Chapter 821: Emperor Sovereign's Unexpected Charm

Bathed in dazzling radiance, Luo Qingcheng couldn't have been more thrilled in her heart!

She is about to become the Soul Mate of the Emperor Sovereign, and from then on she will be the Emperor Sovereign's most beloved woman, the lady of the Summit of the Deer Hunt!

As for Ye Qingran...

Luo Qingcheng looked at Ye Qingran, her eyes full of sarcasm.

"Ye Qingran, even if you bore the Emperor Sovereign two children, what of it? In the end, that man is still mine! Moreover, you've already become this ugly sight; you have no chance of turning things around!"

Ye Qingran's heart at this moment turned inch by inch into a desert.

Fu Hanxiu actually didn't recognize her?

Is it that Luo Qingcheng's acting is too good, or that Fu Hanxiu simply doesn't care about her, even though she and Luo Qingcheng have completely opposite personalities, yet he fails to notice anything amiss?

She declared her identity at once; why is Fu Hanxiu still so eager to become Soul Mate with Luo Qingcheng?

She stared at Fu Hanxiu without blinking, yet he seemed oblivious, his gaze fixed on Luo Qingcheng, so gentle it could almost drip water.

Beside them, Lady Lan watched the scene, gave an almost imperceptible nod, seeming very pleased with Fu Hanxiu's performance.

The Great Array lit up, and obscure, incomprehensible characters floated up from the array beneath their feet, sparkling with dazzling radiance.

When the flashing characters were read clearly, Lady Lan's expression grew increasingly solemn.

Suddenly, she shouted, "No! This is not a Soul Binding Array!"

What?

Everyone, startled by Lady Lan's shout, froze in place.

Even Ye Qingran was momentarily shocked.

Lady Lan said, this is not a Soul Binding Array?

Lady Lan clenched her teeth, only then realizing she had been played by Fu Hanxiu!

"Luo Qingcheng, run! He has long known you're not Ye Qingran! Destroy her body quickly!"

Luo Qingcheng was completely stunned.

A moment ago, she was immersed in sweet happiness, believing she was the luckiest person in the world.

The next second, she suffered a massive blow!

She stared at Fu Hanxiu in disbelief, seeing his curled lips, still peerlessly handsome, yet like a demon.

Her heart thudded and sank to the bottom of a valley.

Nevertheless, she wasn't foolish; she immediately prepared to trigger a secret technique to destroy Ye Qingran's body while using the technique to flee!

"Trying to escape?" Fu Hanxiu sneered coldly, as handsome as ever, now as cold as ice!

Luo Qingcheng shivered all over, suddenly feeling her body locked, unable to move.

She was extremely nervous inside.

"Hanxiu, what are you doing?" she asked persistently.

"Do you even deserve to call my name?" Fu Hanxiu's tone was icy, his whole being radiating murderous intent.

"What are you going to do to me? I am the Holy Maiden of Wuji Hall; if I suffer any loss, my father will not let you go, nor would he allow me to lose the Summit of the Deer Hunt!"

Fu Hanxiu wore a disdainful expression, said nothing more, and said, "Don't worry, you won't have that chance!"

The Great Array beneath his feet burst into flashing light as his words ended, enveloping Luo Qingcheng; her soul was ripped from her body, struggling and wailing.

"This is a Soul Capturing Array!"

Fu San and Fu Er only then realized.

"Great! So Your Majesty already knew the truth! Made me worry for nothing!"

Fu San patted his chest and let out a long sigh.

Ye Qingran seemed at a loss for words to describe her current feelings.

The feeling was like riding a roller coaster, ups and downs, leaving her momentarily unsure how to react.

However, learning that Fu Hanxiu's eyes were not blind, her hanging heart gradually settled.

"Fu Hanxiu, you can't treat me like this!"

"I love you! I love you more than she does!"

"No..."

Luo Qingcheng's voice echoed across Lu Shen Feng, eventually fading into nothing.

The Soul Capturing Array can help its master control the souls of others within the array, making them his tools.

Luo Qingcheng's soul was seized by Fu Hanxiu, who also extracted it from Ye Qingran's body.

Without a soul to support her, Ye Qingran's body teetered; Fu Hanxiu flashed forward, scooped her up in a princess‑carry, cradling her with endless pity in his eyes.

He slowly lifted his head toward Ye Qingran, his peerless face breaking into a faint smile.

Ye Qingran rolled her eyes, then laughed and shook her head.

"Damn it!"

Lady Lan muttered a low curse, her well‑kept face full of deep anger.

Luo Qingcheng had actually failed, which made her very displeased!

"What a useless piece!"

She couldn't help cursing again.

"Come here."

Fu Hanxiu gestured for Ye Qingran to step onto the array; Ye Qingran didn't hesitate, thinking Fu Hanxiu would help restore her body.

Ye Qingran stepped onto the array, and after not having seen it for a while, recalling the earlier emotional roller coaster, she teased, "Why does the Emperor Sovereign summon me up? Could he also be activating the Soul Capturing Method to control my soul as well?"

Fu Hanxiu lifted his sword‑shaped eyebrows, seeming to contemplate the question seriously.

"This is a good idea; from now on you'll never escape my palm again!"

Ye Qingran was speechless for a moment.

This guy, what a pervert!

With Fu Hanxiu's help, Ye Qingran successfully returned to her own body.

Huh~~~

Ye Qingran lowered her head, examined her own body, and couldn't help but sigh, "I'm still used to using my own body!"

However, the unfamiliar fragrance lingering at her nostrils and some of her own elaborate aesthetic made Ye Qingran frown.

"My fine body was ruined by Luo Qingcheng!"

Fortunately, during this time Luo Qingcheng was afraid of any extra complications, so she didn't dare do anything out of line; otherwise she would have literally vomited herself to death!

Seeing Ye Qingran return, Fu Hanxiu could no longer contain his overflowing affection and, in a single swift step, scooped Ye Qingran into his arms.

He was already tall and broad‑shouldered, with especially strong arms; being held by him, Ye Qingran felt she was about to suffocate!

"Take it easy, are you trying to murder me?"

"I miss you so much!"

Fu Hanxiu buried his face on Ye Qingran's shoulder; his voice, no longer the usual deep tone but tinged with a light nasal quality, sounded oddly endearing to Ye Qingran's ears.
