Chapter 603 - Going to Imperial City

Xue Fanxin did not know why Ye Jiushang was hiding the matter of the Wood Spirit Heavenly Pearl, but she believed he must have his reason. She changed the topic.

“Ah Jiu, I haven’t broken through yet. Didn’t you say that we’ll stay here if I don’t advance?”

“The situation has changed. The commotion just now was too great and will attract countless people. If you want to deal with them, you can stay,” Ye Jiushang said with a sinister smile.

Xue Fanxin knew it was not a good thing. “I don’t want to stay!”

If she stayed, there would more or less be conflicts. Although she could rely on Ah Jiu to resolve any trouble, she did not want to be a burden.

It was her first time here, so it was best to keep a low profile. Furthermore, she had just obtained a heaven-defying treasure. Perhaps there were still traces of the Wood Spirit Heavenly Pearl left in that cave. If someone traced the clues to her, things would worsen.

“Ah Jiu, are we going to Yu City now?” Xue Fanxin knew that Pei Xiangxiang was in Yu City. She unknowingly developed a distaste for that place.

Ye Jiushang thought for a moment before answering, “To the Imperial City first.”

“Why? Didn’t we agree to go to Yu City?”

“If you want me to help you take revenge, you can go to Yu City now. I can help you kill that woman at any time. If you want to do it yourself, the current you won’t be able to do anything. Actually, you don’t have to go through so much trouble. I can kill her for you.”

His original intention was to not let things drag. He would kill Pei Xiangxiang directly and end it all.

However, Xin’er wanted to take revenge with her own hands, so he took such a long detour.

It did not matter though as long as she was happy. As for Pei Xiangxiang… If Xin’er really could not deal with her, it would not be too late for him to attack.

“No. Wouldn’t killing her like this be letting her off too easily? I want her to taste all the pain, lose her reputation, be abandoned by everyone, and have nothing before dying. Ah Jiu, I’ll take revenge myself. Let her jump around for a few more days. Soon, I’ll break her legs.” Xue Fanxin’s hatred for Pei Xiangxiang was too intense. It would not end with just killing her.

How could that bitter and heart-wrenching hatred be resolved by a simple death?

Even now, she still hated Jiang Donghai and Pei Xiangxiang.

It would have been fine if they had died. But she paid with her life yet failed to deliver their deserved retribution to them. How could she be willing?

Only by personally torturing this scumbag and sl*t could she be happy.

Ye Jiushang understood Xue Fanxin’s personality. She did not like to rely too much on others, especially on her own matters. He did not make any requests and respected her decision. “I believe you can do it soon. Yu City is not far from Imperial City. It’s only a day’s journey away. We can come and settle scores with her at any time.”

“Really?”

“When have I ever lied to you?”

“Then let’s go to Imperial City. But what kind of place is Imperial City? Is it the capital of a country? Which country’s capital?” Xue Fanxin asked a few questions.

Just as he was about to answer, a man in a black robe suddenly appeared. He knelt on one knee in front of Ye Jiushang and said respectfully, “Master, Consort Dowager Jing has fallen ill. The imperial physicians are helpless.”

“Got it. I’ll go back and take a look now.” Ye Jiushang’s expression was a little ugly. His brows were locked. Clearly, he cared about this.
