Even Among Celestial Beings, There Are Differences!

Translator: CinderTL

Xu Sanyan picked up the rod on the table and slowly lifted the red veil, revealing Yang Qiyuan's shy face.

Xu Sanyan let out a long breath of relief in his heart. It wasn't too bad; her lips were slightly protruding, but she wasn't ugly as the rumors had suggested.

"Husband... are you disappointed?" Yang Qiyuan lowered her head and asked softly.

Xu Sanyan chuckled lightly and shook his head, "Madam, you worry too much. I'm face-blind."

"Pfft~~"

Yang Qiyuan couldn't help but laugh.

Xu Sanyan reached out and wrapped his arm around her shoulders. Yang Qiyuan trembled, her face instantly flushing red.

For so many years, due to her appearance, she had never had physical contact with a man, let alone spoken to one more than a few times.

"Madam, it's dark..."

"Yes."

"It's time to sleep..."

"Yes."

...

The red candles dripped slowly, and the beauty on the bed blushed like autumn maple leaves.

Inside the room, the atmosphere was filled with warmth, while outside, the night wind howled. Yang Qiyuan tightly closed her eyes, her face as red as if it were on fire.

"Ah!"

Yang Qiyuan let out a cry of pain, then quickly covered her mouth, whispering, "I... I'm fine, husband, please continue."

Xu Sanyan's lips curled into a smile, and the room was filled with suppressed groans...

As the sky began to lighten, the matter was finally over. Yang Qiyuan could finally catch her breath, her voice hoarse as she spoke, "Husband, the Cui Family came to see me before."

Xu Sanyan frowned, "What for?"

"The Cui Family has a daughter named Cui Wanying. She is exceptionally beautiful and talented, and she admires you greatly. She wishes to enter our household as a concubine," Yang Qiyuan spoke with a hint of sadness.

"I took the liberty of agreeing to it. I hope you won't blame me. The Cui Family will send her over tomorrow."

She was well aware of her own average appearance and was very understanding about such matters.

Xu Sanyan nodded. Cui Wanying was indeed a peerless beauty, even more so than Tang Huanhuan and Madam Wu.

...

After the wedding, life gradually returned to normal. Ten days later, Prince Rui was about to lead his army on a campaign.

The Eldest Prince, accompanied by the officials, saw him off outside the city. Xu Sanyan stood among the crowd.

Prince Rui, clad in armor, stood on the war chariot and addressed the crowd, "The supplies must be delivered on time. Any delay will be dealt with according to military law!"

"Father, rest assured. I will ensure strict supervision," the Eldest Prince responded loudly.

Prince Rui nodded and waved his hand, "Let's move out!"

Xu Sanyan watched as the army marched away, his excitement growing.

The show... was about to begin!

The Eldest Prince glanced at Xu Sanyan, their eyes meeting in the air. Xu Sanyan smiled lightly.

The Eldest Prince had already sentenced him to death in his heart, a cruel glint flashing in his eyes as he turned and left.

The officials behind him avoided Xu Sanyan like the plague, keeping their distance.

In everyone's eyes, Xu Sanyan was Prince Rui's man. Now that Prince Rui was on the campaign, the Eldest Prince was in charge of Xiang City. There was no doubt about which side to stand on.

Xu Sanyan didn't care. In this world where power was everything, strength was the ultimate authority.

If anyone dared to provoke him, he would show them what it meant to be a Celestial Being, what it meant to possess a Heavenly Earth Treasure,

and what it meant to be—unstoppable!

...

Returning home, Yang Qiyuan and Cui Wanying were sitting together, chatting hand in hand. At least on the surface, they seemed to get along very well.

When Cui Wanying saw Xu Sanyan return, her eyes unconsciously glanced at the teapot on the table, then guiltily looked away.

While Xu Sanyan was seeing Prince Rui off, Cui Jie had secretly come, urging her to act quickly and threatening her with her mother's safety.

Cui Wanying had no choice. On one side was her birth mother, and on the other was Xu Sanyan. She had to choose her mother.

As for telling the truth and seeking Xu Sanyan's help, she had considered it but ultimately gave up. She didn't believe Xu Sanyan could stand against the Cui Family, nor did she think he would offend the Cui Family for her sake.

"Master, please have some tea."

Cui Wanying extended her delicate hands, gracefully standing up to pour tea for Xu Sanyan.

Her subtle movements didn't escape Xu Sanyan's notice. She didn't understand the capabilities of a Celestial Realm Warrior.

Xu Sanyan's senses were now so sharp, his observations so meticulous, that he could see the veins on a leaf dozens of meters away. How could he miss the obvious changes in Cui Wanying's expression?

Yang Qiyuan's eyes flickered, and she reached out to press down the teacup, "Little sister, is something troubling you?"

Xu Sanyan sat nearby, somewhat surprised. Although Yang Qiyuan had practiced martial arts, her cultivation was low, only at the Qi Refinement stage. Yet she had also sensed something amiss.

Cui Wanyan's heart raced, but for the sake of her mother, she forced herself to remain calm, pretending innocence, "Thank you for your concern, sister. I'm fine."

"Sigh..."

Yang Qiyuan sighed. She had wanted to give Cui Wanying another chance, but she hadn't taken it. She could only shake her head and leave.

Though kind-hearted, she wasn't naive. Some things simply couldn't be done.

Only now did Cui Wanying visibly panic. At this point, she knew her actions had been discovered.

Her legs gave way, and she collapsed to the ground, her lips trembling as she tried to explain, but no words came out.

"Speak. Who told you to do this?"

Xu Sanyan swirled the teacup, lightly sniffing it. His internal organs, strengthened by the Blood-Red Dagger, were now immune to ordinary poisons. But that wasn't a reason to let her off.

Cui Wanyan's face turned pale, her voice trembling with tears, "Master, Cui Jie threatened me with my mother's safety. I... had no choice..."

Xu Sanyan nodded in understanding and handed her the teacup, "Don't worry. I'll send Cui Jie to keep you company."

Cui Wanyan looked desolate, silently reaching out to take the teacup. In that moment, she thought of many things—the happiness when her father was alive, the sorrow after his death, the hardships of her and her mother relying on each other...

Tears streamed from Cui Wanying's eyes as she pleaded with Xu Sanyan, "Master, for the sake of my service to you, please spare my mother's life."

Xu Sanyan smiled.

Cui Wanyan sighed deeply, raised the teacup, and drank it all in one go. Moments later, blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, and she was no more.

Xu Sanyan didn't look at her again, nor did he feel any pity.

This was the fate of the weak—helpless and at the mercy of others.

No matter how beautiful you were, it couldn't save your life in critical moments.

Xu Sanyan called out to Yang Qiyuan, who was not far away, "Go and fetch my blade."

Yang Qiyuan was startled, instinctively saying, "Husband, you mustn't. The Cui Family is powerful, and their patriarch is also a Celestial Realm Warrior. We should plan this carefully."

Xu Sanyan shook his head with a light laugh, slowly standing up as he spoke,

"Even among Celestial Beings, there are differences!"

Since entering the city, he had enjoyed a rare period of peace, not drawing his blade.

But unfortunately, this had led some to misunderstand, thinking he was a soft target?

Hah... he was never a kind-hearted man. On the contrary, he was a bandit!

A bandit who made a living off the dead!
