67 The Fiancée’s Counterattack
Zi Xunyi, skeptical, asked with a frown, “How do you know?”
Huangfu Wenqing crossed her arms, forcing a slight smile, and snorted proudly. “Because I’m also reborn.”
“What?” Zi Xunyi was shocked again, but remembering her own lie, she didn’t rule out the possibility that Huangfu Wenqing was also lying. “That’s absurd!”
“I’m not lying!” Huangfu Wenqing retorted. “If you don’t believe me, we can compare our knowledge of future secrets or events.”
Seeing Huangfu Wenqing’s confidence, Zi Xunyi’s heart skipped a beat.
“Tell me.”
“For example, the mastermind behind the Demon Realm is the Evil God Clan, one of the ten great God Clans. The Demon Realm’s second-in-command is known as the ‘Demonic Consort,’ the last direct descendant of the ancient Evil God, and she cultivates Death Mystic Power. And the Demon Realm’s leader is an even more mysterious outsider whose true identity remains unknown even after being defeated by Yan Zhen. However, his cultivation reached the Divine Spirit Realm, comparable to a Celestial Sovereign.”
The Demon Realm, a nefarious organization harboring evil cultivators, traitors, and wanted criminals, was like a malignant tumor spreading across the seven continents. Its motives, leadership, and specific locations were all shrouded in mystery.
Since the Demon Realm only existed in the seven continents of the Mystic Heaven Continent and never appeared in the Eighth Continent, Zi Xunyi’s knowledge of it was limited to books. Hearing Huangfu Wenqing’s words, she was inwardly shocked.
The Evil God Clan, like the Demon Realm, was also incredibly mysterious. They had been absent from the God Clans’ grandest event, the centennial “Ancestral God Festival,” for several consecutive times. The ten great God Clans had practically become nine.
She had initially thought that the Evil God Clan had simply gone into seclusion. She hadn’t expected them to disregard the ancient agreement and secretly develop their influence in the seven continents.
And the Demon Realm’s leader, he actually reached the Divine Spirit Realm? In this era, the path to godhood should have been severed.
Above the Saint Realm was Celestial Sovereign, not Divine Spirit. Few cultivators even knew that the realm above Saint was originally Divine.
And Celestial Sovereigns, there could only be two in an era, one Emperor, one Sovereign. The current Mystic Heaven Continent hadn’t seen a new Celestial Sovereign in nearly ten thousand years.
Wait…
“You said the Demon Realm’s leader was defeated by Yan Zhen?”
“Who else? Only Yan Zhen, with the power of Extreme Flames, reached the Celestial Sovereign Realm and defeated the Demon Realm’s leader. Unfortunately, he didn’t truly die. A wisp of his soul escaped the Mystic Heaven Continent.”
Huangfu Wenqing looked at Zi Xunyi suspiciously. She didn’t seem to be bluffing but genuinely unaware of these events.
Zi Xunyi was once again shocked.
Yan Zhen, her future husband, would become the first Celestial Sovereign in ten thousand years? No wonder her clan agreed to their marriage. Otherwise, their union would have faced insurmountable obstacles.
She composed herself, maintaining a calm façade, and quickly changed the subject to avoid exposing her lie. “I didn’t expect you to also be reborn… Do you know why you were reborn?”
Huangfu Wenqing shook her head. “I don’t know. I just woke up one day and found myself back in the present from over a decade in the future. It took me several attempts to confirm that I was truly reborn—was it the same for you?”
Zi Xunyi nodded vaguely, her mind racing.
Yan Zhen was reborn, and Huangfu Wenqing was also reborn. Could there be others? Perhaps… herself?
She had dreamt of her future self multiple times and also dreamt of seemingly future events.
—That “Sister Cai Lian” in my dream, the woman who married Yan Zhen with me!
She had mentioned “Sister Cai Lian” earlier, intending to deceive Huangfu Wenqing. But Huangfu Wenqing, being reborn, didn’t question it. Did this mean “Sister Cai Lian” was a real person, and she truly would marry Yan Zhen along with her in the future?
But Yan Zhen said she was his only wife. Was he lying?
Zi Xunyi bit her lip.
Her future self, for some reason, accepted another woman, but her current self wasn’t ready for that. Yan Zhen, knowing this, deliberately told her she was the only one.
—That rascal!
“Let’s not talk about this anymore… In any case, my husband is my husband. No matter what you do, you can’t steal him away.”
Huangfu Wenqing retorted, not backing down, “Don’t be so smug. You’re only marrying Yan Zhen because of the marriage alliance between the Celestial God Clan and the Jiā Lán Sacred Ground. I’m already his fiancée, and my Master is his first love. We’ll see who has the last laugh!”
The two women glared at each other, their gazes clashing like lightning.
On the bed, Long Ying, who had woken up quietly, stared at them, dumbfounded.
So, both Sister Xunyi and the annoying green-haired woman were reborn, just like her. She had thought she was the only one. And she had said all those things in front of Sister Xunyi… Had she exposed herself?
Sister Xunyi was so smart; she would immediately realize that she was deliberately acting like a child to stay close to Yan Zhen… So embarrassing~~~

“Ahem.”
A cough startled Long Ying, breaking the tense atmosphere.
Zi Xunyi and Huangfu Wenqing looked away and went to the bedside to check on Yan Zhen.
“How are you feeling, Yan Zhen?”
They spoke almost simultaneously.
Yan Zhen, having just woken up, was still a bit groggy, but hearing their voices, he instantly became alert.
His fiancée and his future wife had met. Had he been exposed?
“Wenqing, why… why are you here?”
“You’re injured, of course I came to see you.” Huangfu Wenqing’s expression was slightly reproachful. “Or is there something you don’t want me to see?”
“Cough, cough, my chest hurts again… I can’t breathe… I feel so weak… am I dying?”
“It must be because you exhausted your Mystic Power dispelling the palm’s energy. I-I’ll transfer some of my Qi to you.”
“?”
Before Yan Zhen could react, Huangfu Wenqing, right in front of Zi Xunyi, kissed him and transferred her Wind Mystic Power to him.
The gentle Wind Mystic Power stimulated the Fire Mystic Power within his body, helping him circulate it and regain his strength.
However, instead of focusing on healing, Yan Zhen stared at his fiancée’s face so close to his, then his gaze shifted upwards, meeting Zi Xunyi’s eyes.
Zi Xunyi was stunned, not expecting Huangfu Wenqing to be so bold as to kiss her future husband right in front of her!
Not just a kiss, but a deep, passionate kiss with tongue… This wasn’t just “transferring Qi.”
How dare she!
This was a blatant provocation! No, it was a declaration of war!
Zi Xunyi’s face flushed with anger, watching Huangfu Wenqing swallow Yan Zhen’s saliva. A feeling of jealousy welled up within her, and she couldn’t help but shout, “You… you two… stop it!”
