"Hurry, hurry, we can't stay here even for a moment."
Cloud Mountain and the Great Elder of the Cloud Mountain Sect fled in haste; staying any longer would be unbearable for their hearts.
"Sect Leader, even if we're compensating with spirit stones, you didn't need to prepare so many, did you?"
After leaving the tavern, the Great Elder of the Cloud Mountain Sect said with some distress.
Cloud Mountain glared at him and said irritably, "If you weren't my uncle, I wouldn't even bother managing you. That's a Top Grade Saintess; how can we settle this without paying a price? Moreover, you didn't make it clear in the message. If I'd known there were two Top Grade Saintesses, I would have split those ten thousand middle grade spirit stones into two shares."
"Uh! I didn't know the other one was the Extreme Ice Saintess either before I sent the message."
The Great Elder of the Cloud Mountain Sect said with a bitter smile, "Who would've thought that little Xingyu City would gather two Top Grade Saintesses? No, now it's three."
"Let's return to the Cloud Mountain Sect first. What we lost will eventually come back." Cloud Mountain's gaze turned cold.
"What does Sect Leader plan to do?" the Great Elder of the Cloud Mountain Sect asked.
Cloud Mountain said coldly, "These Saintesses can't stay in Xingyu City forever. When they leave, disguise as members of the Bull Subduing Sect, go to Xingyu City, and wipe out the Xia Family to get the spirit stones back."
"Disguise as the Bull Subduing Sect? That's a great idea." The Great Elder's eyes lit up, praising.
The Bull Subduing Sect is the arch-enemy of the Cloud Mountain Sect. Disguising as them not only allows us to reclaim the spirit stones but also frames the Bull Subduing Sect, inciting the wrath of the three Top Grade Saintesses to destroy the Bull Subduing Sect.
Meanwhile, the tavern's guests were also shocked, buzzing with discussions.
"I heard Zhao Lingxuan possesses the Fire Spirit Saint Body and is the number one Saintess of the Li Huo Sacred Land, the foremost candidate for its future Saint Master."
"Another Top Grade Saintess, also coming for Xia Feng. What has the world come to?"
Two Top Grade Saintesses fighting over a husband was shocking enough; now a third has come, it's madness.
The Liu Family was dumbfounded. What extraordinary trait did Xia Feng have?
Speaking of it, the Liu and Xia Families were old friends, and they watched Xia Feng grow up. They never noticed anything special about him.
It's not just them, even Xia Feng himself was full of bewilderment.
Another Top Grade Saintess?
What virtue and capability do I possess?
He wondered if he was dreaming, wanting to pinch his own face, but as his arms moved, he only felt softness, immediately freezing.
"Pervert!"
The Celestial Fox Saintess Yu Siya's pretty face turned slightly red as she gave him a sideways glance.
"Uh! If I said I didn't mean it, would you believe me?"
Xia Feng, full of embarrassment, felt this misunderstanding was quite significant.
Yu Siya smiled charmingly, "As long as you marry me, husband, you can do anything you want."
"Enchantress, put away your charm, don't disgust people."
Nearby, Lin Wanqing mercilessly attacked.
"Hmph! Mind your own business?"
Yu Siya was completely unconcerned, sticking to her ways.
The subtle contention of the two Top Grade Saintesses let Xia Feng once again enjoy the pleasure of torment.
At this moment, Zhao Lingxuan once again looked at Liu Shiyu's family and said blandly, "The Cloud Mountain Sect offered ten thousand middle grade spirit stones and a hundred thousand lower grade spirit stones, do you have that?"
These tangible benefits should be more useful to my husband and the Xia Family.
If they can produce it, I can also spare them from punishment.
But it's just a trifling Xingyu City's three major families; where could they possibly have so many spirit stones?
"It seems they don't. If that's the case, let's roast them a bit first." Zhao Lingxuan said lightly.
Roast them a bit?
What does that mean?
While everyone was puzzled, Zhao Lingxuan waved her hand, and a wall of fire soared, encircling Liu Shiyu's family.
The wall wasn't high, but the scorching heat made the distant guests feel their skin burning.
This shows what a terrifying roasting Liu Shiyu's family was suffering inside the fire wall.
Liu Shiyu's family all circulated their inner strength to resist, but under the roasting of this sea of fire, their inner strength was quickly exhausted.
Next, they could only use their bodies to withstand the baking heat.
Though the wall's temperature was high, it didn't ignite their clothes but heated them to a scorching level, like a layer of branding iron, harshly branding their bodies.
Painful groans immediately echoed throughout the tavern.
Especially Liu Shiyu, who previously endured freezing, with the Frost Power still lingering in her body.
If it were ordinary Frost Power, it would quickly be dispelled by such violent roasting.
However, Liu Shiyu's Frost Power came from the Extreme Ice Saintess and wasn't so easily dispelled.
The final result was Liu Shiyu experiencing the agony of both extreme ice and fire, tormented beyond words.
"Charge out!"
Liu Tianxiang shouted; if they stayed any longer, they'd be doomed.
"Charge out?"
Zhao Lingxuan smiled blandly and said, "This is Li Huo. For you, it will burn everything. Once it touches you, even if you jump into water, it will continue to burn until you've turned to ashes."
"Li Huo Saintess, are you really going to drive us to extinction?" Liu Tianxiang roared.
"Extinction? No, no, no, you're not worth that."
Zhao Lingxuan showed disdain and said lightly, "Rest assured, it's just a small lesson, as long as you don't run around, you won't die."
Won't die?
Then it's a fate worse than death.
The guests on the scene looked at Liu Shiyu's family, sighing slightly in their hearts.
If they'd known this would happen, why did they do it in the first place?
A few days ago, Xia Feng and his father went to the Liu Family to ask for the engagement's cancellation, yet you chose to humiliate them at today's engagement banquet. Now, being tormented by the Top Grade Saintesses who long for Xia Feng, it's deserved.
After doing all this, Zhao Lingxuan turned to Xia Feng, with a swift and radiant smile appearing on her cold and delicate face.
"Husband!"
A sweet call caused all the men present to feel weak in their knees.
This was a completely different person than the fierce Top Grade Saintess from just now.
Zhao Lingxuan's figure flickered, appearing in front of Xia Feng, stretching her arms out to embrace him.
"Don't get close to my husband."
Both Yu Siya and Lin Wanqing shouted in unison, following with palm strikes.
Zhao Lingxuan waved both hands, clashing with the two girls. A violent energy surge rippled out, causing nearby guests to stagger and fall in disarray.
Yet Zhao Lingxuan, facing two on one, swiftly retreated, stopping ten steps away. Glancing at Yu Siya and Lin Wanqing, her face turned dark.
"Enchantress, Ice Woman."
Zhao Lingxuan gritted her teeth, "If I weren't afraid of harming my husband, I would've burned you both to ashes with a fire."
"Big talk."
Yu Siya said disdainfully, "If I weren't afraid of harming my husband, I'd make you sleep forever."
"I'd turn you into an ice sculpture."
Lin Wanqing retorted, unwilling to show weakness.
