Translator: Storm in a Teacup


Hearing the three words of “annuling the engagement”, Song Jingyun seemed to have been struck by lightning.


“No! Dao Ge, how can you say that? I have been waiting for you for 5 years. Now I’m already 20 years old. If you annul the engagement, what can I do?”


Never would Song Jingyun expect Dao Ge to say such heartbreaking words.


Was he still the man who took good care of her since childhood?


“Jingyun, it’s my fault and I will try my best to compensate you. But I can’t deceive myself anymore. If we force ourselves to stay together, we’ll only be each other’s burden.”


20 years old. It turned out that so many years had passed.


Song Jingyun and Lan Cai’er were of the same age. Lan Cai’er was also 20 years old now.


It took Dao Ge five years to find out who he truly loved. This time, he would tightly grasp the chance.


“Force ourselves? Dao Ge, do you think you are able to change the status quo? Lan Cai’er and Sha have already been together. When the Greedy Wolf came over, Sha was the first to stand up for Lan Cai’er. But Sha can’t do anything. Who is Jiao Chong? He has already bought over the men of Shangyue Restaurant. At this time, Lan Cai’er is probably facing the harshest punishment of the Alliance.” Song Jingyun lost all her hope and was on the verge of going mad, smiling scarily.


“What! How dare the damned Greedy Wolf distort the truth? Why don’t you tell me earlier?” Dao Ge was greatly frantic.


He must go to the Alliance of Mercenaries to prove Lan Cai’er innocent.


After taking a few steps, however, he felt his mind in a whirl and his limbs getting limb.


“You...” Dao Ge held onto the table and tried to get his balance, only to find Song Jingyun’s image getting more blurred in front of him.


Only then did he realize the room was full of fragrance.


Song Jingyun usually wore makeup, so Dao Ge did not notice anything wrong when she came in.


When he finally realized something wrong, he had already been poisoned.


“You can go nowhere.” Song Jingyun stepped forward and looked intently at Dao Ge, rubbing her fingers against every inch of his face. She was deeply enchanted by the man’s handsome face.


”Jingyun, what on earth are you doing? Give me the poison-removing medicine.” Dao Ge was gradually losing his consciousness.


He must go to the Alliance immediately. Although Sha could protect Lan Cai’er to some extent, he was the only witness who could tell the truth.


If he was not there, Lan Cai’er would undoubtedly face harsh punishment from the Alliance.


He could in no case let Lan Cai’er face all this alone.


“You force me to do this, Dao Ge. I know that you like that woman, ever since years ago. These years, you have used all kinds of excuses to put off our marriage. Even if I try to get intimate with you, you still push me away every time. Lan Cai’er is better than me?” Song Jingyun deliberately offered to find Dao Ge for the only purpose of stopping him.


“Jingyun, you have changed. You were not like this before.” Dao Ge secretly gathered his force.


But his god sense was still vague.


“It’s you that have changed. You have made me like this. It doesn’t matter. As long as I become your woman, you will fall in love with me again.” Song Jingyun took off her clothes and held Dao Ge with her naked body. Her hand was slowly moving to Dao Ge’s lower body.


Instantly, her hand was grabbed. Dao Ge relied on his final bit of consciousness to break the wine jar.


The jar broke into sharp pieces which pierced through Dao Ge’s palm.


The pain made him regain some of his consciousness.


“Dao Ge, you!” Song Jingyun went dreadfully pale. She burst out crying when seeing the blood-soaked palm of Dao Ge.


He would rather hurt himself than touch her?


“Song Jingyun, I hate it most when others plot against me. This time, I will forgive you. Next time, I will show no mercy.” Enduring the pain, Dao Ge pushed away the naked woman and strode out.


Every place he passed was stained with blood drops. The scene was quite startling.


Song Jingyun collapsed on the ground. She could not help crying out while holding onto her clothes.


Within the Alliance, the parties had reached an impasse.


“Chief, you have heard everything. You have seen the witnesses and the evidence, and this woman can’t tell us the origin of her spiritual artifact. Why are you hesitating? Our Alliance stipulates that the murderer should be condemned to death. This woman must be killed at once.” The evil-minded leader of the Greedy Wolf was emboldened and kept shouting.


“Kill her! Kill her!” The other members of the Greedy Wolf made a noise aside.


Dao Ge saw the scene right when he entered the inn.


Surrounded by those malicious guys, Lan Cai’er went all pale due to anxiety and anger. Seeing this, Dao Ge flew into a rage and was ready to rush forward.


“Her whip was sent by me. Any problem?”


At this time, Yan Jiu gave a simple explanation.


“Sent by you? Sha, it is an earth grade spiritual artifact. Although you are a senior in our Alliance, you are after all the vice-captain of a mercenary group, a man of little influence. Where did you get such an artifact? Moreover, the woman is just a green-handed member of your group, why did you send her such a precious artifact?” Jiao Chong spat without scruples.


“Oh, I should not have sent her such a poor thing. How can an earth grade one be our love token? I will send you a more precious one. Why? It is because she is my woman, Yan Jiu’s woman.” Yan Jiu still gave the most graceful smile but no goodwill was shown in his eyes.


Then he walked to Lan Cai’er and dragged her into his arms.


“Underground Palace... Yan...” Jiao Chong lost all his confidence and started to stammer as if his tongue was bitten.


Dao Ge was standing behind the crowd in shock.


Sha was Yan Jiu?


The most successful young city owner on the continent who had established the Underground Palace with the Ghost Emperor Wu Chong.


All of a sudden, Dao Ge lost all hope.


He had many guesses about Sha’s real identity but never did he expect Sha to be Yan Jiu.


If Sha was Yan Jiu, then how could he win back the love of Lan Cai’er? Dao Ge’s heart was struck by a piercing pain.


He looked at Lan Cai’er in Yan Jiu’s arms. Although the girl was just several meters away, he felt that Lan Cai’er was moving further away from him.


Chief Song was also stupefied.


Sha was Yan Jiu?


The owner of 18 Yan Cities? No.3 Leader of the Underground Palace? The legendary man with unmatched sophistication and intelligence?


All these questions were less troubling than another one which popped into Chief Song’s mind.


If Sha was Yan Jiu, then who was Di?


The one who put in awe the No. 3 Leader of the Underground Palace could only be...


Di... The answer was obvious: the Ghost Emperor Wu Chong.


Chief Song twitched his mouth.


Chief Song quickly glanced at Di. The latter was looking on with his hands crossed. He said nothing but his imposing manner had already explained everything.


There was almost no expression on his face with a scar.
