In the strange Red Plum Grove, Ye Kai stood beneath the central mother tree, lost in thought for a long time.
Suddenly, a petal from the plum tree spun down and fell.
"Huh?"
Ye Kai snapped back to reality, extending his right hand to gently catch it, placing it in his palm. He murmured, "This world is too bizarre! I originally thought it was a harmonious Dimensional World set in an alternate history, but who would have thought there would be such high-level combat power here? It's simply absurd!"
The Plum Tree bloomed all year round, and a Gundam stood thirty meters tall!
He tugged at the corner of his mouth, internally complaining, 'What kind of ridiculous world is this?'
Without gods or detectors, the only way to quickly understand the situation here was to read books or ask Old Wolf, Stool, and Xia'er.
A gentle breeze swept by, and he heard rustling sounds behind him. Some plum petals floated gracefully in the air like delicate beauties, lingering as they landed on him.
A few brightly colored butterflies flitted about, and in his daze, one of them unexpectedly landed on the petal in his palm.
"Poof!"
As if in a hallucination, that butterfly exploded under Ye Kai's gaze, transforming into a cloud of sweet-smelling green smoke.
"Sigh!"
He had sensed something was off the moment the petal fell. To think that someone had infiltrated Qin Wang's estate to assassinate him?
It should be noted that in ancient Tang Empire, no noble was more esteemed than a prince with a single character title, and among those, only the Four Kings—Qin, Jin, Qi, and Chu—held the highest honor.
The title of Qin Wang carried extraordinary significance in both the court and among the common people in the Tang Empire.
Prince Li Shiying, courtesy name Yuanjie, was bestowed the title of Qin Wang. He was the sixth son of the most esteemed Emperor Li Yuan and was known for his disinterest in courtly intrigue.
Moreover, this title served as a form of compensation from Li Shimin to his beloved younger brother.
Additionally, although Qin Wang did not favor political machinations, he was exceptionally skilled in martial arts and was renowned as the most handsome man and the finest poet of his time. This stance reflected both the attitude of the Li Clan and Li Shimin himself.
Not only could this reputation win over scholars, but it also served to intimidate those with ulterior motives.
At the same time, it conveyed a message to others: "Li Shiying, you are my one and only brother. As your elder brother, I, Li Shimin, will never let you down." Now that he had ascended to the throne, Li Shiying would be recognized as Qin Wang—unique and above all others.
With a deep sigh, he reflected on his own strength; while he had no trouble safeguarding himself, participating in the royal power struggles truly troubled him.
For the sake of the throne, it was not uncommon for 'brother to turn against brother' or even 'patricide' to occur!
As these thoughts crossed his mind, Ye Kai lifted his head. To the left of Meilin, a distinct path led to a figure clad in a black robe who slowly approached.
The figure gradually lowered his hood and unfastened his robe. Dressed in white with a white belt and white boots, he wore white gloves that made him appear almost peculiar—like someone suffering from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.
Of course, perhaps he also had some degree of cleanliness obsession!
After a long silence, the White-Clad Man sighed softly. His gaze was calm yet sorrowful as he looked at Ye Kai, seemingly reminiscing about many past events—some filled with warmth and emotion but also tinged with a strong sense of killing intent.
Ye Kai tilted his head and glanced behind the man at the circular gate where faint footsteps echoed from within the dark woods behind him.
"Who goes there?"
The White-Clad Man suddenly turned around, alertly scanning the forest behind him.
From deep within the dark woods emerged another shadowy figure cloaked in dark red.
A man clad in a red cloak and wearing a Yasha mask strode through the courtyard gate, stopping ten meters behind the White-Clad Man. His gaze was cold and indifferent, as if he were looking at a corpse.
"Blood-Killing Guard, Bloodhand Yasha?! I never expected Li Shimin would send you here."
The White-Clad Man chuckled coldly, mocking, "What? Just killed your own brother, and now you happen to show up here? Don't tell me Li Shimin has sent you to keep an eye on this place. Hmph, hypocritical scoundrel..."
"Aren't you the same?" Bloodhand Yasha replied in a calm and detached voice. "When did the White-Clad Scholar, Wang Lun, start using such despicable methods and resort to poisoning in secret?"
He emphasized the words 'despicable' and 'poisoning in secret.'
"Against you self-proclaimed 'orthodox' types and the court's watchdogs, I think any method is justified. As long as the deserving die, that's all that matters. Besides, don't you think such a death suits you well?" Wang Lun replied with a light laugh.
The two stood off against each other, one in white and the other in red, making for a striking contrast.
However, for Ye Kai, the strange Energy Fluctuation within these two was quite intriguing. Although he didn't regard them as threats, they were certainly novel.
What truly caught his attention was the figure lurking in the shadows—an actual venomous snake, always watching your arteries. The moment there was even a slight opening, its fangs would sink deep into flesh, piercing arteries and releasing deadly poison.
He plucked at a flower petal, smiling lightly as he observed quietly from his position without making any move.
Sure enough, Bloodhand Yasha's ears twitched slightly as he began to look around defensively, seemingly searching for something. After a moment, he lifted his blood-red cloak and reached into the air with his right hand, bringing it to his nose for a gentle sniff. A cold smile crept onto his lips.
"What a cunning little fox; you've hidden yourself so well."
The White-Clad Scholar, Wang Lun, also shifted slightly. Then a glint of brilliance appeared in his eyes as he flicked his fingers. The flower petal in his hand transformed with a sharp sound into an arrow that sliced through the air and shot out.
"Clang!"
Bloodhand Yasha's right arm became a blur as he struck out fiercely, shattering the petal into pieces.
In the blink of an eye, the two had already engaged in battle. Waves of energy erupted, and plum trees burst open, showering petals everywhere, creating a stunning visual effect.
Just as Ye Kai was about to pull up a chair to enjoy the spectacle, a graceful figure floated through the plum grove. With a sharp clang, a sword was drawn, and several beams of sword light exploded into the air.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A plum tree with a diameter of about a foot was instantly torn apart by the sword light, splinters and petals scattering in all directions.
As the rising dust and petals swirled upward, the suddenly appearing enchanting figure pulled with her left hand, sending a surge of energy that cleared the debris. Suddenly, several sword qi, each three to four meters long, erupted in midair.
"Oh, I didn't expect the princess to be not only a beauty but also a master of swordsmanship. Tsk tsk tsk, I truly envy you, sister. Not only do you have the most charming talent at home, but you can also enjoy endless romance at any time. Tsk tsk tsk, I almost want to throw away my dignity as a lady and offer myself as a pillow companion..."
A white silk ribbon adorned with pink petals suddenly sliced through the air, followed by a teasingly melodious voice filled with endless mockery.
"Poof! Poof! Poof!"
After several light sounds, Ye Kai watched with an amused expression as the white silk ribbon danced and twirled before wrapping around a plum tree.
With a gentle shake, amidst the fluttering plum blossoms, a woman dressed in pink gauze, her shoulders bare and arms delicate like lotus roots, revealing two curvaceous legs, half leaned against the treetop.
Her cherry-like lips seemed to pout slightly, her brows carrying an air of deep sorrow. As her eyes sparkled with endless allure, this woman was simply exquisite!
"My Lord, are you hurt?" Jade rushed over to Ye Kai's side without even glancing at the woman, her pretty face filled with concern.
Ye Kai was momentarily taken aback.
But soon he sighed inwardly; this woman was genuinely concerned. The urgency and pain in her eyes were almost unmasked. Under his keen gaze, he noticed a red mark on her arm.
This made him widen his eyes in disbelief!
Lizard Powder?!
This 'ex' wife had never experienced that before?
Puh puh puh, childish thoughts Wuji blew away. Although this woman was once 'someone else's' wife, she was his now!
Of course, if he wasn't mistaken, it seemed she had always been his...
In an instant, he cast aside all concerns and pulled the woman into his embrace, gently caressing her delicate face. Watching the blush spread across her cheeks, he couldn't help but smile; perhaps this was already the woman's limit.
However, he still buried his head in the crook of her neck and took a deep breath.
"Lang, Lang, Lord..." Jade's face flushed crimson, her body began to stiffen, but she didn't dare struggle too hard for fear of hurting her Lord.
Having been married for seventeen years, she had never experienced anything like this. A strong masculine aura enveloped her completely, and her heart raced uncontrollably, filled with a mix of sweetness and a hint of sorrow. Final, she was utterly lost in her man's embrace.
"In the north there is a Fair Lady, unparalleled in beauty. One glance can topple a city, another glance can topple a nation. Do you not know that a beauty who can topple a city and a nation is hard to find? Fair Lady, so rare!"
A surge of deep affection suddenly rose within Ye Kai. He lifted her delicately crafted chin and spoke softly, "Jade, marry me again!"
"Lang..."
Seeing the beauty in his arms turn into a tearful kitten, her delicate appearance inviting him to take advantage of her made Ye Kai lean in for a deep kiss.
"Your Highness, I truly envy Sister Ru Yu. The Fair Lady who can topple cities... oh, the Fair Lady... If not, then please take me as well..."
At that moment, a White Silk Ribbon flew toward him. The tender plum blossoms acted like sharp blades, slicing through the air as they approached.
Ye Kai frowned. With his left hand firmly holding the beauty, he waved his right sleeve. In an instant, the delicate petals halted mid-air and gathered together before bursting apart with a poof, sending the white silk ribbon tumbling back.
Not only did the Nine-Tailed Fox, Delicate, wrap her enchanting and graceful body within, but she was also taken several meters away, landing with a soft thud on a carpet of flower petals. She cast him a resentful glance and began to cry softly.
"Is this for real? This woman is practically here to seduce people!"
Ye Kai could only helplessly complain. He appreciated poetry, but she wore an expression of extreme sorrow while being utterly unrelenting.
In the next moment, the delicate figure that had been crying suddenly retreated.
With a loud bang, a sharp wave of energy effortlessly sliced through the ground's blue stone, carrying an overwhelming killing intent.
At that moment, Jade, who had been in a daze, felt her soft and fragrant body tremble. Her previously hazy eyes suddenly brightened. With a graceful twist, she swiftly broke free.
After giving Ye Kai a playful yet reproachful huff, she bit her lip lightly. The long sword was back in her hand before anyone knew it. With a clear sound of the sword ringing out, a beam of sword light shot forth.
"Clang!"
Two equally sharp sword energies clashed and extinguished each other. At the same time, Jade twirled gracefully with her long sword, unleashing wave after wave of what seemed like Endless sword energy, forming a magnificent ribbon of colors.
Light and agile, her sword dance resembled that of a fairy among flowers, yet it concealed boundless killing intent, leaving Ye Kai with an indescribable sense of awe and shock.
