he boss’s mistress, or as it's簡稱，二奶 (èrnǎi). In this company, she even refers to herself as the boss’s wife, making her the de facto second-in-command after the boss.It is said that Du Qing has been a...Chapter 1406: He Is My Empress

This was a woman who seemed quite mature, though perhaps too mature; she appeared to be around forty years old. She wore a sky-blue long dress with a golden butterfly embroidered on it. Her figure looked good—indeed,修煉的女人身材都不會太差，but her appearance was rather ordinary and couldn’t even be considered beautiful. Compared to Ji Qingying, who was incomparably gorgeous, this woman didn't stand out at all; in fact, she wasn’t any better than the late Huang Jingyi. If she were to change into a plain outfit, there wouldn’t be anything about her that would make anyone take notice.

But Xia Tian knew that this woman was no ordinary person. She had saved Han Mingfei with just one sword strike, and now that she appeared, Han Mingfei’s face showed a look of pleasant surprise. Ji Qingying's beautiful face showed clear signs of unease, her eyes quickly flashing with worry; the arrival of this woman seemed to be putting obvious pressure on Ji Qingying.

“The fifth one,” Xia Tian mused silently. This was the fifth disciple from the Ethereal Immortal Sect that he had encountered out of twelve who came to this world, and he would soon meet half of them.

"Junior Brother Han, Junior Sister Ji, what are you two doing" A gentle voice sounded; it belonged to the middle-aged woman who just arrived. She glanced at Xia Tian for a moment but clearly didn’t pay him any attention—this was normal since figures like her didn't usually care about minor characters such as Xia Tian. If not for the fact that he was standing next to Ji Qingying right now, she probably wouldn’t have looked his way at all.

"Senior Sister Nangong, you’ve arrived just in time! Junior Sister Ji is colluding with outsiders and has murdered White Brother and Yellow Sister; she still wants to kill me to cover it up!" Han Mingfei’s voice was filled with anger; he couldn’t help but be angry since if not for the sudden arrival of this Senior Sister Nangong, he might have died just now.

"Junior Sister Ji, is that true" This Senior Sister Nangong looked at Ji Qingying, her brows slightly furrowed as if she found it hard to believe what was being said.

“Senior Sister Nangong, do you really believe a one-sided word” Ji Qingying's tone remained cold; she didn’t seem eager to explain but the current situation forced her to do so. "After arriving in this world, I have never seen Bai Yunshan or Huang Jingyi, and I even suspect that they might have died at Senior Brother Han’s hands!"

"Junior Miss Ji, Xia Tian has already admitted to this earlier. Do you still want to deny it" Han Mingfei said angrily.

"Xia Tian" Senior Apprentice Sister Nan Gong frowned slightly and then looked over at Xia Tian's side. "Junior Brother Han, is that him Who is he"

"Senior Apprentice Sister Nan Gong, he is Xia Tian. He is a cultivator of this world, and moreover, he knows the Drifting Step technique. He even claimed to be Junior Miss Qingya’s husband. I believe he knows where Junior Miss Qingya went. I’ve been trying to find out her whereabouts from him all along, but unfortunately, Junior Miss Ji kept interfering on his behalf the entire time, and tonight she even wanted to kill me!" Han Mingfei looked at Xia Tian, and the calmness that usually characterized him was gone in this moment. Right now, what he felt most strongly was anger!

"Junior Miss Qingya’s husband" That Senior Apprentice Sister Nan Gong had an expression of surprise on her face as she stared intently at Xia Tian for several seconds before shaking her head and saying, "That doesn’t seem possible, does it"

Before anyone else could say anything, that Senior Apprentice Sister Nan Gong spoke again. But this time, she was looking straight at Xia Tian. “You’re called Xia Tian, right I’m Nan Gong Yan from the Drifting Immortal Sect. Do you know where Junior Miss Qingya went”

"That’s correct, I do know, do you want to know" Xia Tian retorted with a question of his own. "Actually, if you really want to know, there is nothing stopping me from telling you, as long as you agree to one condition."

"What condition" Nan Gong Yan asked.

“Oh, my condition is very simple; just kill the idiot Han Mingfei,” Xia Tian said nonchalantly.

Nan Gong Yan shook her head gently and said, "Summer, this is impossible. You can change your condition or tell me why you want to kill Senior Apprentice Brother Han He shouldn’t have such a deep grudge against you."

"Because he wants to kill me, I naturally must kill him first." Summer quickly replied. "As for the deep grudge part, it’s because I stole his dream girl. Uh, do you know that this idiot Han Mingfei likes Ye Yumei very much Oh right, I seem to have forgotten to tell you, Ye Yumei, the long-legged lady, is also my wife."

"Ye Yumei" Nan Gong Yan’s expression changed slightly. "She is still alive"

"Of course she’s alive and doing well." Summer quickly said. "In short, if you want to know where my immortal sister Yue Qingya is, you’ll first need to kill this idiot Han Mingfei. Of course, if he wants to commit suicide, I won’t mind."

Nan Gong Yan pondered for a moment before looking at Ji Qingying. "Junior Apprentice Sister Ji, I can’t understand why you would protect an outsider Could it be that you want to find out Senior Apprentice Sister Qingya’s whereabouts from him alone"

"Senior Apprentice Sister Nan Gong, to me, he is not an outsider; he is my empress." Ji Qingying said coldly.

"Empress" Nan Gong Yan was taken aback before she revealed a bitter smile. "I almost forgot that Junior Apprentice Sister Ji is the future female emperor of the Jie Imperial Dynasty in the mortal world."

"Hey, what empress Empresses are women! You’re my empress, uh, wait, I didn’t become an emperor; in any case, I’m your man and not some damn empress!" Summer was rather depressed. He was a man for crying out loud, yet he had become something of an empress—what kind of justice was this!

Unfortunately, Ji Qingying seemed unwilling to reason with him; she completely ignored Xia Tian's protests and continued addressing Nan Gong Yan: "Senior Sister Nan Gong, Han Senior Brother wants to kill my queen, so naturally I have to deal with him. Even if it comes down to discussing this matter with our master, I believe he won't blame me. I hope you don’t interfere in this."

"Junior Sister Ji, I can't judge who is right or wrong between the two of you. We’ll wait until we return to the sect and let Master make a decision. However, since I’m here now, I cannot stand by and watch as you both hurt each other. Therefore, regardless of who’s at fault, neither of you may continue fighting." Nan Gong Yan briefly pondered before saying: "How about this Junior Sister Ji, you and your queen can leave first. As for Senior Brother Han, he currently has an injury, so I will take care of him. I promise that Han Senior Brother won’t attack Xia Tian, and in return, you also cannot come to attack Han Senior Brother."

After a moment’s pause, Nan Gong Yan added: "I will handle this matter fairly. If either of you initiates an attack first, then I will help the other party."

Ji Qingying stared at Nan Gong Yan for several seconds before turning to look at Xia Tian and whispering softly, “Let’s go!”

Before Xia Tian could respond, Ji Qingying grabbed his arm and leaped out in a single step, vanishing into the night.

Once Ji Qingying was completely gone, Nan Gong Yan turned to look at Han Mingfei with a gentle smile on her face: "Junior Brother Han, may I ask what happened during this period"

By Moonfall Lake.

Ji Qingying stared far into the distance at Heavenly Deity Peak, her expression cold and distant.

"Ah, can't you beat that Southern Palace Yan" Summer couldn't help but ask at this moment.

"She was already in the middle stage of Nascent Soul Realm ten years ago, whereas I just recently advanced to the middle stage. However, if it comes down to a fight, I'm not afraid of her," Ji Qingying turned to look at Summer with a cold tone. "But you are no match for Han Mingfei; if they were to team up against us, we would certainly lose."

"What a pity, I almost got rid of Han Mingfei," Summer was somewhat depressed, knowing that such an opportunity might not come again easily.

"No need to feel sorry for it, Han Mingfei is soon going to die anyway." Ji Qingying continued to watch the Heaven God Peak from a distance, her stunning face showing a hint of mockery. "Han Mingfei thinks he has found a savior but doesn't know that he's already fallen into a trap. I think he won't survive tonight."

"What" Summer was a bit confused by this. "Are you saying there's something wrong with that ugly woman, Southern Palace Yan"

"How can it just be 'something wrong'" Ji Qingying snorted coldly. "Others might not know her background, but I do very well. This time, we were grouped together initially, but as soon as we arrived in this world, I immediately separated from her. I didn't expect that she would actually come looking for me!"

"You mean to say she came here not to find Han Mingfei, but rather to look for you" Summer quickly understood the situation.

"Not bad," Ji Qingying said coldly and then turned around. "It's best that you leave this place right now; don't count on me saving you every time. Don't say I didn't warn you: at critical moments, my priority will always be to protect my own life."

The moment her words were finished, Ji Qingying took a step and vanished from Xia Tian's sight with the Zhiru Qianyi Step.

"This dead demoness is quite direct!" Xia Tian muttered to himself. Then he quickly headed towards the villa. Regardless of whether what Ji Qingying said was true or false, it would be impossible for him to kill Han Mingfei now. Therefore, he should really leave this place.

Xia Tian soon entered the villa and went up to the second floor. He stood outside Ye Yumei’s bedroom, about to knock on the door when it opened unexpectedly. The cold and stunning face of Long Legged Sister appeared in front of him suddenly.

"Um, Long Legged Sister, we should leave this place now." Xia Tian hesitated for a moment before speaking.

He had to leave definitely. He hoped that Ye Yumei would go with him too. Of course, if the long-legged sister really wouldn’t budge, there was nothing he could do but leave her here.

Ye Yumei did not answer Xia Tian’s question. She simply walked out of the door and went outside quickly.

"Eh, Long Legged Sister, where are you going" Xia Tian hesitated for a moment before chasing after her.

"Didn't you say that we're leaving" Ye Yumei said in an unfriendly tone. showed a hint of disturbance; she finally stopped reading and lifted her head. Her beautiful eyes shifted slightly before an involuntary look of surprise flashed across them.Song Yumei noticed her bo...
