Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Perched on Yuanxi’s shoulder, Xiao Bai squeaked excitedly.

The mistress is here to save us!

Clang!

A resounding, domineering clash followed swiftly.

A cold light pierced the air, cleaving the Soul Seizing Banner that hung suspended.

The connection between Yan the old ghost and the banner caused his spirit to writhe in pain, forcing him to cough up a mouthful of blood as his body plummeted from mid-air.

Gracefully descending from the heavens was a figure dressed in pristine white. Her presence held an otherworldly air, her gown as immaculate as freshly fallen snow, embodying the essence of a celestial being gracing the mortal realm.

Amidst the estate’s staff, stares of awe were directed at her, momentarily causing them to forget about her formidable might.

Yet, confronted with her chillingly beautiful countenance, Qitian Yu felt an icy surge from his feet to his head, hastily seeking refuge behind his guards, exclaiming in a panic, “Stop her! Stop her immediately!”

Gu Qingluan held the Heavenly Heart Qin, her delicate jade fingers gracefully brushing the strings.

Yet another melody echoed, its tune vividly showcased.

Silver light flashed from her fingertips, akin to a shooting star, sweeping forth.

The guards blocking Qitian Yu were struck, cries of agony filling the air as they were thrown back.

Before Qitian Yu stood defenseless, watching as Gu Qingluan single-handedly dominated the scene.

Fear intensified within him, his eyes darting around in alarm. “Luo Ying, stop her quickly!”

From the side, Luo Ying leapt forth, wielding a sword, directly charging at Gu Qingluan.

A wry smile curved on Gu Qingluan’s lips as her fingertip lightly brushed the strings.

A sharp resonance intertwined with dreadful force, akin to a battering ram, colliding with Luo Ying’s sword.

Crack!

In an instant, the finest of swords shattered into pieces.

Luo Ying’s face betrayed astonishment.

What a formidable melody!

Twisting away from the attack, he closed the gap with Gu Qingluan barehanded.

With a disdainful smile, Gu Qingluan’s index finger lightly flicked, and the edge of her qin transformed into darting blades, akin to a deluge of arrows, blocking Luo Ying’s retreat.

A cold smile cracked across Luo Ying’s frosty face as he swiftly channeled his arcane power.

A protective barrier of arcane power enveloped him.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The qin blades clashed against the barrier.

In an instant, countless cracks appeared on the barrier.

With a deafening roar, the barrier shattered.

Coughing up blood, Luo Ying was flung away like a kite with a broken string.

Ignoring him completely, Gu Qingluan gracefully ascended to the rooftop and took a seat, the Heavenly Heart Qin placed beside her legs. Her fingers moved deftly across the strings, producing a nimble dance of melodies.

Within this earthly expanse and the open sky, the air reverberated with the enchanting melody of the qin.

Though heavenly in sound, it was a fearsome instrument of death.

Feng Tianlan followed closely behind Gu Qingluan, observing the Heavenly Heart Qin in her hands. A trace of bewilderment flickered in his eyes.

Wasn’t this the Heavenly Heart Qin he had gifted to his son?

Had his son passed it on to her?

He realized that while the Heavenly Heart Qin was powerful, its true potential could only be unlocked by someone proficient in using sound as an offensive tool.

Seemingly, his son’s musical talents were inherited from her.

Gazing at Gu Qingluan skillfully using the qin to both play music and combat, Feng Tianlan’s emotions churned.

At this moment, the radiance of Gu Qingluan in his eyes was dazzling, a captivating beauty that seemed to hold an entrancing power.

Unaware of the stirrings she had caused in a certain someone, Gu Qingluan remained focused on her foes.

In just an instant, all of the guards from the palace were incapacitated!

Gazing at the fleeing Qitian Yu, a chilling glint flashed in Gu Qingluan’s eyes.

With a flick of her thumb, a silvery radiance shot towards Qitian Yu.

Sensing the danger, Qitian Yu swiftly evaded.

Boom!

The silvery radiance struck the ground, stirring up a flurry of dust and debris.

Seeing this, a shiver ran down Qitian Yu’s spine. Yet, he persisted in his mad dash forward.

Another beam of silvery light hurtled toward him.

Qitian Yu managed to take cover behind a building.

Amidst the melody’s echoes, the building exploded, engulfed in billowing smoke.

Though Qitian Yu evaded with desperation, he narrowly escaped each time.

Initially, he felt lucky to elude Gu Qingluan’s successive assaults.

Initially, he felt fortunate to have evaded Gu Qingluan’s repeated attacks.

However, as the relentless pursuit continued, Qitian Yu’s arcane power within him diminished significantly. No matter how he dodged, he could never shake off Gu Qingluan.

If he still hadn’t realized that Gu Qingluan was toying with him, then he would truly be a fool!
