help you retrieve your debts! Remember, don’t plant this Spirit Fruit now. Wait until I reinforce the array and defenses of the Tai Dan King Courtyard. Also, you mustn’t tell anyone about your Heaven...Chapter 1672 - Zhu Que Succession Pearl

When Hou Zhongming arrived, he had speculated on many reasons why Shen Xiang might want to capture Eastern Xin Yue alive. However, he never thought that Eastern Xin Yue was actually Shen Xiang's concubine. Although he did guess about stealing valuable items.

Now, Hou Zhongming was more interested in Shen Xiang's background. Their young master was not weak, otherwise he would not have been chosen as the inheritor, but he was quickly crippled by Eastern Xin Yue, who appeared much younger. If it weren't for the quick arrival of a Hou Clan saint powerhouse, the young master would have been killed.

When the Hou Clan's saint was pursuing Eastern Xin Yue in that sea area, he and another saint could sense her presence but couldn't catch up to her. Eventually, she escaped, showing that Eastern Xin Yue was strong.

Having such a powerful concubine meant her master must be even more formidable!

The young master of the Hou Clan was nurtured with huge resources from the Hou Clan, but he couldn't defeat another person's concubine. If Eastern Xin Yue were a saint, then it would be understandable, but she appeared to have lower cultivation than the young master.

"So, if you want to kill her, that's fine. But do it before I find her. Otherwise, she'll return to my side, and sorry for that! Also, if you take her stolen items, I'll stop at nothing to get them back," Shen Xiang sipped tea gently.

Hou Zhongming already had a strong aura. But Shen Xiang's invisible power now made him feel intense pressure, especially since Shen Xiang didn't reveal any aura and looked like a normal person.

He used his experience to confirm that Shen Xiang's power was comparable to a saint, so it wasn't within his capability!

"Farewell!" Hou Zhongming bowed to Shen Xiang and quickly left the room.

Shen Xiang sighed, "I must find Xin Yue quickly. The Hou Clan just wanted to quietly deal with her before I intervened, and soon they will have more significant actions!"

It was said that the Phoenix lived in Life Forest, and since the Hou Clan controlled the sea area with Life Forest, Shen Xiang guessed that Eastern Xin Yue had conflicts with the Hou Clan's young master there.

The young master was now fine, but he wouldn't let Eastern Xin Yue off!

Shen Xiang waited for five days but received no news.

Nine days later, the people from Water Swift Tower approached Shen Xiang to inquire if they should continue placing a bounty. If so, they would need to renew the fee.

Of course, Shen Xiang continued and added some saint stones to have Water Swift Tower spread the news as widely as possible, especially mentioning Life Force. In addition, he added 200 million saint stones to reach a total of one billion.

"There are many people outside watching this chief. They must be from the Hou Clan!" Long Xueyi said, "Do we play with them"

Shen Xiang shook his head, "Don't bother with them; they're not a threat to us. Now we can see the Hou Clan's stance; no matter what, they'll kill Xin Yue girl. They're also aware that she would come to me, so they've been watching here all along."

At night, Shen Xiang suddenly woke up and smiled slightly, "Xin Yue girl came; she made me worry for so long. It seems that she's quite relaxed."

Shen Xiang and Eastern Xin Yue had a master-servant contract, so as soon as he got closer, he could sense her location.

He moved with his thoughts and manipulated spatial power, causing slight fluctuations around him before disappearing in the life inn room.

Shen Xiang appeared in a crowded area within Floating City, where the buildings were simple and not as luxurious as those with lively areas. There were many small streets, and Eastern Xin Yue was in an empty street here.

Shen Xiang followed the weak sense and quickly arrived behind Eastern Xin Yue!

Eastern Xin Yue sensed someone and hurriedly ran away. However, a voice transmission suddenly sounded in her mind.

"Auntie, it's me!"

Eastern Xin Yue stopped and turned towards Shen Xiang. She softly punched him on the chest, teasingly, "I was so scared! I came here risking my life."

Eastern Xin Yue wore black robes, a hat, and had undergone very precise transformation, looking like an ordinary middle-aged woman.

"I'm here to protect you!" Shen Xiang hugged her waist, pulling her closer and tightly embracing her. "I was so worried about you; I should have known not to let you come here alone back then."

Eastern Xin Yue removed her transformation, revealing her seductive and gentle appearance. She giggled playfully, "You underestimate me; I'm now…"

She didn't finish her sentence as Shen Xiang sealed her mouth with his. Under the moonlit night, in an empty alley, the woman who was on Hou Clan's bounty of five billion saint stones was passionately kissing Shen Xiang…

"You've really become stronger!" Shen Xiang gently rubbed Eastern Xin Yue's face and gazed at her beautiful features, asking, "Did you see the Phoenix"

Eastern Xin Yue pouted and smiled, slightly breathing out the tongue she had previously entwined with Shen Xiang's. "She was very helpful, teaching me many skills."

"Check this out!" She took out a fiery red pearl and said, "This is the Phoenix's succession fruit; I ate one before, which she gave to Ge Ge."

Shen Xiang instructed Eastern Xin Yue to keep the succession fruit safe and then pulled her through space, returning to the inn.

When Eastern Xin Yue saw the luxurious room, she sighed, "You're enjoying yourself; I've suffered a lot recently."

"I'll compensate you well!" Shen Xiang chuckled. Just then, Long Xueyi suddenly appeared.

Eastern Xin Yue wasn't surprised by seeing Long Xueyi, as they met before when Long Xueyi took Cold Yulan away. Eastern Xin Yue knew that Long Xueyi was very powerful.

Although Eastern Xin Yue's strength had improved, Long Xueyi was still strong in her eyes!

"Xin Yue, we've met before, so there's no need to introduce. Thank you for being safe," Long Xueyi smiled at Eastern Xin Yue and followed Shen Xiang for so long, knowing everyone around him. So, in her eyes, Eastern Xin Yue was just an old acquaintance.

"Yes, Xue Yi! Thanks for your concern. You're always following him; what's your relationship with him" Eastern Xin Yue asked.

"This… It’s complicated. Anyway, we've been together for a long time, and I know everything about him," Long Xueyi laughed playfully. "Just treat me as your good friend or sister! By the way, is the Phoenix in that Life Forest"

When Eastern Xin Yue saw Long Xueyi's delicate and pretty face, she couldn't resist touching it. "Do you guys want to see her"

Long Xueyi nodded, "Of course. She's my old friend—an annoying woman who has been involved with White Tiger."

"Really" Shen Xiang and Eastern Xin Yue asked hurriedly.

Long Xueyi nodded, "She was killed by White Tiger, but she still holds a grudge against him. Although she says she hates him very much, she doesn't show too much hatred."

"Ask her yourself. She can make such things, showing she's recovering well," Long Xueyi ran behind Eastern Xin Yue and playfully messed with her long black hair.

Seeing Long Xueyi's identity now, Eastern Xin Yue was even more impressed. Recognizing the person who knew Phoenix had to be an ancient powerhouse, she didn't expect Shen Xiang's side to conceal such a woman all these years.

"By the way, how did you come into conflict with the young master of Hou Clan" Shen Xiang asked.

"That guy was asking for it. I'm being merciful by sparing his life, but if I had known earlier, I would have dealt with him more severely. When I met him in Life Forest, he said that since my appearance was on his land, it belonged to him. He's not after sex but wants to rob me of everything," Eastern Xin Yue said, slightly in anger.patrolman nervously.The Great Land of Heavenly Emperor was already a huge continent even in this new world, and the three powers—Descending Demon Academy, Fire God Temple, and the Bloodline Warriors—a...
