My Cold and Elegant CEO Wife Chapter 1857 - Xue Lin's Rejection

Having seen Qingfeng Li send Qingyang Xue flying with a single punch, the self-cultivators gathered around stared on in shock, their mouths agape wide enough to fit an egg.

Silence.

The entire street was so silent that the drop of a pin could be heard.

The crowd, which had just been chattering nonstop, was now completely quiet. Not a single person spoke.

They had all been stunned by Qingfeng Li’s strength. Even the Princess of the high-tier dynasty, who had been standing in the crowd, parted her ruby lips in shock. Her bright eyes widened in surprise.

Before this, most self-cultivators didn’t know of Qingfeng Li. They had only heard about the infamous Qingyang Xue, who was ranked tenth on the Devil Rankings.

Many self-cultivators had died by his hand and even some spirit monarch realm masters had been defeated by him. But now, such a powerful devil had been sent flying by Qingfeng Li, and with only one punch.

The crowd’s gaze traced along Qingfeng Li’s fist in the direction that Qingyang Xue had been thrown in. They saw that, after he had snapped the ancient tree in half, he had continued flying through a spiritual treasure store. The tall building had crumbled under the impact, and the self-cultivators who had been shopping inside ran screaming from the ruins.

Finally, Qingyang Xue’s body slammed into the city wall. He spat out a spurt of blood before sliding slowly to the ground. He stared at Qingfeng Li with a bitter expression, his face pale as fresh snow. Then, his head fell to the side as he lost consciousness.

With one punch, Qingyang Xue, a fourth-cla.s.s spirit monarch realm master, had been knocked out. What incredible strength was this? It was brutal.

After a few minutes, the silent streets finally began to resume its activity. The crowd looked on in excitement, their voices loud.

“What did I just see? I can’t believe I just saw the Great Devil Qingyang Xue defeated by a young man with one punch. I feel like I’m dreaming!”

“This is no dream. I tell you, this young man is no simple character. I think I’ve heard that his name is Qingfeng Li.”

“Qingfeng Li… I’ve heard of him. Didn’t he kill the White Hair Devil? But I heard that he only ranked number twenty on the Devil Rankings.”

“That was before. From now on, Qingfeng Li will rank tenth on the Devil Rankings.”

“No only that, I feel that he might even make it into the top five. After all, it only took him one punch to send Qingyang Xue flying.”

All around, the self-cultivators whispered among themselves. Many now looked toward Qingfeng Li with a hint of apprehension in their eyes. This was fear for a Great Devil. After all, devils had terrible reputations among self-cultivators.

The Princess of the high-tier dynasty also gave a small sigh. An odd look crossed her lovely eyes as she looked at Qingfeng Li, there was a hint of admiration in them.

Qingfeng Li looked over at the unconscious form of Qingyang Xue. “Piece of trash,” he muttered, “and you dared to act c.o.c.ky in front of me.”

Turning, Qingfeng Li walked back to the Peach Blossom She-Devil and the other women.

Walking up to the Peach Blossom She-Devil’s side, Qingfeng Li spoke to her in a low tone, “Pretty Big Sister, I told you there was no need to worry. From now on, if anyone dares to try to take you away, you just tell me. Qingyang Xue is an example of what will happen to them.”

The Peach Blossom She-Devil gave him a flirtatious glance. There were sparkles in her eyes, and they were full of admiration. She had thought that Qingfeng Li wouldn’t be able to handle Qingyang Xue.

After all, Qingyang Xue was notorious. Being the tenth place on the Devil Rankings, he was renowned among all devils. She hadn’t thought that Qingfeng Li would be able to send him flying with one punch, and knock him right out at that.

Such a deed was something that even the top ranking devils on the Devil Rankings might not be able to reproduce.

The Peach Blossom She-Devil reached out a tender hand and hooked it around Qingfeng Li’s arm. “Be sure to protect your Big Sister then,” she said, wearing a seductive expression. “Big Sister is going to hang out with you from now on.”

The Peach Blossom She-Devil’s voice was suggestive, seeming to be trying to tempt Qingfeng Li. Seeing this, Mengyao Xu and Ya Yun both seemed rather displeased. They hurried over, each latching on to one of Qingfeng Li’s arms and pus.h.i.+ng the Peach Blossom She-Devil away.

The Peach Blossom She-Devil was furious. But she thought of Mengyao Xu’s power and did not retaliate.

Qingfeng Li smiled. “Let’s go,” he said, “we’ll find an inn in the city and settle down first. Then we can ask around about Xue Lin.”

At the same time as this was happening, thirty thousand kilometers from here, several figures were scaling a ma.s.sive mountain. These were Xue Lin, her Master, and Tian Xuan, along with the Crown Prince of the Wind Eagle Dynasty.

The mountain was ridiculously tall, towering at a full ten thousand meters. However, the Crown Prince of the Wind Eagle Dynasty was very powerful. In addition, he had powerful spiritual treasures. Against all odds, they had managed to climb over the mountain.

The process had been a perilous one. Along the way, they had encountered a level 5 monarch realm demonic beast. However, the two old men with the Crown Prince were powerful too. These were actually two spirit monarch realm Fifth Cla.s.s masters. With a single strike of their palms, they had slain the monstrous level 5 monarch realm demonic beast.

Xue Lin’s master was shaken by the scene. She tugged on Xue Lin’s arm, whispering cautiously, “Lil’ Xue, didn’t you see? That Yifan Feng is incredibly strong. As expected of the Crown Prince of a high-tier dynasty. I can’t believe that the old men with him are masters of the spirit monarch realm level 5. If you can make friends with them, our safety would be a.s.sured.”

The Sect Master of the Dark Ice Sect had already decided to tag along with Yifan Feng.

Hearing what the sect master of the Dark Ice Sect had said, an expression of repulsion appeared on Xue Lin’s exquisite face. She felt a wave of disappointment in her master.

Xue Lin had thought that her master was a prideful person. But after they had entered the Mysterious Sun Realm, her Master had been injured repeatedly. After so many defeats by the hands of self-cultivators and demonic beasts, her confidence and pride had been completely crushed.

All the sect master of the Dark Ice Sect wanted now was to get to a high-tier dynasty and grab onto some powerful organization.

From the sect master’s standpoint, the Crown Prince of the Wind Eagle High-Tier Dynasty was no doubt a millionaire bachelor. All she wanted to do was to follow him.

Xue Lin, on the other hand, had no such intentions. There was only one reason she’ ha come to the Mysterious Sun Realm from the Dark Ice Sect, which was located in the northernmost reaches of the Crimson Fire Continent. That reason was to find her husband, Qingfeng Li.

As for anyone else, no matter how powerful, influential, or attractive they might be, she had no interest whatsoever. No one could take over Qingfeng Li’s place in her heart.

Xue Lin drew her hand away from her Master. “Master,” she whispered, “Do not say anything like that again. You should know why I came to the Mysterious Sun Realm.”

Hearing Xue Lin’s words, the sect master of the Dark Ice Sect sighed inwardly. She naturally knew that Xue Lin was here to find Qingfeng Li. However, the sect master of the Dark Ice Sect thought that Qingfeng Li must be some common self-cultivator. All the time they had been in the Mysterious Sun Realm, not once had she heard of Qingfeng Li. And on top of that, he wasn’t that strong either. There was no way he could compare with Yifan Feng.

But since Xue Lin loved Qingfeng Li so much, the sect master of the Dark Ice Sect could only let her be.

In front of them, driving the flying spiritual-treasure, was Yifan Feng. After hearing the exchange between Xue Lin and her Master, his brows furrowed. A cold light flashed across his eyes.

From the moment he laid eyes on Xue Lin, he had fallen for her. He wanted Xue Lin for himself.
