Chapter 1743: Chapter 803: The Show Begins

Upon first entering the Divine Realm, Hong Mingyue thought that the Divine Realm was at least much better than a place like the Ancient Nine Provinces.

But who knew the Northern Territory was a world of ice and snow, miles upon miles of frozen expanse, and it was hard to see flourishing trees and flowers.

The whole year here blows with forest-cold and bone-chilling Gang Wind, quite different from what she imagined.

To nourish a fetus in such a place?

Hong Mingyue felt uneasy in her heart, but considering that this was ultimately the Divine Realm, with a chance to become a God, she suppressed her dissatisfaction.

As she stood in front of the majestic Divine Palace sculpted from ice and snow, Hong Mingyue felt a stirring she could not express.

No wonder it was the palace of the Divine Master; its grandeur was overwhelming, far surpassing even the Marquis Mansion of those days, and even the Daxia Palace was no match for a tenth of it.

It was only when the accompanying Divine General asked her to wait outside the palace, and went ahead to inform the Divine Consort, that Hong Mingyue realized there was a different mistress of the palace.

Regarding this Northern Territory Divine Consort, Hong Mingyue had previously investigated when she was getting close to Xi Jiuye, as did the South Nether Empress.

It was said that this Divine Consort was a God Emperor’s illegitimate daughter, a Human-God Mixed Blood, gentle in nature, and very much in love with Xi Jiuye.

It seemed Xi Jiuye liked such a temperament, akin to this Divine Consort, so Hong Mingyue hid her true nature, following Xi Jiuye with a submissive demeanor, and indeed succeeded.

Despite being a Divine Consort, to Hong Mingyue, she seemed no more than a high-ranking mistress.

She might not be inferior to her.

Thinking these thoughts, Hong Mingyue tightened her warm fur coat and waited outside the Divine Palace.

Inside the Northern Territory Divine Palace, Lan Chuchu lay on the Beauty Couch.

Perhaps due to excessive bleeding from the first pregnancy, Lan Chuchu was noticeably more laborious with this one than before.

"Brother Jiu Ye’s letter?"

Lan Chuchu was a bit surprised; ever since Xi Jiuye left the Northern Territory, he usually wrote a letter once a month.

It’s been so soon, another letter arrived; it seemed he greatly cherished her and the child in her womb.

Thinking of this, Lan Chuchu couldn’t help but feel a bit desolate.

She stroked her seven-month-old belly, thinking secretly, if only this child were truly Brother Jiu Ye’s flesh and blood.

Annoying were the Desire of Love poison and that fellow Lan Cang, whose Yin Soul lingered, making her restless day and night, hoping the Jade Hand Poison Master could come and dissolve the poison within her.

Lan Chuchu said languidly, her body inconvenient, feeling very weary these days.

"Read the letter aloud."

The maid beside her promptly opened the letter, glanced a few times, and was struck speechless with fear, not daring to make a sound.

"What is written in the letter? Present it to me."

Seeing the maid’s strange expression, Lan Chuchu took the letter for a look.

Upon looking, Lan Chuchu almost fainted.

Xi Jiuye actually had another woman!

And that woman even bore his flesh and blood, now staying outside the Divine Palace!

Lan Chuchu was so angry that she trembled all over.

"Xi Jiuye, how could you betray me!"

Lan Chuchu’s voice, like hell’s evil ghost, chilled the listener.

In her chest, it felt as if a fire burned, her organs pained fiercely.

Lan Chuchu didn’t expect that Xi Jiuye would actually have another woman.

In five hundred years, other than that wretched Ye Ling Yue, Xi Jiuye had never shown favor to another woman.

She thought his affection for her was indestructible.

Little did she know, with one phrase, "lost in lust, made a mistake," Xi Jiuye wanted to dismiss her.

Xi Jiuye even vowed in the letter, saying he did not love the woman named Hong Mingyue.

As soon as she gave birth, he would send her back to the Human Realm.

As for her child, whether male or female, it would be raised under Lan Chuchu’s name.

Who would want to raise a child for a Human Clan wretch?

"Divine Consort, you must not be angry. The Divine Master has not yet returned, why not use this opportunity to deal with that woman?"

Seeing, the maid whispered a reminder.

All these years, Xi Jiuye had not lacked concubines, but the longest he indulged them was no more than a month.

As soon as it exceeded a month, Lan Chuchu feared he would develop feelings, and always dealt with them secretly.

"Deal with her? She’s not one of those Lower level concubines, able to seduce Brother Jiu Ye, and also managing to get pregnant, this woman is not simple. Brother Jiu Ye’s progeny is sparse, he wants that child. If anything happens to her, Brother Jiu Ye will surely harbor resentment against me."

Though Lan Chuchu was furious, a brief thought and the anger slightly subsided.

Regarding Xi Jiuye, Lan Chuchu always felt guilty.

She secretly consorted with Lan Cang first, yet concealed a huge secret from Xi Jiuye, who had indeed always been attentive to her.

But even so, it did not mean Lan Chuchu could share Xi Jiuye with other women.

She appeared kind but was deeply calculating; otherwise, she wouldn’t have impersonated Ye Ling Yue, taking the credit of Xi Jiuye’s lifesaver.

Having shared the bed with him for so many years, he was utterly in the dark, or he wouldn’t have sent Hong Mingyue here, falsely hoping the two women could coexist peacefully.

"Someone, help me dress slowly. I want to see, what kind of seductress that wretch is, able to climb into Brother Jiu Ye’s bed."

After meticulously grooming her appearance, a full two hours later, she was supported by the maids, slowly stepping out of the Divine Palace.

Outside the Northern Territory Divine Palace, Hong Mingyue waited over two hours.

She was pregnant and just arrived at the Northern Territory; even with Primordial Power protecting her, she felt cold all over.

When Lan Chuchu came out, Hong Mingyue was already frozen stiff.

"Divine Consort arrives."

Hong Mingyue hurriedly displayed a clever posture, nodding with lowered eyes, only for a fragrant breeze to suddenly hit her face.

"Bold, upon seeing the Divine Consort, why don’t you kneel?"

A maid reproached.

Hong Mingyue was displeased in her heart, but could only slowly kneel down.

"Raise your head, let me see."

Hong Mingyue heard a voice sweet like pearls falling on a jade plate, she slowly lifted her head, meeting Lan Chuchu eye to eye.

There appeared a delicate and graceful face, captivating. Hong Mingyue was about to look closely, only to find the other’s expression suddenly changed.

Lan Chuchu gasped.

"Ye Ling Yue! How is it you!"

Hong Mingyue couldn’t help touching her face, remembering her resemblance to the Northern Territory Female War God.

"Divine Consort, I’m Hong Mingyue, not Ye Ling Yue."

"Audacious, who allowed you to speak? Someone, strike her!"

As Lan Chuchu saw Hong Mingyue’s face resembling Ye Ling Yue’s, all reason, all gentleness and generosity shattered instantly.

Ye Ling Yue!

She had returned!

That lingering woman, after killing her and Brother Jiu Ye’s first child, returned hauntingly.

Lan Chuchu felt the world spin, suddenly, a sharp pain arose within her womb, feeling warmth underneath, something flowing down her legs.
