What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? - Chapter 52

    When cutting weeds, one must remove the roots.

    All royal descendants understood this principle well.

    Since Prince Li Guanglu of Zhen Nan had decided to rebel, he naturally wanted to eliminate any future troubles.

    Though it wasn’t clear who the girl Ye Nian was born to, whether she was Li Ruowang’s daughter or someone else’s, it didn’t matter.

    What mattered was that she was officially Li Ruowang’s daughter, and that alone warranted her eradication from this world.

    Jie Chen, the third of the Southern Four Evils, grinned maliciously.

    In an instant, he vanished from his original position and reappeared on the throne of the Ascension Platform.

    At this moment, almost all the guard forces launched an attack on Li Guanglu as per Li Ruowang’s orders.

    On the throne, only Qingzhu and three female attendants remained to protect Ye Nian.

    Jie Chen’s sudden appearance caught everyone off guard.

    In their unpreparedness, two female attendants were instantly turned into pulp by Jie Chen.

    Qingzhu, quick-witted, immediately scooped up Ye Nian and prepared to fly towards where Li Ruowang was.

    However, at this moment, Jie Tan, the eldest of the Southern Four Evils, appeared on the other side of the Ascension Platform, blocking Qingzhu’s path and preventing her from joining Li Ruowang.

    “Lady Qingzhu, take the princess and leave quickly. I’ll hold them off!”

    The last remaining female attendant drew her sword, intending to block Jie Chen’s advance.

    But the disparity in strength was too great. Jie Chen’s body radiated with light, transforming into numerous vultures in the next moment, devouring the female attendant instantly.

    He then continued at full speed towards Qingzhu.

    Seeing this, Qingzhu knew she couldn’t confront Jie Chen head-on. She had to dodge and swiftly flew towards the direction of the palace.

    Qingzhu’s thoughts were clear.

    Once she reached the palace, there were the most elite soldiers of the Great Qian Dynasty and royal guards who might be able to stop this grotesque giant.

    Moreover, she could call for reinforcements to rescue the Empress.

    Everything happened too quickly, too abruptly, leaving no time for a proper reaction.

    When Ye Liangyan saw Jie Chen and Jie Tan chasing after Qingzhu in the distance, he immediately spoke in a solemn tone, “Your Majesty the Empress, I’m willing to lead the troops over and vow to protect Her Highness the Princess with my life.”

    Li Ruowang turned her head and glanced in the direction where the Azure Cloud Sect disciples were located.

    Seeing that the masked Ye Yu had already disappeared without a trace, a touching smile appeared on her face.

    “You all just focus on dealing with the enemy. No one can leave unless Li Guanglu is killed,” she said.

    Jie Tan quickly approached. “Such a beautiful fairy, she must taste delicious. How about I start by eating her legs?”

    With that, Jie Tan took Qingzhu from Jie Chen, opening his bloody mouth wide, preparing to devour her legs.

    “No!” Ye Nian immediately stepped out from the tree trunk.

    Though she hadn’t been with Lady Qingzhu for long, she had already regarded her as an elder sister. How could she bear to watch her being eaten alive?

    Summoning all her strength, Ye Nian shouted loudly, “Let go of Elder Sister Qingzhu, and I’ll leave with you!”

    “Princess!” Qingzhu’s eyes were bloodshot as she shook her head repeatedly.

    But the vines almost drained all her spiritual energy, leaving Qingzhu unable to do anything but feel furious.

    “What a compassionate little girl,” Jie Chen sneered.

    With just a few steps, he arrived in front of Ye Nian, raising his large hand to grab her.

    But just then, the clear sky suddenly became overcast with dark clouds. A sword light flashed across, followed by several purple thunderbolts descending from the sky.

    BOOM!

    After a muffled sound, Jie Chen fell to the ground, completely blackened.

    Countless small wounds appeared on his body, and there was even a faint scent of roasted flesh.

    Such a scene instantly stunned everyone present.

    Qingzhu looked up.

    She saw behind Ye Nian, a figure in white appeared. He still wore the eight-bamboo mask on his face.

    It’s actually him?

    Ye Nian couldn’t believe it either. She slowly turned back.

    When she saw Ye Yu’s figure, she immediately felt an unprecedented sense of security surge in her heart.

    Just like when her daddy was by her side.

    “How dare you lay a hand on her? Are you tired of living?”

    At this moment, Ye Yu’s anger reached its peak.

    If it was about usurping the throne, then so be it.

    But how dare they touch his daughter?

    This, Ye Yu absolutely couldn’t tolerate.

    Whether it was the Four Southern Evils or the Prince of Zhen Nan.

    Anyone who dared to harm Ye Nian deserved to die!
