Damien Gray raised his eyebrow, how had he not noticed?
Ignoring the fact that they were on a busy street, Morgan Shangguan reached out to wrap her arms around his neck, smiling as she said, "I really did make you lose something important!"
Seeing Damien Gray's confused expression, Morgan laughed and reminded him, "The throne!" If it weren't for her, Damien might have ended up sitting on that dragon chair.
Damien bit her lip gently and whispered, "How could the throne ever compare to you?"
Morgan smiled and asked, "Where to next?"
"You decide."
"Hmm..." Morgan thought for a moment, then suddenly closed her eyes and began to spin in place. When she stopped, she was facing the direction of Silvermoon Kingdom, and couldn't help but laugh, "Looks like it's time to go back and see Roxy and Ethan!"
The scene faded, but that blissful smile seemed to linger before his eyes. Yun Tian couldn't help but sigh—so even Feng Qing could smile like that, not a distant mask but a true, heartfelt joy. That man must truly love her, right?
Yun Yi's heart was a tangle of emotions, while Shangguan Ling felt even more conflicted. Seeing Feng Qing so happy, she was relieved, but when Feng Qing said, "I don't care about anyone else!" it made her realize just how deeply she'd hurt her. Otherwise, how could Feng Qing be so indifferent to her family?
The most agitated of all was Yun Xuan. Why? Why did Feng Qing get to be so happy? "This isn't real, it's fake, all of it is fake!"
King Yama felt comforted in his heart as well—this was a glimpse of the future, and he just knew his precious granddaughter would find happiness. Only that rascal could give her such joy. Though he never liked that boy, he had to admit, no one loved Feng Qing more than he did!
Glancing at the hysterical Yun Xuan, King Yama shook his head. This woman was beyond saving—letting her be reborn as a pig in her next life was too good for her. She ought to be a pig for all eternity!
And as for Shangguan Ling, when she died, he wouldn't let her rest in peace either. For now, let her slowly repent for her mistakes.
King Yama's menacing gaze went unnoticed by Yun Xuan, but Shangguan Ling saw it and quickly said, "King Yama, Xuanxuan didn't know any better..."
King Yama snorted coldly, "Feng Qing is the same age as her, so why does she understand?"
"I..." Shangguan Ling was left speechless.
Yun Xuan glared at her hatefully, her voice cold. "Don't pretend to care. I don't need you to plead for me!" Maybe because she was already dead, she no longer feared Shangguan Ling.
Shangguan Ling's face was full of sorrow, but Yun Xuan ignored her. King Yama glanced at Shangguan Ling and said, "Don't worry, I won't let her soul scatter. At most, she'll be reincarnated as a beast forever!"
"What?" Shangguan Ling cried out, but King Yama gave her no chance to say more, dragging Yun Xuan away with him.
Shangguan Ling collapsed to the ground, overwhelmed with regret. Because of her ambition, because she wanted the Shangguan Family to flourish, she had harmed two daughters, even condemned Xuanxuan for eternity. All of this was her own fault!
At this moment, the matchmaking contest at the Xu residence had come to an end. Unsurprisingly, the final winner was Jing Mohen. As for Miss Xu, Jing Mohen, a disciple of the Valley of the Immortal Healer, would hardly lose to a sheltered young lady. There was no need for Gu Yihan to intervene.
Yet, despite winning the contest, Jing Mohen wore a face full of worry. Whenever he looked at Gu Yihan, there was always a hint of gritted teeth in his gaze.
He'd finally managed to drug Gu Yihan once, but gained nothing from it. Instead, after the effects wore off, Gu Yihan tormented him half to death. He was unwilling to accept this—truly unwilling!
Was he really destined to be bullied for life? If only he'd taken his medical studies seriously back then!
Jing Mohen sat there with a dark expression, feeling none of the joy of victory. He cast cold glances at Gu Yihan from time to time, but Gu Yihan seemed completely oblivious to his resentment, ignoring him altogether.
Just then, Master Xu took the stage to announce the winner: Hua Qianyu, the leader of the Bosuo Sect.
As Shangguan Ruoxi had expected, Master Xu's true target was indeed Hua Qianyu. She also understood that even if she revealed the contestant wasn't actually Hua Qianyu, Master Xu would only fly into a rage, but would still cling to Hua Qianyu regardless.
This contest had always felt odd—yesterday was strange enough, but today was even stranger.
Today was supposed to be the finals, yet Master Xu still insisted on having people write prescriptions. Even the final match against Miss Xu was about writing prescriptions, and Jing Mohen wasn’t even allowed on stage. Clearly, Master Xu didn’t want him in the spotlight.
Although many in the audience were paying close attention, this group had always sat together, so everyone could see clearly that Jing Mohen hadn’t competed alone—Gu Yihan had helped him before.
Given all this, everyone naturally assumed Jing Mohen was competing on behalf of Hua Qianyu, since he’d used Hua Qianyu’s name from the start. Even if some were dissatisfied, what could they say? After all, it was Master Xu marrying off his daughter, and he’d already set his sights on the leader of the Bosuo Sect. Outsiders had no say.
From the very beginning, Master Xu had been shielding Hua Qianyu and his group—everyone could see it plainly.
If Hua Chen controlled the wealth of Dongkui Town, then Master Xu, as the town’s chief physician, held everyone’s life and death in his hands. That’s why no one dared to cause trouble at the Xu residence.
So, as long as Master Xu had chosen Hua Qianyu, no one else would say much. Although Yu Xiang was tempting, few truly knew how to make use of her.
Besides, no one dared compete with the leader of the Bosuo Sect. In everyone’s eyes, Hua Qianyu’s silence meant he was satisfied with the outcome.
But the reason Hua Qianyu kept quiet was simply to see what kind of game Master Xu was playing. He didn’t believe Master Xu’s only motive was to marry off his precious daughter.
It was all too coincidental—no one expected Jing Mohen to suddenly enter the contest using Hua Qianyu’s name, and for Hua Qianyu to just happen to show up at the Xu residence.
