Chapter 742: Chapter 99: The fierce wife violently beats Youqing! Tianyan actually... (Seeking monthly votes)_3

Wang Zong’an was so frightened that he stopped breathing.

No, no, no way? This Tianyan Fairy dared to charge up even after witnessing his mother’s power, does she not value her life?

Unexpectedly, the development of the situation was completely beyond his expectations.

"Sister, you’re so mighty, sister, you’re so imposing." As soon as she reached Liu Ruolan, Tianyan Fairy approached her like a reliant little bird, playfully whining, "Earlier, I was worried about sister~~ who would have thought that mere Cao Youqing, that vile person, could never be a match for sister?"

"Sister, that move you did earlier was so imposing. Little Yan’Er felt like she saw a Divine Lady descending to earth, unmatched in beauty and talent. Who knows how many lifetimes of blessings Young Master Shouzhe cultivated to marry a celestial like sister."

"Sister, your skin is so good, could it be that you’re using the Wang Family’s skincare series? Ah, you’re not using it? Wuwu~ comparing oneself to others only leads to anger~ Sister’s beauty is natural and unmatched, truly no ordinary woman can compare..."

Her expression, her demeanor, her words, were simply more fawning than Wang Shouzhe and Wang Zong’an, even more shameless.

Wang Zong’an’s eyes widened in shock, and even the usually calm Wang Shouzhe was left dumbfounded, confused beyond measure.

A quarter of an hour later.

Liu Ruolan was already enjoying the compliments, feeling relaxed. The two women gathered side by side, discussing skin care, cooking, and other usual feminine topics.

Under Tianyan Fairy’s flattery, Liu Ruolan’s "Culinary God Descent" bloodline was once again itching, inviting Tianyan Fairy back to the Wang Family as a guest, where she would personally cook for her...

Wang Shouzhe and his son exchanged glances, could it be that this Tianyan Fairy had such an agenda?

Perhaps, she plans to take a roundabout way to address the situation?

...

Following the death of Cao Youqing, a few days later, the Cao Family’s "Ancestor Kunhao" also fell at the edge of Qingluo Sea, under the siege of three Purple Mansion Cultivators.

Compared to Celestial Human Realm cultivators, the survival ability of Purple Mansion Realm cultivators is much stronger, not to mention someone like "Ancestor Kunhao," who has lived for centuries and accumulated countless trump cards, making it much harder for them to fall naturally.

To defeat him with three against one was already considered a remarkable achievement.

It wasn’t long before.

This matter spread throughout Longzuo County and Liaoyuan County, with the news even reaching places like Qeng’an County.

The number of Purple Mansion Realm cultivators is very few. Besides dying of old age and natural causes, or falling on the Outer Domain battlefield, instances of dying in internal conflicts are uncommon. Moreover, with Ancestor Kunhao’s fall, there was also the celestial pride from the Saint Land, Cao Youqing.

This incident naturally sparked widespread discussion and attention.

However, the Commander of Longzuo County, Taishi An Kang, had long been prepared, submitting the pre-collected evidence to the Capital City and the Saint Land to prove that Ancestor Kunhao and Cao Youqing were the first to commit crimes, seeking their own demise, while Wang Shouzhe and others were merely "passively" defending and countering.

The investigation and changes involved are not expounded in detail here.

For most people, this news was just a topic of conversation over meals.

However, for the Liaoyuan Cao Family, it was a shocking disaster.

While the family was still trapped in grief and mourning, a crisis arrived in quick succession.

Former rivals extended their claws, starting to suppress and bully the Cao Family. As for the former allies, the more tactful ones simply avoided them, fearing involvement, while the less scrupulous ones began to add insult to injury, attempting to seize a share.

Whether the Cao Family can get through this hurdle is still uncertain, but their decline has become a foregone conclusion.

Conversely, as the ultimate victors in this instance, the prominence and prestige of the Longzuo Qian Family and the Changning Wang Family surged quickly in Longzuo and Liaoyuan Counties, surpassing even the local other Purple Mansion Families in the short term.

...

Meanwhile.

Outside the Southern Desert County, it was no longer the territory of the Daqian Kingdom.

Beyond the vast Outer Domain grasslands and desert areas, to the north lies an expansive forested no-man’s land.

Beyond this forested no-man’s land, heading further north, one arrives at a relatively flat terrain with a less complicated environment plateau known as the "Desert North Plateau."

On this plateau lives a people who rely on hunting and nomadism for survival. They call themselves "Kuyesva."

"Kuyesva" in their language system means "Children of Sky and Earth."

The "Kuyesva" regards the Great Peng and the Ancient Blue Wolf as their totems, believing they are the descendants of these "Sky-soaring Kings," the Golden-winged Rocs, and "Earth-roaming Kings," the Ancient Blue Wolves—beloved children of the sky and the earth.

Within the Daqian Kingdom, they are known by another name—the "Desert Barbarian Race."

The Desert Barbarian Race is a vassal of the Daqian Kingdom, honoring the Daqian Kingdom as their sovereign country, sending trade caravans to the Daqian Kingdom every ten years, with the Daqian sending trade caravans to Desert North in return.

Many popular breeds of cattle and horses in the Daqian Kingdom today, such as the northern heavy draft horses, northern meat cattle, etc., trace their lineage to a mix of local and Desert North breeds.

Correspondingly, Daqian’s influence on the Desert Barbarian Race is substantial.

The heirs of Desert North, upon becoming prince, would go to the Lingyun Sacred Land in Daqian to study for decades before returning to inherit the throne.

Over thousands of years, Daqian’s culture has deeply rooted itself in Desert North.
