Chasing after her husband? Is it even possible to win him back?

For a moment, no one spoke.

Chapter 10, Two Women Make a Drama

Who agrees, and who disagrees?

For a moment, no one spoke.

The little beast, curled up in Si You's arms, gently flicked its tail, opened its eyes, looked around at the surrounding demons, and finally its gaze fell on Dang Kang.

"Since Bixie is still young, we will protect him until he returns to the royal family. What do you all think?"

Their wolfish ambitions have been fully exposed.

However... at this moment, even the Kui Du, who had shouted the loudest earlier, fell silent for a long time.

Chu Xunfeng stood at the edge of the group of demons, scrutinizing each one. Regardless of Kui Du Dang Kang Qie, he memorized the demon lords of the Chongming and Bifang clans, as well as Teng She, Xuan Mang, Shang Rou, and Shan Chan.

"Damn it, let's do it!" Kui Du shouted again, his eyes fixed on Dang Kang in the main seat. "Dang Kang, do you really mean what you say?"

“Of course, Brother Siyou has come all the way from Yan Kingdom. Their troops are already approaching the capital. There are more than 500 cultivators at the Third Profound Realm. Such sincerity cannot be faked.” Dang Kang smiled. “Moreover, I have heard that quite a few human cultivators have already entered the capital. The Dragon Clan is now in a dilemma. When they make their move, the Evil-Slaying Bloodline will completely crush the Dragon Clan.”

"If there is no decisive force, we will naturally have to proceed slowly. However, the Evil-Repelling Bloodline might cause infighting among the dragons. As you all know, there are quite a few dragons in the dragon race who resent the throne." Kang smiled, a confident smile.

The situation suddenly eased, and all the demons present breathed a sigh of relief, their worries dispelled and their expressions relaxed.

Next came the statements from the various clan leaders. Kui Du was the first to speak, followed by the other clan leaders and vassal kings, who all expressed their support for Dang Kang's use of the emperor to command the feudal lords.

At this point, Chu Xunfeng was no longer involved.

When Kang Duo mentioned that Chu Xunfeng possessed the supernatural powers of the Dragon Clan bloodline, and that he would participate in the Dragon Gate Leap as Kang Gong's representative during the Dragon Gate Gathering, he hoped that all the clan leaders would support him, and so on.

The demon clan leaders readily agreed and offered Chu Xunfeng some words of encouragement. Chu Xunfeng responded to each of their words, stating that although his abilities were meager, he would certainly contribute to their cause in the matter of leaping over the dragon gate.

I managed to become somewhat familiar with the area and pay my respects to some influential figures.

After that, Si You led them away. The banquet was for the patriarchs and vassal kings of the demon race, and it didn't involve Chu Xunfeng, Lu Ding, or even Si You.

Chu Xunfeng had gained a lot, but he couldn't leave the Kang family mansion for the time being, so he had to stay quiet and recuperate.

As night fell, a group of people slowly arrived at the west gate of the demon capital. The young man in black robes at the head of the group presented a visiting card to the city guards.

The invitation was quickly delivered to the commander of the city guards.

Xu Jiujing from Baidi City, along with his disciples and Xu Bailing, the daughter of the White Emperor, have come to participate in the Dragon Gate Gathering.

These few simple words made the Great Commander Xiong Yao immediately get up, rush out of the tent, and run quickly towards the west gate.

Xu Jiujing, the Grand Elder of Baidi City, is an extremely famous cultivator in the eastern part of Xu Kingdom. He was a powerful cultivator at the Life and Death Realm more than forty years ago. He is humble, upright, and highly respected. Since such a person did not enter the city quietly but instead presented a visiting card, it is natural that someone of sufficient importance is needed to receive him.

Commander Xiong himself was not qualified. After welcoming Xu Jiujing and his party, he quickly sent his scouts to inform Prince Ao Ning. He was not very clear about the relationship between Baidi City and Chu Xunfeng, but he was very clear about what Chu Xunfeng was doing now, including some rumors circulating outside.

Commander Xiong didn't know whether these people came because of Chu Xunfeng, but he needed to let his superiors know that these people had arrived so that he could make some preparations in advance.

He himself led Xu Jiujing and his group of eight toward Denglong Pavilion, located at the junction of the north and south city areas.

He occasionally introduced the situation of the demon race, but most of the time he was answering questions from Xu Jiujing and his group.

It wasn't until Xu Bailing, who had been following at the back of the group with a sword in her hand, that she suddenly asked, "Where does Chu Xunfeng stay around here?"

Commander Xiong, seeing that they were about to reach the Dragon Ascension Pavilion, pondered briefly and then smiled helplessly. "Young Master Chu's situation is very special, very special... It's not convenient for me to tell you all, because Young Master Chu is currently involved in some matters related to our demon race. It would be better to let the person who will be receiving you answer the questions."

After replying to that, Commander Xiong remained silent.

However, Xu Bailing was not satisfied with this answer. She snorted irritably, "That's not the answer to your question."

Commander Xiong's smile remained unchanged as he led the group into the Denglong Pavilion. "Gentlemen, this is the Denglong Pavilion, the most famous restaurant in the entire demon race. Please follow me upstairs."

Commander Xiong looked around at everyone as he spoke, but saw Xu Bailing standing at the gate, seemingly looking in a certain direction, without following him into the gate of Denglong Pavilion.

"Little Bell?" Xu Jiujing turned around and looked at his niece, who hadn't been as easy to take care of since Ningyi, and called out softly.

"I ran into an acquaintance, I'll go over and chat for a bit, I'll be right back. Commander, which floor are you on?" Xu Bailing turned around at the door and looked at Commander Xiong.

"Top floor. I'll let the waiter and manager know in a bit. Fairy can just go upstairs directly."

"Thank you." Xu Bailing nodded and walked towards a teahouse at the junction of the two urban areas.

Xu Bailing had only seen a familiar back view at first, but as she got closer, the two women at the tea table also noticed her.

Ning Qiuning, the Supreme Sword Sect Master of Bianzhou, and her personal maid.

"It really is you." Xu Bailing looked down at Ning Qiuning's somewhat sallow complexion, her tone inexplicably tinged with emotion. "You've also come to participate in the Dragon Gate Gathering?"

Ning Qiu Ning was suddenly confronted by this highly aggressive 'opponent,' who had come to her door when she was at her weakest. She pursed her lips and spoke softly, "Yes, aren't you the same?"

"No, I'm here to see Chu Xunfeng." Xu Bailing looked at Ning Qiuning, whose aura was much weaker than when she had seen her before.

Ning Qiu Ning remained silent for a while, but her maid glared at her and was about to speak when her mistress pulled her back, preventing her from saying anything.

"I don't know what makes you so arrogant." Ning Qiu Ning stopped the maid from speaking, not because she didn't want to clash with Xu Bai Ling, but because she wanted to confront Xu Bai Ling herself.

“In essence, you and I are the same.” Ning Qiu Ning raised her head slightly, her gaze fixed on Xu Bai Ling.

Xu Bailing was stunned, seemingly not expecting Ning Qiuning, who was only at the second level of cultivation, to have the confidence to argue with her.

However, she didn't care about Ning Qiuning's fighting spirit; instead, she found it laughable.

"You only know about the Southern Wilderness through hearsay, but I can tell you definitively."

"You and I are not the same."

"You hurt him with your own hands."

"But I was forced into it. He actually understands me. Of course, I'm not proud of that, but simply comparing the two, my situation is a little bit better than yours."

"Chu Xunfeng's ex-wife"

Xu Bailing smiled at Ning Qiuning.

Chapter 11, It's Okay If You Can't Find It

The words "ex-wife" sent a shiver down Ning Qiu Ning's spine.

Xu Bailing's tone wasn't sharp, but it was precisely that calm tone that delivered such sharp words that it felt like a sharp blade piercing the heart.

After all, as someone who practices swordsmanship, Ning Qiuning knows that the simpler the sword, the better, for killing.

To kill someone is to destroy their spirit.

"Heh..." Ning Qiu Ning took a deep breath, her tense body slowly relaxing. "Has Miss Xu finished speaking?"

Xu Bailing paused slightly.

"If you've finished speaking, Miss Xu probably has her own things to do. If you haven't finished, why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea before continuing?"

Upon hearing this, not only Xu Bailing, but even Ning Qiuning's maid stared at her mistress in astonishment.

Xu Bailing remained silent for a while. She couldn't tell whether Ning Qiuning was showing weakness or putting on a brave face, but she didn't intend to sit down and chat with Ning Qiuning. "Although I don't know what you're thinking now, I don't intend to find out. If you're really not afraid, I have no reason to interfere with what you do."

Ning Qiu Ning tilted her head slightly, looking down at Xu Bai Ling who was looking down at her. After a moment of silence, she suddenly spoke, "I have made my intentions clear again."

Xu Bailing, who was about to turn and leave, suddenly paused.

“Unlike Miss Xu’s sharp and relentless spirit, what I understand is the spirit of the Broken Sword.” Ning Qiu Ning gave a faint smile, which, combined with her frail appearance, made her somewhat pitiful.

“With a shared understanding of sword intent, I will catch up with you again soon, Miss Xu.” Ning Qiu Ning said, turning her gaze away from Xu Bai Ling, “Get ready.”

"The point isn't me." Xu Bailing's voice was colder and harder. "What does it have to do with me?"

Xu Bailing took a step and headed towards Denglong Pavilion.

"Miss..." The maid called out worriedly, looking at Ning Qiu Ning's somber and absent-minded face.

Ning Qiuning gave a forced smile and shook her head. "What she said is indeed correct."

This is not a competition between two people at all. If Xu Bailing is standing at the starting line, then Ning Qiuning is still some distance away from the starting line, and she was actually standing at the finish line.

We only feel regret when we lose something.

Even Ning Qiu Ning didn't know if she had the right to regret it.

However, she still had to meet him eventually, at least to say a few words to him, even if he didn't want to talk to her, she still had to apologize.

If forgiveness cannot be obtained, then there can be no new beginning.

Ning Qiu Ning knew this well, but she and her two elders from her sect had been in the demon capital for two days. Although they had learned a lot about Chu Xun Feng, they still couldn't find out where Chu Xun Feng was.

"In fact, Chu Xunfeng has completely escaped the Dragon Clan's surveillance now." Xu Bailing, who had just stepped onto the top floor of the Dragon Pavilion, heard a gentle male voice softly speaking.

Her gaze shifted to the dragon youth with the downy horns on his forehead.

Ao Ning also saw Xu Bailing. The two had met once before in the Southern Wilderness Mountains. Although the meeting did not end pleasantly, they were at least acquainted.

The Fourth Prince nodded slightly to Xu Bailing. After Xu Bailing sat down, Ao Ning continued, "Where were we... Well, Chu Xunfeng's current situation is somewhat special."

Ao Ning lightly tapped the folding fan in his right hand against his left palm. "You are all trustworthy people, so I don't mind saying this. However, I hope that after you hear it, you will not spread it around, and especially not talk about it outside of the Denglong Pavilion."

Xu Jiujing glanced around at his disciples, then nodded slightly, "Your Highness, please speak."

"In reality, our dragon race's situation among the demon race is not optimistic..."

Ao Ning gently recounted the current situation facing the demon race, and also emphasized how Chu Xunfeng had reached a consensus with her to cooperate.

“He is now essentially an inside agent for the Dragon Clan, lurking around Duke Kang. Although he hasn’t completely lost contact with us, he is now the only one who can contact us and pass on information,” Ao Ning said, shrugging helplessly.
