Chapter 401: Both Children Belong to Me

That man standing at the world's pinnacle— the Emperor Sovereign Fu Hanxiu of the Summit of the Hunt!

Even if Fu Hanxiu isn't moved by her, she doesn't mind. Because she knows that across the entire continent, only she, Luo Qingcheng, is worthy of Emperor Sovereign Fu Hanxiu!

Other women are nothing but ants!

If one appears, she will crush it!

In the end, only she can stay by his side!

"I hereby congratulate the Holy Maiden in advance; she's about to marry the Emperor Sovereign and become the lady of the Summit of the Hunt!"

Yun Lan lifted her teacup and offered a distant toast.

"I likewise congratulate Princess Yun Lan in advance, who will eventually become the sole princess of Yunfu of the Yin Tribe on Nan Yin Zhou!"

The two exchanged a smile, each seeing ambition in the other's eyes.

However...

A black silhouette silently appeared outside Bajiao Pavilion.

"What's the matter?"

Yun Lan looked at the cloaked figure, twisted a brow, and felt an ominous premonition.

The dark‑clad person reported the gathered intelligence to Yun Lan.

"What are you saying? Fu Hanxiu uncovered Yun Zhi's false identity? How could that be possible?!" Yun Lan wore a look of disbelief.

Fu Hanxiu had clearly already ordered the Summit of the Hunt to conduct a Bloodline Detection on Yun Zhi and Fu Qianchen, which showed a mother‑son relationship; how could he still have uncovered it?

"He has... a Soul-Attracting Pearl on his hand!"

Soul-Attracting Pearl?!

At this moment, even Luo Qingcheng couldn't stay calm and sprang to her feet.

"Impossible, the Soul-Attracting Pearl could never be at the Summit of the Hunt!"

Luo Qingcheng said in a deep voice.

She has a good relationship with the Grand Elder of the Summit of the Hunt, so she dares to assert that the Soul-Attracting Pearl is definitely not there.

Yun Lan's eyes turned profoundly dark.

His subordinates would never err, which can only mean that Fu Hanxiu indeed has a Soul-Attracting Pearl in his hand.

But hadn't the Soul-Attracting Pearl vanished without a trace many years ago?

What on earth is happening?

Both their eyes were filled with startled doubt.

If Fu Hanxiu truly possesses the Soul-Attracting Pearl, Yun Zhi would inevitably be exposed. After all, the Soul-Attracting Pearl tests the soul.

One's blood can be tampered with, but the soul...

If Yun Zhi's identity is uncovered, wouldn't that mean all their previous efforts were in vain?!

Both wore unpleasant expressions.

"Lin Xueyan, that useless piece! He can't even handle such a trivial matter!" Luo Qingcheng couldn't help scolding.

"Holy Maiden, the matter has come to this; it seems we need to deliberate carefully!"

Luo Qingcheng nodded.

A flash of cold light flickered in Yun Lan's eyes.

It seems she can no longer delay. Only by swiftly dealing with Ye Qingran can she be at ease!

"Holy Maiden, could you do me a favor?"

"What favor?"

"I ask the Holy Maiden to act, to draw Fu Hanxiu back to the Summit of the Hunt!"

Yun Lan squinted, her eyes filled with dark malice.

In this world, there is no wall that is completely airtight.

Moreover, since Ye Qingran and Fu Hanxiu have no intention of keeping secrets, everything that happened at the palace banquet became known to everyone overnight.

The next day, Xiliang City erupted in chaos.

In every street and alley, almost everyone was discussing the events of yesterday's palace banquet.

"Did you hear? The National Master is actually the Emperor Sovereign of the Summit of the Hunt! I was fortunate to glimpse the National Master's celestial bearing before and thought his aura was extraordinary, never expecting he was the Emperor Sovereign of the Summit of the Hunt!"

"Heavens! How could Donglin Country's virtue allow the Emperor Sovereign of the Summit of the Hunt to lower himself to serve as National Master? Isn't that too much divine favor?"

"I once was that close to the Emperor Sovereign of the Summit of the Hunt!"

"Not only that, there's even juicier news! Doesn't Ye Qingran have two children? Those two children are both offspring of her and the Emperor Sovereign!"

"What? Both children are Ye Qingran's and the Emperor Sovereign's?"

"Exactly!"

"My god!"

Such conversation could be heard in almost every corner of Xiliang City.

The crowd fell into deep shock, unable to calm for a long time.

Who could have imagined that the National Master also holds an even more formidable title—the Emperor Sovereign of the Summit of the Hunt!

Who could have guessed that the two children by Ye Qingran's side are both hers and the Emperor Sovereign of the Summit of the Hunt's!

Those wild men and wild offspring are all nonexistent!

Soon, a rumor spread.

Lin Xueyan died.

After enduring disfigurement, a gutted abdomen, having his Spiritual Root ripped out, he fell off a cliff and shattered to pieces!

When the crowd first heard the news, they were startled.

Immediately, thunderous applause erupted!

"She deserved to die! Such a venomous woman with a snake-scorpion heart should go to hell!"

"I once looked up to her as a role model—just thinking about it now gives me goosebumps!"

"Anyone who could do such a thing doesn't deserve to live in this world!"

Lin Xueyan's past misdeeds naturally spread to everyone's ears along with the rumors.

Her former goddess image collapsed utterly, becoming a snake-scorpion venomous woman in people's mouths—even dead, she is still despised.

Her name will reek for ten thousand years!

Good deeds are rewarded, evil deeds are punished—it's not that they aren't, it's just that the time hasn't come yet!

Ting Yu Xuan.

The sunlight is just right.

"Have a seat." Ye Qingran pointed to the opposite chair with her chin.

Fu Hanxiu obediently sat down.

"I asked you to come today because I have something I need to make clear with you."

Her all-business attitude made Fu Hanxiu feel quite uncomfortable.

Their child is already five—how can she still be so cold toward him?

"Didn't I help you settle the matter of the Mysterious Poison?"

Fu Hanxiu's gaze deepened.

Whenever the Mysterious Poison is mentioned, his heart clenches uncontrollably.

He knows better than anyone how destructive the Mysterious Poison can be.

During this time, Ye Qingran must have suffered a great deal!

Fu Hanxi clenched their fists repeatedly, jawline tight.

"Don't feel guilty—it was my choice. Besides, the Mysterious Poison has been well-behaved lately; I haven't suffered much."

Ye Qingran said lightly.

Fu Hanxiu obviously didn't believe her.

Ye Qingran paid no attention to his attitude and said on her own: "I've figured out what to do about that promise you owe me."

Fu Hanxiu looked at her.

"I want you to promise me that from now on, both children are mine, and you're not allowed to fight me for them!"
