Chapter 1722
However, this one sentence was like a spark that landed on a powder keg, instantly pushing what was originally just a minor verbal argument into an irreparable situation.
"What? You... you actually share a husband?" The man in gold was stunned at first, then burst into exaggerated laughter as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
He did indeed covet the beauty of Piaoxue, Lin Yuyao, and others, but he never expected that these stunning women not only already had Daoist partners, but also belonged to the same person!
In his view, this was nothing short of a desecration of the "peerless fairy," an unforgivable sin.
"Lin Yuyao, you lowly servant! Have you forgotten the agreement made by our elders? How dare you seek a Daoist partner in secret?" Another man dressed in green, holding a jade gourd, stepped forward. The mouth of the gourd glowed with a ghostly light, and his eyes were like poisoned knives as he stared intently at Lin Yuyao and questioned her.
Seeing that the other party's words were becoming increasingly vulgar, Piaoxue frowned repeatedly. Finally, she took a step forward and said in a clear, cold voice, "Please be more respectful when you speak."
Her figure was graceful, and her temperament was like that of someone carved from ice and jade, far surpassing that of an ordinary celestial beauty. As soon as she took that step, the golden-clad man at the head of the group raised his hand to signal everyone to be still, his gaze fixed intently on her, as if trying to etch her image into his eyes.
"Your beauty is unparalleled, may I ask your identity?" The man in golden robes looked Piaoxue up and down, his Adam's apple bobbing involuntarily—such looks and temperament are truly a once-in-a-century occurrence.
"Oh? And what is your background, young master?" Piaoxue was not angered by his presumptuous gaze. Her tone remained calm, but a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
"Hmph, my father is the lord of the Holy City!" The man in golden robes raised his head arrogantly, then changed the subject, his eyes becoming ambiguous and flirtatious, "Speaking of which, the path I cultivate is quite strange. Although the fairies have husbands, I can sense it with a secret method—five of you six are still virgins."
His gaze swept over the six women, finally settling on Tianxing's face, a mocking smile playing on his lips: "Six such beauties, yet you only touched her... I think your Daoist partner is perhaps not so capable in some way?"
Upon hearing this, Piaoxue, Zhanxin, Zimo, Yu'er, and even Lin Yuyao all turned to look at Tianxing, their eyes filled with surprise and curiosity.
Tianxing and Chen Xuan's private affair had never been revealed to anyone, yet this person had exposed it in a single sentence. Her cheeks flushed instantly, both surprised and flustered, like a startled fawn, her eyes darting away, unable to meet the gazes of the crowd.
"Hahaha!" Seeing this, the man in golden robes laughed even more triumphantly, then turned to Yu'er and the others and said, "My Holy City has a strength and foundation far surpassing the increasingly weak Qilin City! If you fairies are willing to follow me, I guarantee that your cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds, and resources will be endless, making it a hundred times better than following that good-for-nothing!"
"Insolence!" Lin Yuyao trembled with rage, her crimson-gold divine power surging around her.
"You're asking for death!" Yu'er's temper flared up, and if Piaoxue and Zhanxin hadn't held her back, she would have already rushed up and torn that arrogant mouth apart.
"Hmph, don't you even know who you are? How dare you talk about my husband?" Zi Mo's cold voice was icy, and his spiritual energy was already quietly circulating.
"You...you're bullying me...Waaah, I'm going to ask my husband to stand up for me!" Tianxing wasn't really crying because she felt wronged, but because she had been caught cheating multiple times in public and didn't know how to deal with it, she crushed a communication jade talisman in desperation.
"Snapped!"
The soft sound of the jade talisman shattering was particularly clear in the bustling street, but the man in gold and his group didn't seem to care at all; instead, they all showed expectant expressions.
"Let him come! I want to see who dares to be so arrogant as to claim six fairies for himself!" The man in golden robes sneered. "If he's just a pretty face with no substance, even if it breaks the rules of Tian Shu City, I will still kill him right here!"
He even secretly communicated with the green-clad man beside him, and had already begun assigning tasks to Yu'er and the others, his words filled with blasphemy.
