The Evil Emperor's Favored Concubine: Divine Doctor Ninth Miss - Chapter 68

Jun Jiu didn’t seize the opportunity presented by Feng Xiao’s words to retaliate against the Jun family and Feng Tianqi.

As for why she didn’t immediately destroy the Jun family? Apart from the suffering endured by the original host, Jun Jiu only spoke of her own experiences. The attempts by the Jun family to poison her, Shangguan Yirong sending Jun Lei to kill her, ruining her reputation, and falsely accusing her of theft. Dealing with each of these one by one would make it too easy for Shangguan Yirong and the others to bear.

Jun Jiu suppressed her murderous intent. She glanced at Shangguan Yirong and the others, who were trembling in fear. They feared that she might speak out and provoke Feng Xiao to destroy the Jun family in a fit of anger.

With a slight upward tilt of her lips, Jun Jiu smiled.

They were afraid? She would deliberately refrain from acting. She wanted to hold this sword over their heads, causing them sleepless nights and endless anxiety. Being capricious and doing as she pleased was Jun Jiu’s style.

Jun Jiu spoke up, “There’s no need for you to seek revenge for me. Now that my business here is done, Yun Shaoye, Yun Qiao, let’s go back. Unless you still want to continue attending the birthday banquet?”

Jun Jiu looked at them, her eyes filled with playful mockery.

Forget about the banquet, Jun Xiong was struggling just to maintain a smile now. A banquet? He looked like he was attending a funeral.

Of course, Yun Qiao didn’t want to stay either. He immediately spoke up, “Wherever Miss Jun goes, I’ll go! Let’s go back.”

“Alright. Jun Family Head, we’ll take our leave now,” Yun Chongjin said, and the bystanders suddenly snapped out of their daze. Without exception, they all bid farewell to Jun Xiong. None of them could bear to stay for the banquet any longer.

Maintain a relationship with the Jun family? Didn’t they see the Supreme Emperor standing here, ready to dismantle the Jun family at any moment!

In the blink of an eye, the hall was empty, leaving only Jun Xiong’s family and Feng Tianqi. At this moment, Feng Xiao hadn’t left yet, and they could only tremble in fear.

Feng Xiao looked down at them and said, “Jun Jiu won’t hold you accountable, so I won’t bring this up again. But since I’ve disrupted the wedding of your Jun family, I’ll make it up to you now.”

Feng Xiao casually pointed at Jun Yunxue. “This Miss Jun Yunxue? The daughter of the Jun family, and also the crown prince. You should set a date for their marriage as soon as possible!”

“No!” Jun Yunxue screamed. “I absolutely refuse to marry the crown prince!”

Feng Xiao snorted coldly. “I arranged this marriage, and no one can refuse it. If the crown prince still wants to be the crown prince, he must marry her!”

Bullying Jun Jiu, as if he hadn’t seen anything? Even if Jun Jiu didn’t want him to seek revenge, he wouldn’t let this unfaithful man and the Jun family off the hook. Weren’t they inseparable and sweet just a moment ago? He would just fulfill their wishes.

Feng Xiao finished speaking and left. He still had to go after Jun Jiu.

Left behind were Jun Yunxue and Feng Tianqi, glaring at each other as if they were sworn enemies. They both wished they could tear each other apart! One resented Feng Tianqi for abandoning her in front of everyone to marry Jun Jiu, while the other resented himself for his failed ambition. They both looked at Jun Yunxue with no patience left.

Jun Xiong and Shangguan Yirong didn’t have the luxury to pay attention to them. In their hearts, they were both thinking, “It’s over! If news of today’s events spreads, the reputation of the Jun family will be completely ruined!”

However, they didn’t reflect on their own mistakes. They only resented that they couldn’t kill Jun Jiu and how the Supreme Emperor had returned so quickly.

Shangguan Yirong’s gaze fell on Jun Haitian and Jun Qianqian, and he immediately exploded with rage. “How are these two useless idiots still here! Drag them out! Drag them out and kill them! Useless trash, they all deserve to die!”

“Hehehe, it’s you who should die! Jun Jiu will kill you all! She will kill you all!” Jun Haitian was dragged out, still pointing at Shangguan Yirong and shouting frantically.

…

Outside the Jun Residence, everyone saw Jun Jiu still approaching them with enthusiasm. With interests as the top priority, Saintly Hand Jun Jiu only needed to rely on her alchemy skills to make them all forget about Jun Jiu’s bloodbath against the branch family. After all, it was the branch family’s fault! But just as they took a few steps, they saw the Supreme Emperor Feng Xiao coming out of the Jun Residence. In an instant, they scattered like birds and beasts, running even faster than rabbits.

Despite Feng Xiao appearing to be in his forties or fifties, he was actually over eighty. Thanks to his high cultivation, he looked ageless. His fearsome reputation had always been spread throughout the Kingdom of Heavenly Ascent. Didn’t the fact that one of the two major families, the Jun family, feared him show that nobody dared to provoke him?

“Wait!” Feng Xiao flashed in front of the Yun family’s carriage. He looked up and peered inside. “Jun Jiu? Xiao Jiu, are you in there? The Supreme Emperor wants to have a chat with you. It’s been over ten years since we last met!”

Yun Chongjin lifted the curtain of the carriage and respectfully addressed him, “Greetings, Supreme Emperor.”

“It’s not you. Is Xiao Jiu inside?”

“I’m here.” Jun Jiu held Xiao Wu in one hand and pinched her brow with the other. She hadn’t figured out how to face Feng Xiao yet.

She could accept enemies of the original host, such as Shangguan Yirong and his group. She would retaliate against them! After that, she would kill them cleanly. But for people who were kind to the original host, Jun Jiu was troubled. They were good to the original host, not her.

Jun Jiu was considering whether to tell Feng Xiao directly. The original host had left, and she didn’t need his care and protection.

“Meow!” Master?

“Miss Jun.” Xiao Wu and Yun Qiao both called out to her.

Jun Jiu put down her hand and looked at them. She spoke, “You both go back by yourselves.”

This meant she wanted to talk to Feng Xiao alone. Yun Qiao felt a little reluctant, but he understood and nodded understandingly. He added a reminder, “Miss Jun, be careful on the road. If you need anything, you can always come to us!”

“Qiaoqiao is right. The Yun family is always ready to welcome Miss Jun Jiu,” Yun Chongjin smiled at Jun Jiu.

Jun Jiu nodded faintly, indicating that she understood.

She got off the carriage while holding Xiao Wu. After instructing Beryl to go back by herself, she then looked at Feng Xiao. “Where do you want to talk?”

“Xiao Jiu, where do you live?” Feng Xiao faced Jun Jiu with a kindly smile. Upon closer inspection, one could see the carefulness in his eyes. Feng Xiao felt guilty for entrusting Jun Jiu to Jun Xiong and his wife, even though he had no other choice at the time. Even though he had been deceived by Jun Xiong and his wife! Feng Xiao couldn’t forgive himself for entrusting Jun Jiu to the wrong people and the consequences it brought.

Jun Jiu looked indifferent as she gazed at Feng Xiao. She turned and spoke, “I know of a restaurant with a nice ambiance.”

“Alright, a restaurant it is.”

The restaurant was the same one where Beryl had taken Jun Wan’er last time. It was well-hidden, and the food was excellent. As Jun Jiu walked ahead to the upstairs, she caught a glimpse of Lengyuan from the corner of her eye.

Lengyuan seemed to be asking her if she needed help dealing with Feng Xiao. After all, she seemed to be quite bothered by Feng Xiao’s presence. Jun Jiu lowered her gaze and silently gestured for Lengyuan to retreat into the darkness.

Once inside the private room and the door was closed, Jun Jiu got straight to the point. “What do you want to say?”

“Xiao Jiu, can you call me ‘Grandpa’ first? If you don’t like it, you can call me ‘Grandfather.’ I don’t mind either way,” Feng Xiao said.

Jun Jiu’s mouth twitched. Was there a difference between the two?

Xiao Wu jumped from Jun Jiu’s arms onto the table and licked its paw before answering Jun Jiu, “There is a difference, Master! ‘Grandpa’ is closer than ‘Supreme Emperor.’ ‘Supreme Emperor’ is the grandfather of the Feng family, but ‘Grandpa’ is your grandfather.”

Jun Jiu flatly refused and looked at Feng Xiao. “I have never seen you before.”
