Chapter 2: Standing Up for My Fiancée—Can That Be Called Showing Off?

"Xiao... Xiao'er?"

Ye Zhantian's expression was filled with anguish as he let out a helpless sigh.

At this moment, he simply couldn't understand why Ye Xiao had refused to dissolve the engagement.

In Ye Zhantian's eyes, Gu Mingyue was not only useless now but also a burden.

Although Ye Xiao was the first-in-line successor of the Ye Family, he wasn't the only one.

The Ye Family had eight other major bloodlines and sequences.

To become the Divine Son of the Ye Family, one had to gain the submission of the other eight sequences.

With Ye Xiao's talent, he had reached the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm at just eighteen years old, an impressive feat.

If he had awakened a Sacred Body or Divine Body, securing the position of Divine Son would have been practically guaranteed.

But in the end, although Ye Xiao had triggered a heavenly phenomenon, he had only awakened the Double Pupils. In the short term, it would be difficult for him to crush the other eight monstrous talents.

"I heard that recently, among the common-born members of the main family, there has emerged a prodigy?"

After pondering for a moment, Ye Zhantian suddenly spoke.

"The person Master is referring to must be Ye Fan. Indeed, this young man recently awakened a Supreme Bone."

Ye Lang, the eldest elder of the Ye Family's main bloodline, nodded slightly, his eyes reflecting admiration.

"Bring him to the ancestral shrine to see me."

"Hmm?"

...

Heavenly Xuan Dao State, Ancient Phoenix Imperial Palace.

A woman dressed in a crimson phoenix robe, her skin flawless and delicate, sat on the imperial throne, coldly surveying the ministers of the Ancient Phoenix Dynasty.

Her beauty was extraordinary, her features exquisite, radiating an aura of elegance. The red cinnabar mark on her brow added to her regal and noble demeanor.

"Sister, your cultivation has been destroyed. Why don't you pass the throne to me so you can rest?"

Below the hall, another woman in a golden robe, her lips curved into a provocative smile, stared at Gu Mingyue with challenging eyes.

"This humble minister implores Her Majesty to prioritize the dynasty and abdicate the throne to Gu Yuetang."

"This humble minister agrees!"

"Oh?"

Gu Mingyue's beautiful eyes flickered as she looked down at the kneeling ministers, her expression calm and indifferent.

She didn't care about the throne because she was someone who had been reborn.

In her past life, she had been betrayed by Ye Xiao, and after being reborn, her cultivation had been sealed.

Now, this was the perfect opportunity to dissolve her engagement with Ye Xiao and focus on secluded cultivation.

In just ten years, she would regain her Supreme-level cultivation, reclaim everything, and then seek revenge against Ye Xiao, that devil.

"Hum..."

At that moment, a resonating hum echoed from outside the hall.

A figure clad in white descended from the sky and strode directly toward the palace.

"Greetings, Young Master Ye Xiao."

Outside the hall, two divine attendants of the Ancient Phoenix trembled under the weight of the youth's gaze, falling to their knees.

"Hmm? Ye Xiao?"

Upon seeing the visitor, the ministers of the Ancient Phoenix Dynasty exchanged glances, their minds racing with speculation.

Meanwhile, Gu Yuetang's lips curled into a faint smile as she stepped forward to greet Ye Xiao.

"Young Master Ye Xiao..."

Her steps were exaggerated, revealing a pair of long, snow-white legs beneath her skirt, swaying gracefully and exuding charm.

If her guess was correct, Ye Xiao had come here to dissolve the engagement.

How could the first-in-line successor of the Ye Family possibly marry a powerless empress?

If she could seamlessly take over as Ye Xiao's fiancée, then... no one in the Heavenly Xuan Dao State would dare question her authority.

Ye Xiao not only had a powerful background but also possessed outstanding talent and looks, his divine visage unmatched.

Especially those deep, pitch-black Double Pupils of his—they resembled an ancient abyss, drawing people in and making them unable to look away, waiting... for him to make his move.

"Master... you've come to dissolve the engagement, haven't you?"

Gu Yuetang covered her mouth and giggled, casting a careful glance at Ye Xiao.

"Hmm?"

Ye Xiao's brows furrowed slightly, and without a moment's hesitation, he reached out his hand and delivered a resounding slap across Gu Yuetang's face.

"Slap."

As the crisp sound of the slap echoed, the flirtatiousness in Gu Yuetang's eyes vanished, replaced by utter shock.

Under the astonished gazes of the ministers, her body flew backward and collapsed onto the ground, half of her face shattered.

Dead silence!!

Everyone stared at the youthful, divine-looking young man, confusion and disbelief swirling in their eyes.

"Flirting all day—since when did I become your 'brother'? And who said I came here to dissolve the engagement?"

Ye Xiao's tone was icy, his voice emotionless.

"Hmm?"

In an instant, Gu Mingyue's previously languid posture straightened as she sat upright, her crimson phoenix robe accentuating her curves.

Her face now bore traces of astonishment as her delicate brows knitted together, her gaze piercing into Ye Xiao's eyes, searching for any cracks in his composure.

Not here to dissolve the engagement?

Based on her understanding of Ye Xiao, he was ruthless and self-serving. How could he possibly marry a powerless woman?

At the same time, as Ye Xiao's gaze fell on Gu Mingyue, a chill surged up from the soles of his feet, nearly blowing off the top of his head.

[Destined Woman: Gu Mingyue]

[Golden Finger: Nirvana Seal]

[Template: Supreme Rebirth Flow]

[Identity: Empress of the Ancient Phoenix Dynasty, Host's fiancée from the previous life]

[Plot Direction: In her past life, the Destined Woman fell during her wedding night after the Host forcibly devoured her bloodline. After being reborn and awakening her memories, she will break the Nirvana Seal in ten years and seek revenge against the Host.]

Hiss... Not a dissolution-of-engagement flow!!

Ye Xiao had originally assumed that Gu Mingyue's storyline would follow the simple dissolution-of-engagement trope.

But this wasn't a dissolution-of-engagement story—it was a revenge story where a powerful female protagonist tears apart a despicable male antagonist.

At this moment, he finally understood why Gu Mingyue hadn't hidden the fact that her cultivation had been destroyed but instead made it known throughout the Heavenly Xuan Dao State.

She likely wanted to use this as an excuse to dissolve her engagement with him and retreat into seclusion to recover her strength.

But looking at the astonishment flickering in Gu Mingyue's eyes, a bold plan suddenly formed in Ye Xiao's mind.

Without hesitation, he walked up to an elderly minister with white hair, grabbed him by the hair, and lifted him into the air. "What did you just say?"

This scene caused the ministers' eyes to tremble with anger, yet none dared to move.

"Hmph! You brat of the Ye Family, how dare you be so arrogant and disrespectful! I am Wei Silǐ, the veteran prime minister of two dynasties!"

"Slap."

Before the old minister could finish his sentence, Ye Xiao slapped him, leaving his mouth bloody and his face mangled.

"I asked you what you just said."

Ye Xiao's brows furrowed slightly, a chilling light flashing in his Double Pupils as his imposing presence filled the heavens.

Instantly, the atmosphere in the entire hall became oppressive, even the powerful experts of the Ancient Phoenix Dynasty trembling under his might.

"Gu Mingyue's cultivation has been destroyed, rendering her useless. The throne must be passed to her younger sister, Gu Yuetang."

Wei Silǐ clenched his teeth, his aged face filled with hatred.

"Crack."

As soon as his words left his mouth, Ye Xiao tightened his grip, crushing the head of the veteran prime minister into pieces.

"Gulp."

The entire hall fell into a deathly silence.

Even Gu Mingyue stood up abruptly, a hint of coldness flickering in her beautiful eyes.

He hasn't changed—he's still as cruel and merciless as ever.

"My fiancée, even if she were to become an ordinary mortal, shall not be bullied by anyone."

Ye Xiao's tone was emotionless as his gaze suddenly fell upon Gu Yuetang.

At that moment, the face of this princess of the Ancient Phoenix Dynasty turned deathly pale, her delicate body trembling. Beneath her long skirt, a yellowish stain trickled down her snow-white thighs.

Trickle trickle...

Ye Xiao, you're amazing, aren't you? So noble, using my life to build your image?

"In the future... whoever dares to harm Gu Mingyue, whether they are immortals, saints, gods, or demons—I will slay them all."
