Kong Hongyi was in so much pain that he almost passed out, both ashamed and furious, never having suffered such a loss. Today, he had been thoroughly bested by the pair, Chu Mo and Yiyi.

Transforming from his peacock form to human, his two arms were gone, blood dripping from the wounds. His eyes, filled with deep resentment, stared at Yiyi, and then he mustered his magical powers to grow two new arms.

Although they looked the same as before, they were actually much weaker and would require a long time to recover.

"What are you looking at? I didn't kill you, not because I didn't dare," Yiyi said coldly, "if anything happens to Chu Mo, your life... won't be spared, even if I have to chase you to the ends of the earth, I'll kill you! Nobody can stop me! Your Peacock Clan... is nothing!"

Her words were too forceful. The Peacock Clan was also a top rank clan in the Heavenly Realm, stronger than the current Tiger Clan. Yet, Yiyi didn't even regard them. Such dominance made people shudder.

At that moment, Huang Wushuang slowly said, "We're all cultivators here, why must our relationship be so rigid?"

Kong Hongyi was filled with rage inside. He thought to himself that this Huang was no better, wondering why she didn't intervene sooner. His wings were gone before she spoke up, and now she wanted gratitude? Dream on!

With his state of mind severely unbalanced, Kong Hongyi was on the verge of collapse.

His previous pride and confidence had been thoroughly shattered by Chu Mo and Yiyi.

Lu Hongxue looked at Yiyi with some concern, noticing that she was also quite unstable today. He still found it hard to believe that Yiyi had truly fallen for Chu Mo. It seemed so childish!

As family friends of old, Lu Hongxue knew of the Shui Family's ancient connection to the glorious and prosperous Chu Family. But what of it? Many of the Heavenly Realm's great clans, with lineages surpassing a hundred thousand years, had nothing to do with the Chu Family.

Therefore, Lu Hongxue never thought that the Shui Family's connection to the Chu Family was why Yiyi took a liking to Chu Mo.

How proud Yiyi was, Lu Hongxue knew only too well. Many people said that there was no spark between him and Yiyi, but that wasn't entirely true. Faced with a beauty of Yiyi's caliber, any man would be moved.

But in reality, Yiyi... felt nothing for Lu Hongxue, so in the end, he could only bury that slight tremor in his heart deeply, as he also had his own pride. Besides, with Yiyi's personality, being friends was quite nice.

But deep down, Lu Hongxue always thought that no young noble of the entire Heavenly Realm was worthy of Yiyi. As for those below the nobles... it went without saying.

He had never imagined that one day, Yiyi, a true favored daughter of heaven, would become so enraged for a man she had just met.

Meanwhile, Hu Lie and Yue Qingcheng had quietly arrived at the bottomless cavern left by the eye of the storm, peering down. What worried them even more was the safety of Chu Mo.

As for other matters, they didn't really care, nor did they want to. As long as Chu Mo was safe, that was enough.

At that moment, Long Qiushui suddenly asked, "Brother Kong, you came up early, did you see where the gentiana went?"

Kong Hongyi sneered, "Chu Mo took it!"

"What?" Everyone present was slightly shocked, even looking at Kong Hongyi in disbelief.

To say Chu Mo's combat power was strong, that many young nobles were no match for him, at least those present had no objections. Although those who hadn't crossed swords with Chu Mo might feel somewhat unconvinced, they had already recognized Chu Mo's combat strength.

But the gentiana was a Quasi-Saint medicine!

That was truly a divine object!

Let alone Quasi-Saint medicine, even a supreme medicine would not be easily taken by those present.

Often times, even Emperor-level medicines are unattainable by Emperor-level powers...

Yiyi Shui looked at Kong Hongyi coldly, "Be careful with your words, don't slander others casually. The moment we arrived, everyone sensed that overwhelming aura! The Quasi-Saint medicine must have left with the eye of the storm. If you spout nonsense again, I'll kill you!"

Kong Hongyi was so angry that he was fuming from every orifice. Angrily, he said, "I, Kong Hongyi, swear on the dignity of the Peacock clan and by my primordial spirit that the gentiana was definitely obtained by Chu Mo!"

Everyone present was stunned.

This oath was extremely serious—almost the most solemn oath a cultivator could make. By all logic, this should have been the truth. Yet, the crowd still found it somewhat ludicrous.

Could a Quasi-Saint medicine really be obtained that easily?

Qiushui Long furrowed his brows slightly as he looked at Kong Hongyi, "Brother Kong, does Chu Mo truly have the capability to seize the Quasi-Saint medicine?"

Knowing he had completely bungled this time and had no chance of getting the gentiana, Kong Hongyi simply let everything go and said, "If it wasn't for him obtainng that Quasi-Saint medicine, would I be so full that I'd want to stop him? But look at you all... not one of you stopped him. You just let him get away!"

"Get away? Jumping into that cave is getting away?" At that moment, Qiushui Long couldn't help but move toward the cave, but was stopped by Hu Lie and Yue Qingcheng.

"You two had better step aside, don't provoke me," Qiushui Long said coldly to them.

Yue Qingcheng and Hu Lie stood their ground and drew their dharma instruments, ready for battle.

"If you take one more step forward, I will kill you," Yiyi Shui's icy voice came from the side.

Qiushui Long retorted angrily, "Yiyi Shui... Do you intend to be the enemy of everyone?"

Huang Wushuang also frowned slightly and looked at Yiyi Shui, "Ms. Shui... What exactly is between you and Chu Mo?"

"I am his fiancée!" Yiyi Shui declared categorically, "This was an engagement set by our ancestors. Even if he's unwilling, that's his own issue. But our two families have exchanged tokens of commitment!"

As she spoke, Yiyi Shui revealed a translucent and lustrous jade bracelet on her wrist and said lightly, "This jade bracelet is a supreme instrument, once the most beloved item of that great person's wife. Now, it is in my possession! Unless one day Chu Mo takes it back, I... I am the bride of the Chu Family! Any of you who dares to touch him, try it. If you're not afraid of catastrophic repercussions, then come at me."

Qiushui Long was stunned.

Huang Wushuang was stunned.

Lu Hongxue was stunned.

Xuan'er and Xuanxuan were somewhat dazed; they had never imagined that Yiyi Shui, who had a faint blood relation to them and would be deemed their aunt according to seniority, was actually Chu Mo's fiancée?

Wasn't this too absurd?

And there were tokens of commitment?

Could this really be true?

On the other side, Kong Hongyi also felt dazed, looking at Yiyi Shui, he finally understood why she would go to great lengths over Chu Mo's affair. A surge of jealousy soared in his heart. What virtues and abilities did Chu Mo have? A mere bumpkin who clawed his way up from the Mortal Realm... Why was heaven so favorable to him?

Compared to us young masters, what was he?

At that moment, Huang Wushuang suddenly let out a sigh, shook his head, and said, "Since that's the case, let's not contend for the gentiana anymore."

Saying that, he glanced at Qiushui Long, "Let's go."
