shoulders.
Be it Huangquan City, past resentments, or his still incomplete soul, each burden was overwhelming for Ye Lingyue.
Di Shen vividly remembers, after coming of age, he would secretly sneak into his wife’s room, while she slept, countless times. In her dreams, her brows would unconsciously furrow.
No matter how much he tried to smooth her locked brows with his fingers, they would inadvertently crease again.
Oh well, there are far too few people and things that can allow his wife to fully relax.
He couldn’t strip his wife of all ties to her only familial connection from her past life just out of his own concerns, fearing she might leave him.
Meanwhile, Ye Lingyue was entirely unaware of the private conversation between Guangzi and Di Shen.
After returning to the inn, Ye Lingyue entered Hong Meng Heaven, retrieving some Huangquan Water.
Standing before the blue waves and colorful Rainbow River, watching it flow forward, towards an unknown destination.
"Ye Lingyue, what’s wrong with you? It’s just an annoying rival."
Ye Lingyue shook her head.
Xi Jiuye seemed detestable, but Xuanwu City was vast, and the Central Plains were even bigger during the Jiu Provinces Hunting; the chances of encountering him were slim, so let that damn Xi Jiuye go to hell.
Ye Lingyue kicked a small stone beside her, watching it plop into the water, her mood suddenly brightened. She secretly vowed that if she ever met Xi Jiuye again, she would kick him like a worthless stone, far away from sight.
The next day, as dawn broke, Wuling City Lord came to fetch two bottles of Huangquan Water.
After obtaining the Huangquan Water, Wuling City Lord gifted it to a friend, though the friend’s identity was not revealed by Wuling City.
By noon, Jia Fugui came prancing to fetch Huangquan Water, proudly announcing to Ye Lingyue that the effects of the dozens of bottles sold the previous day were excellent. He had spared no effort, already spreading the word that the upcoming sales of Huangquan Water would be handled by "Jia Tianxia" business association.
At noon, the sale would start punctually, with the price tripling to 30,000 Spirit Stones per bottle, first come, first served. By noon, queues had already formed outside the association.
30,000 Spirit Stones, according to the earlier agreement between Ye Lingyue and Jia Fugui, Ye Lingyue could immediately earn over 20,000 Spirit Stones from each bottle.
This made Ye Lingyue reminisce about her days at Lonely Moon Sea, tut-tut, when she counted fingers every day to earn Spirit Stones.
Despite Jia Fugui’s lavish talk, Ye Lingyue was still a bit uneasy, as the sale of Huangquan Water was crucial to her plan to revive Huangquan City, so she went with Jia Fugui to the "Jia Tianxia" business association’s location.
"Jia Tianxia" business association, ranked among the top three in Xuanwu City, located on the bustling Xuanwu Street.
The street was lined with golden autumn pines, whose leaves proliferated at this time, filling the air with their scent.
Besides the few major business associations in Xuanwu City, the street also housed some thriving taverns and tea houses. Due to the Jiu Provinces Hunting, these places were crowded these days, bustling with people.
The entrance of "Jia Tianxia" business association attracted the most people.
When 48 bottles of Huangquan Water were displayed, the long-waiting people immediately became excited.
"Why only 48 bottles when there were supposed to be 50?"
"I’ve been queuing all day; how can I not get a bottle?"
Voices of protest came from the crowd, but Jia Fugui had already arranged things, assigning a number to each person according to the queue.
The rest could only look at the water with regret.
But even so, some were unwilling to give up.
"The sales are quite unprecedentedly lively."
"Indeed, Divine Doctor Ye, by the way, is Huangquan Water actually spring water? Is the spring eye located in Huangquan City?"
Ye Lingyue and Jia Fugui sat at a tea house across the street, with Jia Fugui chattering away.
Ye Lingyue just smiled, thinking to herself.
"This Jia Fugui, truly cunning, trying to squeeze the source of Huangquan Water out of me. I’m not telling you anything."
Jia Fugui couldn’t get any answers, knowing Divine Doctor Ye was tight-lipped, decided to give up.
Due to the need for Spirit Stone calculations, the sale of 48 bottles of Huangquan Water wasn’t rapid, with the queue moving slowly.
After two cups of tea, someone from the association called away Jia Fugui, while Ye Lingyue leisurely continued drinking tea.
At this moment, she suddenly noticed several eyes on her.
Ye Lingyue looked up to see Xi Jiuye and Hong Mingyue, along with their guards, entering the tea house.
