After the Engagement Was Broken Off, I Was Pursued by Peerless Holy Maidens - Chapter 11:

Chapter 11: Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Fire Holy Land – Zhao Lingxuan:

“Don’t tell me… she’s another Holy Maiden?”

The moment the girl appeared, this thought popped into the minds of everyone present.

There was Yu Siya from the Heavenly Fox Holy Land, and Lin Wanqing from the Extreme Ice Sacred Land—so where was this one from?

Had these people planned this in advance? One after another, they kept showing up.

“Old man, another daughter-in-law just arrived,” Xia Feng’s mother said excitedly. “Our little Feng is amazing—he’s managed to win over three top-tier girls at once! If only we could bring them all home as daughters-in-law.”

Xia Feng’s father rolled his eyes and replied grumpily, “That’s not what you said back then. You used to go on about how a man should be faithful to just one woman. Now that it’s your son, you suddenly forget that?”

“How is that the same?” Xia Feng’s mother shot him a glare, then turned her attention back to the girl approaching them. But something suddenly felt off. She glanced back at her husband and asked suspiciously, “Old man, don’t tell me you’ve got your eye on some old lady now?”

“No, no, not at all! I’m just making a casual comment,” Xia Feng’s father quickly shook his head and waved his hands in denial.

“It better be just that.” Xia Feng’s mother turned back again and resumed watching the girl.

Hearing his parents’ conversation, Xia Feng was speechless.

Could they not have this conversation in private? Did they really think the two top-tier Holy Maidens beside him were deaf?

“Uncle and Auntie are quite amusing,” Yu Siya giggled.

Lin Wanqing also nodded in agreement.

“Heh…” All Xia Feng could do was force a couple of awkward laughs, then once again turned his gaze to the approaching girl.

“Huh?”

Suddenly, the girl stopped walking. Her eyes shifted to Liu Shiyu, who stood trembling from the cold nearby. Frowning slightly, she asked, “You’re Liu Shiyu? The one who broke off the engagement at the banquet and humiliated my husband?”

Liu Shiyu’s face turned ugly, seething with anger inside.

Another one throwing herself at him?

What’s so good about that useless man?

“You’re not even that good-looking,” the girl said after examining Liu Shiyu briefly. Without mercy, she continued, “You’re not even as pretty as one of my handmaidens. A guy like my husband giving you attention is a blessing earned over eight lifetimes. What right do you have to call off the engagement?”

Liu Shiyu clenched her fists and lowered her head slowly, not daring to let the girl see the fury in her eyes.

“And with that pitiful talent of yours… you only reached the 1st stage Earth Realm at fifteen, and you dare call yourself the pride of Xingyu City? You’re not even qualified to carry my husband’s shoes,” the girl continued coldly.

Many of the guests present were cultivators themselves. Hearing that, they hung their heads in shame.

Reaching the 1st stage Earth Realm at fifteen was already considered an incredible feat in their eyes.

But in this girl’s mouth, it was worthless.

By that measure, didn’t it mean their talent was even worse than Liu Shiyu’s? They might as well go find a rock and bash their heads in…

“Even so, I’m still better than Xia Feng,” Liu Shiyu finally couldn’t hold back and lifted her head to argue. But this time, she didn’t dare call him trash.

Smack!

The girl slapped Liu Shiyu hard across the face, knocking her to the ground. Her tone was cold: “You? Compare yourself to my husband?”

Based on the changes in aura, and everything happening in the restaurant, she was now certain—it wasn’t a dream. She must have seen a glimpse of the future.

Even if her husband was just a martial novice right now, someone who hadn’t cultivated any inner strength, he would soon rise like a storm, and his cultivation speed would shock the entire empire… even the entire Primordial Heaven Continent.

And this Liu Shiyu, who only reached the 1st stage Earth Realm at fifteen, dared to compare herself to her husband?

“Xiaoyu!”

Liu Tianxiang and his wife were shocked and quickly helped Liu Shiyu up.

Madam Liu, seeing the five bright red fingerprints on her daughter’s face, was blinded by rage. She stood up and shouted angrily at the girl, “How dare you hit my daughter for no reason!”

“She broke off the engagement at the banquet to humiliate my husband. Slapping her is already letting her off lightly,” the girl replied coldly.

In the dream, after Liu Shiyu broke off the engagement, Xia Feng and his entire family couldn’t raise their heads in Xingyu City for a long time.

Later, with the Mist Mountain Sect’s support, Liu Shiyu rose quickly in Xingyu City, replaced the Xia family as city lord, and drove them out—leaving them wandering without a home.

Now that she was here, she would never allow that dream to become reality.

“You…!” Madam Liu trembled with rage and wanted to retort, but Liu Tianxiang pulled her back.

“Enough. Let’s just leave,” he said, holding one hand on his wife, and the other on Liu Shiyu, ready to leave.

“Did I say you could leave?”

The girl’s voice was ice cold.

“What more do you want?” Liu Tianxiang said in a deep voice. “Surely you’re not planning to kill us in front of everyone over such a petty matter?”

“Kill you? Please. Dirtying my hands isn’t worth it.”

She glanced at Liu Tianxiang with disdain before turning her eyes back to Liu Shiyu. “I heard you joined the Mist Mountain Sect?”

Mist Mountain Sect—just a minor sect she’d heard of in her dream. Normally, she wouldn’t even bother remembering it.

“No, no! She’s not a disciple of the Mist Mountain Sect!” Yun Shan quickly spoke up, clearly trying to distance the sect from Liu Shiyu.

“Master!” Liu Shiyu looked at the Grand Elder of the Mist Mountain Sect, shouting anxiously.

The Grand Elder quickly raised his hands and said, “Miss, I’ve already expelled Liu Shiyu from my sect. She’s no longer my disciple and no longer affiliated with the Mist Mountain Sect. I also already knelt and apologized to Young Master Xia Feng for my previous offense. Our sect master even compensated him with ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones and a hundred thousand low-grade ones. From now on, I’ll show Young Master Xia the utmost respect and will never dare offend him again.”

He spoke rapidly, clearly afraid the girl might target him next.

Expelled from the sect?

The guests were dumbstruck.

If they remembered correctly, Liu Shiyu had just joined the Mist Mountain Sect and hadn’t even visited it yet. And now… she was expelled?

“Master, how could you…?” Liu Shiyu panicked.

Without the Mist Mountain Sect as her backing, how could the Liu family continue to stand in Xingyu City?

“She’s yours to deal with. I have matters to attend to at the sect, so I’ll be leaving now,” the Grand Elder said flatly. Compared to offending this terrifying girl, losing one decent disciple meant nothing.

“Scram.”

The girl frowned slightly. Thinking it over, she couldn’t find a good enough reason to keep them, so she waved her hand like swatting away a fly.

“Yes, yes.” The Grand Elder bowed deeply and asked cautiously, “May I ask for your name and origin, Miss?”

“What, so you can remember it and seek revenge later?” she raised an eyebrow and replied coldly.

“No, no! We’re leaving now!” The Grand Elder quickly waved his hands and, along with Yun Shan, hurried off.

“It’s fine if you know—my name is Zhao Lingxuan, from the Heavenly Fire Holy Land. Xia Feng is my husband. With the Heavenly Fire Holy Land behind him, if you try to take revenge later… I’ll burn your Mist Mountain Sect to ashes,” Zhao Lingxuan said coldly.

Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Fire Holy Land—Zhao Lingxuan?

Yun Shan and the Grand Elder of the Mist Mountain Sect staggered and almost collapsed to the floor.
