Supreme Emperor of Mist

"Qing Yun!" Qin Lan wanted to stop her from moving in recklessly, but he was slightly too late. From the way she looks, she had been in the mood to pick a fight the moment the two sides met.

With the Violet Queen Whip in her hand, Lu Qing Yun pushes her strength to the limit as she descends from the elevated slope like an angel in a blue robe. The weapon in her hand screeches as it swirled behind her.

But her advances were hindered by two officers before she managed to get into Peng Yan's inner circle.

"Two second-level Bone Experts!" Lu Qing Yun smirked as she swings her whip forward. The long-ranged weapon of hers struck both officer's weapons while scaling up the slopes.

**Bang! Bang!**

It was just the tail of a mediocre whip. But when armed with Lu Qing Yun's precise Spiritual Qi, the blow was as heavy as a hammer.

Even in an exchange of two second-level experts against one, Lu Qing Yun was not losing in any way.

More of the Spiritual Qi was injected into the whip as she was a few meters above the ground. This made the soft whip become as hard as a walking cane, one with a length of three meters long on top of that.

The whip slowly returned to its soft appearance as she stood firmly on the ground.

"What are you all waiting for? Get down there and fight." Qin Lan pointed at where Lu Qing Yun lands and ordered the others to follow her track.

A battle immediately started between them. There are less than a hundred soldiers is each side, but all of them were skillful experts.

"Should we fight too?" Qin Lan pointed his sword at where Peng Yan is staying still. Her gaze was as sharp as ever when she stares back at him.

"Bring it on." Peng Yan said. The silver sword that was once in her hand was taken out, like a woman trying to retaliates from getting taken away by force from a bride stealers.

"No wonder Qing Yun said there's something wrong with her... Did she get brainwashed or hypnotized?" Qin Lan used the Thousand Miles Travel in a Step technique to move into the battlefield.

Under the assistance from the natural wind and his Spiritual Qi, he descends from the elevated slope just like how Lu Qing Yun just did.

The wind gently making his robe flutter as his elevation is slowly getting lower. But such an appearance is no longer attractive to Peng Yan because she had lost her interest in Qin Lan due to some unknown reason.

All that remained behind her eyes was a hint of prejudice and the traumatizing pain she felt on her left breast each time her gaze landed on him.

"Die! Pervert!" Peng Yan was the first to move as she closes the distance between them with a swift and deadly sword strike. The strength of a peak first-level Bone Expert came out instantly as she attacked Qin Lan fiercely.

*Ding!*

Qin Lan blocked her sword and grabbed her wrist using his left hand. There was a hint of an intention to wrestle with her when Qin Lan noticed that she changed her fighting tactics after his first move.

Because he was unaware of the extent of her boxing skills, Qin Lan got punched in the stomach by Peng Yan as she let go of the silver sword. As it was sensitive to her Spiritual Qi, her sword seems to retain some flying ability, although heavily restricted.

"Flying Swallow Sword Technique?" Qin Lan smiled as he sees how Peng Yan is doing her best to fight against him. Although the pain in his abdomen is quite bad, it was not to the point he's heavily injured.

"This girl... Let me force you to use the trick you use on me before." Qin Lan continued. Using the blunt side of his blade, he used the weapon to knock her elbow as made her lost her balance.

But before she fell on the ground buttock first, Qin Lan extends his hand to grab her waist. This action once again making Peng Yan felt that Qin Lan was a complete pervert for repeatedly touching her with every chance.

"You!" Peng Yan swings her palm at Qin Lan's face.contemporary romance

Just half an inch before it hit his face, her hand stopped. A hint of headache made her hesitates as she pulled herself away from Qin Lan's grasp.

The conflicting emotion of enjoying and hating what Qin Lan did to her made her questioned her heart.

"Devil... What kind of evil art you're using to disturb my mind? To think that I would have these kinds of feelings when you're touching me... It disgusts me!" Peng Yan said. She rubbed her waist where Qin Lan touches her before and also her wrist.

'She's totally out of her mind...' Lu Qing Yun kept stealing glances between the two as she battle against the two officers. And because everyone here had a slight familiarity towards another from the short month period back in the Demon Mountain Fort, there's no killing intent behind their attack.

"Brother, you've lost." Lu Yi and Huo Zunjie pants as the two of them brought the messenger serving Peng Yan down.

"I still lost to the two of you in the end... This is frustrating." the messenger smiled even though he was defeated.

"Things might be different if you're using the City-Protection Treasure you have on you... This is just not a fair battle between us. The next time, we'll fight one to one, without handicap!" Lu Yi said as he sat beside the messenger's side.

The other soldiers had the same thought treating this battle as a training session instead of a battle of life and death.

But to the being orchestrating the entire show from behind, this was a slap to her pride.

"Who exactly are you?" Peng Yan stopped attacking as the conflicting memories that appearing in her mind kept her feeling bothered. Added with Qin Lan's attack without intent and the weird reaction from her body, this made her lost track of what she actually wanted to do.

All that in her mind is thought to solve these conflicting memories in her head.

"Who am I? Do you still need to ask this? Why don't you take the red dress in your Qiankun Pouch out and try to remember yourself? Perhaps, you might have a different thought about this pervert after looking at it." Qin Lan said.

"Red dress?" Peng Yan suspiciously stares at Qin Lan as her hand touched her Qiankun Pouch.

The exquisite dress that she once wears to impress Qin Lan appeared in her hand. This brought back some of her memories about what Hu Jia once told her.

"Pervert... No... Qin Lan?" the memories that were locked away from her suddenly returned as her mind was overflow with memories created when they're together. Perhaps the only regret she had in her would be that she's yet to become his woman.

"What happened?" two memories clashed and merged into one as she inspects the havoc around her. To think that she was actually a part of all this.

Turning her head back at the Bronze Dragon Unit that fought to their last drop of blood against Qin Fan's unit, it felt like a sword stabbed deep into her heart.

"No! No! No!" Peng Yan's heart was crushed by guilt at how her loyal subordinates died because she was not being herself. Even at this point, they're still faithfully executing her order, even if it meant she's calling them to die for her without meaning.

"How... How can this be? What actually happened?" Peng Yan turned her eyes back to Qin Lan. Her leg started to give in before she managed to walk a step further. Even the dress fell on the ground before she noticed.

"Peng Yan." Qin Lan moved forward and grabbed her before she fell to the ground. This time, there's no longer a hint of rejection from her because she had returned to herself.

"What have I done, Lan?" Peng Yan asked.

"Calm down. Tell me what happened after you left the Demon Mountain Fort." Qin Lan asked.

"What happened... I was on my way passing the border between the two provinces, and then... I was forcefully invited to the capital of Kuanglei Province..."

"Wait... Master!" Peng Yan turned her head around to where Lu Qing Yun was.

"Qing Yun! Careful!" Peng Yan seems to have remembered something. But it was too late when the power of a half-step Spiritual Root expert appeared from one of the two officers.

The sudden changes even managed to catch the three prince's guardians and Yang Wen by surprise. It was too late by the time they make a move.

"Qing Yun!" Qin Lan could only look at Lu Qing Yun getting a slap on her chest as the half-step Spiritual Root Expert revealed herself from her disguise. As if there's a bomb detonating inside of her chest, Lu Qing Yun coughs a stream of blood as she was thrown more than five meters away.

It is impossible to guess whether she's still alive or not.

"Evil Abbess Wu Shuang!" Elder Yang Wen entered the battlefield as he yelled the name of the expert.

"Evil Abbess Wu Shuang? That's your master?" Qin Lan asked. Worried about Lu Qing Yun's safety, he had the urge to let Peng Yan down right now and made his way to Lu Qing Yun.

"Peng Yan! Kill that brat right now!" her master ordered by pointing her palm at Peng Yan and Qin Lan. In that instant, Peng Yan's eyes once again changed.
