Chapter 1158: Happily meeting with the slu (2/2)

She stared at her stomach and felt like her baby was already screwing her over from the womb.

The sedan chair made their travels longer, so by the time they arrived at the mountain, Gu Beiyue was already napping at the base of the big tree. Dressed in white and leaning against the trunk beneath the dappled sunshine, he looked like an errant angel passing by chance through Earth. One wanted to approach him even as they yearned to leave him undisturbed.

Before they got close, Gu Beiyue opened his eyes. He quickly rose to his feet and strode forward politely. “Your Highness, princess.”

In that moment, Han Yunxi had a thought flash through her head. I don’t really know Gu Beiyue well at all. I don’t think I’ve ever seen his true self.

Just what kind of man is he?

“You’ve found her?” Long Feiye asked.

“She’s in a hidden chamber on Level 3. There’s enough food and rations there to last her four to five days,” Gu Beiyue reported. When he found her, Duanmu Yao had done her best to buy time and even offered up her body so he could let her go. He didn’t tell the couple about this, but simply asked, “Princess, will you go down right now?”

“Lead the way!” Han Yunxi’s eyes were cold.

She could spare anyone else, but showing Duanmu Yao mercy would leave her regret for the rest of her life!

Gu Beiyue took the lead as Long Feiye shielded Han Yunxi down the caves. The trio soon found the room on the third level. The switch to the cell was located on the outer wall, which means Duanmu Yao had no way of getting out on her own unless somebody else opened the door. Han Yunxi pressed the switch as she murmured, “Both of you get back. Men shouldn’t get involved in women’s matters.”

She had a selfish motive: to keep Duanmu Yao from seeing a single glimpse of Long Feiye!

Leaving aside the fact that Duanmu Yao would have plenty of trouble recovering her martial arts, even her full strength would be a far cry from Han Yunxi now. Thus, Long Feiye had no worries. Without a word, he went to the end of the tunnel and leaned against the wall to wait. Gu Beiyue walked to the opposite end and did the same. Han Yunxi glanced back between them and grinned at both men. It was clear that she was in a great mood!

And it was rare for her to feel so happy seeing Duanmu Yao.

Slowly, the stone door rose. Duanmu Yao thought that Gu Beiyue had thought things through and decided to save her, but she saw the face she absolutely detested instead.

“Han Yunxi!” she cried.

“Long time no see, Princess Yao!” Han Yunxi chuckled as she went inside.

Duanmu Yao immediately backed away. She found out everything about Han Yunxi from Bai Yanqing, including her birth origins, poison skills, and Phoenix power. She was clear that she was no match for this woman. Either she escaped, or she would die!

Han Yunxi simply caressed her stomach and smiled at her. Scared to death, Duanmu Yao’s gaze shifted towards the movement before she finally noticed. Shocked, she shriekd, “You! You…”

Han Yunxi stood unmoving as she rested her free hand on her hips. Her face was wreathed in joy. “It’s Long Feiye’s child.”

What was the most aggravating thing to tell your love rival? What could cut them the deepest and pierce through their ears?

Long Feiye’s child!

Long Feiye gave her a child!

After all, there was a world of difference between a man accepting a woman and accepting that woman bearing his child! It was clear that the latter woman was the victor! Duanmu Yao had already given up all hope towards Long Feiye, leaving her with nothing but hatred! But when she heard these words and saw Han Yunxi’s stomach, her heart seemed pierced with knives. No matter how hard she worked, she couldn’t avoid the truth! No matter how bitterly she hated, she couldn’t escape her heartache!

She suddenly wanted to sob her heart out!

Duanmu Yao had never admitted her loss, even with her martial arts gone and her face ruined, even knowing full well that Bai Yanqing was only using her to destroy Celestial Mountain, even when Gu Beiyue refused her pleas to let her go and shut her back in her cell. She didn’t feel like she lost even when Han Yunxi was the one to open the door.

But the mention of a “child” had stripped her of all hope and left her broken. The piercing pains in her heart made it difficult to breathe. It reminded her that she still deeply loved that man. Thus, she was the ultimate loser in the end!

“Han Yunxi, if you came to gloat, then you win! You’ve won, alright?!” Duanmu Yao sobbed.

“Do you acknowledge your loss?” Han Yunxi’s smile faded to be replaced with ice. “Unfortunately, it’s too late!”

She took out her Moye sword and declared, “I’m not here to gloat. Long Feiye loves me, dotes on me, and spoils me. It’s enough if I know that because it has nothing to do with you. Today I’m here to eliminate a scourge on behalf of my master’s sect!”

Duanmu Yao was lost. “Your master’s sect?” she questioned.
