After the Engagement Was Broken Off, I Was Pursued by Peerless Holy Maidens - Chapter 7:

Chapter 7: So, You’re Liu Shiyu?

No one could understand it—what was so great about Xia Feng that made two peerless beauties fight over him?

The guests couldn’t help glancing again at Liu Shiyu, who was still kneeling on the floor. She used to be the pride of Xingyu City, joined Mist Mountain Sect, and became the disciple of its Grand Elder. During the engagement banquet, she broke off the engagement with Xia Feng, humiliating the Xia family, and enjoyed the spotlight.

Yet now, she knelt there in shame, not even daring to lift her head.

Yu Siya glanced indifferently at the newcomer. Not only did she not let go of Xia Feng’s hand, but she held it even tighter.

The blue-haired girl raised her brow, and her eyes—shimmering with faint blue light—flashed with anger. The temperature in the restaurant dropped several more degrees.

Frost began to form on the eyebrows and hair of many guests.

“So cold…”

Except for the Xia family and Yu Siya, everyone was shivering.

Even the kneeling Grand Elder of Mist Mountain Sect, a 9th stage Heaven Realm Martial Lord, couldn’t help but shudder.

“What a powerful ice-type force… Could this girl be…?”

The Grand Elder vaguely guessed the girl’s identity. Anyone who dared to ignore the Heavenly Fox Holy Maiden’s presence had to be a peerless Holy Maiden as well.

There was only one Holy Land in the entire continent known for such terrifying ice power—the Supreme Holy Land of Extreme Ice. And this girl… was likely the renowned Holy Maiden of Extreme Ice, who stood on equal footing with the Heavenly Fox Holy Maiden.

The thought alone filled him with dread.

Xia Feng… a sixteen-year-old who hadn’t even developed inner force yet, widely regarded as a complete failure—why were two supreme Holy Maidens fighting over him?

He couldn’t figure it out. No one could.

“Yu Siya, don’t test my patience,” the girl said coldly.

Yu Siya giggled, “Don’t talk like you could actually beat me.”

“Wanna try?” The blue-haired girl’s voice grew even icier, and the temperature in the room dropped again.

“Come on then.”
Yu Siya smiled calmly, completely unafraid.

“Uh… ladies, please, talk it out. There’s no need to fight,” Xia Feng interrupted at the perfect moment, breaking the tension.

“Husband doesn’t like fighting, so I won’t,” Yu Siya said sweetly, clinging to Xia Feng’s arm with a charming smile.

Xia Feng gave an awkward smile, not knowing how to respond.

“Demoness, he’s my husband!” the blue-haired girl snapped. With a flash, she appeared on Xia Feng’s other side, wrapping herself around his other arm and glaring fiercely at Yu Siya.

Another soft embrace—yet a completely different sensation.

Xia Feng froze in place, too stiff to move.

The guests’ eyes nearly popped out of their heads. Whether it was Yu Siya or the girl who came later, both were flawless beauties. And now, one on each side, holding onto Xia Feng. The shock was overwhelming.

“Hmph! Husband already agreed to marry me. You’re too late,” Yu Siya said seriously.

Xia Feng was stunned—when did I agree to marry you?

The girl scoffed. “How could Husband agree to marry you? Do you think I’m that easy to fool? And even if he did, so what? I’ll just snatch him away.”

Everyone watched the two girls bicker in disbelief.

Two women fighting over a man was rare enough—especially when one of them was one of the Great Xia Empire’s top ten Holy Maidens.

As for the other one—someone who wasn’t afraid of the Heavenly Fox Holy Maiden and even seemed to know her—their identity had to be extraordinary as well.

Yet these two extraordinary women were fighting over Xia Feng, a guy who hadn’t even reached the Martial Artist level?

It was madness.

“Who are you? Xia Feng is just some trash I discarded. What’s so good about him that you’re all fighting over him?”

Liu Shiyu, watching Xia Feng being embraced from both sides by women far more beautiful, powerful, and noble than herself, couldn’t take it anymore. Humiliation, anger, and jealousy all exploded at once. She shot to her feet and screamed hysterically.

The Grand Elder of Mist Mountain Sect looked up in horror, then quickly shuffled several steps away on his knees.

You damned idiot! If you want to die, don’t drag me down with you!

I, a 9th stage Heaven Realm Martial Lord, am kneeling here without daring to speak, and you’re just a 1st stage Earth Realm Martial Artist—how dare you act up now?

“Kneel!”

Yu Siya turned and glared at Liu Shiyu. Her terrifying aura alone forced Liu Shiyu to crash back down on her knees.

“Hm?”

The blue-haired girl, who had been locked in a standoff with Yu Siya, also turned to look at Liu Shiyu. Her eyes narrowed coldly. “You’re Liu Shiyu?”

“I…”

Liu Shiyu tried to lift her head and speak, but before she could finish, the girl flicked her hand.

A wave of icy power spread from beneath Liu Shiyu’s feet and instantly froze her entire body in solid ice.

The excruciating cold brought unbearable pain, yet her frozen body couldn’t move. She couldn’t even open her mouth to scream, but her expression, visible through the translucent ice, was one of sheer agony.

“Shiyu!”

Liu Tianxiang and his wife rushed over in panic. Just one touch of the ice sent stabbing cold through their skin.

It was hard to imagine how much pain Liu Shiyu was in.

Madam Liu turned to the girl and begged, “Miss, even if you like Xia Feng, there’s no need to treat our daughter this way. Relationships are about mutual affection. If our daughter doesn’t like Xia Feng, what’s wrong with breaking off the engagement?”

“There’s nothing wrong with breaking an engagement,” the girl said indifferently. “But as I understand it, my husband and Uncle Xia personally visited your home and asked to dissolve the engagement. You refused.”

“And now, just a few days later, you publicly break it off in front of everyone in Xingyu City. If you had ended it earlier, it’d be fine—you would’ve just proven yourselves blind. But what you did today was clearly meant to humiliate my husband and the Xia family. How could I let that slide?”

Everything she knew had come from the dream realm. She had even verified the details on her way here—reality matched the dream exactly. As Xia Feng’s future wife, of course she had to stand up for her man.

“Hearing her say it like that, it really does seem to be the case. I also heard Xia Feng and his father visited the Liu family a few days ago to discuss calling off the engagement, but Liu Shiyu and Liu Tianxiang turned them down. And now they cancel it here, at the banquet, in front of everyone? That’s shady for sure.”

The guests murmured among themselves.

Liu Tianxiang and his wife’s faces turned ashen. If Xia Feng had said this, no one would’ve cared. But now it came from this girl’s mouth—and the impact was entirely different.

“Even so, Shiyu doesn’t deserve to die. Please, I beg you, show mercy and let her go,” Liu Tianxiang pleaded.

“A girl with no discernment isn’t even worthy of dying by my hand,” the girl replied flatly. “This is just a little lesson. She won’t die.”
