The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 920: Why Praise Her? She’s the Asura Princess

The woman finally managed to steady herself, still grumbling, "Nanli, you’re so rude and inconsiderate. I don’t know why Siheng’s eyes are blind, but he picked you of all people."

It was undoubtedly Yun Jianchu.

Nanli’s scarecrow could transform into the appearance of a soul’s form from its past life.

Ximen Chuan had initially planned to tease her, but when Yun Jianchu looked up, she left everyone stunned.

The first golden rays of the morning sun fell upon her, and her simple light blue dress seemed to shine with a subtle glow.

More importantly, her face...

To call it stunning was no exaggeration.

Her complexion was as pale and delicate as the peach blossoms of March, and the Asura totem on her forehead was even more pronounced.

She was of royal blood, with purple eyes that looked even clearer in the sunlight, rippling like water.

Everyone was dazed.

Except for Siheng.

He only gave Yun Jianchu a quick glance before turning to welcome Nanli.

And Crimson Nine Lands.

He had seen Yun Jianchu before and had been mildly stunned, but now he said, "Hey! What are you all doing?! Are you all so easily bewitched by her?!"

Bai Hao coughed and quickly added, "It’s not that we’re bewitched... it’s just that she really is incredibly beautiful. Honestly, she’s the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen in all my years."

Yun Jianchu, clearly confident in her looks, smiled and raised an eyebrow, "Old sir, you’ve got an eye for beauty and a sweet tongue! Actually, all the Asura Royal Clan are either handsome men or beautiful women. I’m nothing special; my elder sister is even more beautiful than me."

She hadn’t had the chance to enjoy her compliment for long before Ximen Chuan threw a cold bucket of water on her, saying, "Why praise her? She’s the Asura Princess!"

Bai Hao quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, I almost forgot."

He was worried he might be charmed again, so he slapped his own face to stay awake.

Crimson Glow Peak Master looked between the two for a while before saying, "No wonder the little junior brother is so good-looking, he must take after you."

Only then did Yun Jianchu stop admiring herself. She turned her gaze to Yun Yubai.

When she died, she was still a young girl, and in the blink of an eye, her son stood tall and robust in front of her...

Now that she was using the scarecrow body, she wasn’t as reserved anymore.

She ran a few steps, rushing over to embrace Yun Yubai, "Son! I thought you were dead! Come, hug me, woo... you’re so tall and strong! When you were so little, you were like a little potato, and I could hold you so easily, but now... now I can’t hold you anymore, woo..."

The scarecrow body actually shed tears.

She cried uncontrollably.

Yun Yubai, seeing his birth mother’s appearance for the first time, grew even more anxious.

He froze for a long time, still not reaching out to hug her.

He had often wondered what his biological mother looked like, but he never imagined it would be like this.

She looked too young... even younger than him...

Yun Jianchu didn’t care about Yun Yubai’s awkwardness, directly pulling his hand and insisting, "Hug me."

Nanli really was impressive in what she did. She could smell Yun Yubai’s scent and feel his warmth.

Her heart was filled with joy.

The loneliness of being trapped in the secret realm for ten thousand years didn’t matter at all now!

Everyone had been somewhat wary of Yun Jianchu before.

But after seeing her acting like a silly child, all their caution melted away. They couldn’t help but wonder, with Celestial Emperor Yining having reached such a level of cultivation, how could he be so focused on looks, without considering the substance?

The wind was strong outside.

After Yun Jianchu finished crying, she continued to weep inside the Joy Spring Platform.

Even though she didn’t cling to Yun Yubai anymore, she still tightly gripped his hand, not letting go.

He pursed his lips, his emotions complicated, "Mother... please stop crying."

"Alright!" Yun Jianchu immediately stopped crying when she heard his words. She smiled at him but still wouldn’t take her eyes off him.

Crimson Nine Lands rolled his eyes, finally deciding to address something, "Nanli Divine Sovereign, you’ve got some nerve, sealing her inside your body like that. You nearly caused a disaster!"

Cinian quickly explained, "That’s not how it was. At that time, our cultivation wasn’t enough, and we had no choice but to seal her inside Nanli."

Siheng shot Nanli a reproachful glance and said, "You should have been able to pull her out by now, right?"

Nanli sighed, "Yes, that’s true. But after learning she had a history with Yining, like Crimson Nine Lands said, the Vajra Umbrella should have been made for their mother and son. I know Yining, and she only has this last trace of Demon Soul left, so I didn’t rush to extract her."

Yun Jianchu’s mood shifted from joy to dark.

She sat there without moving, her beauty still breathtaking.

Her gaze grew distant as she muttered three words, "I don’t believe it."

Bai Hao quickly said, "Princess Chuyun, it seems you disagree with what Crimson Nine Lands just said. Why not tell us what you’ve been through? Let’s all discuss it."

Yun Jianchu turned her head, her expression stubborn, "He’s just a scoundrel. I don’t need you to discuss anything!"

But her hand, still gripping Yun Yubai’s, tightened slightly. freewebnoveℓ.com

Her actions betrayed her.

Crimson Nine Lands stared at them for a moment before saying angrily, "Yun Jianchu, you had your chance to speak, and now you’re making trouble!"

Yun Jianchu didn’t fear him and mocked, "What, are you still talking? Who was the one who couldn’t defeat Shang Jue and needed someone to save him? If not for me being a good person, you would all be dead, you know!"

"You think just because you’re beautiful I won’t hit you?!" Crimson Nine Lands raised his fist, ready to charge at her.

Chu Yang grabbed him and said, "How old are you? Why are you still arguing with a woman?"

Crimson Nine Lands rolled his eyes and had to hold back his anger.

He grunted, "Yun Jianchu, you have no right to criticize Celestial Emperor Yining! I’m sure now—Celestial Emperor Yining was acting! He threw Yun Yubai into the furnace, looking cold-hearted, but he was actually secretly planning to save him! If he refused, we would have stepped in ourselves!"

Yun Jianchu’s fingers slowly curled into a fist.

Despite the scarecrow body having no breath or heartbeat, she felt her breath tighten, and her heart ache sharply.

Her eyes reddened, and her voice choked as she whispered, "No... he wouldn’t do that."

The scene of her child being thrown into the furnace still haunted her memory.

She remembered Yining’s emotionless words: "Our child is of mixed celestial and demon blood, not allowed by the heavens, so it must be killed. As for you, hiding your identity and staying by my side, you only have this end."

Seeing her on the verge of crying again, no one knew what to say, as they were all just outsiders to the situation.

Crimson Nine Lands, seeing she still wouldn’t believe in Celestial Emperor Yining’s intentions, grew even angrier, his face flushed.

He growled, "Why won’t you believe it? Who else could have saved Yun Yubai?!"

Yun Jianchu fell silent.

She only believed what she saw with her own eyes.

But was what she saw really the truth?
