Confrontation (1)

Xiao Shou's expression darkened at the sound of the voice. He whirled around to see a group of six figures in the distance.

The one who had spoken was a slender man with pale skin. He was Bei Cong, the Northern Emperor. Standing beside Bei Cong were Dongfang Lou, the Eastern Emperor, and Xi Hong, the Western Emperor.

Xiao Shou also spotted his "old lover," Sheng Qianyu, along with Ying She and Gao Kang.

Sheng Qianyu's gaze lingered on Xiao Shou with a complicated mix of emotions. After leaving the Netherworld, she learned the shocking truth: he was the Southern Emperor all along.

Every time she recalled how arrogantly she had taunted him, a shiver ran down her spine. Thankfully, Xiao Shou seemed unbothered to care about her.

Bei Cong's eyes swept over Lin Xinyao and the others behind Xiao Shou. He smiled with an air of amusement. "Quite a gathering of beautiful women. It seems fortune favors us today."
