Chapter 1720 - 780: His Heart Holds Another Woman

Chapter 1720: Chapter 780: His Heart Holds Another Woman

"Have you heard? The captain of the Huangquan Team is challenging the vice-captain of the Jiu Provinces Representative Team, arranging a duel at the Fengyun Platform."

"The Jiu Provinces Representative Team? Isn’t that the team currently leading the Jiu Provinces Hunting? The Huangquan Team sounds unfamiliar; could they be some third-tier representative team?"

As it was personally selected and named by Alliance Leader Ning and the Elder Council, the Jiu Provinces Representative Team holds an eminent status at the Jiu Provinces Main Camp, always seen as Alliance Leader Ning’s private guard.

It’s unexpected that someone dares to offend Alliance Leader Ning’s authority.

Furthermore, the challenger seems to be from an unremarkable representative team.

"You’ve probably been living under a rock. The Huangquan Team is a rising dark horse; they were just a third-tier representative team until this morning, but now, within an hour, they’ve jumped to third place in the Jiu Provinces Hunting, running neck and neck with the Jin Family."

"Is that true? It would take millions of merit points at least. This should be interesting."

The news of Ye Lingyue challenging Yue Mei spread like a hurricane, sweeping across the entire Jiu Provinces Main Camp swiftly.

But after the news spread, it somehow turned into a competition between the Huangquan Team and the Jiu Provinces Representative Team.

When the news reached the Jin Family’s representative team, Hong Mingyue glanced at Xi Jiuye.

"Should we go take a look?"

Xi Jiuye hadn’t said much ever since he returned early this morning.

But judging by his expression, he was quite displeased, refusing even Jin Mu’s invitation to the main tent.

"No."

Xi Jiuye pursed his thin lips, spitting out two words.

That woman, even if she ends up dying, it would serve her right; she believes whatever Di Shen tells her, treating his heartfelt intentions as if they were donkey’s liver and lungs.

Moreover, with her nature, she’s always scheming against others; what’s the worst that could happen?

Though Xi Jiuye verbally expressed his unwillingness to go, his mood was chaotic, unable to muster enthusiasm for anything.

"Sir, a letter has arrived from the palace."

A guard from the Northern Territory Thirteen Riders walked in, handing over a letter.

Following Xi Jiuye’s earlier orders, while staying in the Human Realm, the letters sent from the Divine Realm were referred to as coming from the palace.

Recently, Lan Chuchu has been writing more frequently than before, clearly indicating her significant longing for the Divine Master.

Hong Mingyue stood to the side, quickly glancing at the letter, noting the delicate small seal script on the envelope, unmistakably written by a woman.

Hong Mingyue knew it was written by Xi Jiuye’s wife.

She had always known Xi Jiuye had a Divine Consort in the Divine Realm.

However, Hong Mingyue also knew this woman was merely one of the concubines, not the Divine Queen of the Northern Territory, meaning she still had a chance.

But Xi Jiuye rarely mentioned her, and just as Hong Mingyue wanted to look further, Xi Jiuye snapped coldly.

"Get out."

Hong Mingyue bit her lip but still walked out; at the entrance of the tent, she subconsciously touched her abdomen, secretly hoping that the heavens would favor her a little more.

The letter was sent by Lan Chuchu.

After being separate for nearly half a year, Lan Chuchu had returned to her gentle and mellow demeanor, and the letter was filled with thoughts of Xi Jiuye, as she inquired about Xi Jiuye’s return date, her coquettish demeanor clearly expressed on paper.

After reading the letter, Xi Jiuye’s earlier displeasure caused by the Earth Evil Female Monarch eased significantly.

"Lan’er is always the most considerate; come, prepare the ink."

Calculating the days, in just over two months, Lan Chuchu’s due date would be fast approaching.

After all, it was his first child, and Xi Jiuye placed a high value on it.

The search for the Jiu Provinces Cauldron was not going smoothly, so Xi Jiuye had to pause the plan; his final goal remaining in the Ancient Nine Provinces was the Taixu Tomb Realm.

Various signs indicated the Taixu Tomb Realm was not located in the Ancient Nine Provinces or Central Plains region.

Xi Jiuye now suspected the Taixu Tomb Realm might be situated in the Demon World.

Jin Mu had already informed him about this mission from the Alliance Leader.

It just so happened that it provided him an opportunity to enter the Demon World in search of the Taixu Tomb Realm.

As for the Emperor Demon Vein of the Demon Ancestor, Xi Jiuye didn’t concern himself with it.

He intended to return to the Divine Realm with the divine seal obtained from the Taixu Tomb Realm.

Once Lan Chuchu gave birth and recuperated, the divine seal would transform her into a Divine Body, and Xi Jiuye planned to offer the divine seal to Lan Chuchu as a gift.

However, while his mind was settled on the matter...

Xi Jiuye stopped his writing in mid-thought, causing a drop of ink to splash onto the fine Xuan paper.

The ink drop quickly expanded from a small black dot, becoming noticeably obtrusive against the pristine paper.

That black dot was akin to that woman, who inexplicably appeared, firmly occupying his mind.

Damn it, why was he thinking about that woman?

Anger surged in Xi Jiuye’s eyes, and his thoughts ran wild like a runaway horse, uncontrollably drifting toward that woman.

Feeling frustrated, Xi Jiuye tore off the half-written paper, crumpled it, and tossed it aside.

"Sir?"

The attending Divine General was puzzled by Xi Jiuye’s sudden burst of anger.

The Northern Territory Thirteen Riders had followed Xi Jiuye for years, sensing the Divine Master’s temperament was often unpredictable these days.

Without saying much, Xi Jiuye quickly drafted another letter.

"Send the letter back to the Northern Territory."

The Divine General obeyed, taking just a few steps outside.

"Wait, when delivering the letter, should you pass by Fengyun Platform... see what’s happening over there... never mind, I’ll go myself."

Xi Jiuye stood up, leaving behind the bewildered Divine General.

"The Divine Master has been acting odd lately?"

The Divine General inspected the letter in hand, noting the rushed and careless strokes in the master’s handwriting.

This was meant to be for the Divine Consort, who had always been cherished by the Divine Master.

Yet recently, the Divine Master seemed less attentive towards the Divine Consort.

"Not just recently; the Divine Master has been off for quite some time now."

The other Divine General sneered, mocking his companion’s slowness.

"Could it be because of Hong Mingyue?"

"Are you dumb? If the Divine Master truly cared for Hong Mingyue, why would he make her take post-coital medication? I’d rather think the Divine Master is unusually interested in the female captain of the Huangquan Team; the Divine Master possibly has feelings for another woman now."

"No way. That woman looks nothing like the Divine Consort; if the master really set his sights on her, wouldn’t that be quite a peculiar taste?"

"What do you know? Men don’t judge women solely by their appearance, otherwise, why is that guy called Di Shen so devoted to her?"

"Tut-tut, maybe when we return, the Northern Territory Divine Palace will have a new mistress."

The two Divine Generals continued discussing as they sent the letter back to the Northern Territory.

Inside the chilling Northern Territory Divine Palace.

Lan Chuchu cradled her large belly, now over six months along.

"Divine Consort, the Divine Master has replied."

Lan Chuchu received the letter from the palace maid and scrutinized it closely, noting the few lines that simply advised Lan Chuchu to take care of herself. At the end of the letter, Xi Jiuye mentioned he would return to the Northern Territory in two months.

Upon seeing this line, Lan Chuchu’s expression changed as she sat up on the couch.
